At the entrance of the Valley of No Return.
The thick black fog churned and suddenly made way for a path.
"Roar!
Roar! "Amidst the shocking dragon roars of the Nine Heavens, a flood dragon with a single horn and two claws, purple eyes, and a body of gold and green pounced out with incredible agility. It then retracted into an inch-sized pearl, revealing a young Taoist.
"I didn't expect … that the Valley of No Return is actually the blessed land of an ancient God of the Land of Destiny …"
Wu Ming looked at the Suihou Pearl in his hand.
After absorbing the inexplicable aura, the pearl itself became even more dazzling and bright. Its halo changed, like a snake or a dragon, but the shadow of the snake in it was slightly shorter.
This situation was a little painful to look at.
"The Dragon Qi in the Suihou Pearl has decreased by about a tenth. Is this the price of exploring this place?"
Whether it was the consumption along the way or the battle with the guardian ghost and evil spirit, they had all consumed a lot of luck. Moreover, Wu Ming had not refined this luck himself. He had only borrowed it for a short period of time, so the consumption was even higher.
"In the short term, it's quite a loss …"
Wu Ming touched his chin. "Apart from gaining some benefits from following the Suihou Pearl and gaining some Karma points from this information, it seems like the losses outweigh the gains …"
However, he knew very well that without the suppression of the Dragon Qi, the evil spirits along the way would be enough to doom the other ghosts and deities eternally, not to mention finding the ruins deep in the valley.
"Forget it! My time is almost up. I'd better complete the mission quickly and return to the living … But before that, there are some things I can do … "
Wu Ming flipped his hand, and the Ninth-grade Imperial Decree of Earth that he had obtained previously appeared.
Compared to the stone bar from before, the Imperial Decree at this time was filled with white light, rippling with strange fluctuations. One look and one could tell that it was extraordinary.
This was the result of him continuously guiding the Golden Light of Merit after expiating the souls of the dead and receiving it.
"In the past, the divine item was concealing itself, but now it sees that I'm qualified, so it's showing its power?"
Wu Ming smiled. He knew that for a righteous god like the Land of Earth, the certification standard was naturally a kind of merit. His approach just happened to hit the key point.
Previously, not only did the Black Wind General not have any Karma, he even had a murderous aura. It would be extremely troublesome to refine the Martial God Position. If it were the current Wu Ming, he would be able to ascend to the Martial God Position with just a nod.
"It's just that … once I enter the system, I will immediately be under the control of the City God of the Black Platform. Moreover, who knows how many hidden traps have been placed in this Deity Position …"
Without any hesitation, he took out the Suihou Bead and imbued it with a spell.
"Roar!"
Inside the Marquis Pearl, the snake shadow that was originally swimming in a circle suddenly appeared. Its scales were towering, and it grew a single horn. It opened its mouth and swallowed the Imperial Edict of Earth.
In ancient times, the Son of Heaven was accompanied by hundreds of gods when he went out. He could also offer sacrifices to the heavens and become gods. This was the power to bestow titles to low-level ghosts and gods.
The City God and the Earth God were naturally among them.
Wu Ming's action was to cleanse the Imperial Edict with Dragon Energy and completely erase the original imprint.
Bright light shone from the Marquis Pearl, and one could faintly see the purple snake chasing after a white light. The Golden Green Cloud Energy churned rapidly, and the consumption caused Wu Ming to be slightly shocked.
In an instant, the Fate in the Marquis Pearl decreased by a full 20%. This caused Wu Ming to be extremely surprised. "Why is there so much? It's just a small Deity Position of Earth … "
"Bang!"
The white light exploded, and was completely absorbed by the purple snake. It swallowed and spat out … A white Talisman could be faintly seen. The strokes on it were like dragons and snakes, and clouds and smoke appeared on the paper. The densely packed talisman turned into light spots, and they swam violently like tadpoles before suddenly exploding.
An angry roar and a sigh sounded one after another.
Immediately, the light spots that exploded from the white Talisman were all absorbed by the purple snake, and a brand new Talisman was spat out.
The new Talisman turned into a circle of white light and fell into Wu Ming's hand. It was like a bright moon rising from the east, and there was an item in it that looked like a seal or talisman. The bottom of the item showed the growth of all living things, the various forms of villages, and the reincarnation of Yin and Yang. Just by holding it in his hand, it seemed to carry the weight of the country!
"I didn't want to consume so much energy …"
Wu Ming sighed and put away the Marquis Pearl. He touched it with his soul sense, and a large amount of information was revealed.
"The Imperial Edict of the Earth of Black Water Town, Grade Nine. It can assist in the growth of all living things, protect the safety of mortals, and even control the communication of Yin and Yang …"
The God of the Earth was a proper god of national worship. It also had the three major functions of nurturing all living things, managing the people, and managing the administration of the underworld.
The Imperial Edict of Peace said, "The people are the foundation of the country, and food is the most important thing for the people. Therefore, when the country was built, the king first ordered the establishment of a society. The land was vast and there were many valleys, but it could not be worshipped everywhere. Therefore, an altar was set up within the country."
It was also recorded in the Records of Searching Supernatural that the God of the Earth once said, "I shall be the God of the Earth, and I will manage the people." The people referred to here were to protect the safety of the homes of the local people, and to ensure the prosperity of the six animals, as well as to be fair to the people.
There was also another saying that the God of the Earth was in charge of the household registration of the underworld, and would guide the dead. Therefore, he also had some authority in the underworld.
