The secret behind the arrival of the world of strange rules?!
The question was so tempting that Yue Qi and Yan Che couldn't help but raise their guard to the highest level.
After all, the vast majority of people in the world are still struggling in a survival battle royale. As for why this world of strange rules suddenly appeared, people all over the world are eager for an answer.
After posing this question, the great shaman reverted to his composed and unassuming demeanor, appearing even more mysterious than before.
Yue Qi dared not be negligent and pulled Yan Che over to pay his respects to the Great Shaman. In any case, the divine beings' contractors in the mortal world were far beyond the reach of ordinary mortals like them.
The Great Shaman was very satisfied with their sensibility, after all, the only place in the world where the answer to this problem could be found was the three hellish dungeons.
"I imagine you're all quite curious as to why the World of Rules and Mysteries descended on the fifteenth of July last year, aren't you?" The Great Shaman smiled slowly.
"The answer to this question is actually quite simple. The fifteenth of the seventh lunar month is the day with the heaviest Yin energy of the year. It is also the day when the Nine Nether Hell's binding force on the Six Paths of Reincarnation is weakest. When the gates of hell are wide open, it is normal for some demons and monsters to occasionally escape. However, most of them will not amount to much."
Yue Qi had heard these things from the Great Shaman since childhood; they were common knowledge within the Xuanmen sect. However, what he said next was the key point.
"The conditions for the arrival of the World of Rules of Strange Tales are actually very simple - when three Gold-Rank Title Strange Beings are automatically born in a certain world, the rules will be connected, and the entire world will become the chessboard of the rules. The Gold-Rank Title Strange Beings are the players."
The Great Shaman smiled and said, "In fact, more than a hundred years ago, two Gold-Rank Titled Mysteries were born in our world. But it wasn't until last year that the World of Rules and Mysteries finally arrived, all because of the third Titled Mystery, who was born last year."
"The Gold-Rank titles are strange. What exactly are they?" Yue Qi had wanted to find out the answer to this question for a long time.
The Great Shaman didn't know much about this matter either. "I am but a mortal. Through the ancient covenant in my eyes, I can only sense the will of the gods. The Falling Flower Cave dungeon involved the strange birth of a certain Gold-rank titled figure, which is why I received some extra instructions to lead the Eighteen Villages to maintain a peaceful coexistence with the other side."
"As for the mystique surrounding Gold-Rank titles, they cannot be created simply through human effort and obsession. One must possess the power to seize the very essence of heaven and earth, and the reason for the creation of each Gold-Rank title is almost impossible to replicate. I have also inquired about this matter when communicating with the gods—"
The great shaman paused for a moment, which made Yue Qi and the other man even more impatient, before continuing.
"The deity once said that the one born in the sacred cave is ultimately related to the cave god, a fact that the deity almost tacitly acknowledges. Moreover, it seems to have some flaws and is not a significant threat. As for the remaining two gold-rank titles, they are strange. One of them turned from good to evil and is considered the most powerful of the three. As for the last one, the deity only uttered a vague statement and did not mention anything else."
"Vague and ethereal words? What does that mean?"
The shaman shook his head. "I'd like to know too, but it's none of the safety of the Eighteen Villages right now, so I didn't get an explanation from the gods. But I still remember that saying—'From where we came, to where we go.'"
"Coming from where we came, going out where we're going?" Yue Qi repeated. Wasn't this a common Buddhist proverb? Only Buddhists could clearly explain such cryptic words.
He hadn't forgotten that the Eight Heavenly Dragons and Yakshas King, who guarded the Nine Netherworlds, was a Buddhist deity.
Although there was no other explanation, the fact that the high shaman was able to tell them this secret was already a great help to him.
After all, in the year since this damned world of supernatural rules descended upon us, countless innocent people have died within it. In terms of the heinousness of their sins, no one can compare.
Yue Qi wasn't stupid; through the Great Shaman's words, he could vaguely glean a glimmer of hope. The Great Shaman wouldn't have revealed this secret without the permission of the Eight Heavenly Dragons and Yaksha King.
After thinking it over, he decided to test the waters.
"Great Shaman, have the gods told you how to dispel the strange and supernatural world of rules?"
The high shaman smiled knowingly; he enjoyed dealing with intelligent people. So, he didn't hold back any longer and shared his knowledge.
"The gods say that man can conquer nature. Sever its foundation, and a way out will surely appear."
Yue Qi clasped his hands together and performed a standard Buddhist salute with great reverence.
"May Buddha have mercy, and we thank the gods for their guidance. Rest assured, as soon as we find the Asura Netherworld Token, we will present it to them immediately."
The great shaman stroked his chin, smiling without saying a word.
After leaving the high shaman, Yan Che impatiently grabbed Yue Qi, wanting him to give an explanation.
"What exactly were you talking about with the Great Shaman just now, in a very ambiguous way?" He couldn't understand a word of it.
"It's very simple. I promised the Great Witch that I would find the Asura Netherworld Token for him—" Yue Qi said calmly, but his feet moved very quickly.
Yan Che was almost thrown off his feet; something just didn't feel right.
"Impossible! What about the secrets of that world of strange and unusual rules? Why aren't you talking about them?"
Yue Qi walked into his room without looking back, leaving him with only one sentence.
"Don't ask me, I don't know either."
During lunch that day, Yue Qi kept pulling Sun Ning aside, and the two talked about something. After everyone finished eating, he announced that the six of them would return to Cangyun Mountain again within the next two days.
"no!"
"I disagree!"
The two who shouted the loudest were Yan Che and Guo Hu. However, after Yue Qi recounted the strange events surrounding the Gold Rank title, the two had no choice but to agree, no matter how unwilling they were.
On the contrary, Wen Jiajia, who is usually only interested in personal gain and is also afraid of death, actually started preparing things very actively. Even Su Su, influenced by her, unconsciously joined in the busy work.
However, if we go in this time, it's almost certainly a matter of life and death.
Since Yue Qi was carrying the Buddhist sacred treasure—the Nine Refined Jade Cloud Tower—a mere barrier posed no immediate threat to them.
The next day, Yue Qi visited the Great Shaman again alone. Upon returning, he immediately decided that there was no time to lose, and they would return to Cangyun Mountain that very day.
