Chapter 319: Chapter 284 "Shaker" newly added to the Book of the Dead!

At the street corner.

Nina chanted a spell, enveloping herself and Wu Xiaode in a halo of light.

"We’re far enough from the others now, I have a secret that I can share with you."

As she spoke, each of her pupils turned gold and silver, respectively.

The gold represented the older Divine Beast of Law.

The silver was the newly born Divine Beast.

——The old woman had disappeared, and she had been reborn as a pure energy form, residing within Nina.

"Mortal, you may not understand our existence—to be frank, there was originally just one of me, but the prisoner found a way to split me into several, weakening my power."

"The children that I bore also represent parts of myself."

"I see, it’s like genetics," Wu Xiaode said with a shrug.

"Pretty much," Nina nodded in approval. "The prisoners have begun to master the settings of the sin prison, so I must return immediately and further strengthen its seal."

"But what about our world? Now everyone has only 1 point of Soul Power, and we’re just waiting to die."

Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but ask.

Nina gazed deeply at him, seemingly hesitant to speak before finally whispering:

"Do you remember? You traveled back to the past once, and when you returned, you gained the Ying Yuan Sword that could endlessly draw from lightning."

"It’s because of that you were able to defeat the Dragon God Ao Tian."

Wu Xiaode’s eyes widened.

Like a flash of lightning crossing his mind.

And suddenly he remembered that event—

"Time is like a blooming lotus, complete with flowers and fruit, the past and future exist simultaneously. When the past changes, the future changes instantly; and if the future changes, it will also alter the past."

Yes.

He had changed the past.

The danger that Shen Feixue faced had been averted by him.

And then, when he returned to the future—

Xia Huilan had mastered the power to forge the Ying Yuan Sword.

This was truly miraculous.

Before Wu Xiaode could continue his thought, Nina looked around to see Satan, the cold beauty, and Xia Ni, among others, standing far away, with no other suspicious figures in sight.

Then she whispered, "Remember, the potential of the world is infinite. Even if it has been set to only use 1 point of Soul Power—"

"If you find a way in the past, then the future will also change."

"So go back!"

As her words fell.

Nina extended her hand and gently touched his watch with a ball of silver light.

On the watch face, the needle spun wildly, then steadily pointed to "Danger."

——He was going back to the Past Epoch to protect The Queen Mother of the West!

The silver light faded from Nina.

"That was to thank you for saving my mother. Now my mother has a gift for you," she said softly.

She placed her other hand on the Book of the Dead.

"Is this book your Death Ability?"

She inquired.

"Yes—can you see it?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"I have regained my power now, so I can see your Book of Death," Nina replied.

She ignited a faint golden light around her and continued:

"Before you head to the Past Epoch, I can grant this book a new ability. Think about what else you might need?"

After a few moments of thought, Wu Xiaode spoke, "I wish for the Book of the Dead to gain a new ability:"

"——to summon help from this moment, to aid me in the past."

"It’s possible, but whoever you summon must not be any of these people from the sin prison, including the Demon God," Nina stated.

Wu Xiaode was taken aback and quickly asked, "Why?"

"The people in the sin prison actually have inexplicable ties to the previous Epoch. If they go back, they will disrupt those established connections—so you can only summon those from outside the sin prison," Nina explained.

"That’s fine; I need this ability," Wu Xiaode replied.

Nina’s entire body glowed with golden light, pouring it all into the Book of the Dead.

Suddenly, lines of ice crystal text emerged:

"You have gained a new ability: Dimensional Summoning."

"——It is a summoning skill that crosses time and space, but it requires the consent of the summoned, and it cannot be any being from the sin prison."

"This ability is recorded on page thirteen of the Book of the Dead."

All the light from Nina’s body vanished.

She looked just like an ordinary little girl, though her eyes still showed two distinct lights.

"Do your best. When you find a way in the past and return to this moment—the world’s potential will manifest, helping you face everything," Nina encouraged him.

After Nina finished speaking, her figure gradually faded.

And she disappeared.

Only Wu Xiaode was left behind.

"Little Qi." He called.

"I’m here!" A little crow landed on his shoulder, cheerfully responding.

"Do you have enough Merit?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Sure do, although I just helped you summon spirits, you annihilated six Demon Gods, and the world is safe again—I now have 1 point of Merit, enough to find Ya," Little Qi said a bit bashfully, yet gleefully.

"Go ahead; I’m finished here. I’ll look for you and Ya next time," Wu Xiaode said with a smile.

"Okay, I’m off then, goodbye," Little Qi said.

"Goodbye," Wu Xiaode replied.

The Crow Spirit soared into the high sky, quickly vanishing from sight.

Wu Xiaode glanced at his own Merit.

"Current Merit count: 5."

Destroying six invading Demon Gods earned five points of Merit!

——Not too shabby.

He composed himself and walked towards the others.

