Chapter 541: Human Gods

It seems that the experience of fighting together previously made the high-level officials of various countries a bit friendlier, or perhaps the remaining crises they faced forced everyone to unite; in any case, the world during this period fell into a rare peace, at least on the surface there were no more wars, and instead, various charitable and aid projects were in full swing.

Aiding poor and backward countries.

Providing food and shelter for those with no one to rely on and those who were displaced, and bringing warmth and care to orphans.

Even stray cats and dogs benefited from this.

Chen Shu often saw similar things on the news.

Until this autumn, Chen Shu returned to Bai City with Qingqing, arrived at the Yuanzhou Fangti, sat on the edge of the Fangti, ate homemade mooncakes, and admired the moonlight.

The green mountains were burdened with snow, and the bright candles illuminated the south of the sky.

Suddenly there was an anomaly between heaven and earth, extremely faint, having no effect on the vast majority of living beings, and even most cultivators could not feel it.

Subsequently, more than ten vast wills descended, which were also unfelt by ordinary people.

The Forbidden Land opened, and the gods returned.

"They have returned."

Chen Shu raised his head and looked far into the distance.

Behind him came only a sound of agreement, soft and gentle from Qingqing.

Calculating the time, it was about right.

From returning to Earth from the "Hall", the time taken for a one-way trip was basically about half a year on Earth.

Chen Shu savored the mooncake, and also carefully sensed the wills of these gods, as well as the impact they caused on the world the moment they returned; he could roughly link different feelings to different gods, counting them silently.

Dayi Grand Ancestor Emperor, Martial Emperor, Ming Sect Emperor, Spirit Saint and Sword God, two Daoist Heavenly Venerables, Dongzhou Tiger God, Rat God, Fox God, Lanya Night God, Dark God and Supreme Dharma God, Northern Continent Martial God, as well as Reed God and the New Saint.

In just an instant, this feeling disappeared.

"Welcome back..."

Chen Shu looked at the horizon and whispered softly.

The gods must have their own things to do as well.

The jacarandas in Yujing suddenly bloomed again.

Since blooming once in the spring of this year, they bloomed a second time against the norm, even making it onto the national news.

The Grand Ancestor Emperor returned to his youthful appearance, walking through Yujing Cheng, often stopping under the jacarandas, his expression indifferent; no one knew what he was thinking.

The Martial Emperor went to visit his old friends one by one.

Of course, now there was only a pile of graves left.

Fortunately, most of his old friends were not nameless people; even if they were no longer in this world, there was still a place to entrust his longing.

The Ming Sect Emperor was the youngest; he also walked through Yujing Cheng, together with the Grand Ancestor Emperor, but unlike the Grand Ancestor, the Grand Ancestor admired the flowers, while he looked at this brand-new world and the emerging era.

The Sword God returned to Moshi Mountain, but hid his figure, silent and wordless, walking through Moshi Mountain once; suddenly feeling all kinds of loneliness, he simply chose to directly Transform into Dao.

Fuyuan Heavenly Venerable went to Xinzheng Temple first, sighing that Zhengguang Tathagata was just that little bit away...

Just as Chen Shu thought, everyone had their own destination.

Only one god, whose true name the world had long forgotten, as if it wasn't just his true name that had been forgotten.

There was no sect or school, no descendants, and even in his original country, his name had been lost in history, leaving only some folk legends, mixed with other miscellaneous true or false legends, making it difficult to distinguish truth from fiction.

And he, in fact, no longer had any thoughts about this world.

After a long silence, he finally took a step.

The next moment he had appeared in the northwest of Duqin.

In a low house the color of yellow sand, the thin, dark girl was still praying silently, praying for her mother's health, praying that she could cultivate; she did not know that the god she worshipped had already arrived before her, standing with the clay statue, lowering his head and watching her in silence.

Chen Shu's mobile phone vibrated.

Haoran: The assimilation of the origin is complete.

Haoran: When will you start merging? Where will you merge? I'd better draw up a schedule.

