Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Inside the hall of the Orlando Dojo.

Louis looked at the unremarkable old cabinet in front of him with surprise.

Frank, standing nearby, took out a key and instructed, "This is the key to the cabinet. I've used it occasionally over the years. This thing is incredibly magical, but it's also far too magical. Sometimes I have nightmares about being trapped inside and turning into skeletons. It's terrifying. Louis, you must be very careful."

Louis nodded and took the key. "Uncle, don't worry, I'll be careful. But you seem to have really lost a lot of lifespan."

Louis could tell Frank's true age at a glance; his bone structure and appearance made him look about seven or eight years older than his peers.

The man, only in his early forties, already had only a little over ten years left to live.

Frank gave a wry smile, offering no explanation for everything he had experienced abroad over the years.

Gunfire, mystery, slaughter...

If he didn't use this cabinet, he would have slunk back long ago.

“Uncle, don’t worry,” Louis said with a smile, clapping his hands lightly.

The illusory image of the lotus platform flashed by and disappeared.

A green light surged into Frank's body. In an instant, Frank felt his mind and spirit shake, and his whole body felt extremely comfortable. A wonderful feeling from the depths of his soul arose spontaneously, and he even became somewhat addicted to it.

If he hadn't never used drugs, he probably would have thought it was an addiction.

"Alright, from now on, Uncle can live a long and healthy life."

Frank's benefits didn't stop there. Louis had extended his lifespan to 140 years, and his body was extremely strong, reaching the limits of human capabilities. His regenerative abilities could even be considered superpowers.

As for better benefits, it's not that Louis couldn't provide them, but that ordinary people couldn't bear them; it's a curse rather than a blessing.

When I become an immortal in the future, I will then let my relatives and friends, even their chickens and dogs, ascend to heaven.

Frank left with a look of delight on his face.

Louis turned his attention back to the cabinet in front of him.

This cabinet... is very strange.

He couldn't even figure out what this thing was all about!

As a supreme deity, he can access parts of the world's memories; there are not many things in this world that he doesn't know.

Even a divine artifact should leave some clues.

But there was absolutely nothing strange about this thing.

And that's the strangest thing!
Louis's mind moved.

The key flew automatically to the cabinet and opened the door.

After opening the door, Louis did not rush inside, but instead began to focus on deduction and observation.

Wow!
Divine power burned in the void, emitting transparent flames that gave Louis wisdom. He then used his divine status as a foundation to exchange information from the world's "database".

His hands were constantly calculating.

His gaze gradually turned indifferent.

Like a cold, calculating machine.

Fate was set in motion once again at this moment.

Invisible threads emanated from Louis and spread out in all directions.

And under this deduction...

The cabinets in front of them were like stagnant water, completely still, with no information leaked out.

No, it can't be said that there was no leak.

Instead, what they observed were the most basic and obvious things: the wood, humidity, how many people handled it, the year it was made, and so on.

Louis took a deep breath.

They began to intensify their simulations and review the "past."

Soon, the cabinet's past owners flashed before Louis's eyes.

Because of its low price, this cabinet has changed hands many times. However, upon closer inspection, it is discovered that this is an ominous cabinet. Basically, the fates of its previous owners were not good. Often, due to carelessness or other coincidences, the key was lost or forgotten, and in the end, they turned into a pile of bones.

Without exception.

Generation after generation traces back.

Ultimately, Louis traced the cabinet back to its first owner, right after it was created.

That was two hundred years ago.

A carpenter was building a wedding cabinet for his child's wedding when, just as it was finished, he encountered the Holy Knights of the Vatican chasing some kind of monster.

After a fierce battle, the knight beheaded the monster, but the newlyweds hidden in the cupboard had already been killed by the monster.

At this moment, a phantom image appeared on the monster's body, calling itself... Mephisto.

The cunning devil in Faust is also the king of demons in Hell today. He possesses the power of a pseudo-demon king and is a major force in Hell.

Mephisto began to bewitch people, turning the knights into darkness, and disappeared after yet another massacre.

The dark magic it left behind merged with the holy power of the Holy Knight on the cabinet by a one in a billion chance. It just so happened that it was also the day of a lunar eclipse, and the space was unstable.

