Horror Resurrection: I Evolve Starting with the Ghost Buddha

As the group entered the area of ​​the Kunlun Ruins mountain range.

The surrounding scenery began to change strangely.

The mountains, rocks, and trees that were once clearly visible began to become blurry and distorted, like wax figures melted by high temperatures.

The air became thick, damp, and cold, carrying a nauseating smell of mold and blood.

Zhou Kai subconsciously glanced back.

This sight sent chills down his spine.

The path we came from behind has disappeared.

Instead, there were layers of indescribable, flat, and chaotic drawings!

Those paintings depict the path they had just walked, the people of the 749th Bureau of the Flame Dragon Empire standing at the foot of the mountain, and even... the entire world!

Everything was flattened and distorted, turning into bizarre and absurd abstract paintings, suspended in the void.

"What...what the hell is this?!"

Zhou Kai felt a sudden dizziness, as if he were about to become part of that painting.

"Don't look back!"

Ning Shou gave a low shout, his voice carrying a hint of warning.

"Due to the influence of forbidden rules, the space here is clearly disordered. Turning back will make you lose your way, or even lead you into the abyss."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Kai quickly turned his head away, not daring to look any further.

But the fear in his heart grew wildly like weeds.

……

Inside the Temple of Rebirth.

Lin Chuan also witnessed that bizarre scene through Zhou Kai's perspective.

"Spatial folding? Dimensional collapse?"

"No...not only that."

Black light flickered in Lin Chuan's huge eyes, which were flowing with blood and tears.

He opened a panel deep within his consciousness, attempting to obtain information.

However, the panel did not respond.

There were no prompts, no warnings, not even a single character appeared.

"Based on past experience, my panel's cheat code can even analyze and provide hints for SSS-level, ninth-tier forbidden techniques."

"But there's no response now..."

"Could this Kunlun Ruins... be on the same level of terror as that mysterious old man?"

Lin Chuan's heart sank slightly.

Thinking of this, an idea struck him.

The "Book of Omniscience," which had been trapped by him, was instantly released.

"Wow! Boss! You've finally let me out!"

As soon as the book of omniscience came out, he excitedly flipped through the pages.

"Are they going to make me eat something forbidden again? This time I'm going to eat something big! That last shadow wasn't even enough to fill a tooth gap!"

"Shut up!"

Lin Chuan's voice was loud and distorted... carrying an unquestionable majesty and divinity!

"I have something to ask you."

As Lin Chuan's will fell, a light screen constructed from the power of rules appeared in front of the Book of Omniscience.

On the light screen, Zhou Kai's perspective showed the scene of Kunlun Ruins.

"Take a look at this."

Lin Chuan sent a signal to the "Book of Omniscience".

The next moment, the eyes on the cover of the Book of Omniscience darted around and looked at the light screen.

"what?"

"This...this place looks familiar?"

Its pages rustled as it flipped through its vast database.

"Searching for information... Searching..."

"Found it!"

The Book of Omniscience exclaimed excitedly:

"This is... a fragment!"

"Fragments?" Lin Chuan frowned.

"Yes! It's a fragment!"

The voice of the Book of Omniscience became somewhat strange, seemingly carrying a hint of awe and a touch of confusion.

"According to my fragmented memories..."

"A long, long time ago... so long ago that we had no concept of time..."

"There was a big one... that broke."

"This so-called Kunlun Ruins is just a fragment of that giant's body!"

When answering Lin Chuan's questions, the Book of Omniscience regained its arrogant tone and even started referring to itself as "this great one" again.

"What big thing?" Lin Chuan didn't pay attention and asked.

"have no idea."

The Book of Omniscience shuddered and responded:

"My information is incomplete."

"Moreover... information about that giant thing seems to be blocked by some higher-level rule force."

"Even at my peak, I might not have been able to know everything."

Lin Chuan fell silent.

You don't even know about the "Book of Omniscience"?

This Kunlun Ruins is indeed extraordinary!

"but……"

The Book of Omniscience suddenly changed its tone, becoming somewhat lewd.

"Boss, don't you still owe me a chance to 'predict the future'?"

"If it's just to peek at a corner of this fragment, or..."

"Maybe we can find something!"

"Can."

Lin Chuan nodded without hesitation.

"Let's begin then."

"Okay!"

The Book of Omniscience excitedly flipped through its pages.

"Let the gears of fate begin to turn!"

"Let me see what the truth behind this fog really is!"

hum! ! !

As it chanted as if talking to itself.

Twisted, obscure runes began to appear on the pages of the book.

A mysterious fluctuation of rules emanated from the book, attempting to pierce through the mists of time and space and glimpse a trace of the future.

however.

Just then.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

The pages of the Book of Omniscience suddenly began to burn fiercely!

