Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 778: Request from the Netherworld, Memories of Ji Chang

"Look, the war between heaven and man has eased now, hasn't it?" Ao Bing said to Zhao Gongming.

The Heavenly Court gave in, wanting to allow the human race to gain more victories, so that all races in the world, and all beings other than the human race, would have to stand on the side of the Heavenly Court.

In order to rectify the situation both internally and externally, the human race also chose to temporarily retreat.

When both sides in a war are giving in, the situation between heaven and earth will naturally ease.

"Daoyou's way of easing the conflict between heaven and man is truly unique." Zhao Gongming couldn't help but sigh.

When they were in the Biyou Palace, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun asked about the situation among the gods, and Ao Bing's response was to ease it.

Zhao Gongming originally thought that in order to ease the situation, Ao Bing would need to spend a considerable amount of time and energy, relying on the power of Jiejiao, and running between the gods and humans.

But who would have thought that just a few words, once spread out, could directly calm the situation between heaven and earth.

"However, hidden beneath this calm is a more intense undercurrent," Zhao Gongming said. "When both sides are ready to fight again, the dispute will probably be countless times more intense than it is now."

"Who knows, when the time comes, one of the heavens and the human world is destined to collapse."

"When the time comes, the victorious party will definitely settle accounts with the dragon clan. Are you really not afraid, fellow Daoist?"

Zhao Gongming stood at the edge of the boat, stretched out his hand and gently pushed the water. The water surface was calm, but the undercurrent underneath surged violently in an instant, and the sunken rocks on the bottom of the water were shattered into pieces in an instant.

Here, we are on a boat traveling on the Yellow River.

The King of Man responded by inviting Ao Bing to meet him at Mengjin Ferry, so Ao Bing and Zhao Gongming took a boat and sailed upstream along the Yellow River.

There are many city gates and military camps on both sides of the Yellow River.

Ao Bing and Zhao Gongming's boat had a smooth journey thanks to Zhao Gongming's reputation as a disciple of the Jie Sect and the invitation from the Human King in Ao Bing's hand.

On the small boat, from time to time, disciples of Jiejiao would bring fine wine to drink with Zhao Gongming. By the way, they would also talk about the war situation between the human world and the heaven, the situation of the eight hundred princes in the human world, and the immortal traces and Taoist traditions in various places.

Just by listening to the words of these Jiejiao disciples, Ao Bing already had a rough outline of what the human world looked like.

Of course, when discussing the situation of heaven and earth, there were also disciples of the Jiejiao who looked at Ao Bing in front of them with scrutiny, looking at this mysterious ancient blue dragon.

While on the boat, Ao Bing's energy and the magic power in his body had been suppressed to an extreme state.

Even the disciples of the Jie Religion who were passing by him could not see any trace of magical power on Ao Bing.

This is not because Ao Bing is so good at hiding his breath - it is completely due to the suppression of humanity.

It is the humanity of this world that suppresses Ao Bing, the murderous emperor.

When Ao Bing left the East China Sea and stepped into the human world, the vast aura of humanity fell upon Ao Bing layer by layer, making it impossible for Ao Bing to use any of the magic power in his body.

Not to mention magic power, even Ao Bing's own blood and energy were also greatly suppressed.

It was as if the humans here were worried that after Ao Bing stepped into the human world, he would kill a Human King. If Ao Bing had not obtained the permission of the Human King before entering the human world, and had not been invited, then the human energy entangled with Ao Bing at this time would not only suppress Ao Bing and block his magic power, but would directly burn him, and in a posture of consumption, everything on Ao Bing would be turned into nothing.

These disciples of Jiejiao who travel on the boat have been in the human world for a long time, so they naturally have a certain understanding of the "qi" of the human world.

Therefore, although they could not see the magic power in Ao Bing's body, they could sense the "sin" lingering in Ao Bing's body for the human world. Therefore, each of them was very curious about where the "sin" in Ao Bing's body came from, which was incompatible with the spirit of humanity and even more seriously opposed to humanity than the current heaven.

"It is said that when the human race was born, the demons roamed the world. At that time, countless demons ate humans and raised them as livestock. They would eat tens of millions of humans to satisfy their appetites."

“Could this ancient blue dragon be the top demon god of that era?” The more they thought about it, the more wary these disciples of Jiejiao became of the ancient blue dragon in front of them - whether it was the present era when the human race is the protagonist of the world, or in the past when the human race was gradually becoming the protagonist of the world.

