72: Chapter 31: Thigh and Teammates_2
“Although we haven’t encountered a real Ghost House, nor found any signs of ‘ghost house transformation,’ the frequent occurrences of lingering human souls that can transform into ghosts even without being in a place of concentrated yin energy indicate a shift in the balance of Yin and Yang in the world.
This is an unprecedented change in a thousand years…”
This was what people referred to as the “first wave.”
Fortunately, Cen Dongsheng was no longer the sa as before.
Since his rebirth, he had acted according to plan and gained far more than expected—setting that aside, the re fact that he successfully aligned himself with the Philosopher King was enough to provide peace of mind.
Wasn’t that enough?
Cen Dongsheng thought it was.
In the future, An Zhizhen would be one of the most influential individuals in the world.
Although there were indeed others on her level, those people were either difficult to get along with or their beliefs didn’t align with his…
Of course, in his previous life, he would have never missed the opportunity to join under one person’s tutelage because he had no choice.
Moreover, even if he served under soone, as the saying went, “One minister does not serve two masters,” he could only have one choice, or else he’d be a traitor.
It was the sa now.
Although he and Sister Zhi Zhen were not in a superior-subordinate relationship but rather equal partners, he also believed he couldn’t effortlessly balance the relationships between two “Ancestor”-level curse forbidden masters.
This was because “Ancestors” often had intense conflicts of interest and ideological disagreents.
No one liked soone who was indecisive, and the closer the relationship, the less acceptable it was.
He knew this well.
“But usually, I wouldn’t encounter other ‘Ancestors,’ would I?
They each have their own spheres of influence, and I’ll be staying in Tianhai City for so ti, surely I won’t et any…”
Cen Dongsheng thought to himself.
“As long as it’s not at this level, it’s possible.
I know a few individuals who may not have reached the ‘Ancestor’ level but possess the potential to beco special grade curse forbidden masters in the future.
Such people can be recruited, whether as teammates or friends, and it’s good to get to know them in advance…
Thus, if there’s a chance, I should take a tour around the country.”
He felt he was better at handling specific tasks.
Whether it was exploring adventures or exorcising demons and ghosts, he had battle experience and knowledge that could be considered a dinsional reduction attack in this era—Cen Dongsheng intended to summarize this and share it with Sister Zhi Zhen.
Only, at this stage, he still needed teammates.
During the ghost house transformation battle at Xiaokang Building, Cen Dongsheng had already noticed the drawbacks of acting alone.
For example, to find the hidden core, he had to resort to a laborious thod of carpet searching…
If he had a teammate proficient in sensing, he wouldn’t face such difficulties.
Couldn’t possibly have Sister Zhi Zhen accompany him every ti there was an exorcism in a Ghost House, right?
Calling for outside support occasionally wouldn’t bother An Zhizhen, he believed.
However, if she really followed him around for every battle and adventure, even he would consider it a waste.
She was destined to stand above billions and should spend her ti and energy developing her own influence.
Therefore, after finding strong support, Cen Dongsheng felt he still needed to find suitable teammates.
However, his standards had risen a bit now, and he thought his teammates should also be among the future’s strongest, ideally future special grade curse forbidden masters.
Having one top-level cursed prohibition would grant resistance to other special grade cursed prohibitions, even against ‘Ancestors,’ ensuring they wouldn’t be completely helpless—
Though if it ca to a real fight, they’d definitely still be crushed, but at least they wouldn’t be killed instantly without even a chance to struggle.
Because “Ancestors” were beyond the ordinary realm, not adhering to worldly rules, they were, strictly speaking, the strongest in the curse forbidden master hierarchy.
Most importantly, even though the phrase “the more extre a person is, the stronger they are” was popular in the past, mainly because several “Ancestors” fit this description, not every special grade curse forbidden master had to be a lunatic or a fanatic.
It’s said the ideological battles among “Ancestors” were so intense because they were pursuing their own great paths, aiming to glimpse an unprecedented ultimate realm…
That is unknown.
Perhaps after Sister Zhi Zhen truly beca an “Ancestor,” he would have a chance to find out.
“In this way, Sister Zhi Zhen wouldn’t have any objections, right…
Maybe, hopefully?”
Of course, he knew that leaving other people’s opinions aside, the real challenge lay in how to find suitable teammates.
Even with future knowledge, it wasn’t an easy task.
Even eight years later, the association recorded only twenty-five living special grade curse forbidden masters, and finding them among billions of people was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Overseas?
He was even less familiar with that.
Cen Dongsheng was contemplating these things when the lady inside was still hesitating whether to open the door to welco a guest.
“So you’re that Dongsheng.”
The lady looked at him, and besides fear, there was a curiosity reflected in her eyes.
Incidentally, Cen Dongsheng’s forum userna was precisely “Dongsheng”—yes, he was the type to use his real na online.
“Oh, I…”
She still seed hesitant.
“Do you want to solve the problem or not?
If you’re unwilling to let
in, I’ll leave now.”
Cen Dongsheng’s tone was indifferent, not having the patience to help people while enduring their attitudes.
