Below the Village Viewing Platform, everything in Fengdu City was so insignificant.
They were like gods overlooking all living things from high above. When had they ever really cared about the life and death of mortals who were as insignificant as ants?
"In this world, a person's lifespan isn't completely limited.
If a person does good and accumulates good karma, he can increase his lifespan. If he does evil, he will have to bear karma and his lifespan will naturally decrease. This is the law of heaven and earth. "
"That's right. We all know that."
However, Ling revealed a ferocious sneer.
"Laws of Heaven and Earth?
The Laws of Heaven and Earth?
What a huge joke! "
What is Heaven?
What is earth?
"When I was alive, I believed in Daoism and had great merit.
Originally, I could have obtained a hundred years of lifespan, but it was forcibly taken away by the Judge! "
After hearing Zero's words, Xiahou and Jiao Shi seemed to have understood something.
"I only found out the reason why the lifespan accumulated by my Yin virtue was forcibly taken away.
A considerable number of ghosts obtained incense through cultivation, and then offered a portion of it to Yan Luo Dian to obtain more lifespan and return to the world of the living.
This was reality.
However, this required a high enough cultivation base. Since the Xiahou family's cultivation base was not high enough, they could only resort to sneaking into the netherworld.
In essence, there isn't much difference. "
"Then … you were deprived of your lifespan?"
"Of course.
In reality, money was used as a transaction item by those with power and influence. In the netherworld, people used their lifespan to exchange for the coins of the underworld.
This is the naked reality. "
"Then … why are you still alive today?"
Ling's smile became even more sinister.
"I used the same method as them," Zero said with a cold smile. "What others can do, why can't I?
However, the dignified Emperor of Hell, the Emperor of Feng Du, was actually so despicable and shameless. The real place of the Six Paths of Reincarnation was on the Bridge of Helplessness.
But … they had arranged for a new reincarnation pool beneath the Homeward Viewing Platform!
And there were the ghosts of those who had done great deeds.
Send them to Samsara and secretly shorten their lifespans! "
"Village Viewing Platform's … underground?"
"Yes.
That is Fengdu City's secret reincarnation ground. "
In front of Ye Xiang was a huge square.
There was a thick smell of blood.
Innumerable vengeful spirits were struggling with all their might!
"These ghosts will not be judged by His Highness the King of Hell. When they die, they won't suffer any disease or injuries.
Moreover, because they can't go through the formal process of reincarnation, they can't drink Granny Meng's soup, so they will definitely maintain their previous life's memories. Thus, they will be thrown into the Beast Path and the Hungry Ghost Path. They won't even have the chance to be reborn as a human! "
This was … the cruel truth!
Like the Enchanted Valley, Mount Lakmar, it was a paradise and a hell.
It was no different from the netherworld. The so-called fairness did not exist in this world at all!
"Going against the Laws of Heaven and Earth. Wouldn't such actions suffer the wrath of the heavens!?"
"Haha … Heaven's wrath?
Only the Bridge of Helplessness and the Yan Luo Dian after that were places where the laws of Heaven and Earth were the strictest. As for the Village Viewing Platform … hmph, it was like the capital of the Celestial Empire, Beijing, and an ordinary prefecture-level city.
How could it be the same?
Over the long years, ever since I began to pay tribute to the underworld in exchange for my lifespan, I swore that I would completely control my life and death.
I would never allow my soul to return to the netherworld!
And there are only two ways to achieve this. First, to overcome the second Heavenly Tribulation, break through the void, and become an immortal!
The second way.
Is to enter Yan Luo Dian and snatch the Book of Life and Death! "
Although Zero had always said that the Xiahou family was crazy, the real crazy person was actually himself!
"So … you've been planning to sneak into the netherworld?"
"In this world, Qin Shihuang is not the first and definitely won't be the last to seek immortality.
The greedy nature of humans will never change. Humans, ghosts, gods, immortals, there is no exception.
As long as there is wisdom, there will be desires.
And the Xiahou family is the best target that I've found.
However, with the Qinguang Of Silla overseeing Yan Luo Dian, I've always been worried about how to attack … so to solve this problem, I have to get the Qinguang Of Silla to leave Yan Luo Dian. "
All of Zero's conversations were conducted through telepathy. No one could hear him.
