The Way of the Heavens - Chapter 111 Reincarnation (Part 2) (Please vote for recommendation)
Eternal Realm, outside the thirty-sixth heaven, cemetery space.
Countless broken tombstones stand on the bloody land, and the vicissitudes of the years permeate the entire space, while an old man in a black robe sits quietly beside a small grave in the center of the space, as if guarding the grave for many dead souls.
Buzz!
Ripples like water suddenly appeared in the cemetery space, and bright spots of light appeared all over the sky, condensing into a faceless light-shaped figure. The supreme and majestic breath of the Heavenly Dao instantly dispelled the breath of death that had remained for tens of millions of years.
The Great Emperor Zhenwu opened his eyes, his face was calm, he stood up, bowed slightly to Mu Yuan, and said: “Zhenwu pays homage to His Majesty the Heavenly Dao!”
Mu Yuan’s calm and indifferent eyes fell on the Great Emperor Zhenwu, and said: “You should know my purpose this time!”
The Great Emperor Zhenwu remained silent, his eyes were deep, as if containing an endless sea of stars.
Since the Yuanjie and Zhenwu world merged into the Eternal Realm hundreds of years ago, he entered this realm with the cemetery space.
Mu Yuan has been busy with the world upgrade, the opening of the underworld, and other things, and put Zhenwu Emperor and the cemetery space aside. Now that the Eternal Realm is basically stable, Mu Yuan has time to deal with them.
The cemetery space is as high as the stars in the sky, hanging outside the thirty-six heavens, overlooking the entire Eternal Continent. The Zhenwu Emperor naturally saw clearly the connection between the Yin and Yang worlds and the guidance of the dead souls into the underworld.
There is a living world for the living and a dead country for the dead. There is a difference between Yin and Yang, and the living and the dead souls live in the same world.
Strictly speaking, Zhenwu Emperor is also a dead soul, and the cemetery space is even more of a piece of underworld, so Mu Yuan wants them to all integrate into the underworld and become part of the underworld.
“When you were promoted to the Eternal Realm, you also helped me. You have great merits, so you have two choices now.”
Mu Yuan walked slowly, wiping the broken tombstone from time to time, and said in a calm tone: “One is that you enter the underworld, take charge of a part of the underworld continent, and become the underworld god and the emperor of the underworld.
Establish a hell, manage hundreds of millions of ghosts and dead souls on behalf of the Yin Emperor, and live as long as the sky. The Eternal Realm will not perish, and you will not perish either!”
“The second is that you enter the land of reincarnation, your cultivation will dissipate, and you will be reincarnated. With your merits, you can be reincarnated into a divine beast or other species, and start all over again.”
The Great Emperor Zhenwu was once the strongest in the middle thousand worlds and reached the realm of true spirit. Now even if he is a residual soul, his strength is comparable to the heavenly way of a small world, and the cemetery space was also opened up by him, which is completely out of Mu Yuan’s control.
If this powerful person who is not under his control takes the opportunity to stab Mu Yuan in the back when Mu Yuan goes to war with the Heavenly Dao of other worlds in the future, then the Eternal Realm will be in danger, and Mu Yuan himself will probably be swallowed by other Heavenly Daos.
Therefore, with such a powerful fighting force as the Great Emperor Zhenwu, Mu Yuan cannot let him stay in the cemetery space and be independent of the world like in the Zhenwu World.
Mu Yuan gave two options. One is to let the Great Emperor Zhenwu become the Emperor of the Underworld and control part of the power of heaven and earth. His cultivation strength will become stronger as the Eternal Realm grows. He can be said to be the most noble and powerful existence in the Eternal Realm.
However, the disadvantage is that from now on, his true spirit will be completely controlled by Mu Yuan, and he will never be able to transcend forever. Mu Yuan can take back his power and cultivation in a thought and drive him from the sky into the dust.
The other is that the Great Emperor Zhenwu’s cultivation will be dispersed and fed back to the Eternal Realm, and only his true spirit will be thrown into the reincarnation pool to reincarnate, starting a thousand reincarnations, and everything will start all over again.
His true spirit will also be branded with the imprint of the Eternal Realm as he reincarnates. As long as his cultivation has not reached a certain level, he will never be able to break free from Mu Yuan’s control.
Mu Yuan will never allow creatures that cannot be controlled by him to appear in the Eternal Realm!
The Great Emperor Zhenwu sighed quietly, and his eyes swept across the entire cemetery space, containing indescribable complex emotions, as if recalling everything that had happened before.
“How many epochs have passed… All the living beings in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have been destroyed indirectly because of me. I am a sinner.
I have been guarding this cemetery space as a gravekeeper for these epochs, just to atone for my sins.”
The Great Emperor Zhenwu looked at Mu Yuan, bowed again and said: “So Your Majesty, I am willing to become the Emperor of the Underworld and rule the Underworld Continent.
In this way, I can continue to be a gravekeeper, guarding the souls of all the living beings in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and continue to atone for my sins!”
Hearing the choice of the Great Emperor Zhenwu, Mu Yuan’s eyes flashed with a trace of surprise. Originally, according to his guess, the Great Emperor Zhenwu would choose the second option and reincarnate in the land of reincarnation.
After all, as the strongest person in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Great Emperor Zhenwu has reached the realm of true spirits and his will is comparable to divine iron and immortal gold. Even after reincarnation, he will definitely return to the peak of martial arts in the eternal world in the shortest time.
Even if he could recover his past life memories, with his past life experience, there would be a glimmer of hope that he could become a True Spirit Realm warrior again, and reach the realm of living as long as the heavens again.
True Spirit Realm, as the name suggests, warriors in this realm can control their own true spirits, thus getting rid of the reincarnation of thousands of lives, and their lifespan can truly be called as long as the heavens!
Of course, now the Great Emperor Zhenwu is just a remnant soul. Although he once reached the True Spirit Realm, he now does not have the strength of the True Spirit Realm and cannot transcend reincarnation.
Unexpectedly, the Great Emperor Zhenwu actually chose the first option, becoming the Emperor of the Underworld, just to continue to serve as a gravekeeper for the souls of all living beings in the nine heavens and ten earths.
Mu Yuan was silent for a moment, then waved his sleeves, and his figure turned into a sky full of light spots and slowly dissipated, with only one word echoing, saying:
“Well, since you choose to become the Emperor of the Underworld, then return to your position now.”
Boom boom boom!
The infinite world’s great power descended, covering the entire cemetery space. In just a moment, the cemetery space crossed the thirty-six layers of the sky and the seventy-two layers of the earth, and appeared in the small world of the underworld.
As soon as the cemetery space appeared, it instantly attracted the eyes of hundreds of millions of souls who had not yet gone to reincarnation. Just as they were in doubt, the indifferent and ruthless voice of the underworld will Yin Tianzi resounded throughout the underworld.
“Consecrate! You are the first emperor of the underworld-Zhenwu Emperor, in charge of the underworld continent, commanding hundreds of millions of souls, and controlling life and death, longevity, and nobility!”
The pillar of life and death rules of the underworld emerged, separating a part of the rules and authority, forming a series of divine patterns and spiritual texts, and finally turning into a golden edict, which fell directly into the true spirit of the Zhenwu Emperor.
The ghost energy of the netherworld swirled around the Zhenwu Emperor, condensing into a black dragon robe with golden patterns. On his head was an imperial crown, exuding the supreme majesty of the emperor of the underworld.
Bang!
Finally, the cemetery space merged into the Netherworld Continent, and an emperor’s castle rose from the ground. The Zhenwu Emperor will establish the underworld system here to handle all affairs of the Netherworld Continent!
