Chapter 200, Page 199: [Reincarnation Halted]

"...Our sect has transferred all the treasures that have been sealed in the inner treasury for over a million years to the Immortal Palace, which will then exercise the power of bestowing them upon us."

Whether born into our sect, an outer sect, or other immortals and gods, anyone who receives the order to slay demons in the Immortal Palace can have their merits recorded by the Four Duty Officers under the Primordial Palace, their merits verified by the Six Ding Gods in the Morality Palace, and then their merits exchanged for treasures by the Six Jia Gods in the Spirit Treasure Palace, thus receiving the reward for slaying demons.

In the world of Beike, there are 1,073 immortals and gods whose fates are intertwined with the fruits of their labor. It is hoped that all the immortals and gods can work together to sweep away all evil and slay demons to attain enlightenment.

Conversely, those who collude with the demons will be punished by heaven to set an example.

This decree is effective from the first day of the fourth month of the 7,356th year of the 980,000th year of the Heavenly Calendar, until all the Heavenly Demons within the realm are vanquished.

The sound of the imperial edict being issued went straight to people's hearts and could not be blocked out. It was repeated nine times before it stopped.

Upon hearing the decree from the Butian Sect, Chen Sheng thought to himself: "The Beike World probably doesn't have a world ruler."

If there were a master, it's hard to say whether they could deal with that seventh-tier demon king, but dealing with this calamity of the heavenly demon invasion would certainly not be so troublesome.

As long as one is willing to consume the Creation Purple Qi within the fruit core, any number of Heavenly Demons below the seventh rank will die.

Only by eliminating this calamity as soon as possible can the destruction caused by the Heavenly Demon be controlled to the smallest extent. Since the Northern Path World has chosen the clumsy method of mobilizing the beings within its realm to exterminate the demon, it means that they do not have the authority of a world ruler.

"Looks like my peaceful development days are coming to an end."

Although he felt regret, Chen Sheng did not feel much frustration.

Life is full of disappointments, which is the norm. This applies to people as well as to accomplished cultivators.

Among the masses, who can escape the influence of external trends on their destiny?

His diligent cultivation was merely a means to gain more opportunities.

"Ah Kui, look!"

The voice of the God of the Underworld reached my ears.

But even without being reminded, Chen Sheng, the god of the wheel of reincarnation, had already noticed the changes around him.

The invasion of the Heavenly Demons had only been going on for a short while, but the number of souls teleported to the Land of Reincarnation had already begun to increase rapidly.

Then, like a rain of souls, they fell down, first being submerged and baptized by the waters of the underworld on earth, and then absorbed by the wheel of reincarnation in the sky.

But unlike before, the honeycomb-like holes on the wheel of reincarnation swallow the empty souls, and then spit them out again very quickly.

It looks like there's something wrong.

Chen Sheng knew the reason for this phenomenon.

The continuous attacks of the seventh-order demon king caused tremors in the Northern Ke World. These tremors were just minor troubles for cultivators, but for mortal beings, they were like a continuous natural disaster, like a magnitude 4 or 5 earthquake.

Natural disasters caused numerous houses to collapse, burying countless people alive inside their homes. Even wild animals perished in large numbers due to landslides and falling trees.

As a result, living beings are constantly dying every moment, and it is difficult for new life to be born smoothly in such an environment, which makes it impossible for the dead in the cycle of reincarnation to be reborn.

What's even more terrifying is that this turbulence will last for a long time.

"The lives of mortals are finished, and the cycle of reincarnation can only be forced to stop. Let's just stop the Yellow Springs and the wheel of reincarnation altogether."

Running them only creates mindless, empty souls.

After hearing Chen Sheng's words, the God of the Underworld, though unwilling, knew that he was telling the truth and had no choice but to use his divine power to make all the waters of the Underworld recede.

Chen Sheng waved his hand toward the sky, and the giant wheel above his head stopped spinning. The undead, still being transported here under the rules of the underworld, began to wander aimlessly in the land of reincarnation due to their loss of sentience after death.

If this continues for a long time, under the influence of the ever-increasing volume of souls, this place may be transformed into a new underworld, and then separated from the celestial realm.

Looking at the chaotic scene before him, the God of the Underworld said with a worried expression.

"Ah Kui, should we go and get the demon-slaying order that the sect just mentioned?"

Chen Sheng answered this question without hesitation.

"Of course we should. Since our sect has brought out countless treasures collected over millions of years to encourage us to fight demons and defend the righteous path, how can we not participate enthusiastically?"

Now that the Land of Reincarnation has become like this again, I plan to send an avatar to stay here and keep watch.

"Sister, let's go together to get the Demon-Slaying Order. Along the way, we can also check on the progress of the Heavenly Demon invasion."

Finished.

Chen Sheng raised his hand and summoned the Ten Thousand Souls Banner from his sleeve. With a pinch of his five fingers, he transformed the eerie black banner into a human form.

Then he extracted the divine talisman from his own Yang spirit and implanted it into his clone.

The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls originally possessed the ability to embody the will of its master and transform into a clone to walk. Over the years, Chen Sheng continuously added various precious materials to it and used the immortal technique [External Avatar] to continuously refine it, thus transforming the artifact.

Its power has increased by at least double compared to when it was in Fu Fengzi's hands.

Although its combat power is far from comparable to its original form, it is sufficient to guard the Land of Reincarnation.

Faced with the current chaos, the God of the Underworld hesitated for a moment, but could not think of a better way out. In the end, he chose to listen to his good friend's advice.

Helplessly, he took out a divine talisman from his own Yang spirit and put it into the body of Chen Sheng, which was formed by the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, so that Chen Sheng could temporarily take over his divine duties.

After completing this action, the God of the Underworld felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and he became relaxed and radiant.

"From this day forward, I will no longer be the God of the Underworld, but simply the Fairy of Duxuan."

This usually gentle and considerate woman actually took Chen Sheng's hand and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the celestial palace in the center of the heavens.

Afterwards, how Chen Sheng's clone repaired the damage to the Land of Reincarnation and how he settled the ever-growing number of undead is a story in itself.

On his way to the Celestial Palace with Fairy Du Xuan, he saw corpses that had been refined by the Heavenly Demon still piercing through the membrane of heaven and earth, randomly scattering across the celestial realm.

Everywhere you looked, there was chaos.

Along the way, if he encountered any small fish that he could easily clean up, he would kill them.

However, if the Fiery Eyes of Truth spot a fifth-tier Heavenly Demon causing trouble from afar, they will join forces with Fairy Du Xuan to capture it with all their might and then suppress it into their Ghost King Robe.

These celestial demons are all merits that can be exchanged for the treasures of the Heaven-Mending Sect, so how could they be easily let go?

While suppressing the demon, he also used magic to send a message to his more than thirty friends on the way.

They were told not to worry about their safety and were instructed not to wander around the perilous heavens, but to wait for a suitable opportunity to reunite.

After flying for three days, they finally arrived near the celestial palace.

　Only two thousand words today.