Gate of All Wonders: /daze

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha: It feels weird.

Nameless Person: I do too.

Haoran:?

Grandma Always Says: It's good that technology is advanced now; discussing the matter of becoming a god, all in this group, and even making a schedule. You tell me, how did those people in the past contact each other when there was no internet?

Gate of All Wonders: So that's how it is.

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha: I was wondering why it felt weird.

Qingcai Keke: There was no centralized god-becoming in the past.

Nameless Person: The Ninth Stage cultivators of the past must have discussed things in person, right? Anyway, they flew so fast.

Haoran: Stop talking nonsense.

Haoran: Let's talk about business.

Grandma Always Says: /Taozi raises hand

Grandma Always Says: I'll go first, I'll go first! Lend me your Imperial Family's Killing Forbidden Land!

Grandma Always Says: From now on, please call me Sword God Zhang!

Haoran: I want the Killing Forbidden Land too.

Suddenly Closed Mouth Standing: Me too.

Nameless Person: Me too!

Just call him Luo Huaian: +1

Beauty with eight-pack abs: +1

Gate of All Wonders: Heavenly Venerable is above, this Daoist also wants to...

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha: Amitabha, this poor monk is also...

Jiang Lai: I can go to the Abyss Forbidden Land and Annihilation City, I won't crowd with you all.

Haoran Zhengqi: Are the two Dharma Masters also going to the Killing Forbidden Land?

Grandma Always Says: Otherwise?

Qingcai Keke: If Dharma Master Tongdeng goes to the Reincarnation Forbidden Land, he will likely be trapped in his first life forever, eating meat and enjoying himself so much he forgets home; if Little Master Xuanzhen goes to the Dream Forbidden Land, he will likely fall into a land of gentleness; the Killing Forbidden Land is still simple and brutal / squinting smile.

Haoran Zhengqi: What about you?

Qingcai Keke: I am going to the Spirit Law Forbidden Land of our Spirit Sect.

Haoran Zhengqi: Alright.

Haoran Zhengqi: Then I will go to the Killing Forbidden Land first.

Qingcai Keke: Good luck.

Chen Shu held his Mobile Phone and couldn't help but smile.

He felt sorry for the imprisoned souls in the Killing Forbidden Land.

There are seventeen Forbidden Lands, each with its own trials and difficulties. Facing the immense pressure from foreign Planes for thousands of years, the difficulty of every Forbidden Land has been pushed to the extreme. The Killing Forbidden Land is not necessarily the hardest; many gods who pass through the Killing Forbidden Land might not necessarily pass through the others.

Of course, the reverse is also true.

Choosing a suitable Forbidden Land is very important.

The Buddhist Sect's Reincarnation Forbidden Land, the Daoist's Dream Forbidden Land, and the Intertwined Forbidden Land they jointly control are actually, relatively speaking, more of a test of the heart. Furthermore, if one's attainments in Buddhist and Daoist teachings are deep enough, they can also be of some help.

After all, they were left behind by the Heavenly Venerable and Buddha. Not only did they participate in the adjustment of the rules, but over the generations, they also left behind imprints related to themselves.

It is just that whether it is Dharma Master Tongdeng or Little Master Xuanzhen, they are both too young. Even if their natural talent is high, their attainments in Buddhist and Daoist teachings may not be as good as their predecessors, and their mentalities may still need tempering. Going to the Reincarnation Forbidden Land, Dream Forbidden Land, or Intertwined Forbidden Land all carries risks.

At the same time, for this group of top geniuses, the Killing Forbidden Land has instead become the most suitable one.

"This group of barbarians..."

Chen Shu shook his head and looked at Qingqing beside him.

"Which Forbidden Land do you want to choose?"

"The Killing Forbidden Land."

"..."

"?"

"Decisive in killing! You have the demeanor of a Queen! Your way of thinking is unique! You don't take the usual path!" Chen Shu gave a thumbs up and praised, "As expected of my Qingqing."

