Above the gray fog

"The supernatural has recovered, come with me to see my aunt again." Lin Shan forced himself not to explore the truth of the world, and suppressed his voice.

"...Okay." After a while, Shouya replied.

Lin Shan stood up and walked to the lake.

In the doubtful eyes of passers-by, he held his hand at the several-kilometer-long lake from a distance.

In the shocked eyes of passers-by.

The water in the lake turned into a huge bubble and slowly floated up.

When it rose to hundreds of meters in the air.

Lin Shan let go of his hand.

Losing the support of spirituality, the huge bubble suddenly fell.

It fell into the dry lake pit, raising dozens of meters of water and dispersing the crowd of onlookers.

He just wanted to test whether the spirituality in his body was really restored.

The spirituality was sufficient.

Moreover, the consumed spirituality could not be restored due to the restrictions of this world.

What does this prove.

This proves that the ritual space is spiritual.

His soul was in a spiritual saturation state there. If the ritual space was also a world without spirits, the spirit in his body would not be in such a saturated state now.

The reason why he could not feel the spirit, or even the mental power, was because he was affected by the rules. If he wanted to perform the ritual, he had to be an ordinary person.

In fact, the spirit has always been there. It is not the world's problem, but his problem.

Then again, if the world where the ritual space is located is spiritual, can he become extraordinary again?

If he cannot unlock his own spiritual seal, can he draw spirituality from the outside world?

He can try it next time he transfers his soul. If he can become extraordinary again, it will be of great help to perform the ritual.

He couldn't even walk normally in the ritual space. It was really a long way to go to complete the unknown ritual.

Thinking in his heart, he had come to the top of the statue of the secular god.

This time he appeared directly on the statue's abdomen.

The white flame wrapped his fist and punched the position of the secular god's belly button.

"Crack, crack..."

The crack spread and recovered rapidly.

One punch, two punches, three punches.

Each punch condensed a strong spirituality.

When the spirituality was consumed by half.

A hole appeared at the navel of the statue, revealing the gray space inside.

Lin Shan teleported in, and the hole behind him was quickly filled.

‘Divination’

Without any hesitation, Lin Shan started divination and pointed to the location of the palace.

Then it turned into a beam of dim light and flew towards the depths of the statue.

Not long after, the familiar palace came into view.

The rattle had not recovered yet, and this time Lin Shan planned to use violent means.

He snapped his fingers lightly.

The remaining spirituality in the body was consumed.

A ten-kilometer-long dim river emerged.

With a light press of both hands, the river rushed in, eroding the palace below, leaving only the core courtyard intact.

Lin Shan walked down from the void, pushed open the gate of the courtyard, and stepped into the familiar small room.

The world was spinning and the pain of the body was accompanied. This time, he still had some spirituality. The body was not as fragile as last time, and there was no bleeding.

The dizziness disappeared, and in the blur, the constantly changing figures of a man and a woman appeared in front of Lin Shan.

The two looked at each other and were speechless.

Finally, it was Aunt Ou who spoke first and asked, "Why did you come down from above again?"

"Something happened, I fell out." Lin Shan replied.

"How did you fall out?" Aunt Ou wanted to continue asking. The door to go out was clearly in her hands. How could she fall out?

Could it be... there was a hole in this hell?

If this was the case, it must be repaired as soon as possible. Lin Shan came down from above again, and walked through the ritual passage set up by the Jiuqu tribe. There were many evil spirits here. If they "fell" out like Lin Shan, it would cause a devastating blow to ordinary people in the mustard seed space.

Lin Shan shook his head, "Don't worry, my situation is special, other souls can't imitate it, I came to you to find out how to get out of the mustard seed space."

"That's good." Aunt Ou breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "If you want to get out, it's very simple, just carve this ritual near the statue of the secular god."

Aunt Ou wrote and drew in the void, and a not-so-complex ritual emerged in the void.

Lin Shan quickly imprinted it in his mind.

"Thank you, can you take me up?"

"Wait a minute, it's not easy for you to get here, I have something to give you, I hope you can take good care of Jiuqu for me." Aunt Ou took out a ring.

Lin Shan thought about it, and still took it. He didn't immediately probe into his mental power to check, but replied, "I will take good care of Jiuqu, but I have a doubt, I hope you can answer it."

All this is no different from what the parchment said. Aunt Ou here is a good aunt Ou, and she has no bad intentions. She gave things and parchment fragments just to let him take care of Jiuqu.

Lin Shan couldn't refuse this, and there was no need to refuse.

However, he must determine how much trouble Jiuqu is, which will determine how much time he will spend on Jiuqu in the future.

Auntie Ou was not surprised by Lin Shan's question, and said softly, "You ask."

"What is Jiuqu's identity? Just an ordinary descendant of the Jiuqu clan's God surname? It shouldn't be that simple. There are many God surnames in the Jiuqu clan. Why did Jiuqu, a child, come here?"

Lin Shan asked meaningfully.

The parchment once said that if he was sent to the real hell and could not survive, Jiuqu would inherit the parchment fragment and take on the task of reviving the Jiuqu clan under the power of the parchment fragment. Although this is only one of the back-up plans left by the Jiuqu clan, entrusting the revival of the clan to a child, this child will definitely not be ordinary. Even with the help of the parchment fragment, this is also a dreamlike entrustment.

As for the consciousness of the previous bearer on the parchment fragment, the Jiuqu clan should have discovered it long ago, otherwise it would not have been used by the bad aunt to trick him into hell. Maybe the pirated parchment consciousness will be a real assistant to Jiuqu, not a deception.

"You seem to know something. I can only tell you that Jiuqu's identity is special, surpassing the general god surname, but please believe that she will not bring you trouble if she follows you."

"Why is this person me?" Lin Shan asked.

"Just a fragment, but it has benefited the Jiuqu Clan a lot. As its true master, I believe you will have a long way to go. Jiuqu will not let down its talent if it follows you."

Lin Shan nodded. This answer was reasonable. He continued to ask, "Are you dead?"

The figure who was sometimes male and sometimes female was silent for a moment before saying, "I don't know if the original body is really dead. After the original body split its soul, its mental state has been abnormal. Even if the original body is still alive now, it may have turned into a beast. It would be better to die."

Lin Shan's body trembled. "Will the soul split lead to abnormal mental state?"

"Of course it will. Splitting the soul is still one soul in essence, but the world it feels has changed from one world to two. It will always make people doubt that one of the worlds is fake. But if both worlds are real, the mind will gradually become abnormal. After losing consciousness, it is inevitable to become a beast." Aunt Ou said slowly.

Lin Shan didn't know how he was sent out.

He has been thinking about his own state.

His soul came back through a historical node. Is this also considered splitting the soul?

What if, what he transferred through the historical node was just consciousness... After his consciousness left the body, there was still a soul left in the body.

Is it the soul split that my aunt said?

In fact, the ritual space and the mustard seed space, these two worlds are real, and his current state is just the sequelae of the soul split?

No.

Lin Shan scratched his hair and walked into the glorious hall where people were still eating.

"No! This is too coincidental."

Why did my aunt tell him this at this time?

Is it to... make him believe that the two worlds he experienced are real?

"No!" Lin Shan roared, and his hair was more messy.

Hearing Lin Shan's roar, the people in the hall looked at him in surprise, not knowing what happened. What happened to this diner invited by the king?

The middle-aged man in the golden robe sitting in the main seat was also a little surprised. He walked quickly to Lin Shan's side and asked with concern: "Brother Lin, what's wrong with you?"
