Ji Lingguang reached out his hand blankly, pointed at himself, and questioned his soul: "The forces in the Nine Heavens are so complex and intertwined. With my own strength, wouldn't that be like an egg against a rock? How can I challenge them alone?"

"Don't underestimate yourself." The incarnation of Heaven, who always had a stern expression, as if looking down upon all living things from a high position, now showed some patience for the first time in history. He lowered his head slightly, looked at Ji Lingguang with gentle eyes, and reminded him one by one:

"The longsword in your hand has accompanied you through hundreds and thousands of battles, drinking the blood of countless powerful enemies and long since imbued with boundless divine power... It is your most solid support."

"And the courage in your heart comes from the depths of your soul. It was honed by you through countless life-and-death trials, becoming as solid as a rock, no less than Qi Mo's. And your passion for moving forward is enough to make those with evil intentions flee at the first sign of danger."

As He spoke, the corners of His eyes curved slightly in a place where Ji Lingguang couldn't see, and He thought to Himself: Even though He is trapped in this world and the puppet boss in the game world, after experiencing the hardships of so many lifetimes, He has developed self-awareness, so this layout is not in vain.

Ji Lingguang clenched his fists, his eyes revealing a resolute look. "I understand. If that's the case, I'll definitely give it my all. However, if I go in rashly, I'm afraid I'll be outnumbered. Is there anything I should be especially careful of?"

The incarnation of Heaven raised his hand slightly, his movements carrying a calmness that seemed to transcend all things.

A glimmer of light flashed like a meteor, disappearing into Ji Lingguang's mind in an almost invisible manner. In an instant, Ji Lingguang felt a stream of information being effortlessly imprinted in the depths of his consciousness.

"The ancient well in the backyard of the Jiang family's old house may seem ordinary, but it is actually a key node where resentment converges. However, this seemingly dangerous node is also the weakest flaw in their defense."

“As for those nameless tablets enshrined in the Ren family ancestral hall, each one holds a hidden secret, including the key spells to control resentment. You need to maneuver skillfully, utilizing the knowledge from the classics, starting with these two areas, and gradually dismantling the roots of resentment.” The incarnation of Heaven continued, his tone becoming increasingly unquestionable.

Ji Lingguang nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Seeing this, the Incarnation of Heaven narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Ji Lingguang, and continued, "Previously, most of the divine power of Su Mohui and others was drifting between heaven and earth for many years. Although it has been integrated now, it is inevitable that some fragments of divine power have been sealed away by those with ulterior motives. You still need to explore and integrate them. Remember, every tiny fluctuation of divine power has the potential to become a key opportunity to turn the tide of the battle."

In just a few breaths, Ji Lingguang's expression changed from initial bewilderment to a solemn expression. The nightmare-like experience of the past flooded back into his mind like a tide.

After all, his soul had once been imprisoned by the Nasipan Church using strange forbidden techniques. In that dark, bloody, and evil place, he had suffered inhuman torture. This experience had made him realize one thing:

If even a trace of divine power fell into the hands of someone with ill intentions, the consequences would be disastrous! Not only would it disrupt the mind of the owner of the divine power, plunging them into endless pain and confusion, but it would also hinder their actions at critical moments, rendering all their plans and efforts in vain.

Speaking of this, Ji Lingguang's thoughts drifted back to the Gray Realm, back to what happened before his soul returned to the Ninth Heaven, and exactly where he is now, in this mixed land of good and bad people.

At that time, his misled parents believed the rumors and mistakenly thought that he was no longer alive. Filled with sorrow, they solemnly placed the tablet engraved with his original name "Ji Guang" in the ancestral hall.

In the gray world, this seemingly ordinary action is actually a self-protection measure out of helplessness.

Because in this chaotic place, only direct relatives can carve the name of the deceased on the tablet, and protect them with the power of family blood and the forbidden barrier of the ancestral hall. Only then will the divine power in the deceased's body not be coveted by people with ulterior motives and become a terrifying force for them to refine evil forbidden techniques and attempt to subvert the order of heaven and earth.

After all, the bodies of people who died of natural causes in the Gray Realm will not be buried or cremated - because the existence of the Fated Space and the Underworld affects the order of heaven and earth in the Gray Realm, which can help prevent the corpse from decaying.

Therefore, in the secret places of the Gray Realm, or in the basement of some family ancestral halls, one can see strange scenes: those who have passed away lie quietly in stone coffins, or are placed on special altars, their faces look lifelike, as if they have just fallen into a long sleep.

For the living, if they could come here from time to time and see their deceased loved ones whom they miss day and night, and see them so quiet and peaceful, it would be better than leaving only a cold portrait, right?

When talking about this matter, I have to mention the situation when my body was merged.

To put it bluntly, if his consciousness dissipated in another body on the First Continent, and then his soul returned to the body in the Gray Realm after going through countless hardships, the divine power in his body would have been cursed with an unbreakable curse by the restrictions of the Fated Space and the Ancestral Hall.

After the fusion, he could often feel the obstruction that followed him like a shadow, as if he was being suppressed by an invisible hand. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape the restraint of this force.

Fortunately, before leaving the First Continent, he was instructed by You Fuyao to find Su Mohui and use the other party's divine power and the power of time and space to transform and integrate the body prepared for him by the Xipan Church.

It was precisely because of this that, with the help of Su Mohui, the Lord of the Netherworld Palace, the degree of restriction placed on Ji Guang's body in the Gray Realm was reduced to the minimum.

When his parents became aware of his soul and engraved his birth date and new name "Ji Lingguang" into the family tree, he was able to use the divine power that could not be used by others, and it finally could no longer interfere with him.

This kindness, like a towering mountain, weighed heavily on his heart, and also strengthened his determination to protect the people around him and defend this world.

He knows very well that the road ahead may be full of thorns and dangers, but in order to protect the pure land in his heart and to repay this kindness, he is willing to go through fire and water and even die.

Thinking of this, Ji Lingguang nodded heavily and said in a firm tone: "I understand."

"Do you still remember the broken book given to you by the scholar-looking man in the restaurant before?" The incarnation of Heaven nodded slightly, with a hint of imperceptible admiration flashing in his eyes, and pointed to the broken book left by Qi Mo on the ground and said.
