Mysterious Revival - Chapter 1120 1086 Yang Jian Manages the Lake

After the supernatural phenomena of the Ghost Lake invaded reality, it became completely uncontrollable. As the lake water spilled, dispersing the supernatural power, the malevolent ghosts originally submerged in the lake now risked escaping and reviving.

Moreover, at this moment, the top layer of corpses soaking in the Ghost Lake had been flushed in all directions with the lake water, and there were pale floating corpses everywhere around.

These corpses began to quickly decompose after leaving the Ghost Lake.

Besides that, the second layer of lake water was also spilling out, and once it dried up, some of the supernatural entities that were in the second layer would be released.

Not to mention the malevolent ghosts imprisoned in the third layer of the Ghost Lake.

Once the third layer of malevolent ghosts is released, it would trigger dozens, even tens of supernatural events in various places. The impact would be even greater than any individual S-level supernatural event.

For this reason, Yang Jian even gave up the plan to annihilate the group in Taiping Ancient Town, choosing instead to release his Ghost Domain to its maximum capacity, attempting to gather the dispersed Ghost Lake again.

The alteration of landscapes by supernatural power is terrifying.

Now, Yang Jian gave his answer.

Within his hundred-mile Ghost Domain, everything became bizarre and fantastical, and the landscape’s changes were happening at an unbelievable pace, as if everything in the world was being casually altered.

Several large mountains rose out of nowhere, cutting through the water bodies.

The ground heaved, and dozens of miles tilted directly.

A barren land suddenly bizarrely sprouted a large river, the river’s waters reversing direction, converging in a manner defying logic.

This phenomenon did not just occur in desolate outskirts.

The alteration of landscapes within a hundred kilometers is a massive impact. Although Zhongzhou City was blocked off with no residents, people still lived in nearby cities and counties, and Yang Jian’s actions were so swift that he didn’t even use the Ghost Domain to block these people’s perceptions.

As a result, this earth-shattering change was witnessed by many.

In a residential building on the fifth floor of a county town.

A man who couldn’t sleep was standing on the balcony with a water cup, eyes wide open, watching the scene before him, unsure whether he was having a hallucination due to a mental breakdown or if he was encountering a mysterious event.

In a place over a hundred meters in front of his balcony, a large mountain had appeared, no, not just one, but a whole range of mountains.

There used to be a river there.

“The buildings, they’re all tilted.”

The man rubbed his eyes and noticed again that all the nearby houses weren’t sitting flat on the ground, but were higher on one side and lower on the other, with an angle of tilt of at least thirty degrees.

Yet it was incomprehensible that under such tilt, no one fell, and the buildings didn’t collapse.

People walking on the tilted ground didn’t feel uncomfortable.

Such phenomena were not isolated.

People also witnessed the city’s landscape changing incessantly within a few minutes, first with the ground tearing into massive rifts like sinkholes, then rivers reversing and flooding like a natural disaster, as if the end of the world was near, but soon the ground closed up, and the rifts vanished.

It seemed as if divine powers from myth were working to stabilize the collapsing sky and mending the cracked earth.

This scene left countless people astounded, some even being kicked awake by others from sleep, dragged to witness such a spectacle.

News spread wildly, disseminating through various channels.

Calls flooded into several departments instantly.

The headquarters were quickly alarmed.

However, upon receiving such news, Cao Yanhua’s first reaction was that a supernatural event had spiraled out of control, with an unknown supernatural power affecting reality, even altering the geographical landscape to a significant extent, reaching a scale that couldn’t be hidden.

“Vice Minister, a massive supernatural phenomenon is occurring near Zhongzhou City….” someone quickly reported.

Cao Yanhua didn’t listen to the staff’s ramblings and slammed the table during the emergency meeting: “This is someone using the Ghost Domain to affect reality, and in the supernatural circle, the only one who can do this is Yang Jian. His Ghost Domain can easily cover a city, affecting reality effortlessly.”

“Does dealing with the Ghost Lake incident require such drastic measures? Can anyone explain what this is all about?”

The conference room wasn’t crowded, but many hurriedly gathered.

“The Ghost Lake is out of control, Yang Jian is altering the landscape to confine the Ghost Lake, but the good news is, Cao Yang has come online.” Shen Liang quickly relayed some intelligence, the latest updates from Feng Quan.

Cao Yanhua paused for a moment, and the staff pulled out the latest satellite maps, projecting them onto the screen.

“Vice Minister, these are the latest satellite maps.”

Many people glanced at them, eyes widening instantly, and couldn’t help but shiver inside.

This—it was no longer the familiar map.

“Oh my, dozens of villages, several county towns, and multiple cities have all relocated, changing their geographical positions.”

“What’s with that mountain range, it wasn’t there before.”

“Several more rivers appeared, wait, they’re disappearing again…the changes are ongoing.”

Even though the headquarters staff had long dealt with various bizarre supernatural events, this was the first time seeing such a situation. The satellite live map displayed all the landscapes near Zhongzhou City, but they were not static; they were constantly shifting.

