Rebirth: A Life Without Regrets
He's already delighted beyond measure, having gained so many benefits from Yanluo Wang. Not only did he get a chance to be reborn and start anew with his cheating device, but he also obtained the treasure of the Thunder God, granting him extraordinary abilities. He's over the moon with joy, unable to contain himself. If he becomes too greedy and provokes Yanluo Wang again, it'll end in disaster, with everything turning to naught.
He hastily said, "How could that be? Sages all say that ordinary people are not saints, who can avoid mistakes? You gods are also working, you will make mistakes when doing things, I completely understand and can accept it. Moreover, you gods really have a sense of responsibility, dare to take responsibility, and the sincerity is enough, what more excessive demands can I have? You should know that I am actually a very reasonable person, and I speak nicely!"
Yan Luo Wang almost fainted upon hearing this. "What the...! Your grandma! You didn't speak so nicely before, why are you being so generous with compensation now?"
At last, the matter was settled, and Yanluo Wang's stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He let out a long sigh, called over Bai Wuchang, and had him take Leng Binghan on a stroll around the area to experience the local flavor of the underworld, repeatedly instructing Bai Wuchang to keep an eye on Leng Binghan and not let him stir up any trouble. Then he hurried off to find Leishen to settle accounts.
He's also afraid of having too many dreams at night!
Bai Wuchang perhaps also understood something, and towards Leng Binghan he was originally somewhat flattering. Now with the superior's instructions, he was even more affectionate towards Leng Binghan. With Bai Wuchang by his side, Leng Binghan's life was quite comfortable, eating well, drinking well, having fun, truly a good experience of the underworld's exotic customs. If not for still thinking about Lei Shen's treasure and the upcoming reincarnation, he would have been reluctant to leave, wishing to take root in the underworld.
It is also unknown how King Yanluo convinced the Thunder God, but two days later, Leng Binghan finally met with the Thunder God and his wife.
Lei Gong has a pair of wings on his back, three eyes on his forehead, a red face like a monkey, and a long, sharp chin. He looks quite similar to the Lei Zhengzi in TV shows. Dian Mu, on the other hand, is elegant and refined, with a gentle and graceful demeanor. After all, they are heavenly gods, and every move they make exudes an air of superiority. However, both of them are very polite to Leng Bing Han, especially Dian Mu, who doesn't say much but shows great warmth and closeness, completely devoid of the haughty and indifferent attitude that gods often have when looking down on mortals. She is like a kind older sister next door, making Leng Bing Han feel warm and fuzzy inside, and he can't help but develop good feelings towards her.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the icy coldness was as expected, and I finally saw the treasure known as the Electric Thunder Flash. At first glance, this treasure seemed to be a pendant, its shape resembling a flying cloud, like a shooting star, very peculiar, with seven stars embedded in it, accompanied by auspicious light, shining brightly, making one's eyes fixed on it, mesmerized, and heart racing, wishing to possess it immediately.
Lei Gong was still a bit reluctant to part with it, but Dian Mu was very generous. She gave Lei Gong a glance, snatched the electric thunderbolt from his hand, and handed it over to Leng Bing Han. With gentle words and delicate movements, she taught him how to use it. Under Dian Mu's meticulous guidance, Leng Bing Han mastered the usage of the electric thunderbolt and thoroughly understood its various effects: not only could he control lightning, but also be immune to extreme temperatures, balance the six kinds of weather, ward off evil spirits, and even activate a self-defense mechanism when in danger, turning peril into safety. With this treasure, ordinary things couldn't harm him at all.
No wonder Leigong's house is reluctant to part with it. Originally, defensive treasures from all walks of life are precious and rare, let alone treasures like Dianlei that combine both offense and defense.
Leng Bing Han got the electric thunder, and was so delighted that his mouth couldn't close. Not only did he have a cool and powerful ability, but he could also avoid cold and heat, and ward off all diseases, far exceeding his expectations! He was excited to try out the effects and power of this treasure according to what Dian Mu had just instructed, but found no reaction at all.
Did I go wrong somewhere? Leng Binghan was a bit suspicious and tried several more times, but there was still no change.
