Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1090 - 1086: Divinity

The incense wishing power surged like a red tide. Even though Shen Siyuan, Xiao Yue, Dou Dou, and Duoduo fully activated their magical treasures to absorb it, most of the wishing power still dissipated into the air like smoke.

But Shen Siyuan did not feel distressed.

After all, in this world where the Divine doesn’t manifest, the least scarce thing is incense.

With the population explosion, temples everywhere have accumulated a vast amount of incense, waiting like untended treasures for those with fate.

His current concern was never about a lack of incense wishing power, but about how to better utilize it.

After all, he’s neither a water pump nor a bottomless pit and can’t absorb wishing power indefinitely; there’s always a limit.

The safest way is to channel all this incense wishing power into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and Mountain and River Mirror.

These two magical treasures are extraordinary, with a high capacity, enough to carry a massive amount of wish power and slowly refine it, nourishing themselves in return.

However, before that, he must fully control these two magical treasures.

Otherwise, if they absorb enough incense wishing power and their spirituality skyrockets out of control, it would be quite a joke.

But now is not the time to think about these things in detail. As the red tide in the sky gradually dissipated, Shen Siyuan moved, transforming into a bright radiance, heading towards his own balcony.

At this moment, the balcony was already bustling.

Jiang Yingxue and others had already finished breakfast and were sitting together chatting over tea, even Lin Jianming and his wife from next door had come over with Lin Wentao.

Lin Wentao was crouching in a corner with Tang Tang and Xiao Ya, playing a game of building blocks, their laughter crisp and clear.

Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi had purposely not gone to work today, waiting on the balcony for Shen Siyuan’s return.

Zhong Xiaonan was also present, sitting quietly off to the side, appearing quite serene.

When the dazzling light streaked through the sky and landed steadily on the balcony, everyone stood up, their faces filled with awe.

Only Tang Tang remained sitting on the ground, looking up with a curious gaze towards the sky.

The light faded away, gradually revealing Shen Siyuan’s figure.

His clothes were fluttering, surrounded by a faint red glow. The way he traveled with Light Tunneling was like an immortal descending to the world, leaving everyone present dazzled and envious. Legend told of immortal tricks, and this was something like that, wasn’t it?

Lin Jianming was the first to react. He walked briskly forward, his face showing expressions of urgency and concern: "Mr. Shen, where is my Duoduo? Why didn’t she return with you?"

Earlier, seeing their daughter rush off as a red light, the couple had been on edge and couldn’t settle their hearts.

"She’s well," Shen Siyuan casually assured, "She has important matters to handle and will return in a few days."

The answer was vague, but Lin Jianming knew better than to press further.

He understood that his daughter was now a Yin God, with her own duties and missions. She couldn’t rely on her parents for everything like before, and as a father, he could only silently support her.

Actually, Dou Dou, Xiao Yue, and Duoduo had already been put into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner by Shen Siyuan.

To say "put in" might be an exaggeration; it was more like the three had "eaten" too much.

The massive amount of incense wishing power flowed into them, far exceeding their capacity to endure. They had to enter the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to use its power to help digest and fully absorb this power to stabilize their Divine Souls.

"Did something happen when you left in such a hurry?"

Ruan Hongzhuang approached, gently brushing away non-existent dust from his shoulder, her tone full of concern.

Shen Siyuan smiled, shaking his head: "Something did happen, but it’s a great thing."

Hearing this, Ruan Hongzhuang finally relaxed.

Everyone present was curious to know what the good news was, but they were tactful enough not to ask. There are things that don’t need to be asked; it’s about respecting boundaries.

"Oh~"

At this moment, Tang Tang suddenly pushed through everyone’s legs from the crowd, coming forward with a slightly puffed-up expression on her little face.

Shen Siyuan smiled and reached out to hold her, but she quickly turned away, showing him her back, with her little arms crossed in front of her chest, in a "I’m really mad, don’t talk to me" manner.

Clearly, the little one was still upset about not being taken along by Shen Siyuan earlier.

"You cheeky little thing, holding grudges now?"

Shen Siyuan laughed helplessly, reaching to pat her little head, his tone full of affection.

At this moment, Jiang Yingxue, who had been standing quietly by, suddenly spoke with a hint of curiosity: "Xiao Shen, you seem a bit different than before."

"Different? In what way?"

Shen Siyuan spread his arms, playfully spinning around to let everyone see.

"I can’t quite say, but it feels like... your whole aura has changed."

Jiang Yingxue smiled, looking towards the others, "What do you all think?"

With her reminder, everyone began to closely observe Shen Siyuan.

"It does seem a bit different."

Huang Huijuan nodded, as Shen Siyuan’s mother, she knew her son best, "Calmer than before? And more imposing?"

Everyone agreed, feeling that Shen Siyuan had indeed changed, but no one could pinpoint exactly what had changed. They only sensed an invisible aura around him, inspiring reverence.

At this moment, Tang Tang, who had been sulking, suddenly leaned towards Shen Siyuan like a little puppy, sniffing him with her nose.

Her strange action reminded Ruan Hongzhuang, Taozi, and Zhong Xiaonan of something.

"It’s sandalwood scent." The three spoke in unison, their eyes full of surprise.

"Sandalwood scent?"

Jiang Yingxue heard them and instinctively sniffed the air but couldn’t detect anything, "I don’t smell anything."

The Lin Jianming couple and Huang Huijuan also took deep breaths, but apart from the lingering perfume scent, they didn’t find any sandalwood aroma, their expressions puzzled.

Ruan Hongzhuang, Taozi, and Zhong Xiaonan exchanged glances, finally understanding Shen Siyuan’s transformation.

The subtle sandalwood scent was not an ordinary fragrance; it was the aroma emanated from the fusion of incense wishing power and divinity.

That they could smell it and sense it clearly was because all three had embarked on the path of cultivation, with spiritual senses far exceeding those of ordinary people.

The change in Shen Siyuan was precisely that faint trace of divinity.

After being refined by the massive incense wishing power, his Divine Soul had become even more profound, naturally exuding the unique majesty and harmony of a Divine being. His aura had grown transcendent, markedly different from before.

After a lively buzz, everyone gradually left, leaving only Ruan Hongzhuang, Taozi, and Zhong Xiaonan on the balcony.

No, Tang Tang was still there.

The little one, previously angry with Shen Siyuan, was now sitting on his lap.

"Mr. Shen, you probably know why I’m here, right?" Zhong Xiaonan said.

Shen Siyuan laughed upon hearing her: "The commotion was a bit much, but things were urgent back then, and I forgot about it at the time."

"Could you tell me what exactly happened?" Zhong Xiaonan asked curiously.

But then hastily added: "If it’s inconvenient to share, that’s alright too."

"There’s nothing I can’t tell."

Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi listened with curiosity and looked at him expectantly.
