The Lone Walker

This scene caught Chen Fan off guard. He used his magical power to look with his eyes and saw that Ksitigarbha's soul seemed to be about to break out of the body.

Then Chen Fan immediately used his magic power to help Ksitigarbha, but the effect was minimal.

Helpless Chen Fan could only summon the Xuantian Tower.

……

At the same time, the tower far away on Xuantian Island in the mortal world felt the call of its master and shook slightly.

Then, a ray of golden light shot out from the tower, crossing the Yin and Yang realms and leading directly to the underworld.

With the appearance of the Xuantian Pagoda spirit, Chen Fan urged it to float above Dizang's head.

Fortunately, this magic weapon has the effect of suppressing the spirit and calming the soul, otherwise Chen Fan really doesn’t know what to do.

Although he temporarily helped Ksitigarbha to suppress the riot of his soul, Chen Fan now felt more confused.

“Huh…” Ksitigarbha let out a long sigh, opened his eyes, and staggered to his feet.

……

"Daoyou are indeed very powerful. From the day I was born, in the long years of billions of kalpas, no one has ever been able to make me so embarrassed. I admire you." Ksitigarbha stood up and said, his eyes calmly, and there was no trace of emotion in his eyes when he looked at Chen Fan.

"As expected, you are an existence that has transcended the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements. You are indeed extraordinary. No matter in the past, present, or future, there is no trace of you. Who are you?"

He thought that Chen Fan had used some magic to nearly make his soul leave his body. You have to know that he was the Human Book (Opportunity) (Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva) who had existed since before the beginning of Pangu.

He has already gone through countless calamities and has become immortal. Even the Heavenly Book (Destiny), which is also one of the three books, cannot subdue him so easily.

Therefore, he was a little curious about Chen Fan's identity.

……

"It's not my power that's hurting you, but your soul. It used to be a part of another person, and the other part is in my hands. That's why your soul is rioting, and it can't wait to get out and merge with me." Chen Fan said, looking at the surprised Ksitigarbha.

“How is that possible? You know that I am the incarnation of the human book in this world. If my soul was once a part of someone else, doesn’t it mean that the other two books may also be…” Ksitigarbha was even more shocked when he heard this.

"It should be correct, look..." Chen Fan said as he raised the ring on his hand. The rich light made Ksitigarbha slightly dazed.

……

It’s no wonder that Jizo was so surprised, you know;

The three books of heaven, earth and man have existed since the beginning of the world. They govern every birth and death in the world and each has its own magical use:

The Heavenly Book records all the information about all things in the world. It is all-encompassing and cannot be changed or altered. (Huangji Jingshi Shu)

The Book of Earth can change the outcome, but it is restricted by the Book of Heaven and cannot change what is recorded in the Book of Heaven.

(I guess it should be the original spirit of Nuwa, the mother of the earth. After the second part, Nuwa followed Jiang Chen to the Pangu Holy Land. That's why she is in the hands of the Holy Mother of Yaochi.)

The Human Book represents human free will and is an opportunity left to the world.

……

“No wonder it has been said since ancient times that if one can collect the three books of heaven, earth and man, one can control the universe, rewrite the destiny of creation at will, control human will and even emotions, and become the one and only true God since eternity. It turns out that I am just a part of someone else.” Ksitigarbha felt the attraction of Chen Fan’s ring to his soul, and couldn’t help feeling a little lost, muttering to himself.

“I wonder what kind of person can have such great power, and how he transformed himself into me…” asked Ksitigarbha.

"He is my lover, the only love of my life. You should also know that I am not from this world, but came from outside the sky. In my world, all kinds of monsters are rampant and extremely powerful. In order to save the people of a city, she used forbidden techniques and forcibly improved her cultivation, which resulted in the loss of three souls and only seven spirits left..." Chen Fan said slowly to Ksitigarbha. Chen Fan also had a different feeling about this god who always gave opportunities to all living beings with a compassionate heart.

Then Chen Fan took out an ice coffin from his sea of ​​consciousness and opened it. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva went forward to check it out out of curiosity, but as soon as he approached, some memory fragments flooded into his mind.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva suppressed his discomfort and saw the woman in the coffin. With just one glance, his soul almost went out of control, and even the Xuantian Tower almost couldn't suppress it.

Fortunately, Dizang withdrew his gaze in time, otherwise he would have disappeared by now.

……

“I see. No wonder the Book of Life and Death was suddenly rewritten after you saved He Yingqiu’s child, and it almost caused me to develop a mental disorder. No wonder my soul became violent as soon as you got here.” Ksitigarbha finally accepted the reality and nodded secretly.

“With your ability, fellow Taoist, you actually figured it out. Why didn’t you just take my soul away, but instead helped me suppress it…” Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva asked.

"Because I feel that at most in fifty years, there will be a chance for the three books to be combined into one. Then a battle will decide the outcome. Wouldn't that be wonderful..." Chen Fan exuded a terrifying aura that shook the entire underworld.

"Although you have great magical powers, I wonder if you can listen to what I have to say..." Ksitigarbha said to Chen Fan after hearing this.

"But it doesn't matter..."

"Fellow Daoist, have you ever thought about what to do if you fail..." asked Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Chen Fan was about to say that he would not fail, but he always felt that Dizang had something else in mind.

……

"Then I wonder what advice Ksitigarbha has..." Chen Fan asked.

"I am not worthy of your teaching. I want you to replace me and become the new Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said.

"Why, you are not dead yet, why are you so anxious to give up your position?" Chen Fan said with a smile after hearing this.

“No, since the result has already been determined, then if I don’t go to hell, who will? One of you died saving others, and the other came to this world after experiencing hardships. Such a miracle is truly amazing.” Ksitigarbha said.

"The meaning of my existence is to give all living beings a chance. Now it's time to give myself this chance." As soon as Dizang finished speaking, a raging fire ignited around his body. The temperature was so high that Chen Fan looked sideways.

“Only after saving all sentient beings can I attain Bodhi. I will not become a Buddha until hell is empty. The way of heaven is cruel and all sentient beings are suffering. I am willing to sink and float in the six desires of this world… Amitabha!!!” Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva turned into ashes in a raging fire, leaving only a book emitting white light floating in the void.

Upon seeing this, Chen Fan quickly put it into his sea of ​​consciousness, because this book is the original spirit of Ksitigarbha, which is one of the three souls of Yang Yunxi.

As expected, things in this world are unpredictable. With the Book of Humanity entering his body, the entire underworld is under Chen Fan's control. In the eyes of everyone in the underworld, Chen Fan is now the master of the underworld.

Chen Fan did not turn it into a soul either, because once it was refined, he was afraid that unexpected things would happen in the underworld, and it might even be destroyed.

Therefore, he still had to find a substitute, otherwise, Chen Fan would have to bear the endless karma of the destruction of the underworld alone.
