After Chen Yijin left, Shan Shunan and the others looked at each other, all a little confused.
Shuang Hongchang rubbed his head and looked at Shan Shunan expectantly: "Big Brother, do you know what's going on? Our Jiuxuan Sect is already very well-known. Why is Master so anxious for us to increase its popularity?"
Shuang Hongchang didn't think Shan Shunan was qualified to be the eldest disciple. He always thought that Shan Shunan was just lucky to become Shen Yijin's first disciple. Everyone was present at the time, and he was not very convinced. Therefore, he usually didn't call Shan Shunan "senior brother", but only called him by his name.
This was the first time Shuang Hongchang called Shan Shunan "Senior Brother".
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
Shan Shunan knew that Shuang Hongchang was so active in seeking talents, but the problem was that he didn't know why Shen Yijin was so anxious.
He had a headache: "Instead of asking me, you might as well ask your Third Senior Sister."
Shan Shunan sincerely felt that as the first person to be taught fortune-telling skills by Shen Yijin, Jin Huihui knew more about the inside story than he did.
With Nan Mingcheng blocking him, it was difficult for him to even meet Chen Yijin, let alone know what was going on.
Jin Huihui was a little confused when her name was called: "Huh? Why are you asking me? I don't know anything!"
The disciples stared at each other, none of them knowing what was going on.
They didn't dwell on this matter for too long, and gathered together to discuss how to increase the popularity of the Jiuxuan Sect.
"I think we can organize a joint event. Didn't Boss Bei say before that we could have her artists perform? We can talk to Boss Bei about cooperation..."
"Master doesn't seem to want celebrities to come to Jiuxuan Sect. Can they perform without showing their faces?"
"How is this possible? What celebrity agrees to participate in a show if it's not to increase their own popularity? How can they gain followers without even showing their face?"
"Then we can invite actors from stage plays to choreograph a play based on the history of the Jiuxuan Sect..."
…
While the disciples of Jiuxuan Sect were trying to find ways to increase the sect's reputation, Shen Yijin had already met Lan Yin.
Lan Yin already knew what happened to the spiritual vein before Shen Yijin came, so she was not surprised to see Shen Yijin coming.
"Before you came, He came to show off to me, saying that you helped Him a lot, and in return, He will revive this world as soon as possible." Lan Yin sighed. It seemed that her previous acting with Shen Yijin did not dispel the vigilance of the world consciousness. He always knew that he was on Shen Yijin's side.
Chen Yijin sat down across from Lan Yin, his expression grim. "Did He really say that? Ha, so-called rebirth is to destroy humanity. He really knows how to change the concept."
Humans are imperfect, but other races are not as good as the world consciousness imagines. If monsters are allowed to become the masters of the world, the reborn world he talks about will fall into disorder and fighting, which is worse than it is now.
Moreover, monsters possess extraordinary power and are much more lethal than humans. If they were to replace humans, the speed of world destruction might be accelerated.
Lan Yin shook her head and pointed to the top of her head: "It's useless for you to tell me these words."
Shen Yijin thought to herself, it’s useless to talk to the world consciousness. “He” has already fallen into his own inherent thinking and won’t listen to her.
"I know you're gathering the power of faith." Lan Cui took a sip of tea and looked at Chen Yijin with a determined look in her eyes. "Although I'm not Him, I was the master of the underworld for a while and gained a lot of power of faith. Let's merge. With my power, you'll have a better chance of winning against Him."
Chen Yijin was stunned when she heard that. She came here to ask Lan Yin if she knew how long it would take for the world consciousness to recover. Unexpectedly, before she even asked the main question, Lan Yin brought up the idea of fusion.
"I'm already speeding up the collection of the power of faith, you don't have to..." Shen Yijin knew that the method Lan Yin said was the best solution at the moment.
However, Lan Yin could only live under the shadow of the world consciousness before. Only after He left did Lan Yin gain a brief period of freedom.
She has not yet gone out to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of her motherland or travel to the green places around the world.
If the two of them merged, Lan Yin's consciousness would dissipate and she would never have the chance to run on the grass again.
Shen Yijin couldn't bear it.
Lan Yin knew what Chen Yijin was thinking. With a faint smile on her face, she had already made preparations: "We don't have time. If we wait any longer, this world will really become what He said it would be. I am the one whose consciousness disappeared after the fusion. I don't care. Why are you so persistent?"
She stood up, walked to Shen Yijin's side, and extended her hand. "We are one and the same. Your life is my life. After resolving His affairs, you must take me on a global tour. If you return to the Xuanling Realm, take me around and let me see what the land you live in is like."
Shen Yijin looked at Lan Yin for a long time, and finally held Lan Yin's hand. She responded in a hoarse voice: "Okay, no matter which world we are in, I will take you to every corner of the world."
"Then I will have no regrets." Lan Yin smiled and closed her eyes. Her figure gradually dissipated and completely disappeared from this world.
Shen Yijin was shrouded in black fog. She felt her blood run cold, and there were voices ringing in her head, breaking her tranquility.
Shen Yijin had just merged with Lan Yin and had not yet recovered from the feeling of loss. She had gained another memory belonging to Lan Yin, which she had intended to digest slowly.
But there were too many and too complicated voices in her head, and she really couldn't calm down and digest the extra memories.
Annoyed, Shen Yijin simply used his spiritual sense to capture those sounds, trying to drive them out of his mind.
But the moment his consciousness touched the sound, scenes emerged in Shen Yijin's mind.
Those were the voices of the people in the underworld. Some were praying for a speedy reincarnation, some were begging to return to the human world to seek revenge, and some were begging desperately to climb out of the River of Oblivion and return to shore...
The underworld has a large population, including ghost messengers. Everyone has something to ask for. They cannot ask others for help, so they can only pray to the master of the underworld to help them realize their wishes.
"Is this the power of faith?" Shen Yijin murmured. She had been collecting the power of faith for so long, but this was the first time she felt the power of faith in its concrete form.
Thinking of the many shrines that the world consciousness had placed in the human world, Chen Yijin didn't quite understand why He, who had absorbed so much power of faith, couldn't understand people's suffering. Just because He had been hurt by humans in one life, He wanted to completely destroy the human race?
Shen Yijin was lost in thought and didn't notice that the picture in her mind had changed.
