Chapter 232 Deception
"How long have they been up there?" Shen Yijin asked this question with gritted teeth.
The players could tell something was wrong with Shen Yijin's voice, and they didn't dare to mention following her up the mountain anymore. Now they said honestly, "It's been about a quarter of an hour up there, right?"
In a quarter of an hour, if we go fast, we might have reached the top of the mountain by now.
Shen Yijin cursed inwardly, and first used her spiritual power to send the group of players in the cave outside the spiritual vein, and then pulled Nan Mingcheng to the top of the mountain quickly.
Worried about the players getting into trouble, Shen Yijin's palms were soaked with sweat.
Nan Mingcheng felt the warmth in his palm and comforted him, "They will be fine."
Nan Mingcheng said this not only to comfort Shen Yijin, the target of the shrine was Shen Yijin, and He should not be too interested in other people.
If Shen Yijin hadn't entered the game, He might have taken action against these players, but now that Shen Yijin is here, those players should be safe for the time being.
Shen Yijin didn't reply, but just silently quickened his pace.
The two reached the top of the mountain, but did not see the players who had set out earlier.
They only saw a half-man-high shrine under a locust tree.
Shen Yijin's heart sank. She walked to the shrine and asked coldly, "Where are those players? Did you devour their souls?"
There was no change in the shrine, but the voice that had been urging Shen Yijin to go up the mountain sounded again, but the content was changed.
"They are my children. How could I devour their souls for no reason?"
He is the world consciousness. As long as He wants, all living beings in this world can die at any time.
If He wanted to devour the souls of the players, He could do it with just a thought, there was no need to go through the trouble of luring them over.
Shen Yijin understood what she meant, but did not believe Him: "They just think they are playing a game, and you are an NPC in the game. If you say that only by completing the sacrifice can the game mission be considered completed and quit the game, they will definitely believe it. They 'voluntarily' sacrifice themselves, so for you, it is not without reason."
"Don't play word games with me. Answer my question. Have you devoured their souls?" Shen Yijin looked at the shrine coldly, as if she would destroy the shrine on the spot if it devoured the souls of the players.
The world consciousness was not angry when its thoughts were revealed by Shen Yijin.
"It hasn't been devoured yet. As long as you put my eyes in the shrine, I will release their souls and send them back to their bodies. Not only them, but also the other children trapped in the game, I will send them back." He negotiated with Shen Yijin slowly.
"Okay, you send them out first." Shen Yijin didn't trust Him.
If she put the eyes into the shrine, she would have no bargaining chips at all. If He changed His mind, she would be helpless.
But at the same time, the world consciousness couldn’t completely trust Shen Yijin: “That won’t work. What if I send them out and you don’t return my eyes to me?”
Chen Yijin smiled: "If you let them go, you can still bring people in. Besides, I'm in the game. If I don't return my eyes to you, you can't let me out. In this way, in order to get out, don't I have to return my eyes to you?"
"You are the world consciousness, and I am just an ordinary creature. You have nothing to worry about."
The world consciousness thought about it and felt that what Shen Yijin said made sense.
He sent out the beta test players trapped in the game. Their souls rose into the sky like stars and finally disappeared into the sky.
"I have sent them away. Now, you should return my eyes to me." He said anxiously.
Shen Yijin took out the pair of eyes that she had taken away in the dark room, and walked into the shrine with the eyes, but she didn't see where to put the eyes.
Chen Yijin asked, "How can I put your eyes in the shrine? Your shrine doesn't even have a place to hold the offerings."
"It's here!" As soon as Shen Yijin finished speaking, the female ghost ran to the top of the mountain panting, holding the pointer in her hand, and ran straight to the shrine without stopping for a moment.
The female ghost placed the pointer in front of the shrine, and the next moment, the pointer turned into a sacrificial vessel.
Shen Yijin put the eyes into the sacrificial vessel, and as soon as she put them in, the eyes disappeared.
Then, the shrine emitted a blinding white light, and Shen Yijin felt something leaving the shrine.
Shen Yijin was stimulated by the white light and blinked subconsciously. When she opened her eyes again, she and Nan Mingcheng had returned to their bodies, and their consciousness had been kicked out of the game.
Chen Yijin looked at the female ghost who was kicked out beside her: "Now that He has returned, when can we return to Xuanling Sect?"
The female ghost's eyes flickered, not daring to look at Shen Yijin.
Seeing this, Nan Mingcheng threw a silver collar at the female ghost.
"This is a spiritual weapon I recently refined. It can bind souls. Once you put on this collar, you can forget about returning to the underworld." Nan Mingcheng said lightly. After hearing his words, the female ghost's face became paler and paler, as if she had died again.
The female ghost burst into tears. If she had known earlier, she should have returned to the underworld as soon as possible so that she would not be caught.
But the "Chen Yijin" below was not a good person. He was afraid that his life would be in danger if he went back, so he hesitated and did not go back...
The female ghost thought a lot at once. Compared with the "Chen Yijin" in the underworld, the Shen Yijin in the human world knew her well and treated her better.
Going back the opposite way would most likely lead to death, so the female ghost decided to rebel and stop being a ghost messenger. She wanted to continue to stay with Shen Yijin.
After thinking this through, the female ghost stopped hiding and answered whatever Shen Yijin asked.
It pointed to the ground and spoke carefully: "In fact, those words she said were all lies to you. The fusion of the two worlds is an inevitable trend, and His return cannot stop the fusion. She said that to you just to make you willingly send Him back."
After the female ghost finished speaking, she saw that Shen Yijin didn't look strange. She was afraid that Shen Yijin would think she had no use value, so she hurriedly said: "In fact, she is also a part of Him! At the beginning, His incarnation was hurt by Shen's father, and the child was born dead. It was because He split himself into two halves and put one half into the dead baby's body that the child came back to life!"
Hearing this, Shen Yijin's expression changed slightly and he came to his senses.
She said, how could the original owner know so many things, those things Shen's father would definitely not tell her, and only the person involved could know the whole story.
"Chen Yijin" is Him, so naturally they are anxious for Him to return.
"What about the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanling Realm? Do you know what kind of deal they made?" Shen Yijin's eyes deepened when he thought of what the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanling Realm said to him when he first came to this world.
The Heavenly Dao of the Xuanling Realm is heading towards the world consciousness of this world. Things are not looking good!
