The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 202 Rewards and Thoughts on Raising the Great Black Buddha Mother
[You have successfully saved Xie Qiming and sealed the evil thoughts of the Great Black Buddha Mother within the statue.]

To bring the imp back to this world, all of its memories must be erased. Do you want to bring it back to this world? Yes/No (Note: This will not harm the imp's mind.)

[Congratulations, you have obtained a statue of the Great Black Buddha Mother. During its casting, a portion of the Great Black Buddha Mother's remaining flesh and blood were incorporated, imbuing the statue with a remnant of her evil nature. Extremely malevolent, its malice can manifest as curses, silently eroding the bodies and consciousness of others, killing without a trace. Ordinary people have no power to resist. To bring it back to this world, the consciousness within the statue must be erased. Do you wish to bring it back to this world? Yes/No] (Note: This consciousness exists in a very special way; erasing it means annihilation, not simply memory removal.)
[Congratulations, you have obtained a piece of the Divine Leaf. This leaf has been enshrined beneath the statue of Zhou Cang for a long time, containing the aura of the statue and the power of the believers' thoughts, and has a certain deterrent effect on evil spirits.]

[Note: A special consciousness is parasitizing your body. It needs to be removed before you can return. Do you want to remove it? Yes/No]
Li Zhen's gaze swept over the explanation of the statue of the Great Black Buddha Mother, and he thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

That statue is indeed extraordinary; it has a close connection with the real Mahakala.

After watching the explanation, Li Zhen had even more questions in his mind.

Where did the flesh and blood of the Great Black Buddha Mother come from? Who added the flesh and blood of the Great Black Buddha Mother to that statue and cast it? And what was their purpose?
And what happened to the Great Black Buddha Mother, whose flesh and blood were used to cast statues? Is she dead or alive now?

Whether they are evil gods or righteous gods, neither is in a good position right now...

After reviewing the warnings again, Li Zhen felt somewhat relieved.

He hadn't realized that there was still consciousness inside the Great Black Buddha Mother.

During his contact with the Great Black Buddha Mother, Li Zhen only sensed her evil intentions and instincts, but did not perceive her consciousness.

The desire to sacrifice that drives the people of Chenjia Village to do things seems to stem from the lingering instincts of the Great Black Buddha Mother, rather than from her rational thinking.

Spreading curses and killing those who influence the spread of one's curses are mostly driven by instinct rather than reason.

On the other hand, if that terrifying Black Buddha Mother still had normal thinking, she would be far more terrifying than she is now.

The consciousness mentioned here refers to the residual consciousness hidden deep within the Great Black Mother statue, or some kind of consciousness parasitic within the Great Black Mother statue.

Li Zhen glanced thoughtfully at the prompt that appeared after the commentary.

The power of the runes could indeed sense the "Destiny Demon" residing within him, and could also clear the consciousness of the "Destiny Demon," which was not unexpected for Li Zhen, and saved him a lot of time dealing with the "Destiny Demon."

To Li Zhen's dismay, the word "clear" was also used here.

After the "Destiny Demon" is eliminated, will some of its memories and thoughts remain in its consciousness, or will they disappear completely?

If it's the latter, then Li Zhen's deliberate attempt to have the "destiny demon" parasitize him would have been in vain.

Li Zhen may never learn about the Zhenshan Xuan Seal, the past of the "Destiny Demon," or the relationship between Wu Qiyuan and the "Destiny Demon."

However, the word used here is "clearing," is it related to the consciousness within the statue of the Great Black Mother mentioned above?

Li Zhen glanced again at the leaf he had mentioned in the middle and silently said "Yes" twice in his mind.

Everything around him began to distort, and colors reappeared before Li Zhen's eyes.

The urgent voice of the "Demon of Fate" suddenly rang in Li Zhen's mind: "What have you done?! Stop! I can help you! What is this... No! I shouldn't die here! What is this thing... I... my life... no... ah..."

The voice stopped abruptly at this point.

A panicked scream also came from the Great Black Buddha Mother, exactly the same as the voice of the "Demon of Fate".

Li Zhen was slightly surprised.

Is the consciousness on the statue of the Great Black Buddha Mother really the consciousness separated from the "Demon of Fate"?

No wonder the later description says that this consciousness exists in a very unique way...

As his vision gradually returned, the uneven roof of the truck's cargo bed came into Li Zhen's view.

The sound of heavy objects hitting the ground rang out one after another. Li Zhen, who was lying in the coffin, took a moment to recover before sitting up.

Looking at the large black Buddha Mother that had fallen beside the coffin, Li Zhen thought of the "Demon of Fate" again.

