Chapter 197, Section 196: [Ascending to Godhood]

"Sisters, you've misunderstood. This person is just my newly adopted younger brother in the mortal realm."

After he ascended to heaven, I saw that he had nowhere to go for the time being, so he just stayed here for a while. He was by no means a perfect match for me.

My sister and I haven't seen each other for half a year, and I miss her terribly.

At this time of year, the fairy flowers in Dongyunhai should be blooming. Their fragrance is beneficial to female immortals' cultivation; let's go see them together.

Mingluan calmly rose from Chen Sheng's embrace and gracefully approached the fairies, her expression as usual.

But the fairies present had known each other for thousands of years and knew each other's character better than anyone else. Who would believe her nonsense? They chattered away.

"So he's a good little brother. How strange, why is Fairy Mingluan sitting in her little brother's lap?"

"You all don't understand, this must be the kind of good younger brother who can live in his older sister's boudoir."

"Mingluan, just tell the truth."

……

"Oh, what a handsome immortal!"

A sudden exclamation from the crowd caused Mingluan's expression to change.

With a sweep of her divine sense, she saw Fairy Yu Shu, who had cultivated the Fiery Eyes of Truth, staring intently at her man with reddened eyes and two golden rays flashing in her pupils.

The other person's gaze was vacant, her cherry-like mouth slightly open, clearly having seen through the concealing hat, and was now shocked by the unparalleled beauty that had come into view.

Mingluan's mind was instantly thrown into chaos. Just as she was about to activate the Fangxin Pavilion's formation to drive away all the bad women who might try to steal her man, she saw Chen Sheng remove his face-covering hat and speak politely.

"Greetings, fairies. I am Mingluan's sworn brother, a newly ascended immortal—Zhong Kui."

hiss--

As Chen Sheng's face was revealed, all the fairies gasped in unison, and none of them uttered a sound.

They all stared blankly at his face, which seemed to embody the spirit of heaven and earth, and his eyes, which were like stars, collectively lost in thought.

[Occupation 2]: Femme Fatale
Level: Lv3 (62/300)

Talents: Bewitching All Beings, Thousand Illusory Eyes

After arriving in the Heavenly Realm with Mingluan, he gained the strong approval of a fifth-level cultivator. His original profession as a beauty has been transformed into that of a femme fatale, and he has acquired new talents.

[Thousand Illusion Demon Eyes]: Further enhances basic charm and can stir up the desires in the hearts of all beings when actively cast, making them naturally develop a liking for the caster and quickly develop into love.

Yes, when Chen Sheng made his appearance, he secretly used his Thousand Illusion Demon Eyes on the fairies, making them his targets.

He hadn't forgotten his plan to cultivate immortality. Although Mingluan had been very kind to him, he absolutely couldn't give up a whole forest for the sake of one big tree.

Since this world has a profession that involves charm, all the single female immortals in the heavenly realm should become his wings to fly and provide assistance for his cultivation.

"Dear sisters, just as Sister Mingluan said, our relationship is completely innocent..."

Upon hearing Chen Sheng address the other fairies as "elder sister" and explain that he was innocent with her, Mingluan felt a surge of jealousy.

With a fierce wave of her hand, she used the array within her residence to teleport Chen Sheng to an unknown location.

Then, with a furious look in her eyes, she addressed her best friends who were looking at her man with filthy eyes.

"Sisters, I'm a little tired today, you should leave early."

Seeing Chen Sheng leave, all the fairies were filled with a sense of loss. After a strange silence, one of them finally uttered a wistful sound.

"Since Mingluan is unable to entertain guests, then let's leave."

These fairies, who had met Chen Sheng once, had lost interest in continuing their antics and left one by one, departing quite decisively.

However, each with their own thoughts, their eyes were filled with inexplicable meaning as they left Fangxin Pavilion. It seemed that the once close sisters were now harboring a hidden hostility.

The femme fatale had a strong professional talent. With just one meeting, one glance, and one sentence, these female immortals felt that they had fallen in love with Chen Sheng, and at the same time, they felt a strong love in Chen Sheng's gaze.

They wished to find one heart to share with, and stay together until their hair turned white. They were willing to give anything to be with Zhong Kui's brother.

The women around me are all lecherous and lustful, and with their impressive family backgrounds, they will be formidable competitors. I must be wary of them.

As for Mingluan, who has gained the upper hand in this competition, what good is it if she can keep Zhong Kui's younger brother well hidden now?
With their power, as long as Zhong Kui is still in the Beike world, he will eventually be found.