Black flames appeared out of nowhere, carrying an aura of decay, decay, and an irreversible curse, instantly spreading across the entire book.

"Aaaaaah!!! It's so hot!!!"

The Book of Omniscience let out a piercing scream.

"Oh no! We've been hit by a backlash!!"

"What...what the hell is this?!"

"Help, boss! I'm going to be burned to death!!"

Its pages curled and blackened rapidly in the flames, even beginning to peel off piece by piece, as if they would completely disintegrate at any moment, turning into lifeless puzzle pieces.

Upon seeing this, Lin Chuan's entire body rippled with chaotic black light!

boom!!!

A massive force of rules surged from the evil Buddha's golden body, instantly enveloping the Book of Omniscience.

Lin Chuan activated his own rule—[Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere]!

Soon, the chaotic black light clashed violently with the black cursed flames.

Although the cursed flames were extremely strange and stubborn, they were gradually extinguished under Lin Chuan's suppression of the rules.

"Oh no... that was dangerous..."

After the flames went out.

The Book of Omniscience lay suspended in mid-air, billowing black smoke. Its once glossy black cover was now charred black, like a piece of rotten wood struck by lightning.

"Waaaaah... I've lost so much... I've really lost a lot this time..."

It howled and wailed as the pages of the book kept turning.

"My perfect physique..."

"Now you're even more disabled!"

"To recover, I'd need to consume at least ten more... no, a hundred more S-rank forbidden foods!"

"Shut up."

Lin Chuan coldly interrupted its lament.

"What did you see?"

"I...I saw a little bit..."

The Book of Omniscience sobbed as it spoke:

"There are... a lot of people in there."

"A lot of people?" Lin Chuan frowned.

"Yes... a lot... extra... people."

The voice of the Book of Omniscience began to tremble slightly.

"And...they...aren't human..."

"What do you mean?"

"I...I don't remember..."

The Book of Omniscience seems to have experienced some confusion in its memories due to the backlash from just now.

"Anyway... it's just terrifying..."

After saying that, it seemed to have exhausted all its strength and fell into a state of "slumber".

Lin Chuan frowned as he looked at the Omniscient Book, which was nearly "crashing".

"The extra people?"

"None of them are human?"

He turned his gaze back to Zhou Kai's perspective.

……

Inside Kunlun Ruins.

The group had already ventured deep into the fog.

Visibility was decreasing, and we could barely see anything within a few meters around us.

"Light the ghost candle!"

Ning Shou let out a low shout.

He took a red candle from his pocket and lit it.

The eerie green candlelight flickered in the mist, emitting a cold glow that dispelled the surrounding darkness.

Others followed suit, lighting the eerie candles in their hands.

Suddenly, more than thirty green candles lit up in the mist, like a string of will-o'-the-wisps drifting through the mountains.

Zhou Kai gripped the eerie candle tightly in his hand, his heart pounding like thunder.

He always felt that something was watching them from the surrounding mist.

"one two three……"

To ease his tension, he silently counted the number of people in his mind.

"Thirty, thirty-one..."

Including Ning Shou, there are a total of thirty-one people.

"Thirty-two, thirty-three..."

As he counted, Zhou Kai's expression suddenly changed.

"Thirty-four... thirty-five..."

"Sixty...sixty-one...sixty-two..."

Sixty-two?!

Zhou Kai suddenly stopped in his tracks, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

He clearly remembered that the Great Xin Dynasty's demon tamer team at the front, plus the forbidden master 'Ning Shou', only had thirty-one people!

Why...

There will be thirty-one more people?!

He stiffly turned his head to look at the line behind him.

In the flickering candlelight.

Familiar faces came into view.

They all walked silently with their heads down, each holding a strange candle in their hand.

Nothing unusual.

but……

The number of people is incorrect!

That's really not right!

"Feed...that guy..."

Zhou Kai's voice trembled as he tried to call out to the person in front of him.

"What's wrong?"

One of the demon tamers walking in front of him turned around and asked somewhat impatiently.

That face...

Zhou Kai knew him.

He is the director of another base city in the north, named Wang Gang.

"N-nothing..."

Zhou Kai swallowed hard, forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart.

He dared not say it.

Because he discovered...

He couldn't tell which were the original people and which were...

Extra people!

In his memory, these sixty-two people...

seem……

I've been in the team from the very beginning!

"No...no..."

Zhou Kai felt like his brain was about to explode.

"My memory... is messed up?"

Or perhaps...

He looked at the strange candle in his hand.

The eerie green flames seemed to mock his ignorance and fear.

Sixty-two people.

Sixty-two eerie candles.

Deep within the silent and eerie Kunlun Ruins.

They formed a long line and slowly made their way into the unknown depths of the mountains.