"Sycophant."

"? What did you say?"

"..."

Ning Qing closed her mouth, looking as if she had just said nothing at all.

"Why did you choose the Killing Forbidden Land?"

"Simple, fast, and I get to see your exquisite face-changing." Ning Qing's tone was flat, and she paused, "Actually, choosing the Reincarnation, Dream, Intertwined, or Circulation Forbidden Land would also be fine; they are all very simple for me."

"Then which one are you actually choosing?"

"Reincarnation, I suppose."

"Why?"

"It's close."

"Having strength really makes one willful..."

These few seem to be Forbidden Lands that lean towards testing one's mentality. It makes sense; in the Plane Core, which the gods call the "Hall," besides needing powerful strength to face the threat of gods from foreign Planes, one must also have a firm mentality to face endless loneliness.

It is a pity that Ning Qing can no longer become a god in the sense of the Secret Sect; she can only become a god in the ordinary sense.

Chen Shu raised his Mobile Phone again.

Qingcai Keke: Then you all queue up slowly.

Qingcai Keke: I'm going first.

Putting down the Mobile Phone, Chen Shu looked to the other side.

"Xiaoxiao, Taozi."

The little girl who was holding a book titled "Potato Cultivation Techniques" looked up at him. Taozi, who was lying down doing her homework, also looked up. Although she didn't turn her head, the pointed ears on top of her head stood up, indicating she was listening.

"Qingqing and I are going out for a trip again."

"Where to?"

"Woof?"

"To become a god; it won't take long before I'm back."

"Brother-in-law, once you become a god, can you give me an imprint?"

"That's right."

"Me too, me too~"

"Alright, alright..."

"Brother-in-law, if I become a god, can I beat my sister?"

"That depends on you."

"Okay!"

"Then Taozi, what are you becoming a god for?"

"Help Qingqing beat up Xiaoxiao!"

"..."

"..."

Chen Shu and the little girl both fell silent; only Qingqing remained calm, still looking at her "Book."

A few days later, the Killing Forbidden Land opened.

Immediately following that, the Spirit Law Forbidden Land opened.

Many geniuses from the Spirit Sect were granted permission to enter the Spirit Law Forbidden Land, and some others came to join in the excitement; the Spirit Sect selectively blocked some of them, but they tacitly allowed the remaining folk geniuses who had come there for cultivation to enter.

Chen Shu went all the way to the center of the Forbidden Land.

The Spirit Law Forbidden Land is a forbidden zone for Spirit Power and Runes; here, the Spirit Sea is under pressure at all times and in all places, requiring an extremely high level of Spirit Sea capacity to persist, and a moment of carelessness could lead to the Spirit Sea rupturing and death. Furthermore, there are Spells and Formation mechanisms left behind by Spirit Saints of past generations; those who wish to become gods must be able to break through them, otherwise, they will fall before the checkpoints set up by their predecessors.

However, Chen Shu himself possesses a Double Spirit Sea, and with the effect of his Divine Power, his Spirit Sea performance is extremely high; this bit of pressure is almost non-existent to him.

"It seems this place isn't as lively as the Killing Forbidden Land..."

Perhaps for the path of Spirit Power and Spells, lonely research is destined to be the norm.

Chen Shu shook his head, his gaze changing slightly; in an instant, the entire Forbidden Land appeared to him as an ocean of light and Runes, with different types of Spirit Power depicted in the form of different lights, and dense Rune Groups forming the mechanisms of this Forbidden Land; with the aid of his Divine Power and marks, he even saw the underlying rules that constructed this Forbidden Land.

Wonderful.

Amazing.

The last time he entered a Forbidden Land was in the Killing Forbidden Land, watching from afar as the Tribulation-Responding Bodhisattva fought alone against numerous powerhouses from history like an invincible god of war; now, however, it is others watching from afar as he undergoes the baptism of the Spirit Law Forbidden Land—the wonder of it all is hard to put into words.
