"Hehe, you've prepared quite thoroughly." Si Zang didn't hesitate much and readily signed his number.
"Nightmare Space Initial Cooperation Agreement in effect. Team members: Number, Number."
As the prompt flashed past his eyes, Lin Feng put away the second contract that had appeared in his hand and placed it into his spatial ring.
"You really don't intend to join my sect?" Si Zang asked weakly at the end, and seeing that Lin Feng had no reaction, he withdrew his gaze without any embarrassment.
What a pity...
Si Zang sighed inwardly. Just as the contract was being signed, a hint of a change in destiny flashed through his spiritual sense. If Lin Feng joined the sect, this feeling might be clearly revealed in the divination.
Back then, my senior brother traveled around for years and finally found his own path. He finally met such a person, so he couldn't be impatient and take the wrong path.
"Do you know about the world of Silk Quest?" Lin Feng asked.
"Master... Oh, I know, I know!" Si Zang almost blurted out what was on his mind, but immediately straightened up and raised his eyebrows: "I've looked into those two threads on your body."
Lin Feng nodded and continued, "In this world, I encountered three sorcerers from Southeast Asia. They kept the mother and child ghosts from the original story in an unfinished building, and they also turned a... fierce supporting character into a vengeful ghost."
"By the time they were found, the ghost realm was already half-finished..."
"To help the mother and child ghosts break free from control, I threw a piece of the Soul-Devouring Blood Jade that I had seized to them." Lin Feng pointed to the red eerie silk on his chest: "Now it seems to have become an aid to them."
"Southeast Asia, sorcerers, blood jade..." Si Zang took a deep breath, his brows twitching slightly on his calm face. "So it's this group of people. Cough cough, whatever, let's talk about this in detail... How much do you know about the mysterious cultures of various places?"
"It's all hearsay, without any real understanding." Lin Feng couldn't help but feel suspicious when Si Zang suddenly brought up other things.
Sizang continued, "You must have already considered the impact that the participants' appearance will have on this world, right?"
"Hmm." Lin Feng nodded, but he had never thought about it in depth before. Based on his previous understanding of the world, he had only seen interesting stories in books and scenes in the news.
However, according to what Shizang is saying now, there seems to be something different.
"Hehe, let's look at it from a different angle. Have you ever thought that the mission world we experience is actually a manifestation of the human heart, or more precisely, a manifestation of the human values of various regions, and the most significant example of human potential?"
As Si Zang finished speaking in a serious and methodical manner, Lin Fengmo felt a sense of unease, but when he thought of the guy's seven doctoral degrees, he immediately accepted this extremely formal way of speaking.
"When someone appears who worships ghosts and monsters and treats what we consider evil magic as a legitimate means, are you able to empathize with them?"
“Mysticism is prevalent in Southeast Asia. Large-scale mass demonstrations have occurred, with people calling for blood donations to be sprinkled in front of government residences and asking people to perform rituals and curses to express their dissatisfaction.”
"Cannibalistic monks and human sacrifices still exist in other regions."
"If this power, supported by the Nightmare Space, were to have a real effect and impact, what kind of things do you think would happen?"
"It's like an ordinary person suddenly discovering that the darkness in their heart is far more real than reality itself."
"This is the first dividing line that Nightmare Space carves in the minds of its participants: culture!"
"Religious culture, political overtones, historical differences, environmental factors... no one can deny their own culture, especially when their legends, their stories, the gods they've believed in since childhood become reality, and when a nightmare space of equality for all beings comes true, a place without distinctions of rank..."
"The human heart will begin to stir up trouble!"
“A participant living in an environment that is culturally barren, lacks spiritual nourishment, and is filled with darkness will plunder everything that is beneficial, and at the same time gather similar participants.”
Si Zang took a deep breath and stopped his performance: "You've been to the entertainment area, haven't you? Although Nightmare Space describes it as an entertainment area, it's actually a humanistic kingdom built by the participants using their personal spaces."
"The war began here!"
"It is a war among the participants, but even more so, a war that reflects the human heart and culture of these extraordinary forces!"
The voice of the Four Treasuries was like a deity shaking the heavens and earth, or the sound of a bell ringing out of nowhere.
