The girl died.
She died in terror, having frightened herself to death.
The ghosts that discovered her hadn't even had the chance to touch her. Or more accurately, those ghosts didn't intend to touch her at all. Tan Shuchang saw that after these fierce ghosts discovered the girl, they chased her, but it seed more like clocking in for work; they chased her for a while before they stopped.
Then, those ghosts gathered together, emitting bursts of obscure and unfathomable sounds.
This was the language of ghosts.
Tan Shuchang didn't understand it, after all, he had never died.
From this, it could be seen that ghost language was not a serious language. After all, who would need to die to learn a legitimate language?
Stay tuned for updates on empire
But fortunately, while language could not facilitate communication, so things were universally understood.
On a dish that resembled a lottery wheel, the ghosts each placed their bets. After confirming that the girl had scared herself to death, a few of the ghosts rejoiced and divided the other bets among themselves.
Without surprises, this was a betting plate on thods of death.
And these few ghosts had bet on the girl scaring herself to death.
At this ti, the ghosts who finished one round of betting showed no intention of leaving. They gathered around the girl's body, produced another betting plate, and began placing their bets once again.
Tan Shuchang observed carefully and noticed that this betting plate was clearly different from the previous one.
"Could it be they are betting on the ti the girl becos a ghost?" Tan Shuchang pondered.
Then, he realized he was only half right.
The ghosts guarding the girl's body were indeed betting on the ti, but not on when the girl would beco a ghost; rather, they were betting on the ti of the girl's resurrection.
When the girl was about to rise again, the ghosts scattered, leaving only the betting plate and the bets, as if they were fixed in place, immobile.
Therefore, after the girl ca back to life, she didn't notice anything wrong with herself.
"Ghost... there's a ghost!"
The girl recovered and also rembered what she had previously seen, imdiately plunging back into a state of extre terror.
But the girl didn't fall into a loop of dying, resurrecting, and dying again.
Because by the ti of sunrise, the girl had also transford into a fierce ghost.
The appearance of the fierce ghost resembled the girl, but it was as though several instances of her were overlaid. When she stepped out, the light in the region distorted along with her.
A dark, dull atmosphere spread out from her, reaching out into the surroundings.
Any area covered by this dark aura was influenced by the ghost, beginning to synchronize with the ghost's emotions.
Even other fierce ghosts were not exempt.
And once other ghosts affected by these emotions synchronized with the girl turned ghost, they instantly beca nourishnt for her.
Thus, a Yin God was born.
The birth of this Yin God was swift; the advancent and promotion were completed within just a quarter of an hour.
Then, as a wave of ghost language ca from sowhere unknown, the Yin God slowly returned to her dwelling—a sowhat old two-story bamboo and wood loft with a tiled roof covered in patches of moss and wild grass, swaying with the wind.
Near the loft stood a low wall, half-collapsed and revealing a sowhat chaotic scene inside—an old millstone without a donkey, a dry well that had been unused for so ti, an old wooden barrel with a hole in it, so firewood with no place to stack, and a crookedly placed kerosene lamp atop the woodpile.
After the Yin God entered, everything fell into silence, and the ghosts in the vicinity all detoured around, as if sothing extrely ferocious resided there.
Tan Shuchang hid himself in a spot, watching the scene through the perspective of his Blood Shadow Incarnation, a wild speculation forming in his heart.
"If this is not another city in the Land of Yin and Darkness, then this place could very well be where the Ghost Heavenly Way was born."
Afterward, Tan Shuchang began to let this Blood Shadow Incarnation dissolve.
This was to be on the safe side.
Tan Shuchang wasn't sure whether his Blood Shadow Incarnation's presence in this place would be detected by sothing.
The dissolution of the Blood Shadow Incarnation didn't cause any trouble, and even the painting that borrowed the thod of the Ghost Heavenly Way from Chushi dissipated along with it.
...
In the bizarre ga world of the Snake Desire Realm, Tan Shuchang withdrew his gaze and shared his discoveries with Lord Dimie and Lord Jianhei. Not only the "man and ghost sharing one body" phenonon but also the bestowed thod of Chushi's Ghost Heavenly Way.
After listening, Lord Jianhei asked Tan Shuchang, "Lang Shou King, if you have nothing else to do, you should go back first! Otherwise, you might be delayed here for a while longer."
Hearing this, Tan Shuchang understood that this was likely the bizarre ga hinting at another escape.
So he bowed with clasped hands and left directly.
Back in the Jiawu Realm, it didn't take long for Tan Shuchang to discover that he could no longer communicate with the law of greed to return to the bizarre ga world like before.
However, his connection to the law of greed persisted, though it felt as if sothing was now standing in between compared to before.
"It seems I didn't guess wrong, it's either the Land of Yin and Darkness, or a world where the Ghost Heavenly Way has been born..." Tan Shuchang couldn't help but shake his head slightly, but he felt calm inside.
