Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 958 - 384: Battle of the Twin Cities

When everyone believed that the descent of Soul Shepherd City was real, Zhou Xuan’s Secret Realm received the incense of the Colorful Play.

The third-level technique of the Colorful Play Master, "Mirror Flower Water Moon" — the Play Master creates a false scene for people to wander through, and if the wanderers believe the scene is real, the Play Master can harvest incense.

However, Soul Shepherd City is merely a projection and not a tangible structure, nor did any citizens wander inside, so the incense harvested wasn’t much,

only burning away one-third of Zhou Xuan’s third incense stick.

"What a pity, if hundreds of people had wandered through Big Curtain Mountain, Boss Xuan’s play technique might already be starting to learn the fourth-level technique."

The Engineer gazed at the incense progress in Zhou Xuan’s Secret Realm, speaking with a hint of regret.

"Teacher Gong, one cannot be too greedy. Just the foreplay alone burned away one-third of this incense. I am already very satisfied."

Zhou Xuan said confidently, "The bulk of the incense still needs to come from the following act, don’t panic."

Speaking of the following act, Little Brain’s voice rang out in the Secret Realm, "Xuan Director, how do we proceed with the next act, concerning the Night Parade of Hundred Demons?"

"On the projection of Soul Shepherd City, open the Ghost Gate and first release the momentum of the Night Parade of Hundred Demons to threaten the entire Mingjiang Prefecture... Only when this threat truly occurs... will the common people realize the overwhelming power of Soul Shepherd City."

The common people will feel that destructive power and naturally believe that Soul Shepherd City also possesses the strength needed to resurrect those Mingjiang people who died in disasters!

Hearing this, the Engineer chuckled playfully, "The stronger the power created by Soul Shepherd City, the more the people of Mingjiang Prefecture will think that the big figure there has extraordinary abilities when negotiating with the will of Soul Shepherd City... gaining more popular support in Mingjiang Prefecture..."

As she spoke, she looked at Zhou Xuan and said, "Isn’t that right, the biggest figure in Mingjiang Prefecture... Boss Xuan."

Zhou Xuan remained calm, as if the big figure mentioned by the Engineer wasn’t him.

He smiled slightly and said, "Teacher Gong, you know me, I have always been indifferent to fame and fortune, I have no interest in competing for reputation... But prestige that comes easily, I naturally won’t miss. The Gorge True Scripture I practice, although it has the infinite magic skills of a sage, I am not a real sage..."

"What Boss Xuan said is pretty upfront." The Engineer’s impression of Zhou Xuan was increasingly favorable, and she playfully joked with him in conversation.

Yet Little Brain was at a loss and said, "Xuan Director, you want me to open the Ghost Gate in the projection of Soul Shepherd City, that part I can do, but as for creating momentum, a kind that can threaten Mingjiang Prefecture, I really can’t do that."

"The matter of momentum isn’t yours to handle; you only need to open the Ghost Gate."

Zhou Xuan waved his hand to clarify the task distribution, signaling for Little Brain to carry it out.

The Engineer, however, secretly envisioned how Zhou Xuan would create this apocalyptic momentum this time,

Could it be again that so-called ’false reality’, once more combining ’sound, image, vibration’?

"It’s hard to imagine, I simply can’t think of it."

The Engineer felt a sense of frustration—citizens of the Blood Flesh Divine Dynasty are known for their intelligence, and the Engineer is among the brightest within the Dynasty,

Thus, ever since being released, the Engineer held a sort of intellectual superiority when faced with Zhou Xuan,

But this superiority had been shattered while she was teaching Zhou Xuan the play techniques.

Zhou Xuan not only easily grasped the methods of the play but also related them to other ideas, continuously outsmarting her as a teacher.

However, these things hadn’t brought her genuine frustration yet; she could still justify it—since the play originated from Jing Country, it’s reasonable for Zhou Xuan to have a higher innate understanding of the play, and this doesn’t prove he’s smarter than her.

Yet tonight... the man-made momentum that brought about the descent of Soul Shepherd City, such a feat can’t be explained by the play; it fully manifested Zhou Xuan’s extremely agile mind.

"Now, Boss Xuan is going to create another apocalyptic momentum; looking at his expression, demeanor, it’s clear he has already thought of a highly feasible method... and I... haven’t thought of anything... Could he really be that much smarter than me?"

The Engineer felt an inexplicable melancholy rising,

As for Miss Qiang, who was also from the Blood Flesh Divine Dynasty, she wasn’t filled with such strategy; she was entirely enveloped in the mentality of a little fan, sitting on Zhou Xuan’s shoulder, eager to see how many more fancy tricks "Ah Xuan" had up his sleeve.

...

Soul Shepherd City spanned over Big Curtain Mountain, the Netherworld Bridge like a white ribbon arched across the Heavenly Dome, with the flowing green Nether River below.

On the Netherworld Bridge, dead people constantly fell into the Nether River, their corpses burnt away to nothing.

The entire population of Mingjiang Prefecture was at that moment gazing at that grand bridge; every time a dead person fell, their hearts tightened involuntarily.

As if the ones falling were themselves.

"It could be us... It could be us..."

"Sooner or later, everyone in Mingjiang Prefecture will become the dead people walking on that bridge..."

Pessimism had become the main theme in Mingjiang Prefecture at that time,

Even the few optimistic ones, upon seeing the trembling lanterns of the God Traveling Department, found their spirits sinking into melancholy.

"The gate of Soul Shepherd City has opened..."
