Chapter 387: Chapter 90: A Little Primordial Spirit Shock (Vote for Monthly Ticket)

[Before Xu Shu, an entirely unexpected scene unfolded.]

[After Nie Qiba self-immolated, this space and the ruins should have become thoroughly connected, yet that didn’t happen.]

[And you, breaching the contract, intended to leave Wuxin behind, should have been cursed by the contract, but even that didn’t happen.]

["The contract mainly stipulated two things: one was that I must take her out, the other that no harm should come to the contract’s subject, or else a curse would be upon me. Now...]

"Damn, I get it! This bitch, she did that on purpose, feigning fearlessness about my reneging, deliberately deceiving me, lowering my guard, making me think the contract was in effect when in fact it’s fake, with no binding force at all! She planned to take me down after getting out of here. What a poisonous heart!"]

[After a brief stupor, you figured out the reason.]

[Master Wuxin, who had always been confident in her victory, this time also showed a puzzled look, murmuring to herself: "Strange, it shouldn’t be like this... Why hasn’t the passage opened... I clearly saw the future from the master’s revelation, surely, it was supposed to open... Could it be, we’re missing the step that represents the power of desire? Maybe the ritual needs to start with sexual intercourse first? Has Tailed Ksitigarbha come to an agreement with Slaanesh? This, this is very possible... But then again, there were two languages; whether or not the Slaanesh ritual was performed, it should have been possible to complete..."]

Watching Wuxin’s "inner monologue" unfold, Xu Shu’s expression couldn’t help but falter.

What is she talking about? She said she saw the future, had to perform a "naughty ritual", and then opened the channel?

Ah, this...

Why does this description give me a feeling of déjà vu?

After thinking for a moment, Xu Shu understood where that feeling of familiarity came from.

Isn’t this exactly the damn thing I did myself the first time I entered this (19,19) on my adventure?

Granted, that was actually yesterday, and of course, Xu Shu remembered it very clearly. Then he first encountered Nie Qiba who was tight-lipped, unwilling to divulge anything, and lacking a "truth serum", he was forced to resort to using a "truth chicken" as a substitute, prying Nie Qiba’s mouth open forcibly.

During that adventure, he had acquired an item named [Heroic Hero], meant as a light-hearted jest.

And after that, he didn’t continue his quest but instead took part in a "second legendary draw," initially getting involved in the Divine-level war between "Death God" and "Ksitigarbha"—very initially, just becoming aware that they intended to fight.

Let’s set that aside for now.

But the point is, from Wuxin’s inner monologue "from naughty to Nie Qiba’s self-immolation to opening the ruins’ portal," there is no need to use the relatively conservative words like "I suspect."

Why beat around the bush?

Just read out my ID card, why don’t you.

Xu Shu could definitively affirm that the scenes described in Wuxin’s so-called "master’s prophecy" were about himself!

Combined with the fact that he encountered a grave of the Tang Family that he had buried himself during [the second adventure to subdue Tailed Ksitigarbha].

"If I’m guessing right..."

After some contemplation, Xu Shu confidently controlled "himself" within the adventure, quickly moved to a corner behind the main hall, opened a door, and looked.

Whoosh!

There was a whole ring of holes about as thick as fingers on the ground, perfectly squared.

Xu Shu counted and found that the number exactly matched what he had left behind: 8 holes, forming an octagon.

The holes were empty, but nearby on the ground lay a piece of broken wood that had been discarded because it was snapped, on it was scrawled the words "If you don’t say where the boundary of your territory is, your entire family dies!", clearly, it was a template.

From its size and the size of the holes in the ground, it was clear that previously there were eight such wooden boards circling around with that phrase written on them. All cursing someone’s entire family to death, but now gone without a trace.

But this was enough!

Seeing this mark left behind by himself during [the third adventure to subdue Tailed Ksitigarbha], his suspicion was confirmed, and Xu Shu couldn’t help but appear enlightened, and burst out laughing to the sky:

"Hahaha, I get it, now I understand!"]

"It’s all fake, everything is fake!"

"The space we entered from the ancient temple, and the one I directly accessed by crossing ’the ruts’ from outside, are not the same! This world here is fake, not the real world!"

"If what I entered before was the domain space of Tailed Ksitigarbha, then this place now is but a projection of Tailed Ksitigarbha’s true domain! It could be called an [Illusion] or [Domain Space]."

"This is exactly why my discarded files from my adventures are appearing here! Because this place is a false world!"

"Wuxin said this was a Reincarnation Space that infinitely loops, existing in a rift between a relic and reality, akin to an illusion, exactly so, this place is indeed not the real world."

"Now that I think of it, the entrance to this so-called [Illusion] is probably the roofs and foundations of the two temples."

"The entire portion of the ancient temple buried underground is the essence of this illusionary realm."

"My previous adventure led me into the real world, into the territory of Tailed Ksitigarbha, where I interacted and left an impression, making myself known to Him, leaving behind traces and effects that have now manifested here!"

"So, there are the graves I left, the tombstones I erected, and even Wuxin mistook the images of me opening the entrance to the ruins as a revelation from her god! Haha, a load of crap, that’s me loving it up!"