Seeing this situation, Leigong and Dianmu were at a loss. Suddenly, Leigong slapped his forehead and exclaimed: "How could I have forgotten that spirits can't use lightning!"
"What does it mean?" Ling Bing Han's face was bewildered, he didn't understand what "soul body" or not, all he cared about was why the electric sparks on his hand had no reaction.
"The methods of Fa Bao are diverse and have different applications. Some can be used in all three realms, while others have various restrictions. For example, the Thunderbolt Flash can be driven by both humans and gods as long as one grasps the method, but its effectiveness varies depending on the user. However, spirits like souls cannot use it because thunder and lightning are yang in nature, whereas spirits belong to yin, and the two are mutually restrictive, making it impossible for them to use it. Since we've never let out the Thunderbolt Flash before, nor thought of this, it was overlooked."
"Hehe, no worries, now is not the time for a spirit to use it, wait until he's reborn and he won't be a spirit anymore, then he can naturally use it. No big deal, no big deal." Yanluo Wang hastily said with a lonely and fearful heart. His grandma, after much difficulty, finally managed to get this little ancestor to nod in satisfaction, but now if they were to renege on the deal, Leishen would definitely keep the treasure safe, but if he were to make other harsh demands, wouldn't that be seeking his own death?!
"Hmph!" Lei Gong sneered coldly, "You're right, but how can he bring the Thunderbolt to the mortal world? He has to go through the Wheel of Rebirth and be reborn, it's not as easy as us going to the mortal world. You want to secretly harm Leng Bing Han, that's none of my business, but don't drag us into this!"
"This..." Yan Luo Wang suddenly choked up, his face flushing bright red.
He only thought of pulling the Thunder God into the water at that time, but didn't think carefully about how cold and icy he was, easily traveling back and forth between realms. However, when a soul transmigrates and is reborn, it's impossible to bring any non-spiritual objects with them, otherwise it would disrupt the material flow of reincarnation, triggering the self-protection mechanism of the reincarnation platform, turning everything in the reincarnation path into flying smoke. This isn't like dying in the mortal world and having a soul go to the underworld for rebirth, but rather completely disappearing from this material space, never to exist again. Even with the greatest divine powers, it's impossible to retrieve what's been lost.
However, seeing the cold and icy gaze looking at him, Yanluo Wang could only hold on, sternly scolding Leigong: "Don't talk nonsense, where do I have such thoughts? From the Rebirth Platform to the Life Path, can't we just wait for him to be reborn and then send someone to deliver it to him? This is something I've already thought of and arranged properly. Do you think that just because you're not narrow-minded, you're brainless?"
Lei Gong said gloomily, "Fine, you can plot and scheme all you want. Anyway, Leng Bing Xue has already been reborn and left. If you regret it later and don't send him the treasure we gave him, aren't you afraid he'll come back to find you again?"
"You dare to insult me!" After hearing Lei Gong's vicious words, Yanluo Wang was so angry that his three corpses jumped out and seven orifices smoked. He pointed at Lei Gong and said: "I am the dignified Yanluo Wang, leading millions of ghosts, controlling the entire underworld, would I stoop to doing such despicable things? It's just a lightning bolt, you treasure it so much, even if you give it to me for free, I don't want it. My underworld has plenty of good things!"
"Hmph!" Leigong coldly laughed twice, but didn't respond. He simply turned his head to Leng Binghan and said: "It's also possible that I'm being overly cautious, that's all I'll say, you think about it yourself."
Leng Bing Han originally thought it was no big deal and was about to nod in agreement, but now that he's heard this, he suddenly feels suspicious. Looking at Yan Luo Wang's eyes, they seem different. Although he thinks that with Yan Luo Wang's identity and status, it shouldn't be possible for him to do something so deceitful, what if there's an exception? Wouldn't he just end up being disappointed and suffering a huge loss...
From the icy gaze, Yanluo Wang understood the meaning. Almost furious to the point of liver and gallbladder bursting. However, it was not directed at Leng Binghan, but rather Leigong. In his heart, he cursed: You're good, Leigong! Not just letting you release a lightning bolt? This is how you frame me with malicious slander? No wonder you had to come over personally, I thought you wanted to take advantage of the situation to sell your personal feelings, but it turns out you were plotting this, this is too sinister and vicious.
