I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

Secondly, there's the ability to see ghosts. The exorcist Lu Ban met before, who was also passionate about mysticism, also had the ability to see ghosts. Moreover, he once told Lu Ban that in his grandfather's generation, there seemed to be some kind of superhuman beings with special abilities, but they have now disappeared.

Finally, there's the chaotic era. Since things are certainly peaceful now, it refers to the past. This world did indeed experience some great upheavals in the past, so this mission might involve the past.

Did these people with supernatural abilities in the past know anything about the evil god sealed in this world?

Moreover, the problem of Jiangcheng Mountain still needs to be solved.

The [Destiny Jade] needed for the Lu Ban Essence should also come from this world; perhaps we can obtain information from these people.

He looked at the last snowman.

This snowman has four eyes, which are dark purple in color. It looks strangely eerie, and I dare not look at it a second time.

【amazing Grace】

As dusk falls, the earth falls into a deathly silence, evil flourishes, and madness never truly departs.

On this land, a new faith is coalescing; fanaticism, betrayal, piety, blasphemy—countless forms of madness are spreading unchecked.

In some regions, legend has it that a deity is about to descend, and believers are preparing rituals with extraordinary fervor.

You have come here to seek the true, slumbering miracle and to unleash it.

"A miracle has occurred; this is a gift from the Lord!"

Lu Ban frowned slightly when he saw the mission description.

This is clearly the alien land of Twilight City, and speaking of the beliefs and religions of Twilight City...

Isn't it myself?

Could it be that after I left this alien land, those four-eyed guys who remained didn't realize they had been deceived, but instead believed that the paradise was real and regarded it as a miracle, worshipping Lu Ban as a god?

This is kind of funny.

Lu Ban guessed that this mission might be similar to the previous mission in the deep sea, which was to release some sealed evil gods or evil god creations in the City of Dusk. In the alien realm where the gods have fallen, there are probably quite a few such things.

He felt that such tasks were not very valuable, mainly because they did not yield much information; they were the kind of classic errand-running tasks where you had to go to a certain place and kill a certain number of monsters.

"So tired, so good, and I'm hungry."

Qin Tiantian ran back, looking covered in sweat.

"Shall we go get hot pot?"

It's only four o'clock in the afternoon.

However, considering that Feng Yu probably hadn't eaten yet, Lu Ban agreed.

I went home and used the ingredients from the refrigerator to make a hot pot, which was steaming hot.

The news broadcasts a series of stories about the aftermath of various disasters, making it seem like the world is getting better.

While eating, Qin Tiantian suddenly remembered something and glanced at the dishes that hadn't been cooked yet.

"Speaking of which, didn't you make dumplings with the filling you made for lunch?"

Qin Tiantian asked Lu Ban.

No, not at all.

Lu Ban glanced at Feng Yu.

"Want to eat dumplings?"

Feng Yu asked Qin Tiantian gently.

"I didn't really think about it that way, I was just curious."

Qin Tiantian felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange. Maybe those two lumps of dumpling filling contained some secret, and it would be best if she didn't ask about it.

"But I haven't had dumplings in a long time either. How about we make dumplings tomorrow? It'll create a festive atmosphere for the New Year."

Feng Yu continued.

"Great!"

Qin Tiantian agreed.

"But we don't have any ground meat at home, and the supermarket and wet market might not be open tomorrow, so we probably won't be able to buy fresh ground meat..."

Lu Ban wanted to explain, but suddenly noticed Feng Yu's gaze.

Could it be the minced meat that Feng Yu was talking about...?

Lu Ban decided not to think about it too much.

Chapter 549 [The Nine Schools]

night.

Feng Yu left Lu Ban's house, taking Qin Tiantian with him as well.

The house became quiet and deserted again.

Lu Ban rubbed Leica's head and then went downstairs.

The three snowmen that Qin Tiantian had built are still there, each displaying its own eeriness.

After a day of sunshine, much of the snow melted, and it should be completely melted away in a few more days, revealing the earth once more.

