Ghost Catching System

Chapter 1039: Chapter 1037: The Most Terrifying Truth

Acquired the Yin Yang Curse Body cultivation method.

Chu Hao felt excited for a moment and then asked, "Emperor, what exactly is this place?"

Fuxi sighed and said, "This is where the ultimate secret of the world lies. The fact that you can enter here already surprises me greatly."

Chu Hao was astounded, the ultimate secret of the world.

What kind of secret is it?

Fuxi said, "Actually, the corpses you see are just nourishment for the earth. Without this nourishment, even the Yanhuang World wouldn’t exist; everything would perish."

Chu Hao was utterly shocked.

These corpses are nourishment?

What a joke.

Corpses as nourishment.

Nourishing the entire Yanhuang World.

Without it, everything would die.

Chu Hao’s mouth twitched, "Emperor, are you kidding me? If these corpses are nourishment, then are we also born from this nourishment?"

Fuxi calmly nodded, "Exactly."

Chu Hao: "..."

What the hell?

This turned Chu Hao’s perception of the world upside down.

Chu Hao exclaimed, "Are we living inside a monster’s body?"

Fuxi looked at him and said nothing for a long time.

Chu Hao’s mouth twitched, didn’t I guess it right?

Emperor Fuxi said, "Knowing too much is not good for you, but you’re right. We are indeed on a monster, think of it as a giant blob of meat. The corpses outside are just its nourishment, allowing it to survive; if it dies, everything will die."

Chu Hao was almost driven mad.

It felt like we’re just a part of a monster’s body.

A certain cell!?

Fuxi said, "The existence of Foreign Ghosts is to destroy it. Once all life on land is annihilated, it will lose part of its nourishment, just like the roots of a plant being destroyed, and then it will slowly die."

Chu Hao exclaimed, "What exactly is it?"

Fuxi sighed, "I want to know what it is too."

Chu Hao promptly asked, "Emperor, why do so many corpses fall through the channel outside? I always felt something was off about these bodies."

Of course, there’s something off.

Dinosaurs, creatures from which era? How are they here?

Fuxi said, "Those? They’re just its stored nutrients."

Good heavens!?

Chu Hao was nearly losing his mind; if it weren’t for the fact that the person in front of him was Emperor Fuxi, he would think the guy was crazy.

After dinosaurs went extinct, most of their bodies ended up here, stored, and turned into nutrients?

The same goes for all those other corpses.

Fuxi sighed, "The more you understand the truth, the more terrifying it is."

Indeed, every truth Chu Hao uncovered was deeply frightening.

This world overturned all his previous perceptions.

Chu Hao said, "Emperor, if this is the case with Yanhuang World, is it the same with the Netherworld and other places?"

He wanted to verify something, something extremely terrifying.

Fuxi frowned and said, "The Netherworld is the same."

Chu Hao’s voice changed, "Wouldn’t the Netherworld then treat us as nourishment?"

Fuxi nodded slightly.

Chu Hao felt as if struck by lightning, standing there dazed.

The words of the Green Demon were actually true.

The Underworld, with its seemingly glorious Six Reincarnation Paths, a place countless ghosts yearned to reincarnate, was just a lie.

The Eighteen Layers of Hell, a place for punishing evil, was merely a bloody slaughterhouse, a decoy.

The truth is always terrifying.

This truth, if spoken, would likely not be believed by many.

But Chu Hao believed it, the Green Demon didn’t lie to him, and Emperor Fuxi proved it.

Fuxi coldly said, "Don’t trust the Underworld or the Heavenly Court. If one day you have the ability, you’ll know what to do, or you can choose to live by scraping by."

This is more than a blood feud.

The resentment is overwhelming in magnitude.

No wonder the Underworld closed the Ghost Gate Pass.

Making the ghosts in the Yang Realm become Wandering Wild Ghosts, homeless.

No wonder the Underworld doesn’t come to aid, the Netherworld also needs to protect itself.

Because they chose to abandon the Yanhuang World.

Everything made sense now.

Chu Hao felt a heavy weight pressing on his heart.

Emperor Fuxi said, "Everyone wants to survive, the world is cruel, but you don’t have to be overly concerned, the sins of the Underworld will need to be paid for sooner or later."

"I must leave now, everyone is counting on you."

Chu Hao looked up and asked, "Emperor, where are you going? Will we meet again?"

Emperor Fuxi shook his head, "I don’t know."

"Alright, I’ll send you out now, live well, and perhaps someday we might meet again."

Fuxi’s Soul Light enveloped Chu Hao.

When he reappeared, he was already outside Kunlun Mountain Death Valley, and Emperor Fuxi’s Soul Light had departed.

Today, having learned part of the truth, Chu Hao felt a storm in his heart.

Even Chu Hao, with his open-minded character, felt the weight now.

After a long while, he collected his thoughts, mounted his sword, and flew away from Kunlun Mountain Death Valley.

...

Chu Hao asked, "System, how long do I need to seclude myself to learn the Yin-Yang True Scripture Perfect Edition?"

System: "Three months."

Chu Hao muttered, "Too long, maybe White Demon might return in three months, and then it will be troublesome."

System: "Recommend Host to purchase a Destiny Calculation service, to forecast when White Demon might return."

Chu Hao was delighted, "Is that possible?"

System: "System upgraded, new services launched. System recommends Destiny Calculation service to Host, requires five million Pretentiousness Points to purchase, but system can offer a one-time service, requiring Host to pay 100,000 Pretentiousness Points for one service."

Damn! 100,000 Pretentiousness Points for one service.

System: "Does Host require the service."

Chu Hao frowned, "No, I don’t have enough Pretentiousness Points."

System: "Host has 167,000 Pretentiousness Points remaining."

Chu Hao grumbled, "Are you trying to squeeze me dry?"

System: "Then recommend Host to open the Jade-level Treasure Box, fate hinges on luck."

"Get lost, are you cursing me to die?"

Almost forgot, there’s a Jade-level Treasure Box, Chu Hao said, "Open the box."

"Ding... Congratulations Host, acquired a Destiny Talisman."

Hearing the system congratulate, Chu Hao was pleased.

This guy usually doesn’t congratulate, he quickly checked what the Destiny Talisman was.

Item: Destiny Talisman (Special Item)

Ability: Using the Destiny Talisman grants you a fortuitous encounter, the size of the encounter depends on Host’s luck.

Chu Hao muttered, "System, you’re impressive to have such things, how many Pretentiousness Points per piece?"

System scornfully said, "500,000 Pretentiousness Points per piece."

"You, can’t, afford, it."

Screw you!

Looking down on me.

Is 500,000 Pretentiousness Points a lot?

Right now... it sure feels like a lot.
