"I'm not sure about the Demon Emperor, but the Immortal Emperor and the Human Sovereign should be fine. After all, as Venerable Sovereigns, it's their responsibility to maintain the peace of the Three Realms."
The Mysterious Fairy of Ninth Heaven said firmly.
Ding Ning couldn't bear to discourage her, so he said, "What if they can't come to an agreement?"
"No, they know what's more important. Their roots are in the Three Realms, and they've been conferred titles by the Way of Heaven. It's time for them to pay back."
The Mysterious Fairy of Ninth Heaven said optimistically, "The Three Emperors will summon the Venerable Sovereigns of the 33 Heavens to discuss. Although there will be chaos in the Three Realms, it will be under control."
"I'm saying what if? Can you guarantee that they won't be tempted by the Origin of the Three Realms? "
Ding Ning wasn't as optimistic as she was. It wasn't that he wanted to pour cold water on the Mysterious Fairy of Ninth Heaven, but he knew people better than she did.
It wasn't just the old antiques who had lived for countless eras who wanted the Will of the Way of Heaven. Were the Immortal Emperor and the Human Sovereign satisfied with being Venerable Sovereigns and unwilling to leave the cage of the Three Realms?
Especially the Immortal Emperor. A thousand years ago, the Immortal Court was conquered by the Demon Race. Although he didn't know the details, he knew that if he were in the Immortal Court, he would be at odds with the Demon Race.
But the Immortal Emperor acted as if nothing had happened after seeing the Demon Emperor, and didn't show any signs of falling out with him.
Although it seemed that he didn't have time to settle the score with the Demon Emperor because of the threat of the rotten corpses, he didn't need to be angry.
These old monsters who had lived for god knows how many years had their thoughts as deep as the sea. Who knew what they were planning in their hearts?
Even Ding Ning didn't dare to trust Ming Di unreservedly, not to mention the Immortal Emperor and the Human Sovereign who he had never met before.
Besides, they had coveted the Origin of the Kunpeng. He wouldn't believe that they didn't want the Origin of the Three Realms.
These things had nothing to do with him, but he had to worry about the Mysterious Fairy of Ninth Heaven's safety.
"I don't think so. They're already Venerable Sovereigns!"
Xuan Nv of the Ninth Heaven replied softly with some uncertainty after hearing his words.
"Can the Venerable Sovereigns of the Three Realms compare?"
Ding Ning said bluntly.
A worried look flashed in the Mysterious Maiden of the Ninth Heaven's eyes. "What do you think we should do now?"
"Emperor Hades should still be reliable for now. You can also talk to the Immortal Emperor and the Human Sovereign and see what they have to say. Remember, even if they agree readily, you can't truly trust them. Keep an eye on their every move. If they have any ulterior motives, they'll give themselves away sooner or later."
Ding Ning said calmly, "Wait and see. We will not change."
"Looks like that's the only way."
The Empyrean Fairy said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Ding Ning knew that his suggestion was no different from not saying anything, but he couldn't think of a good way at the moment, so he could only remind her not to trust others easily.
Seeing that the Mysterious Fairy of the Ninth Heaven was a little disappointed, he felt a little sorry for her. He quietly held her hand tightly, trying to give her the strength to feel at ease.
The Mysterious Fairy of the Ninth Heaven forced a smile and grunted softly.
Ding Ning sighed inwardly. Although the Mysterious Fairy of the Ninth Heaven didn't make fun of him for overestimating himself, she was giving him face. Her forced smile said it all.
In the end, his cultivation was too low. If he was in the Divine Transformation Realm now, not to mention the peak, even if he was in the early stage, the Mysterious Fairy of the Ninth Heaven wouldn't think that he was bragging.
I want to become stronger!
Stronger as fast as possible!
Strong enough to hold up the sky for her, strong enough to suppress the Three Realms, so that no one would dare to cause trouble!