Hearing this, how could Xiahou and Jiao Shi not understand?
"So … you were the mastermind behind the Xiahou family's Green Lotus?"
"Naturally.
Moreover, if I had not used this secret to blackmail the Qinguang Of Silla, as the King of Feng Du, why would he, as the King of Hell of the Ten Courts, come to the world of the living and marry a mortal family like the Xiahou family? "
Thinking about it, that was indeed the case.
The Xiahou family was indeed famous in the world of the living, but even the head of the family, Xiahou Shi Ye, could not reach the level of an earth immortal. What reason did the King of Hell have to marry the Xiahou family?
There was only one reason. If the Xiahou family knew that Yan Luo Dian had secretly set up the Reincarnation Pool, stripped others of their merit, and accepted bribes from ghosts, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The Xiahou family were not dead and could not be controlled by the netherworld.
If it was an ordinary person, they could also reduce their lifespan in the Book of Life and Death. But they were martial cultivators. Even if they could not become immortals, martial cultivators could increase their lifespan. It was just that they could not live forever and were not completely controlled by the Book of Life and Death. Therefore, it was naturally best to marry them in exchange for this secret to be buried.
"I see … after that, through your plan, the King Of Hell could not return to Yan Luo Dian!
In that case, Xiahou Yewang's existence is also yours? "
"Of course.
But all of this was done by Xiahou and Green Lotus, while I manipulated everything behind the scenes.
This way, with Nightking Xiahou as the Crown Prince of Hell under my control, I can openly obtain the map of the Netherworld!
Fengdu is simply too big. Even I, who had been to the netherworld, could not draw a detailed map. Only through the accumulation of countless ghosts over the years can we obtain a complete map that leads directly to Yan Luo Dian! "
"If that's the case … then why did you personally … release Yan Luo Dian?"
"I can only say that the Xiahou family is too conservative.
Their plan was to set up the Chaotic Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation on the Bridge of Helplessness. This would allow the bloodline of the Xiahou family to step onto the Bridge of Helplessness after death. Their souls would then activate the Chaotic Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation, allowing their souls to be transported from the netherworld to the world of the living and then be reborn!
Ridiculous!
I am not a member of the Xiahou family. Even if this plan succeeds, what good would it do me?
Therefore, only by forcing them to enter Yan Luo Dian would I have the chance to obtain the Book of Life and Death!
As long as the Book of Life and Death is in my hands, I will no longer need to allow my lifespan to be controlled by Yan Luo Dian!
On the contrary, I am the real King Of Hell! "
King Of Hell?
As Dante uttered these villainous lines, his heart was filled with disdain for the identity of the King Of Hell.
In the past, he was the 19th King of Hell!
The so-called King Of Hell was nothing in his eyes!
As for Zero's mastermind, Ye Xiang was naturally unaware of it.
He would not have been able to get his hands on the script if he had not been involved in the scenes.
However, the Reincarnation Pool that had appeared in front of him was emitting the most terrifying curse of all!
Countless vengeful spirits had been secretly pushed into the Reincarnation Pool to be reincarnated as beasts. Just by relying on the shadows left behind by the passing of time, they were able to form a terrifying curse!
Just by standing here, one could feel the mournful and sorrowful cries of the vengeful spirits!
This was the real Hell!
"That's … where the curse is located?"
Ye Xiang looked at the Reincarnation Pool, which was emitting a bloody and sinister aura. At this moment, all three of them were unable to move an inch, as though they were treading on thin ice!
"How is this possible …" Yue Guang gasped as she felt the sinister aura. Just how many vengeful spirits were emitting this curse?
All around them, a large number of ghostly shadows appeared constantly.
A large number of ghostly shadows passed by Ye Xiang and Yue Guang from time to time. In fact, some of them even passed right through their bodies!
Just then, Yushun … began to react.
She began to absorb the intense resentment of the ghosts. She began to feel …
Just then, Ye Xiang looked at the vast amount of Yin energy in front of the Reincarnation Pool. It seemed to be hiding something!
"That's …"
Ye Xiang suddenly realized something!
"Ox-Head!
Horse-Face! "
The Reincarnation Pool was guarded by Ox-Head and Horse-Face!