Fifth-level cultivators have long lives and plenty of opportunities to win the heart of a handsome man, so why rush things?

Just as the female immortals transformed into streaks of light and scattered in all directions to inquire about the handsome men, Mingluan in Fangxin Pavilion also arrived in a sea of ​​clouds covered with various fairy flowers through a teleportation array.

The sun's rays shone on the clouds and flowers, painting the entire world in varying shades of gold, showcasing the vastness and grandeur of the heavens.

But Chen Sheng's tall and upright figure, elegant demeanor, and dazzling temperament made him the center of the world, making the surrounding environment merely a backdrop.

"What are thousands of years of sisterhood? For you, my little nemesis, it would be worth it even if I had to be an enemy of everyone else."

The moment Mingluan saw Chen Sheng, all her unhappiness vanished. She took a few steps forward, took his hand, and said gently.

“Brother, now that you have obtained the divine office you need, let’s go and take up your post now.”

Chen Sheng turned around, surprised, and asked, "Us?"

"Yes, I really don't want to be separated from you. I want to go with you."

"But you must have a lot of official business to attend to in the Temple of Morality."

Chen Sheng had a bad feeling.

No, sister, if you stay by my side every day, how can the other sisters win me over?
"My brother is Yang Jian, the master of the Morality Hall. It doesn't matter if he's absent for hundreds of years."

"Then why are you in such a hurry?"
My sister hasn't seen her friends in a long time; shouldn't they get together for a few days?

"Your appointment to your priesthood is time-limited and cannot be delayed for even a moment."

Mingluan lied; in reality, she didn't want to stay in the Celestial Palace for even a second longer.

Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves missing you.

The way her sisters looked at her younger brother made her extremely uneasy, fearing that the most important person in her life would be taken away from her.

"Oh well."

After thinking it over, Chen Sheng did not refuse Mingluan's request to accompany him to his new post.

Flies don't land on eggs without cracks.

As a wicked man who attracted many women, he trusted the wisdom of the female immortals. Even if he were to take up a post far away, or even if he were accompanied by a fairy with a powerful background, they would still find a way to get close to him. After reaching an agreement, the two joined hands and transformed into a hidden beam of light, flying towards the western part of the celestial realm.

Along the way, one could see endless seas of clouds, with thousands of jade peaks occasionally appearing amidst the waves, and glazed palaces scattered like stars among them. A roc with its wings drooping swept by, auspicious beasts galloped freely, celestial maidens flew in the sky, and heavenly soldiers patrolled, creating a magnificent celestial atmosphere.

Mingluan was already used to these sights, but she was still very happy to be by Chen Sheng's side. While introducing the scenery, she even had the mind to gossip about her sisters to prevent any potential trouble.

"My sisters, don't be fooled by their pure and refined appearances and ethereal beauty; they are actually all bad women."

Among the dozen or so sisters, Yu Jingzi is the most vain. When a male immortal expresses his love to her, she neither agrees nor refuses. Is it something a good person would do to keep someone hanging like that?
And then there's that little bitch Xuanji. She's already engaged to another male immortal, and they're supposed to get married in thirty years, but when she saw her brother just now, her eyes practically popped out of their sockets. She's shameless.

Yu Shu appears dignified, but she is somewhat lecherous. She once used her Fiery Eyes to peep at a male immortal bathing; she truly has no shame…

"That was really wrong."

Chen Sheng casually responded to Mingluan's words, keeping the layout of the Heavenly Realm in mind along the way, and also gaining a better understanding of the personalities and preferences of the dozen or so female immortals.

After flying for two days, they arrived at the far west of the celestial realm.

Here, the clouds on the ground quietly turned inky black, and thick dark clouds floated in the sky, shrouding everything in darkness.

This is where Chen Sheng held office, and also the place where he reincarnates in the netherworld.

Although the Beike World is structured as a three-realm world, it does not have a dedicated underworld space for the dead to live in. Only this region located in the western part of the celestial realm fulfills this function.

This doesn't mean the structure of the Bei Ke world is flawed.

In fact, most of the fruits on the Jambudvipa tree have no place for reincarnation. After a living being dies, its soul dissipates directly into spiritual energy, which is then absorbed by other living beings.

But doing so is a waste.

If the soul of the deceased is purified and infused with a powerful life force, and then injected into the body of a new life, the consumption of the fruit in creating souls can be greatly reduced.