At this moment, Ding Ning's eyes were filled with unprecedented determination and perseverance.
"Hey, we caught up with them!"
Emperor Hades looked at the backs of the Immortal Emperor and the other two Sovereigns in his field of vision. He was happy to have this kid around.
"Should we talk to them now?"
The Mysterious Fairy of the Ninth Heaven was still immersed in worry and asked subconsciously.
Emperor Hades frowned. Before he could say anything, Ding Ning denied, "Now is not the time."
"That's right, we'll talk about it after we get out of the Kunpeng World."
Emperor Hades immediately nodded approvingly.
The Mysterious Fairy of the Ninth Heaven suddenly realized that they were still in the Kun Peng Realm. Not to mention the fact that there were zombies chasing after them, even if there were no zombies, the Kun Peng Origin alone was destined to be a fierce battle. It was indeed not the time to talk about cooperation.
At this thought, she became even more worried. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "Emperor Hades, do you want to fight for the Kun Peng Essence?"
Ding Ning's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Emperor Hades nervously, wanting to see how he would answer.
Although Emperor Hades appeared to be very open-minded and didn't seem to have any ambitions for the Kun Peng Essence, Ding Ning didn't think that Emperor Hades wouldn't be tempted by the temptation of becoming the top cultivator of the Three Realms.
Emperor Hades's expression was very strange. He smiled and said, "I won't fight for it."
The Mysterious Fairy of the Ninth Heaven didn't say anything. She looked at him suspiciously, thinking the same thing as Ding Ning. She didn't think that he would give up on such a huge temptation so easily.
Although Ding Ning was very pleased with Emperor Hades's answer, he didn't really believe him. He said softly, "Even if you don't fight for it, will they?"
"Then let them fight for it."
Emperor Hades's lips curled into a disdainful smile. "Do they really think that the Kun Peng Essence is so easy to fight for? Although the Kun Peng's will has been destroyed, its obsession is still there. A starving camel is still bigger than a horse. If they really think that the Kun Peng Essence is a cabbage that they can take as they please, then they won't even know how they died."
Ding Ning couldn't agree more. He had experienced the Tribulation of the Divine Soul and naturally knew how hostile and repulsive the Kun Peng's will was to outsiders. He was deeply gratified that Ming Di could recognize this and not fight for it.
"What if the three of them join forces?"
The Mysterious Fairy of the Ninth Heaven asked worriedly.
"One peach can kill three soldiers, let alone the Kun Peng Essence."
Emperor Hades said confidently.
The two of them immediately understood. The Human Sovereign, the Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor. Even if they were on good terms, they would definitely turn against each other under the temptation of the Kun Peng Essence.
If the three of them worked together, they might have a chance of obtaining the Kun Peng Essence. But if they each had their own ulterior motives, their chances of obtaining the Kun Peng Essence were basically zero.
As they spoke, the three of them had already caught up to the panting Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor and easily surpassed them.
Although the Human Sovereign and Immortal Emperor had been fighting Emperor Hades to the death, no one dared to make a move under the threat of the zombie.
The six of them passed by each other but didn't exchange any words. Even the Mysterious Fairy of the Ninth Heaven and Immortal Emperor, who were very close, didn't even greet each other.
Ding Ning was a little surprised. He secretly speculated that the relationship between the Mysterious Fairy of the Ninth Heaven and the Immortal Emperor wasn't as harmonious as he had imagined.
The Immortal Emperor and the Mysterious Fairy of the Ninth Heaven were extremely shocked. They couldn't understand how Emperor Hades and the other two had managed to catch up to them.
Although Emperor Hades and the Mysterious Fairy of the Ninth Heaven had the support of formation runes, they couldn't replenish their energy in this place. Furthermore, they were carrying a low-level cultivator. Why did they look so relaxed?
But they didn't have time to think about this unreasonable scene. They ran as fast as they could, not wanting to be the last one to fall behind.
