How come I was born a deity?

When I got home, my aunt was still picking vegetables in the kitchen. When she heard the door open, she came out to take a look.

"Ah, Xiaoqi, you're back," Auntie muttered with some doubt. "What kind of work do you do? How come you're off work so early?"

Chen Qi waved his hand, "That's not important. By the way, Aunt, when my dad handed me over to you, did he say anything?"

"What did you say?" Auntie was taken aback by the question. "Nothing, I don't really remember. I just said that you'd be in our care from now on, and then I turned and left."

Didn't you tell your aunt?

The aunt glanced at Chen Qi and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I was just asking." Chen Qi shook his head, then turned and walked into the bedroom.

My uncle is probably still at work. As for Chen Ruopan... she's probably at the library pretending to be studying hard again, and she's probably still sleeping soundly on a library table right now.

Chen Qi said it was understandable that Chen Ruopan failed the exam, and she argued that she was balancing work and rest, but just a little too much.

After entering the bedroom, Chen Qi locked the door, turned off the lights, drew the curtains, and moved the lamp behind his head.

A thin shadow was cast on the ground. Chen Qi squinted at it, just like the shadow's eyes were staring at a ghost in the secluded old house of the Ten Thousand Demons Club.

"Hello?"

Chen Qi asked a question.

But the shadow did not respond.

Chen Qi tried many other methods to "awaken" his shadow, but without a doubt, none of them had any effect.

No matter how much external shouting or physical contact occurred, his shadow remained unchanged.

Do we have to find a ghost ourselves and "activate" it? That's obviously unrealistic.

With his arms crossed, Chen Qi pondered for a moment and suddenly realized that since he was a cultivator, he must use the methods of a cultivator to solve the problem.

Mobilizing the stars and spiritual energy within his body, Chen Qi activated his spiritual sense and looked into his own body.

In addition to the numerous stars within its body, there is also a star map filled with a great deal of information about the stars.

After the shadow devoured the vengeful ghost in the secluded old house, the number of stars in Chen Qi's body surged again, and when converted onto the star map, it depicted three or four hundred people.

This book was first published on 2020s.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

The progress has increased dramatically!

This also made Chen Qi realize that the disappearance of the ghostly aura last night and the increase in his star map progress this morning were definitely related to his shadow.

Besides the stars and star charts, Chen Qi continued to look inside his own body.

Inside his empty body, Chen Qi quickly noticed a dark mass.

"What is this?"

Chen Qi mobilized a small amount of starlight within his body, surrounding the dark mass and using the starlight to make a "physical" contact with it.

This contact was indeed very effective. The darkness lurking within Chen Qi's body suddenly stirred, and then a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly appeared in the depths of that darkness.

The eyes were exactly the same as the ones that appeared in Chen Qi's shadow back then!

This was the first time Chen Qi had ever made eye contact with this thing. Even in the secluded old house, he had never actually made eye contact with it before.

What is this?

Chen Qi hesitated for a second before asking, "Who are you...?"

Unexpectedly, the other party spoke human language, and the very first sentence made Chen Qi wonder if he had accidentally entered a forum.

"Damn it!"

Chen Qi: "?"

Seriously? Are you crazy? Why are you cursing at me?

Suddenly, the mass of black mist seemed to stand up, and spoke in a hoarse, androgynous voice, "You bastard! Let me out!"

Chen Qi: "?"

I'll let you out?

Tell me first when you came in?

To be honest, Chen Qi was already a bit bewildered. He immediately withdrew his spiritual sense, and at the last moment before withdrawing it, he could still hear the curses of the black mist gradually fading away.

"You bastard! Let me out! Don't you dare run away!"

After withdrawing his spiritual sense, Chen Qi could no longer hear the sound of the black mist. However, he was still a little confused about what this thing was and why it existed in his body.

And...it even allowed itself to release it?

I don't understand, I just don't understand!

After calming down for a few minutes and letting the black mist inside his body subside, Chen Qi reopened his spiritual sense and looked into his body.

