Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

In the mountains of Ethan.

Louis easily found the natural spirit and the evil spirit that Bayan had spoken of.

boom!
The mountain exploded, and two orbs of light, each shimmering with a different radiance, were captured and began to circle around Louis.

Louis recognized the two men at a glance.

One is a spirit naturally born from Mount Ethan, and the other is a tiger spirit that has gathered many accomplices.

"Natural spirit, I never thought I could still see something like this in this era, what a pity."

Louis's eyes were full of regret.

Among the many pieces of knowledge transmitted in the Civil Code, the existence of natural spirits was mentioned. These spirits are actually a kind of prototype of the gods of heaven and earth, which are born from the natural world.

Once born, they are natural deities, often found in mountains and rivers.

In ancient times, many famous mountains and rivers were said to have given birth to corresponding spiritual beings, who later became renowned deities. Their potential was extraordinary, and they were often born as righteous gods or even chief gods.

Although this Ethan Mountain spirit is not from a famous mountain or river, its connection to the earth's energy meant that once it was born, it would likely be a righteous god equivalent to a great demon. However, it is now broken and even internally corrupted, making it impossible for it to become a god.

In fact, generally speaking, it is considered a loss of merit to rashly kill the spirits born of heaven and earth. Therefore, most of the time, these natural spirits are not afraid of people and are completely safe in the days before their birth.

However, their numbers are still very small, because they also encounter a hardship at the time of their birth. This is the way of the universe; it is impossible for everything to go smoothly.

And that tiger spirit seems to be the calamity of this natural spirit.

"The ghouls formed from the souls of eighty-one powerful beings are all concentrated on this tiger spirit. It is truly remarkable and is no longer an ordinary monster."

Within this broken tiger spirit were seventy-two dim points of light. Through his divine eye, Louis could see that the weakest of these points contained the souls of powerful beasts, while the stronger ones contained the souls of demonic beasts, Buddhist cultivators, and so on.

With these powerful souls as its energy source, it's no wonder that it was able to entangle itself with the spirits of nature, ultimately resulting in a lose-lose situation.

However, they are not dead yet, they still retain a trace of their consciousness, and they are still fighting each other, devouring and containing each other.

Louis reached out his hand, and a powerful gravitational pull bound the two together.

A red flame suddenly ignited two orbs of light.

"Ahhhh-"

A piercing scream rang out.

The mountain spirit conjured up a blurry, withered old man who glared at Louis with resentment.

But then it blurred for a moment, and tiger-like features appeared on its body, growing a tail, claws and teeth, and even its eyes turned into vertical pupils, full of wildness.

After more than five hundred years of life-and-death entanglement, the two have become deeply intertwined.

Thanks to this, even though they are incomplete, they can still be considered as great demons.

Crack - crackle -

Sparks crackled and popped.

In just a dozen seconds, this being, which had become an evil spirit, was burned to death.

Performance +1
We are still missing 18 great demons, or one half-demon god.

As Louis thought about this, his initial happiness instantly turned to calm. He hoped that the other place guided by his luck would bring him even greater gains.

Just thinking about it.

Louis let out a soft exclamation and focused his gaze on the space where the two light sources had burned.

In that seemingly empty space, Louis keenly sensed an attraction, a power... similar to the essence of His divine position.

A thought came to my mind.

The space suddenly burst open, revealing what was inside.

It turned out to be a yellowish-brown jade walking stick, plain and unremarkable in appearance, grayish and similar in style to an ordinary elderly person's hiking stick.

"A mountain god's status that is not yet fully formed?!"

As natural spirits, they are born with the world's favor and are given divine positions and offices from birth.

And this is the materialization of the divine position.

Unfortunately, because it was not yet born, its potential was not fully developed.

Looking at this thing, Louis quickly thought about how to use it.

Absorb it? Give it away? Use it as material for refining weapons or alchemy? Or perhaps as material for setting up an array?
If I were to absorb it, my divine authority to destroy the world wouldn't seem to be a good match for it.

Give it to someone else?

