I was a charlatan in India

Arti visited the shrine time and time again.

She would occasionally feel discouraged, even doubting whether she had mistaken someone for someone else, so she would go out to search again, and then return to the Shen River by making a wish.

After going through it again and again, she finally realized that this guy was her beloved older brother.

After all, Arti tried many angles, such as going back behind Da Tian Gege, or grabbing Da Tian Gege's hand.

...Then she grabbed Shenhe's hand.

To be honest, this fool is far from the ideal brother she admires.

But Arti still wanted to awaken Shenhe.

At least he's quite handsome.

Moreover, perhaps Shenhe, like his father, suddenly went mad.

All Arti can do, of course, is to worship and make wishes.

Her knees were scraped raw, painful and itchy, but she didn't even wish to heal them.

Each time I complete a round of pilgrimages, my first wish is to awaken the Shen River.

Finally, with another surge of arduous training, the energy was sufficient.

"As you wish..."

Sudden.

Meanwhile, Shenhe, who was frantically beating the divine, was directly extracted from space and quickly flew to the modern world!

At the same time, Xiang Hui's body tensed up and he looked toward the divine.

Since the original body has disappeared, the only thing left to suppress divinity is herself.

Fortunately, the other party did not take any action, as if they could only wait for their cultivation power to be sufficient to repair themselves in one fell swoop.

Of course, the true self is still in a state of chaos.

As consciousness returned, Shenhe, dressed in a hospital gown, shrugged and laughed maniacally.

"Hehehe... I must survive!"

Arti was so startled that he stumbled and retreated several steps.

Guo, he really is a fool!

This person has something wrong with their brain!

There must be some mistake somewhere, right?

Send me to Brother Datian's side!

"As you wish..."

Arty is now closer to the Shen River!

Shenhe casually picked up a rubber ring and brandished it fiercely.

"Eat my divine power and crash!"

Wow, that's scary!

Arti scrambled away from the attack range.

Fortunately, Shenhe now only has eyes to overthrow the divinity and has not made Arti his target.

Otherwise, even a tiny bit of his arduous cultivation power would be enough to evaporate her along with the hospital.

wrong.

Now, the only thing that allows him to mobilize the power of ascetic practice is the incense ash body that inherited his memories.

Arti sat panting in the corner.

After hearing Shenhe's strange cries again, he was finally convinced that the madman was indeed Brother Datian.

The sounds match.

After realizing this, Arti felt disappointed.

In her dreams, her beloved brother Tian should be a peerless hero, or at least an incomparably revered deity.

And this person...

His mental state is similar to his father's.

Did they encounter the same problem?

But she did not abandon Shenhe.

Brother Da Tian must be in some kind of trouble.

Perhaps there is some way to help him return to normal.

But all this little girl could do was pray and make wishes.

Or... if Brother Da Tian continues to go crazy, then we'll take care of him just like we would take care of our father.

Arti felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

She hesitated for a moment, then made another wish: "May Brother Da Tian's mind return to normal."

This wish was truly heard by the body of the incense ash.

But she hesitated whether to respond to Arti.

Because the current situation is different from what it was just now.

Previously, Xiang Hui's body needed to suppress the reserves of his ascetic power to ensure that neither Shenhe nor the divine nature could repair themselves.

However, as we have also said, this is essentially a stopgap measure.

The day Shenhe's consciousness completely collapses, she will become a second god, or even more insane.

At that time, everything will come to an end.

After all, the true form, the divine nature, and the incense ash body are extremely similar in rank. If it really becomes a two-against-one situation, the balance will be lost in no time.

However, incense ash has fatal weaknesses: acids, alkalis, electrolysis, and ultrasound.

Aside from having the authority to respond to believers, she was practically an ordinary being, not even as good as Shenhe herself.

After all, the fact that Shenhe had previously separated from his body and existed purely as consciousness was itself a kind of extraordinary thing.

So she was also thinking about ways to crack the code.

For example, by taking advantage of Arti's wish, Shenhe's consciousness was also projected onto him.