Through a series of coincidences, this strange object came into being.

"Strange things are the wonders of the world."

"These are magnificent things that are born out of chance, under circumstances beyond the control of the world. They are of varying quality, but without exception, they are all extremely rare."

As the saying goes, the heavens ascend to fifty, and one of them is lost.

This means that the world is not entirely planned by fate like a machine, where everything is planned, but rather there are many changes.

This strange object is a product of the changes in the world.

Unaffected by or manipulated by the world.

This explains why Louis couldn't determine its origin even after consulting the world's "database".

These are all things that have been recorded by the world. It is worth mentioning that this thing seems to be very important to the world. Ever since it was discovered that this thing was a rare object, the disturbances from the world have never stopped.

The world is constantly telling Louis that handing over the wonder to the world will bring him great benefits.

But Louis ignored him.

"A marvel, unaffected by the world, truly amazing."

Louis stared intently at the old cabinet.

With such a precious treasure, and no other important things in the world that he needs now, why would he sell it?

Most importantly, the world only says it's very precious and can bring great benefits, but it doesn't say what those benefits actually are. So why hand it over?

I'll keep this for myself first.

Louis made up his mind and began to ponder the use and safety of this thing, and of course, he was also trying to discover its principle.

After some operations.

Louis understood it. As Frank said, this thing could indeed speed up time, but only the time of living beings, or rather, the time within a limited space around a living being. Inanimate objects outside this range were not affected.

In addition, the key is indeed very important. Without the key, it is impossible to break through from the inside, and the flow of time will be completely uncontrollable, causing it to go berserk.

Finally, this thing was much sturdier than Louis had imagined; Louis even let criminals stab it with a knife inside and it was fine.

They even experimented more and more, discovering that guns and cannons were completely ineffective against it, and that time even accelerated at the moment of attack.

Up to this point, it has been calculated that even a demon-level attack could not destroy this cabinet, and whether combat power above that level could destroy it is still unknown.

Oh, and Louis also discovered a little trick: because this thing is a rare artifact, once you enter it, you will disappear from the world and your fate will be blocked, making it impossible to predict.

"It truly lives up to its reputation as a marvelous object; it has so many ingenious uses." The very characteristics it has exhibited so far have already given Louis many ideas for how to utilize it, which makes him value it even more.

"However, is it possible to plant medicinal herbs in it? Or perhaps accelerate cultivation?"

"if you can……"

Louis narrowed his eyes and began to continue his experiments in a grand manner, even temporarily delaying his seclusion.

There are priorities. If this thing is proven to be suitable for cultivation, then Louis can accelerate his breakthrough.

With a thought, all sorts of experimental subjects appeared.

With such immense power, Louis could have anything he wanted; he could even capture demons from hell, and even gods were not out of the question!
Soon, with Louis's focused attention, the experiment yielded results.

"Phew~ I didn't expect it to be like this."

Louis's eyes held a mixture of disappointment and delight.

Good news, this thing can be used for seclusion.

The bad news is that this thing has conditions and limitations.

If this thing wants to grow things, it must let living organisms go in and hug or stand close to it. This way, it can accelerate the growth of plants and dead things within its range while accelerating the growth of living organisms.

The limitations are quite significant; however, if one is willing to sacrifice the lives of various beings, it might be barely usable.

As for cultivation, it's possible, but the elements needed for breakthroughs, such as the primordial energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon, are completely unavailable, or rather, only a small portion of the inner space is available.

Therefore, it can only be used for reflection, contemplation, and training in emergency situations. It is impossible to truly achieve a breakthrough by going into seclusion inside all at once.

"It's already an accelerator, so we can't expect more."

"only……"

In numerous experiments, this object has consistently shown that none of its owners met a good end.

Unfortunately, these people all died for various reasons, seemingly by sheer coincidence, without a trace of rain, almost making Louis think that death had come.

"Even demons die by chance in it. Although I contributed to this, and the demons were restless and attacked the cabinet directly, this thing is indeed ominous."

"If you use it too much, you'll probably lose the key by some chance and become just another skeleton."

