I’m a Monster?
Ren Suo tugged at the corner of his mouth and checked out the highly upvoted answers to see how they explained it.
Level 3 Researcher ’Hitomi’: "This is a wonderful hypothesis. If we no longer consider ’Ren Naiser’ a human, and focus on all the videos released by ’Ren Naiser,’ the mysterious filming ability of ’Ren Naiser’ can be explained.
It’s a difficult-to-detect Monster, mostly a fairy or Mountain Spirit, not an immovable Earth Spirit. It has almost natural abilities for hiding and Infiltration, invisible to everyone.
At the sa ti, it’s very likely a Monster that has lived for over two thousand years, which is why it knows the history of the Ren Family Cultivators. As for ’Over My Dead Body,’ that’s simply a mory it carries.
Although we still can’t explain how ’Over My Dead Body’ was made, we can at least explain Ren Naiser’s source of information.
Because the past was truly a ti when the Spirit Vein was often suppressed, no Cultivator should have survived; only non-human entities like Mountain Spirits and Earth Spirits could have.
Therefore, I believe ’Ren Naiser’ is likely a massive organization, with the main source of information being this ancient Monster!
By using ’Over My Dead Body,’ it guides the country to value Mountain Spirits and Earth Spirits, pressing for the enactnt of the ’Spirit Protection Law,’ which is likely one of ’Ren Naiser’s’ objectives."
Ren Suo found this deduction so convincing that he almost believed it himself. This answer also had 699 upvotes, and other answers were similar, suggesting that ’Ren Naiser’ might not be a Monster, but an old Monster could likely be part of it.
Ren Suo closed the thread and found that besides the discussion about ’Ren Naiser,’ there were many other odd discussion threads in the forum, several of which felt familiar to him:
’A Mirror That Fails to Reflect People at Midnight’
’A Knife That Inevitably Cuts Its Owner’s Fingers’
’A Blanket That Can Never Be Lifted’
These seed like Spiritual Objects with magical Attributes...
And only the second one had so lethal potential. The first could scare soone half to death, while the third, if mass-produced, would probably sell out from moms stocking up...
There were also threads discussing Demons and Ghosts. Aside from Demons and Ghosts provided by Ren Suo in gas, so ’modern Demons and Ghosts’ were found elsewhere in Mysterious Country.
For example, ’Jade Maiden at the Crossroads.’ After several consecutive days of traffic accidents at a certain crossroad in the northern city, the Tactical Bureau investigated and found a groove in the road containing a Jade Pendant. Inside the Jade Pendant, a female Ghost was found—she was a university student who died after being hit by a drunk driver. When she was hit, her Jade Pendant fell onto the road, and sohow the Ghost ended up inside the Jade Pendant, influencing all drivers who had consud alcohol at the crossroad, significantly increasing their likelihood of accidents...
There were also ’Overworked Ghost Employee’ and ’Abused Cat Ghost.’ These were modern types of Ghosts that Ren Suo had never seen in ’Over My Dead Body’ — back in the Three Kingdoms Period, people didn’t abuse cats; they caught them, killed them with a clean cut, and just cooked them.
"This world is starting to get restless..." Ren Suo remarked. "But now that the country has announced the existence of Transcendents, at least the public knows the country has strategies and isn’t hiding the truth but is actively responding, providing people a way to gain Supernatural Ability."
Secrecy was a sign of no confidence in one’s strength. Now, Mysterious Country was quite successful with Spiritual Energy Technology—at least in Ren Suo’s view.
With Law Net Instrunts, the Practitioners’ Academy, and ergency training for civil servant cultivators, Mysterious Country had full confidence. It could prove the governnt’s capability to protect civilians in supernatural incidents and could abandon the old drawback of secret searches, instead mobilizing the public to gather more information.
Ren Suo gained firsthand fantastical news about Mysterious Country from an internal forum and casually called ho to tell his family to be careful and not go out traveling, then he fell into a deep sleep.
The last two days he had treated Dong Chengling to two als, even alerting Zhao Huo. "You don’t have to eat together every ti, even if you’re pursuing a girl," Zhao Huo remarked.
"What do you know," Ren Suo said, dismissing him disdainfully. "Eating alone is like eating feed; only when two people eat together does it beco a al."
Zhao Huo touched his earring. "If only my girlfriend were here..."
Ren Suo couldn’t explain that the ultimate goal of inviting people out to als was to be able to ask her out for a late-night snack with a 100% chance one evening — anyone hearing that might suspect the snack was supposed to be on a human trafficking ship.
Dong Chengling was unfazed and ate the ’unexpected food’ very naturally and easily. Ren Suo tentatively asked if she would treat him to a al soti. After a long thought, she split her bun in half and gave half to Ren Suo. Then, after another mont, she gave Ren Suo the other half that she had already taken a bite from...
For the sake of scientific observation and acquiring a Key, all this was worth it, Ren Suo could only console himself with this thought.
Thus the day passed uneventfully, and after a natural progression of 24 hours, the ga quietly activated the Flourishing Sakura Spirit Treasury!
