Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Zhao Yuanzhou was aroused by Jiang Xinxin's words and couldn't help but laugh: "Since Cheng Huang set up such a formation and used people's obsession to cause trouble, why don't we go find Cheng Huang's obsession."

Cheng Huang was born earlier than Zhao Yuanzhou's Zhu Yan, and he had assisted the first goddess Bai Ze. He was known to all the monsters in the wilderness. But this does not mean that Zhao Yuanzhou is much weaker than Cheng Huang, because Zhu Yan is the chosen son of heaven after all. Even if the other party is just a container chosen by heaven to carry evil spirits, he is more advantaged than Cheng Huang.

So Zhao Yuanzhou broke up the illusion before him and found Cheng Huang's obsession, or rather, something related to Cheng Huang's obsession, a female puppet whose face could not be seen clearly.

Wen Xiao only took a look at the puppet and couldn't help but say, "It seems that this is what Cheng Huang is obsessed with."

Zhuo Yichen didn't understand, and asked Jiang Xinxin: "Could such a puppet whose face you can't see clearly really be the obsession of Cheng Huang?"

Wen Xiao explained: "The obsession of the previous Miss Zhimei was probably to retain her best years and remain an otaku, and this obsession was captured and used by Cheng Huang, who made Miss Zhimei into a puppet, trapping her forever in the illusion created by Cheng Huang for her."

"Perhaps Miss Zhimei has not simply entrusted her life to Chenghuang. In time, Miss Zhimei will be so weak that even her soul will not be able to maintain itself, leaving only a trace of obsession. So this puppet is Miss Zhimei."

Zhao Yuanzhou nodded in appreciation, "Yes, Cheng Huang killed people to absorb their vitality when he was in the Great Wilderness, so he was driven out. I didn't expect that he would not change his bad habits and take advantage of his so-called obsession."

Zhuo Yichen took a deep breath and reminded everyone loudly: "Since we know that Cheng Huang has done something to absorb vitality, let's quickly find Cheng Huang's true identity and bring him to justice!"

Seeing that they had been talking for a long time without any idea, Jiang Xinxin sighed and led everyone to a place of worship. Zhao Yuanzhou took a clear look at the surrounding environment and could tell at a glance that this place was very much in the style of the Great Wilderness, rough but majestic.

As for the puppet enshrined above, it might be the first Bai Ze Goddess.

Wen Xiao carefully looked at the carvings on the surrounding stone pillars and said to everyone, "These stone pillars are all carved with the deeds of the first generation of goddesses. I have seen portraits of goddesses of previous generations at my master's place. The goddesses here are very similar to the first generation of goddesses."

It turned out to be the first generation of Bai Ze Goddess. Wen Xiao stood up and kowtowed earnestly with Zhuo Yichen. When he stood up, he saw Zhao Yuanzhou actually picked up the puppet that was being offered there.

Zhuo Yichen scolded angrily: "What are you doing?!"

Zhao Yuanzhou said bluntly: "Oh, in an emergency, we have to make decisions based on our circumstances."

"It's just an ordinary puppet without any memory or obsession. It's not even as good as this puppet of Miss Zhimei."

Wen Xiao was shocked when he heard this. This Cheng Huang was originally the mount of the first generation goddess. Between them...

Zhao Yuanzhou had already raised the puppet of the first generation goddess and said to the people around him: "I will count to three. If you don't show up, I will kiss you!"

Zhuo Yichen's breathing stagnated, "Ridiculous!"

The goddesses of all generations were revered by the wilderness and the human world. How could Zhao Yuanzhou treat the first generation goddess so disrespectfully and frivolously? !

Zhuo Yichen and Wen Xiao both looked gloomy, but Zhao Yuanzhou remained innocent: "The situation is urgent, so I'll just take an unconventional approach."

Zhuo Yichen turned around and didn't even want to see Zhao Yuanzhou, "This sword is too crazy!"

Wen Xiao added: "This madness is too cheap!"

Zhao Yuanzhou saw Jiang Xinxin stop in one direction, and immediately realized that Cheng Huang was hiding there. He turned around and pretended to bring the puppet of the first-generation goddess closer to his face: "You really won't come out? Then you can't blame me. Three, two——"

Cheng Huang couldn't help but show up after all, and brought out Pei Sijing who was holding the Pei Siheng doll.

