Chapter 269 All Living Beings Cross the Gates of Hell Together
Above the dam, yellow smoke was now billowing, completely enveloped by the world of reincarnation.
Li Lan hovered above the cycle of reincarnation. Under his guidance, the power of all places, including the Bridge of Helplessness, the River of Oblivion, the Yellow Springs, the Eighteen Levels of Hell, the Ten Great Halls, and the Sea of Bitterness, manifested and formed huge chains that completely bound the enormous Yin God's body.
The Great Seal of Reincarnation trembled slightly. Although the Demon God had gone through countless years and his power was almost exhausted, he still possessed an unparalleled status, making it extremely difficult for Li Lan.
It was also thanks to Lin Ruoxue and Yang Yi that Li Lan would have been truly helpless if they hadn't used the power of the entire Origin Realm to rebuild the Underworld.
"Roar……"
"die!"
The ancient demon god roared violently, and the evil corpse fought desperately against the good corpse. Its destructive instincts erupted, and it was unwilling to merge with the good corpse again.
"town!"
With a loud shout from Li Lan, the sea of suffering in the entire underworld of reincarnation was instantly flooded.
"what--"
The Yin spirit screamed in agony.
At this moment, the cycle of reincarnation trembled violently. The power of yin and yang reversed once again. Li Lan opened the passage between life and death. The good corpse and the evil corpse intertwined and merged. The body of the ancient demon god trembled violently!
Beyond the cycle of reincarnation, the entire dam trembled violently, and suddenly huge cracks appeared. The Black Sea outside the dam was also affected, with waves churning and surging. The world was shrouded in darkness, and all kinds of rules collapsed and disappeared. It was as if the underworld was about to be destroyed.
The ancient demon god was the source of the underworld. Now, the demon god himself has undergone a great change, so the entire underworld will be affected.
The dam and the Black Sea, in particular, are manifestations of destruction and death, extensions of the will of the evil corpse. Now, with the good corpse invading the evil corpse, they are almost destroyed.
"Woof! Almost there! We did it!"
The big black dog stared at everything in the cycle of reincarnation, extremely excited. Then, it landed on the bronze imperial ship and used its powerful divine abilities to protect the entire ship.
The waves are too big now; the Imperial Ship is about to be destroyed, but Shangguan Xiaoxiao, Bai Ruoling, and the others are still on board.
"Will the root of this calamity finally be quelled this time?"
Even the ninth emperor was extremely excited!
"Li Lan is going to succeed! He can do it!"
Xia Jingmo spoke firmly!
On the imperial ship, everyone was extremely tense.
"Leader Li must resolve the root cause of this disaster!"
"He is the only one, he can definitely do it."
"He is the true master of reincarnation. Once the source is resolved, all beings in the underworld will embark on a completely new path!"
Everyone is anticipating, everyone is praying!
……
In the cycle of reincarnation!
"what--"
A terrifying scream rang out. Under the influence of the entire cycle of reincarnation, life and death, yin and yang were reversed, and the two corpses of good and evil finally merged into one!
The enormous demon's body underwent a miraculous transformation. Its ferocious, beast-like face slowly lost its malevolent and brutal aura, becoming calm instead. The fangs that had protruded from its lips retracted, and its black fur gradually faded, turning grayish-white.
The demon god sat quietly in the cycle of reincarnation, surrounded by yellow smoke, like a lifeless stone sculpture!
Li Lan slowly descended and walked to the Demon God. At this moment, the Demon God had completely changed.
He is still very tall, thousands of feet high, but no longer gives people a sense of fierce oppression. Instead, he gives people a strange feeling of intimacy, as if the one sitting here is not a demon that chooses to devour people, but a hero who is exhausted.
His armor was rusty and almost faded from being washed with blood. The iron rod on his knees was covered with marks of battle, such as knife marks and sword engravings.
Sensing Li Lan's arrival, He slowly opened His eyes. There was no sinister look in His gaze, but only a clear-headedness that came after crossing millions of years, and a sense of bewilderment as He stood at the bottom of time and looked around without seeing any familiar faces.
"Pangu, Nuwa...have they been resurrected?"
He asked the question, and there was a clear tremor in his voice, indicating his deep concern about the matter.
Upon hearing this, Li Lan was completely convinced that the ancient demon god had regained his senses!
In the past, the ancient demon gods sacrificed themselves to evolve the underworld in order to bring back the ancestral gods and immortals of the Primordial Emperor Star.
Later, in this underworld, two beings who were remarkably similar to Pangu and Nuwa did indeed appear.
They, like the masters of the White Emperor and the Black Emperor, should have left the underworld.
“They have returned; they arrived in the world of the living thousands of years ago.”
Li Lan spoke.
"it is good."
The demon god murmured, a hint of relief in his eyes, and said, "With the ancestral god resurrected, even my death is acceptable!"
"What exactly happened in the ancient war? Why did the ancestral gods and immortals of the Primordial Emperor Star perish?"
Li Lan asked the question solemnly.
Judging from the various information he gathered in the mortal realm, the reason why the Primordial Emperor Star was originally the ancestral star of cultivation and later became a technological Earth with no more cultivators, the reason why various underworlds were born in the mortal realm, and even the reason why he traveled from Earth to the underworld...
The root of all this is that ancient war!
Why did that war begin?
do not know.
All that is known is that the ancestral gods of the Emperor Star died out and all the immortals perished. In order to summon them back, the ancient demon god sacrificed himself to become the underworld!
Even the identity of the enemy in that battle, who was capable of killing so many powerful Emperor Star Ancestral Gods... remains unknown.
Li Lan searched through the entire library of Nantian Academy but found no record of it. He questioned Yan Zhanyu, but Yan Zhanyu could only tell him that it was taboo, not recorded in writing, and unknown to anyone.
