Xu Fan picked up a diary at random, opened it, and the handwriting on the yellowed diary was still clearly visible.
"On November 2nd, we searched the mountains all day without success."
"On December 1st, it was cold, so I stayed in the thatched hut and didn't go out."
"On December 2nd, it snowed and was cold. I stayed in the thatched hut and didn't go out. Ye Ling, you haven't received the immortal's inheritance yet. You can't continue to fall into such depravity."
"On December 5th, the sky was clear, the snow was melting, it was cold, and I stayed in the thatched hut without going out."
Seeing the question in Xu Fan's eyes, the pheasant quickly used its wings to hand over the diary it was reading.
"Ye Ling stayed in Zhongnan Mountain for twenty years. What you read was probably written when he was young. This book is related to that so-called immortal."
Xu Fan reached out and took the diary from the pheasant's hand, then casually flipped through it.
"On August 12th, I heard that deity calling to me again, but I always felt that something was wrong."
"In this world, aren't the only ones who control death Yama, the Emperor of Fengdu, and Hades? When did a god of reincarnation and death named Manstein appear?"
...
"On August 17th, I felt Manstein's call to me once again. I have to say, the power of reincarnation he gave me is really useful. I feel like I'm more than ten years younger."
"The only pity is that this power can only affect the soul and cannot change my aging face."
...
"On September 2nd, praise our Lord, the God of death and rebirth."
"I must say, although my experience of seeing his shadow in the well was not pleasant, my merciful Lord generously forgave his ignorant followers."
...
"On October 2nd, I have fully mastered the power that my Lord has given me. Now I feel stronger than ever before. Hmm, it's time to go out and make some contributions for my Lord."
“I have noticed that there are some disciples in Zhongnan Mountain who have not yet received their inheritance, but they seem to have a lot of vitality for their sect. Perhaps I can try to start with these people.”
...
"October 18th, damn it, these stupid fools, it's one thing to refuse the power my lord has given them, but they even dare to threaten me by saying that if I dare to bewitch them again, I will tell their sect about me."
“If it weren’t for my lord’s grand plan, I would love to crack open these people’s heads on the spot and see how their brains are structured.”
...
"On October 25th, our Lord finally had a second believer. Praise be to our Lord."
Looking at the rest of the diary, most of it was about Ye Ling's missionary work, so there was no point in reading any further. Xu Fan closed the diary.
The pheasant asked eagerly:
Did you find anything inside?
Xu Fan nodded heavily: "I've made some discoveries, but I need to verify them first."
He turned and left the room, finding a well on the other side of the courtyard.
Because no one has used it for many years, the well rim is covered with dust.
Xu Fan cautiously leaned forward, trying to look into the well water.
Strangely enough, although the edges of the well were covered with dust, the well itself was spotless, and the water was so clear that Xu Fan could even see his own reflection.
However, just as the shadow appeared, a layer of wrinkles appeared on the surface of the well water.
Then an aged face appeared before Xu Fan.
"Hello, my child."
Xu Fan's mind jolted instantly. To others, this voice was completely unfamiliar, but to him, who had been tormented by delirium, it was all too recognizable.
Xu Fan's expression immediately changed drastically. He took two steps back and gasped for breath.
The pheasant looked at Xu Fan nervously:
What's wrong with you?
Xu Fan said with a complicated expression, "I have found the so-called god that Ye Ling first came into contact with."
But what should we do now?
Eliminate this god?
Even if these are completely eradicated, it probably won't affect Ye Ling's plan to revive him in the capital.
Moreover... thinking back to how he was tormented by that delirious voice when he only had a handful of parchment, Xu Fan felt a lingering fear.
Now that we're facing this person directly, we might have to use another clone again.
However, after waiting for a long time, Xu Fan did not find anything unusual in his soul.
Perhaps... he wasn't powerful in the well.
With this deduction in mind, Xu Fan slowly walked to the well.
"You've come, my child."
Xu Fan pretended to pat his heart: "Who are you? I was startled when I suddenly saw a figure in the well water."
The figure in the well water sighed: "I am Manstein, the god who holds the reincarnation of death."
Xu Fan pressed on, "Then why were you in the well water?"
A long sigh came from the well water:
"It's a long story. I was seriously injured by my enemy and had no choice but to enter China. But the people in China are really despicable."
"They actually coveted my treasure and took the opportunity to lock me at the bottom of the well."
Xu Fan was wary of Manstein and would only believe half of what he said.
However, the fact that he was able to appear here suggests that the matter of being sealed by the gods of China may actually be true.
"So, what's sealed here is your true form?"
The figure in the well shook its head: "Back then, I was ambushed by my enemies and seriously injured. Only this phantom escaped, and I wanted to find a place in China to be resurrected."
It matches up!
This phantom of a deity really does want to be resurrected!
"Child, would you be willing to make a deal with me?"
Xu Fan asked warily, "What kind of deal do you want to make with me?"
The old man in the well slowly said, "Many years ago, one of my followers left this place. He hasn't returned for so many years, and I'm afraid something might have happened to him. I wonder if you could help me deliver a letter to him?"
"What benefits will I get?"
The illusory figure in the well water slowly said, "I'm afraid this shadow of mine can't exist for much longer. Look, my face can't even be clearly shown anymore."
Xu Fan focused his attention and looked closely. Sure enough, he could only vaguely sense that the illusory face in front of him looked somewhat old, and he could not clearly see his features.
"However, when this phantom of mine escaped from my home, it still carried some of the power of my original body."
"My illusory form is about to dissipate. Since we are destined to meet, how about I give you this power of death and reincarnation?"
It's likely that back then, this phantom figure used this method to recruit Ye Ling as its follower.
