Horror Resurrection: I Evolve Starting with the Ghost Buddha

Just as Bei Sha was kowtowing and worshipping, Lin Chuan's grand and eerie voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Northern Fiend..."

"Well done."

Upon hearing this, Bei Sha's body trembled violently, and his eyes burst forth with wild joy.

"It is my honor to be able to transmit the Dharma and teach the Way to the Buddha!!"

"Hmm... I will grant you another great fortune."

Lin Chuan's voice rang out again.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Chuan consumed 0.0005 taboo points to bestow a blessing upon Bei Sha!

Soon, a series of messages popped up on the panel deep within Lin Chuan's consciousness:

[Blessing successful!]

[The fanatical follower Bei Sha has obtained the entry: [Orator]!]

[Entry Effect: The voice will possess an irresistible power to influence, easily inciting and brainwashing the audience when giving a speech, and even... having a chance to persuade those who are forbidden through words!]

Lin Chuan was also somewhat surprised to see this information.

His blessings are given to believers randomly each time.

The title that Bei Sha obtained this time is clearly somewhat overpowered!

"this……"

Bei Sha also sensed the extra information in his mind.

At that moment, he was also stunned!

With this endorsement, his path of spreading the "Rebirth Sect" belief will be much smoother in the future!

"Disciple kowtows in gratitude to Buddha!!!"

He kowtowed again, his voice filled with boundless gratitude and fervor.

Lin Chuan did not respond to him again.

He withdrew the will he had projected onto Bei Sha.

With a change of heart, he turned his attention to three other fanatical believers who had left Qinglong County to explore new frontiers—Chen Feng, Qin Yao, and Zhou Kai.

Lin Chuan's consciousness first descended upon Chen Feng.

"what?"

He was slightly startled.

The fluctuations of rules emanating from Chen Feng have actually reached Rank A!

Clearly, he has become an A-level weirdo!

However, Chen Feng looked quite disheveled at this moment.

He was covered in blood and hiding in the basement of an abandoned building.

The place where he was was a dead city shrouded in thick fog.

The city is full of terrifying and bizarre things, the lowest level being C.

Not long ago, this was actually a relatively safe base city.

But then, a large-scale paranormal event suddenly occurred!

The entire squad of demon tamers he brought with him has been wiped out.

He was left all alone, struggling to survive in despair.

"Cough cough..."

Chen Feng leaned against the corner of the wall, coughing violently, each cough bringing out a large amount of black blood.

His gaze remained resolute, but his body had reached its limit.

"My Buddha...this disciple is incompetent..."

He prayed silently in his heart, his voice so faint it was almost inaudible.

He felt like he was about to die...

"Chen Feng".

Just then.

A majestic, booming, and sinister voice suddenly resounded in his mind.

Chen Feng suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light instantly flashing within them.

"My Buddha?!"

"Head south."

Lin Chuan's voice was indifferent, yet it contained a chilling sense of dread!

But Chen Feng felt inexplicably at ease upon hearing this.

"Beneath the clock tower in the south of the city, there is a special Class A monster that has not yet recovered—the Sands of Time."

"Go and master it."

"If you can control another A-level monster, you will have a glimmer of hope."

"If you fail... that is your fate."

After saying that, Lin Chuan's voice disappeared.

He did not directly help Chen Feng.

He wanted to see if Chen Feng could unleash even greater potential during the crisis.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng sat there blankly for a long time before he suddenly came to his senses.

"South... Clock Tower... Sands of Time..."

A flame of hope rekindled in his eyes.

"Thank you for your guidance, Buddha!!"

He struggled to his feet, ignoring his injuries, and left the basement, rushing towards the south of the city.

……

After giving Chen Feng guidance, Lin Chuan's will also turned towards Qin Yao and Zhou Kai.

Although these two are not as successful as Bei Sha, they are still doing quite well.

They infiltrated two different large base cities.

At this time, the two were like two charlatan leaders, spreading the doctrines of "Rebirth Cult" in the slums.

"Believing in the Buddha's teachings leads to eternal life!"

"By reciting the name of the deity daily, one can be immune to all diseases and ward off evil spirits!"

Qin Yao stood on a wooden box, giving a speech with spittle flying everywhere.

A large group of ragged survivors surrounded them, listening intently.

It's about the same on Zhou Kai's side.

He even pulled off some "miracles," such as drawing food and water with a whimsical pen and distributing them to refugees who were starving to death, winning over many people with tangible benefits.

"This is all thanks to the Buddha's grace and compassion..."

"Those who have faith in Buddha can be reborn in the Pure Land, and the virtuous can ascend to the Pure Land."

Zhou Kai spoke with a firm tone, and the number of believers gathered under his command numbered in the thousands...

After observing the two for a moment, Lin Chuan was about to withdraw his will.

Suddenly, he realized that the base city where Zhou Kai was located was not simple at all!

Because a familiar flag was flying on the city wall of the base city where Zhou Kai was located.

