Chapter 10: The Annoyance of the Heavenly Emperor
"But to be on the safe side, I'm afraid I'll have to lay low for a while. Without obtaining absolute power, the wisest method is to choose dormancy!" The mysterious person finally poked his head out of the windbreaker. Good heavens! Why does this guy look exactly like Xiao Chen?!
The underworld, a temporary resting place for all the spirits of the dead. After listening to the words of King Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, I finally calmed down a bit in my heart. Suddenly, the relaxed Yanluo Wang and Cui Panguan bid farewell with reverence to the true mastermind behind the underworld and left.
But little did they know, shortly after they left, the eyes of King Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, which had never been opened before, were now wide open. "People say I refuse to open my eyes because I don't want to see this filthy and dirty world. But what they don't know is that my eyes are truly terrifying! With just one glance, I can see everything from the highest heavens to the lowest hells. Nothing in the world can escape my gaze!"
"But is knowing more really a good thing?" The usually stoic King Dizang Bodhisattva smiled, but his smile was filled with endless melancholy and bitterness.
The Bodhisattva Jizang, who was feeling extremely down, suddenly felt as if something was rubbing against his thigh. He hastily looked down and found that it was a gigantic creature with a wide face and a coat of exceptionally handsome light brown fur.
"Listen, my old friend! Did you also feel my sorrow and come to comfort me? Thanks! It seems that in this world, only you understand me! My eyes can see the changes of all things in the world, and your ears can hear the breath of all things. But do you have the same feeling as me? The more I know, the more trouble I get?"
Ting Di is the mount of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the divine beast of the underworld. Although it cannot speak, its spiritual wisdom has long been awakened. Facing Ksitigarbha's infinite emotions, it let out a long whistle and nodded frequently.
King Yama gently patted the large head of Dì Tán, but his gaze involuntarily looked up. Those profound eyes shot straight up, bursting out of the underworld, passing through the mortal world, and finally rushing to the clouds outside the nine heavens.
Beyond the Ninth Heaven? That's right! It is beyond the Ninth Heaven! This place, for the vast majority of ordinary people, is an extremely mysterious place. So, in this extremely mysterious place, what exactly exists? Here, it turns out to be a world as well, a world that ordinary people are completely unaware of its existence, and at the same time, it is also an exceptionally beautiful world. Here, golden light shines everywhere all the time, auspicious aura surrounds every place. Here, heavenly music drifts gently all day long, heavenly energy envelops all year round.
Here, there are countless jade palaces and crystal mansions. Here, there are endless pavilions and towers. Every building here can be called the most perfect and flawless art treasure in this world. If one word could describe this place, it would absolutely be a paradise on earth.
That's right, a paradise on earth! This is heaven, mysterious heaven! Beautiful heaven!
In this fairyland, there is such a beautiful place. Here has the famous flower that never withers for thousands of years, here has the auspicious grass that never falls for ten thousand years. In addition, countless beautiful rare birds and beasts are playing and frolicking carefree.
What a beautiful and peaceful picture!
At this moment, a faint sigh was heard. In the beautiful pavilion, a man wearing an imperial crown and dressed in a brocade imperial robe gently stroked the jade stone railing below his hand, slowly shaking his head.
The man was about forty years old, with a fair complexion and handsome looks. He had thick eyebrows and a thin beard, and although he was just casually heading to that station, his entire body exuded an aura of majesty that only emperors possessed.
In the Heavenly Realm, someone with such attire and aura, his name is on the tip of one's tongue. That's right! He is the Heavenly Emperor! He is the supreme ruler of the Heavenly Realm, and also an existence revered by all people!
At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor had a worried look on his face. Could it be that even the highest existence in Heaven, revered by all people, would also encounter things that were not to their liking? It must be known that among the three realms, no matter when or where, no matter how the oceans changed into mulberry fields, there was one thing that remained unchanged since ancient times: that is, small characters have small sorrows, and great characters have great troubles.
The Heavenly Emperor cannot help but be worried. The three realms of Heaven, Earth and Man, although the Heavenly Realm is majestic and superior to the other two realms, showing endless splendor. But who can know the deep troubles hidden behind this brilliant facade?
The Heaven's ability to stand above the other two realms is actually due to its unparalleled powerful strength. However, this unparalleled powerful strength is not innate, but rather comes from the faith of all people in the mortal world, which produces a power born of faith.
The more faith power is absorbed, the stronger the heavenly realm will be. But what if not enough faith power can be collected? No matter how beautiful a thing is, without solid support, it's just a castle in the air, a flower on the water, beautiful but impermanent. A tree without roots, no matter how tall, will wither; a river without source, no matter how vast, will dry up!
