She became a god

“They all say I’m a jinx; anyone who sees me will encounter a ghost, then suffer nightmares, foam at the mouth, and gradually die in agony.”

"Everyone said that before I embarked on the path of cultivation. I really am like a jinx; all my relatives have died because of me."

"When I embarked on the path of cultivation, I thought cultivators were incredibly resilient and wouldn't be easily killed by me, so I concealed my disgusting constitution and changed my name to join the Fire Control Sect. But several people in the sect died because of me. Isn't a Netherworld Body that has killed so many people despicable?"

Ye Qingzhou suddenly asked, "You changed your name. What was your previous name? Would you mind telling me?"

A look of disgust and pain appeared on Chen Lai's face. Just when Ye Qingzhou thought there was nothing more to say, she suddenly spoke up, "Chen Lai Di, I don't like the name my family gave me so that we could have another brother. I don't like it at all."

No wonder…no wonder she always seemed so hesitant, even though she was a cultivator of the Fire Path. Born into a patriarchal family in the Purple Sand Kingdom, where even her family didn't truly love her, how could she possibly have the confidence to face the outside world?

At the same time, Angie exclaimed, "That's right!"

Noticing the questioning gazes around her, Anqi spoke again to explain, "Any being that harbors malice towards the Netherworld Body will immediately see the karma they have committed. The reason why those people Chen Lai mentioned died tragically after encountering ghosts is because they saw the wronged spirits they had personally killed. The wronged spirits were seeking revenge, and the karma was being returned. Since they did not cultivate merit, they naturally died."

"These people are corrupt and have brought this upon themselves; how can they blame the Netherworld Body?"

No wonder Anqi cares so much, because the Netherworld Body is the threshold for geniuses in the Underworld.

Not all beings with a Netherworld Body are powerful beings in the Netherworld, but all powerful beings in the Netherworld possess a Netherworld Body, and An Qi is no exception.

After Anqi ascended to the throne, she not only recruited cultivators with Netherworld Physique in the Underworld for training, but also recruited beings with Netherworld Physique from the other five realms to cultivate in the Underworld.

She had been wondering why Chen Lai, being a being of the Netherworld, wasn't her subordinate, but now that Chen Lai had recounted his past and revealed his original name, how could she not know?

People who have done wrong will not only not repent when they receive retribution, but will also smear innocent people.

To avoid admitting one's own crimes, one might slander others as jinxes—this is human nature, selfish and self-serving.

Chen Lai below was stunned, tears streaming down her face. She moved her lips and asked in a trembling voice, "Is it really not my fault?"

"Of course not. You weren't even born when most of the people you're talking about were doing evil, and you didn't incite them to do evil, so how can you be blamed?"

You have not committed any sin, but rather have done something meritorious.

"I have done something good? Little kitten... Fellow Daoist from the Demon Realm, I don't like being joked about."

Ye Qingzhou stomped his left hind paw. "First of all, I'm not a kitten, I'm a red panda. I have a name. I'm called Ye Qingzhou. Ye is the 'leaf' of bamboo, and Qingzhou is the 'light boat' of 'light boat has already crossed ten thousand mountains.'"

Secondly, I'm not joking with you; you really have done a great service! Think about it, if those truly evil people hadn't met you, they might have died later. If they had died later, how wronged, sad, angry, and helpless would the lives they caused have felt? By making their deaths sooner, those innocent souls would certainly be very grateful to you. You helped innocent people kill their enemies; isn't that a great act of merit?

Hearing this, Chen Lai was somewhat tempted, but she was still conflicted. "Even if they killed someone, I don't have the right to kill them. Every life is equal, and I have no right to decide someone else's life or death."

[Vocal, could this woman be a member of the abolitionist movement from Earth who transmigrated here?]

"Hmph, you take them to heart, but they see you as a jinx."

"You think you're the kindest person in the world, but they think you're the dumbest idiot in the world!"

"You'd better always think like this, so that even if you get tortured and killed, no one will avenge you. After all, no one has the right to decide someone else's life or death!"

Being pointed at and cursed like that, Chen Lai couldn't help but get angry. "Fellow Daoist Ye, we have no grudge against each other, why are you humiliating me like this?"

Ye Qingzhou's eyes lit up. "You actually think this is an insult? I thought you didn't even know the word 'insult' anymore."

After all, those people brought this upon themselves and then called you a jinx, and you even felt sorry for their deaths. I was just stating your actual situation, and you got angry.

If you really have that kind of temper, then when you encounter someone who calls you a jinx, don't cry and whine; just go up to them and give them a good beating.

If you still can't bear to do it, feel reluctant, and just can't bring yourself to do it, then you shouldn't overthink it; you're a jinx!

Your cowardly and foolish kindness is the biggest calamity in your otherwise perfect life!

"Good, good, good!" The other cultivators were stunned by Ye Qingzhou's words. An Qi was the first to recover and even clapped her hands in praise.

"Little Zhouzhou, come here, I have something good for you."

[A gift from the ruler of a realm must be worth at least 100,000 high-grade spirit stones!]

[Hahaha...I'm going to be rich!]

Ye Qingzhou happily wiggled her body and quickly climbed to An Qi's side.

"This Eight Treasures Necklace is a high-grade Earth-level defensive magic treasure. The eight treasures are made by stringing together twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls from the depths of the Underworld Sea with other spiritual treasures as the main stones. It has many wonderful features, so you can figure them out for yourself."

The twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls together constitute a mid-grade Earth-level defensive magic treasure. The item bestowed by the Lord of the Underworld must have been crafted by skilled artisans from the Underworld.

[I've really struck it rich this time... Wait, the Lord of the Underworld and I are not related. Even if what I said aligns with her wishes, she doesn't seem like the type to be so generous to just anyone. Could it be...]

"Little Zhouzhou, you look even cuter wearing this. Since you've accepted my gift, wouldn't it be too much to ask you to do a few divinations for me before you leave?"

Can I refuse the olive branch extended by the Lord of the Underworld?

Ye Qingzhou stole a glance at Feng Jiaojiao and found that the Demon Lord not only had no intention of helping, but was also urging her with his eyes to quickly accept the good stuff.

Indeed, in the eyes of most cultivators, Ye Qingzhou's divination would only fetch a few tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones at most, according to market prices.

However, top-grade earth-level magic treasures are priceless and unavailable, let alone something bestowed by the ruler of a realm, which naturally carries even more prestige.

But... Ye Qingzhou knew this was a hidden hot potato; if the Underworld Lord's request couldn't be fulfilled, things would be terrible.

"Hmm, you don't think much of it..."

"No, I was just so happy! If it hadn't hurt so much after I pinched him, I really wouldn't have believed that such a good thing could happen. Today, I accompanied the Demon Lord on a visit to the Underworld. Not only did I meet the Underworld Lord, who is as noble and generous as the rumors say, but I also gained the Underworld Lord's favor. I am truly moved!"
