Chapter 183 The Creator of Dead Soul Island, the Moon Goddess
Moon Goddess: "In that case, I'll trouble you."
The woman's expression softened slightly, and her gaze shifted from the black-robed figure to the scene within the sphere of light.
"This isn't... Chishui!" The scorching woman's eyes widened in shock: "The power of disgust?"
Beyond the human world lies a mysterious place called the "Virtual Realm".
Over countless ages, many powerful and mysterious beings have been born in the virtual realm, and these beings feed on human emotions.
Ancient human texts also contain records of "demons," but they disliked this term and referred to themselves as ghosts and gods.
Ghosts and gods are divided into ordinary ghosts and gods, high-ranking ghosts and gods, throne ghosts and gods, and the emperor of the void realm, from weakest to strongest.
Both the Blazing Woman and the Moon Goddess are throne-bound deities in the illusory realm.
At the behest of the Emperor of the Void, the Moon Goddess created the Island of Dead Souls to conduct experiments on the human race.
The "Yan" mentioned by the Blazing Woman is another throne-holding deity who governs the Crimson Water of the Void Realm.
[See the previous book, *The Abyss of Fear*, for details]
The black-robed man said, "After the Mother of Crimson Water fell in the struggle against the laws of the world, the Crimson Water split into two. One remained in the Void Realm and gave birth to the Throne of Ghosts and Gods, while the other went to the Land of No Man and was worn away until only a wisp remained, which I found by chance."
"This human soul is actually so compatible with Chishui?" The Blazing Woman knew that the Moon Goddess's experiment involved the souls of humans and the power of ghosts and gods, but seeing Ji Xingyi receiving Chishui's inheritance still felt incredible.
That's the power left behind by the Emperor of the Void Realm!
Why didn't the Moon Goddess keep it all for herself, but instead let a human inherit it?
“No,” the Blazing Woman shook her head after looking at him for a while. “His soul is too weak. Even a wisp of it cannot withstand the power of the Crimson Water.”
"So I need your help," the moon goddess said softly.
Upon hearing this, the fiery woman's heart softened: "What do you need me to do?"
"My power is yin, and your power is yang. You and I can work together to protect his soul," the Moon Goddess said with a smile.
The fiery woman nodded: "It's possible, but whether he can accept the legacy of the Crimson Water depends on himself. As you know, the power of ghosts and gods and the human soul do not belong to the same dimension."
The Moon Goddess immediately released gray magical power that intertwined with the scorching magical power of the Blazing Woman, binding Ji Xingyi's soul.
Ji Xingyi was awakened by the cold; his entire body was so cold he couldn't move, as if his blood had frozen. When his vision finally focused, he saw a snow-white sky and a snow-white world.
A familiar feeling welled up in my heart, and suddenly a shadow appeared, blocking the light overhead.
“Lin…Lin…” Ji Xingyi never expected to see young Jiang Lin again.
The boy's eyes were very strange, as if a sophisticated instrument was scanning something.
Several footsteps approached her ears. Ji Xingyi strained to see what they were. One was a young man of 17, and the other was a refined middle-aged man with Western features whom Ji Xingyi had never seen before.
Jiang Lin looked up at the man beside her and said expressionlessly, "I want him."
Ji Xingyi suddenly realized that this was his memory. Jiang Lin was speaking the language of country A. He couldn't understand the language back then, but now he could.
The middle-aged man was very surprised; this was the first time Jiang Lin had ever shown interest in humans.
17 glanced at the boy in the snow and said with a knowing look, "He's really handsome. No wonder Linlin likes him."
Young Jiang Lin's eyes were incredibly bright: "I want to make him into a specimen and put him in my room."
17: "Hiss... Linlin, your idea is a bit scary."
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, then gently rubbed Jiang Lin's head: "Linlin, if you like him, you can keep him. But a specimen without a soul is just a beautiful shell; you'll get tired of it soon enough."
"That's troublesome." Jiang Lin's voice was childish, but her tone was as flat as an AI.
“Linlin, raising a human isn’t troublesome; on the contrary, it’ll be quite interesting.” The middle-aged man knelt on one knee and touched Ji Xingyi’s face. “Moreover, as he grows older, he will become more and more beautiful, and you will definitely like him.”