It has a black background with gold trim, and is embroidered with ten continuous mountain peaks.

That is... the banner of the Great Xin Dynasty—the [Ten Mountains Banner]!

"The remnants of the Great Xin Dynasty government?"

Lin Chuan was somewhat taken aback.

It should be noted that in Qinglong County, and even throughout the entire Yanmang Province, the government of the Great Xin Dynasty had long been a mere shell of its former self.

In various places, the forces of the supernatural beings held sway, government agencies were paralyzed, and the army was largely wiped out by supernatural events.

Based on previous broadcast signals, Lin Chuan had always believed that... the government of the Great Xin Dynasty was gone.

Because back then, even the capital of the Great Xin Dynasty fell!

But now, in this base city far away from Gyeongyong County.

He was surprised to see orderly streets, fully armed regular troops, and government agencies that were still functioning.

He even sensed several extremely subtle yet exceptionally powerful fluctuations of rules lurking deep within the city.

That was... a rule fluctuation belonging to the S-rank forbidden category!

But in a moment of reflection, Lin Chuan felt relieved.

The government of the Great Xin Dynasty, after all, ruled this land for hundreds of years!

Even if a sudden catastrophe occurs, even if supernatural events break out across the territory... the government of the Great Xin Dynasty will not be completely wiped out.

Even if only some remnants of government institutions remain, order can be quickly restored!

"Zhou Kai".

Lin Chuan's voice rang directly in Zhou Kai's mind.

Zhou Kai, who was about to distribute "steamed buns" to his followers, was so frightened that his hand trembled and the steamed bun he drew with the spoof pen instantly turned into a puddle of ink.

"Me...I'm Buddha?!"

He immediately knelt down, trembling.

"Don't be nervous."

Lin Chuan said calmly.

"This base city is not simple."

"I need you to do one thing."

"That means finding a way to infiltrate the government..."

"I want you... to be my eyes."

"Yes! Your disciple obeys!"

Zhou Kai hurriedly agreed, but inwardly he was groaning.

Infiltrate the government?

This is much harder than fooling ordinary people.

However, since it was Buddha's decree, he had to brave even mountains of knives and seas of fire.

"Oh, right, Buddha."

Zhou Kai suddenly remembered something and quickly reported it to his supervisor.

"I have recently recruited a follower, who is a minor official here."

"From him, I heard some... very surprising news."

"explain."

"It is said... that Japan, which has already been destroyed..."

Zhou Kai swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly.

"The people there... have all come back to life."

"Come back to life?" Lin Chuan frowned.

"Yes, but it doesn't look like a normal living person."

"That clerk said those people had become very twisted and dangerous...like...ghost slaves? But not like ordinary ghost slaves..."

"Moreover, the entire sky above Japan is shrouded in a strange pink mist."

"The fog... is spreading outwards."

"It has now spread to the border of the 'Flame Dragon Empire,' and it's not far from our Great Xin Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan's heart sank.

The Flame Dragon Empire.

That was the oldest empire on the continent of Dongsheng! It was also the suzerain state of the Great Xin Dynasty.

The Flame Dragon Empire boasts a long history and unfathomable depths...

It's even called the Land of Divine Revelation!

Not long ago, the radio in the City of Rebirth received a broadcast frequency.

According to its contents, Lin Chuan learned that during the terrifying resurgence of the apocalypse, the Flame Dragon Empire... had not fallen and was even able to maintain basic order!

"Pink mist..."

"To bring the dead back to life..."

Lin Chuan instinctively sensed that what was spreading from Japan was an even more terrifying trouble than the [Forest of a Thousand Eyes].

"Is there anything else?" Lin Chuan asked in a deep voice.

"There's...there's more..."

Zhou Kai hesitated for a moment, then said:

"That clerk also said that there are rumors that... the Yanlong Empire seems to have mastered some kind of mysterious and forbidden knowledge."

"They're trying to...create a taboo!!"

"Creating...forbidden elements?"

Lin Chuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

This news shocked him more than any he had ever heard before.

If this is true, then the situation in this world is probably a hundred times more complicated than he imagined.

Humans are not as weak as he imagined.

Lin Chuan calmed himself down and then passed on an order to Zhou Kai:

"You continue to lie low and gather intelligence."

"Report any disturbance to me immediately."

"Yes! Buddha!!"

Zhou Kai responded respectfully and quickly.

After withdrawing his consciousness from him, Lin Chuan felt an even stronger sense of urgency...

The [Thousand Eyes Forest] north of the City of Rebirth has not yet been resolved.

The eerie mist that originated in Japan is now spreading towards the Great Xin Dynasty...

Who knows when, Qinglong County, where I live, will also be affected.

And that Flame Dragon Empire... it could also be a potential threat!!

The worst part is that he's also being marked by a terrifying, unknown, mysterious old man, and by an SSS-level, third-tier forbidden time...

"In this world, being a human being, being cunning, being taboo... none of it is easy!!"

Lin Chuan couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings).
