The Investiture of the Gods Opens
"I understand, you should go back and rest." Ma Feifei glanced at the sky; it was already quite late, and everyone had had a long day and needed to rest.
"Brother Ma..." Zhou Zhuling looked at Ma Feifei, a worried expression on her face.
Ma Feifei smiled slightly and said, "Alright, don't worry! I'm fine, you should go back now."
"Okay..." Zhou Zhuling bit her lip and turned to leave.
"Ba Jiu!" Ma Feifei suddenly called out towards Ba Jiu's room.
"Crunch"
The door opened, Ba Jiu came out, replying, "Shopkeeper, you were looking for me?"
"Send Zhuling home." Ma Feifei felt that the situation was getting a bit dangerous. Because of the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey, so many people had died in Dubian Town. It was inevitable that people would harbor Grudge towards the Mysterious Bookstore, and might even do something incomprehensible. Ma Feifei had to take precautions and ensure the safety of the people around him.
"Yes!" Ba Jiu nodded in response.
Zhou Zhuling did not refuse, smiled at Ma Feifei to express her gratitude, and then turned and left.
Ma Feifei watched Zhou Zhuling and Ba Jiu's departing figures and slowly fell into deep thought.
After a long while, Ma Feifei sat down again and began searching for the system in his mind.
"System, what should I do now? More than 80,000 people have died." Ma Feifei's tone was somewhat sad. More than 80,000 people was indeed not much in the entire Azure Dragon Continent, but the deaths of these more than 80,000 people were related to Ma Feifei, so in a sense, Ma Feifei was an indirect accomplice.
"Ding! This system requires payment for this problem. Do you want to pay one hundred Spirit Crystal to get a solution?" Ma Feifei originally just wanted to complain to the system, but she didn't expect that the system seemed to be able to provide a solution.
"Yes, yes, yes, please give me a solution quickly." Ma Feifei was overjoyed and urged him hurriedly. If there was a solution, that would be wonderful.
"Ding! A total of 91,520 dead beings have been detected around the Mysterious Bookstore. The host can collect all their souls into the Investiture of the Gods the Gods and grant them new life when the system upgrades to the Level 4 Large Bookstore System." The system replied.
"That's right!" Ma Feifei exclaimed, suddenly realizing.
Although these more than 80,000 people are already dead, if they can be included in the Investiture of the Gods and given a new life with the help of the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods, then it would be a meritorious deed.
This is practically Reversal.
It doesn't matter what form this new life will take; what could be more important than being given a second chance at life?
"Then how am I supposed to include these dead beings in the Investiture of the Gods?" So far, the Investiture of the Gods has only included one Human Butcher, Qin Shuren, who was still alive. There is absolutely no experience in including the dead.
Of course, the most crucial point is that he can't see these dead creatures!
"Ding!" The system then issued another notification: "Include all dead living beings within a hundred-mile radius of the Mysterious Bookstore?"
"Yes!" Ma Feifei said in a deep voice.
"Whoosh"
As soon as Ma Feifei finished speaking, he felt a beam of light shoot out from the spatial ring in his hand. The Investiture of the Gods, which had been kept in the spatial ring, actually ran out of it and flew to the sky directly above Dubian Town in a beam of light.
"Buzz!"
A desolate aura emanated from the Investiture of the Gods, slowly enveloping the entire Dubian Town and even Dubian Town surroundings.
"What's going on?" The sudden powerful aura startled the cultivators who remained in Watanabe. They all got up and left the room, or stopped and looked up at the sky.
"Could it be that the true nature of that Mysterious Bookstore owner has been revealed, and he intends to slaughter all the cultivators in our Dubian Town?" a cultivator exclaimed in horror.
"I told you long ago, this suddenly appearing Mysterious Bookstore is no good. It must be harboring a huge conspiracy, wanting to gather more cultivators and then wipe us all out!" A cultivator who had always harbored resentment towards the Mysterious Bookstore shouted loudly as he looked at the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods in the sky.
Regardless of what they said, the appearance of the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods above Dubian Town once again instilled fear in them. Some cultivators were so frightened that they ran out of Dubian Town, trying to escape as quickly as possible.
"Buzz"
The Investiture of the Gods of the Gods in the sky was still brewing, and the desolate atmosphere grew heavier and heavier. After reaching a peak, suddenly with a 'whoosh', the Investiture of the Gods opened!
It unfolds slowly like a scroll painting, the scroll blank and empty, yet radiating golden light and exuding a desolate and heavy aura.
"How beautiful!" someone exclaimed, looking up at the slowly unfolding scroll.
But in reality, there was nothing on the scroll.
"Yes! It's so beautiful, I really want to touch it," a female cultivator remarked.
However, the painting in her eyes still contained nothing.
"Call"
Gust has picked up; its origin is unknown, but it is cool, biting, and chilly.
A monk shuddered; the wind had woken him. He looked around and saw that Dubian Town was rather gloomy tonight, with dilapidated eaves and walls, dim lights, and a desolate atmosphere.
The cultivator crossed his arms and looked up at the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods in the sky again, no longer showing the same amazement as before. Even the exclamations of the people around him sounded strange to him.
"Why do I have such a strange feeling?" He shook his head violently and closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that his surroundings seemed to have changed. Many faint white, illusory shadows appeared, their faces either ferocious, expressionless, or sighing with sorrow.
He even recognized some of the people in there!
"No!" he suddenly screamed.
The surrounding cultivators were startled awake. They frowned, looked away, and prepared to search for the troublemaker who had made the noise, but the next moment...
"Oh my god!"
"What's this!"
"Ah!"
Growl rose and fell, slowly spreading throughout the entire Dubian Town. Chaos had broken out, and some of the cultivators, their faces filled with fear, began to flee in all directions.
Some cowards even began to attack these illusory shadows, but all their efforts were in vain; all their attacks passed right through the white, illusory shadows without causing them any harm.
But these Levitate, illusory shadows did not stop; they continued to drift towards the scroll in the sky—one, two, three, five, ten, a hundred, a thousand...
They are like the wind, the rain, the clouds, and the mist, slowly adhering to the scroll.
"Buzz"
Specks of golden light bloomed, and one by one, illusory shadows entered...
