I rely on my body to push the weird world

“However, there are indeed some records in the travel notes of my Zhenxian Sect, but they are horrifying. Usually, people just treat them as unofficial history compiled by the predecessors.”

Li Ji nodded silently, looking as if he was listening attentively.

Qingsongzi paused and continued:
"It is rumored that in the last era, the gods ruled over all living things in the world!"

"There are gods' residences in the mountains and rivers, city gods in prefectures and counties, and dragon palaces in the sea..."

"But afterwards, a terrible war took place, the gods fell, and the lingering resentment turned into a vast fog, forming what we call a restricted area."

"It seems to be resenting the heaven and earth, and also resenting all living beings. As the fog spreads, the restricted area continues to expand every year!"

When Li Ji heard these words, his eyes seemed filled with thoughtfulness.

Qingsongzi's statement about the restricted area is similar to Zhong Liang's.

However, the rumored Age of the Gods gave him a strong sense of déjà vu - wasn't this the mythology he was familiar with in his previous life!

How did the world become so dark today?

"What about the alien gods? What kind of beings are these?"

Li Ji spoke out.

"Alien Gods...they are real gods!"

Qing Songzi said in a serious tone: "They are dead gods, without reason, like the walking dead, extremely scary, so they are called alien gods!"

"They are rejected by heaven and earth, and sleep in a specific area that does not exist in reality. They are immortal and exist forever... It is called the Foreign Land!"

“Whenever foreign lands border the human world, it means that the foreign gods have revived. Wherever they pass, the human world will be transformed into foreign lands. The people living on that land will be affected and become devout believers of these foreign gods. They will also be irrational and become zombies. It is extremely terrifying!”

Li Ji felt increasingly cold in his heart.

What Qingsongzi said was exactly the same as what Zhong Liang said, and was even more detailed.

Qingsongzi picked up the teacup on the stone table, took a sip, and then continued.

"As for Fengdu..."

"The fragments of the travel notes hidden in my True Immortal Sect record that Fengdu is only a part of the underworld, and the entire underworld was destroyed in that terrible war. Only Fengdu is struggling to hold on!"

"But there is no record of how long Fengdu lasted. We only know that Fengdu no longer exists today and has long since disappeared in the long river of history."

"As for the ghosts and gods of Fengdu, I saw a very interesting description in the fragments of this travelogue."

Qingsongzi suddenly laughed.

He looked at Li Ji deeply.

"According to the records, the then headmaster of our True Immortal Sect once encountered a ghost god with black clothes and white hair, who looked as if they were stitched together, when he was slashing the dragon vein of the dynasty with a sword."

"He calls himself the Lord of Black and White!"

"The head master said that the emperor was incompetent and committed many evil deeds, causing the people of the world to live in misery and suffering. That's why he wanted to cut the dragon vein with a sword and destroy this evil dynasty!"

"What you say is about karma and retribution. The philosophy you uphold is really laughable. It is totally different from the current situation of our True Immortal Sect!"

Qingsongzi was talking so much that he laughed so hard that he choked.

He coughed a few times, picked up the teacup and drank a few sips of tea before he recovered.

"and then?"

Li Ji narrowed his eyes.

"Then, the headmaster of my Zhenxian Sect, who has been in office for who knows how many generations, the Black and White Yama Lord, was slapped hard in the face!"

"The iron law of Fengdu: the evil ones become more evil, and the good ones become more good!"

"As long as the evil emperor is in power, the more he follows his nature, the more evil he will do."

"Although it did not bring any benefit to the people of the world, the evil emperor still had a lot of profound influence on the world."

"Then, if the world is in chaos again, in this dark and turbulent era!" "Another emperor is needed to do evil things - who can be more skilled than the evil emperor? He should naturally sit on the throne."

Qingsongzi placed the teacup on the stone table.

He didn't wait for Li Ji to ask and continued talking on his own.

"And where is the headmaster of my True Immortal Sect who has been here for who knows how many generations?"

"He has been kind-hearted and intelligent since childhood. He has practiced Taoism for three hundred years. He is pure and strong. He is dedicated to slaying demons and monsters. He has won the title of "True Man" by people all over the world. He can be said to be a true practitioner of Taoism!"

"The sword cut through the dragon vein but was blocked by the Black and White Yama Lord. He staggered back to the True Immortal Gate. His Tao heart was shattered from then on. It was a pity that three hundred years of true cultivation was gone in one day."

"He left behind only this fragment of his travel notes, with all the crazy annotations, and then he passed away suddenly!"

Qingsongzi's words were full of sighs.

Xia Ling, who was lying on the rattan chair next to her, just sneered.

"Annotations? What annotations?!"

Li Ji frowned and spoke.

"It is a commentary on the Fengdu Iron Law: 'The wicked become more wicked, and the good become more good'!"

"The more evil a man becomes, the more evil he becomes: that emperor who has committed so many evil things should live to be ninety-nine, with his concubines in his arms and his appetite for wine and women..."

"Although these souls are evil, their hearts are sincere and they have a profound impact on the world!"

"When you die, the Lord of Hell will come and take you to Fengdu and erase your memory."

"When the dynasty is in ruins, I will be thrown into the womb of the empress who has been pregnant for ten months. When I grow up, I will become the emperor who has committed many evil deeds!"

Qingsongzi paused here, and the sigh in his words became even stronger.

He sneered and said, "As for the headmaster of my True Immortal Sect who has been there for who knows how many generations, he is a true cultivator!"

"He is a man of great virtue recognized by the world, but his influence on the world is far weaker than that of the evil emperor. He can only barely reach the threshold of being included in Fengdu!"

"After entering Fengdu, my memory will be erased, and in my next life I should still practice Taoism and do good deeds to accumulate merit!"

"As for those who do nothing, well, their lives are much more miserable!"

"The complete soul was eaten alive by the Fengdu ghosts and gods, and the leaked soul was torn apart."

"If it is a kind soul, then it will naturally do good things in the next life, suffer the coldness of human nature, and shout that there will be great blessings in the next life. It will repeat itself over and over again, but it is sweet!"

"If it is an evil spirit, in the next life, it will burn, kill, rob, and bully the people. If it takes advantage of the situation, it will wear a yellow robe and become an emperor."

Li Ji was silent.

He just felt his heart getting colder, creepier and harder to accept.

In today's world, demons and monsters are rampant, and aristocratic families and powerful forces are keeping countless civilians in captivity and treating them as food. Is this the right way to go?
The world is so dark... Is this how it should be?!

Li Ji was silent for a long time, then took a deep breath and said, "What about the Sin Dragon? Does Qingsongzi know anything about it?"

"Zuilong, I don't know much about this little thing. If Master Li wants to learn more, he can choose to go to the Great Qi Dynasty to take a look."

Qingsongzi shook his head slowly.

"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for clearing up Li's doubts!"

Li Ji said, "The oath we swore has come to an end. If you want to leave, I will not stop you. I will immediately send someone to arrange a carriage for you!"

"Haha, I won't bother you with this matter, Mr. Li... Then we'll take our leave!"

Qingsongzi said with a smile.

He then took Xia Ling's hand and bowed, then quickly turned around and left the Demon Suppression Division. (End of this chapter)
