he was just an ordinary mortal, so what was there to complain about with such a miraculous turn of events?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person as insignificant as an ant shouldn’t dream of reaching for the heavens—no point spouting childish words about rebelling against fate; better to accept it and enjoy it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for accepting fate, he believed he must also shoulder the corresponding responsibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like working at a company—if your boss promotes you and raises your salary, you must take up the burden and deliver him a stellar performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he had chosen to accept fate, what should he do next?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continue helping the dead fulfill their wishes, gain merit, and repair the [Ten Thousand Souls Banner].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or find a way to eliminate the corruption of the Netherworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, these two tasks weren’t conflicting—only by striving to repair the [Ten Thousand Souls Banner] and strengthening himself could he hope to eradicate the corruption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corruption could be eliminated; Buddhism had methods to purify it, and Daoism had techniques to transcend tribulations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, within the Nine You  Demon Lord’s memories, there were naturally methods to deal with the corruption, the most powerful of which was to use the corruption as a root to manifest the Six Desires Heavenly Demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, using the Six Desires Heavenly Demons as the main soul of the [Ten Thousand Souls Banner], one could at that point become a Buddha or an Ancestor, capable of toppling the Jade Emperor from his throne and dragging the Buddha from his lotus seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just thinking about it made his mouth water—but then he remembered his current strength: not only could he not manifest the Six Desires Heavenly Demons, even if he could, they would devour his body and unleash demonic chaos upon the mortal realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how you slice it, one’s own strength matters most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Banner Master Brother… Banner Master Brother… look at me… look at me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duoduo’s excited voice interrupted Shen Siyuan’s thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, the Netherfire Firefly darted like a butterfly among flowers, circling her fingertip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What surprised Shen Siyuan even more was that the netherfire that had just been rising from her body had vanished entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impressive—you’ve mastered controlling the Netherfire Firefly so quickly,” Shen Siyuan couldn’t help but praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He added, “And your netherfire—can you control it fully now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?” Duoduo looked down at herself in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, netherfire burst forth from her body, then vanished just as quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duoduo looked up at Shen Siyuan, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if to say, Do I really need to learn how to control this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Siyuan was speechless—he thought of Doudou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duoduo was the kind of prodigy from xianxia novels—absolute talent—while Doudou was just a lowly outsider, one heavenly, one earthly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One didn’t need to learn how to control it—it came naturally; the other had struggled for so long and still couldn’t master her own netherfire—truly, one was heavenly, the other earthly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Yin Xingyue, she was in the middle tier—not great, not terrible—and much older than the two little ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tomorrow, I’ll introduce you to two companions,” Shen Siyuan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Companions?” Duoduo tilted her head, adorable as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she still instinctively cupped her small head with her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, one older sister and one little sister…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, a sudden gust of yin wind slipped through the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh no, oh no…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doudou landed on the ground and rushed frantically toward Shen Siyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But halfway there, she suddenly noticed another young lady inside the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She froze in place, eyes wide with shock, staring at Duoduo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why the panic? What’s wrong now?” Shen Siyuan tapped her small head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doudou didn’t answer that question; instead, she quickly shielded her head and stared at Shen Siyuan in amazement. “Who is this young lady?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s Duoduo. You two must get along well,” Shen Siyuan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Yin Xingyue materialized as a gust of yin wind and entered the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier downstairs, she had seen Doudou riding a howling yin wind from afar; though it was night, the flames burning atop her head made her glow like a firefly in darkness—unmistakably bright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the little puppy hadn’t followed—Yin Xingyue knew the pup feared Doudou, so she hadn’t brought it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was also startled by Duoduo’s sudden appearance, but quickly understood what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Siyuan explained everything to the three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then turned back to Doudou. “Tell me—what’s going on? Why the panic?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I saw that old man with the feather duster again—he’s chasing me,” Doudou said, still trembling with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Siyuan frowned. “Didn’t you say last time you spat fire at him and scared him off? Then why are you afraid now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m afraid he’ll beat my butt with the feather duster!” Doudou replied matter-of-factly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Siyuan had no way to deal with this little thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing Shen Siyuan’s disappointment, Doudou added, “I spat fire at him, but he hid. When I left, he chased me again—he’s so annoying…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Siyuan frowned. “Didn’t you ask him why he’s chasing you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doudou shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Siyuan turned to Yin Xingyue. “Go with Doudou and find out what’s going on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Xingyue nodded. Shen Siyuan added, “Be careful, protect yourself—if danger arises, use the Netherfire Firefly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Doudou suddenly remembered her Netherfire Firefly—then it crawled out from her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She treated it like a pet, never thinking of it as a weapon she could command at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Xingyue nodded, grabbed Doudou’s wrist, and summoned a yin wind to depart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait,” Shen Siyuan called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Duoduo, standing nearby. “You go with them too—follow the older sister’s lead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three little ones rode the yin wind, whooshing out the window into the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching them leave, Shen Siyuan didn’t idle—he began practicing the [Eighteen Forms of Great Arhat]. He couldn’t rely solely on merit—he had to improve himself bit by bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They say exercise is addictive because it releases dopamine and endorphins, helping people grow fond of it and find joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Practicing the [Eighteen Forms of Great Arhat] is also exercise—stretching meridians, muscles, and bones brings pain, but also excitement and pleasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, in this state, Shen Siyuan felt his mind unusually alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was now considering the future arrangements for the three little ones.\u003C\u002Fp>",1117,"2026-06-20T03:53:08.657Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","22ede5a96a187762b432fb190bef71c5df19e4773fb113572255937af9ef6fba","i-m-not-crazy-this-is-the-emperor-s-banner-chapter-86","i-m-not-crazy-this-is-the-emperor-s-banner-chapter-84",623,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-not-crazy-this-is-the-emperor-s-banner-cover.jpg"]