A moment ago, the map showed that the location was a city; the next moment, the city had shifted dozens of kilometers directly.

Those unaware would think they were watching an animated film.

“What’s the range of the impact?” Cao Yanhua’s face was particularly grave.

“Centered on the outskirts of Zhongzhou City, the impact range is one hundred kilometers.” Someone immediately reported the data.

“What a joke, altering the landscapes within a hundred kilometers exceeds the recorded data in the supernatural circle by tens of times.” Cao Yanhua pounded the conference table with his fist.

He wasn’t blaming Yang Jian for altering the landscape.

To trap the Ghost Envoy, Yang Jian had also altered the landscape, creating a blockade line in Dachuan City, and had erected a high wall, isolating the old city ghosts.

But the range back then was at most within ten kilometers.

However, this time the scale was so vast, does this imply that the supernatural influence has expanded to such a degree?

The underlying dangers were beyond imagination.

“Should we have Yang Jian stop?” Shen Liang asked, trying to keep his voice low: “If all else fails, we can still have Old Qin take a trip.”

“No, let him continue.”

Cao Yanhua outright rejected it, his face grim as he watched the satellite map changes.

His hand was slightly trembling.

Whether from pounding the table too hard or the inner turmoil, unable to remain calm.

But Cao Yanhua understood one thing.

The current Yang Jian was no longer someone anyone could command.

This level of supernatural power meant there was basically nothing that could restrain him.

“Has that high schooler under Zhao Jianguo’s command grown to this extent?” For some reason, Cao Yanhua felt a bit dazed.

Out of so many ghost handlers in the headquarters archive, one remarkable individual had emerged.

At the same time.

Outside the outskirts of Zhongzhou City.

Yang Jian was still standing high in the air, surveying his surroundings, continuing to alter the landscape. He wasn’t changing things randomly and chaotically.

His mind was working quickly, constructing a mental blueprint with various spatial, architectural, geological, hydraulic, and other related professional materials, using a rigorous scientific approach to relocate towns, enabling these areas to avoid the Ghost Lake’s impact while also acquiring better inhabitable land.

This was also to prevent the need for a second relocation later.

At this moment.

The Ghost Lake surged, and the speed of the water level’s decline slowed, even showing a tendency to flow back in, but it wasn’t enough.

Because now, on the lake’s surface, quite a few eerie heads had emerged above the water.

Those were the underwater malevolent ghosts, now with the water reduced, the ghosts were about to reemerge.

On the small black boat.

An elderly man with a monocular eye slightly rotated his pale eyeball, seeing everything happening around, his old face also showing emotion: “The influence range of this young man’s Ghost Domain is so vast, he intends to affect reality, altering the landscape over dozens of miles to confine the Ghost Lake within this area, minimizing external impacts.”

“This is a blockade at great cost.”

Boss Liu said: “But this is also the method with the least risk, better than letting the Ghost Lake spiral out of control.”

Indeed, in terms of the Ghost Domain, Yang Jian is the most formidable existence in the supernatural circle.” Cao Yang also took a deep breath, watching.

He never expected Yang Jian to be so ruthless, directly altering the terrain to restrict the spread of the Ghost Lake.

But such a large-scale action can’t be done so meticulously, and some weird things will still be washed out by the lake water and remain outside; that’s when someone is needed to fill in the gaps.

Ah Hong sprang into action at this moment.

She disguised herself as Wei Jing and possessed Wei Jing’s supernatural power while maintaining the appearance.

At this moment, she also possessed the Ghost Domain.

Darkness engulfed, and the surrounding corpses were swallowed up, then gathered together and sank into the lake once more.

A corpse that had never decomposed for years was carried by the current to an unnoticeable spot on the ground, surrounded by a large pool of water. As the water almost dried up, the corpse faintly twitched as if showing signs of resurrection.

But the next moment, the darkness roamed over.

Ah Hong extended her hand and grabbed the corpse, dragging it directly into the darkness.

“Splash!”

Immediately, a splash was heard as the corpse on the verge of resurrection returned to the Ghost Lake again.

Collecting corpses is an extremely dangerous task.

It requires someone who can suppress fierce ghosts to take action, and Ah Hong is the best choice so far.

The revival of these corpses happens too quickly, giving no opportunity to detain them, and with too many of them, they can only be dealt with in emergency, throwing them back into the Ghost Lake.

As one corpse after another was recovered, the situation seemed to improve.

But at this moment, Yang Jian looked grave: “The Ghost Lake isn’t ordinary water; it can’t easily be siphoned back. If this continues, more and more fierce ghosts will escape from the Ghost Lake and revive.”

He observed that when the water from the Ghost Lake overflowed, it was incredibly slow to flow back.

Because the overflowing lake water was repelled by the supernatural power of the fierce ghosts in the lake, but there was no supernatural interference in reclaiming it.

