A supporting character in a romance anime? I became a god using a rat talisman.

Qianyu paused for a second.

He looked down at his chest, where an octagonal stone talisman was emitting a soft glow through the fabric of his shirt.

Sheep Talisman.

The sheep talisman that Qianyu had always disdained and kept in his pocket as decoration was now releasing a layer of soul shield, completely enveloping his body.

The dragon soul in mid-air twisted violently, its originally arrogant aura dimmed considerably.

"This power..."

The Holy Lord stared at Qian Yu's pocket through gritted teeth in the air, instantly recognizing the source of that power.

That's the magic of the sheep charm!

"Valon!!!"

The Lord's soul roared with fury.

He was trembling with rage in mid-air, finally realizing that he had been tricked by that greedy clown!

Valmont initially lied to Jackie Chan, claiming that the Sheep Charm had been accidentally stolen.

As a result, that bastard actually secretly slipped the sheep talisman to this person!

Qianyu stood still and patted her chest.

He had always considered the Sheep Talisman a useless item. After obtaining it, he simply stuffed it into his pocket and never bothered with it again because it lacked the Tiger Talisman for harmonization and had significant side effects.

Unexpectedly, this "dust-collecting prop" actually saved his life at the critical moment of soul possession.

Qianyu silently apologized to the sheep talisman in her heart.

"Lao Yang, I was wrong."

"I shouldn't have called you a piece of trash. From now on, I really have to treat you like royalty."

After confirming that he was in a state of absolute soul defense, Qianyu immediately seized the opportunity and began to solicit information from the Holy Lord in mid-air.

"Holy Lord, you have nothing left now. I've taken over the Shadow Legion, you abandoned your host, and the possession attempt failed."

"You're at your wit's end now, old Deng."

The Holy Lord's dragon soul circled once in the air, and his scarlet vertical pupils gradually regained their composure.

"You think you've won by forcing me back once? So what if I can't possess you?"

"There are plenty of ordinary people in this world who can serve as mere shells!"

"As long as we find that thing...as long as we change history!"

"I will still take back everything that is rightfully mine!"

"At that time, even the trace of your existence as an ant will be completely erased!"

After saying that, the Holy Lord transformed into a blur and pierced through the tin roof of the warehouse, disappearing right under Qian Yu's nose.

Qianyu stood there, her brows furrowed tightly.

He pondered the words the other person had left behind before departing.

Changing history?

What can a soul that has been reduced to its original form use to change history?

A flash of inspiration struck Qianyu.

History of Time!

The core prop in "Jackie Chan Adventures" is a forbidden book that can alter reality and rewrite cause and effect.

In the story, Shendu used it to rewrite the entire timeline, turning himself into a tyrant who ruled the world.

Sensing something was wrong, Qianyu rushed out of the warehouse. Fog rushed in, and the outside was deserted, without even a stray dog.

The Holy Lord has long since vanished.

Qianyu stood in the fog, her mind racing.

The Holy Lord is currently in a spirit state, and his actions are limited, but he is not powerless. Given his understanding of this world, it is only a matter of time before he finds the Book of Time.

If I want to get ahead of him, I'll need someone's help.

……

Fifteen minutes later.

San Francisco's Chinatown.

In front of Old Man's Antique Shop.

Qianyu knocked urgently on the wooden door.

In the store.

In the dim light, a withered old man wearing reading glasses and a yellow vest was engrossed in a mountain of old papers, frowning as he studied an extremely obscure ancient magic book.

At the top of the stairs on the second floor, a quirky little girl with short hair wearing an orange short-sleeved shirt heard the noise.

"It must be Uncle Long coming back after finishing his business!"

She excitedly ran down the stairs and pulled open the shop door.

What appeared before Xiaoyu was a handsome young man wearing an unfamiliar charcoal gray school uniform.

"Um...who are you looking for?"

Xiaoyu blinked in confusion, looking Qianyu up and down.

Inside the house came my father's classic, sarcastic complaints.

The old man didn't even look up, still holding the magnifying glass in his hand, and impatiently dragged out his words.

"Xiaoyu—"

"Tell everyone outside that Dad's antique shop is closed today! Dad's too busy to serve customers!"

Faced with this all-too-familiar order to leave.

Qianyu ignored Xiaoyu at the door, strode into the store, and switched to fluent, pure Chinese, getting straight to the point.

"Sir, I'm not here to buy antiques. I have an urgent matter and need your help."

The old man adjusted his reading glasses, which had slipped down to the tip of his nose, and then slightly raised his head.

He glanced at the uninvited guest from the top of his glasses, as if he were looking at an annoying insurance salesman.

"oops."

The old man waved his hand impatiently to shoo them away.

"Dad's antique shop isn't a charity! If you're in trouble, call the police! Turn left and go somewhere else!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't disturb Dad's research!"

Time was of the essence; there was no time to waste arguing with this old man.

Qianyu stopped talking nonsense, took out the sheep talisman from her pocket and slapped it on the glass of the counter.

"Dad, I don't have time to explain to you slowly."

“I urgently need to know the exact location of the historical record. I believe you will find a way to locate it.”

Next to the counter.

Xiao Yu, who had been standing nearby, widened her eyes instantly when she saw the stone that Qian Yu was holding.

She gasped, grabbed her father's arm, and whispered excitedly.

"Dad! That, that, that... what he's holding is a talisman!"

Chapter 174 Fire Demon

"Oh dear! The talisman isn't important!"

Unexpectedly, the old man completely ignored the sheep talisman on the table and stared at Qianyu with a scrutinizing gaze.

"The important question is, how did you come to know about the existence of the Book of History?"

"That history book records the wondrous history of all things in the world, including the past, present, and even the future."

"Anyone who attempts to touch or alter even a single stroke of this scroll will inevitably suffer a terrifying backlash!"

Qianyu keenly sensed the key point in her father's words.

The old man's fear of the history books of time far outweighed his fear of that stone that could make one's soul leave the body.

"Wait, you've misunderstood."

"It is not I who want to rewrite history, but the Holy Lord."

Qianyu quickly clarified and put the sheep talisman back into her pocket.

"He attempted to use history books to reset the reality of the entire world."

"Saint what?"

"Holy Lord."

The old man and Xiaoyu exchanged a glance. Xiaoyu shrugged, and the old man shook his head.

Both of them had the same expression on their faces: "Never heard of this before."

Qianyu forgot that in this timeline, Jackie Chan hadn't even met Shendu yet, so his father naturally couldn't possibly know about this character.

Time was of the essence, so he had no choice but to patiently begin explaining the background information at an extremely fast pace.

From the eight ancient demons who ruled the earth, to the downfall of the Fire Demon Lord, and then to the twelve zodiac talismans that carried his original magic power scattered around the world.

Upon hearing this ancient secret, the old man's eyebrows furrowed into a knot, and he looked at Qianyu suspiciously.

A young man dressed in a Japanese high school uniform comes to an antique shop in San Francisco, seemingly knowledgeable about ancient demons and magical secrets.

This looks suspicious no matter how you look at it.

How do you know all this?
