Lin Shen checked each temple one by one. At night, the temples no longer appeared as dilapidated as they did during the day; each one shimmered with light, as though divine beings were hovering above them. The ruined temples seemed to have inexplicably reverted to their former glory, as if time itself had rewound.
Although he had visited many times before, Lin Shen had never examined the temples so thoroughly, one by one.
Lin Shen discovered that the gods worshiped in these temples included many Ghost Gods he had never seen or heard of—most of them completely unfamiliar.
The ones Lin Shen was more familiar with were ancient figures like Nuwa and similar Ghost Gods from antiquity.
For the temples housing deities he didn't recognize, Lin Shen kept a respectful distance. Shi Zhongqing had warned him that some Ghost Gods possessed peculiar Strengths, cautioning him not to get too close—lest he unknowingly fall under their influence, which could lead to trouble.