"I don't think he really has everything … Does the land under the control of the Black Water Town God have so many magical powers?"
Wu Ming was shocked. He knew that what he had done had even broken the restriction that the Great Deity had placed on him. Although his rank did not change, he still had the authority, and had unlimited potential for development.
"But there seem to be two Dark Hand Imprints left inside …"
Wu Ming's eyes flashed, and he tried to analyze the magical runes that represented the power of Yin and Yang in the position of the God of the Earth.
"The God of the Earth can enter and leave the Netherworld, but the pulling force of this world is too strong. If I don't ascend to the position of God and only use magical powers to leave, I'm afraid I'll need to use a lot of Dragon Energy …"
"This can be used as a last resort!"
At this moment, the God of the Earth had become Wu Ming's personal property. With an escape route in hand, he had nothing to fear.
"Hmm … Under the God of the Earth, I can also appoint three subordinates, one Yin General, and one Ghost Soldier … This God of the Earth Appointment is really giving me great power …"
Wu Ming's eyes flashed. What he wanted in the beginning was nothing more than this.
…
At the border of the Netherworld.
A faint white light flashed, and it turned into the figure of a muddle-headed young man.
This was a fresh soul, and it was the easiest to attract the greed of wandering ghosts. Traces of greyish-black fog with a greedy smell kept climbing up.
"Who … am I? What … is this place? "
The young man murmured. This newly dead ghost still had doubts about his own existence, and his body was in a mess, which made him a delicacy.
Pairs of bright red eyes appeared from the grey fog, and a few wild dogs barked. They could no longer hold it in and pounced on him.
"I remember now! I'm a scholar from Hei Tai County, Elementary Scholar Huang Weiqing! "
The young vengeful spirit murmured. Suddenly, his body solidified and turned into a green-robed scholar. Above his head was a brilliant cloud that shone brightly like a beautiful brocade. The wild dog that pounced on him screamed and ran away with its tail between its legs.
"Am I not already dead?"
Elementary Scholar Huang Weiqing looked at his translucent body, and then looked at his surroundings, and laughed bitterly, "This place … is indeed the Netherworld …"
His fists unconsciously clenched.
He thought about how he met an orphan girl on the road, and how he stood up for her, offended the local rich, and finally 'fell into the water' at night.
Regret?
He thought about how he had an old mother at home, and how he loved his wife and young son. Of course he regretted it, and he regretted it so much!
However, it wasn't because he wanted to save her, but because he was too careless, and believed in the hypocrisy of the rich!
"Read the books of the saints, and do the things of the saints. Confucius said to be benevolent, and Mencius said to be righteous. Only when one's righteousness is done will he be benevolent. From today onwards, I have no regrets! "
Huang Weiqing's gaze was firm, and he chanted loudly. The cloud above his head shone brightly, and it shone brightly.
"But … What is this place? Where is the Earth and City God in the Underworld? "
He walked aimlessly, and all he saw were lonely ghosts that were too horrible to look at. There were also ferocious gods that devoured the souls of the living, and it was as tragic as purgatory.
At the start, he helped, and didn't care about his own safety.
However, the Underworld was huge, and there were so many such things that he couldn't care less, and he was almost numb to it.
Until one day.
"Woof woof!"
A dog-headed man that was a few feet tall roared, and it was pressing down on a living soul with its claws.
"Sir, save me! Sir, save me! "
The living soul was bitten all over, and when it saw Huang Weiqing, it immediately cried out.
"Evil creature, hurry up and scram!"
This dog-headed man's spiritual pressure was something that Huang Weiqing had never seen before, and even his heart trembled. However, he immediately stood up, picked up a black stone, and smashed it.
"Woof woof!"
The dog-headed man was unscathed, but its attention was obviously attracted. It actually let go of its claws, and its eyes revealed greed as it pounced towards Huang Weiqing.
"Haha … What a silly ghost!"
The living soul had escaped a great calamity. It immediately sneered, turned into a puff of smoke, and fled as if it was flying.
Bang!
Huang Weiqing was thrown to the ground by the dog-headed man's claws. Looking at the dog-headed man opening its bloody mouth, he laughed bitterly. "Forget it … I didn't expect that I would die here today!"
"Scram!"
"Wu wu!"
Unexpectedly, his body was unscathed, and he didn't feel any pain.
Huang Weiqing opened his eyes and saw the dog-headed man from before fleeing with his tail between his legs. A powerful demon god surrounded by crimson aura and flames was standing in front of him.
"How is it? Do you regret it? "
"I don't! It's just that I pity the ghosts of the netherworld in this world for not being able to live … "
Huang Weiqing sighed as he sensed the flames above his head dissipating. He was about to turn into ashes.
Wu Ming nodded to himself. From the eyes of the scholar on the ground, he saw the light of a martyr.
He couldn't help but smile. "Coincidentally … You are the third person I met today. We are fated!"
He immediately waved his hand, and the Earth Divine Edict appeared, turning into a seal. "In the name of the Black Water Town's Earth Lord, I bestow you as my subordinate!"
A white light landed, and Huang Weiqing's body shook. His wounds were all healed, and he changed into the official robe of the Minister. Instantly, a lot of information appeared in his heart, and he immediately bowed. "Minister Huang Weiqing greets the Lord of the Earth!"
"Dispense with the formalities! These are your two colleagues. Greet each other! "
Wu Ming waved his hand, and two more ghost officials walked out from behind him. The flames on their bodies were one foot tall.
