Reverend Insanity: The Gacha System

As the tribulation raged on, Zhu Yin suddenly froze in place. A chilling voice echoed in her mind, sharp and accusing, "Hey, b*tch, how dare you use my body for your own ends?"

The moment she heard the voice, an icy dread coursed through her veins. Shivers rippled across her spine, and beads of sweat formed instantly, trickling down her face as though her body was reacting to an unseen predator. In just a single breath, time seemed to halt around her, the world narrowing to the weight of that voice resonating in her head.

"Who are you? How dare you talk to me like that! This is my body—why would it be yours?" Zhu Yin shouted, her voice trembling with anger and confusion. The voice in her mind only laughed, a chilling and mocking "Hehehehe."

"I am the original owner of this body," the voice declared with unshakable authority. "And you tried to take it away from me, all because of the soul you carry."

Zhu Yin froze, her thoughts spiraling as realization struck. The voice—it couldn't be anyone else. "Yue Shiyin," she whispered, the name laced with both disbelief and dread.

"Ah, so you've finally remembered," the voice replied, its tone sharp and biting. "Why the hell are you still alive?" Zhu Yin snapped back, her fear giving way to frustration. "You were supposed to be dead!"

"Such nonsense," Yue Shiyin's voice retorted, cold and calm, as if amused by Zhu Yin's indignation. "Did you truly think I would let you use my body like some idiot's plaything? Don't delude yourself into thinking that just because you have a soul, you can claim what's mine. Do you even comprehend the true power of this body? Hmm... hmm..." Her voice trailed off, yet its chilling presence lingered, leaving Zhu Yin paralyzed with unease.

""No, because Li Tian didn't tell you anything. And the reason he didn't is simple—it was all for you to become a pawn and fall right into his trap," Yue Shiyin said, her voice sharp and chillingly calm.

Before Zhu Yin could fully process those words, Yue Shiyin acted. Utilizing her hidden soul and the immense willpower she had accumulated, fueled by the essence of Love Gu, she initiated a miraculous act of soul replacement. The process was seamless and absolute, for the Love Gu's power was unparalleled—no entity, not even a Venerable, could resist its overwhelming force. The Gu's sheer potency was such that no conflict arose between their souls; Yue Shiyin's will simply enveloped and replaced Zhu Yin's.

Now, the Love Gu was no longer a Gu but an extension of Yue Shiyin herself. By integrating with it, she inherited its miraculous capabilities, unrestricted by the limitations of equivalent exchange. The Love Gu's essence coursed through her being, granting her the ability to rewrite reality in ways that defied all known laws. The sheer magnitude of her newfound power was beyond comprehension, solidifying her dominance in both body and soul.

She could perform miracles whenever she desired, but in reality, such feats required immense amounts of immortal essence. Alternatively, she could utilize her own wills as a substitute, and since she had already integrated with the Love Gu, her body naturally produced Love Wills. Having become one with the Love Gu, now a manifestation of its power in human form, she was no longer bound by its traditional limitations. Love Wills flowed from her effortlessly, a testament to her newfound dominion over this unparalleled power.

With this ability, Yue Shiyin executed a miracle of replacement and capture. The process was instantaneous—the souls were swapped seamlessly, with Yue Shiyin reclaiming her position as the rightful host of her body.

Zhu Yin's soul, now completely subdued, was immediately extracted from the body using a killer move fueled by the Love Gu. The extracted soul shimmered faintly before Yue Shiyin confined it within a binding field of pure Love Wills, ensuring Zhu Yin could no longer pose a threat.

As Yue Shiyin solidified her control, the tribulation raining upon the Gu began to tremble. Its destructive power wavered and, as if drawn by an unseen force, it slowly shifted its trajectory toward Yue Shiyin. The chaotic essence of the tribulation seemed magnetized by her presence, spiraling ominously in her direction.

From a distance, Chan Mu and Lan Mu observed the scene unfold with smirks of satisfaction. Without hesitation, they called out, their voices echoing through the battlefield, "Hey, Thieving Heaven, how long are you planning to wait? My master is in trouble—don't you think it's time you kept your promise?"

As their words faded, a powerful killer move descended from the White Heaven above. The move appeared instantaneously, as if teleporting to the exact location. It collided with the raging tribulation, absorbing its chaotic energy with precision.

The Dao marks within the tribulation were stripped away, leaving the destructive storm hollow and harmless. With its core energy dissipated, the tribulation crumbled into nothingness, becoming no more than a faint breeze before vanishing entirely.

"Hehehe, now everything is done. Master should already be in the merging stage—it's just a matter of time," Chan Mu said to Lan Mu, their laughter carrying an air of confidence and relief as they watched the battlefield settle.

The shift in the tribulation's direction had been orchestrated by Zhu Yin, despite her soul being locked away by Yue Shiyin. Her connection to Heaven's Will had not been completely severed, and her desperate attempt to interfere had exploited this lingering bond. Even as she remained subdued, the fragmented soul that had partially merged with Heaven's Will and Star Constellation acted as a conduit for her willpower.

When Zhu Yin learned through these connections that her clone's soul had been captured, she unleashed the remnants of her strength to redirect the tribulation's destructive force. Her intent was clear: the Gu had to be destroyed or, if possible, claimed for herself. Her resistance stemmed not from allegiance but from her ambition—a desire to harness the unparalleled power of the Gu, even at the cost of betrayal.

The tribulation's chaotic energy, briefly manipulated by Zhu Yin's interference, underscored the depth of her cunning, though it ultimately failed under Yue Shiyin's dominance. This final act of defiance was extinguished as the battlefield returned to a tense calm, the tribulation dissolved into nothingness, and Yue Shiyin stood as the uncontested victor.

"If only you didn't let anger cloud your judgment, you might have been capable of using that brain of yours wisely. But alas, anger makes you predictable—and easy to trap," Yue Shiyin remarked coldly, her gaze fixed on the subdued and shimmering form of Zhu Yin's captured soul.
