Because he had always been able to see his Guardian Spirit and had felt that warmth and heat that didn't exist for others, the scene he saw didn't change at all. To him, the big fox was still right there, quietly watching him.

He didn't mind the dirt on the ground, and under the fox's gaze, he sat down heavily with a sense of reassurance, then took out the Cyan Bamboo Tube again and took a big gulp.

The coolness spread out, dissipating the fatigue in his body, and he took a long breath, feeling much better... Then he looked at his Guardian Spirit and then at the pile of ashes in the distance. The Wet Woman was precisely sniped without any splash damage to the surrounding environment.

He couldn't help but slightly pull at the corner of his mouth.

Indeed very strong, but the duration is too short, although it was partly because he had consumed a lot before, and now he's in the Dark Realm.

But it barely lasted ten seconds before he was drained, which is indeed a problem...

To solve this problem, either continue to add points, as adding points can solve all problems; or quickly master special forces like Spiritual Power and Magic Power.

Thinking carefully, if he wants to fully exploit the Nine-tailed's potential and harness its powerful strength for his use, it's best to pursue both avenues. This thing has infinite potential but is not something he can control right now... It's like a child swinging a large hammer; it looks fierce, but it's beyond his control ability, and a slight mistake can easily hurt himself.

Because the Nine-tailed is an extremely powerful Guardian Spirit.

Its nine tails harbor immense Demonic Power and are said to bring either a chaotic world or a peaceful one upon its appearance, leading to a pivotal change in current world affairs...

This might not be mere bragging, as not only does the system endorse it, but also Gu Mo's understanding and the information he has mastered, as well as what he just felt, all seem to align. Guardian Spirits encompass a wide range; most are conventional, but the few top-tier ones have extraordinarily "bug-like" powers.

——Like Minamoto no Yoshiie's Guardian Spirit, Anma Tengu, which can traverse time and space...

——Or like Ootakemaru's Guardian Spirit Makura, which reads the guardian's thoughts and tirelessly aids in realizing their wishes...

——And like William's Guardian Spirit Sesha, which bestows the host with the ability to rewind death, virtually allowing for infinite rebirth...

Compared to these mind-boggling, terrifying Guardian Spirits, things like Eight Hundred Wave Princess granting eternal youth or the Celestial Eye Peacock foreseeing the future, and Six-tusked Elephant manipulating celestial phenomena to affect battlefield climates seem trivial by comparison.

The Nine-tailed is likely similar. Its abilities might not be as "bug-like" as the above but instead affect fate in a subtle manner. However, its inherent power is undoubtedly immense.

Especially in Gu Mo's recent perception, he felt as if his body had become a component of a mysterious ritual, turning into a circuit connecting the Spirit Body and the material world. In the rapid consumption of Spiritual Power, connections to realms beyond the human world were established, forming a brief passageway.

Thus allowing a vast power from that unknown dimension to squeeze even a tiny fraction into the real world...

As if using his presence as a base station to transmit the signal from over there to here.

However, due to his own "communication technology" issues, bandwidth, latency, etc., were life-threatening, greatly limiting the signal transmission from over there... As a result, despite calling upon the Guardian Spirit's strength, only a small fraction could be summoned.

That is to say, the big fox summoned by the Guardian Spirit just now, though appearing in the present world, was still not its entirety, merely the tip of the iceberg... Yet, even so, just summoning a fraction had already drained his energy in no time.

It's clear the path forward remains a long one.

"And it can still be upgraded..."

Remembering the submenu the foolish system provided for the Guardian Spirit, Gu Mo felt a twitch at the corner of his mouth, and in his confusion, his liver began to hurt faintly. If the Nine-tailed were to upgrade through the foolish system via his hand, it surely would grow even stronger, thus raising the usage requirements accordingly?

Afraid that it might just exhaust me to death...

A crisp sound of footsteps arose, and a black-haired girl briskly walked over. Seeing him sitting on the ground, she subconsciously sighed in relief. Even though she had been constantly sensing and paying attention to his energy fluctuations, confirming nothing was amiss, seeing it with her own eyes was reassuring.

Looking at the room burning at the end of the corridor, with the fire showing a tendency to spread, Hidechika slightly raised an eyebrow.

Circling her body was a massive shadow resembling a shark swimming in the void, which leaped into the fire... If ordinary people were present, they would likely notice that although it did nothing, the spreading fire gradually subsided and eventually extinguished.

"No need to go back. Fujikichiro is a clever person. After discovering the Dark Realm receding, he will surely come to find us proactively..."
