"Get out of here quickly!" "You're all dead, turned into ghosts, get out of here quickly! " 。“You’re a king? Millions of subjects, thirty thousand iron cavalry? A king in this world means nothing to me here in the underworld!”Slap!Slap!One by one, tall and burly ghost soldiers with ferocious faces roared and whipped, their whips flashing with electricity. They lashed at those ghosts, especially the one who boasted about being a king. He was beaten dozens of times, his ghostly form becoming thin and almost dissipating before they finally stopped. 。"I should be dead by now, then... is this the Cao Underworld?" Ji Ning appeared out of thin air, curiously observing the unfamiliar surroundings. He heard the king's roar, which made him even more suspicious. "Ten million subjects? Thirty thousand iron cavalry? Earth is modern society now, where would there be thirty thousand iron cavalry?""Hurry!" The tall and burly ox-headed ghost soldier in front glared at Ji Ning and roared. 。Ji Ning followed the team forward. 。Countless white figures form long lines, slowly advancing. At the end of each line, a white figure appears out of thin air. Some shake their heads and sigh, some wail loudly, some rant angrily, and some look bewildered and confused. 。"My father is the Great Snow Mountain Demon King, you dare to hit me! I will eat you, roar!" "Don't hit!" "Ah!" These ghosts just entered the underworld and thought they weren't dead. When they were hit, they became angry and arrogant, but they soon realized...they were already dead. No matter how powerful they were in life, after death, it was all in vain. 。Time passed, Ji Ning had been walking in countless ghost armies for a long time. He didn't dare to speak, because speaking would result in being whipped by the ox-head and horse-face. This numb walk had gone on for far too long. Thankfully, ghosts don't know hunger>>>。After walking for a long time, numbly one day. 。"Ji Ning!" A voice like thunder roared, reverberating through the heavens and earth. Countless ghostly figures raised their heads to look towards the sky. Ji Ning also looked up and saw a giant black cloud churning at the horizon. Standing atop the black cloud was a gigantic ox-headed ghost god emanating an aura of darkness. 。This enormous ox-headed demon was about ten thousand zhang tall, resembling a towering mountain. Riding upon black clouds, it flew from the horizon in an instant. 。"Ji Ning" 。A gigantic ox-headed demon god loomed above the dark clouds, overlooking the scene below. Two beams of golden light shot out from its eyes, piercing the sky and enveloping the stunned Ji Ning directly. 。The gigantic ox-headed ghost god's eyes blazed with golden light, sweeping across Ji Ning. With a single glance, Ji Ning vanished from the ranks. The ordinary ox-head horse-face ghost soldiers fell silent, not daring to utter a sound. All the ghosts were stunned and dumbfounded, taking a long time to recover. 。… Endless black clouds soared high in the sky, with monstrous ox-headed deities standing upon them 。He extended his hand, and on his palm stood a little figure—Ji Ning. 。Ji Ning was completely dumbfounded. 。sky 。A giant bull-headed deity, ten thousand zhang tall, stood before him, himself held in the palm of its hand? "Ji Ning" 。The Ox-Head Ghost God looked down upon the tiny speck in his palm. 。"I come on behalf of Master Cui to fetch you." 。The ox-headed ghost god addressed Ji Ning in his palm, then with a wave of his hand, Ji Ning was taken into an empty space. The gigantic ox-headed ghost god, riding on black clouds, instantly vanished at the horizon. 。 The underworld city of Fengdu 。This is a quiet study, with a bookshelf and a table in the middle. A middle-aged man in a blue robe is reading a book. 。Ji Ning was standing 。"Why would Lord Cui want to see me?" Ji Ning pondered. He had no acquaintance with Lord Cui. He was just an ordinary person. How could he know any immortals? If he truly had a powerful background, he wouldn't have suffered from illness his entire life in his previous existence. Then why did Lord Cui send those ox-head ghost gods to bring him here?" 。Call me, meet me and yet speak not. 。Ji Ning couldn't help but observe the study. 。The study was quite simple, the only decoration on the walls being a painting. 。"That is..." Ji Ning looked carefully, it was a child's portrait. The feather details were full of the rhythm of nature, and with a smile on its face, it evoked a sense of reverence even greater than the Buddha statues in Earth temples. Almost instantly, Ji Ning was completely immersed in this painting. Every detail of the child in the painting, from its face to its flowing hair and delicate feathers, held an extraordinary allure. 。"Oh?" The middle-aged man in blue robes sitting there raised his head and glanced at the wall, looking surprised at the child's picture. "I didn't expect him to have such an understanding..." 。"Wake up!" the middle-aged man in blue robes shouted. 。Ji Ning felt his empty and ethereal thoughts shatter instantly, completely awakened. Only then did he realize he was in the 'Lord Cui's Manor'. 。Only then did Cui Furen close the book and look over. Ji Ning instantly changed color, because from his angle, he could barely see the cover of the book in Cui Furen's hand, which read exactly three words—Book of Life and Death! Cui Furen was reading the Book of Life and Death? "I took a look at your life..." 。<"Master Cui smiled as he looked at Ji Ning">。Ji Ning was startled. 。