I wield power with my innate talents, and forge the Heavenly Court.

Looking at the clean and tidy room, a smile appeared on Mom's face.

"My darling, you've really grown up."

After saying that, Mom turned and walked towards the living room.

Xiang Zeyu followed closely behind and also arrived in the living room.

At this moment, a dining table has been set up in the living room, with a table full of delicious food that looks, smells, and tastes wonderful.

"Brother, come quick! Mom made lots of delicious food!"

Xiang Zeyu walked to the table, looked at the table full of delicious food, and couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.

Apart from the green vegetables, which looked somewhat normal, all the meat dishes had a touch of scarlet.

this.
Looking at these dishes, Xiang Zeyu really couldn't find any words to describe how good they were.

However, looking at his expectant mother beside him, Xiang Zeyu's lips twitched slightly, and in the end, he could only lie and say:

"Hmm, it looks delicious!"
It was truly a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.
My mother's cooking skills are probably comparable to those of a five-star chef.

"Hehehe, then you'd better eat more."

"Uh"

Xiang Zeyu was speechless. He wanted to go back to the past and slap his past self a few times. Why did you talk so much?
After the family of four sat down, Xiang Zeyu looked at the bowl in front of him.

Thankfully, at least the food is normal.

After Mom, Dad, and my sister picked up their bowls and started eating.

Xiang Zeyu also picked up his bowl and started eating, without even looking up.

"Sweetie, eat more vegetables, Mommy cooked them with great care."

It was clearly a word of concern, but when it came from the mother's mouth, it carried an indescribable eeriness and sinister undertone.

After she finished speaking, her mother stared intently at Xiang Zeyu.

"."

Xiang Zeyu even gave a forced compliment.

"Mom's cooking is so delicious!"

"Ok!"

Seeing this, the mother nodded in satisfaction, a smile appearing on her face.

Upon seeing this, Xiang Zeyu couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.

However, before he could fully relax, his mother's next words plunged him into an abyss of despair.

"Hmm, don't you like eating meat? Come on, eat more meat!"

"."

Xiang Zeyu was really losing his composure this time, and almost wanted to fight these strange creatures to the death.

He could tolerate the vegetarian dishes, but he really couldn't bring himself to eat the meat dishes.

"Well
"Mom, I'm on a diet lately, I'm not eating meat."

"Hmm~?"

Mom frowned slightly.

"Mom~ Mom~!"

Suppressing his nausea, Xiang Zeyu suddenly called out in a coquettish tone.

"Okay! Okay, okay."

Although Xiang Zeyu, a middle-aged man in his forties, felt extremely uncomfortable and even disgusted that a woman younger than himself was acting coquettishly towards him.

However, his mother was very pleased with what he said, and nodded and smiled as soon as he finished speaking.

Seeing this, Xiang Zeyu breathed a sigh of relief once again.

This time, everything should be fine, right?
However, reality showed him that anything is possible.

"Children are not allowed to be picky eaters!"

The usually serious father suddenly spoke up, and casually picked up a piece of food, placing it in Xiang Zeyu's bowl.

Looking at the black and white, round objects in the bowl, he simply didn't have the courage to put them in his mouth.

However, he remembered his "brother's" rule: to obey his father.

Although I don't know what the consequences will be if I disobey my father.

However, Xiang Zeyu did not want to try.

While he hesitated, his father's expression, which was initially serious but generally gentle, gradually darkened, and a sinister and eerie aura filled the air, locking onto Xiang Zeyu.

"Brother, eat quickly, it's delicious!"

Just as Xiang Zeyu was contemplating whether to take the plunge, his younger sister, who was standing beside him, suddenly tugged at his sleeve and said in a clear voice, her face full of anticipation.

Seeing this, Xiang Zeyu suddenly hesitated. He remembered the "brother's" rules and realized that his sister seemed trustworthy.

just
Can these strange occurrences really be believed?

After another moment of hesitation, seeing that her father was about to lose his temper, her mother's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.

Xiang Zeyu gritted his teeth, grabbed the food, closed his eyes, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it down with a gulp.

A foul, fishy smell lingered in his mouth, and Xiang Zeyu almost vomited.

At the same time, a chilling aura spread from his abdomen to all parts of his body.

A series of illusions surfaced in Xiang Zeyu's mind.

"Strange energy??"

As a master of the supernatural, Xiang Zeyu immediately realized that the essence of the power emanating from his body was the strange energy that shared the same origin as the supernatural.

"Strange contamination."

Instantly, Xiang Zeyu's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but secretly lament his misfortune.

He is just an ordinary person now. If he is corrupted by strange energy, he could easily lose his mind and become a new kind of strange being.

Adding the monstrous hand inside him, there are now six monstrous creatures in the room, making a total of six.