If you give it to someone else, they can become a god, though they'll be very weak, but immortality will be a piece of cake. However, Louis is very confident in his future. Extending the lives of his own people is no problem at all; he doesn't need this kind of thing.

Refining weapons or alchemy?
It's a good option. Leaving aside alchemy for now, it's very suitable for weapon crafting. You could craft a large seal or something similar, like a mountain suppressing something. There might be a chance to complete the rules in the future and craft a primordial spirit magic weapon.

As for the materials used in the formation...

Although formations are Louis's forte, he's actually not very good at using them to set up formations.

After much thought, I decided that keeping it for weapon forging was the most worthwhile option.

Just when Louis thought so.

The voice that had been urging him on suddenly changed; it became softer and was mixed with another voice.

Louis was taken aback.

"Recycling the world's rules, this thing is worth four Great Demons?"

In the world's rankings, recycling world rules takes precedence over eliminating high-energy life forms.

Even at its full potential, this is only equivalent to the rank of a great demon, yet it would fetch such a high premium if given back to the world.

After only a moment's thought, Louis decided to sell it to the world.

After all, given his current situation, he doesn't know when he'll be able to forge weapons again. His immediate priority is to resolve his debts, so the choice is obvious.

However, before selling it to the world, Louis still delved into the power of the Yang God, carefully exploring its inner strength, especially its structure.

After replicating it, Louis sold it to the world.

The cane vanished instantly.

Conversely, Louis also felt that his debts had decreased.

Now, performance plus 4
There are currently 14 major demon debts remaining.

"With the guidance of good fortune, we've resolved six performance issues in this location. The next location can't possibly be any less, right? Let's strive to pay off the debt in one go!"

With that thought, Louis vanished instantly.

……

Los Angeles.

This city was already an old friend of Louis's.

As an entertainment city, this place is full of talent agencies, film companies, and so on.

The Cano family also had investments here, and Louis's brothels were located here. However, this time, the intelligence given to Louis was not from these subordinates, but from a church of revelation.

A community in Los Angeles.

The young man held the water cup shakily, trying to drink several times but stopping himself, and looking around nervously, as if some psychopathic killer would rush in and kill him at any moment.

The priest standing next to him looked helpless.

Since arriving here, he had tried to persuade the other person several times, but to no avail. However, considering the other person's special circumstances, the priest felt that it was not entirely incomprehensible, if everything he said was true.

A friend of mine had a precognitive dream that saved everyone, but after returning, they all died in accidents.

Steel bars piercing the brain, Ferris wheels severing heads, natural gas explosions, and so on.

There are all sorts of ways to die!
Some of the ways people died were so outrageous that even the priest found them absurd.

What does it mean to fall into a bathtub and happen to have a hairdryer wrapped around your neck while you're swinging it, before finally falling into the bathtub and being electrocuted to death?
So many coincidences?
"Alright, young man, this is the Lord's church, and the great revelation will give us guidance."

"Didn't you notice? According to you, everyone who was supposed to die died one by one, so you should have died too, especially since many accidents happened on your way to the church, but you just happened to avoid them all, so you're still fine now. Do you really think that's just a coincidence?"
So believe me, no one dares to cause trouble here.

The priest explained with great conviction.

Listening to the priest's explanation, the young man's emotions calmed down a bit. Indeed, many unexpected things had happened when he arrived, but he had inexplicably escaped them all. What did that mean?

This means that God is protecting me!

"Thank God, if I survive this time, I will definitely become a devout believer."

He said so.

Just then, a phone call came in. He instinctively wanted to answer it, but he stopped and could only look to the priest for help.

The priest shook his head, answered the phone, and immediately a piercing scream came from the other end.

"Run! Get to a safe, enclosed space where there are no weapons! Death is after us, killing us one by one in the order we were supposed to die. Me, the one I saw before, after I die, you'll be next. You'll be the last one to die. Live on... Ahh!! Glug glug—"

A series of bubbling sounds, like bubbles being blown, were heard, along with the muffled thuds of a man struggling.

These sounds were so clear in the silent church at that moment, making people feel depressed and suffocated.

