Chapter 316: The Script Panel Opens — Time for a New Alt

Anomalies appeared one after another in Japan and the United States, and the news spread like wildfire, reaching every country's internet across the globe in just half a day.

All around the world.

At every major harbor, warships one after another pulled out of their naval bases, outfitted with massive arsenals and the latest weapons developed to counter the supernatural — rushed into service without time for further testing.

Unable to confirm what was happening with the anomalies in Japan's Shikoku and elsewhere, and in the U. S. state of Nebraska, every country, as a precaution, treated them as threats.

The reason was none other than this.

The Gods' first battlefield — at this moment Earth was at its weakest, most vulnerable to invasion from "the other side."

Although no one yet knew why "the other side" wanted to destroy the past, to annihilate the Primordial Realm, that did not stop people from fighting back.

Gods, demons, and the supernatural were all devoting themselves to the Primordial Realm — how could the people of the Primordial Realm simply sit and wait for death?

The Pacific Ocean, an unmanned sea area.

Kamikawa Mitsu stood atop the clouds, still and silent, his gaze deep. He swept a look toward the United States, then toward Japan, a luminous mist swirling in his eyes.

Regarding the anomalies in the U. S. and Japan, he understood them better than anyone.

In fact, he had known long ago that these places would undergo anomalies, and even knew exactly what those anomalies were.

Every country assumed these anomalies were similar to the mysterious fog, but only Kamikawa Mitsu knew the two were different. The anomalies in Japan and the U. S. were invasions from another realm, while the cause of the mysterious fog remained unknown to this day.

"Digesting the divine and demonic essence blood will still take some time — I'll use this period to earn a few more Script Points."

Kamikawa Mitsu murmured inwardly.

With his current strength, plus 5,000,000 Script Points, dealing with four other-realm incursions might be enough, but factoring in the mysterious fog, it was far from enough — he had to earn more Script Points before then.

Just as he was thinking.

Countless threads of radiant light bloomed in the space around him, weaving together into a portal.

Ashiya Dou and Ashiya Onna stepped out from within, bowing respectfully to Kamikawa Mitsu in unison.

"Young Master."

Kamikawa Mitsu gave a slight nod: "Did you bring the things?"

"We brought them back." Ashiya Dou and the others replied respectfully, stepping forward to hand Kamikawa Mitsu two storage rings: "Young Master, these are the corpses of enemies we slew along the way while searching for experimental lifeforms — thirty-seven in total."

Taking the rings, Kamikawa Mitsu swept his divine power through them.

Thirty-seven divine and demonic corpses — among them, ten at Divine Second Step, twenty-six at Divine First Step, and even one at Divine Third Step.

He looked at the five of them, his gaze settling on Ashiya Dou.

"This trip searching for experimental lifeforms, although you didn't find any, it seems you weren't completely empty-handed. Not bad."

When the five of them were created, their strength was all at Divine Second Step.

And now, seeing them again, Ashiya Dou had clearly stepped into Divine Third Step, while the other four were on the verge of breaking through from Divine Second Step to Third — given the right opportunity, it wouldn't take them long to step into Divine Third Step.

"It's all thanks to the Young Master's merit. Without you sending us to search for experimental lifeforms, we wouldn't have obtained such opportunities to break through so quickly."

The five of them cupped their fists in salute.

"That is also the result of your own efforts."

Kamikawa Mitsu responded calmly to Ashiya Dou's businesslike flattery.

At the same time, he took out the twenty-seven Divine First Step and five Divine Second Step divine and demonic corpses. A bewitching power, like that of a demonic Buddha, erupted, transforming into flames capable of incinerating heaven and earth, refining those corpses.

With one hand serving as a furnace to refine the divine and demonic corpses, with the other he took out the precious herbs and spiritual flowers obtained from the Forbidden Beast Forest and tossed them in.

Ashiya Dou and the others were visibly moved, utterly horrified.

They weren't surprised by Kamikawa Mitsu's masterful refinement — after all, he was the Young Master of the Ashiya family, so knowing some alchemy was perfectly normal. What horrified them was the strength he was now displaying without the slightest concealment.

That heart-palpitating power — this was absolutely not something only at Divine Third Step.

