Chapter 283: Chapter 198: Return to Blue Star (Second Update)
Blue Star Zen Country, East Qin State, Mande Region.
Fumen Breeding Farm’s Underground Gu Insect Base.
With the disappearance of the transfer portal, Su Jie and Han Ruyan found themselves here.
As soon as they arrived, the red wedding dress that Han Ruyan wore suddenly became dull, as if covered with a layer of dust, no longer as eye-catching.
“Why is there no Spiritual Energy in this place?”
Han Ruyan felt somewhat uncomfortable; ghosts only emerged in the Tianyuan World because of the magical existence of Spiritual Energy.
For fierce ghosts, they do not have a physical existence; their bodies are also not entirely soul-like. Yin Souls can usually reside and dwell within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, but fierce ghosts do not have this method.
Su Jie had previously conducted experiments, after death, the souls of humans in the Tianyuan World could usually exist for half an hour.
In the Blue Star, after a person dies, their soul generally dissipates into the air within a matter of seconds, and what’s missing here is the participation of Spiritual Energy.
In an environment like Blue Star with no Spiritual Energy, fierce ghosts, beings of pure yin, are like fish out of water, extremely uncomfortable and severely suppressed.
If it were humans who went to a strange planet, if it wasn’t a planet suitable for human life, they too would face all kinds of challenges.
“From your understanding, you can consider this place as a separate realm. There’s no Spiritual Energy here, unlike in the Tianyuan World. Can you adapt to it?”
Su Jie looked at Han Ruyan with concern because his series of plans to follow would still require Han Ruyan’s participation.
If Han Ruyan was unable to act, then there would be a big problem.
Han Ruyan observed the surroundings, with various poisonous insects living within the underground base.
Her gaze fixed on a Low Grade Snow Frost Spider, activating her Curse Killing ability.
The next moment, the Snow Frost Spider struggled for three seconds, then its body stiffened and lost life.
However, Han Ruyan showed no reaction, and even Su Jie could see the problem.
In the past, Han Ruyan could instantly kill such ordinary low-grade poisonous insects, but now it took her two seconds.
Su Jie also sensed that the curse power spreading from Han Ruyan’s body was much reduced, both in speed and lethality.
In Su Jie’s understanding, it was like a flame lacking the medium of oxygen, making it difficult to burn.
The reason Han Ruyan could still use her ability relied purely on her own strength, without the involvement of Spiritual Power.
This, in turn, led to a problem, Han Ruyan was weakened.
Fortunately, judging by her condition, this weakening was still within a tolerable range.
However, when Han Ruyan took out the Heavenly Ghost Map and released the fierce ghosts inside, things became different.
More than thirty fierce ghosts appeared in the underground base. Except for the Painting Woman and the Lantern Ghost, these two Fifth-Grade fierce ghosts were still in good condition, the other First, Second, and Third-Grade fierce ghosts showed varying degrees of collapse.
Some fierce ghosts flickered in and out of visibility, some trembled all over, and some had difficulty moving.
Without the influence of Spiritual Energy, those incorporeal fierce ghosts, the weaker they were in strength, the more severely affected they were in Blue Star.
The reason is quite simple: without water (Spiritual Energy), strong fish can choose to go on land, evolve to change from gill breathing to lung breathing, and adapt to environmental changes.
But weaker creatures would be eliminated by nature, with natural selection favoring the survival of the fittest.
Fierce ghosts could not naturally emerge in Blue Star; the same goes for the transfer of fierce ghosts from Tianyuan World, which would also lead to a series of symptoms.
Compared to them, the Gu Insects were faring much better.
After all, whether in Tianyuan World or Blue Star, insects and animals exist. It’s just that their strength varies. Even without Spiritual Energy, their survival wouldn’t be affected.
Moreover, poisonous insects on Blue Star can transform by consuming Poison Insects, generating a unique type of Spiritual Energy that ensures their combat power.
“How can it be so serious, we can’t go on .”
Witnessing this scene, Su Jie took out a Spirit Stone from his Storage Bag and stimulated the Spiritual Energy within.
This Spiritual Energy dispersed into the air, and some of the Fierce Ghosts’ bodies improved slightly, but they were still disintegrating, just at a slower pace.
Han Ruyan took the Spirit Stone from Su Jie’s hand, her fingers brushing against it.
Immediately, Han Ruyan used her transformative ability to modify large quantities of Spirit Stones, ghostifying them to better suit the constitution of the Fierce Ghost Baby.
Well… For Han Ruyan, these ghosts below Third-grade were no different from babies, pitifully weak.
The Spirit Stone gradually became dark and black, eventually turning into beads that emitted a heavy Yin Qi.
By embedding these beads into the bodies of the Fierce Ghosts, their condition soon improved, and at least they would not naturally disintegrate into the air.
Of course, the weakening was still present. Even Han Ruyan couldn’t avoid it, let alone these ghosts.
“Indeed, it is my wife who has the ability.”
Seeing this scene, Su Jie breathed a sigh of relief and picked up Han Ruyan to give her a kiss.
“This is against propriety.”
Han Ruyan stared expressionlessly at Su Jie, her cold and stern gaze making him feel a tingling on his scalp, so he decisively released his hold on Han Ruyan.
“Ghosts can only maintain their state for a while and need regular insertion of Spirit Stones.”
Han Ruyan withdrew her gaze and looked at the ghosts she had brought, recalling them into the Heavenly Ghost Map to reduce the consumption of Spirit Stones.
Meanwhile, Su Jie released the thousand-hand centipede to feast in this place, while he took out a Jade Scroll.
Su Jie’s Primordial Spirit left his body, enveloped the Jade Scroll, and then imparted a section of knowledge into it, all in the languages and common knowledge of the various countries of Blue Star.
The principle was the same as engraving spells, Scriptures, and Secret Texts on the Jade Scroll, and it was even easier and simpler. The only requirement was a Primordial Spirit to do the carving, which Su Jie had.
In a short while, Su Jie handed the Jade Scroll to Han Ruyan, “Study the things inside. They are the basic knowledge of this pocket world.”
After Han Ruyan received the Jade Scroll and understood the basic knowledge of Blue Star, her numb and vacant eyes showed a ripple of emotion.
“Wife, can you change your aura a bit? woman in the photo, change your clothes to match hers.”
Su Jie then took out a photo, which was of Liu Yingying wearing a skirt.
Han Ruyan slowly turned around, the red Wedding Dress changed to pure white, and the phoenix crown on her head gradually turned into a golden hairpin with her hair piled up.
“And then this one, there we go, all set.”
Seeing this, Su Jie put sunglasses on Han Ruyan to cover those lifeless, chilling eyes that could cause panic.
With these changes, Han Ruyan had become a pretty woman with a slightly pale complexion, and no one would suspect that she was a terrifying Ghost Bride.
“Now, let me show you this world.”
Su Jie took Han Ruyan by the hand, leading her away from the Underground Gu Insect Base, and rode the elevator up to the surface.
