After Turning Into A Little Skeleton, I Got Contracted By A Goddess

Chapter 112 The Mysterious Wisp Of Consciousness

The Mysterious Wisp of Consciousness

This scene was beyond Zhou Mingrui's comprehension. He never expected there to be a foreign being of consciousness hiding in his sea of consciousness.

"Don't be surprised. This wisp of consciousness was mainly tasked to ensure your safety during your childhood. Also, I have something to tell you," the face said slowly.

"Since your strength has already grown to this level, I can finally tell you some things that you should know."

"What is it?" Zhou Mingrui asked with a frown.

After all, nobody would feel comfortable being kept in the dark.

"Do you know why all the beings in the illusionary spirit world are so afraid of you?" the big face asked.

"Because of my father?" Zhou Mingrui raised his brows.

"That's right. It's because of your father. He was one of the three Lords of the illusionary spirit world, the Lord of the Spirits." the huge face said.

'Death Spirit King, no wonder. My undead spiritual attribute was also inherited from him, right?" Zhou Mingrui was not surprised.

"It's easy to guess, but what I'm going to tell you next is the truly critical information, which is the cause of your father's death."

These words made Zhou Mingrui feel as though he had been embroiled in a major incident.

As expected, the giant face continued after a few seconds of silence, "The one who killed your father was another Lord from the illusionary spirit world, the Lord of Destiny."

"And then? You mean you want me to avenge my father?" Zhou Mingrui said after some thought.

"No, even if you were a hundred times or a thousand times stronger than now, you would still be nothing more than an ant in the eyes of the Lord of Destiny." The giant face said.

"Then why are you telling me this?" Zhou Mingrui was a little confused.

"It's about time the Lord of Destiny starts searching for you. But don't worry, your father has left a total of five wisps of consciousness on you."

"Every time your strength reaches a certain level, they will automatically trigger and provide you with the information you should know. At the same time, it will cover up your aura," The huge face explained.

"You're saying that once all five of my consciousness forms are activated, I'll have the ability to face that Lord of Destiny?" Zhou Mingrui pressed.

"No. After all five consciousness forms get activated, it only means that you have the ability to avoid the Lord of Destiny's pursuit. You still will not have the strength to face him," the giant face replied.

"So what you are saying is that I have to live like a street rat and live my life in fear every day?"

Zhou Mingrui was already extremely upset. He was even more upset than when he got beaten up by Zhao Guian.

After all, who would be in a good mood if they suddenly found out that their originally carefree lifestyle suddenly had to be low-key, and that they had to be on guard against an unknown danger?

"No, actually, you don't have to worry that much. Although the Lord of Destiny is very powerful, he can't directly cross the world barrier to attack you."

"The only thing he can do is to command the summoned spirits under him to attack you, so you don't have to worry about the Lord himself attacking you. "

"But you have to be careful. Those who can be taken under the command of the Lord of Destiny are all summoned spirits with extraordinary talents and abilities. The most powerful ones even have the potential to become future Lords," the giant face continued solemnly.

Upon hearing this, most of the worry in Zhou Mingrui's heart dissipated.

"The spirits that come to this world must give up everything they have in the illusionary spirit world and start over."

"In that case, I don't need to be afraid of them. With my talent and strength, I will be able to grow to a considerable height very soon." Zhou Mingrui revealed a relaxed expression.

"No, actually, you'll only be able to relax for a while. In a few years' time, the spiritual energy tidal storm will begin. By then, the barrier of this world will be weakened to a certain extent. When that time comes, the Lord of Destiny will be much more able to influence this world."

The huge face's words immediately poured a bucket of cold water on Zhou Mingrui's head.

"Spiritual energy tidal storm? The Great Calamity?"

The timing of the two events immediately appeared in his mind. He asked hastily, "I need to know what the spiritual energy tidal storm is!"

"I'm not sure about the details," the giant face replied, "I can only tell you that it appears once every ten thousand years. At that time, no matter it's this world, the illusionary spirit world, or the barriers of the any other surrounding worlds, they will all be weakened to a certain extent by the storm."

"At that time, life forms from different worlds with the ability to travel through space, or those with other special abilities, can take advantage of this opportunity to sneak into another world."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingrui finally realized that this was the real reason for the Great Calamity.

"The Lord of Destiny still won't be able to descend upon this world after the Great Calamity, right?" Zhou Mingrui asked the most critical question.

"No, but I can't be sure if he has any specific hidden methods. The information your father left with me doesn't have much about this." The giant face did not give a specific answer.

Zhou Mingrui sighed. However, he quickly regained his spirit. He was still confident in his strength and growth rate.

No matter how powerful the Lord of Destiny was, he would get rid of that fellow one day.

"It seems like you've recovered. I've said all I have to say." The huge face could read Zhou Mingrui's expression.

"What, if I couldn't pull myself together, what would you do?" Zhou Mingrui could tell that something was amiss.

"Your father has already made arrangements. If you develop any intentions to give up, all of your existing consciousness forms will immediately erupt and erase the memories related to this matter. Then, a part of your body's cultivation foundation will be crippled, and you will be able to live a mediocre life from then on."

The huge face used the calmest tone to say the most ruthless words.

Zhou Mingrui felt extremely perplexed. He didnt expect the father he had never met to actually be so ruthless.

Although Zhou Mingrui understood his father's intentions, he still felt uncomfortable. He said, "This cheap father of mine sure is ruthless."

The huge face was expressionless and said indifferently, "This is the best choice for you, please understand."

Zhou Mingrui did not wish to continue the conversation. The wisp of consciousness in front of him was probably no different from an ordinary computer. It would not be able to empathize with him even if he were to argue.

"Do you have any more questions? If not, we'll be moving on to the next step" The huge face said.

"Next step?" Zhou Mingrui was puzzled.

"I'll get rid of any threats from the outside world, and then give you some helpful information." The giant face replied.

"You're just a wisp of consciousness. How are you going to solve the current situation?" Zhou Mingrui was puzzled.

This wasn't like those fantasy immortal cultivation novels where a wisp of a superior being's consciousness could erupt with overwhelming power and easily wipe out all the enemies in front of him.
