Finding a Solution

Seeing that Yu Xiucai had become like a parent to her, Zhu Ge had a faint realization.

confirmed!

There are indeed two Murakamis!

One is something that makes people stiff, but retains a certain amount of memory and mobility.

The other is that eerie "Double Happiness" deity.

It was normal for the scholar Yu in front of us to have the character "儒" (Confucian) on his chest.

When you have that joyful smile on your face, you are being controlled by the God of Happiness.

But now, this rigid state is clearly something else entirely!

This is just a village... Zhu Ge sighed inwardly.

"I'm going back now." Zhu Ge didn't say anything more to Yu Xiucai and turned to leave.

At that moment, Yu Xiucai behind him suddenly made a "hoho" sound.

Zhu Ge turned her head and saw Yu Xiucai panting heavily, the character "Ru" on his chest shimmering slightly.

"You'd better get out of here!"

Scholar Yu looked pained: "If necessary, shout my name! I can burn my lifespan to regain consciousness!"

Burn-in life!

Zhu Ge frowned, but before she could say anything, she saw the character "儒" (Confucian scholar) on Yu Xiucai's chest slowly disappearing, so she immediately rushed out the door.

It turns out that not everyone in the village had their spirit taken away; at least Yu Xiucai's spirit was not.

If possible, save Yu Xiucai as well... Zhu Ge felt heavy-hearted.

Scholar Yu was extremely strict in his daily life.

The gentleman was as gentle as a loving mother, while the scholar Yu was as strict as a stern father.

The two patriarchs were in charge of everything in the village. Their food and drink were provided by the villagers, and they also bore responsibilities.

When the incident occurred, Yu Xiucai's thoughts differed from Zhu Ge's.

Zhu Ge was thinking about how to escape or how to save his life.

But Yu Xiucai was thinking about how to save people.

This deeply touched Zhu Ge.

However, not long after he ran to his doorstep, he saw his parents standing there, and his heart skipped a beat.

Bathed in moonlight, his parents stood at the doorway of the house like two statues made of human flesh.

They stared blankly at Zhu Ge as he ran towards them, not even blinking.

broken!

Zhu Ge slowed her pace, her brows furrowed.

His going out will inevitably cause strange changes.

But staying indoors at that time could also cause strange changes.

We're surrounded by wolves in front and tigers behind!

Now we can only take it one step at a time.

Zhu Ge walked forward, clenching her fists, tensing her thighs, and keeping a close eye on her parents, ready to run away at any moment.

If all else fails, escape Jianshan Village!

Although the jungles and wilderness outside the village are more dangerous, at least there is still a chance of survival.

If you lose your godhood, then you're doomed!

To his surprise, his parents didn't react much; they just watched him enter without moving.

"Bang!"

The father closed the door and then whispered, "There are gods outside. Don't go out unnecessarily; it's dangerous."

After closing the door, the two elderly people stood at the doorway, staring intently as Zhu Ge mechanically went to bed and lay down.

After lying down, Zhu Ge said in a mechanical voice, "There are gods outside, I know."

The two elderly people nodded, then mechanically returned to their beds and lay down.

Silence fell over the room.

However, Zhu Ge's mind was racing.

As expected, I didn't know!

Zhu Ge understood perfectly.

When Zhu Ge had previously guessed that it was the Tiger God, he also knew that even the Tiger God could not completely control all the cougars and could not know their status at all times.

This is also why he has escaped control without being discovered.

In that case, even if the people of Jianshan Village have been deprived of their divine power, they should still remain independent of each other.

His return this time further confirmed his suspicions.

After their gods were taken away, these people were different from those who were rumored to have had their gods taken away; they were not rigid and were capable of taking action.

However, what they have in common with other people whose gods have been taken away is that the gods can only influence the people whose gods have been taken away to a certain extent, but cannot directly control them, much less manipulate them as easily as they would an limb.

At the very least, it shouldn't allow for things like sharing a view or remote control.

This is also the source of his confidence to go out and come back.

And the parents' reaction confirmed this!

After lying down, Zhu Ge also made plans for tomorrow.

Keep searching until you find the shrine!

The first realm of gods is called the Shrine Realm; destroying its shrine allows one to kill the god.

Apart from that, Zhu Ge didn't know any other way to kill him.

As for the shrine of the God of Happiness, it is clearly the bridal chamber.

All you need to do is destroy the wedding room, and you'll naturally destroy the God of Happiness.

However, Zhu Ge was somewhat puzzled about the origin of the god on the other side.

If it were the Tiger God, there wouldn't be a single place in the village related to tigers.

If it's not the Tiger God, then what deity could achieve such an effect?

"Perhaps we can look for it in nature?"

Zhu Ge suddenly remembered the origin of the Tiger God's idea.

It comes from the idiom "to act as an accomplice to a tiger," which he knew.

Now it seems it might not be the Tiger God, so could it be some other god?

What kind of creatures can exert control similar to acting as an accomplice to a tyrant?

After thinking it over and over, Zhu Ge couldn't think of many, and none of them seemed reliable.

In a daze, Zhu Ge fell into a deep sleep, only waking up when the hen clucked.

After waking up, his body was in a state of extreme weakness.

The body can't withstand such a long period of continuous depletion of lifespan.

Logically speaking, a person's lifespan is the lifespan of their organs, cells, and so on.

His body could have lived for over fifty years because his cells were still young.

Now, the system has been burning his lifespan through mysterious means to power the "Kunpeng," so naturally his body is no longer young.

Although Zhu Ge looks like a young man in his teens or twenties, his organs and bones are already at the level of forty or fifty.

Therefore, although he forced himself to get up this morning, the weakness and powerlessness in his body still made his steps falter.

He walked out in silence and went to work in the fields.

Everywhere I looked, there were only walking corpses.

However, Hua Xiaomei, Yu Xiucai, Ma Laizi, and others did not appear in front of him all morning.

Zhu Ge could sense that deathly stillness.

The entire village, except for him, had been deified.

Two gods, one in the south and one in the north, occupied two areas, one large and one small.

Large areas are inhabited by the living dead.

The small area was filled with joy.

Only Zhu Ge and one-third of Yu Xiucai are still alive.

Moreover, they cannot leave the village.

"Is it really impossible to leave?"

Zhu Ge's eyes were bloodshot as he continued to ponder the thoughts he had left behind the night before when he wore the Kunpeng.

He now only has two choices.

Either run away or stay in the village.

Regardless of which time he wore the Kunpeng's special abilities, the resulting thought process always told him that going out would mean certain death!

The village only has two shrines containing deities, but what about outside?

They're everywhere!

Demons, ghosts, monsters, and gods filled the land, and each region was divided into its own territory.

In the eyes of the various alien races outside, Jianshan Village actually belongs to the territory of a powerful being.

That powerful being is Mr.

The gentleman went out, but the word "Confucian" he left behind served as a deterrent and warning.

So, staying in Jianshan Village at least gives us a chance to catch our breath. What if Mr. returns tomorrow?

If we were to go outside, I probably wouldn't survive even a day!

Therefore, the blessing song must remain, and the most important question remains...

"A shrine?"

"Speaking of which, what if we burned all the houses and belongings in the village down?"

"For example, burn them all?"