"You have activated the Flourishing Sakura Spirit Treasury."
"Flourishing Sakura Spirit Vein Level 1."
"The world’s Spiritual Energy has slightly increased."
"Due to the activation of the Spirit Treasuries in Mysterious Country, Britain, and Flourishing Sakura Country, nine other Spirit Treasuries on Earth will also automatically activate within thirty days."
"You have gained 5 Evolution Counts."
"You have received one Trump Card Evolution!"
In the screen, the Tokyo Sky Tree, where the Nine-Tailed Fox was located, shrank into a painting and rged into a card back with a red border and white back.
"You have received the Scarlet White Ace: Skeleton Warrior."
Ren Suo imdiately had the Nine-Tailed Fox create a halo for the Little Blue Cat and then activated "Knight’s Wind," leaving the Sky Tree silently and without a trace with the Little Blue Cat.
At this ti, the Sky Tree had turned into a pillar of light, transitioning from white to red. Even during the day, it still emitted visible red and white rays. The countless civilians watching outside the Sky Tree were nearly screaming excitedly in the streets.
Although the people outside the Sky Tree saw a glow radiating from the Little Blue Cat, they still didn’t dare to enter and find out for fear of interrupting the igniting ceremony. Their instrunts were BEEPING erratically, and it was unclear what they were Scouting.
The Nine-Tailed Fox took the Little Blue Cat to Narita Airport in a hurry, catching a plane back to Mysterious Country. At this point, Ren Suo discovered that the fast-forward function of the ga had finally been restored; the four-hour flight the Nine-Tailed Fox was on could now be skipped directly.
It seed that after the activation of the Flourishing Sakura Spirit Treasury, the ga had finally loaded this route’s plot branch completely.
First, he quietly left the Little Blue Cat at Huo Liang’s ho. After leaving a note that read, ’Pangolin wants you to take care of its little brother Blue Cat,’ the Nine-Tailed Fox stealthily departed.
The World’s Strongest had gained another 2,000 in strength due to the opening of the Flourishing Sakura Spirit Treasury, now totaling 67,950.
The combat power of the Nine-Tailed Fox was also very high, reaching 7,700 points, but she primarily followed a Charm path, so her Combat Power was naturally not that high.
Now, if Ren Suo let the Nine-Tailed Fox activate "Immortal Legacy" and choose an evolution route focused on combat, could her Combat Power surpass that of the World’s Strongest?
However, there were still at least 18 days until all the Spirit Treasuries opened, so Ren Suo could wait.
With the Crimson Ace Card, he could completely switch to a combat evolution system at the last minute. For now, using the Illusion and Charm System, which allowed free passage in human society, was the most appropriate.
Now, the speed of the World’s Strongest’s strength increase was already lower than the evolution speed of Devouring the Spirit of the World. If Devouring the Spirit of the World opened a few more Spirit Treasuries, it should be able to steadily surpass the World’s Strongest in combat power!
Moreover, cooperating with the officials was truly much more efficient than acting as a Lone Wolf. The Flourishing Sakura Spirit Treasury and artifacts had given Devouring the Spirit of the World a total of 19 evolution chances!
At this rate, Ren Suo might even enable Devouring the Spirit of the World to undergo the third Super-Evolution!
Of course, the biggest gain in Flourishing Sakura Country was naturally the Scarlet White Ace "Skeleton Warrior"!
"Skeleton Warrior: Passive Evolution, Devouring the Spirit of the World will gain three Abilities of the Skeleton Warrior, a Flourishing Sakura Willpower aggregate—
Once in a Lifeti: The Skeleton Warrior and any enemy it encounters might only et once in a lifeti. The first Attack on any creature will inevitably cause 450% release damage;
Life Hanging by a Thread: The Skeleton Warrior, life as wild grass, body as light as a feather, inexhaustible. Reduces the cooldown ti of all Abilities by 25% (or increases usage count by 25%);
Worldwide Militarization: The Skeleton Warrior still hasn’t lost itself. All Attack Abilities increase damage by 30%."
This Scarlet White Ace Card is purely an attack-support type Ace Card, having no direct effect, but when combined with the Deep Blue Ace, it is unexpectedly powerful.
At that ti, Pangolin sent news that several countries had contacted Mysterious Country, expressing their willingness to trade national treasures for a chance to ignite the Spirit Vein with the Fairy Palace.
The ga then unexpectedly went smoothly thereafter, as Ren Suo had the Nine-Tailed Fox transform into other creatures, and using Mysterious Country’s negotiations, pretended to be an untransford wild beast. With the fa of Fairy Palace, they easily succeeded in opening two more national Spirit Treasuries, obtaining two Ace Cards and incidentally devouring a significant amount of Spiritual Objects and Spiritual Energy.
Ren Suo thought, The difficulty of the ga should have been at the beginning, and there should be nothing else later.
However, this smooth progress ended eight days before all the Spirit Treasuries were opened.
Because, finally, one country decided to court disaster.