In this way, even if Shenhe's consciousness collapses, it won't become a two-on-one situation.

Sending someone from the past to the future, while costly, is not as costly as pulling Shenhe back.

It's not even as valuable as fabricating a life.

The high price of returning to Shenhe was partly due to Arti's complete lack of understanding of the working logic of the blessing system.

On the other hand, it also freezes the consumption of the entire modern world.

After all, the divine kingdom was established with the Shen River as its origin, so to pull it back to the past, the modern world must be frozen.

Of course, if you want to thaw it, the price is equally outrageous.

Under normal circumstances, one would simply live honestly until this point in time, and the problem would naturally resolve itself.

So even though Shenhe has returned, the world remains frozen, and only he and Arti can move around.

Given the current situation, helping Shenhe regain consciousness is not the best option for Xianghui's body.

Because before her divinity is restored, there are very few things she can do; at least based on instinct, she will not destroy herself quickly.

But Shenhe himself is different; he is a human, and his actions are difficult to predict.

And like me, they all want to become little superheroes and live a good life.

In some ways, they are competitors.

If Shenhe awakens, he might try to reclaim his divine power.

The thoughts and consciousness of the incense ash body all originate from the Shen River, so it can naturally make a general judgment about future developments.

Not to mention, Shenhe had reasons why he had to do it.

Even if he regains consciousness, the influence of the believers will still exist, and he will soon fall into chaos again.

Therefore, Shenhe will almost certainly try to obtain divine power.

If left in a state of chaos, he will hardly take any initiative, except for that inexplicably overly firm instinct to attack divinity.

With Shenhe sacrificed, Xianghui's body became the most secure master of this divine kingdom.

The only followers who could corrupt her will were Agni, Mina, Arti, and the Black Doctor, and their influence was negligible.

However, the power of arduous cultivation can be mobilized normally.

Because in the eyes of the divine kingdom, Shenhe, divinity, and the incense ash body are all one person.

This is just the deity's mental breakdown and madness.

In other words, her rivals, Shenxing and Shenhe, are helping her bear the side effects.

For Xiang Hui's body, this is an absolutely perfect start.

She can even maintain a low level of asceticism while developing followers who align with her personality, gradually influencing divinity and turning it into a second version of herself.

Then, he melted away his divinity and became the sole ruler of this divine kingdom.

As for Shenhe himself...

Let him fend for himself in that frozen modern world.

As long as she keeps the power of asceticism at a very low level, it is foreseeable that this power will remain in her hands for a long time.

This seems to be the best development.

The personality and values ​​of Xiang Hui's body come from Shen He. Even if it were the real Xiang Hui, he would probably make the same choice.

What was that saying again?

If you do not take what Heaven gives you, you will suffer harm instead.

She raised her hand, intending to extinguish Arti's wish.

But with his arm hanging in mid-air, he hesitated.

...It is difficult for Shenhe to harm others purely for his own benefit.

The incense ash body, which inherited this personality, felt uneasy about its own conscience.

She asked herself, if she were in the same position, would she have done the same thing?

The deity would undoubtedly agree to allow a body made of incense ash, impervious to side effects, to block the descent of divinity.

Even if it means giving up divine power and living a simple, down-to-earth life.

But sacrificing another version of himself is something he probably cannot accept.

And Arti will be sad.

Xiang Hui was quite irritable, and like Shen He, he made excuses for himself.

Then, she finally made up her mind, backed up a piece of memory, and implanted it into Shenhe's mind.

This is very cheap.

Memories, values, and emotions that humans cherish are worthless in the realm of God.

If they wanted, they could create a life at any time and immerse themselves in it for a hundred years, but in reality, they didn't even get to experience a single moment of it.

"Where is divinity?! Come out! Look at me..."

One second Shenhe was yelling wildly, the next second his hand froze in mid-air, staring blankly at the rubber in front of him...

Who put this thing in my hand?!

"Big...Big Brother Tian?"

Arti, her voice trembling with tears, tentatively probed in a low voice.
