My clan is super powerful

Chapter 230: Shadow; Soul; Six Paths of Reincarnation
Hearing this, Zhang Zhihe and Zixia beside him looked at each other.

Obviously, the suppressed evil existence mentioned by the extraordinary creature opposite is most likely the law of death.

I just don't know whether the Law of Death mutated before it was "suppressed" or whether it mutated because it was "suppressed" for too long.

And the invader they were talking about who enslaved their race was obviously the Mind Flayer.
The Mind Flayer really did appear in this world.

However, unlike Zhang Zhi's previous speculation, the mind flayer that invaded this world has actually been driven out.

The Extraordinary Realm just said that after the emergence of this mutated Law of Death, those intelligent creatures that were originally enslaved by the Mind Flayer were able to break free from their mental slavery.

What was going on? Was it the Law of Death, or that dark shadow?
I guess this is why Xiayun University sent everyone into this world?
They want to find out why the creatures in this world are immune to the mind flayer's laws of mental slavery?

So, the main world had discovered the Mind Flayer's main world long ago? And had been searching for a way to easily counter the Mind Flayer's special mental power spells?
But what's the point of sending us here?
Moreover, all the people participating in the exchange meeting are talented and talented. Isn’t Xiayun University afraid of accidents?
Or is there some hidden secret here?
After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhi found that he couldn't figure out the key point, so he was too lazy to think about it anymore. Anyway, he planned to leave here at dawn.

After the Transcendent Realm creature opposite finished explaining the general situation, they exchanged glances and continued, "We have an unwelcome request and hope to receive your assistance."

Fang Yun thought that they had indeed taken him in, so he asked, "Can you tell me roughly what kind of help you need from us?"

It spoke, "You are the great world master among the human race, right?"

Zhang Zhi nodded.

After hearing Zhang Zhi admit his identity as the Lord of the World, the intelligent creature took a deep breath and asked again:
"Just now, you killed that strange black shadow in the darkness, right?"

Zhang Zhi nodded slowly again.

The Transcendent Realm being continued, "The help we need is actually related to that black shadow."

"After you killed those shadows, you must have noticed that they would eventually turn into a small piece of ash, right?"

Zhang Zhi continued to nod.

It said: "What we want is actually those ashes."

Seeing Zhang Zhi looking at him, he continued to explain, "When you came here just now, you could actually smell that special smell outside the house, right?"

Zhang Zhi thought of the fragrance he smelled when he approached the building and said, "Yes, that's right."

The transcendental being on the opposite side continued to explain, "That smell is actually the smell emitted by the ashes when they are burned by flames."

"That smell has a special effect. Any dark shadow will extremely hate it. This smell, combined with the presence of fire, will prevent our wild villages from being attacked by dark shadows."

"This special kind of ash is responsible for the continued existence of all the wild villages."

Zhang Zhi nodded slowly again after hearing this, and then said, "So?"

"So, I'm hoping you can help kill some shadows."

"As time goes by, the power of the dark shadows in the night grows stronger. Now, every time we obtain shadow embers, we have to pay with human lives."

"A small portion of the Shadow Ashes used to enter the village were purchased with the lives of the people in the village, and the majority were purchased from outside at a great cost."

"Because exchanging Shadow Embers consumes a large amount of our ore, the amount of firewood we can exchange for fuel is getting smaller and smaller. In recent years, our village has seen numerous attacks by Black Shadows, and many people have left. Originally, our village had a population of nearly 10,000."

After hearing this, Zhang Zhi understood the intentions of the three of them. They wanted him to help kill those black shadows.

He pondered for a moment before asking, "Can't this black shadow be killed with the help of firelight?"

"All you have to do is find a way to lead them into the flames."

He sighed softly at the Transcendent Realm creature opposite him: "Indeed, if we lure those shadows into the light, we can kill them."

"However, those shadows are not easy to find. They are very fast, and it is difficult for us to find their specific location in the darkness."

"At the same time, those shadows are becoming increasingly powerful. Sometimes, not only do we fail to kill them with torches, but the shadows actually devour all the light from the torches."

"There's another problem, as you've probably noticed. If you don't leave in time after killing a black shadow, more black shadows will appear around you."

