Guessing that Vishi is the Ghost Prophet is hardly difficult.

Or rather, he never intended to hide himself.

A strange Holy Sanctuary Mage, not only well-versed in divine secrets but also possessing the Miracle to directly dominate the souls of Legendary Mages, acts in a bizarre and cruel manner. With so many factors combined, and given that even a dog would know the Ghost Prophet just revived in the Distant Realm last month, it would be odd if Ash and Weiser couldn't guess that Vishi was the Ghost Prophet.

Moreover, they've both read the "Ghost Manual" more than twice; Weiser studied the Ghost Prophet's ruthless subtlety, while Ash simply enjoyed it as a dark fantasy novel to pass the time. Therefore, they were very familiar with the Ghost Prophet's style of behavior and manner of speaking—even though the "Ghost Manual" only recorded the first half of the Ghost Prophet's life, as someone who had lived two lives, his values were already set, so there would be little change in the latter half.

In fact, that was the case; when Vishi appeared, Ash felt a strong sense of déjà vu. If he had to describe it, it was like having just read a horror novel where a ghost knocks on the door three times before killing, and then hearing knocking at his own door as soon as he closed the book—Vishi gave him that 'horror fantasy becoming reality' feeling.

It was precisely this preconceived notion that allowed Ash to quickly recognize his true identity.

While healing, Ash relayed the intelligence about the Four Pillars God Sect following them to Silver Lamp, who immediately judged: the Four Pillars God Sect was likely in cahoots with the Ghost Prophet, possibly even led by him. The cowardly Mercury Wooden Horse wouldn't dare participate in such world-overturning destruction events.

But after recognizing the identity, Ash and Weiser were left with an even bigger question: why has such a resurrected being, who had stepped into the Divine Domain, come to this Newbie Village in Senluo?

Although Vishi could certainly bully the weak, in today's mage world, bullying the weak in reality means virtually nothing. After all, mages have very little desire for real-world resources; only those who can't make it in the Void Realm would choose to engage in real-world affairs. Prospective mages wouldn't even consider outside disturbances and are reclusive, staying home studying Magic and exploring the Void Realm.

The strength you have in reality is false, only in the Void Realm is true strength recognized.

Moreover, the six realms are all the Divine Lord's preserves. If the Ghost Prophet really dared to cause trouble, he'd probably be vanquished by the Divine Lord, so many people speculate that after his resurrection, the Ghost Prophet would hide in dark corners to slowly develop.

However, Vishi not only didn't hide but initiated a great calamity that entangled the Fate of all life in Senluo. Even if he enjoyed the spectacle of bloody chaos, he was now burdened by his own troubles, so how could he squander his energies on amusement?

Only now did Vishi's arrogant ambition reveal itself to Ash and Weiser.

He wants to seize Lord Zhan's Divine Being!

Lord Zhan isn't even dead, still clinging to life, yet he dares to seize Lord Zhan's Divine Being within Lord Zhan's domain! Moreover, he's still in a Mortal Body, to hold divine power in such a form is difficult enough, let alone hold someone else's Divine Being!

Even though through a series of designs, the Divine Beings could no longer move. In order to seal the doomsday loophole, their main bodies were unable to resist external influences, like being stuck behind walls; truly a once-in-a-millennia opportunity for coercive takeover. Even Ash felt a small stirring in his Heartbeat just thinking about it.

But as for how to brainwash them into slaves under the state of divine recognition, Ash and Weiser didn't even have a rudimentary idea, let alone put it into practice.

They were quite sure that methods to forcibly seize Divine Beings were extremely rare even among Divine Lords—a miracle that even mortal mages could hardly achieve was only known to someone like the Ghost Prophet, an Evil Mage reincarnated from a sewage treatment plant, who even had the guts to enact such foul knowledge in reality.

Truly worthy of the Ghost Prophet, easily accomplishing what normal people dare not even consider!

Thus, Ash and Weiser firmly stood by the Three Gods' side, Magic Power circulating, glaring intently at Vishi.

Fate is so enigmatic, truly it defies prediction. Just minutes ago, the Three Gods were hunting Ash and Weiser, and Vishi was aiding them, yet now Ash and Weiser were actively defending the Three Gods against the mysterious and inscrutable Ghost Prophet.

If the context changes, one must adapt.

Although allegiances shifted dramatically, everyone's core demands remained unchanged. The Three Gods were always aiming to hasten Lord Zhan's demise, and the Senluoians were a heavy burden on Lord Zhan, so they wanted to limit Weiser's inheritance of the legacy and slay the snakehead smuggler Ash to ensure the Senluoians continued to weigh heavily on Lord Zhan.

Now with too many Senluoians dying too quickly, if further deaths occurred, Lord Zhan himself might revive, so they had to seal the doomsday loophole. Whether the world is saved or destroyed is of no consequence to them.

Vishi wants to seize the Divine Beings, so he can't let the Three Gods kill Weiser, the bearer of the Destructive World Technique, yet he also needs to trigger the apocalypse to restrain the Divine Beings. As for salvation or destruction, if one must say, someone like Vishi probably leans more towards destruction; after all, burning someone else's garden is the most spectacular.

And as for Ash and Weiser...

They actually didn't care about the world's rise or fall, or to put it another way, they don't care enough to willingly sacrifice everything.

Weiser, not to mention, was already psychologically prepared for the end, ready to embrace her 'eternal future' in falsehood, and Ash was similar. He wasn't the type to bear the burdens of others' Lives randomly or to evoke unjustified guilt.
