Chapter 488: 268, putting the cart before the horse! The beginning of a bizarre game!
“If you do not return to your rightful place, a Killing Calamity may descend, and we might be powerless to help you through it.”
This was the third sentence and the last one.
After this sentence materialized, those words dispersed with the wind, leaving not a trace behind. Tan Shuchang, looking at this sudden emergence of words, couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
Killing Calamity?
Was this referring to his mentor?
However, what did this “Mr. Chu” mean by asking him to return to his place?
...
Tan Shuchang only felt that these three lines of text, although abrupt and seemingly without reason, could not possibly be without cause, making it all the more perplexing for him.
“Cultivating immortality is dull, so he wants me to return to my place...”
“And if I do not return, a Killing Calamity will occur. Moreover, this calamity is something that even the All Ghostly Paths cannot help me overcome...”
“I seem... or rather, should I be very familiar with the All Ghostly Paths?”
Tan Shuchang realized this point.
But this discovery left him feeling like the matter was without head or tail since he had encountered the Ghost King’s identity due to his guardian role in the Rotten Ghost Path and had three encounters with “Mr. Chu” thanks to the diaries.
So, where did this familiarity come from?
After all, this is the All Ghostly Paths! Those familiar with and able to get help from the All Ghostly Paths are likely to be a part of it!
With rapid thoughts, another idea suddenly struck Tan Shuchang, and his eyes revealed a hint of incredulous doubt.
However, these were originally Tan Shuchang’s thoughts; he now vaguely felt that this might be something the eerie game world was hinting at him.
“Seen But Unheard, Nian Buyu, Ting Bujue...”
These three names all had some sense of contradiction.
Clearly seen, yet unheard; clearly thought of, yet unsaid; clearly listened to, yet unfelt.
Tan Shuchang’s thoughts began to wander, and so his qi began to connect with this eerie game world. This connection didn’t necessarily mean anything, at most indicating that Tan Shuchang’s current cultivation level, was terrifyingly strong.
Truly a prowess that meddled with creation!
Yet within Tan Shuchang’s body, within his flesh, bones, blood vessels, within his soul and consciousness, there lay another entity.
It couldn’t exactly be called an entity, as it wasn’t really life.
It was a number.
A unique lineage of the All Ghostly Paths.
It possessed strength between powerful and non-powerful, lacking self-consciousness, but causing the All Ghostly Paths helpless against it, even those self-conscious All Ghostly Paths had more than once had to clean up after “number.”
Being disassembled by the rest of the Ghostly Paths undoubtedly indicated that “number’s” power was indeed limited, even weak, because the rest of the Ghostly Paths, even if suppressed by another and stuck in a perpetual “crash” state, wouldn’t be dismantled by others.
But this Ghostly Path “number” could also be said to be the only incarnation of “heaven’s number,” “fate’s number,” because the power of both manifested in the Ghostly Path “number.”