As these sounds gradually ceased.

The young man suddenly screamed, his eyes turning bloodshot. He knew his friend was dead.

And in the order he described.

I'm the last one!
I'm going to die! I'm going to die!
The image of his companion's gruesome death kept flashing through his mind. The young man's vision began to blur, and his brain began to feel oxygen-deprived. He touched his neck, trying to catch his breath.

However, even his heart began to ache terribly.

Clearly, some kind of cardiovascular disease has begun to manifest.

"The medicine...the medicine...the medicine is gone..."

"Heh... Death... So fast..."

The young man gave a bitter laugh.

The priest next to him looked anxious. He hadn't expected that someone would actually dare to kill someone in the church. This was a provocation!
In his panic, he finally remembered the techniques he had learned during his advanced studies at headquarters.

He quickly cast a medicinal spell on the young man in an attempt to alleviate his condition.

It proved effective once used.

The young man was able to breathe a little more air, and his complexion improved slightly.

next second.

A trainee priest, seeing this, felt a little flustered. He shakily took out a bowl of water, wanting to cooperate with the priest in using the "Water of All Diseases" ritual.

But as he walked, perhaps in a hurry, he suddenly tripped and fell, crashing down onto the young man.

The priest's pupils contracted, and he kicked the novice priest away while nimbly catching the bowl of water.

Before he could even catch his breath, a ballpoint pen rolled off the body of the novice priest who had been kicked away...

A series of unexpected events occurred without pause.

They're all targeting young people's lives.

The priest also felt powerless, after all, he was just a priest, and this kind of work should be left to exorcists and Apocalypse Warriors!

at this time.

The ceiling of the church suddenly shook, and a rat that appeared out of nowhere had run onto the ceiling and was gnawing on the wires.

boom!
The chandelier came crashing down, and this time, even the exhausted priest couldn't react in time.

Just as it was about to fall and kill the young man.

Time and spacetime have come to a standstill.

The ceiling installation stopped, everyone stopped moving, and even the air seemed to stop.

Louis's figure emerged from the church statues and materialized.

As soon as he arrived, he looked at the young man.

He sensed the situation here before He arrived, so He froze the spacetime here, thus rendering Death's so-called accident useless.

"Final Destination, I wonder which one this is."

Final Destination is a special type of horror film, a variant of gore horror, in which there are no supernatural forces other than the possible existence of Death.

But the Grim Reaper in it is less a god and more like a program.

There's no way around it, this thing is just too embarrassing for God.

According to the final Final Destination movie, everything stemmed from a tragic incident at the Sky Restaurant decades ago. A woman with psychic potential foresaw the future under the influence of death omens and successfully saved hundreds of lives.

Then, Death began to hunt down these survivors, including their descendants, since the dead cannot have offspring.

Up to this point, everything was still normal, a sort of operation to complete the Death KPL, but at the very end, it was discovered that the woman who had saved everyone had never been killed by Death.

She actually managed to delay her death through various studies on the Grim Reaper. In the end, if it weren't for cancer and her desire to die, she probably could have lived to old age and died!

Incidentally, it also protected the entire family!

Simply incredible.

Equally unbelievable is Death itself, who was actually tripped up by a mortal! And even allowed a mortal to escape alive!

If this thing isn't rigid like a program, it's impossible to explain.

After all, if it were a personalized god, it would have already jumped out and started fighting.

However, these are all movie plots, while this is reality, and the specifics are still uncertain.

Louis was indeed very curious about what exactly Death was.

Does He have a personality?

And is it related to those gods of death?

Stopping his thoughts, Louis's expression was calm, but a golden light suddenly ignited in his eyes as he opened them and scanned his surroundings.

At the same time, he kept making calculations with his hands, and his magical power surged.

In the universe, the sun and moon rotate slightly, responding to the call.

soon.

Louis stopped and fixed his gaze on the young man, or rather, on the space behind him.

"I see."

"It's pretty much what I guessed."

Through that layer of space, Louis saw black chains, slowly turning like gears. (End of Chapter)
