Rebirth of the willow tree, creating the strongest tribe in the ages

Chapter 865: The Underworld Market and Ye Fan’s Trio Leave
As the blood from the tip of his tongue slowly dripped onto the jade pendant, Shen Zhinan felt a violent tremor throughout his body.

Invisibly, there was an ancient and powerful force that resonated with him at this moment.

Amidst the black smoke,
The surface of the jade pendant shines brightly.

An indescribable power flowed out from it, along the blood on the tip of his tongue, into his limbs and bones, and even into the depths of his soul.

Shen Zhinan was enveloped in light, and his aura was changing rapidly.

Invisibly, in the cold wind all around, a sound similar to chanting was heard.

That is the power belonging to the Eastern Ghost Emperor, the supreme authority that rules the underworld, and it is being activated.

this moment.

Shen Zhinan could clearly sense every subtle change in the netherworld, and could even hear the whispers of the dead souls lingering outside the gates of hell...

Shen Zhinan took a deep breath and felt as if he had established some kind of mysterious connection with this world.

Soon, the light curtain disappeared.

Although the man's appearance did not change significantly, his temperament became completely different in an instant.

Especially those eyes, full of indescribable vicissitudes, as if they could see through all the vanity in the world; their eyes were sharp, piercing people's hearts and captivating their souls!

"grown ups!"

As the light of the jade pendant's authority disappeared, Shen Zhinan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai nodded. There was no need for him to say anything extra. Everything had been marked on the jade token of authority. The other party had obtained the authority recognition and activated the jade token of authority. Naturally, he also obtained the relevant memory fragments.

Jiang Huai was more concerned about what new functions would be enabled after the Eastern Ghost Emperor took office.

Just as he was thinking this, lines of flowing gold-plated words suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Huai, shining brightly and extremely eye-catching.

He looked at it carefully, read ten lines at a glance, and quickly finished it.

He remained calm on the surface, but a deep sense of joy was evident in his heart.

I didn’t expect that the new feature would be this.

New function: market function.

The functions of the market are as follows:

First, the level of awareness of the souls in the underworld has greatly improved.

Second, the market starts once a month and lasts for three days each time.

Third, the souls of the dead in the underworld can be traded freely in the market.

Fourth, the trading rules of the market need to be set by the host. Should they be set now?

Friendly reminder: Once set, it cannot be changed!

Friendly reminder: After setting the rules, you can select the market range.

Jiang Huai was familiar with the words "fangshi", as it was just like the big market in the countryside in his previous life.

But for the underworld, the meaning of these two words is unimaginably important.

Once the market appeared, the underworld was no longer cold and icy...

Not to mention, it is specifically stated above that the level of lucidity of the dead souls will be greatly improved.

This is the most important thing.

A group of confused ghosts was definitely not the netherworld that Jiang Huai had imagined.

Just as people have popularity, ghosts should also have ghostliness.

What he wants to create is a lively world that is no different from the real world. Even the two worlds can be connected to each other.

Of course, this is something.

It is not possible at the moment.

In addition to their own believers, they can wake up and return to the world of the living to stay for a while at the specified time.

The others are in chaos and once released, they will become the evil ghosts that everyone wanted to kill in the horror movies of the previous life.

Jiang Huai did not immediately set up trading rules for the market.

Rules cannot be thought of in a few words, not to mention that these are not ordinary set rules. You can change them whenever you want. Once set, they cannot be changed. You need to think carefully before making decisions.

Although Shen Zhinan has entered the underworld, he can still enter and exit the outside world at any time and reunite with his family outside.

This is also one of the powers of the Ghost Emperor.

It is for this reason that he, a living person, was chosen.

In order to make up for the debt of making the other party wait for more than 30 years, Jiang Huai specially took out a Huiyan Pill and a few ginseng fruits.

These things are naturally not for Shen Zhinan. After he officially took power, he has regained his youthful appearance and his life span is no longer in danger.

It is for the people inside.

The other party is just a mortal, so these things are useful to him.

Shen Zhinan hurriedly accepted it and was extremely grateful to Jiang Huai.

After doing all this, he let Shen Zhinan stay to familiarize himself with the environment in the underworld, and he went straight back to his bedroom to think about the relevant rules of the market town.

A few days later.

The rules have been thought out.

First, integrity is the basis and fraud is severely punished.

Honesty is the basis of transactions, so honest transactions are strictly enforced in the market.

