Crossover Anime: Mortal Slays Demons, Achieving Supernatural Power

Page 20

But then Zhongli changed the subject.

"However, the impact of future supernatural events on humanity and society is expected to grow larger and larger."

According to information previously researched about small countries, the revival of an era would cause a surge in the intensity and number of supernatural phenomena.

It will definitely have an impact on society, and the supernatural information may even become uncontrollable and cause unrest.

Like him, he encountered the supernatural in the third year of the epochal revival.

We hear about paranormal phenomena all the time, and they seem to be everywhere. This influence will only grow stronger in the future.

Takanashi Tokachi's heart skipped a beat, and she unconsciously grabbed Zhongli's lower back.

"Third, calling the police when encountering paranormal events is useless; at most, they'll come to clean up the scene."

As for whether visiting temples and shrines is helpful, I don't know, I haven't had any experience with them.

But I feel that it's very useful for you to contact me.

Zhongli was very willing to help Tokachi Kotori.

The reason is that the other party has the identity of a Heavenly Fortune Holder, and is very likely to have a Radiant Fortune.

It would be best if we could bring them under our control.

Zhongli and Zhang Jinglan had previously inquired about the concept of a "Celestial Chosen One" and learned a lot about it.

Those with Heavenly Fortune are the mortals whose destiny is determined by the fortune of an era, and are also the origin of the bloodline of all cultivators.

Firstly, those who are "Heavenly Users" are divided into three levels, with the highest level, "Heavenly Blessed Level," being considered the template for a protagonist.

Without interference from extremely powerful cultivators, normal development will surely lead to the pinnacle of a nation.

When one awakens to spirituality, one will inevitably possess supernatural powers and a supreme spiritual affinity, which is the highest talent for cultivation.

According to Zhongli's understanding, it's probably the character positioning of the male and female protagonists in anime.

[Radiant Level] Without interference from powerful cultivators, normal development will surely lead to the rise of a high-ranking official in a nation.

When one awakens their spirituality, they will possess the highest cultivation talent of top-level spiritual affinity, and there is a chance to awaken supernatural powers.

According to Zhong Li's understanding, he is probably an important supporting character in the anime.

[Yu Guang Level] If developed normally without interference from cultivators, he will surely become a pillar of the nation.

When spirituality awakens, one will possess a high level of spiritual affinity, making one a little genius.

According to Zhong Li's understanding, it's probably a minor character in an anime.

As for the so-called origin of cultivators' bloodline, it is that those destined by heaven were originally mortals.

After spiritual awakening, the bloodline of the chosen ones is elevated, and their descendants are born with spirituality and the ability to cultivate.

All naturally gifted cultivators in the world today can be said to be descendants of those destined for greatness in ancient times.

Therefore, the place of destiny for this era is the cherry blossom.

That's why the Celestial Empire pays close attention to cherry blossoms and even firmly controls them, turning them into a vassal state.

Only those with extraordinary abilities from the Celestial Empire, like Zhang Jinglan and Chen Miaomiao, would be sent here for training.

Otherwise, how could a tiny place compare to the vast and resource-rich Kyushu Continent in terms of experience?

……

Hearing Zhongli say that if you encounter something supernatural, you can ask him for help.

Takanashi Touka felt a sense of relief; she had great confidence in Zhong Li's abilities.

After all, who has ever seen something as fragile as tears cut through the ground and stop cars and trucks?

Even the evil spirits controlling the cars were killed with just three drops of tears.

Takanashi Touka brushed a strand of hair that had been ruffled by the wind from her ear, her perpetually cold expression softening slightly, and softly expressed her gratitude.

"Thank you, Zhongli Jun. If I encounter any paranormal events in the future, I will give you a sufficient reward."

I hope you won't find it troublesome.

Hearing that the cold, aloof woman behind him also had a gentle side, Zhong Li blinked in surprise.

"No need for payment, who knows, I might need your help in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Takanashi Touka was slightly surprised, but still nodded.

"Really? If you need it, just let me know."

While the two were talking, the Blue Wing motorcycle had already entered Chiyoda Ward.

Not long after entering Chiyoda Ward, a rapid ringing sound suddenly rang.

Ring ring ring ring...

The sudden noise attracted the attention of Zhongli and Xiaoniao You Shihua.

Zhongli noticed the vibration coming from his pocket and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

His phone doesn't seem to have such a noisy ringtone.

With a question in mind, Zhong Li was about to take out her phone from her pocket.

Toka, who was standing nearby, quickly stopped her.

"No, don't drive with one hand. Let me take out your phone to answer it."

Otherwise, the vehicle could sway and become dangerous.

Takanashi Toka has not forgotten that if Zhongli were on the motorcycle and it lost its balance and wobbled violently, it would take off on the spot.

Zhongli did not refuse.

Although his driving skills are at level 5, he could drive incredibly fast with one hand. But people don't know that.

So I'm too lazy to dwell on this issue.

At Zhongli's prompting, Takanashi Touka took out her phone from her left pocket.

The screen displayed a call from Yilutong Company in large red letters, indicating an urgent call.

