Although the sheepcat seemed a bit off from the start, it didn't generally pose much of a danger, let alone seem to be associated with that rule.
It's fair to say that if this were a legitimate world of ghost stories, this one rule alone would be enough to wipe out most ghost story masters!
"If you hadn't sought out these secrets, you could have remained my master forever," the sheepdog said with a hint of regret. "Now, I can only ask you to die!"
The death energy binding Jiang Ran was tightening, and if it tightened any more, it would suffocate him!
"Well......"
Lin Zhi wanted to use his talent to pull Jiang Ran into the space, but he found that not only was his power sealed, but he also couldn't use his talent at all!
When Jiang Ran killed someone, Lin Zhi was also by his side, and naturally she was inevitably tainted by the death aura. The mountain god, who had been sleeping inside Jiang Ran's body, was also unable to avoid it!
The sheepdog grinned widely.
However, he couldn't laugh out loud the next moment.
This is a miracle from the [Lost]!
Jiang Ran used [Lost] to clear his own death aura, and also cleared the death aura from Lin Zhi's body!
Lin Zhi's body is just that of an ordinary person, unlike a mountain god who can withstand it for a while. Jiang Ran must solve her problem first.
Instantly clearing the death aura from the two, Jiang Ran's spiritual power was almost depleted, but it was alright. Besides the [Miracle] and his talent, he had other powers!
That's his fist!
Jiang Ran flew to the sheepdog and, to the sheepdog's astonishment, knocked it to the ground with a single punch!
He didn't even use the Demon Flame, because he didn't want to expend extra mental energy to activate the Wheel of Fate.
"Impossible! How did you break free from the control of the death aura?!"
The sheepdog rolled on the ground, and before it could get up, Jiang Ran punched it again, sending it sprawling into the ground!
"I'm a little curious, just how much do you know about demons?"
Jiang Ran pinned the sheepdog to the ground, grabbed its neck, and forced it to relinquish control over the death energy, allowing the mountain god to break free of its restraints. Then, Jiang Ran used [Lost] on the dog, depriving it of its ability to remain silent!
As a result, Jiang Ran's mental strength could only barely support his normal actions, and it was impossible for him to use his abilities again.
The mountain god followed the vines and bound the sheepdog, but Jiang Ran released his grip: "Tell me everything you know about demons!"
"A demon..." The sheepdog spat out a mouthful of blood. "What demon is there in this world?"
"You are herding the evil of human nature, not the evil of the devil."
"People originally called goats devils. Do you think the goats were at fault?"
The sheepdog coughed up blood and foam, rolled its eyes, and died without revealing much information.
Jiang then took a step back; the energy required to clear away the death energy was so great that he was somewhat dazed.
From a certain perspective, mental energy is just like physical energy; excessive depletion of mental energy can affect normal actions.
"There's still some time before the afternoon election. Let me find a place to rest, so I don't have to waste your precious time."
With the election imminent, Jiang Ran only needed to maintain his composure to secure the position of city lord. He reviewed all the rules and confirmed that there were no major loopholes, so there was no need for him to actively seek trouble.
With the sheepcat gone, Jiang Ran couldn't gather the entire flock back to the shepherd's hut by himself, so he had to finish the instance before nightfall, or he would be breaking the rules!
"The City Lord's secrets..."
Jiang Ran opened her eyes and sat up in bed.
"This dungeon is taking an unusually long time."
Moreover, it was extremely dangerous! If Jiang Ran hadn't possessed so many abilities, he might have been caught off guard and drowned!
Then he approached Yu Cheng and, without beating around the bush, said he wanted to add something about the "Creator".
Speaking of which, the [Water Mirror] ability is really useful. After refilling the [Creator], Jiang Ran went to find Arceus again.
"Didn't you clear this dungeon by last night?"
Jiang Ran helplessly shrugged: "There's a time limit, so I can't go fast even if I want to. But it's good to have plenty of time. It's better to be steady than to crash."
Upon hearing the news of the overturned ship, Arceus couldn't help but smile, as if he were recalling a certain unlucky god who had been caught off guard and killed.
Arceus crossed his arms and leaned against the wall: "What are you planning to do next? I mean after you cross the Dream Sea."
“Haven’t you noticed? Ever since we arrived on Blue Star, we’ve been acting passively.” Arceus’s smile faded. “From Tian Guang Town at the very beginning, to you being pulled into the Dream Sea, it’s as if our route had been preordained. I don’t like this feeling.”
Jiang Ran remained silent.
Indeed, Arceus's words cannot be ignored. Tianguang Town is a dungeon created by the "Director," and the Dream Sea is a divinely inspired world of the "Lover's" divinity. The "Director" is undoubtedly the enemy, but what was the purpose of the owner of this "Lover" in bringing Jiang Ran into it?
Admittedly, once Jiang Ran clears the Dream Sea, he can obtain the divinity of [Lover], but if he dies in it, the situation will be completely reversed!
What do these "gods" want to do?
Do they want to create gods?
Since the appearance of God seemed unstoppable across the span of time, they created another God!
The director's desire for Song Yang to steal Jiang Ran's fate is essentially an attempt to create another "Wheel of Fate".
The same applies to the Dream Sea. Whether Jiang Ran succeeds or dies, it is essentially a process of collecting divinity, only the holder has changed.
Why did they have to create a god?
Because the appearance of God is inevitable? No, no, no, that's definitely not the only reason!
If that's all there is to it, why don't they just wash their hands of it instead of doing it themselves and even getting involved in the process?
A god can also use another god to do something...
"Jiang Ran," Arceus spoke, "Do you want to eliminate another world besides Earth?"
"You mean a bizarre world?"
Arceus had previously told Jiang Ran that he wanted to go back to the strange world.
“No,” Arceus shook his head. “I’m talking about Earth.”
Earth......
It's a distant word, yet it doesn't seem so distant.
Jiang Ran, Arceus, and Yang Kaixu are all transmigrators from Earth, and they are also all fallen gods!
What does Earth truly represent, and how does it appear in the eyes of the gods?
How could the divine disintegration of the Wheel of Fortune be half on Earth and half on Blue Star?
"These gods have definitely been to Earth!"
"Because all the ghost stories are fantasy worlds based on Earth!"
Have you ever thought about whether we can ever return to Earth?