"Boss, can the Divine Beast of Law help us set up something for the 1 point Soul Power?" the cold beauty worriedly asked.

Before Wu Xiaode could reply, Satan spoke up:

"It won’t work, the Divine Beast of Law must maintain all world settings, otherwise, it would harm the sin prison."

"That’s right, I have other matters to attend to right now, you all should rest," Wu Xiaode said.

"Do you need help?" Satan asked.

Xia Ni also looked over.

Wu Xiaode shook his head and said, "No need, but I guess the world will need everyone’s help soon."

"——First, get some rest. There’s not much time for rest left, as we are going to face all sorts of dire situations in the future, with no more such leisurely times."

The voice trailed off.

Wu Xiaode suddenly disappeared from his spot.

...

Wutong Mountain in Jiangdong County, Dongsheng Country.

A Taoist Temple atop the mountain.

Wu Xiaode quietly appeared.

Almost instantaneously, his phone started blowing up with a barrage of ding-dong notifications.

He checked them.

All were greeting messages and missed calls from Shen Feixue.

It seemed that during his absence, she had tried to contact him quite frequently.

"She’s in danger..."

Wu Xiaode muttered to himself and dialed Shen Feixue’s number.

After a short wait,

Shen Feixue’s surprised voice came through the phone:

"Daoist Wu! You’ve finally decided to contact me!"

Wu Xiaode said, "I was in seclusion before, so you couldn’t reach me. Where are you now?"

He glanced at the current Book of the Dead:

"Attention."

"In the current Epoch, you can claim one point of Merit every day."

"Current accumulated Merit points: 21."

"You have received 21 points of Merit."

"Personal profile updated:"

"Soul Power: 2/32; Wish Power: 0; Merit: 26."

Twenty-one points of Merit meant twenty-one days had passed since his last visit.

Tsk.

His maximum Soul Power had returned as well.

Being free from the constraints of the prisoner’s setup was truly refreshing.

Shen Feixue’s voice rang out again:

"Daoist, I’ve established a small Mecha research base at the town below Wutong Mountain. You are welcome to come and provide guidance at any time."

Right at the foot of the mountain, that’s convenient.

"I’ll be there soon," Wu Xiaode said.

He hung up after speaking.

He walked out of the Taoist Temple, then suddenly had a feeling and looked back.

The entire Taoist Temple had taken on a new look.

Without a doubt, this must have been the result of Shen Feixue financing repairs.

The Book of the Dead stirred slightly.

Wu Xiaode immediately sensed a thought.

"You want to come out?"

He gently patted the Book of the Dead.

A mass of Ice Frost energy quietly landed on the ground, rolled, and turned into a skeletal dog.

Yes, a bone dog!

"No need to go down the mountain. Just guard the house here. Once I’ve resolved Shen Feixue’s issues, we’ll talk," Wu Xiaode said.

The bone dog nodded its head.

Wu Xiaode turned to leave, but then seemed to remember something and added another piece of advice:

"There are no creatures made purely of bones in the human world, so you’d better get yourself some skin, or you’ll frighten people."

After that, he dashed down the mountain.

The bone dog crouched in place, pondered for a few breaths, and looked around.

The master was right.

There were no Death Monsters in the human realm.

It needed to get some skin.

But what kind of skin should it get?

It glanced at an owl perched on a tree branch.

That won’t work.

Dogs don’t have wings.

The bone dog was a bit worried when it suddenly heard some noise coming from the backyard.

It stealthily ran over and hid in a corner to look.

It saw a mechanical creature it had never seen before, just climbing over the yard wall, with light beams scanning the surroundings from its eyes.

It resembled a mechanical dog somewhat.

That’s it.

Humans are a race skilled in the use of machinery.

Why not disguise oneself as a mechanical creature instead of getting some skin?

The bone dog understood and placed its paw on the ground.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Chilling Ice Frost spread rapidly from beneath its paw, enveloping the entire backyard, and also covering the machine.

——This was the innate power of being a bone dragon, Hell Frost!

With such potent Frost Element damage, not to mention a mere reconnaissance mechanical dog, even the Demon Gods would not dare to underestimate it!

The mechanical dog was covered with a layer of frost and immediately became motionless.

Only then did the bone dog emerge from the corner.

It strutted over to the mechanical dog, examined it up and down, and began to disassemble the parts of the mechanical dog’s body.

——Dismantling others to supplement oneself, that was the bone dragon’s innate talent!

Generally, during any bone dragon’s juvenile stage, that’s how it acquires its skeletal structure!

In no time,

The mechanical dog was disassembled into pieces.

Looking at the bone dog—

It was covered with steel parts and was starting to look the part.

Now no one would be scared of it!

According to its instincts, this world was being engulfed by disaster.

The awakening of the bone dragon, the Death Overlord, is the time for all disasters!

It needed power—

It must hurry down the mountain to find Wu Xiaode!

The bone dog, with metallic claws, raced down the mountain.