What chilled him to the bone was that the "Destiny Demon" actually had the ability to parasitize such an evil sculpture by transferring its separated consciousness onto it.

The reason why the "Demon of Fate" spoke up to remind him at the crucial moment when he was sealing the statue of the Great Black Buddha Mother must have been for this purpose.

The "Demon of Fate" was not that powerful, so it couldn't have parasitized the Great Black Buddha Mother's evil thoughts before they were sealed. It must have seized the opportunity and entered the statue of the Great Black Buddha Mother in a special way at the moment when Li Zhen sealed the remaining evil thoughts of the Great Black Buddha Mother.

This raised another question for Li Zhen.

If this "Demon of Fate" has so many ways to protect itself, would an evil god like the Great Black Buddha Mother lack such means?

The existence of this statue only proves that Mahakala has shed some flesh and blood, but is Mahakala really dead?
Detective Li naturally didn't know the answer to the question.

He got up from the coffin, put on some clothes, then led the vampire and the banshee to one side of the carriage. He took out the palm leaf whip hidden behind the banshee, placed it in a specific spot, and then categorized the items behind the banshee and the vampire.

This time, the vampire didn't get any blood, and its aura is slightly volatile.

However, there was no blood in the car, so Li Zhen did not feed the vampires for the time being.

The banshee's aura also changed, and she seemed somewhat restless.

Since successfully creating the banshee and implanting his own flesh and blood into her body, Li Zhen has never fed her.

Over time, Li Zhen himself came to believe that the female demon did not need to be fed, and thus neglected to feed her.

Next time you feed the vampire zombie, you also need to feed the banshee...

The banshee eats something different from the vampire, which requires Li Zhen to use a special method to refine, so it's quite troublesome. He can only feed her together next time.

After placing the jade talisman and bronze mirror on the vampire and calming it down, Li Zhen removed the black robe from the female demon and pulled down the ghost fetus wrapped around her.

This time when Li Zhen went to the mission world, he didn't bring the little ghost who was trying to merge with the demon infant, but instead brought the ghost fetus that was undergoing transformation.

If anything unexpected happens, Li Zhen can forcibly awaken the ghost fetus and make it work for him.

However, the mission was completed relatively smoothly this time, so Li Zhen did not awaken the ghost fetus.

The ghost fetus was still in a dazed state. Even after Li Zhen pulled it off the banshee, the ghost fetus did not wake up. It simply unconsciously stretched out its tentacles and wrapped them around Li Zhen's arm.

Perhaps sensing that Li Zhen's scent was a bit off, the ghost fetus made a few muffled cries, twitched its body a few times, barely opened its eyes, glanced at Li Zhen, and then fell back into a deep sleep.

Having no experience with the transformation of a ghost fetus, Li Zhen could not determine how long the ghost fetus would need to remain dormant before awakening.

He fed the ghost fetus something and then placed it on the vampire's body.

Absorbing some yin energy will definitely be beneficial to the transformation of the ghost fetus.

The red-eyed bat beside the coffin flapped its wings and flew onto Li Zhen's shoulder, almost falling off, but Li Zhen caught it.

The red-eyed bats are in good condition right now, and the feeling they convey to Li Zhen, besides hunger, is excessive excitement.

Li Zhen found some scraps of ghost meat for the red-eyed bat to eat. After eating a few pieces of meat, the red-eyed bat calmed down, flew back to the coffin, and fiercely stared at the statue of the Great Black Buddha Mother that had fallen to the ground.

Li Zhen arrived in front of the statue and carefully examined the seal on it.

After seeing that there was no problem with the seal, he temporarily placed the Great Black Buddha Mother alone in a corner of the carriage.

The seal on the Great Black Mother needs to be set up; this is necessary, but there's no rush.

Looking at the statue of the Great Black Buddha Mother, Li Zhen rubbed his temples.

The Great Black Buddha Mother is, after all, an evil deity. If she were alive and in good condition, she should be able to serve as the fourth object of contemplation.

The evil intent emanating from this statue is so pure that it manifests as a terrible curse that can be applied to others without the need for complex mediums or spellcasting processes. It is of considerable value and is suitable as the fourth visualization of evil spirits.

However, judging from the appearance of the statue, even if the Great Black Mother is still alive, her condition cannot be good. She is probably in worse condition than the unknown Dama Suru. If one tries to visualize her, there may be problems.

You can give it a try...

Even if visualization fails, one may still glimpse the true form of the Great Black Mother through visualization.

Of course, the greatest value of this statue lies not only in its ability to serve as an object of contemplation for Li Zhen in order to establish some connection with the true form of the Great Black Buddha Mother, but also in its status as a powerful weapon in reality.

