Chapter 222 Ancient God, I Must Control You

Despite feeling the biting wind whistling against her face, Ji Yi felt no panic whatsoever.

With his physical strength, even if he were to fall and hit the terminal velocity, he would be almost unharmed.

In Ji Yi's words, "Have you ever seen a hunter die from a fall?"

Of course, there is also the possibility of injury.

He would only be injured if he collided with an object that was stronger than his body and had a smaller impact area; or if he collided with a highly sharp weapon.

In short, judging from the current defense compensation mechanism, ordinary blades still have the ability to cut through his skin. In terms of defense, Ji Yi's only advantage is that he has much higher resistance to impact.

As Ji Yi fell into the abyss.

Two pieces of information popped up in his field of vision at the same time.

One was a vision from behind, a God's-eye view, with a text box popping up behind his head from the eyes of data.

Miss Cat used the "malfunctioning wristwatch" to reset her physical state to 3 seconds prior.

Upon seeing this, Ji Yi's anxious heart finally calmed down a little.

The "Malfunctioning Wristwatch" is a divine piece of equipment with an extremely high theoretical limit, capable of preventing instant death or serious injury within a short period of time.

However, the cost is also severe: one month of real lifespan, which cannot be used lightly.

But in that instant, Ji Yi suddenly realized something.

This equipment can be repaired using [Advanced Repair Technique]!

But there wasn't time to think further about the feasibility of this.

Ji Yi's attention was drawn to the text in front of her retina.

【Name: Keltic Numa】

[Class: Ancient God]

[Rating: Unable to be determined]

[Danger Level: Incalculable]

[Introduction: An invasive species from outer space, currently sealed deep within the core of the Azure Star. This location, being the core of the sealing array, offers a glimpse into its nature.]

As Ji Yi scanned the information, her body continued to fall.

He found himself hearing what sounded like whispers in his ears.

It was a very strange sound that Ji Yi had never heard before, and he believed that it could not be reproduced by any human technology.

At first, it sounded eerie and unpleasant, but before long, the voice became like the gentle words of a mother in a cradle, making people feel completely intoxicated.

The abyss seemed bottomless, and Ji Yi was constantly surrounded by the feeling of falling.

And in his consciousness, those whispers mingled, indistinct yet seemingly containing truths beyond this world.

If we were to use a metaphor, it would be as if Ji Yi were a fetus in the womb, and the voice was the mother communicating with her through a barrier.

As Ji Yi felt increasingly enlightened, he saw tentacles growing from his navel and eyes sprouting from his arms.

It's a wonderful feeling.

I think it's about time; if we don't act now, we'll miss our chance.

A piece of writing in front of her blocked Ji Yi's wonderful experience.

Ji Yi suddenly opened her eyes!

immediately.

[Skill "NPC Control Panel" activated]

brush--

In an instant, Ji Yi's mind became completely clear.

Here we must reiterate the specific usage of the [NPC console].

It doesn't involve making an NPC directly obey your commands. Instead, it requires separating a portion of your consciousness to take control of the body on behalf of the NPC. Moreover, the two consciousnesses work together, which is essentially what is known as multitasking.

At this moment, Ji Yi, who possessed the body of an ancient god, felt an unprecedented amount of information flooding his mind.

This is different from the time I transformed into a god in my dream.

Ji Yi seemed to understand all this information, yet at the same time, she seemed to understand nothing at all.

He tried to raise his hand, but the concept of a hand seemed to become abstract and complicated. He tried to open his mouth, but he couldn't even utter a word.

The simple act of controlling the body has become so difficult.

What made Ji Yi feel even more complicated was the information that she only vaguely understood. Humans couldn't comprehend it, and just thinking about it made her feel like her will was about to collapse.

At this moment, Ji Yi's true form is still falling.

"If the abnormality is really that deep, the Mist Woman couldn't have climbed down back then. Was someone helping her? Was it the person who gave her the book?"

Sensing that her other half was on the verge of collapse, Ji Yi had no choice but to change her control strategy.

"Take a deep breath, meditate, now gather all awareness, stop all activity, remain still!"

As if in self-suggestion, Ji Yi shouted.

At the same time, the whispers in his ear disappeared, and the feeling of "enlightenment" vanished without a trace.

But Ji Yi became even clearer-headed. Looking at her hands and feet, she saw that they hadn't turned into monsters.

However, the descent process was far too long.

The wind howled in her ears, and Ji Yi's pupils focused as she looked into the abyss.

At the current speed, you'll probably need another four minutes to reach the bottom. You've survived a close call, so why not take off for a bit to relieve the stress? Use the remaining three minutes to contemplate life.