This kind of conspiracy is very despicable, but it's also very easy to take effect. But how can I refute Lei Gong's fallacy and make Leng Bingxin believe in myself?
Yan Luo Wang thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and took out a ring. "This is the Mingyu Ring, which I condensed from the cold aura of the Yellow Spring Road over 50,000 years and refined over 3,000 years using the ice crystals of the underworld. Its internal volume reaches 100,000 cubic meters. Since it's made entirely from the ice crystals of the underworld, it belongs to the same elemental category as the materials in the reincarnation path, and I'm the one who refined and used it, so it won't be rejected. This time, I'll stake everything on this - I'll lend it to you for now. You can use it to store the electric thunderbolt, then take it with you when you're reborn. After your rebirth, find an opportunity to summon the Mingyu Ring from your soul, and you can retrieve the electric thunderbolt. It's very convenient to use."
After that, he took out a drop of blood from behind his ear and printed it on the cold forehead, saying: "Now you have my breath in your body, so you can use this Mingyao seal! When you are reborn, take out the electric thunder flash and return it to me!"
"Is it true or false?" Leng Bing was almost unbelievable, he had already been satisfied with the compensation, and he hadn't even thought that he could get such a precious Xumi ring. This is a Xumi ring, and it's one that Yanluo Wang himself refined and used. Can it be an ordinary thing? 100,000 cubic meters, that's a huge space of 100x100x10, how many things can fit in it? With this thing, it's like having a mobile warehouse with you at all times, anything can be carried around, it's just too convenient. Although it's only temporary, he's already very satisfied.
It was as if he were in a dream, until King Yanluo handed the Mingyu Seal to Leng Binghan's hands, that he suddenly woke up.
The ring feels a bit heavy in hand, cold and chilly. Is this the legendary Somi Ring? It looks ordinary, but how do I use it?
As soon as I thought of this, a huge space suddenly appeared in my cold and icy consciousness, with some things floating sparsely inside, including scroll-like, stone-like, branch-like objects, and many other strange and weird things.
So this is the Xumi space? It's just a small thing, but it has such a huge independent space. I've seen many in some fantasy novels, but none of them are as mysterious, profound and shocking as experiencing it myself.
But how can he take things out and put them back? As soon as the idea occurred to him, the thing he thought of in the Mustard Seed Space immediately appeared in his hand. When the idea came up again, it was put back, isn't that wonderful? He took it out for a while, then put it back, playing happily.
It wasn't until much later that he remembered that Yanluo Wang and Leigong Dianmu were still beside him, and his behavior was really unreasonable.
He immediately put away the Mingyu Seal, apologized to the three of them repeatedly, and sincerely thanked Yanluo Wang. No matter what reason Yanluo Wang had for helping him, he was still willing to lend him his precious Xumi Seal, which was worth his gratitude.
With Bai Wuchang's blessing, Yanluo Wang and the Thunder God couple sent Leng Bingxue to the Reincarnation Platform together.
Rebirth Platform is a platform, in fact, it's just a huge room, but not a big hall. There are six large doors around the four sides, corresponding to the six paths of reincarnation: Hell Path, Animal Path, Ghost Path, Human Path, Asura Path and Heaven Path. It is said that behind each door lies a long corridor, all called the Rebirth Corridor, where souls enter and will be automatically reborn into the corresponding place for transmigration.
Everything has come to an end, and Leng Bing Han can finally embark on his path of rebirth. He is filled with joy and anticipation for the beautiful new life that is about to begin. As he watches Leng Bing Han's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Lei Gong rubs his nose and asks Yan Luo Wang, "You spent so much capital, aren't you afraid of making a mistake and ending up in a bad deal?"
The Electric Mother smiled lightly and said, "When have you ever seen Yanluo Wang make a loss in business?"
Yan Luo Wang sighed bitterly: "Who said there wasn't? This time, we've lost big. If it weren't for helping your descendants escape the disaster and finding Leng Bing Han to take our place, how could we have gotten into such a huge mess?"