It had already surpassed Divine Third Step.

At the very least Divine Fourth Step — probably even more than that…

They were horrified. How long had it been since the last battle in the Nether Eclipse Realm, when the Young Master had stepped into Divine Third Step? Yet his strength had broken through again.

Truly worthy of being the strongest prodigy in the history of the Ashiya family, one who surpassed Ashiya Douman. With the Young Master here, why worry that the Ashiya family wouldn't march toward even greater glory?

The five of them exchanged glances, and for a moment their reverence for Kamikawa Mitsu rose another degree — both fervent and worshipful.

Far too powerful.

No! We must work harder and improve our strength faster. Even if we can't keep pace with the Young Master, we absolutely cannot fall too far behind — we cannot be a drag on the Young Master.

The pressure in their hearts doubled, and they silently made their resolve.

In the memories Kamikawa Mitsu had given them, they were the Twenty-Eight Mansions belonging to the Ashiya family, and at the same time, the Twenty-Eight Mansions were also subordinates directly under Kamikawa Mitsu — the Family Head had handed the Twenty-Eight Mansions over to Kamikawa Mitsu to command.

Now that Kamikawa Mitsu's strength had advanced again, as his subordinates, Ashiya Dou and the others were unwilling to hold him back. In their eyes, if their own strength held him back, that would be equivalent to tarnishing Kamikawa Mitsu's honor.

They absolutely would not allow Kamikawa Mitsu's honor to be tarnished — especially by their own doing.

When the flames dispersed.

The precious herbs, spiritual flowers, and divine and demonic corpses were gone, replaced by five pills wreathed in glazed-glass treasure-light, their medicinal fragrance wafting through the air.

Just from the fragrance — an ordinary person taking a single whiff could extend their life by ten years; two more whiffs and they could step directly into the supernatural.

"One pill each for you."

Kamikawa Mitsu opened his palm, and the five pills flew toward the five of them:

"Take these pills. They will help improve your bloodlines and talents. I've paved the road for you, but how far you go depends on yourselves."

"We shall absolutely not fail the Young Master's expectations."

The five of them took the pills, cupped their fists in gratitude, their gazes burning with fervor.

Kamikawa Mitsu waved his hand: "Go continue searching for experimental lifeforms. Same as before — do not disgrace the name of the Ashiya family. Leave the divine and demonic corpses behind; when you bring them back, I will refine them into pills for you to help you improve."

"We obey the Young Master's command!"

The five of them cupped their fists, then stepped into the portal and continued on to other realms to search for experimental lifeforms.

As for Ashiya Onna, she flew toward Japan to carry out the mission of protecting Kamikawa Chie.

Before departing, Kamikawa Mitsu did not forget to give instructions:

"Five days from now, you all come back to the Initial Realm for a trip. I will have tasks for you to do at that time."

"Yes!"

After seeing off Ashikaga Dou and the other four, Kamikawa Mitsu gazed at the one remaining God-Demon corpse at the Third Step of Divinity in his storage ring, as well as the five remaining God-Demon corpses at the Second Step of Divinity.

"These corpses should be able to reveal some information about the mysterious fog by now."

Kamikawa Mutsu murmured.

This time, when he summoned Ashikaga Dou and the other four back, besides elevating their bloodlines and talents to give them more room for strength improvement, there was one most important point.

He needed the God-Demon corpses they brought back, preparing to expend Script Points to resurrect the God-Demon corpses, so that these God-Demons could go investigate the situation within the mysterious fog for him.

Unlike shaping the Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions, which required shaping talents, bloodlines, memories, and so on, costing a great many Script Points, this time there was no need to spend so much — only a soul needed to be copied, and then a bit of servant memory added.

After all, they were just cannon fodder, used to probe the mysterious fog; no modification was needed, keeping them as they were would suffice.

He did not rush to resurrect the God-Demon corpses, but instead opened the Script panel first.

He opened the character column and entered the character's name.

From beginning to end, his gaze never left this character's name, fully concentrated as he wrote the information about the character and drafted this Script's content.

This alternate identity would become one of his most important alternate identities going forward; there could be no mistakes, no matter how many Script Points it cost.