Jiang Lin tilted his head slightly, revealing a rare expression of anticipation.
The middle-aged man smiled and placed his palm on Ji Xingyi's forehead. As the gentle force healed the dying body, it also searched Ji Xingyi's memories: "He comes from China."
“China is a wonderful place,” the middle-aged man said with a nostalgic expression, then looked at Jiang Lin: “Linlin, shall we go to China?”
"Master?" 17 looked shocked. "You really intend to send Linlin to live in the human world?"
The middle-aged man said, "At 17, he needs to integrate into human society and learn human emotions in order to become a true human being."
17 looked confused: "Linlin isn't human, so why does she want to become human?"
The middle-aged man stood up and patted 17 on the shoulder: "Because he is not strong enough yet."
17 was even more confused after hearing this: "Wouldn't becoming human make you weaker?"
The middle-aged man stopped answering and simply gave Jiang Lin a deep smile.
Ji Xingyi tried to uncover more information, but suddenly his brain throbbed with intense pain, his vision went black, and the world went dark again.
“It’s a failure!” The Blazing Woman noticed that cracks were beginning to appear in Ji Xingyi’s soul. She turned to the Moon Goddess and sighed, “This human’s soul is still too fragile. The Mother of Crimson Water is ultimately the Emperor of the Void Realm. Even if there is only a wisp of her power, it is still beyond his ability to withstand.”
The Moon God's eyes flickered, and he bit the tip of his index finger, from which flowed pale purple blood emitting a strange luster. He then pointed it at Ji Xingyi's brow within the sphere of light.
The light purple blood transformed into a stream of light that flowed into Ji Xingyi's soul, nourishing the cracks in his soul.
The woman was surprised, but she didn't say anything more and continued to cooperate with the black-robed man to protect Ji Xingyi's soul.
Ji Xing felt as if he was going up and down in Chishui. His chaotic mind finally regained control of his body. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the old house of the Ji family.
A new dream.
He and the young Jiang Lin were hiding in Ji Wanzhi's room.
This is...that day! Ji Xingyi was deeply shaken.
"Linlin, do you think Mom will be happy?" The 13-year-old was holding a small cake and whispering to Jiang Lin in the changing room.
"Of course! This is a birthday cake you made for your aunt yourself, she'll definitely love it!" Jiang Lin smiled.
Ji Wanzhi doesn't live in the old Ji family house, so she won't celebrate her birthday with Ji Xingyi. Therefore, the young man is thinking of celebrating his mother's birthday when Ji Wanzhi returns to the old Ji family house on the 15th of this month.
The boy nodded and, along with Jiang Lin, hid in the darkness, waiting for the approaching footsteps outside.
No! Ji Xingyi tried to stop what was about to happen, but found that she had no control over her body at all.
The person outside opened the door, then quickly locked it again. Immediately following were the creaking of the bed and the sounds of pleasure from a man and woman.
The woman was naturally Ji Wanzhi, but the man...
Jiang Lin covered the boy's eyes.
That was his maternal grandfather, the head of the Ji family.
Young Ji Xingyi never imagined that his loving parents would have an extramarital affair, let alone that the man on Ji Wanzhi's body was his healthy maternal grandfather.
Seeing this scene again still makes me feel so painful I can't breathe.
Later, the boy asked Jiang Lin to help him find someone to do a DNA test, and he discovered that his biological father was actually his maternal grandfather.
He took the report to his grandfather and finally learned the whole story.
Thirty years ago, my maternal grandparents had a business marriage. My grandmother had secretly become pregnant with her ex-wife's child and married my grandfather while pregnant. My grandmother begged my grandfather to keep the child, and he agreed. However, after my grandmother's death, he took possession of his nominal daughter.
Besides Ji Wanzhi, her daughter with no blood relation, the maternal grandfather had no other children. After Ji Wanzhi became pregnant, she traded her unborn child, Ji Xingyi, for her freedom. Carrying the only heir of the Ji family, she married Lin's father, whom she truly loved.
Therefore, only Ji Xingyi can bear the surname Ji, while his younger brother Lin Rui'an can only bear the surname Lin. This is because only Ji Xingyi is the true heir of the Ji family.
So, given how much Ji Wanzhi hates Ji Xingyi, who would like the devilish son who has taken over her body?
