I was a charlatan in India

To say that we're taking over this space is truly a godsend opportunity.

Both Shenhe and the divine nature require the power of arduous cultivation to recover. Before their injuries are healed, they can only rely on internal energy consumption and cannot respond to external stimuli.

In other words, the power over this space now rests with the incense ash body that identifies itself as Shenhe.

Moreover, she doesn't have to worry about pollution.

Because believers are the true self and divinity, what does it have to do with me!

As long as my four followers don't go mad, it's practically like getting the power of ascetic training for free!

If the physical body and divinity are allowed to continue fighting each other, this situation could even continue indefinitely!

Maintaining this is quite simple: just suppress the power of asceticism to a level that is insufficient for healing.

In this way, the divinity will remain on standby, and the physical body has little chance of recovery. This divine kingdom will be mine from now on!

In the future, through blessings, it's not impossible to truly obtain a body, replace the original body, return to reality, and become a happy little superhero!

The original intention of Xiang Hui's body is really similar to that of Shenhe.

They did not covet divine power; their plan was to become slightly stronger and then return to the modern world to enjoy life.

Compared to the struggles of wits and courage with believers and divinity, modern life is clearly happier.

And you know what, with the current efficiency of the power of arduous cultivation, achieving this is really not far off.

It's a bit unethical.

But if the original body were conscious, it would probably want me to do this.

In any case, compared to that terrifying divinity, my consciousness is clearly more reliable.

Don't say it yet.

If Xiang Hui had asked Shenhe about it, he probably would have received a positive answer.

After all, her ideology is very similar to Shenhe's, and the judgments she makes naturally conform to Shenhe's personality and values.

Let me see how this consumes the energy of my arduous training...

Incense Ash made the same decision as Shenhe.

With a wave of his hand, he fulfilled the wishes of a large number of believers!

However, this time it's completely different from the one in Shenhe.

Last time, most believers were unconscious and not many made wishes, so the situation was still somewhat under control.

Shenhe even relied on Arti's cooperation to squeeze out all the power of his ascetic practice.

But this time, the believers are generally clear-headed.

Although the game drew away a large number of people, there are still quite a few people in the city who make offerings and prayers, and what they ask for is mostly simple and easy to understand.

Money and beauty!

Splash...

Suddenly, a large amount of money appeared out of nowhere in Varanasi, and believers who had recently prayed for wealth instantly possessed a large amount of currency!

As for those who seek out beautiful women, they can only sigh in vain.

After all, a person is worth 300 square meters, and even incense ash and one's body cannot provide that.

Of course, there are also some other random wishes, some serious and some not.

...As long as it's not expensive, I'll satisfy all your needs!

As a result, Varanasi entered a new level of chaos.

"Just this once, but you're not allowed to tell your brother..."

"Son, Dad's thought it through. From now on, you're my dad, and I'm your dad too. We'll each be our own dad!"

"I know you're always sneaking glances at my feet!"

"Oh, oh, oh, this is...!"

Humanity cannot be saved.

Within this lies a crucial wish: to fulfill Arti's previous pilgrimage.

"I want to go back to Brother Da Tian's side."

At first, Xiang Hui didn't pay attention to her body, until her cultivation power was drained away like a flood, and then she realized something was wrong!

This wish requires such a huge amount of time!

Arti was holed up in the house, looking sullen.

Big Brother Tian is ignoring me.

snort!

Suddenly, a gentle female voice rang in my mind.

"As you wish, as you wish, as you wish..."

Then, something unexpected happened!

Arti felt like a noodle, being stretched very, very long.

Surrounded by a dark blue tunnel, her head raced ahead, while her legs stretched thousands of kilometers away.

Even further.

Because she transcends time.

I don’t know how much time passed, it seemed like two or three thousand years, or it seemed like just a moment, when a white light appeared in front of us.

Arti was completely out of control and grabbed it headfirst!

Only then did I realize that my body was gradually catching up with my speed and returning to my side.

The surroundings were a completely unfamiliar world.

A man in his early twenties sat on the hospital bed.

He was dressed in strange blue and white clothes and had dark brown eyes unlike any I had ever seen in Varanasi.

Beneath his black, tousled hair was a slightly melancholic face.

You know what, it's actually quite pretty.

Arti thought that if she ever met Brother Da Tian, ​​she hoped she could have his looks too.

However, this person is very strange. He keeps holding a transparent bottle with his mouth open and doesn't move.

He's probably an idiot.

My dear brother, you can't be so naive.

Arti stared for a while, hesitating about how to bring up the subject and inquire about Brother Da Tian's whereabouts.

But this person acted as if he didn't see him at all, not even blinking.

Hey, aren't your eyes dry?

After hesitating for a moment, Arti mustered up her courage and reached out her little hand to help Shenhe close his eyes.

Come to think of it, I think I just heard "as you wish" said.

Isn't that how the Great Heavenly Brother fulfills the wishes of believers?

My only wish lately is...

In other words, Brother Da Tian is really nearby!

Arti looked at the unfamiliar surroundings and instantly became happy.

It turns out that Brother Da Tian really was busy with something, and he didn't abandon me!

I was so scared! I was so scared!

Okay, hehe.

Ok……

The guy who just responded to me is probably like the one I helped Brother Da Tian before—someone who…

Hmm.

Arti was a little unhappy again.

She felt that someone had taken her place!

I should be the one standing next to Brother Da Tian!

But it's okay.

Hmph, I'm near Brother Da Tian right now. Once I find him, I'll tell all about you!

Let me look... Brother Datian, where are you?

Arti completely ignored the idiot next to him who couldn't even close his eyes.

This world is a bit scary.

Everyone remained motionless.

No, Arti soon discovered that it wasn't that people weren't moving, but that the whole world had come to a standstill.

Leaves floated in mid-air, and fish surfaced, but neither made any further move.

The changes only occur slowly when Arti touches it.

Artie kindly pushed a fish back into the pool to prevent it from dying from being out of the water for too long.

Then, I felt completely lost.

Everything around me was unfamiliar.

The buildings were unlike anything I'd ever seen before, the clothing was strange, the ground was unusually smooth, and there were countless sedan chairs on it.

The people here are very wealthy; sedan chairs are placed all over the ground, but no one is guarding them.

What is Brother Datian doing here?

Artie searched and looked around, trying to find something familiar, but she didn't recognize anything in any of the surroundings, and there was no interaction with anything.

"Waaah... Big Brother Tian, ​​Artie is so scared."

However, no one could help her.

Because Shenhe was fighting with itself two thousand years ago, this era was almost completely frozen.

She waited for a very long time, but no savior came.

The good news is that the food here looks somewhat familiar.

Arti found the pancake shop, took a bite, and found it to be far more delicious than anything he had ever eaten before.

Brother Da Tian, ​​you wouldn't be here secretly eating something, would you...?

Before she knew it, she had become angry again, and even crushed the sesame seed cake in her hand, leaving many crumbs.

But after leaving Arti for a distance, the remnant abruptly stopped in mid-air, frozen along with this era.
