Chapter 156: The end, the Netherworld is open for business! (48, bonus for monthly votes)

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!

A wild wind howled, and the long banners snapped in the air.

Following the worship of the six deities, the second and third tail banners of the Six Liu Liu Hun Fan fluttered high.

Swish!!

In an instant, the immense power of the curse within the Six Liu Liu Hun Fan transformed into two streaks of ghostly light, shooting out and flying into the vast expanse of time and space.

"Will it have an effect?" After finishing the worship, Meng Meng Wu You felt that their own fortune had been reduced quite a bit.

"Unless the two of them have become Great Luo, it will definitely be effective!"

"Even if they have become Great Luo, they will still have to stumble!"

Ming He had seen with his own eyes how the Radiant God Emperor had perished; he himself had nearly accomplished the feat of cursing a Great Luo to death, so he knew well the terror of the Six Liu Liu Hun Fan.

"To be safe, let's worship once more!"

Meng Meng Wu You, with the intention of delivering a finishing blow, brushed and wrote down the names of Seeing Shen Ni and the Primordial Metal Qilin.

"That works too."

Ming He nodded. "I will distribute some merit to you all to boost your fortune."

"We won't end up having bad luck, will we?" Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi looked nervous; they still remembered vividly how they had been tricked back then.

Could they not know what kind of fortune Ming He had?

"Rest assured, rest assured. There might be risks at other times, but not at this moment."

Ming He said with a chuckle, "Now that the tribulation energy is rising everywhere in the Xuantai Universe, my 【Virtueless Great Dao】 is like a fish in water here."

"After such a long time of research, I have already been able to control the way the Great Dao distributes merit to a certain extent."

"There is absolutely no problem."

Ming He patted his chest in guarantee, yet Guang Chengzi and the others still accepted the killing tribulation merit with skepticism.

Meng Meng Wu You and the 【Five Elements Demon God】 Xiao Song also accepted it gladly.

After all, using the Six Liu Liu Hun Fan was indeed highly taxing; even they could not handle two consecutive worships.

Whoosh, whoosh!!

Two banner tails fluttered up once again.

"Hmm? The Dao body has been extinguished?"

After the Primordial Metal Qilin, who was there to stir up trouble, left behind a Dao body to watch the show, he returned directly to the Primordial True Realm.

At the Metal Qilin Ancestral Land, the Primordial Metal Qilin received the information sent back by the Dao body at the final moment.

"Taiwei Yuan? The Honorable Chenxing of the Water Yao?"

The Primordial Metal Qilin lifted his head slightly, gazing at the starry sky of the Heavenly Cycle: "Could it be a force from the boundless sea of stars?"

His Dao body had died too abruptly, seemingly taken out in one wave by some peerless killing divine ability.

"The other few deities from the underworld should be related to the Netherworld of the Primordial."

"Seeing Shen Ni seems to be there too, but I don't know if there are other forces."

"There must be at least one Great Luo present; otherwise, even if that fellow Greed were stupid, he wouldn't have been schemed against like that. That Radiant God King is very suspicious."

The Primordial Metal Qilin deduced based on some information, but strangely, he could not calculate anything about the Tai Xu Realm; everything concerning it was empty, as if the entire Tai Xu Realm did not exist within ancient history.

"Why can't I calculate anything about the Asura Realm either?" The Primordial Metal Qilin frowned slightly. It was normal that I couldn't calculate the Radiant God King who appeared in the Taiwei Realm; that guy is likely a Great Luo.

Why can't I calculate information about the Asura Realm? Could it be that the Great Love God King is also a Great Luo?

"That shouldn't be right. If they had two Great Luo Supremes, why wouldn't they push over the Xuantai Universe in one go?" The Primordial Metal Qilin was puzzled, feeling as if he had missed some information.

Those who could prevent his calculations either possessed top-tier spiritual treasures or were peerless powerhouses.

A Great Myriad World clearly cannot give birth to a Supreme Spiritual Treasure; it is only possible that a peerless powerhouse has exerted influence.

It couldn't be that a master of the Heavenly Secrets path just happened to be hiding inside, could it?

As the Primordial Metal Qilin pondered, he suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness.

"Who is it!"

The Primordial Metal Qilin was horrified; in the dark, a terrifying thought was being imposed upon him.

He could not know cause and effect in reverse, but the Primordial Metal Qilin had seen this symptom before!

Isn't this the exact symptom that appeared on that guy Greed?!