Once unsealed, the evil energy that this statue can unleash is actually quite strong, with a large destructive power and range.

Aside from people of Li Zhen's caliber, resisting the malice of the Great Black Buddha Mother is truly not easy.

More importantly, the curse originating from the Black Buddha Mother's malice did not require Li Zhen to use any magic, and even if it was broken, it would not have a backlash against him.

Furthermore, through special methods, it might be possible to "feed" the evil thoughts of the Great Black Buddha Mother to continuously grow stronger and recover.

In this way, the statue will eventually regain some of the original grandeur of the Great Black Buddha Mother and become a demon controlled by Li Zhen.
The idea is good and feasible, but the process is too dangerous. If one is not careful, Li Zhen himself will be the first to be killed by the remaining evil thoughts of the Great Black Buddha Mother.

Anything involving the evil intentions of Mahakala must be done only after thorough preparation...

Li Zhen rubbed his temples again.

After the "Demon of Fate" was eliminated, his consciousness experienced a long-lost feeling of swelling, and fragmented memories began to flicker in his mind.

Although none of these memories are particularly important, they are the prelude to obtaining the memories of the "Destiny Demon".

This made Li Zhen feel relieved.

All that work before wasn't for nothing...

In addition, Li Zhen felt that his consciousness was also beginning to undergo some kind of inexplicable change.

It may take some time, until the changes become more apparent, before he can understand the nature and full picture of these changes.

The only thing Li Zhen can be certain of now is that this change is a positive one.

This must be related to what the "Demon of Fate" meant by "breaking through the limitations of thought"...

This means that Li Zhen can, to some extent, inherit the divination skills of the "Destiny Demon".

This is certainly something to be happy about.

The "Destiny Demon's" high level of skill in feng shui divination is beyond doubt.

Even if he didn't inherit all of the "Destiny Demon's" insights and only gained a portion of his cultivation, it would still be of immense value to Li Zhen.

With this insight as the core, he can sort out and summarize the memories he previously gained about feng shui divination using the palm leaf whip, enabling him to instantly reach a high level of expertise in this field, saving Li Zhen a lot of time.

Li Zhen suddenly remembered the runes on his arm.

The level represented by this rune must be higher than the "Destiny Demon's" philosophy of fate; otherwise, it would be impossible for it to conceal the "Destiny Demon's" divination and completely eliminate the "Destiny Demon's" consciousness when it was completely unprepared.

Shaking his head, Li Zhen, feeling even more dizzy, walked towards the jar containing the little devil's heart.

He needs to find a suitable, auspicious place to slumber for a period of time in order to undergo a second regeneration of his flesh and blood, and to digest the memories that will soon have a huge impact on his consciousness...

The reason Li Zhen did not undergo a second rebirth was not only because of the urgency of the situation and the lack of time, but also because he needed a suitable burial site.

There is no such place next to Li Zhen's house; Li Zhen will have to find such a place himself.

Normally, this would take a lot of time, because it can't be found by asking others for help; Li Zhen has to go and see for himself.

But now Li Zhen knows there is a place where there must be a suitable burial site.

After taking a close look at the heart of the little devil and the demonic infant floating inside the jar, Li Zhen closed his eyes and sensed for a moment.

A surge of violent emotions rushed into Li Zhen's mind, making him irritable.

After the violence, Li Zhen sensed the little ghost's plea for help.

It's still a bit of a stretch...

Li Zhen opened his eyes, opened the jar, and dripped a few drops of his blood into it.

The pale heart inside the jar immediately began to beat, continuously drawing Li Zhen's blood into its orifice.

The "demon baby" inside the jar opened its eyes a crack, glanced at Li Zhen, and then closed them again.

The imp and the demon infant are still locked in a stalemate, but with Detective Li's assistance, the imp will soon gain the upper hand. At that time, the altar can be opened to help the imp possess the demon infant's body.

After rubbing his temples again, Li Zhen looked around the carriage, pausing for a moment on the talisman on the coffin that had dimmed again, before walking out of the carriage.

Is this mission world related to spirit talismans again?

After jumping off the train, Li Zhen glanced at the straw figure he had placed near the door, which bore his birth date and time and was used to conceal his fate. All he saw was a pile of ashes.

It seems this thing must have worked after he left, but it's unclear how effective it was when facing the "Destiny Demon".

Perhaps this is something related to "Destiny Demon"...

Li Zhen glanced at the big-headed imp and the rotten cat that he had sealed away, but did not lift the seal on them.

With the little devil gone and no one watching over these two things, unsealing them might cause some trouble.

Li Zhen drove his car onto the highway, and soon noticed that a car was following behind him.