Without hesitation, Xiao Niao You Shi Hua quickly answered the call and placed it next to Zhong Li's ear.

As soon as the call connected, Luo Jing's lazy voice and the sound of typing came through.

"Kid, I have some bad news for you. There's a mid-level supernatural being rapidly approaching you."

It is suspected that the supernatural entity is targeting you, currently 1.3 kilometers away in a straight line, and is rapidly moving through buildings to get closer to you.

It will appear in your field of vision in about 40 seconds.

Upon hearing this, Zhongli's eyes widened slightly.

I never expected that a mid-level paranormal entity would come looking for me, and so quickly at that.

Keep in mind that he's riding a motorcycle now, not walking slowly.

To catch up in about 40 seconds when it's 1.3 kilometers away is absolutely amazing.

If he stops the car now and puts the little bird, Tokayaki down, he'll catch up immediately.

Zhongli gave instructions to the little bird, Shihua, behind him.

"It's urgent, Shihua, hold me tight, we need to speed up."

Upon hearing the acceleration, Takanashi Touka instinctively hugged Zhongli's waist tightly with one hand, pressing her body completely against him.

Feeling the soft pressure behind him, Zhongli twisted the accelerator and sped off.

The speed reached a staggering 230 kilometers per hour, hitting the limit of the Blue Wing motorcycle.

As they sped up, Zhongli hurriedly pressed for information about the supernatural events.

"Mr. Luo, is there any paranormal information?"

Let me explain briefly so I can handle this.

Chapter 23: The Curse Leads to the Hearse, Frenzied Skill Point Allocation, Extreme Speed.

Upon hearing that Zhong Li wanted to deal with intermediate-level supernatural beings, Luo Jing, who was squatting in front of the computer, looked puzzled.

I feel like Zhongli is really reckless; he wouldn't think he could handle a low-level supernatural event like the Twilight Coffin Carrier, which is only of medium danger.

I think intermediate-level paranormal phenomena are quite weak.

The difference lies in the quality and quantity of buildings and rooms.

Despite this thought, Luo Jing still quickly revealed the supernatural information.

"The intermediate-level paranormal entity chasing you is a hearse, which is extremely fast, with a speed of 400 kilometers per hour and a speed of about 111 meters per second. It can penetrate obstacles."

Known abilities include releasing extremely hot ghost fire, controlling dozens of ghosts, and using substitutes.

The others haven't shown their abilities yet.

He heard that the supernatural entity that had locked onto him was a hearse with abilities such as speed, penetration, arson, ghost control, and substitution.

Zhong Li's pupils narrowed slightly, sensing that this supernatural phenomenon was very unlucky for him.

Especially penetration and substitution.

Penetration is fine, but it might penetrate his Void Tear.

However, sacrificing yourself can perfectly avoid the damage from Void Tears.

Moreover, the fact that his paranormal activity was linked to a hearse is quite intriguing.

This reminded Zhongli of the car accident ghost child, and ultimately the car accident curse he placed on him.

Could this hearse be controlled by a curse from a car accident?

Are car accident ghost children really that powerful? Can their curses before death control intermediate-level supernatural entities?

The car accident ghost child was naturally not powerful.

But the hearse was indeed brought about by a curse from a car accident.

To be precise, when Zhongli entered Chiyoda Ward, the curse of the car accident on him happened to attract the hearse that was out hunting at night.

The hearse naturally chose Zhongli as its hunting target.

Luo Jing, who was constantly monitoring most of the supernatural phenomena related to cherry blossoms, noticed that the hearse was unusually close to Zhong Li and naturally notified him in advance.

After learning about the supernatural information, Zhongli checked the four unused sources of spiritual energy within the system.

These four spiritual sources are rewards for resolving lower-level paranormal events, such as the "cannibalistic phone booth" and the "car accident ghost child."

I was originally planning to go back and think about how to use it, but now it seems I can only use it ahead of schedule.

But should it be used to evolve new spiritual techniques to break the deadlock, or to upgrade the level of existing spiritual techniques?

As for improving his cultivation level, Zhongli simply gave up on it.

After all, four portions of spiritual energy are not enough for him to advance to the intermediate level of a spiritual master.

The thought process only lasted a moment, and Zhongli decided to upgrade his spiritual arts.

Extracting spiritual energy involves too many uncertainties and carries too much risk.

Having made up his mind, Zhongli looked at Yan Ye Wuxianqi, who had taken time out that afternoon to train to LV2.

Words of Infinite Deception is the most suitable spiritual technique at present. As long as someone denies the lie, reality can be distorted with the lie.

Just then, Tokachi Kotori was nearby, who could help him maximize the effect.

After making the decision, Zhongli immediately manipulated the system to add the four sources of spiritual energy.

【Words of Infinite Deception】LV2: 13/100

Effect: Reduces the spiritual energy consumption of distorting reality by 10%.

【Words of Infinite Deception】LV5: 100000/100000【Max】

Effect: Reduces the spiritual energy consumption of lies that distort reality by 80%.