Louis became wary of this.

After all, such strange objects are beyond the world, and the special curses they come with are probably extremely troublesome, and one may not be able to withstand them.

Use sparingly and with caution.

Louis then put the cabinet away. This thing was very useful; even if it couldn't be used for seclusion, it would be a good weapon against enemies.

Locking up demons or angels inside, haha, immortality? Let's see if you go crazy!

Do it all.

Louis calmed his thoughts and carefully considered whether he had overlooked anything in his many arrangements.

After a while.

Louis nodded, feeling he had done all he could, and looked up at the moon.

"It's time to leave."

"When I descend again, I will be a primordial spirit."

Say it.

Its form resembled clouds and mist, then dissipated, leaving only scattered golden rays that danced like flames and drifting catkins.

……

The Moon, the Palace.

Atop a moon-shaped peak, a brilliant light burst forth.

Golden light condensed, and a figure emerged from it.

Louis sat cross-legged on the ground, changed into a gold and red Taoist robe, and exhaled.

At this moment, the others in the palace also noticed the strange phenomenon on Moon Peak and realized that Louis had returned.

Aside from the various strange creatures living within the lunar palace's barrier, Carrie, Emma, ​​and the others came up.

"Louis!"

Lu Yu smiled at them, had them sit around him, and began to recount what had happened, during which some scandalous things inevitably occurred.

After everything is over.

The moon peak rose, forming a protective array, enveloped in a pale white glow.

Louis began to sit cross-legged within it, first drawing in the essence of the sun and moon.

The sun and moon continue to be supportive, tirelessly bestowing their essence upon those who regard him as a celestial being.

A series of special rays of light, invisible to the naked eye, shot down from the sun and the moon.

Louis then began to adjust the flow of magical energy within his body and the visualization diagrams, trying to make them as stable as possible.

Many materials needed to construct the primordial spirit body also appeared on the ground. These materials were mostly obtained from hell and the Shōmyō Shrine.

Next, Louis will first try to construct a prototype of the Dharma body, and then build it step by step.

The amount of mana required during this period was not small, but fortunately he had made preparations in advance. The essence of the sun and moon was one of the purest sources of mana replenishment, along with other storage arrays, magical artifacts, and so on that he had prepared in advance.

But these are not enough.

This is just what is needed to construct the Dharma body.

To break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, the most important thing is of course the Dharma Body, but besides the Dharma Body, there is also the most important thing: the understanding of the realm.

When he became a god, the Immortal Ancestor gave a sermon on this point, which made up for some of his lack of foundation. However, he still lacks some understanding when he wants to break through now.

Therefore, luck is needed to make up for this...

Louis glanced at the Earth, then looked away.

"Seclusion, begin."

buzzing-

The formation instantly went into full operation, and the entire lunar palace was enveloped in a white glow, a sign of the protective formation.

Louis's main seclusion location was also full of strange phenomena. The moon peak was intertwined with gold and red, and was shrouded in the white array light. The three colors of light complemented each other, creating a beautiful scene.

But what is most eye-catching is the azure lotus flower that slowly appears and blooms beneath Moon Peak, resembling a vast expanse of blue water.

The essence of life floats above the lotus leaves, creating a peaceful and vibrant scene that inspires longing in all living beings.

No one can see the back of the lotus leaf, which symbolizes death as an integral part of life.

Besides.

Within the lunar palace, many hidden forces are secretly protecting it.

The entire moon is like a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, extremely well-protected.

……

Just as Louis began his seclusion.

The orders he issued before going into seclusion were also put into practice.

First, there's the Shōmyō Shrine located overseas. As always, Higa Kotoko was incredibly helpful. After receiving Louis's orders, she immediately began a massive expansion, swallowing up the faiths of Southeast Asia one after another, and Shōmyō Shrines were everywhere.

Even powerful Southeast Asian nations like Thailand and the Philippines were forced to accept the existence of the Shrine of the Imams, as local Buddhism and various folk beliefs and sects were completely powerless to stop the invasion.

In a short time, Zhaoming Shrine became the first of Louis's many forces to develop. (End of Chapter)
