Rules of the Strange: I Became a God in a Bizarre World Through Taoist Arts

[Hmm...that actually makes some sense!]

[After I moved to the purification zone, I brushed up on my knowledge of Xuanmen (Taoist philosophy). I only saw that Buddhism advocates compassion, but I didn't see that Sister Shen's Taoism also has such doctrines. So, maybe, perhaps, no?]

From what I understand, the Xuanmen scriptures we have inherited are only a superficial understanding of what came before. However, I personally believe that Sister Shen will not be able to uphold her own path and will not be influenced by strange phenomena.

[Heh, that sounds nice. Shen Xingzhuo is just a mascot you Tianxia people have created, isn't she? Don't you even look at how obvious her emotional fluctuations were in "Guanyin Brocade"? She can ruthlessly kill this innocent maid now, what will she do later…]

The bullet comments appearing on the sky are displayed one word at a time, like a typewriter effect, to accommodate the reading difficulties suffered by the interstellar people after being corrupted by the strange tales.

Therefore, before the sentence could be fully displayed, it was blocked by Guan Shanyue's order.

Inside the command center.

Qin Shi and History Bro are on high alert, ready to respond.

"Other countries, under our deterrence, will not, and dare not, knowingly violate these rules again."

"Then, the source of this seemingly out-of-the-box comment is worth pondering..."

Guan Shanyue tapped the table absently as he calmly analyzed the situation.

The history guy nodded and pointed out the magnified details on the screen.

"It points out the maid's innocence so directly, I think that's a flaw."

Guan Shanyue looked at him, signaling him to continue.

"Although Sister Shen's reasoning process had made it clear that the maid who was thrown out was a pawn being used by someone."

But... what the real past was like, none of us know!

Qin Shi clapped his hands, continuing the history guy's reasoning: "So the fact that it could so clearly state the maid's identity card means..."

"It could be a ghost story itself!"

Qin Shi and History Bro spoke in unison.

Guan Shanyue looked at the two of them with admiration and nodded.

"Well said." Her gaze slowly swept around before she continued, "But next, we need to secretly plan ahead, making good use of the fact that it's stirring up trouble, to obtain useful information in advance, and be ready to provide Xingzhuo with intelligence at any time!"

Guan Shanyue's first beat sealed the deal.

History Bro hesitated before speaking, "Captain Guan, if we allow ghost stories to spread provocative remarks without restraint, won't it really have an impact on the public?"

We finally achieved this situation with great difficulty...

Guan Shanyue shook his head.

"Don't worry."

Her tone was calm. "Firstly, our people have already developed strong confidence in Xingzhuo."

This confidence didn't arise out of thin air; it was gradually built up after witnessing her achievements firsthand.

"Besides, why didn't you circulate ghost stories to stir things up before? Was it because you disdained them?"

Guan Shanyue chuckled softly.

"It's because Xingzhuo's consecutive victories threw him off balance."

The history guy suddenly realized and nodded.

Guan Shanyue leaned her whole body back against the chair.

Secondly, focus on the major issues and let go of the minor ones.

"The instigation by ghost stories is minor. What's major is that they actively reveal their intentions, what they care about, what they fear, and what they want to sow discord."

"What we need to do now is not to shut it up, but to listen to what it has to say, and then find out what it dares not say from what it says."

Guan Shanyue withdrew his gaze and returned it to the light screen displaying the sky.

"Therefore, proceed as planned."

"We can't fight alongside Xingzhuo, but at least we can't be useless cowards who only depend on her for survival!"