"I've been exposed!" Knowing he was cursed, the Primordial Metal Qilin first suspected if he had made a mistake somewhere. Logically, he had a Primordial Supreme Treasure in hand and it should have been impossible for even a trace of causal evidence to be detected.

But since his Dao body was first blocked by the Honorable Chenxing and now his true self was cursed, this could only mean he had been targeted from the very beginning!

In fact, the Primordial Metal Qilin was overthinking it entirely.

The problem did not originate from him; even he, relying on his Divine Hidden Dao Fruit and Primordial Supreme Treasure, had indeed deceived everyone in the Xuantai Universe.

But while he was hidden tightly, a leak had appeared on the Honorable Wuliang.

The Five Elements Demon God had discerned the aura of the Xiao Qian Kun Demon God on the Honorable Wuliang, and Xuanqing had long suspected his identity.

Therefore, with the intention of killing two birds with one stone, he directly took a blind shot and wrote down the Primordial True Name of the Primordial Metal Qilin.

The aura of the curse had already locked onto the Primordial Metal Qilin.

This was also why, as soon as he appeared to stir up trouble, Xuanqing knew who was sabotaging things.

That was why he had the Ancestral Dragon block his path.

And now that this curse had descended, it was purely because Xuanqing was busy, and Meng Wu You was helping to deliver the finishing blow.

"Xiao Qian Kun Reversal!"

Having witnessed the terror of the curse, the Primordial Metal Qilin dared not be negligent; he immediately took out the Xiao Qian Kun Cauldron to suppress himself.

The shadow of the Primordial Metal Qilin suddenly stood up from the ground, while his true body lay down and transformed into a shadow.

He completed the transfer of cause and effect in an instant.

Boom!!

The shadow Metal Qilin that stood up was cursed to death on the spot.

However, before the Primordial Metal Qilin could catch his breath, another wave of intense drowsiness descended.

"Again?!"

The Primordial Metal Qilin's eyes went wide.

On the other side.

Seeing Shen Ni and the Corpse of Xianggu were celebrating their successful escape.

"This time was our smoothest one yet!" The Corpse of Xianggu laughed loudly; the reason was simple: no one had died!

A smile also appeared on Seeing Shen Ni's handsome face: "This time we snatched the Great Luo Soul Light and performed several sacrifices; the harvest is bountiful!"

"The opportunity to become a Great Luo lies within it!"

Seeing Shen Ni's tone was firm; he had a premonition that his opportunity for Dao attainment had arrived!

"That's fantastic!" The Corpse of Xianggu was happy for him. Although they hadn't obtained the Dao Fruit this time, they had snatched the Great Luo Soul Light that had completed its transformation, which could be considered as obtaining Great Luo power in a roundabout way.

Using this as a sacrifice, they might be able to trade for good things from the Chaos Demon Gods!

"Let's go, we'll return to the Undying Mountain to summon souls right now!"

"We might be able to cause a huge stir and fulfill our beautiful wish of wreaking havoc on the Primordial!"

Seeing Shen Ni was full of confidence; he shouldered the Chaos Coffin and was about to tear through the void to return to his Dao field.

Thump~~

Just as he took a step, Seeing Shen Ni suddenly felt dizzy and fell down with a thump.

"Seeing Shen Ni!" The Corpse of Xianggu exclaimed, supporting the Chaos Coffin with one hand to prevent Seeing Shen Ni from being crushed to death.

"You, you, you... what happened to you?"

The Corpse of Xianggu felt a tightening in his heart, looking at his partner in a panic.

This time he had kept his promise and hadn't abandoned Seeing Shen Ni to flee!

How could he still be dying!

"Cur... curse." Seeing Shen Ni's lips had almost lost all color, his complexion was terrifyingly gray, and he looked on the verge of death.

"What?" The Corpse of Xianggu thought of the few Honorables who had been cursed to death.

"Send me back to the Undying Mountain, quickly!" Seeing Shen Ni's voice was extremely weak.

"Okay!"

The Corpse of Xianggu displayed a rare moment of reliability; he hurriedly shouldered Seeing Shen Ni and carefully sealed him into the Chaos Coffin.

"Hey, hey, hey, Seeing Shen Ni, you have to hold on, don't die!"

"Master Xianggu kept his promise and didn't use you as a shield this time, so how can you die?"

"If you die, it's because you didn't keep your end of the bargain!"

"Then don't blame Master Xianggu for emptying out your Undying Mountain and inheriting your legacy."

He directly swung his long spear and returned to the Primordial True Realm at high speed, rushing through countless Dao domains and disturbing countless timelines along the way.