Lei Gong hastily explained, "Heaven and earth as my witness, although I asked you to help change the fate of my descendants and avoid his death in the earthquake, but I never asked you to find Leng Bing Han to replace him! This is not something that can be said casually, if he were to hear it, wouldn't he grind my bones into ashes?"
"Heh heh, didn't you doubt that Leng Bing Han was the descendant of his elderly self?" Yan Luo Wang asked with some complacency.
"I didn't say that, I just couldn't be sure, that's why I'm asking you!" Leigong said discontentedly, glaring at Yanluo Wang and muttering.
Yan Luo Wang sneered: "It's all hearsay that Leigong relies on Dianmu, without Dianmu he is nothing. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems your insight is indeed inferior to Dianmu!"
"What's going on?" Leigong said, bewildered. Weren't we just talking about the cold and icy, how did it suddenly turn to this?
The Electric Mother Dan's eyes flickered lightly, and she glanced at Leigong with a smile: "Look, you're usually so restless and impatient, and no matter what I say, you never listen. Now it's finally happened, after being with Cold Ice Han for so long, you haven't even noticed that he has a faint but special scent on him, which is very similar to the scent of those who have entered the River Luo Dry Kun."
"Similar? That also means it may not be?" Lei Gong furrowed his brow and said.
The electric mother sighed and said, "It's already very good that it's similar. This flavor is unique, and apart from the rumored flavor, there's nothing closer. Moreover, being able to prevent the underworld from summoning souls, even if King Yanluo himself came out, would be powerless against this great divine power. Even if it wasn't him, it must be someone we can't afford to provoke. Our move of mending the fold after the sheep has escaped can make up for some of our mistakes and express our sincerity."
Yan Luo Wang also said: "Dian Mu's thoughts are indeed meticulous, and I was thinking the same way. Otherwise, why would I make such a decision and let you guys laugh at me? I really didn't expect that he still had direct descendants left behind. If it wasn't for this ghostly errand leading to his soul, I would have been surprised. After conducting a large-scale investigation, I finally got some vague idea."
"He must have held the Cold Ice and Frost in high esteem, or else he would have directly taken it away or given a casual order, who would have dared to harbor such thoughts. He actually directly placed his soul into the River of Heaven and Earth, it's simply enviable. How come we don't have that kind of good fortune?"
Lei Gong complimented: "Yan Luo Wang is indeed Yan Luo Wang, doing things with great attention to detail and grandeur. At the time, I didn't quite believe you when you said it, but for such a small possibility, we had to give up our precious treasure, Electric Thunder Flash. I was reluctant to part with it, thanks to your persuasion and Madame's decisiveness."
"Of course," the Electric Mother chimed in, "Yanluo Wang is a man of great experience and wealth, we can't even bear to part with a single lightning bolt, but Yanluo Wang? Not only did he send a large pile of gifts, but also the rare and precious Xuanming Frost, and arranged for rebirth, and even gave away his own original blood and the Susi Mantra Bead. That one drop of original blood must have cost him at least hundreds of years of cultivation, how can we compare to that? I'm sure he will leave a very good impression on the old man, and who knows, maybe even gain his favor. Don't forget about us, husband and wife, when the time comes!"
Listening to their half-flattering, half-veiled words, Yanluo Wang smiled wryly and said: "Where is that the case? If Xumi Jiezhi wasn't squeezed out by you, how could I bear to lend it out? If I don't lend out Xumi Jiezhi, why would I suffer losses of original blood?"
"Borrow? When will you return it?" Lei Gong said, clearly disbelieving.
"Hmm, you mind your own business, I'll pay it back when the time comes!"
"Cut, lend out must be cautious, don't take out things from inside, still have to do favors together, can't cover up the truth."
"It's my stuff, I love it however I want, what business is it of yours?"
"You should thank me instead, I found you such a great opportunity, but you have to treat me to dinner..."
Just as they were arguing, at the top of the Jade Void Nine Heavens in the divine realm, a majestic deity lightly opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Hehe, not bad, they're quite perceptive! I won't bother them for now. Cold Ice, since we have this opportunity, I'll help you one more time. Haha, let's see how you'll perform in the future, I'm really looking forward to it..."