This lifetime of mine? Scenes from past lives flicker in my mind. My father was the head of a bioengineering project at a research institute, earning a very high salary. My mother was an ordinary teacher. Born into such a family, I should have had it good, but I was born with a terminal illness. Doctors even said it was a miracle if I lived to be fifteen or sixteen. 。As a result, I couldn't go to school or play with other kids my age. Even going for a half-hour walk every day felt tiring and draining. The weakness and pain of the illness made me very isolated during my childhood. 。And I had already heard people in the hospital talking about how I would die in my teens. This fear of knowing I was going to die young haunted me for years, making me even more isolated. 。Luckily! Thankfully there are books and the internet 。Books and the internet gave me a "world of gods," allowing me to avoid the distortions of reality. 。Through books and the internet, I frantically absorbed knowledge, beginning to understand this world. My horizons broadened, and my heart gradually became more tranquil, viewing this world with greater rationality and peace. 。Knowing that there are more children suffering in the world, after all, I still have parents and food and clothing. 。and he was also searching for his own value, couldn't just wait to die, after all, one life should accomplish something. 。So, he borrowed 100,000 yuan from his father and started working online. 。I originally just wanted to add some color to my life, but I ended up actually doing it. 。Over several years, he amassed a huge fortune. 。The continuous worsening of the terminal illness made him realize that he didn't have much time left. 。And since parents didn't need to care for themselves, the money would just be wasted, so before they died, they gave away all of it to poor and sick children all over the country who needed it. 。I cannot change my own fate, but I can change the fate of countless poor and sick children!This is Ji Ning's deepest cry from the heart! When donating all his money to die, he didn't expect that a walk with his parents outside the hospital one day would lead him down such a path... 。"Born into suffering" 。"Master Cui spoke softly, 'Hardship didn't warp you; instead, it brought out astonishing strength in you. You managed to amass a fortune, and more remarkably...you gave away every penny you earned!' ""Eighteen years old, dead..." 。"Lord Cui sighed, "To be able to sacrifice oneself to save a person, and even a stranger, is rare indeed." 。Ji Ning said: "My lord is flattering me. If I had a long life, I wouldn't necessarily be willing to do such a thing. According to the doctor, I can live at most only three months." 。"For my life of less than three months, I'd trade for a child's decades to come! It's worth it!" Cui Fujun smiled, then opened the Book of Life and Death in his hand, speaking softly but with infinite majesty: "Ji Ning, throughout your life, you saved over ten thousand people. Your merit is great, and in the six realms, you shall... ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm!""Heavenly Human Realm" 。"Ji Ning silently muttered" 。Lord Cui sighed, “It takes great merit to attain the harmony of Heaven, Earth, and humanity. It is even rarer to achieve this on earth. You may not have intended it, but by scattering your vast wealth to help children, you have gained immense merit. 。Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter heaven. 。"What do you mean, Lord?" Ji Ning asked with a hint of doubt. 。"Life comes into this world with no inherent good or evil" 。“Master Cui said, ‘Children have no innate sense of good and evil. It’s only later, as they encounter different circumstances, that they gradually change… If you help young people, perhaps you’ll be helping some good people.’” 。It is difficult to distinguish between good and evil. If you help evil people, your merit will be reduced instead. 。Ji Ning seemed pensive. 。The Book of Life originally decreed that you could only live to be sixteen. 。Yet because of your merit, you lived to be eighteen years old. 。"Master Cui's lament" 。"What " 。"Ji Ning was shocked, "Could it be that the Book of Life and Death's decree could still be changed?" "Of course it can be changed, why not?" Cui Fu Jun smiled, "Even I, adding a hundred years to someone's life would be an easy matter" 。<>。A person's fate, the natal chart determined at birth is the foundation, but one can still change it in this life. 。Ji Ning seemed contemplative. 。Yes. 。The ancients said, 'Heaven's wrath can be defied, but one's own making is inescapable.' Even if heaven wants you dead, it will give you a sliver of hope. 。The Book of Life merely dictates one's innate disposition; one can still strive and achieve in the afterlife. 。"I believe that those with abundant merit wouldn't be here either, Lord Prefecture, why have you summoned me alone?" Ji Ning questioned, her voice laced with curiosity. 。Cui Fujun smiled and said, "Because, you and I are fellow countrymen. 。"Fellow countryman?" Ji Ning was startled, "You're also from...""Yes, using your so-called 'modern people' terminology, I'm also from Earth!" Cui Fujun smiled, "Just... from the Sui and Tang dynasties." 。“Sui Tang?”Ji Ning was overjoyed: “From what those ghosts said, the ‘Lord’ and ‘Demon King’ weren't from Earth.” 。It's normal for humans not to be from Earth. 。Infinite time and space, divided into the three realms of heaven, earth, and humans. 。"Lord Cui explained, 'Heaven is the Heavenly Realm! Earth is the Underworld! Man refers to the Human World!'" 。