"All these factors combined make it difficult for most people who go to collect Shadow Ashes to return alive."

Zhang Zhi nodded slowly after hearing this: "I understand. You mean, you want me to summon my followers to attract those shadows and kill them, right?"

The three nodded in agreement. Zhang Zhi pondered for a moment, thinking it was something he could do. Just as he was about to agree, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Oh, you guys keep saying how scary and weird these black shadows are. Can you tell me what makes them so scary and weird?"

The Transcendent Realm cultivator who had been communicating with Zhang Zhi replied after hearing Zhang Zhi's question:
"This shadow will lurk in the shadows of us intelligent creatures."

"At first, the possessed creature showed no abnormalities."

"When the shadow is weak, it feeds on human mental energy. Once it becomes strong enough, it can directly control the behavior of living beings."

"At this time, most of the shadows will control the creatures they possess and run into the darkness."

"As for those powerful black shadows, they devour the souls of living things. In the end, the creature whose soul is devoured by the black shadow will become a hollow existence without any soul."

"And those soulless bodies, if not dealt with promptly, will slowly transform into another dark shadow in the boundless darkness."

After hearing this answer, Zhang Zhi asked, "So, what is it that made the mental spell that enslaved you ineffective? The black shadow?"

The man shook his head and said, "No, in fact, the mental slavery spell is ineffective on more than just the shadow."

"That shadow does have the ability to invalidate the mental spell that enslaves us."

"In the beginning, a small number of creatures, after being possessed by the shadow, not only did the shadow inexplicably disappear, but even the mental imprint of enslavement vanished."

"But the vast majority of those who were enslaved discovered that the mental spells that enslaved them began to slowly lose their effectiveness after the strange dark night appeared."

"Some speculate that the demons that invaded our world possess spiritual power that is somewhat different from ours. Their spiritual power can be directly absorbed by the darkness of the night."

"That's why the invaders' strength is getting weaker and weaker, and they are starting to voluntarily withdraw from this world."

After listening to the story of the Transcendent Realm cultivator, Zhang Zhi slowly nodded: "I understand your current situation."

"Personally, I think it's fine in principle. I can summon my followers to collect those shadow embers for you."

"But what will you give me as payment?"

The three people on the opposite side were overjoyed when they heard Zhang Zhi's words, although they had been very confident that they could convince the Lord of the Human World on the opposite side. After all, summoning clansmen was not a big cost for the Lord of the Human World.

But only after confirming that Zhang Zhi really agreed did they breathe a sigh of relief. In this way, the village no longer had to sacrifice human lives to collect Shadow Ashes. The collected ores could be exchanged for more food and Shadow Ashes.

After a brief discussion, the three Transcendent Realm beings spoke up, "Our village in the wild doesn't have much to offer. Currently, the most valuable item is iron ore. However, since you are the Lord of the World, you certainly wouldn't consider iron ore valuable."

"The only thing we have left is the iron essence collected from collecting iron ore."

Zhang Zhi looked at the three of them calmly.

The reason why he said he was willing to agree to the three of them was naturally because he had his considerations.

After listening to the man's story, he was quite curious about this world that might have a mutated law of death, as well as those strange black shadows.

Judging from the information just obtained, those black shadows have the effect of neutralizing the mind flayer's mental slavery mark. If we can find out why the black shadows can neutralize the mind flayer's spells, then in the upcoming war, humans will completely crush the mind flayer.

He was wondering in his mind, could that black shadow be the soul of an intelligent creature after death, which was then infected by the special laws of this world and turned into this black shadow?
If that black shadow is a soul, then this world becomes really interesting.

Since I have such doubts in my mind, I naturally have to verify them.

The best way to conduct research is naturally to summon several followers from the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

In this multiverse, no creature currently understands the soul better than the monks of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

He was ready to summon the monks from the Six Paths of Reincarnation to help those people kill some black shadows, which would be a piece of cake.

Things like iron essence are of no value to him at all, but it is certain that a small village in such a shabby place cannot produce anything good.

Just as he was about to agree, Zixia beside him suddenly asked, "Did you get any spoils from killing the aliens who invaded you?"

The three Transcendent Realm monks looked at each other and nodded: "Yes, and there are quite a few."

"But not on us."