The Azure Dragon in front of him was able to remain alive after causing such a "sin" among the human race. This was enough to prove his strength.

The disciples of Jiejiao like magic and fighting - even when they meet, they will inevitably fight to see how much progress each other has made.

Therefore, when Ao Bing and Zhao Gongming went upstream, it was absolutely impossible for the Jiejiao disciples who came and went to say that they did not want to see Qinglong's magical powers - but when the first Jiejiao disciple sensed the "sinful" aura of Ao Bing and secretly told the other Jiejiao disciples about it, those Jiejiao disciples all gave up the idea of ​​​​competing with Ao Bing.

At the same time, some generals or princes who originally wanted to meet Qinglong were persuaded to stop by the disciples of Jiejiao who were familiar with them.

Therefore, Ao Bing and Zhao Gongming's journey up the Yellow River was unexpectedly peaceful.

Apart from the disciples of Jiejiao who were coming and going, other living beings seemed to be unable to see the existence of the boat. Only the countless aquatic creatures behind the boat were chasing the boat all the way.

When the boat was about to reach Mengjin Ferry, Ao Bing, who was at the bow, was pulled into darkness while closing his eyes to rest.

After a moment, in the darkness, the outline of gloomy mountains slowly emerged.

On the mountains, the old palaces are spread out along the mountainside, ancient and dilapidated, with an incomparable peaceful atmosphere.

This place is none other than the underworld.

"Ao Bing, I pay my respects to the Fairhearted Queen Mother of the Earth."

So Ao Bing immediately bowed to the void.

"I wonder what the Queen Mother Hou Tu wants me to do?"

Immediately afterwards, the extremely gentle Hou Tu Niangniang showed up, and the five ghost kings of the underworld stood guard beside Hou Tu Niangniang, looking at Ao Bing with majesty.

Hou Tu stretched out her hand and pointed, and a cushion appeared in front of Ao Bing.

Please ask Ao Bing to sit down, and then the Queen Mother Hou Tu will continue to speak.

"Ao Bing, I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"Please give your orders, Your Majesty." Ao Bing said hurriedly.

The Queen Mother Hou Tu is in charge of the underworld, which is the final resting place of all true spirits between heaven and earth - it is impossible for her not to know that Ao Bing came from the future.

"It's like this..." Queen Hou Tu said.

However, there are many living beings in the world who have clearly reached the end of their lifespans and should return to the netherworld, but they use various laws to avoid the netherworld's senses and escape from the netherworld's pursuit, and have not returned to the netherworld. As a result, the cycle of birth, aging, illness and death between heaven and earth has also been disrupted.

Logically speaking, in a situation like this, ghosts and gods from the underworld would step into the human world and forcibly bring those creatures who escaped death back to the underworld.

But the Daluo between heaven and earth is too wary of the underworld...or rather, of the peaceful Hou Tu Niangniang.

Pingxin Hou Tu Niangniang is in charge of the underworld and is originally the closest to a saint among the Daluo. The Daluo between heaven and earth are all worried that once Hou Tu Niangniang transfers her influence from the underworld to the human world, she will be able to immediately integrate yin and yang and become a saint.

Therefore, ever since the emergence of the Netherworld, the powerful beings between heaven and earth have been consciously suppressing the influence of the Netherworld.

Therefore, although the underworld today has powerful strength and is indispensable to the world, it has never left any trace of the underworld in the human world.

Especially in this era, after Bai Ze of the demon clan sacrificed his life to point out that a saint would appear in this killing calamity, the existence of the underworld has become the object of common defense and suppression for all Daluo who aspire to become saints.

As soon as the tentacles of the underworld show signs of spreading from the underworld to the human world, they will be immediately cut off by the Daluo.

Even if the Queen Mother Hou Tu said that she only wanted to bring those damned creatures back to reincarnation and had no thoughts about the sainthood, those Daluo would not believe it at all - after all, even if the Queen Mother Hou Tu herself had no thoughts about the sainthood, she could not stop her from having enough merit and the sainthood would automatically fall to her.

What the Queen Mother of the Underworld wanted Ao Bing to do was to use his ability to travel through the dark world to send those souls who were escaping death to the underworld.

"I won't hide it from you either."

"Between heaven and earth, many people fear the Netherworld."