“Ah Hong, I need you to clear the waterways and channel all the Ghost Lake Water through these rivers,” Yang Jian called out.

Ah Hong was momentarily stunned and then understood what Yang Jian meant.

She nodded, said no more, and plunged into the river.

The next moment, the river surged, and the Ghost Lake Water, influenced by the supernatural power on Ah Hong resembling a Ghost Envoy, was forcibly thrust back, forming a countercurrent trend.

“However, she alone can’t influence the overall situation.” Yang Jian saw that, even with all her efforts, Ah Hong could only clear one waterway.

He pondered for another solution.

Soon, Yang Jian looked down and saw the lake water beneath his feet.

“I have stolen 40% of the Ghost Lake’s supernatural power; against the 60% of the Ghost Lake, I have no chance of winning, but I have the upper hand against the supernatural lake water that overflowed.”

Realizing this point.

The lake water beneath his feet surged violently; the ground cracked, and a waterway appeared out of nowhere, connecting to other water bodies.

The lake water belonging to Yang Jian began to invade all water bodies within a hundred kilometers.

At this moment.

The situation reversed.

The lake water in the Ghost Lake was affected, all reversing back in.

The rising tide lifts all boats.

The black boat floating on the lake at this moment was no longer descending; instead, it was rising.

The three people on the boat saw this change.

“He succeeded, the Ghost Lake has been subdued.” Boss Liu’s sharp eyes caught this change instantly.

If everything runs smoothly, in less than an hour, a new Ghost Lake will form.

Moreover, the impact radius of the Ghost Lake will shrink to within ten kilometers.

“The range is controlled, but with a portion of the supernatural force removed, the ghosts inside might not be entirely suppressed? And by the looks of it, Taiping Town is going to flood.”

The one-eyed old man slightly turned his head towards the direction of the ancient town.

Cities can migrate, rivers can be redirected.

But the Ghost Lake cannot be moved, and neither can the Taiping Ancient Town.

Now the Ghost Lake is spreading; the ancient town is too close. With the backflow from the lake, mixed with water from other rivers, the flooding of the ancient town is inevitable.

“I can’t let the ancient town disappear under my watch.” The one-eyed old man had a somewhat ferocious expression at this moment.

He had guarded it his whole life; how could he stand by and watch as the ancient town drowned in the Ghost Lake?

“You better not act rashly, or your head will roll,” Cao Yang warned them sternly, staring coldly at them.

“Just you? A rookie who sunk in the lake?” The one-eyed old man replied angrily.

Cao Yang said: “Yang Jian has already crippled you, I’m enough to take you down.”

In his hands appeared a red scissors entangled with black hair.

Boss Liu immediately advised: “Stop, it’s no longer the time for us to act rampantly; the youngster above us has given us enough face. Right now, he’s fighting the Ghost Lake; if he turns against us, we really would be wiped out here. Don’t forget, that dog is still around.”

The one-eyed old man fell silent at these words.

He still had some tricks left, enough to take out a few opponents, but as for the Evil Hound… he really had no solution.

This fierce ghost that invades dreams is too restricting for people like them.

He couldn’t help but touch his neck.

The flesh on his neck healed, but the wound was still there. Just a touch, and the wound ripped open into a gaping hole, as if his head was about to fall off again.

The impact of the Firewood Knife was still severe and not something that could heal in a short amount of time.

“Indeed, the black boat is filled with bad luck; we can’t escape it either,” the one-eyed old man said silently.

He knew he had already lost.

Being seriously injured himself, Old Liu was unwilling to take action, and the Faceless Person remained neutral.

The determined Cleaning Lady, however, was bitten to death by the dog.

It seemed the Taiping Town was indeed indefensible.

“It’s best to remain still,” Cao Yang said, coughing twice again, spitting out lake water.

He had been soaked for too long; even though Yang Jian had fished him out, the supernatural influence of the Ghost Lake remained, preventing him from maintaining peak condition. If he were to act, he wasn’t very confident.

The lake water continued to backflow.

The water surface rose, and the ghosts whose heads had appeared above the lake earlier were once again submerged and gradually disappeared from sight.

Cao Yang saw with his own eyes a dead man’s head protruding from the water, eyes open, scanning the surroundings, sending chills down his spine.

However, as the lake water inundated, the dead man slowly closed his eyes again and returned to the lake for another sleep.

But.

The Ghost Lake was no longer the Ghost Lake it had been.

Even though Yang Jian had successfully stopped the Ghost Lake’s spread, the balance of the Ghost Lake had ultimately been broken.

A corpse’s head with disheveled hair, floating on the water, would not submerge no matter how high the water rose.

It was like a water buoy, constantly floating there.

Moreover, it was moving.

Heading towards the shore.

The fierce ghost was breaking free, attempting to escape the Ghost Lake’s restraint.

Although such cases were rare, there were several scattered instances.

This fierce ghost, which couldn’t be suppressed, was evidently the most terrifying existence in the Ghost Lake.

Thus, the real danger was just beginning.
