The surrounding environment was quietly changing. Gray fog appeared out of thin air and became thicker. The environment gradually changed as well. It was as if they had inadvertently gone from a field full of lush plants to a city full of weeds and vines and dilapidated high-rise buildings.
The sky was overcast, and everything had become chaotic and unknown.
Luo Kai's expression changed. "She" had come. It was different from what he had expected. She had come so silently that it didn't even arouse his vigilance.
Plants had a long lifespan, and their natural growth was bound to surpass that of other species. Spiritual will was a power that ignored the laws of physics. After reaching a certain level, it could even distort space.
Its nature was similar to the willpower he had just displayed, but it was much stronger. All the natural energy in it was separated from him.
The strength of a Saint was that he could easily mobilize the energy of heaven and earth to assist him. In this independent willpower domain, all energy could not be used. He could only rely on himself.
Not only that, his perception was also infinitely compressed. It was only about a few meters around him. He could not fly or go underground. He was almost no different from an ordinary person.
Most creatures could not survive without external energy. Now he finally understood the meaning of a god. In this independent willpower domain, "she" was indeed a god, and he was probably the only grasshopper in this cage that could jump.
"Brat, I'll deal with you when I'm done."
A clear angry scolding sounded in his ear, and then there was no more life.
Luo Kai frowned slightly. At the same time, he was secretly surprised. This natural god was becoming more and more human. The evolution of life was really strange. Human evolution was becoming more and more emotionless, while other species were becoming more and more like humans. It was not only their external behavior, but also their internal thoughts.
He searched the ruins of the city full of withered trees and weeds. The area of this willpower domain was far larger than he had imagined. It was estimated to be hundreds of kilometers wide.
As he walked, his expression suddenly changed. Someone's voice sounded in his ear. In front of him was an open space surrounded by gray fog. There were two groups of people confronting each other.
One of the groups was led by a young man with a long gun in his arms. Beside him was a large, colorful cat. It was Wei Zhen.
He was cursing loudly, "Yu, what are your intentions for bringing us to this Bewildering Ghost Domain?!"
The other group of people was led by a man with white eyebrows. He said with a cold face, "Brother Wei.
The Path of the Hungry Ghost is the best at invading one's consciousness. Your teammates could very well stab you in the back. A few of my brothers were bewitched, which was why they attacked you. I've already killed them all. As for how I entered this Ghost Realm, I don't know. "
In front of the two groups of people, there was a row of small bottles that emitted a silver light. It was very dazzling, forming a spacious area in the world filled with gray fog. The small bottles seemed to contain some kind of chemical combustion material that could stimulate a higher intensity of ultraviolet light. It was extremely effective against incorporeal life forms.
Wei Zhen believed his words and cursed his bad luck in his heart. He had originally left with the monks of the Longyang Temple. When he arrived at the Shangjing area, he encountered a military patrol. As a soldier, he had to obey orders, so he stayed behind.
Recently, the Shangjing City was about to welcome a major event. The four major branches of the human race, the Titan Race, and the Three-Eyed Race had all sent envoys to the Shangjing City to discuss how to deal with the future crisis.
This attracted a large number of foreign species to gather in the human capital. Not only were there ferocious beasts that could transform into human form, there were also many Path of the Hungry Ghost lifeforms.
The defense of the Shangjing City was under great pressure. The patrol team was almost carpet-style patrolling around the Shangjing City. He had just started patrolling with the patrol team, but he did not expect to be trapped in this fog.
The white-browed man opposite him was called Yu Sheng. He was also an outstanding figure of the new generation of the military. The light element he cultivated was extremely powerful. Furthermore, his father was the vice president of the Body Arts Association.
This place was near the Shangjing City. They were not the only ones trapped here. There were countless farms nearby.
At this moment, the fog in the forest rolled. An ape-faced Hungry Ghost that was four to five meters tall appeared. Then, a beautiful middle-aged woman with heavy makeup appeared. Following that, a translucent shadow appeared.
"High-level Hungry Ghost!"
An intense cold aura gushed out from the three "ghosts". Everyone present turned pale.
In recent years, the humans had been fighting with the Path of the Hungry Ghosts more and more. They gradually understood the nature of their lifeforms. They fed on the essence of humans and were greedy and violent.
Normal Hungry Ghosts weren't that scary. Although they were formless and intangible, they didn't have any powerful attacks. High-level Hungry Ghosts, on the other hand, were invincible in the material world. They were immune to all physical attacks, and were omnipotent in passing through walls. Their attacks were also asymmetric mental invasions. Even Physique Masters could be possessed if they weren't careful.