Aren't these extraordinary powers all things that people yearn for? Lin Feng, too, has longed for demonic power.
"War is never simple, and the methods of plunder are not just fighting and killing. They crave participants who have grown up under the influence of different cultures. This fresh blood will bring new changes to the Nightmare Space and will cause new changes in their power."
"Of course, it will also allow their influence to take root, grow, and transform the world in someone else's land!"
Si Zang suddenly chuckled: "This is not necessarily a bad thing. With reality and the nightmare space separated, different ideas will always spark new ideas and give birth to geniuses after they collide. However, not all people are good. They will not only fail to turn to good, but will also be evil to the core."
"At first, those sorcerers only knew how to use yin and poisonous objects to cast spells. Later, they learned about extremely yin fate, then they learned about yin years, yin months, and yin hours. Later still, they came to know about yin vein feng shui and yin poison treasures."
"I'm not afraid of their bad behavior, nor am I afraid of them learning from us. What I'm afraid of is that even if they learn it, they won't be able to keep up with us. But what disgusts me the most is theft. The original works of our sect's predecessors were stolen by members of the Yin-Yang School..."
As he spoke, Si Zang stood up. Only after he had finished speaking fluently and thoroughly did he put away the futon and stone platform and leisurely utter: "The land of China is not a place where they can do whatever they want, so if they want to come in... they must be looking for some desperate criminals."
Si Zang walked towards the car with a somewhat childish air, but he did reveal many things that Lin Feng had not noticed before.
"Come on, today I'll show you something real!" Si Zang opened the car door, patted the roof, and sat in the driver's seat with an arrogant look on his face.
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment before hurriedly sitting in the passenger seat, his mind filled with what the Taoist priest had just said.
Culture, public sentiment, plunder... Upon closer examination, this does make sense. Culture subtly attracts participants, especially when there are entertainment zones. Participants who yearn for extraordinary power will definitely be drawn to these areas, thus creating a certain gathering effect.
If someone who enjoys killing can become a god, then who would bother to cultivate enlightenment?
Those who have just entered the Nightmare Space, before their inner rules collapse, are even more drawn to the culture they anticipate and are familiar with. Mainstream culture, and certain things that are popular online, will inevitably attract people, gain more attention, and lead them to join certain participating organizations.
"Have you thought it through?" Si Zang drove the car, glanced at Lin Feng whose eyes were gradually brightening, and smiled. "Actually, you don't need to worry. When we get there, we'll let them see what true inheritance is all about!"
"You think you're invincible just because you learned some trivial things from the Nightmare Space? The real treasures that have been passed down are the fruits of the labor of great talents throughout the ages."
Lin Feng remained indifferent. He had guessed some of this. The extraordinary power expressed in movies and writings was far inferior to the insights left by the participants themselves. Moreover, with the help of predecessors, things would be much simpler.
“Although we haven’t gotten that deep yet, we still need to be careful. I don’t want to be sold out and end up losing money for them.” After saying that, Si Zang stepped on the gas, and the car shot off for a long distance.
The car sped silently, and the two drove into the deep mountains and forests. They saw the road rounding a mountain pass in the distance and quickly pulled over.
Yanshan.
At the mountain pass, there is a stone tablet that is broken in half. The only remaining part of the tablet has the two characters "Yanshan". Behind the stone tablet is a stone staircase leading into the forest inside the mountain. It goes deep into the forest and disappears from sight.
Si Zang got off the carriage, stood in front of the half-person-high stone tablet, and called out to Lin Feng, "We've arrived."
"From the moment I became a disciple, I watched my master go in and out of these mountains for over a decade, until he bequeathed all his life's knowledge to us. Otherwise, I would never have known about this place..."
"Five Star Fate Array...hehe, whatever, take a look~"
Si Zang pinched his fingers, and the mountain path in front of them immediately changed. Whether they were seeing things or just imagining things, a mountain gate suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Fate is determined in the blink of an eye; success and failure are all determined by human actions."
Before he could take a closer look, two lines of words on the mountain gate caught Lin Feng's eye, as if reflecting all the decisions he had made in the first half of his life.
