Chapter 161: Another Path To Becoming A God
This process wasn’t long, because supernatural confrontations are always intense, but for Jiang Shan, every second felt like a century had passed.
Jiang Shan enduring this pain wasn’t entirely a bad thing.
The flesh and blood tissue formed by the Blood Ghost had fully integrated into his body, and even the Ghost Lotus he had just stolen and controlled seemed to be assimilated by the Blood Ghost’s supernatural power.
The target of all the ghosts parasitizing inside his body had changed, shifting from Jiang Shan’s body to the Blood Ghost’s body, but for him, there was no difference.
Because the body he controlled before was his, and the body of the Blood Ghost he controlled now was still his!
This was the effect brought by the Blood Ghost’s invasion.
Back then, when Yang Jian tried to become an anomaly by controlling the Ghost Shadow Head in Dachuan City, there was still a drawback: the Ghost Shadow Head hadn’t dead machined, his consciousness couldn’t dominate everything, and he would still be controlled by the fierce ghost.
But Jiang Shan was completely different from Yang Jian,
His consciousness that couldn’t be influenced allowed him to perfectly become a fierce ghost with living human consciousness.
So his continuous use of the Blood Ghost’s supernatural power had already caused it to fully resurrect.
This was an indispensable step in becoming an anomaly.
Fully resurrected ghost,
Supernatural product’s consciousness.
Nine minutes.
This process lasted a full nine minutes.
After nine minutes, Jiang Shan, who had collapsed on the ground twisting and struggling, finally began to calm down gradually.
Jiang Shan wasn’t struggling as violently anymore, and his screams weren’t as miserable as before.
Everything was settling down.
However, the flesh and blood chunks scattered all over the ground indicated that something extremely terrifying had happened here just now.
Covered in blood, Jiang Shan slowly got up from the ground, his eyes revealing a kind of inexplicable numbness—not the empty kind without emotion, but the numbness after enduring torment.
“It’s time to let that old thing from the Republic of China lie back in his grave. Has Ghost Rain’s Ghost Domain started invading reality? It seems Shen Bao introducing that ghost’s supernatural power wasn’t without cost; his method of balancing Ghost Rain has been broken.”
During the time Jiang Shan became an anomaly, high-rise buildings, lights, and roads unexpectedly appeared around him.
The Ghost Domain of Ghost Rain, which was inverted and formed its own supernatural space, began to show anomalies; its supernatural power seemed unable to maintain Shen Bao’s hypothesis anymore and abruptly appeared in reality.
The heavy rain was still falling, even becoming more intense.
Looking at the familiar surroundings, Jiang Shan’s expression showed no change; his body’s condition had now reached its peak, even unimaginably good.
Emotions not eroded, supernatural powers inside his body extremely balanced.
It could be said that
All the supernatural events he encountered allowed Jiang Shan to carve out a brand new path, different from the path of anomalies, different from Yang Jian’s path to becoming a god.
Even if he no longer participated in supernatural events, he would live forever in this world with a ghost’s body and human consciousness!
Another path to becoming a god lay before him.
But this could be set aside for now.
Now with Ghost Rain mutating and Shen Bao missing, solving Ghost Rain was the top priority.
“Even if Ghost Rain’s Ghost Domain has a problem, the Dead Face Ghost’s Ghost Domain at fifth level strength can’t achieve complete counter-invasion? But the Dead Face Ghost’s Ghost Domain seems different now.”
Jiang Shan pulled out the withered finger inserted into He Qiong’s head, looking at the silver light in front of him that could only spread dozens of meters and was even more dazzling; he suddenly noticed the change in his Ghost Domain.
Now possessing three ghost faces, the Dead Face Ghost not only devoured the supernatural power on fierce ghosts but also stole the characteristics of Ghost Domains.
For example, previously stealing the Knocking Ghost’s rot, Jiang Shangbai’s suppression, and the Starving Ghost’s mark.
And Ghost Rain’s Ghost Domain was a reflection, an independent supernatural space.
“Ghost Rain gathers rainwater to form a water surface, then pulls people into the Ghost Domain through the reflection on the water surface. If I want to use Ghost Rain Ghost Domain’s ability…” Jiang Shan thought to himself.
The silver light ahead immediately changed direction, instantly shining on a Ghost Mirror Shard on the ground.
A strange feeling appeared in Jiang Shan’s consciousness.
He quickly picked up a palm-sized Ghost Mirror Shard, and as soon as his hand touched the mirror surface in the silver light, it sank into it.
The supernatural space that had disappeared due to the Ghost Mirror’s shattering actually reappeared!
“All supernatural items are essentially no different; they are all ghosts in special states, and the Ghost Mirror is no exception, so a shattered Ghost Mirror equals a dismembered ghost.”
“Although its supernatural power can no longer take effect due to dismemberment, the ghost’s basic pattern remains, so as long as there’s a similar medium, its ability can continue to be used.” Jiang Shan analyzed, looking at the Ghost Mirror Shard in his hand.
A ghost is like a safe, and the supernatural power is the weapon inside the safe.
The medium is the key to open this safe.
Whether actively opened or passively opened, this supernatural power will act on the person possessing the ‘key’ in the same way.
With a dazzling silver light flashing,
Jiang Shan’s figure instantly appeared in front of a pitch-black, shadow-like ‘person’.
This was a ghost,
A ghost that appeared together when Ghost Rain Ghost Domain invaded reality, was attacked countless times by the Blood Ghost, and had fallen into dormancy!
“I don’t know how the Ghost Mirror detained this ghost before, but if I’m not mistaken…”
Standing in front of that ghost, Jiang Shan suddenly grabbed its neck with one hand and unhesitatingly shoved it toward the Ghost Mirror.
Feeling almost no resistance,
That ghost disappeared from before his eyes instantly, as if falling into an abyss.
After doing the same to the fourth one and finding it couldn’t fit into the Ghost Mirror Shard, Jiang Shan confirmed:
“As expected, the supernatural space inside the Ghost Mirror still exists, but it’s restricted by the medium and segmented due to shattering; detaining three ghosts is the limit of this Ghost Mirror shard.”
“If calculated by this area, the Ghost Mirror could detain at least a hundred ghosts.”
With that thought,
Jiang Shan picked up all the Ghost Mirror Shards on the ground and put them into his handbag.
A tool that can detain fierce ghosts anytime and anywhere would be of great help to ghost wielders.
After all, no one can always carry a tool for detaining ghosts.
Smaller ghost bodies are manageable.
But for ghosts like the Starving Ghost that have an adult form, detaining it even requires a specially made golden coffin.
After all the flesh and blood debris on his body was washed clean by the heavy rain, Jiang Shan walked into a roadside gazebo, took out the satellite positioning mobile phone from his handbag and hung it on his chest, then opened the connection.
When stealing supernatural power, he had turned off the satellite phone to avoid any accidents.
“Jiang Qingwu, this is Jiang Shan.”
After saying that, Jiang Shan carried He Qiong’s ‘corpse’ and took a step forward, then vanished from the spot.
At this moment, in the branch’s communications room.
Because Jiang Shan had accepted the position of Branch Minister, Jiang Qingwu, as his exclusive operator, had risen in status accordingly; she was now the head captain of the branch liaison officers.
This position was no different from Zhao Jianguo’s back then.
“Hm!?”
At this moment, Jiang Qingwu, sitting in her private office, opened her eyes wide upon hearing this familiar voice.
She abruptly stood up, excitedly calling Cao Yanhua:
“Minister Cao! Jiang Shan is out!”