The three high level Hungry Ghosts had strange expressions on their faces. They didn't even look at the group. The ape-faced Hungry Ghost first looked around suspiciously, then asked the beautiful female ghost, "Little sister, what's going on? Why are we going around in circles?"
The beautiful woman's face was also filled with panic. "I don't know. We have already cut off contact with the outside world."
Only the translucent ghost's expression could not be seen. However, its voice was very serious. "I suspect that we have accidentally been trapped in a powerful willpower domain."
The ape-faced Hungry Ghost looked at the people present. It licked its lips greedily and said, "So what if it is a willpower domain? The methods of the material world cannot do anything to us. There is a lot of food here. Why don't we get rid of these humans first and then think of a way to escape?"
Among the crowd, only Wei Zhen and the white-browed man remained calm. Both of them were Physique Masters who had stepped into the God-Ascension realm. Their mental willpower was strong and they were not afraid of ordinary willpower invasion.
Wei Zhen took out a few phosphorescent bombs from his bag. To deal with the Hungry Ghosts, physical attacks were useless. Only light bombs could do the trick.
The silver light from the white-browed man, Yu Sheng, grew brighter and brighter. Just as he was about to attack, he suddenly asked the translucent ghost, "I heard that there is a Thousand-Faced Tormented Spirit in the Ghost Race that can mimic all things. Could you be one of them?"
"Little fellow, you are quite knowledgeable!"
The translucent ghost laughed and its body gradually solidified. Then, it slowly transformed into a man with white eyebrows. Regardless of whether it was his aura or his appearance, even the silver light in his hair was exactly the same as the translucent ghost.
This time, everyone was dumbfounded.
The Thousand-Faced Tormented Spirit said proudly, "As long as it exists in this world, I can mimic it!"
Everyone's expression changed. Wei Zhen gave Yu Sheng an apologetic look and stroked the big tabby cat's neck. The big tabby cat meowed unwillingly. Its body then began to expand. In a moment, it had turned into a colorful tiger. Its amber eyes were bloodthirsty. It no longer had its original cute and obedient look. Instead, it had become extremely ferocious.
However, the three high-level ghosts did not care. They did not have physical bodies, so they were not afraid of such physical beasts. From afar, they looked at the phosphorescent bottle that was emitting strong ultraviolet light in front of everyone with a sinister smile. They were waiting for the light to extinguish before they made their move.
Seeing that the phosphorescent light was getting dimmer, Yu Sheng suddenly said, "Actually, the Physical Arts Association has always intended to reach a peaceful agreement with the Hungry Ghosts. Now that the beasts' evolution speed has far surpassed that of humans, the humans are no longer the only ones in power. The situation of survival of all creatures is irreversible. It's not impossible for our two races to find a way to live in harmony."
The Thousand-Faced Tormented Spirit pondered for a moment, then laughed and said, "Haha, what the little guy said makes sense. I won't hide it from you. The Ghost Clan relies on humans to survive. Without humans, we'll become rootless trees. However, you're just a little human physique master. You may be very powerful among humans, but you're nothing to the Ghost Clan. What right do you have to negotiate with us?"
Yu Sheng nodded and said, "Indeed, I don't have the right. However, my father is the Vice President of the Physical Arts Association, Yu Yaobai. My father has been looking for a way to live in harmony between the Ghost Clan and the Ghost Clan. He has also personally gone to the Ghost Clan's Sin Inn to negotiate. Although the negotiations have failed temporarily, there's a high chance that we can reach an agreement in the future as the situation changes!"
The three high-level ghosts looked at each other. The Thousand-Faced Tormented Spirit pondered for a moment and said, "I know some of the terms of the negotiation. One of them is that you humans must send some humans to the Ghost City every once in a while …"
Yu Sheng immediately said, "Of course, but we also ask the Ghost Clan not to disturb human cities in the future and help us drive away the beasts!"
The ghost that looked like a beautiful woman smiled enchantingly and said, "Haha, the little guy is not bad. However, we specially came to Shangjing this time. We can't just go back empty-handed!"
The ape-faced ghost also said with a buzzing sound, "We can let you go, but the others must stay!"
Yu Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "You came to the material world just to plunder humans and rear them. How about this, I'll find you a densely populated city. You can take as many as you want …"
Before he finished speaking, Wei Zhen, who was on the other side, interrupted with a face full of disbelief, "What are you talking about?"
Yu Sheng turned his head and said in a deep voice, "This time, the Four Races Alliance is preparing to set up a Supreme Council. The most important topic is the peace talks with the Ghost Clan. Back then, we were able to reach peace talks with the Natural Gods among the Direbeasts. Why can't we reach peace with the Dark Realm's Ghost Clan now?"