"."

Stop making that face, let me show you something serious.

'Ha, what kind of indecent stuff could I possibly be watching?'

[Kertik Numa (currently under control) possesses power sufficient to destroy the planet Azure. Although sealed, her will has awakened and is corrupting humanity through whispers.]

After his seal was broken, the Mad Celestial immediately noticed and used the legendary item "Time-Space Gate" and the skill "Delusion Come True" to transfer the power that should have been directed towards other worlds.

"Is there any way to re-fill the seal?"

Ji Yi asked.

[This is no small feat. The remains of an immortal and the replicas of the Four Swords of Zhuxian have all vanished without a trace. Even if you could find them, it wouldn't be as simple as reinforcing them back then.]

Ji Yi understood upon hearing this.

After all, none of these things were lost back then, and the seal only leaked out a trace of the ancient god's power, which was then taken by the Mist Maiden.

Now, not only is power leaking out, but even the ancient god himself has awakened. How can this breach be filled?
"It's not that there's no way; as long as I stay in the instance, the Ancient God will never wake up."

"Damn it, it's only been a few chapters and they're already going to use that 'suppressing evil for eternity' thing. No way, I have to go back eventually."

While pondering, Ji Yi suddenly tilted her head to the side, accompanied by a loud bang:
"Boom!"

His forehead slammed into the solid rock surface.

"Ouch, I feel a bit stiff."

Ji Yi got up from the ground and twisted her sore neck.

Looking around, there was only endless blackness. We were more than ten kilometers above the ground, and it seemed that not even a sliver of moonlight could penetrate.

Ji Yi could sense that the ancient god was deep beneath her feet; this was perhaps the closest she had ever come to it.

Ji Yi looked ahead, and the darkness seemed to conceal a great terror, making him afraid to take a step forward.

"clatter!"

As Ji Yi turned on the flashlight, the terror vanished.

"This place is deep enough, is it possible to dig out fossils?"

Thinking it over, Ji Yi walked along the narrow crevice, her gaze scrutinizing him.

See that array pattern over there? That was originally where the remains of an immortal were kept.

Upon seeing the highlighted area in her field of vision, Ji Yi immediately stepped forward.

On one side of the abyss, on a stone wall, there was a large circular array, but it appeared to have been corroded, its patterns now fragmented. [This ancient array, drawn by a True Immortal, was damaged by an unknown force, causing the will of the ancient god to sometimes awaken and sometimes slumber.]

So, you mean you arrived at the right time, because the ancient god wasn't asleep?

After the remains of the immortal disappeared, some people attempted to break the seal, but failed.

Ji Yi was surprised: "You could tell that too?"

The Data Eye marked an arrow on the stone wall:
[Look, this phrase "fuck your mother" was carved not long ago.]

Ji Yi: "."

Since the attempt to break the seal by human intervention failed, does that mean that the Headhunter Alliance was not the only force involved in breaking the seal of the ancient god?
Moreover, this speculation can resolve many questions.

Ji Yi sorted out her thoughts and roughly deduced the storyline of the matter.

The story begins with the Mist Maiden being bewitched by a mysterious person, who then breaks the seal of the ancient god.

The story was questionable from the start. To break the seal of the ancient god, she needed to descend into an abyss more than ten kilometers deep, which was simply not a realistic thing.

We'll leave that aside for now.

The story continues with Ji Yi and the other three reinforcing the seal.

Then someone from the Headhunter Alliance broke the seal and hid the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the remains of the immortal.

At this point, the person attempted to further break the seal, but failed.

Who destroyed the array?

Ji Yi guessed that it was very likely that mysterious person. Perhaps it was even that mysterious person who helped the Mist Maiden when she went to break the seal.

As for whether this conjecture is true or false, it cannot be verified at the moment.

Continuing with the timeline, the top brass of the Headhunter Alliance failed to break the seal again and soon left.

Then the Mad Celestial appeared and dealt with the overflowing ancient god power.

Finally, there is an unknown force—possibly a mysterious figure—that destroyed the array, completely awakening the ancient god.

Only by following this order can the Mad Celestial not be affected by the will of the ancient gods and safely complete the placement of the space-time gate.

Ji Yi had just read all the information about the Mad Celestial. Although his abilities were special, he should still be unable to contend with the whispers of the Ancient Gods.

According to this timeline, there is at least one unknown force that needs to be found.

Through fragmented information, Ji Yi quickly found a new target for investigation. If it were anyone else, probably no one could have done it so easily.

[Continue along this path, and you'll see the space-time portal set up by the Mad Celestial. There, the overflowing power of the ancient gods was perfectly intercepted and transported to an unknown world.]