"Who is this? In such a rush to go home for a funeral?"

"Pangu's axe, who smashed my Dao field!"

"Oh my, my alchemy crucible, the Soul-Returning Pill I just refined!"

"God-damned, who snatched my Soul-Fixing Bead!!"

One deity after another was so angry they were cursing.

"Those who block me die!"

The Corpse of Xianggu was extremely fierce, holding his long spear and shouldering Seeing Shen Ni's Chaos Coffin, heading straight for the Undying Mountain.

Along the way, he also dissolved countless Dao bodies to raid various Dao domains, collecting every heavenly material, earthly treasure, and spiritual pill he could use.

He truly lived up to his own words: timid in the Primordial, but throwing heavy punches across the Myriad Realms!

Xuantai Universe.

As Xuanqing delivered the final blow of the Primordial Seal, evolving the phenomenon of Chaos birth and destruction, everything came to an end.

The Honorable Wuliang's brow was pierced, and his soul essence was directly blasted to death.

He fell from the River of Time and Space into Chaos; the true meaning of the Great Dao, which destroys all laws and ends all things, was rapidly disintegrating his form and spirit. The Honorable Wuliang gazed at the figure above the River of Time and Space.

Vaguely, he saw the 【Fuli Primordial Heavenly Sovereign】 sitting in the Azure Heaven.

That figure was draped in seventy-two colors, with a bright, clear circular light hanging behind his head, evolving the phenomenon of Chaos birth and destruction.

In his hand, he held a Li Pearl, emitting boundless light, containing everything in the universe within it.

A hint of unwillingness appeared in the Honorable Wuliang's eyes.

Finally, he smiled with relief.

"Today, although I die, I am still the Greed Demon God!"

The Honorable Wuliang looked at Xuanqing and said calmly: "I was born for the Dao, presiding over greed; all sentient beings in the world can never escape the shackles of these two words!"

"Even if I am extinguished today, one day, I will return."

"Do you have any last words?" Xuanqing's tone was light and very gentle.

He was always tolerant toward the dead.

He did not deny the Wuliang Law either.

A Great Da Da Luo Zhi Zun, once attained, is attained forever.

No matter how weak the Honorable Wuliang was, he possessed the characteristics of a Great Luo.

He was a Great Luo in his past life, a Great Luo in this life, and if he returned smoothly in the next life, he would certainly be able to attain the Great Luo Dao.

Even because this guy had played with faith, deities who played with the path of faith in the future would have to be careful.

Suppressing greed or abstaining from greed would become a required course for practitioners of the path of faith.

Otherwise, it was very likely to become a reality anchor for his return.

"Aren't you worried that I will wreak havoc on your orthodoxy in the future?" The Honorable Wuliang asked.

Xuanqing was surprised: "What kind of confidence gives you such an idea?"

"I can kill you now, and I can kill you just the same in the future."

"Even if you crawl out of the River of Time and Space, I'll just kill you again, won't I?"

In front of him, once a loser, always a loser.

Let alone wreaking havoc on Xuanqing's orthodoxy, even if the Honorable Wuliang returned in the future, if he couldn't go to the Pre-Heavenly Era and take back everything that belonged to the Chaos Demon God, it would be a question of whether he could even beat the disciples and grandchildren of the Chan Sect.

"And another thing, who told you that a Great Da Da Luo Zhi Zun can definitely return from the River of Time and Space?"

Xuanqing looked at the wide-eyed Honorable Wuliang and said calmly: "If I want to nail your coffin shut, I have at least nine ways, nine ways!"

"Do you know or not?"

"So, don't think about such unrealistic things; you'd better just honestly transform into the Dao!"

Xuanqing reached out, and the Three Treasure Jade Ruyi flew into his palm.

"Treasure, send him on his way!"

"Alrighty!"

The Three Treasure Jade Ruyi rushed out directly.

"Treasure, die, ya ya ya!!"

Thud!!

The Three Treasure Jade Ruyi slammed into the Honorable Wuliang's crown, directly shattering his true spirit.

"Treasure, go in peace, and don't die near me again in the future, okay."

"Did you remember? Treasure!"

The Honorable Wuliang stared wide-eyed, dying with his eyes open.

It was unknown if he had been shamed to death by the Three Treasure Jade Ruyi.

However, looking at his final expression of unwillingness to admit defeat, he should have really wanted to know what methods Xuanqing could use to nail his coffin shut.

"The dust has settled, time to go back!"

Yuan Huang waited for a long time, but still didn't see the scene of the Great Universe's destruction; she shook her head with some disappointment.