Jiang Huai decided to set up a "Supervision Committee" composed of impartial and selfless judges to supervise every transaction and ensure that both buyers and sellers abide by the principle of good faith.

Once fraud is discovered, whether it is false pricing, selling inferior goods as good ones, or forced sales, it will be severely punished.

As for the punishment, it is very simple. You will be directly sent to the corresponding hell in the eighteen levels of hell. They are all ready-made.

The second point is free trade and respect for choice.

Jiang Huai encourages the souls to trade freely and respects their personal choices. Whether buying, selling or exchanging, the souls can do it according to their own needs and wishes, and no one is allowed to interfere.

The third point is dispute resolution and fair adjudication.

Disputes are inevitable during the transaction process.

To this end, Jiang Huai specially arranged for the judges of the supervisory committee to also be responsible for handling transaction disputes, adjudicating disputes impartially, and ensuring that the rights and interests of both parties are protected.

No matter what the rules are, formulating them is just the beginning. The real challenge lies in how to implement them.

Of course, Jiang Huai doesn't need to worry about these things.

After all, those who are arranged are all his own believers.

After the rules were established, the entire underworld seemed to be blown by a breeze in an instant.

Jiang Huai could clearly feel some subtle changes in the underworld.

The most obvious ones are the current dead souls in the underworld. Before the functions of the market town were opened, the dead souls were often in a daze, walking aimlessly in front of the gates of hell.

As the rules were established, the eyes of these ghosts became noticeably clearer, as if they had suddenly learned to think and were no longer aimless.

At the same time, a three-dimensional bird's-eye view of the underworld appeared in front of Jiang Huai.

This image was formed by the interweaving of countless lights and shadows, clearly presenting the topography, building distribution, and activity trajectories of the entire underworld before his eyes. Jiang Huai narrowed his eyes slightly and observed the image carefully. He needed to choose a suitable location to build a market.

There is more than one place, a total of nine places need to be set up.

He first ruled out the area near Ghost Gate, because it was the first stop for the dead souls entering the underworld. Although the flow of people there was large, it was too noisy and chaotic, which was not conducive to the long-term development of the market.

Then, he ruled out those eerie and uninhabited places, which were too remote to attract enough ghosts to come and trade.

The area inside the underworld is not small. Except for the most basic facilities, everything else is modeled after the fairyland.

Finally, Jiang Huai's eyes fell on several open spaces in the central area of ​​the underworld.

These locations have convenient transportation and are well connected, so the ghosts can be easily found no matter which direction they come from.

For this purpose, Jiang Huai specially set up post stations, teleportation arrays, etc.

"It's right here!" Jiang Huai was certain in his heart, and lightly tapped his finger on the three-dimensional map. A ray of light instantly shot out from his fingertips and landed accurately on the open space.

As the light fell, the originally empty ground began to shake slightly, and then cracks appeared, from which black fog poured out. The fog rolled and finally condensed into a huge archway with the two characters "Fangshi" engraved on it...

There was no movement that day.

The next day, ghosts began to come and start transactions.

On the third and fourth days, the number of dead souls was not too large.

However, starting from the fifth day, the nine market locations were already crowded with ghosts, and the items traded were extremely diverse.

As for where the items being traded come from, it seems to be related to the things that the dead souls often used during their lifetime, and which are now materialized in the underworld.

……

This day.

Jiang Huai just came back from Naihe Bridge.

He ran into Ye Fan and others who had just approached.

"Three fellow Taoists, is there anything wrong?" Seeing Ye Fan, Henren, Wu Shi and others looking hurried, Jiang Huai asked immediately.

"Thank you for your hospitality during this period. We plan to leave today!" Ye Fan clasped his fists and expressed his sincere gratitude.

Although still not rejected by heaven and earth.

But they have been staying here for quite some time.

Although they didn't want to leave, all good things must come to an end, and the three of them had more important things to do.

In that ominous land, besides them, there were other creatures fighting, and the three of them were the main force.

"After this farewell, I don't know when we will meet again. The mountains are high and the rivers are long. Please take care of yourselves and have a safe journey." Jiang Huai sighed.

Although they didn't spend too much time together, no matter whether it was Ye Fan, Henren or Wu Shizhong, everyone was quite used to his temper, so they were naturally reluctant to leave as they were about to part.

"With your strength, you should know the existence of that place, and you should also know how difficult the future will be... Don't you want to go there with us and fight bravely?"