Pei Sijing immediately came over to everyone and was on guard against Cheng Huang, while Cheng Huang looked at Zhao Yuanzhou angrily, "How dare you be so shameless!"

Zhao Yuanzhou chuckled, "How can I compare to you, Master Cheng Huang?"

Zhuo Yichen began to analyze the case: "There were plum blossom petals at the scene of the last two incidents. If I hadn't experienced Miss Zhimei's illusion, I would have overlooked it. The deer antler pattern at the scene was more conspicuous. So the murderer was Miss Zhimei, who was manipulated by you, and Pei Siheng appeared at the scene probably to divert attention."

Pei Sijing continued, "My brother Ah Heng is not someone you can manipulate. His appearance is a hint to me that there is someone behind all this, and there is more than one force behind you. In addition to Huai Gui Li Lun, there should be someone hiding in Jixin Hall!"

Cheng Huang still had that condescending look. He looked at Pei Sijing pointing the Pei family's ancestral falcon bow at him, and suddenly smiled and summoned Pei Siheng.

Pei Sijing was shocked and touched her waist, and sure enough, the doll of her younger brother that she had picked up before was gone.

Jiang Xinxin stood up and said to Cheng Huang, "I heard in the Great Wilderness that the first goddess was infected with the plague because of Fei's appearance. Bai Ze's divine power could not do anything about it, so she died of a serious illness. Later, you were driven away because you killed humans and seized the vitality of the human race."

"Then, can I speculate this way: the first goddess was indeed infected with an incurable disease, and you killed people to seize life in order to extend the goddess' life, but your actions cannot be recognized by the goddess, and she even hates you very much. It is more likely that the goddess would rather die than accept your method of extending her life."

Everyone was thinking deeply. What Jiang Xinxin said was very likely what really happened at that time. Cheng Huang was almost crazy for the goddess. If they started fighting, everyone really had no chance of winning.

Zhao Yuanzhou asked Cheng Huang directly: "Since you and the first generation goddess had such a deep bond, I don't believe that you did nothing after the goddess passed away."

"But now I am more certain that you have made a deal with Li Lun. Why don't you tell us what you promised Li Lun in order to get him to hand over his beloved sundial for you to use?"

When Wen Xiao heard that Cheng Huang was colluding with Li Lun, he became even more disappointed and resentful of Cheng Huang: "I really don't understand. You are so powerful that even if we join forces, we can't beat you alone. Why do you still do such a despicable thing as sucking human blood and life force?"

Cheng Huang didn't even look at Wen Xiao, and turned a deaf ear to Wen Xiao's questions, just looking at Jiang Xinxin.

Jiang Xinxin asked Cheng Huangdao: "So it was you who opened the gate of Kunlun, allowing the monsters to come to the human world?"

The Gate of Kunlun is the gate to the divine realm. Even if the gate is open, demons and humans cannot pass through at will. If Cheng Huang had not done something, those little demons would have no chance of passing safely.

Several people started talking nonsense again, and Jiang Xinxin noticed the sundial. She had heard Zhao Yuanzhou say before that this sundial was Li Lun's favorite thing, and Cheng Huang used it to set up formations and create many illusions. The puppets made with obsession controlled many people. Jiang Xinxin even dared to conclude that the recent cases were the largest number of cases created by Cheng Huang. If Pei Siheng had not shown up to show Pei Sijing the way, the Demon Hunting Bureau and Chongwu Camp would not be able to catch Cheng Huang even if they joined forces.

Then this sundial is most likely used more than just as the eye of a formation to cooperate with puppets to turn people into half-demons and to control people to kill people.

The sundial was originally used as a tool for measuring time, so it is hard to say that the magical instrument made of the sundial has no function of controlling time. Judging from Cheng Huang's obsession with the first generation goddess, it is possible that he just wants to activate the sundial and reverse time!

Seeing that the four of them could still handle it, Jiang Xinxin walked out of the formation first and looked carefully at this ordinary-looking sundial.

It is true that the sundial may have the ability to turn back time, but it must consume a lot of energy. So, Cheng Huang absorbed so much vitality and flesh and blood not necessarily to maintain his magic power, but most likely to activate the sundial.

Now as long as it is confirmed that this sundial is extraordinary, Jiang Xinxin's speculation is valid.