For the eternal prosperity of the Heavenly Realm, it is necessary to continuously increase the number of believers. To this end, the wise and great Heavenly Emperor has been constantly dispatching his trusted generals to spread the source of faith in unfamiliar worlds. The last batch was sent out a hundred years ago.
In that strange world, in order to make the indigenous people believe in the heavenly realm and revere it, the powerful generals dispatched by the heavenly realm did their best to help those weak and small indigenous people, helping them solve a series of problems, even going so far as to painstakingly help them improve their own strength. For the humans of that world, the heavenly realm was generous and selfless. They paid out so much for the people, yet they didn't seek any return from the people. Their only wish was to make people believe in themselves and revere themselves.
But who would have thought that those seemingly kind-hearted humans, after gaining great power, began to reveal their ugly faces. They did not know how to repay the blessings given by the people of the Heavenly Realm, and some even dared to oppose them, with some being hypocritical and others being arrogant.
The Heavenly Emperor was enraged, thoroughly enraged. A group of despicable humans, shameless humans. Fine, since you don't reverence the Heavenly Realm, then let you all fend for yourselves from now on. In a fit of rage, the Heavenly Emperor immediately recalled all the Heavenly people in that world and renamed it the God-Abandoned Continent, vowing that the Heavenly people would never set foot there again.
"But... but... 'Song Cheng, Song Shi! Xiao Xian, Ling Xue you four bastards!' Suddenly, the Heavenly Emperor let out a loud roar. Frightening countless rare birds and beasts to scatter in all directions."
Song Cheng, Song Shi! Xiao Xian, Ling Xue were among the capable generals sent by the Heavenly Emperor to that world. However, they were the four people who refused to leave after receiving the Heavenly Emperor's order to depart from that world.
When he learned that those four bastards actually defied his orders and remained in that world, the Heavenly Emperor was furious. He hated to send someone to that world immediately, bring back those bastards and punish them severely.
But... But I couldn't. If I did, it would spread the word to everyone. Do you want people to know that in heaven, there is someone who dares to disobey my orders as the Heavenly Emperor?
No, the Heavenly Realm is supreme among the three realms, and its people are harmonious and loving. The Heavenly Realm itself is perfect and flawless. If this matter were to be made known, it would become a great shame for the Heavenly Realm, and at that time, the reputation of the Heavenly Realm would plummet, with consequences too terrible to contemplate!
No, Your Imperial Majesty, Heaven's Emperor, must not let such a thing happen!
Just as the supreme being Tian Di was unleashing his thunder in the heavenly realm, Xiao Chen was drifting aimlessly in the dark space, heading towards that unknown perilous and mysterious world - Shen Qi Continent!
Dark space, this is a very strange space. In this strange space, time seems to be abnormally chaotic. At this moment, in this wonderful space, the body of Xiao Chen, whose memories have been partially sealed, is drifting forward uncontrollably.
Here is the vast universe, Xiao Chen has witnessed countless suns, moons and stars being born or destroyed before his own eyes. Birth is a warm beauty, while destruction is a desolate beauty. And these changes bring to Xiao Chen's heart shock, joy, appreciation, sorrow, or despair.
But no matter what changes. Xiao Chen is just a spectator of all this, a passerby. He has no power over anything, he can only continue to drift endlessly. Xiao Chen sometimes feels that hundreds of years, even thousands of years have passed, but sometimes it feels like those things are just in an instant. Which one of these feelings is correct? Xiao Chen can't tell, he can only keep drifting.
Just then, a fragment of memory suddenly emerged in Xiao Chen's mind. In this fragment of memory, two people were depicted, one male and one female, the man was exceptionally handsome, and the woman was stunningly beautiful. But on their faces, they both wore faint, benevolent smiles.
Xiao Chen could be certain that he had never seen these two people before. But why did the shadows of these two people emerge from the depths of his memory? Why did these two strangers give him an extremely intimate feeling?
Also, for some reason, Xiao Chen's eyes became moist without realizing it. With blurry tearful eyes, he seemed to see the two of them reaching out their hands to him. Overwhelmed with emotion, Xiao Chen trembled as he stretched out his own hand, wanting to grasp theirs. But 'plop', the fragments of memory shattered completely. Nothing... nothing was left!
"No!" Xiaochen, who was in agony, finally fainted after letting out a heart-wrenching scream. However, even though he had fainted, his body continued to drift forward, continuing towards that unknown world - the God Abandoned Continent!
"Xiao Chen! My poor child, you still can't escape your fate!" The eerie voice spat out of Xiao Chen's mouth once again, unable to conceal the affection and concern.
The owner of this mysterious voice was the powerful being who, in the nineteenth layer of hell in the underworld, intimidated the Yaksha at a critical moment and ultimately saved Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen, what kind of secret are you hiding on your body?