Ye Fan and others looked at each other, and finally, the ruthless man spoke first.

"To be honest, we came from the future and saw some things about Liu Village..."

As they were preparing to leave, the three ruthless men decided not to hide anything anymore and wanted to remind others even if they had to bear the consequences.

Because the longer they spent with the Lord of Liu Village, the more they could feel that this white-robed figure was unparalleled in the world.

Not only is his strength above theirs, he also wants to forge reincarnation and create his own destiny and cause and effect.

What kind of courage and spirit does one need to accomplish such a feat that is almost like defying heaven and changing one's destiny?
Even they couldn't imagine it.

If such an existence could live into the future and fight alongside them, it would definitely be the nightmare of the weird clan and the hope of all living creatures!

Hearing this, Jiang Huai looked towards Willow God.

Willow God did not hesitate and continued, "To be honest, we have not found any news about your place in the future. This is obviously abnormal. Time is eternal and will leave traces. This can only mean that your place must have suddenly suffered an irresistible impact, and even you cannot resist it. Combined with your intention to create reincarnation..."

After he finished speaking, the ruthless emperor did not continue speaking because his meaning was already very clear.

The passage of time will leave traces. If there are no traces, it is probably because something unimaginable has happened.

Considering Willow God's feat of creating reincarnation, the only thing that could make the Immortal Emperor unable to resist is the tremendous reversal of cause and effect.

The word "reincarnation" is enough to carry such cause and effect.

"Perhaps the future will be different. I have seen more. All future outcomes are by no means predetermined, and time is not absolutely fixed. The three of you can rest assured. I firmly believe that when the time comes, everything will change."

While speaking, Jiang Huai secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.

Because of the golden finger, he was not burdened with all kinds of karma and was dropped into this world out of the blue.

Due to these two reasons, neither the past nor the future has anything to do with me.

The only time that matters to me is now.

Moreover, as he reached the Immortal Emperor realm, even now, the influence of time on him was gradually fading. After reaching the Sacrifice Dao realm, time would no longer have any trace on him.

Therefore, it would naturally be impossible for the three of them to see any information about themselves and Liu Village in the years to come.

On the contrary, if there is news of your own in the future, then something is really wrong.

As for the underworld that he created, it has nothing to do with it.

Moreover, although he ostensibly founded the Netherworld, in reality, everything he needed was opened from dragon eggs.

But this matter is his biggest secret, and he cannot tell it to anyone, not even Liu Ruyan.

As for Ye Fan and others...let it be a misunderstanding, it can always be made up later.

Ye Fan's face was heavy, and he felt that Jiang Huai was taking things for granted.

They came from the future, and what they saw was enough to show that the future here was too tragic.

After thinking about it, he looked at Jiang Huai, thought about it, and still felt a little unwilling. He tried to touch this mysterious strong man with his last words:
"Fellow Daoist, we understand your obsession with reincarnation, and we can see your courage, but you must know that every step against the will of heaven is accompanied by immeasurable risks. Even if you are extremely powerful and can suppress all the villains, some things still require long-term consideration..."

The ruthless emperor took over the conversation: "We don't want to see a strong man who could rewrite history and become the hope of the future fall into eternal damnation because of his momentary persistence. The road of reincarnation is too long and too complicated. Please think twice."

"I appreciate your kindness, but my heart is like this and it won't change. There is no need for you to say more."

Jiang Huai waved his hand, not wanting to delve deeper into this topic, because there was no point. He couldn't tell his secrets, and continuing the argument would just be a waste of time.

When Ye Fan and the other two heard this, a complicated look flashed in their eyes.

They thought of it this way.

The one in front of them was an Immortal Emperor, a realm that even they had to look up to. It was unimaginable for anyone to reach this level.

It is indeed a fantasy to want to change the will of an Immortal Emperor with just a few words.

The ruthless emperor frowned slightly, as if he wanted to ask something, but in the end he just sighed softly and said nothing.

Emperor Wu Shi stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "In this case, we will not say any more. Fellow Daoist, take care!"

"Take care of yourself!"

Several people were reluctant to say goodbye, and finally, the three of them left together.

After staring for a long time, Jiang Huai finally looked away.

Ye Fan and the other two hoped that they could become their capable assistants, and so did I? !
Shaking his head and not thinking about it, Jiang Huai walked straight into the bamboo forest to seek the way.

Relying on outsiders is ultimately the last resort, and one's own strength is the kingly way.
