This is a city of deathly silence.

The layout of the city is exactly the same as Dachang City in reality, but this city is empty, and the surrounding quietness is somewhat frightening.

Yet at this moment, Yang Jian is walking alone on the deserted streets with the Ghost Child. With every step he takes, he leaves behind a bloody footprint. Those crimson footprints connect together, becoming deeper in color from far to near.

“This should be the last Ghost Domain world I’ve constructed, and it will also be my tomb. Fortunately, this Ghost Domain world is built within that gold statue, so even if it completely loses control here, it won’t have the slightest impact on the outside.”

Yang Jian continued walking forward, while blood began to seep from his entire body. It looked incredibly horrifying, yet his expression remained calm, showing no concern for his condition.

“I initially wanted to take one last stroll around this city, to reminisce a bit, but now in my current state, I’m afraid I won’t be able to walk far.”

When he paused his steps, he found himself in front of the school gates.

No. 7 Middle School of Dachang City.

Everything in the Ghost Domain world is fake. This school, although it looks the same as in reality, is as deathly still as other places in the city, devoid of any vitality.

“Well, my path as a ghost master began here, so it should also end here.”

Yang Jian consumed another packet of Chinese medicine, then regained a slight bit of his condition, leisurely walking into the school. When he reached the familiar playground, he stopped and sat down.

The Ghost Child followed along the way, standing still beside him when he sat down.

Yang Jian was still bleeding, even Chinese medicine couldn’t stop it, only alleviate it slightly, just to buy a little time. After all, now the supernatural power he possessed already surpassed quite a number of top ghost masters from the Republic of China Era. If Chinese medicine couldn’t prolong Zhang Bohua’s life, naturally it couldn’t prolong his life either.

At this moment, he fixed his gaze on the Ghost Child and slowly spoke: “My second step plan has long been prepared, and there’s no possibility of failure. The only uncertainty is ultimately whether I survive or you survive. If I survive, I will transcend the ghost master and replace you to become a special existence. If you survive, then you will inherit everything from me, including my memories, and carry out my responsibility.”

“To this world, it doesn’t matter who survives, as either will become that unique existence.”

“To play it safe, and also to restrain you, before that moment, I will give you one last command, which will be permanently branded on you like the rule of killing.”

The Ghost Child remained motionless, tilting its head slightly as if it didn’t understand Yang Jian’s words.

Yang Jian, however, quietly murmured to himself: “When the supernatural resurgence begins, the fierce ghosts reappear, and all beings suffer in distress, the moment people call your name, you will manifest in this world, driving away ghosts, banishing evil, saving people and promoting good.”

The Ghost Child, ignorant and unaware, accepted this command and then waited for the moment to execute it.

But just that isn’t sufficient.

The Ghost Child lacks a living consciousness and does not possess the ability to carry out this rule of killing.

But Yang Jian does possess it.

Thus, Yang Jian can perfectly supplement this aspect, hence the next step is to further the growth of the Ghost Child, and only a Ghost Child with Hungry Ghost ability can perfectly inherit everything he possesses, so there’s no need to worry about the issue of fierce ghosts’ resurgence anymore.

Therefore, Yang Jian was not afraid, instead surprisingly calm, then he extended his arms, embracing the Ghost Child.

His body glowed red and was still bleeding, the whole person seeming to melt.

Yang Jian rapidly disappeared, merging into the body of the Ghost Child.

He was using his own body as feed, nurturing the Ghost Child, allowing it to grow once more.

Because if Yang Jian died, the Ghost Child would die too, but if the Ghost Child inherited everything from Yang Jian, then it would not disappear, but rather eliminate its last weakness to become a completely independent existence.

However, who’s consciousness this independent existence will ultimately bear, no one knows. Perhaps the Ghost Child will devour all of Yang Jian, or perhaps Yang Jian’s consciousness will replace the Ghost Child under the protection of the Ghost Dream.

Soon.

Yang Jian completely disappeared, and at the same time, the Ghost Child quickly matured.

At this time, the Ghost Child was no longer a little child. It, like the Hungry Ghost from before, grew into its third stage, transforming into a youth of roughly seventeen or eighteen years old, this boy had fair skin, resembling Yang Jian almost identically, yet with a few traces of innocence.

However, he ceased to move, seeming to be in a state of sleep, quietly standing in place.

Because there were no fierce ghosts in this Ghost Domain world.

The command left by Yang Jian before his disappearance could not be executed.

Only when the Ghost Domain world disappears, the gold statue is shattered, and someone calls his name again, will he awaken and manifest in the world.

Thus, he will wait here for a very long time, until all the conditions are met.

But no matter what, Yang Jian has already completely disappeared from the real world.

His disappearance doesn’t seem all that important.