Upon seeing this, Ji Yi took a flashlight and continued forward along the road.

Ji Yi quickly found the place.

It's called a time portal, but it doesn't actually seem to have anything to do with a portal, much less like a wormhole or teleportation portal.

It was a huge compass, embedded in the ground, and judging from the patina on it, it was quite old.

Judging from the design alone, it's impossible to see where one can enter or exit.

【Name: Time-Space Gate】

[Type: props]

[Quality: Legend]

【Effect 1 "Activation": Consumes a large amount of spiritual energy to open a portal to another dimension. If no coordinates are set, the destination will be unknown.】

【Effect Two "Close": Consumes a large amount of spiritual energy to close the space-time portal】

Can it be taken out of the instance: No

[Note: This door has a long history, having been here since ancient times. It is a natural creation, inseparable from the seal of the ancient gods.]

Upon seeing the note, Ji Yi was first taken aback, then suddenly realized.

That explains it. After the Mad Celestial Venerable installed this door, although later generations destroyed the array diagram, they didn't dismantle the space-time portal along with it. So that's why.

【Title: Falsehoods Become Reality】

[Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill, Permanently Mastered]

[Effect: You can permanently change any one of the following information about an item: its status, abilities, attributes, etc., and make it a reality. The cost is the loss of one less-tier item, and you will not remember the item you lost.]

[Learning Requirements: A person who talks in their sleep]

[Note: I think nobody wants this.]

"The Whisperer is a starting class that is even stronger than many first-tier classes, but its weaknesses are also obvious. Almost all of its skills have negative effects."

At the same time, this is a rare and special profession, so rare that Ji Yi had never heard of it before.

When Ji Yi first entered the game, she looked at hundreds of professions, but that wasn't a complete list.

Some rare professions cannot be found in the game's Q&A AI encyclopedia; they are similar to hidden professions and items, and players need to explore them.

Therefore, the uniqueness of the Mad Celestial's profession is self-evident, even less so than that of the Conman profession.

It is even highly likely that he was the only one who awakened to this profession.

What's even more interesting is that Mad Celestial is already level 20. After he changes his class, he will definitely be able to squeeze into the top 100 players in terms of combat power.

"But there are advantages and disadvantages, and the price he paid is not something that ordinary people can accept. Anyway, I definitely wouldn't be willing."

For example, even though the Mad Celestial Venerable seemed perfectly normal just before he fell asleep, that was actually when he was at his most lucid.

As a delirious person's strength increases, they will become increasingly unable to distinguish between dreams and reality. The clearer their mind becomes, the more peculiar their mental state will become.

And it won't get better after falling into a deep sleep; only when the person is most exhausted will the delirious person appear to have clear logic.

Clearly, this has gone beyond the realm of normal people.

It could even be said that the Mad Celestial Venerable is mentally ill.

Moreover, Ji Yi believed that the Mad Celestial Venerable probably lived in a mental hospital in the real world as well.

This is the price of power.

Having learned this, Ji Yi had already let go of her resentment.

Mad Celestial Venerable plotted to kill Hao Youqian. Ji Yi stepped forward to demand justice, only to discover that the other party was mentally ill.

What else is there to argue about?

Looking around, there seemed to be no more clues worth noting.

"Okay, we've gathered enough information. Now we should think about how to take a shortcut and get down to business."

Ji Yi looked down at the rocks beneath her feet. Deep within them, the ancient god was emptying his mind and controlling his body to remain still.

If it were a living being, activities like breathing and heartbeat would be unavoidable, but the ancient gods seemed to transcend common sense, as they could be controlled by deliberate effort.

"I have two plans now, Haki, can you give me your advice?"

Ji Yi looked down at her feet and said.

"First, I control the ancient god to take the beating, while I use the Nascent Soul stage experience card to become a Nascent Soul cultivator and destroy this guy. What do you think?"

[Heh, a Nascent Soul cultivator fighting a Mahayana cultivator? Even if the opponent opens their defenses and lets you attack, you'd still be blasted to death by the recoil, while they'd be completely unharmed.]

"That's it"

But that was already Ji Yi's strongest offensive method. The difference in strength was too great, so even if Ji Yi could control it, he couldn't do anything about it.

"Then shall I try to control an ancient god to commit suicide?"

[How can someone who is bound hand and foot and gagged commit suicide?]

makes sense.

"Then the second option is to control the Ancient God and try to understand it."

【? 】

"Then, spread my teachings to the people in the world who have become monsters, and persuade them to do good and become monsters that are useful to society. I call this the Light Cult's Recruitment Plan. What do you think?"

【.】

[Idiot.]
