Chapter 223: Whatever I Imagine Comes With Me, Seal Gods Achieved
Although “Borrowing a Corpse to Return the Soul” sounds as if Jiang Shan has an External Incarnation, if that were really the case, Jiang Shan could completely use corpses to create countless versions of himself.
But the corpses revived by his past memories cannot think, cannot act, and have not inherited any Supernatural Power.
Unlike Liu San’s Paper Person.
The Jiang Shan “awakened” by Borrowing a Corpse to Return the Soul is just a dead person with memories but no Soul.
It seems Yang Jian’s “memory equals soul theory” cannot take effect in Jiang Shan’s hands.
Here with him,
memory does not represent a person.
And this is also why Jiang Shan plans to use Ghost Characters to modify “Feng Quan”‘s memory; rather than saying it’s modifying Feng Quan’s memory, it’s better to say it’s modifying his own past memory anchored by the Ghost Lotus.
Jiang Shan wants to know whether the Newspaper Ghost’s Supernatural acts on memory, or the body, or perhaps some unknown things.
When the scarlet Ghost Characters began to become less blood-red, Feng Quan on the ground, who had lost his facial skin and had his eyes tightly closed, instantly opened his eyes.
But at this moment, “Feng Quan”‘s gaze was dull, and those scattered pupils seemed to prove that he was still a dead person.
The corpse did not come alive because of the existence of Jiang Shan’s memory.
“Existing on Feng Quan’s corpse, that segment of my past memory has not been modified. It seems the Newspaper Ghost’s Supernatural does not act on memory, so where could it be?”
Jiang Shan’s memory, anchored by the Ghost Lotus in the past, thirty days’ worth—logically speaking, it can be split by Jiang Shan into countless portions.
Every second,
every moment,
every day.
No matter which time node Jiang Shan is on, it is him, after all, every past self has the same memory.
And these memories are not only independent individuals, but more importantly, Jiang Shan can completely act as the main body, controlling the changes in every portion of memory.
If these corpses that exist with Jiang Shan’s past memories are compared to clones.
Then he himself is the divine thought divided into ten thousand, the sole source of the body.
Although these clones cannot act and can almost be said to have no effect.
At this moment,
Jiang Shan discovered that the memory in the corpse had not been modified due to the changes in the Ghost Characters. His eyes narrowed as he began to analyze:
“When the Ghost Characters are on the corpse, the desire in my heart is the strongest, and when on the ghost, that feeling weakens. This shows that the Newspaper Ghost’s Supernatural Power acting through the Ghost Characters is being countered on the ghost’s body.”
“And now it can be confirmed that the Newspaper Ghost’s Supernatural modification is not memory, so could it be modifying Reality? Like a person’s corpse, a ghost’s body?”
Without hesitation, Jiang Shan immediately modified the text presented by the Ghost Characters on Feng Quan’s corpse.
Only to see the corpse covered densely with a sentence written in scarlet, eerie Ghost Characters:
“I am still Alive.”
At the same time,
Jiang Shan suddenly felt a chill all over his body, as if every part of his body was frozen by frost and lost sensation. The familiar Chilling sensation reappeared in his body.
Through the Ghost Mirror Shard, Jiang Shan discovered that his originally rosy and healthy complexion had become extremely pale.
“Hm?”
Not only did his body show Weird changes, but in the Ghost Mirror Shard, Jiang Shan seemed to vaguely see another self standing beside him.
Suddenly,
Jiang Shan turned his head to look, but the scene he saw made his eyes widen in shock.
At some unknown time, Feng Quan’s corpse on the floor had disappeared.
At this moment, he was quietly standing beside Jiang Shan, and on the faceless face was an expression that Jiang Shan found extremely familiar.
This was his own expression!
Feng Quan came Alive?
No,
It should be the past Jiang Shan who came Alive on Feng Quan’s corpse under some ability of the Newspaper Ghost!
“I won’t live long. One minute of past memory can only let me exist for ten minutes. Unlike Meng Xiaodong and Yang Jian’s Infinite Invasion after Becoming a God, I am now a separate individual Alive in This World, possessing Supernatural Power identical to yours—that is, mine.”
Before Jiang Shan could speak, Feng Quan standing beside him spoke these words in his hoarse voice:
“Do not use this ability lightly. Every use consumes not only the past memory anchored by the Ghost Lotus, but also exacerbates the imbalance of your past memories.”
“Imbalance?”
Bewildered Jiang Shan couldn’t help but ask upon hearing the words “memory imbalance.”
And the Jiang Shan from the past memory naturally understood what he was thinking and said straightforwardly without reservation:
“The completion of ‘Reincarnation’ allowed me, anchored by the Ghost Lotus and shaped by Supernatural, to have countless real existing Media, which gave me countless past selves.”
“And the Newspaper Ghost’s Ability is not to modify memory, but to modify Rules. The ‘I am still Alive’ presented by the Ghost Characters on Feng Quan changed me, who only existed on the past Timeline—me, who had already died in time—to the present, to the state of being Alive now.”
Hearing these words from his past self, Jiang Shan’s pupils suddenly contracted.
He found it hard to believe the Newspaper Ghost and his own such Weird ability.
Originally, “Borrowing a Corpse to Return the Soul” was just his own mocking name for this useless ability, but now this ability has become reality?
No,
This is not Borrowing a Corpse to Return the Soul.
According to what he himself said on Feng Quan’s body, the him resurrected from the past is a completely independent individual, even possessing Supernatural Power identical to his own.
This should be called in the immortal realm—
“External Incarnation!”
“My current state is not what you think. It seems like future Jiang Shan influenced his past self, so I know so much, but I can only speak of the past and present. Once it involves the future, perhaps future Jiang Shan will die because of it.”
Feng Quan’s speech speed grew faster and faster; he didn’t give Jiang Shan time to speak—or rather, he didn’t want to.
Because he exchanged one minute from the past for ten minutes now.
It seems like a huge profit,
but in reality, Jiang Shan’s past is only one month.
“Time is running out. I can feel some ghost’s Supernatural starting to erode me along the Timeline. I’ll make a long story short.”
Only to see “Feng Quan” resolutely break off a Finger while speaking, take out the White Bone inside, and begin writing something on the wall with that White Bone.
He didn’t even glance at Jiang Shan, but said as he wrote:
“I have already walked a new path. My current Consciousness is trapped in the past by the Newspaper Ghost, Ghost Lotus, and Ghost Rain’s Curse, while my main body exists in the present Blood Ghost. The Ghost Characters, Newspaper Ghost, and Dead Face Ghost inside the body are in an extremely special Balance state.”
“I am involved in three paths at the same time, yet the three paths are mutually independent. I must ensure my past does not disappear, or else.”
As he spoke, Feng Quan’s hoarse voice abruptly stopped.
Jiang Shan, who had not yet recovered, looked at the words left on the wall in bone ash, his Mind racing.
It seems due to future Restrictions, the past Jiang Shan could not leave too much Information; he even used “I” throughout to describe everything.
So at this moment, the wall only had one sentence written:
“Ghost Domain becomes Mirror, Ghost Wood as Whip;”
“Mind follows the body, Seal Gods succeeds.”
