The others' expressions also became solemn when they heard this. If this were to happen, things would be even more troublesome and terrifying than they had imagined. Although they had not yet fully accepted the existence of the Samsara Path, they could understand the dangers just by thinking about it. Anyone who could cross the Samsara Path and descend upon it must be an extraordinary being. Once such a strange being awakens and regains its strength, it will surely be a catastrophic disaster for mankind. Li Shu took note of their reactions and said comfortingly, "Do you think the Samsara Path is so easy to cross? It's already their limit to be able to survive and come to this world through the Samsara Path. Otherwise, they wouldn't need to sleep." Seeing that they were still worried, Li Shu simply made things clear. "The unearthly beings who have traversed the Path of Reincarnation and arrived here are all the most powerful in the unearthly realm. However, they will pay a price for defying the laws of reincarnation. They will be stripped of all their unearthly traits, becoming pure beings of consciousness before they can descend. Otherwise, they will be trapped and die on the Path of Reincarnation. Pure beings of consciousness are no different from humans. Any differences are the result of the awakening of evil beings. They awaken to disrupt the human world, generate negative energy, and pave the way for the arrival of the unearthly army." At this point, everyone present was shrewd, and after a moment's reflection, they grasped the key point. The powerful official looked at Li Shu, about to say something, when the skinny old man opposite, who had been silent until then, suddenly struck by a thought. He trembled, looking up at Li Shu. "Could the massacre perpetrated by the island nation back then be related to this? Killing so many people must have generated a tremendous amount of negative energy, and even now, the impact is still significant." As the old man spoke, his aura shifted, like a blazing sword, emitting a sharp and terrifying murderous intent. Since this was a parallel world, similar major events had likely occurred. This world had also experienced massacres, far more devastating than those on Earth. But… Meeting the old man's gaze, Li Shu felt a mixture of shock and surprise. It was the same look she'd seen online in her previous life, depicting veterans who had served in the battlefield. Had the old man also served in the battlefield? But his age didn't match. It had been nearly eighty years since the end of the Anti-Japanese War. The old man looked to be in his early sixties, which didn't make sense. Li Shu looked at the old man, about to take a closer look at his features, but as if anticipating her thoughts, he spoke first. "Little girl, don't be fooled by the fact that I look only in my early sixties. I'm actually 118 years old. My appearance hasn't changed since the year I accidentally became a ghostmaster. That was over 50 years ago." As the old man spoke, he sighed softly, his thoughts resonating with him. The next second, he straightened his back and looked at Li Shu, demanding an answer. At one hundred and eighteen years old, it's entirely possible he'd fought in the War of Resistance, perhaps even the entire war itself. Li Shu examined the old man curiously. A Master of Control for over fifty years, not only was he still energetic, but the strange fluctuations within him were the lightest of those present. Otherwise, he wouldn't have survived until now, given the backlash. Even if he had, he wouldn't have looked like an ordinary person. Even someone as mysterious as Old Qin had a hint of decay about him. That was the price of the strange erosion. And that odor would only grow stronger until it reached a critical point. Old Qin would either have to seal himself with drastic measures to suppress the strangeness within him, or be consumed and replaced by the strangeness. Given the current situation, it was unlikely Old Qin would have a good end. Unless he stopped using his strange powers and continued to hide in the shadows. But Old Qin had already come forward, clearly giving up on the path of survival.
