Book 7: Chapter 24: Perhaps The System Of Your Underworld Is Finally Broken?
After Bai Qiuran and Eastern Emperor Taiyi disappeared, Jiang Lan settled down on the sacred tree of Fusang.
According to Bai Qiuran’s instructions before leaving, she asked the three-legged crow and the sun mother to share the sun’s brilliance with the human races on the small islands under the roots of the sacred tree, so as to prevent them from evolving into other strange things in the future.
After the death of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the Heavenly Court was governed by his two trusted gods, Lu Wu and Ying Zhao. The two gods elected one of his sons as the new emperor, and his concubine Huanglong maintained politics, temporarily holding the crumbling regime of Heavenly Court.
But when the news of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s death spread, the Heavenly Court was still not as united as before. Especially after the death of the Southern Heavenly King Zhu Rong, the remaining three emperors were seeking to seize the land and property left by him, fighting each other, and violating the order of the Heavenly Court. The newly appointed Nine Righteous Gods were also too weak to maintain the power in the center of the Heavenly Court.
The internal fighting of the gods gave the three people living on the Fusang sacred tree a peaceful space, as well as time for the development of the human race and other races on the earth. Following Bai Qiuran’s will, Bai Li passed on what he passed down to all humans.
Because he first met Bai Qiuran on the hillside, Bai Li put “mountain” and “person” together and created the title “Xiang” (Immortal) to call his master Bai Qiuran, and he himself was also called Immortal Emperor by others.
After countless years, Bai Li, who had grown into a leader of the human race, brought the monkey, who was now known as Demon Ancestor, to the sacred tree of Fusang and begged to see Jiang Lan.
“Master’s wife, soon, we will start a formal war with the gods.”
Bai Li still had the same appearance, but he became mature and stable and took a lot of responsibility. He saluted Jiang Lan, and then handed the jade pendant with the word “Li” to Jiang Lan’s hand.
“This is dangerous and unpredictable. If Li is dead, please send this piece of jade to Master in the future, tell him that Bai Li is not ashamed of his teaching. If Li is still alive, then please give this piece of jade to the teacher, let him use the jade pendant as proof in the future to find Bai Li, and Bai Li will do his best to repay his teacher’s grace.”
“Ok.”
Jiang Lan, who had already turned into an immortal, accepted Bai Li’s jade pendant and continued to stay in Fusang.
Subsequently, the vicissitudes of life, the end of the gods, the fall of the gods, and the beginning of a new era.
...
After crossing the river of time, Bai Qiuran and Wise Immortal were thrown out of the river of time and fell into the main world.
Originally, even if the Eastern Emperor Taiyi exhausted everything, his strength was not enough to send Bai Qiuran and Wise Immortal back to the original era. Bai Qiuran originally thought that there might be an error of thousands or hundreds of years, but when the Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s remaining power was about to disappear, Heaven’s Will directly appeared in the River of Time, sending the two back to the original era.
The two fell back to the main world, Bai Qiuran found that he and Wise Immortal were in the broken sky in the Land of Divine Death.
The starry sky was completely shattered and turned into a large and small piece of rock, floating endlessly in this sky, and at the top of the sky, the original Eastern Emperor Bell had also been turned into fragments. Maybe it was destroyed by the sword energy Bai Qiuran fired before being banished, or because it absorbed too much energy and couldn’t bear it.
“How long has passed now...”
Bai Qiuran was floating in the void, searching for the Milky Way that used to be.
“I don’t know, judging from this, a period of time has passed since we came to the Land of Divine Death.”
Wise Immortal replied:
“There may be some errors, but I estimate that it will not exceed fifty years at most.”
Bai Qiuran found the small canoe they paddled in in the middle of the Milky Way, turned it around the bow, and then took Wise Immortal on it and paddled in the direction where it came from.
When he came, he had no True Qi in his body, so he could only let Li Jinyao come to row a boat. Now when he went back, he was able to row by himself, and it couldn’t be said that he had no gain at all.
Fortunately, the Milky Way was not broken by the battle between him and the giant god. Along the tributaries of the Milky Way, Bai Qiuran successfully returned to the previous creek and came to the outside of the Land of Divine Death.
As soon as he left the cave, Bai Qiuran saw a huge nose in the sky in front of him smelling near the valley, so scared that he almost threw the oar out.
After he came out, the big nose seemed to smell something, and it suddenly rose up, and Bai Qiuran could see clearly that it was a big demon with a height of several hundred feet and a body full of the nose.
The mouth of this great demon grew on its abdomen, like a huge pocket. After smelling Bai Qiuran’s scent, it roared. Suddenly, several great demons of different shapes appeared near the valley, surrounding him.
“Everyone.”
Bai Qiuran put down the oars and stood on the bow and said to the big demons:
“Don’t use weapons arrogantly.”
A minute later, the wreckage of the great demon collapsed around the valley.
Bai Qiuran wiped away the blood from his hand and bolted the wooden boat to the original wooden stake.
“These big demons feel a bit similar to the gods.”
He left the valley and flew in the direction of Nine Provinces and Ten Lands. On the way, Bai Qiuran standing on the flying sword talked with Wise Immortal:
“I suspect it is a creation of the gods.”
“Most likely.”
Wise Immortal replied:
“There is no soul, no spirit, and intelligence. I am afraid they are living weapons made by the gods in the later stage of the war.”
When the two chatted, Tranquil Autumn Water had already led them through the Broken Soul River. Standing on the top of the river, Bai Qiuran looked down, and the surging river was inexplicably familiar.
“Look.”
Wise Immortal said:
“Do you not even recognize the river that you tore down back then?”
“I remember that there were many dragons and mysterious beasts in there.”
Bai Qiuran murmured as he flew:
“The wild beasts in this river are getting weirder and weirder...Where have all the original races gone?”
“I don’t know, maybe they moved to another world, maybe they all became extinct.”
The two flew over Broken Soul River, and Bai Qiu suddenly saw a crooked white shadow standing under a tree next to Broken Soul River.
When he flew past, the white shadow gradually became clear, and finally turned into a dead-faced Xue Ling, beckoning at him.
Bai Qiuran stopped curiously, fell next to Xue Ling, and asked him:
“What are you doing? Are you coming to me for something?”
“Ok.”
Xue Ling nodded, took out a booklet from his arms and opened it, then pointed to the first page on it, and said to Bai Qiuran:
“I just wanted to ask you, what did you do?”
Bai Qiuran looked up and found that his name was written on it, and the life span was a negative hundred of thousands of years.
“...I don’t know this, either.”
Bai Qiuran turned his head and said:
“Perhaps the system of your Underworld is finally broken?”