It's important to understand that the strength of the eerie domain isn't as simple as one plus one equals two; it increases progressively.

It turns out this place is already a mid-level ghost realm. If we add the two of them, it will far surpass the current level, even if it doesn't reach the high-level ghost realm.

Sending ordinary intermediate-level Ghost Masters or Illusionists would be futile, and might even backfire, strengthening the Ghost Domain.

However, just as Xiang Zeyu was filled with worry, a strange power suddenly surged within his body, colliding instantly with the strange power emanating from the eyeball and neutralizing its corrosive effects on his body.

The monstrous hand within Xiang Zeyu's body was only suppressed and bound by the rules of the monstrous domain; it was not completely erased.

Therefore, when the strange external force entered Xiang Zeyu's body and invaded its territory, it instantly stimulated the Ghost Hand, causing it to unleash a powerful force that broke through the suppression and restraint of the Ghost Domain's rules in a short period of time.

Conversely, the eerie power of the grotesque hand spread and devoured along the eerie aura of the eyeball, eventually invading the eyeball itself.

"puff!"

The eyeball in his stomach suddenly burst open, transforming into a strange power that instantly broke free of the grotesque hand's restraints and violently spread throughout Xiang Zeyu's entire body.

Sensing the state of his body, Xiang Zeyu instantly felt despair.

He knew that the supernatural was not to be trusted.

However, in the next instant, a mysterious fluctuation suddenly erupted from a mysterious spot in its brain, instantly sweeping over that strange power.

"Om~!"

In an instant, the strange power gathered and merged with that mysterious power, transforming into a mysterious seed that was reintegrated into the mysterious realm of the brain.

In a vague and indistinct way, Xiang Zeyu felt a mysterious connection with it, but it was very blurry and hazy, and the feeling was not real.

Or perhaps that mysterious seed was too weak to respond to Xiang Zeyu.

"This"

Could it be that his sister wasn't lying to him?

Could it even be of some benefit to him?

However, he couldn't sense any use for what was in his mind.

Shaking his head inwardly, Xiang Zeyu temporarily put aside the jumbled thoughts in his mind and refocused his attention on the present moment.

When Xiang Zeyu looked at the things in front of him again, he was surprised to find that everything was shrouded in a faint layer of black mist. The black mist was especially thick around his parents and younger sister, almost forming a black cloud above their heads.

Even the air itself was filled with wisps of black mist.

"This is... eerie energy?!"

Xiang Zeyu murmured aloud.

To be honest, this was the first time Xiang Zeyu had ever truly witnessed strange energy.

Previously, even when he controlled the Ghost Hand, he could only indirectly sense the existence of strange energy through the power of the Ghost Hand, always with a layer between them.

But now, he has seen the existence of strange energy through his own power.

"Is this the benefit of swallowing eyeballs?"

Looking at the black mist that filled the surroundings, Xiang Zeyu couldn't help but think to himself again.

In the time that followed, Xiang Zeyu began to follow his brother's rules, acting cautiously at home and trying to explore the deeper mysteries of this strange realm.

At the same time, Xiang Zeyu was also having some doubts.

Is this all there is to this eerie realm?

Isn't this too simple?
If following the rules would prevent strange attacks, then probably everyone could survive seven days safely.

On the seventh day, more and more strange energy seeped into his body, and the strange hand inside Xiang Zeyu's body shook again, instantly neutralizing it.

Subsequently, these suppressed strange energies were absorbed all at once by the mysterious seeds in the mind.

At this moment, his connection with that mysterious seed became increasingly clear.

He vaguely felt that he could summon it.

However, there was always something missing, and in the end, it was impossible to truly summon it.

"Am I destined to nurture the spirits of heaven and earth and become a spirit summoner?"

Sensing something amiss in his mind, Xiang Zeyu couldn't help but mutter to himself.

However, Xiang Zeyu quickly regained his composure and began to deal with the matter at hand.

"Sweetie, you must be good at school today and study hard, okay?"

"Yeah, I remember!"

Xiang Zeyu nodded vigorously, wishing he could leave home right now.

However, he showed no emotion whatsoever, continuing to smile as he dealt with his family.

"Brother, I will miss you!"
"Come back quickly after school!"

"Of course, I'll miss you too, little sister."

The family said goodbye, and although they were reluctant to part, it was also very warm and cozy; they were clearly a happy family.

After saying goodbye to his family once again, Xiang Zeyu opened the door and walked out.

"Om~!"

The space rippled slightly, and Xiang Zeyu's vision blurred. When he could see clearly again, he found himself in a vast white space.

Lines of blood-red text rapidly appeared before him.

"Strange Tales of Rules: The Happy Family"
Mission: Survive for seven days. Completed!
"Received rewards, celestial status, and access to the netherworld."