"Moreover, those who can escape death in the human world are mostly kings, princes, generals and ministers, who have far-reaching influence in the human world and hold high positions of power."

"If you agree to my request, you will be feared by these princes, by the people, and by heaven and earth."

"Since Your Majesty knows me, don't you know my temper?" Ao Bing said with a smile.

"If I cared about this, why would I be here?"

"Please, Madam, give me the list of those who have escaped death, and I will just walk through the human world."

"The ghosts and gods of the underworld cannot go to the human world, so where can I find a list for you?" said Hou Tu Niangniang with a smile.

"How about this, I will give you a talisman. With this talisman, when those who escape death appear, you will be able to tell at a glance."

The Queen Mother Hou Tu stretched out her hand and pointed, and an interlaced yin and yang shape appeared in front of Ao Bing. The Five Ghost Emperors also left their marks in the mark - just like the five elements were created in the yin and yang.

The shape of yin and yang turned into yin and yang symbol in an instant.

The moment the Yin-Yang Seal appeared, this dream that led directly to the underworld slowly dissipated.

……

"Empress, is this person trustworthy?" In the underworld, the boss of the Five Ghost Emperors, the Central Ghost Emperor, looked at the Empress Hou Tu in front of him with a puzzled look.

The balance between life and death had actually been disrupted long ago.

Ever since the Yin and Yang were thrown out of order, these ghosts and gods in the netherworld have tried more than once to restore the balance of Yin and Yang.

Just like what Hou Tu Niangniang did at this moment, they had recruited messengers from the world of the living to walk the earth on behalf of the underworld and make the dead souls return to the underworld. They had done this many times - but every time, the messengers they carefully selected ended up with a bad outcome.

Either they died in the world of the living, or they brought their traces of the underworld with them to become disciples of some immortal god, and used those traces of the underworld as a stepping stone to their own advancement, allowing the creatures in the world of the living to find more flaws in the underworld with the help of those traces of the underworld.

As time went by and the number of times increased, the ghosts and gods in the underworld lost interest in looking for the Yin Cha.

Yin and Yang are out of order, so be it - anyway, it is the ghosts that remain in the human world, not the ghosts that escape from the underworld.

Even if yin and yang are out of order, it is the underworld that invades the human world, rather than the human world invading the underworld.

However, this time, not only did the Queen Mother Hou Tu personally select the people to walk in the human world, but she also brought the Five Ghost Emperors with her when she bestowed the seal of the underworld.

The trust shown in the people of the mortal world made the Five Ghost Emperors very puzzled.

"Yes, your majesty." Upon hearing this, the Southern Ghost Emperor also spoke.

"It is said that this Azure Dragon fell in the ancient times and was resurrected with the power of Jiejiao. Such a fallen creature should have returned to the underworld."

"Since the Queen has personally used her magical powers to connect his dream to the netherworld, it is only right that she should capture his soul and send it into reincarnation."

"Why, Madam, did you entrust him with the important task of the Netherworld?"

"Don't worry." Empress Hou Tu comforted the Five Ghost Emperors in front of her, "Since I have come all the way to find this person, then this person must be trustworthy and worth considering."

……

On the boat, Ao Bing opened his eyes.

He looked at his right palm. The Yin-Yang symbol was engraved on his palm like a palm line.

The order between yin and yang was revealed between the palm lines - it seemed that Ao Bing only needed to press his palm like this, and the door to the underworld would open directly, taking all the souls in front of the door into the underworld.

After another moment, a tingling sensation appeared in Ao Bing's body.

It was not the pain caused by the violation of the yin and yang order, but the humane aura that lingered around Ao Bing and blocked all of his magic power. Suddenly, it became sharper, as if it would turn into a long needle and pierce into Ao Bing's internal organs and every acupoint of Ao Bing.

And in his primordial spirit, the image of the black bird formed by the energy of humanity was almost turning into a rune and being engraved on his primordial spirit.

The Human King is just ahead!
……

"Your Majesty, the Azure Dragon should be approaching." At the Mengjin Ferry, Ji Chang suddenly raised his head. "Your Majesty, can you please avoid it and let me take a look at the Azure Dragon's footsteps first?"

From his unique perspective, which was almost like the art of looking at things through the air, the slowly approaching aura of sin was so strong that it covered the sky and the sun.

In an instant, the past of mankind, all of its history, flowed and emerged in Ji Chang's mind.
