When Senlei woke up again, it was already evening.
Senlei placed his hand over his eyes and slowly sat up on the bed. His clothes were intact, but the pain from the illusion was still vivid in his mind.
He suddenly had more memories, but recalling them now still caused a splitting headache.
As I sat up, I noticed the black giant ruler lying quietly beside Senlei. I felt a bit surprised and casually placed the black ruler on my thigh, gently stroking it.
There were many more patterns on the black ruler than before, and it seemed to resemble a ghostly face.
When Senlei looked closely, he was shocked.
"This is... this is the Destroyer Ghost God, Kazan of the Blade Soul!"
Senlei was stunned; this seemed to be a character from the game plot he knew!
In that storyline, the blood hand of the Emperor Blood Slayer was obtained through Kazan!
Besides playing games, Senlei had another great hobby: reading game plots!
He didn't understand why the characters from the game plot had been brought into this world; he found it very strange.
In the plot's history,
Kazan was once an imperial general, who, due to the emperor's ignorance and the treachery of his subordinates, was falsely accused of treason and had his family exterminated!
He did not accept the plans of Ozma and Death God Dreyfus and was exiled to a small mountain range after his tendons were cut. His close friend transformed into the Chaos Ghost God, making him the Destroyer Ghost God Kazan, and upon his awakening, his country experienced unprecedented disaster, the Kazan Plague!
Countless people died in that plague, and the immense blood and resentment were absorbed by Kazan, marking all his successors with a blood hand.
Later, summoned by the "Ten Thousand Ghost Priests" and reaching an agreement, Kazan opposed the other seven ghost gods!
This was the origin of the profession dedicated to summoning ghost gods, the "Ghost Cryer!"
Looking at the pattern, Senlei seemed to hear Kazan's voice echoing in his ears, "He wants revenge! Revenge against this unjust world!"
Senlei shivered and muttered to himself, "I now possess the power of the blood demon and the power of the ghost god? What kind of profession do I belong to now?"
Will more situations that he doesn't understand arise in the future?
The Emperor Blood Slayer mentioned that blood combustion requires integrating some illusions filled with evil and resentment; could it be these ghost gods?
What Senlei didn't know was that
each successor of the blood demon power faced different illusions, and the objects they needed to integrate also varied.
What he integrated was something even the Emperor Blood Slayer found terrifying.
It was a spirit he had never seen before.
Senlei looked at his blood-stained hand, and this time he gripped the sword hilt with his left hand. The ferocious pattern on the black ruler heated up as if it could devour enemies at any moment.
This time, Senlei dared not underestimate this pitch-black giant ruler.
"I'll give you a name," Senlei said, holding the black ruler.
"Let's call you, Mo Zhu!" Senlei suddenly thought of the earliest game equipment.
Mo Zhu, paired with the Kazan totem, glowed faintly yellow, as if in agreement.
Senlei examined his body with delight and said, "I think I've completed the first stage of blood combustion!"
He felt his whole body brimming with power, his heart's strong contraction strengthening his blood energy several times over. Although he was still at the ninth level of the spiritual body realm, he was close to breaking through the bottleneck and entering the spiritual sea realm!
He needed to go out and train, to seek opportunities for a breakthrough. The Emperor Blood Slayer had told him that any creature's blood energy could be used by him unless their body contained no blood!
Senlei dressed simply, intending to visit the Spirit Beast Ridge, as his father had mentioned. After all, he had been here for so long and had hardly gone out.
The Spirit Beast Ridge did not belong to any empire, covering a vast area. Most cultivators only dared to hunt low-level spirit beasts on the outskirts, not daring to venture deeper because it was said that even the Rad Academy avoided certain beings there!
Typically, during the closed sessions of Rad Academy, students were not allowed to go to Spirit Beast Ridge to hunt beast cores. However, during the enrollment period, the academy permitted students to go out and experience battles, making this trip align well with Senlei's wishes.
He wanted to see how powerful the prodigies in the academy were!
He wanted to see if the person who had taken his spiritual root would show up!
Senlei had always been one to seek revenge, never one to let things go easily.
Many people, especially the national teachers supporting his achievements, had told him,
"Don't seek revenge; you're not his match right now. In the future, you have to inherit the throne. Don't let anything go wrong."
Although Senlei knew this was for his good, he didn't believe it. He wanted to give it a try!
"My things, I want to take back myself! No matter how difficult it is!"
In this world, the one with the biggest fist is right!
The one with the biggest fist makes the rules!
He wanted to become the one who made the rules!
In the study,
Senyan watched as the crown prince was ready, knowing he couldn't dissuade him, so he followed his wishes.
Meng'e kept advising him on being careful, what wild food was safe to eat, which mushrooms were poisonous, and so on. No matter where, a mother's love for her child was always so nagging.
Of course, Senlei from Earth was an exception, but it reminded him of his grandmother, who had also nagged him while packing clothes for him when he went to college.
Thinking of his grandmother, Senlei began to shed tears.
This made Meng'e heartbroken, and she quickly hugged her son, softly saying, "He's still a child. Are you reluctant to leave your mother?"
Senlei hugged his mother, smiling through his tears, and said, "A child is always a child in front of their parents."
Senyan laughed beside them and said, "That's true!"
Then he took out a talisman from the drawer of his desk: "This is for your safety. Although I hope you won't need to use it, the world is full of dangerous people. Having it gives us peace of mind."
Senlei took the talisman and saw the word "Thunder" on it.
"This is a Thunder Talisman. It summons the power of thunder. If someone below the Dao Mirror is caught off guard, it will cause severe injury!" Senyan explained.
Hearing this, Senlei, who was shaking the talisman, immediately stopped: "Wow, that's powerful!"
Meng'e also took out a green spirit bead and said, "This is a healing bead that can speed up recovery. Mother doesn't have anything valuable, only these spirit beads to give you."
Holding these two items, Senlei felt bittersweet and knelt down: "Father, Mother, don't worry. I will return safely and be back before the Rad Academy opens."
After saying this, Senlei bowed to his parents once again and turned to leave.
Meng'e and Senyan, leaning against each other, smiled and said, "Lei'er has really grown up."
Watching Senlei's departing figure, Senyan murmured, "Parents can't always be there to support you. You have to rely on yourself. I wonder if the Princess of Feng Kingdom will arrive soon. She might also pass through there... Oh, please, let nothing go wrong."