"Oh my, missed an opportunity to save the world, what a pity."

Yuan Huang carried the Yinghuo Halberd on her back, standing tall in the void, looking heroic.

"Isn't this quite good? At least what Fellow Daoist Comrade Ji Du did was already quite good!"

The Ancestral Dragon watched with a chuckle as the Honorable Wuliang entered extinction.

"Our Taiwei Yuan expedition this time has taken down two potential threats and saved the boundless sentient beings of two Great Universes, liberating them from the slavery of faith; the harvest is bountiful!"

"Can this universe be incorporated into the jurisdiction of our Taiwei Yuan?" Yuan Huang's eyes sparkled, and she said: "It just so happens that the divine court system here is quite complete; we could totally build a Heavenly Court right here!"

Yuan Huang truly couldn't stop thinking about a Heavenly Court.

At this moment, Xuanqing returned to the Xuantai Universe.

He smiled: "We have to go back and hold a grand meeting for that, wait for everyone to vote together."

"That's true."

Yuan Huang realized belatedly.

"By the way, don't forget to write the travelogue; we promised Fellow Daoist Zhenxing." Yuan Huang reminded him.

"The travelogue has long been taken care of."

Xuanqing smiled slightly, and in his hand appeared a Heavenly Book and a pitch-black divine pen, which were the relics of the Honorable Wuliang.

"Wuliang has the habit of keeping a diary."

"Ah?"

Yuan Huang and the Ancestral Dragon looked at each other.

"In that case, the Honorable Wuliang wasn't a serious deity either." Yuan Huang said firmly.

The Ancestral Dragon nodded: "Exactly, what serious deity writes a diary."

Xuanqing expressed deep agreement with this.

"Is there anything else to do here? If not, we're going back." Yuan Huang said.

The Ancestral Dragon's eyes rolled, and he smiled: "Fellow Daoists go back first, I still have some business."

"What business do you have?" Xuanqing and Yuan Huang were curious.

"Well... I also need to write a travelogue." The Ancestral Dragon's expression was sincere.

The Honorable Wuliang transformed into the Dao, and the collapse of his source of faith did not affect the sentient beings of the universe.

How could his ability to convert compare to the Honorable Dao Ran?

The boundless divine light in the hearts of sentient beings had long been dispelled by Xuanqing.

After he died, Xuanqing returned all the power and blessings he left behind to the believers through the Radiant God Banner.

After worshipping the Heavenly Sovereign for so long, shouldn't the Heavenly Sovereign thank everyone upon transforming into the Dao?

Afterward, Xuanqing took the opportunity to change the memories of sentient beings regarding faith, focusing on the Tai Xu State model, turning this system into one of entertainment culture rather than religious nature.

Just have some pan-faith; believe if you want, get lost if you don't.

Just have some entertainment in daily life; the faith system is poisonous!

The cultivation system was also reorganized based on the characteristics of this world.

"Heavenly Sovereign!" The Wheel-Zhuan Lun Sheng Wang came to see Xuanqing.

"You take charge of the underworld for now; Fellow Daoist Jiuyou's return might take some time."

Xuanqing said as much; the Honorable Jiuyou Bazui had transformed back into a spiritual treasure and currently had no plans to return to being a deity.

Perhaps he wanted to rest for a while.

"Yes!"

The Wheel-Zhuan Lun Sheng Wang continued to maintain the operation of the Nine Netherworlds as usual.

The incense divine path was still being promoted, but it followed one rule:

"The people and the deities have different industries; respect them without profaning them. The deities bestow blessings, and the people enjoy the goods; disasters do not arrive, and needs are not lacking." (Note 1)

In short, mutual benefit.

Currently, this path was being cultivated by ghosts and deities, which was equivalent to an extra cultivation option for sentient beings after death.

Xuanqing planned to pull this minor underworld into the Netherworld system.

The Wheel-Zhuan Lun Sheng Wang would just happen to become one of the Netherworld Yama Kings!

"By the way, we should draw in a River of Yellow Springs!"

Xuanqing thought of the River of Forgetfulness.

Thus, a river appeared in the minor underworld.

"Finally, I can extend the tributaries to another underworld!"

The River of Forgetfulness arrived, traveling happily through the underworld, and countless tributaries began to spread following its footsteps.

"Can our Netherworld be open for business now!"

The River of Forgetfulness came excitedly before Xuanqing.

"Of course!"

Xuanqing smiled: "This will be the first stop for our Netherworld to open for business!"