Perhaps only those at the very top know these deepest secrets.
"The ancient war..."
The demon murmured, a look of reminiscence flashing in his eyes, but then a trace of pain crossed them, and he said, "I've forgotten... I've forgotten everything..."
"I only remember that Pangu and Nuwa died, the bodies of the Five Emperors rotted, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was drowned in blood, the Great Brahma Bodhisattva and the Buddhas all turned into ghosts, the Three Pure Ones died, and the immortals fell like stars..."
"Those who survive must sever all ties and memories related to that entire affair; otherwise, even if they transcend the Three Realms and Five Elements, they will perish and vanish into nothingness..."
"The great demon god Chi You sacrificed himself, and I, along with Xing Tian, Kua Fu, Jing Wei, the Three-Eyed One, and Zhuanxu, followed him, severing the cause and effect, leaving behind a seed of return..."
Li Lan was even more shocked upon hearing this.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Three Pure Ones, Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, etc., actually existed!
Chi You, Xing Tian, Kua Fu, Jing Wei, the Three-Eyed One, Zhuanxu and other demon gods... are all familiar names in Earth's mythology and legends.
Chi You once fought against the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, and his fighting power was astonishing.
Xingtian, using his nipples as eyes, wielded his axe and shield with fierce passion.
Kuafu chased the sun, but eventually his path collapsed and he died, transforming into a peach forest.
Jingwei, like a bird trying to fill the sea, carried sand and grass in her beak, working day and night...
Could the three eyes be the prototype of Erlang Shen? Zhuanxu? The powerful figure who once suppressed the water god Gonggong and seized the throne?
Adding the Fighting Demon God before us, there are a total of seven Demon Gods!
How devastating was the ancient war? Ancestral gods like Pangu and Nuwa perished, the Three Pure Ones and other Taoist masters fell, and Bodhisattvas and Buddhas were transformed into ghosts…
What despair must a powerful being of Emperor Star level experience? Even peerless powerhouses like Chi You, Xing Tian, and the Fighting Demon God had no choice but to endure humiliation, sever their own lives, forget everything, and offer themselves as a sacrifice…
Just thinking about it...
It's already suffocating!
“Scriptures…”
The God of War murmured, seemingly lost in thought, "A passage of scripture... Everyone is dead, leaving only a passage of scripture. When the great war ended, many ancestral gods used their blood to create a passage of scripture. I and a few others each memorized a portion..."
He suddenly stared at Li Lan and said, "You must remember this passage. It is the key to unlocking the secrets of that battle. If the Ancestral God and the Immortals are ever able to return, this passage will still be needed for any chance of a turnaround!"
After he finished speaking, his soul flashed, and characters like golden tadpoles flew from his mind to Li Lan's brow!
Li Lan felt as if a group of golden tadpoles were flowing through his mind, unfathomable and undecipherable, yet they inexplicably made him tremble all over, his blood surge, and his entire body seemed to undergo some kind of change in accordance with the scripture!
His body, every cell, every acupoint, was like a wild beast that had been awakened, full of hunger!
He was astonished; the scripture was simply too wondrous.
It was as if it were alive, vibrant, and autonomously merging with Li Lan's entire body.
"This scripture is incredibly wondrous, blessed by the Dao Seal. Even the Ancestral Gods could not decipher it, and none of the Immortals could cultivate it. Moreover, if you pass it on to someone else, you will forget it yourself... You have already mastered reincarnation. After leaving the mortal realm, find the other six underworlds, revive the Ancestral Gods, summon back the Immortals, and collect the scripture. It may still be of great use!"
The God of War spoke solemnly, and Li Lan was slightly surprised. What?
Unreadable; no one can cultivate this?
Why did Li Lan feel as if his body was being activated and read as soon as these scriptures entered his body?
Before he could ask any more questions, a look of pain flashed across the brow of the Fighting God Demon, who said, "My strength is exhausted... Quickly, deliver all living beings from suffering, otherwise, the underworld will collapse!"
The entire underworld is built upon the sacrifice of the God of War, but the God of War is not eternal. His power will dissipate and weaken. When it weakens to a certain extent, the entire underworld will collapse, and he himself will perish.
Otherwise, Xuanyuan Tongxuan wouldn't have been in such a hurry to welcome back Xuanyuan Dangtian.
Li Lan composed himself and looked back. He saw that outside the cycle of reincarnation, the vast underworld was now like the end of the world. The dams were shaking, the black sea was roaring, and everywhere he looked, all the rules and order were collapsing and space was being distorted.
The entire underworld is about to be destroyed...
Li Lan took a deep breath and, without further hesitation, stepped forward to the Sea of Bitterness.
"Owner!"
The Black Tortoise appeared and exclaimed excitedly, "You've finally returned!"
While Lin Ruoxue held the reincarnation authority, it remained hidden and in hiding, waiting for Li Lan.
"All sentient beings are about to perish, but the Pure Land on the other shore has not yet been established. What should we do?"
Its eyes were also filled with anxiety.
Li Lan, however, said in a deep voice, "Wait a little longer!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure appeared on the embankment, one foot in the underworld and the other in the cycle of reincarnation.
He stands at the boundary between reality and reincarnation, waiting!
……
And this moment.
"With incense as our guide and offerings of money as our path, we show our ancestors the way back!"
Within the Chaotic Spirit Mountains, Xuanyuan Tongxuan roared and exerted all his strength to activate the entire array. Smoke billowed into the sky, as if a thick fog was descending, threatening to obscure the entire mountain range from the world of Nan Yao Star.
At this moment, Luanling Mountain has become a place connecting to the underworld!
A massive burst of fireworks and other spectacular displays surged forth, and another world slowly emerged before them, with a Great Wall-like embankment appearing...
"Our ancestors have returned!"