Perhaps someone will feel sad, but more people will just continue living.

“Yang Jian is gone, what do you plan to do next?”

Inside the old house, Wang Shanshan was still alive; she didn’t die due to Yang Jian’s disappearance. She looked at Liu Xiaoyu and the dispirited Jiang Yan.

“I still have to go back to continue working. The current person in charge of Dachang City is Feng Quan, and I need to assist him in continuing to handle supernatural events,” Liu Xiaoyu said with some bitterness.

Wang Shanshan continued to ask, “Before Yang Jian left, he had already settled everything. Supernatural events will surely become less frequent in the future, and it won’t take long before you lose your job. What do you plan to do then?”

“I don’t know. Maybe I will retire early and enjoy life, or maybe I will do something I am interested in,” Liu Xiaoyu shook her head and said.

“I plan to go back to my hometown to take care of my aunt. If there’s a chance in the future, I will return to Guanjiang Residential Complex and wait for Yang Jian to come back again,” Jiang Yan said at this time. “He said he would appear in sixty years; I think I can wait until then.”

“Are you really planning to wait?” Liu Xiaoyu was surprised, “But can you live until then?”

“Why not? Yang Jian left me a big sum of money, so I won’t need to work in the future and can focus on keeping healthy. Living past eighty will be easy. I don’t believe that when Yang Jian appears again, he can refuse me,” Jiang Yan said somewhat defiantly.

“That seems to make some sense,” Liu Xiaoyu got somewhat shocked by Jiang Yan’s reasoning.

“Wang Shanshan, what about you? What are your plans?” Jiang Yan asked.

Wang Shanshan glanced at the statue placed in the third room on the second floor: “I plan to renovate this old house into a temple, placing Yang Jian’s statue in the center, and then I’ll stay in this temple, not going anywhere, guarding all of this for Yang Jian.”

Their conversation was intermittent.

But in the end, by evening, they eventually disbanded.

Only Wang Shanshan remained in the old house, along with the nine eerie coffins.

“Maybe I should find a chance to bury these coffins. Keeping them so conspicuously here is always a hidden danger,” Wang Shanshan glanced at the coffins and mused silently.

But there were still living people lying in the coffins, so she couldn’t do it yet.

She could only wait slowly, waiting until the people inside came out or were completely dead before she could act.

Day by day, time passed.

Just ten days after Yang Jian’s disappearance.

In a strange clearing in Dahai City, suddenly out of nowhere appeared a person, disheveled, wearing a loose nightgown, barefoot on the ground, holding a twisted and peculiar long sword, looking like a madman.

But beneath the disordered hair, there revealed a pair of sharp eyes.

“I want to purge all the fierce ghosts in this world, so tragedies never happen again,” Ye Zhen shouted crazily.

He ultimately overcame his inner demons, left the dream realm, regained his strength, and followed the path Yang Jian left for him to break the boundary between reality and the supernatural, successfully returning to Dahai City. If Yang Jian hadn’t left a way out, Ye Zhen wouldn’t have been able to break through the layers of hell-like ghost domains and would have been trapped there alive.

But after experiencing all this, Ye Zhen seemed to have transformed into another person; the innocence was gone, replaced by a nearly insane obsession.

Ye Zhen then strode away, disappearing into the black night.

It’s a pity that the disappearing Yang Jian couldn’t witness this moment of Ye Zhen returning to the supernatural circle.

However, the future is rapidly improving, just as he planned.

One month after Yang Jian’s disappearance, there was a noticeable decrease in supernatural incidents domestically, and many cities restored order.

Three months after Yang Jian’s disappearance, some locked places began to reopen because there were a few people in the supernatural circle who were madly catching ghosts: one being Ye Zhen, disheveled and armed with a long sword, another being the Ghost Envoy Wei Jing, handling supernatural incidents everywhere with a Ghost Rope, and a peculiar person wandering the city at night whose appearance couldn’t be remembered…

Half a year after Yang Jian’s disappearance, the situation was completely under control, with domestic supernatural events remaining only in a few places, marking a return to the era of supernatural revival, while the new generation of ghost controllers in the supernatural circle began to decline, gradually disappearing from everyone’s view.

One year after Yang Jian’s disappearance, the supernatural circle no longer existed in the country, and supernatural events abroad started disappearing as well.

Three years after Yang Jian’s disappearance, global supernatural events were very scarce, and those that occasionally appeared were caused by the resurrection of fierce ghosts after the death of ghost controllers.

Ten years after Yang Jian’s disappearance, supernatural events nearly vanished, and the headquarters disbanded many departments, starting to seal off all supernatural information and archive materials.

…

The era of the supernatural was temporarily ended.

But those who truly know the inside story understand very well that this era of terror and despair will descend again sixty years after Yang Jian’s disappearance.
