Chapter 451: The Eastern Dawn

Seeing this, Chu Jiang quickly made a decision, "Then I’ll leave here first. As long as I can send the Two Realms Bell out, even if Slender Man has many tricks, they won’t work."

"It might not be so easy to leave…" Chen Yehua said, but his words were interrupted by a buzzing sound from the satellite phone. The communication was cut off.

Chu Jiang didn’t mind. He no longer tried to delve deeper into the Ghost Domain, but instead gradually retreated, layer by layer.

But something strange happened. Chu Jiang retreated eleven layers in a row, but he didn’t leave the Ghost Domain. It was as if Slender Man had woven extra layers – the zeroth layer, negative first layer, negative second layer…

So Chu Jiang stopped and felt a sense of confusion: Was he being underestimated?

Chu Jiang assessed himself, Chu’s Jiang’s potential was as unfathomable as ever. Even Expert Chen analyzed that Slender Man was likely unbeatable head-on, which was why he chose unconventional methods.

Since that’s the case, his strategy shouldn’t be so conservative. This mainly stemmed from Chu Jiang’s past tendency to be overly cautious. After all, in his understanding, ghosts could make countless mistakes without dying, but humans could easily perish with just one mistake.

But now, Chu Jiang himself was a ghost. He could be reckless!

Thinking of this, Chu Jiang stopped walking and took back his Ghost Domain, allowing himself to be exposed in Slender Man’s Ghost Domain.

Chu’s Jiang as a whole fell into absolute silence, then in the most extreme death, gave birth to vitality.

Then Chu Jiang started shining, his whole body was like a sun full of endless vitality, radiating strong life energy outward!

This is the power of transforming death into life in the ability of "Controlling Life and Death." Chu Jiang used the supernatural power of Black Sun to release it indiscriminately.

If a living person is exposed to this light, they would only feel warm all over, nothing would happen. But anything related to ghosts would shatter and fall apart under this power.

Originally, Slender Man’s Ghost Domain suddenly moved to a small island in the Pacific Ocean, continuing to "awaken" the dead here.

But at this moment, the entire Ghost Domain, whether it was the first layer or the hundredth layer, showed signs of instability and disintegration under Chu Jiang’s illumination.

So Slender Man had to stop his work, and for a moment, the Ghost Domain seemed to disappear, even those lost souls and ghosts also vanished at the same time.

Chu Jiang, however, was stunned because he could perceive that the Ghost Domain didn’t actually disappear; instead, Slender Man had expanded it infinitely!

You need to know that the Ghost Domain itself has its limits in size, but how extreme is this ghost phenomenon? At this moment, it has engulfed the whole world within its Ghost Domain!

So, the Ghost Domain has only been diluted to the point of being invisible, but it doesn’t mean it has disappeared.

And for Chu Jiang to destroy this Ghost Domain, he must let the light radiating from him spread throughout the world, at least covering half of the area.

This made Chu Jiang shake his head and murmured, "Do you really think I can’t do it?"

Chu Jiang raised his right hand and pointed to the sky, declaring that it was now nighttime.

In less than a breath, the whole world synchronized into darkness! No matter the region, latitude, or hemisphere.

This caused panic among those who were originally in daylight.

Official institutions in various countries started to panic as well. Such a massive abnormal change not only overwhelmed the local police with phone calls, but also meant that the possibility of continuing to hide the truth from the public was zero.

Then Chu Jiang soared into the sky, broke through the atmosphere, and entered the satellite orbit in space…

When the whole world was in darkness, people instinctively looked up at the sky. In just a few seconds, they saw the sun rise from the east!

Or you could call it the moon, because its gentle light doesn’t have the hotness of the sun, and it makes people feel peaceful without realizing it.

Under this radiation of power, all the powers that come from death, whether it’s ghosts or Ghost Masters, suddenly felt a sense of oppression.

But the ghostly presence Ghost Domain, which Chu Jiang intentionally targeted, was not just a little oppressive.

When the white sun circled the globe, Ghost Domain completely collapsed.

However, at the same time, countless pale-faced, ghost-like figures appeared all over the world!

This sparked a new round of panic, but luckily these ghosts didn’t attack ordinary people, they just opened their eyes at the same time.

These deceased individuals have one common characteristic – they once existed in this world; and now, they do carry some of their former life’s aura.

At the moment they opened their eyes, a crisp bell sound rang throughout the entire world!

In that moment, whether human or ghost, everyone heard the sound of the bell. It left many people confused, wondering what was happening in the world. Could it be that humanity was truly on the brink of extinction?

Chu Jiang had no choice but to return to Earth’s atmosphere from outer space because the Two Realms Bell flew back on its own!

Slender Man seemed to have figured out a way to activate the Two Realms Bell, and did so effortlessly.

Now, the Two Realms Bell mistakenly believed that the countless deceased were living people who had mistakenly entered the "afterlife" and needed to be returned to the "real world."

The Two Realms Bell continued to shake and ring incessantly. To make matters worse, scattered around the world, these deceased individuals suddenly found themselves facing doorways materializing out of thin air!

These doorways existed in a state between solid and translucent, visible even to ordinary people.

However, at that moment, the ordinary civilians who found inexplicable "ghosts" appearing next to them were already terrified, and it was impossible for them to contend with the deceased for these doorways.

In theory, only if Chu Jiang could instantly multiply into tens of thousands of himself and arrive alongside each of these deceased individuals at the same time, would he have a chance to stop Slender Man.

Otherwise, as long as even one deceased person entered the world behind the door, it would mark the end of the real world as a place without ghosts.

It also meant that Chu Jiang and Research Institute No. 21’s efforts would be completely destroyed; from now on, humans and ghosts could never be separated again.

Even if Chu Jiang could catch up later, it would be useless, because even if he could become the sun of life and travel around the world, he could still only concentrate his power on a specific point.

But as long as Slender Man doesn’t actively show the Ghost Domain and doesn’t come out to fight, Chu Jiang can’t accurately find it and launch a targeted attack.

What’s even worse, Slender Man could use the time difference to close all the portals once it goes in; after all, if it has figured out how to activate them, it’s likely that it knows how to close them too.

In this case, if the ghost shadow kills the only living person in the real world, Zhang Haoran, then Chu Jiang and the research institute would probably take a very long time to find a way to activate the Two Realms Bell, without the precious sample.