As the saying goes, a timely snowfall promises a bumper harvest. I wonder if this heavy snow caused by the evil god will make this year's harvest even better.

Of the three snowmen, Lu Ban first eliminated the last one.

The City of Dusk was not a foreign land he needed to pay attention to; its connection to him was too small.

As for whether it's the ruined capital or this world, Lu Ban felt that Jiangcheng Mountain was the one he needed to focus on understanding, since it was right next to his home. If there were any strange things there, he needed to deal with them as soon as possible.

Who knows, this quest might even lead to finding fellow travelers, and I might just end up picking up a Drizzt.

As for Crane Cry Daoist's "Song in the Rain," it may not be in the ruined capital, and there may not even be a real Crane Cry Daoist. Lu Ban roughly understood this after using the ten consecutive [Madman's Knowledge].

"It's just you."

Lu Ban made his decision.

A few days later, Lu Ban packed his luggage, sent messages to Qin Tiantian, Feng Yu and others, and then went downstairs again.

The snow had almost completely melted, but the three snowmen still stood in the same spot.

Lu Ban went to the snowman in the middle and gently pushed it.

This task only has two difficulty levels: [Alienation] and [Ascension]. Lu Ban did not hesitate and directly chose the [Ascension] difficulty.

At this point, choosing an easy difficulty level is no different from being a lazy bum.

The next moment, the snowman turned into falling snowflakes, enveloping Lu Ban within them.

The vast expanse of snow transformed into descriptive text, cascading down like a waterfall.

[Nine Streams]

In a chaotic world, amidst turmoil and turmoil, the great edifice is on the verge of collapse, and the bizarre resurges. All sorts of people, from the most wicked, meet again in the martial world.

[The ability to see ghosts, a storyteller, a paper cutter, a corpse slayer, a star hunter, a mountain mover, and a hundred-mile traveler]

Even the lowest of the low have their own world, and the Mystic Lord is the king of the underworld. Every ten years, all sorts of extraordinary people gather at Jiangcheng Mountain, just to decide who will be the new Mystic Lord.

However, with foreign troops stirring and the turbulent situation becoming increasingly confusing, it remains to be seen whether destiny will come to pass.

[Task Difficulty: Enhanced]

[Mission Objective: To become a Mystic Lord]

[Mission Objective: Investigate the secrets of Jiangcheng Mountain]

"Who agrees with what I just said, and who disagrees?"

[Enter the Silent Land?]

【whether】

"You want me to be the one in charge?"

Lu Ban felt that he was just an ordinary chosen one, so why did he have to become the leader of these low-class people?

However, since the Silent Land had already been chosen for him, Lu Ban could only reluctantly accept the position.

At worst, you can just pass the leadership to someone else after you've completed the task. Wouldn't that be a wonderful thing?

As for the secret of Jiangcheng Mountain, Lu Ban was already very curious, and after the Silent Land mentioned it, he became even more curious.

Pressing "Yes," Lu Ban saw that the snowflakes transformed into some blurry images, taking on different colors.

A sudden dizzying sensation followed, and the surrounding world melted away.

This was the first time he had used the Silent Lands' passage while completing a mission in his own world.

The flow of time in the Silent Land is different from that in the outside world.

The time ratio for this trip is 1:1.

[Heading to destination]

Lu Ban felt as if he had been hit by a train, his bones almost falling apart, or as if he had been submerged in water, completely at a loss.

The next moment, Lu Ban's feet touched the solid ground.

He found himself on a train.

This train was clearly more dilapidated than modern ones, and it didn't have any sleeper berths, first-class seats, or second-class seats; it only had seat tickets.

The people sitting on the train were a diverse bunch, most of them dressed in old-fashioned clothes, and their eyes were mostly numb and indifferent.

A middle-aged man carrying a shoulder pole passed by, saying "Make way" while enduring disapproving glances from both sides.

"Jiangcheng is almost here, Jiangcheng is almost here."

The train conductor called out as he walked over, meeting the middle-aged man face to face.

"Get off quickly if you want, don't take up space here."

"Okay, okay."

The middle-aged man arrived at the stop where he was to get off the bus.
