The Legend of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai

To put it bluntly, it's like some religious believers having an unquestionable faith in their religion, or some die-hard fans idolizing certain celebrities to the point of exhaustion.

These luminous faith energy beads are, in a sense, the power transformed from the people's extreme worship and respect for Liang Shanbo.

Every ordinary mortal possesses one of these luminous faith energy beads. Therefore, while every ordinary mortal may have many beliefs and many objects of worship, they can only have one ultimate object of faith and worship.

That is, whoever he belatedly dedicates his life's energy of faith to is his ultimate believer, someone who is like a god in his heart and cannot be betrayed.

Liang Shanbo obtained tens of thousands of Bright Faith Energy Beads, which means that tens of thousands of ordinary people regarded him as an inviolable deity in their hearts.

At this moment, Liang Shanbo is their religion, and they are Liang Shanbo's followers.

An absolute believer.

That's something you can give your life for.

Of course, Liang Shanbo couldn't possibly have thought that far ahead. He only had a basic understanding of this world, and knew nothing about the cultivation level or even higher levels.

He was unaware that by acquiring these Beads of Light and Faith Energy, he had essentially gained a group of daredevils willing to die for him. Of course, the Beads of Light and Faith Energy likely had far more uses than just that.

Otherwise, why would those three giants value it so much?

And now, Liang Shanbo is doing something unprecedented:

Consume the Light Faith Energy Bead!

The Light Faith Energy Bead, in the celestial realm, has another name: the Interdimensional Divine Bead. This bead can transport the souls of the deceased to heaven, which is the celestial realm.

During this journey, the energy of the Light Faith Energy Bead is continuously absorbed by the soul. When the soul finally arrives in heaven, the soul of an ordinary mortal is transformed into a celestial soul and possesses a physique of faith, which is equivalent to being reborn.

However, this newborn has transformed from a mortal into an immortal.

Sending a soul from the mortal realm to the celestial realm requires more than just one or two beads of light and faith energy.

No one knows exactly how many Light Faith Energy Beads are needed for this process; however, throughout history, very few souls have been able to obtain enough Light Faith Energy Beads to escort them to Heaven.

Souls that are not escorted to Heaven, though not necessarily scattered along the way, do not enjoy the same level of prestige and adoration as those who are successfully escorted to Heaven.

Liang Shanbo obtained tens of thousands of Bright Faith Energy Beads, an astonishing number that has broken through the 'tens of thousands' level.

Legend has it that souls possessing over ten thousand Beads of Light and Faith Energy can be sent to Heaven. Not to mention Liang Shanbo's, which number in the tens of thousands. It's no wonder that the five great ghost generals of the underworld were astonished.

In their view, Liang Shanbo was 100% capable of ascending to immortality because he possessed the largest number of energy beads of light and faith that they had ever seen.

The number is far more than ten thousand. Judging from their visual estimation, it's probably close to a million.

With such a vast number of Bright Faith Energy Beads, if one still cannot ascend to immortality, who would believe it?

They don't believe it anyway.

Such a prodigious talent, it would be an absolute injustice if he didn't succeed.

However, things are unpredictable.

Originally, the Beads of Faith gathered around Liang Shanbo to send his soul to heaven. However, because Liang Shanbo's soul did not leave his body like a person who died normally, the Beads of Faith were unable to send his soul to heaven and thus lingered around his body.

What's even more bizarre now is that Liang Shanbo has transformed into Guiyi, died and come back to life!

This means that these beads of light and faith energy are even less likely to send Liang Shanbo's soul to heaven.

But then another problem arose.

The Light Faith Energy Bead cannot send living souls or souls that have not left their bodies to heaven, but there is no precedent for the Light Faith Energy Bead being taken back after it has been contributed.

The Light Faith Energy Bead was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to go or return, and lingered around Liang Shanbo.

No one else knew that Liang Shanbo was still alive. Therefore, even the five Ghost Generals never considered seizing the Light Faith Energy Bead.

This is a grave taboo, a violation of the will of Heaven, and will be punished by lightning.

The five Ghost Generals and Shen Jiantong, among others, were genuinely wary and unwilling to do it.

But little did they know that Liang Shanbo's resurrection would disrupt the rules of Heaven, and the Light Faith Energy Bead, having lost the protection of the will of Heaven, would transform from an exclusive object into something that everyone could fight over.

And so, a group of cowardly and conservative individuals simply gave up on a priceless treasure that they could have easily obtained, right in front of each other.

This benefited Liang Shanbo, who gained a million Bright Faith Energy Beads in one fell swoop.

When Liang Shanbo swallowed the first Bead of Light and Faith Energy, his eyes widened immediately.

The power of the Light Faith Energy Bead clashed violently with his physical strength. What made it even more terrifying was that the Light Faith Energy Bead worshipped his soul, and his soul was currently inside him.

This effectively turned into a struggle between the power of the Light Faith Energy Bead he had swallowed and the power of his physical body for his soul. It was easy for him to swallow the Light Faith Energy Bead, but to force him to spit it out was harder than climbing to heaven.

However, to Liang Shanbo's surprise, how could the power of a Bright Faith Energy Bead possibly resist the refinement of physical strength?

This method works!

He could swallow these beads of light and faith energy one by one, and then refine them one by one.

Although the workload was enormous, at least he had a way to get his hands on these beads, so it wasn't a complete loss.

However, before Liang Shanbo could be happy for long, his face immediately turned green again.

Whether the Light Faith Energy Bead swallowed into Liang Shanbo sent a distress signal to the tens of thousands of Light Faith Energy Beads outside, or whether the tens of thousands of Light Faith Energy Beads outside sensed the crisis that the Light Faith Energy Bead inside Liang Shanbo's body was about to be refined, they all unanimously hurled their attacks at Liang Shanbo.

Liang Shanbo's expression changed drastically; the situation had suddenly spiraled out of his control.

Tens of thousands of beads of light and faith energy transformed into bursts of energy and flowed into Liang Shanbo's body.

The power of faith in light and the physical strength cultivated through martial arts instantly exploded within his body.

The two are incompatible and unwilling to yield to each other, constantly attrition on one another, seemingly locked in a life-or-death struggle.

Liang Shanbo's head looked several sizes bigger.

He felt that if he didn't come up with a solution to control the situation, his body might really explode.

A 'slip of the tongue' could lead him to sense the impending danger of death.

This time, they really went too far.

"Damn it! If this continues, I'm going to explode! How could I, the mighty and wise Eternal Holy Emperor, possibly die because of a 'slip of the tongue'? This is the first humiliation I've ever suffered in my three hundred years of cultivation!"

"...These beads seem to have a strange sense of belonging to me. They can't coexist with my body, so I won't use my physical strength to refine them. I can just set aside a place to store them all."

Thinking of this, Liang Shanbo dissipated the physical power he intended to use to refine the Light Faith Energy Beads, and then guided the power of the Light Faith Energy Beads into his dantian, preparing to store them. However, unexpectedly, another problem arose.

After the power of these luminous faith energy beads surged into his dantian, they rapidly occupied a space in the core of his dantian sea and then began to refine themselves.

Liang Shanbo was stunned.

The power of tens of thousands of luminous faith energy beads underwent a massive fusion in the core area of ​​his dantian sea, which was next to his inner world. As this massive fusion continued to advance, Liang Shanbo clearly sensed that the sacred and immortal aura was being rapidly absorbed into it, followed by the wisp of primordial chaos aura that emanated from the creation of the world.

What the hell is going on?

How could this fused energy ball possibly emit a primordial aura as strong as the creation of the world?

Could this be...

Liang Shanbo's eyes widened in disbelief.