Ding Ning didn't know how big Celestial Water Sky was. They ran for days and nights before they finally made it out of Celestial Water Sky.
Ding Ning was very depressed. He didn't want to waste his cultivation time in the consciousness space. Unfortunately, he couldn't summon the Gate of Will no matter how hard he tried.
There seemed to be some kind of restriction in the nether world that prevented the Gate of Will from appearing.
The moment they entered the real netherworld, an extremely uncomfortable cold aura caused Ding Ning and the Empyrean Fairy to shiver uncontrollably. Ming Di, on the other hand, was completely at ease and had a contented expression on his face.
Ding Ning had been to the Underworld before and was more familiar with this Yin aura. He had a vague feeling that the Yin aura here was very similar to that of the Underworld, but he felt that something was missing. He couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
"It's missing a little death aura."
Emperor Hades' words hit the nail on the head.
Realization dawned on Ding Ning. The air in the Underworld was filled with a thick death aura, but here, it wasn't as thick.
"Why is that?"
Ding Ning was puzzled. They were both in the nether world, so why was there no death aura here?
"The Path of Reincarnation!"
Emperor Hades explained, "There's something wrong with the Path of Reincarnation here. No one died."
"No one died?"
Ding Ning was even more puzzled. He had seen the souls of the dead stepping on the Path of Reincarnation with his own eyes. Why did Emperor Hades say that there were no deaths here?
"Not everyone has the right to reincarnate. Only merit is the standard to determine if one has the right to reincarnation."
Emperor Hades didn't explain further, probably because it was related to the secrets of the nether world. He let go of Ding Ning's hand and strode forward.
Here, Emperor Hades was like a fish in water. The thick Nether aura was enough to replenish his energy and he didn't need Ding Ning to transfer energy to him anymore.
Although Emperor Hades didn't say it clearly, Ding Ning seemed to understand what Emperor Hades meant.
The Underworld of the Three Realms was the normal Six Paths of Reincarnation. There was a strict set of criteria to determine if one had the right to reincarnation. Only those with enough merit could enter the Path of Reincarnation. Those without enough merit could not enter the Path of Reincarnation.
But the Kun Peng World's Path of Reincarnation was completely different. As long as one died, one would enter the Path of Reincarnation. The only difference was whether one reincarnated with the memories of their previous life or without.
Perhaps this was the Kun Peng's selfishness. After all, the demons here were all born in its inner world. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were its descendants.
This shocked Ding Ning. According to the Kun Peng World's Path of Reincarnation, as long as their souls were not destroyed, wouldn't they be able to live forever?
Who was Zi Que 'er's past life? Who was Kong Lei's past life? Who was He Ling's past life …
Would they awaken their past life's memories one day?
These two Paths of Reincarnation were like two completely different companies. If the Three Realms' Path of Reincarnation was an international company with a complete and modern management system that strictly followed the rules and regulations to evaluate every employee's performance, then the Kun Peng World's Path of Reincarnation was a family-run enterprise that was full of loopholes. Rewards and punishments were decided by the parents at their whim. There was no fairness to speak of.
Heaven and Earth Are Heartless, Treating All Things as Straw Dogs
These words subconsciously appeared in Ding Ning's mind.
These words came from the Tao Te Ching. It meant that heaven and earth did not care about benevolence, nor did it care about being heartless. Heaven and earth gave birth to all things and did not intend to take back any rewards.
In layman's terms, heaven and earth treated all things the same. It did not treat anyone especially good or bad. Everything would develop naturally.
It was precisely because heaven and earth were heartless that there was no such thing as the ways of the world. There was no such thing as close or distant. It treated everyone equally. This was the greatest fairness.
At this moment, Ding Ning suddenly understood. He understood the nature of the world, and he understood how to maintain the order of the world's operation.
The aura around him changed rapidly. His eyes became emotionless and cold, like an emperor above the Nine Heavens looking down at his lowly subjects.