The black mist seemed to have finished cursing and took a couple of breaths. As soon as it noticed Chen Qi's spiritual sense entering, it immediately shouted, "Can't you hear me?! I told you to let me out! You dog!"

Chen Qi said somewhat helplessly, "Calm down first. I don't understand the situation either. How about we exchange information?"

"What's there to be calm about! You've kept me locked up here for over twenty years and haven't spoken to me a thing. Can't I go crazy for a bit?" Black Mist was acting like a spoiled child. "You dog! When I get out, I'll make you fly!"

Chen Qi: "If you don't shut up, I'm turning around and leaving right now, and I won't see you for the next ten years."

Upon hearing this, the black mist fell silent.

After a few seconds, it reluctantly asked, "What do you want to ask?"

Seeing that the other party had calmed down for the time being, Chen Qi asked, "What are you? Why are you inside my body?"

"You have the nerve to ask me why I'm inside your body? You're the one who locked me in here!"

Seeing that the other party was about to go crazy again, Chen Qi quickly interrupted it, "Okay, okay, I know, then at least tell me what kind of thing you are."

"I'm not telling you," the black mist snorted.

Chen Qi silently began to withdraw his spiritual consciousness.

"Hey! Don't run away!" Seeing this, the black mist quickly tried to stop him. "I can't tell you who I am. Someone surnamed Chen warned me not to tell you anything about me, or I'll never get out of here!"

A person surnamed Chen?

Chen Qi's eyes flickered slightly. "Is his name Chen Fuzhou?"

The black mist replied, "How would I know? I think that's the name. More than twenty years have passed, how could I possibly remember it so clearly?"

Since it was related to Chen's father, Chen Qi felt somewhat relieved.

I've lived as an ordinary person for over twenty years, and this thing hasn't harmed me. Surely it can't take my life now that I've just become a cultivator?

Moreover, judging from the situation last night and today, this thing can further accelerate his cultivation speed under his cultivation talent, which may become a turning point in his year-end election for the position of leader.

"Let me ask first," Chen Qi asked, just to be on the safe side, "You wouldn't harm me, would you?"

The black mist said, "Why would I harm you? I'm trapped inside you, how could I harm you? I was the one who swallowed the ghosts from last night and today, then purified their energy before feeding them to you. Otherwise, you would be lying on the floor by now!"

It was indeed the work of that black mist!

Although its speech was strange, and it purified what it swallowed and fed it to itself, much like feeding itself excrement after eating, it was also true that Chen Qi's progress in drawing the star map had greatly improved.

As long as it can be utilized, even if we don't know what this black mist is, we can still consider it as our ally.

"How about this," Chen Qi said, "Aren't you lonely and bored? As long as you continue to help me absorb and purify ghost energy, I'll come to chat with you at regular intervals. Isn't that a good deal?"

The black mist flew into a rage, "Who are you calling lonely and isolated?"

"I'm leaving."

"Hey, hey, hey!" the black mist hurriedly called out to him, seemingly gritting her teeth as she said, "I'll help you, but you have to agree to another condition!"

Chen Qi was immediately delighted, but still held back. "What conditions do you want me to agree to? If they are reasonable, I can consider it."

The black mist said, "After I get out of here, I want compensation for emotional distress!"

Compensation for emotional distress... Whether you can even get out of here is a question...

Chen Qi muttered something to himself, but did not refuse.

Anyway, he was in a hurry to get through the upcoming newcomer evaluation and the year-end election for the leader smoothly, otherwise everything else would be in vain.

"Okay, I promise."

Chen Qi agreed and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something. He turned to the black mist and asked, "What should I call you? I can't keep calling you 'that guy' every time I come in, can I?"

The black mist hesitated for a second before giving an answer.

"Call me White Copper."

It was obvious from the name that it wasn't a proper name; it seemed more like a name that had been made up on the spot. However, Chen Qi didn't care; it was just a name after all.

The other party stated from the beginning that they would not reveal their real identity, so it's normal for them to use a pseudonym.

As long as it helps him improve, he doesn't care what Chen Qi calls him!