This process is mostly added to the pulp of fruits purely for consumption reasons.

Of course, some cultivators who attain enlightenment through the necromancy often choose to expand this process, creating a vast underworld for the undead to live in.

From Chen Sheng's perspective as the ruler of this world, the land of reincarnation in the Bei Ke world could only be considered a prototype of the underworld.

Only when a space expands to a certain size can it be separated and become an independent space.

At present, there is neither judgment on one's virtue in life nor choice on reincarnation. Humans are reborn as humans and beasts as beasts, which is only set up to reduce the consumption of the fruits.

Mingluan mentioned on the way here that there are two deities in charge of this place.

One is the god of the underworld, responsible for cleansing the memories within the soul.

One is the god of the underworld, responsible for the reincarnation of the dead.

All of them are important positions that assist in the operation of heaven and earth.

Chen Sheng and Mingluan flew into the dark clouds and flew for a long time before they saw some different scenery.

A turbid, yellowish-brown river flowed freely and meandered across the cloud-covered land.
Countless souls appeared out of thin air above the river, only to be sucked into the water and drowned in the murky liquid the next moment, howling.

The soul, which had been cleansed into a blank state in a moment, rose from the water again and was sucked into a wheel in the sky.

The wheel was enormous, estimated to be a hundred miles in diameter, and covered with countless holes.

Once the soul is sucked into the void, it disappears, presumably to be reincarnated.

"Fairy Mingluan?"

Above the underworld, the figure of a middle-aged woman suddenly appeared. She looked beautiful and her full figure was wrapped in a coarse linen dress. Her simplicity concealed an inner charm, making her extremely pleasing to the eye.

There are only a few hundred cultivators of the fifth rank or above serving in the Immortal Palace, and most of them know each other. It is not surprising that the God of the Yellow Springs could recognize Mingluan.

Looking at this somewhat attractive goddess, Mingluan put her arm around Chen Sheng's and introduced her intimately.

"This is the newly appointed immortal Zhong Kui of the Morality Hall, who has come to take over the position of the God of the Underworld's Wheel of Reincarnation."

"Having met the immortal Zhong Kui, we will be colleagues working together here for tens of thousands of years."

Chen Sheng was just too attractive.

Even though the God of the Underworld was unwilling to offend Mingluan, who was close to him, he couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.

Only after exchanging a few polite words under Mingluan's unfriendly gaze did they hastily end the conversation.

"The two immortals have just arrived in the Land of Reincarnation, and they must have many important matters to attend to, so I won't disturb them any longer."

If you need any help, you can call upon my name in the Yellow Springs. My immortal name is—Du Xuan.

She knew Xiang Mingluan, and her last words were clearly addressed to Chen Sheng.

Du Xuan Fairy mainly cultivates the Black Emperor Water Virtue Yang God, which is composed of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques. She has received the Yellow Spring God's office and knows a fairy technique that can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded. This technique is also worth learning.

Being in a good position gives you an advantage; you can give the other person a chance to win you over later.

The thought flashed through Chen Sheng's mind. He nodded to Fairy Du Xuan and watched her disappear in a flash of light before taking out the talisman.

With Mingluan acting as protector, the process of merging divine roles began.

He held the talisman between his hands, and golden light immediately shone from it, transforming its yang spirit from its disguised fleshy form into obsidian, before it collapsed with a bang.

The fragments of Yang Shen transformed into a wisp of Qi that spun rapidly, enveloping the talisman in a whoosh. Then, with a flash of golden light, the scattered Yang Shen fragments were bound together.

Without much fanfare, Chen Sheng returned to his previous appearance and successfully assumed the position of god.

At this moment, he felt that he had gained a power called reincarnation, and that he had a certain degree of control over the huge wheel in the sky.

From now on, in addition to the power of his own cultivation, he can also use the power of reincarnation to attack others.

They could easily obliterate their opponent's soul into tiny fragments, which would then be reborn as hundreds of low-intelligence beasts.

After Chen Sheng became the god of reincarnation, he and Mingluan settled down in the land of reincarnation.

He spent his days quietly contemplating the mysteries of his priesthood, and with a beautiful woman by his side, he lived a very happy life.

In contrast, Mingluan's sisters often played tricks on her.

Not long after the two settled here, Mingluan received an order from the Yuanshi Palace, requiring her to descend to the mortal realm every so often to carry out official duties.

She didn't keep a close watch on him, and the sisters often traveled long distances to visit Chen Sheng, gradually becoming familiar with him.