This world has three thousand great worlds and countless small ones... Each of the three thousand great worlds is vast and magnificent, where immortals and demons appear. 。And amidst countless miniature worlds, each one smaller than the last, with populations sparse and meager, our homeland is but one of them. 。Even though our homeland has thrived to this day, it still only has billions of people. 。Every moment, within the three thousand great worlds and countless smaller worlds, countless souls of the dead arrive in the Underworld! You say, how many ghosts would there be in the Underworld? Cui Fu Jun looked at Ji Ning. 。Ji Ning was shocked. 。The sky 。Three realms? This mortal realm is even vaster than that, Earth is merely a tiny speck in a universe of billions of worlds. 。As a human, I used to think that Earth was the center of everything. But now I've discovered...Earth is just one of billions of small worlds and doesn't even make it into the top three thousand great worlds. 。I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed for a moment. 。"Three thousand great worlds, billions of small worlds, those with great merit will naturally..." 。But I seldom find someone with such great virtue among my fellow villagers. You were born with a weak destiny, yet you've achieved this level, it's truly rare! Since I have nothing to do, I might as well meet you, my young compatriot. 。"Master Cui laughed and said, 'As you are about to be reborn, let me tell you about the Six Paths of Reincarnation.'" 。This is the Six Paths of Reincarnation, which are: the Heaven and Human Path, the Asura Path, the Realm of Humans, the Animal Realm, the Ghost Realm, and the Hell Realm. 。"Master Cui explained, “Among them, the Heavenly Human Path and the Asura Path both lead to the ‘Celestial Realm’ in the Three Realms..." 。"The paths of humanity and the animal kingdom are both journeys to the 'human realm' within the Three Realms." 。"The Paths of Hell and the Path of Dead are both paths that lead to the underworld, 'the Netherworld' in the Three Realms." 。"Heaven-Human Dao, which is the path you are about to be reincarnated into…" 。"This remark made Ji Ning listen intently. Master Cui sighed, “This is the best option. If you reincarnate into Heaven, you will become a celestial being, born of heaven and earth, becoming a Heavenly Human..." 。Born, one is a primordial spirit! Only those born from heaven and earth are qualified to be called 'primordial spirits'! 。"Where did heaven and earth come from? Was it not born of a mother?" Ji Ning was astonished. 。Of course 。"Lord Cui chuckled, 'Otherwise, how would you be called a divinely gifted being from birth? To be strict, heaven and earth are your parents!' After your birth in the celestial realm, your cultivation speed was astonishing, and you could easily join the heavenly court as heavenly soldiers and generals" 。"Lord Cui's Lament" 。 Ji Ning blinked his eyes. 。Heavenly soldiers and generals? Will you be a heavenly soldier and general yourself in the future? "Celestials still have one advantage, when you turn sixteen, you will awaken your past life memories" 。"Mr. Cui sighed, "This meeting with you is because your merit is so great and you are my fellow countryman." 。<<>>。To help you stand out among the celestial warriors, I'll lend a hand. 。"Ji Ning was overjoyed, "Help? How can I help?""Look at this diagram." 。"Mr. Cui pointed at the wall next to him." 。 Ji Ning looked 。That painting was actually of Nüwa? "This depicts the most virtuous and holy Pan Gu Shen Nu Wa..." 。“Mister Cui, with a respectful expression, said, 'Since Pangu opened the heaven and earth and fell, only Nüwa could reach Pangu's level. Nüwa could destroy heaven and create it again, even create life.'” 。Among all races, the most spiritual beings are humans, created by the Nuwa Empress. They comprehend eighty-four thousand Daoist principles and are undoubtedly the supreme and unrivaled existence in the Three Realms. 。"Three Realms Supreme?" Ji Ning was shocked. 。The myth of Nuwa creating humans and mending the sky is an ancient tale we've all heard. 。"This image is a visualization technique, but you are incapable of grasping its profundity." 。“Although you will in the future have heavenly soldiers and generals, and can also obtain the method of contemplating," 。But it is not as good as my wonderful method. I'm now passing on this visualization technique to you, for all of us in this lifetime encounter. 。Thank you, Mr. Cui. 。<>。You don't need to thank me, it's just a method of contemplation. It's not a cultivation technique, nor is it a fairy or demon 。Master Cui pointed at Ji Ning's brow. 。Boom! Ji Ning's mind rumbled like thunder, and a gigantic image of Nu Wa appeared in his mind. 。"Wake up" 。"Lord Cui looked at Ji Ning, "Remember, contemplate often, and you will surely refine your soul." 。Of course you'll have to be reborn immediately and drink the Meng Po soup, your memory will temporarily disappear. You'll only remember this visualization method when you are sixteen years old. 。But that's enough, it will be enough to make you stand out among the heavenly soldiers! This way of thinking is just to give your path of cultivation more opportunities. If you want to become a celestial fairy, there are still many tribulations ahead... If you succeed in the end, when I ascend to heaven, we can meet again. 。Ji Ning was also boiling with excitement. 。Heavenly soldiers and generals? Immortals? I'm so looking forward to it. 。“Go away” 。<“Lord Cui with a wave of his hand”>。Wow! 。Ji Ning had disappeared. 。 |