The instant Xiang Zeyu finished reading the information, a surge of power from the surrounding space suddenly burst forth, instantly entering his body and flooding into his mind.

The mysterious seed, which was just a hair's breadth away from establishing a complete connection with it and was summoned at will, instantly devoured this power.

"Om~!"

A mysterious wave spread out, instantly sweeping over Ze Yu's entire body, even reaching the treacherous hand within his body.

Immediately afterwards, various forces were activated by that mysterious fluctuation and then converged into that mysterious seed.

In the next instant, a card suddenly materialized, and streams of information entered Xiang Zeyu's mind.

After integrating the information in his mind, Xiang Zeyu finally had a clearer understanding of the current situation.

It turns out that the strange realm he was in before was not an ordinary strange realm, but a space called the Rules of Strange Tales, where everything operates according to certain rules.

Even if you are in a strange situation, you must abide by the rules.

Otherwise, the eerie will be assimilated and obliterated by the rules within it.

If you can clear the mystery tales, whether they are supernatural beings or humans, you will receive certain rewards.

The most basic reward is heavenly status.

After obtaining the Heavenly Status, one can develop various supernatural abilities and become comparable to the supernatural or the spirits of heaven and earth.

In addition to unlocking the Heavenly Realm, clearing the mystery tales will also reward you with some supernatural powers and spells.

For example, Xiang Zeyu has now acquired the supernatural power of communicating with the underworld.

Following some kind of instinct, Xiang Zeyu had a thought, and a card immediately appeared in front of him, radiating wisps of black and gold light.

The black represents eerie energy, while the gold represents national destiny, or rather, a special power of a system.

Well, regardless of whether this power exists in this world, the divine status itself possesses this conceptual power.

Therefore, the Heavenly Status will naturally gather the spiritual power around the host according to the host's identity, and evolve the fortune power that matches the host's identity.

Because he belongs to a state organ, he will naturally influence the fate of the nation.

However, it is not a power that can traverse this realm.

Therefore, it can only gather the spiritual power of itself and a portion of the people around it.

Therefore, in terms of both the quantity and quality of power, it is far inferior to the true destiny of the nation.

However, it can also suppress strange energy to a certain extent.

Of course, it only suppresses the strange energy, not the strangeness itself.

Looking at the card surrounded by black and gold energy, Xiang Zeyu had a thought about its celestial status.

"Om~!"

In an instant, the heavens and earth trembled slightly, and a beam of black-gold light suddenly shot out, transforming into a black-gold light screen in front of it. Lines of text appeared on it, which were Xiang Zeyu's various information and data.

Name: Xiang Zeyu.

Celestial Status: Elder brother, captain of the first squad of the Supernatural Countermeasures Bureau of Dachang City, All-Star Federation, a master of supernatural phenomena.

Cultivation level: Qi Refining.

Supernatural Abilities: Netherworld Connection, National Fortune Protection, Control of Ghostly Hands
Looking at the various pieces of information displayed in front of him, Xiang Zeyu couldn't help but smile.

This this
He never expected that he would gain such great benefits after clearing the Mysterious Rules.

In fact, for ordinary people, they can only barely reach the level of condensing seals.

However, Xiang Zeyu is a master of strange energy, possessing great power and the ability to bear more strange energy.

Even before the mission ended, the innate status within him had nearly been fully evolved, something that ordinary people could never achieve.

If an ordinary person were to absorb so much strange energy, they would have long been corrupted and transformed into a new, bizarre monster.

This is something Xiang Zeyu gradually came to realize later.

Ordinary people in that strange and unpredictable space wouldn't be able to complete tasks as easily as he could, without any danger, simply by following the rules.

Because it exists within it, it is constantly subjected to the erosion and pollution of strange energies.

With the help of the Ghost Hand within his body, whenever Xiang Zeyu could not bear it, the Ghost Hand would unleash its power to counteract and suppress it.

Ordinary people would probably have lost their composure long ago, then broken the rules, and been killed by the strange occurrences within.

Therefore, that strange and mysterious space with its rules is indeed an excellent way to gain power.

However, at the same time, it is also extremely dangerous.

If you're not careful, you'll be completely corrupted and eroded by the strange energy, or you'll break the rules and die.

Only those who are also ghost tamers or spirit summoners can suppress and counteract the erosion and pollution of the strange energy to a certain extent, thus making it easier to pass the level.

After checking his gains from the trip, Xiang Zeyu couldn't wait to leave the vast white reward space.

The moment it withdrew, it appeared outside the door of room 401.

Looking back, a deep blue energy net enveloped the entire entrance and even penetrated into the wall.

But the eerie family was nowhere to be seen again. (End of Chapter)
