After failing her tribulation, the Grand Elder of the Xuan Sect reincarnated as a little village girl in a remote area! Her father was dead, and her mother was remarrying!
Her stepfather was ...
Ye Xianya and the disciples of Taiyi Sect rushed to Qingzhou yesterday to help control the plague. Although they were quite successful and brought the epidemic under control, those who were seriously ill and about to die had their own fate, and Ye Xianya would not defy fate for them.
Many people have died in the last two days, but this will not happen again.
This time, the River of Naihe was very calm, and the Northern Map did not appear.
Ye Xianya had originally planned to have a proper meeting with this Ghost King.
"How about... we take a trip to the underworld?" Qi Chengshuo said with a smile.
His daughter, Xianya, is not the type to suffer in silence.
Since the Northern Library attacked them last time, they naturally need to get revenge.
“If it’s just because of the Northern Library, then there’s no need. I’m not that stingy; there’s no need to make a special trip to the Underworld for that.” Ye Xianya shook her head.
“Then come with me to see King Yama. He is the only deity in the underworld who has been officially appointed by the Heavenly Court. I happen to have some questions for him,” Qi Chengshuo said softly.
Ye Xianya nodded upon hearing this.
The two of them stood guard by the Naihe River, waiting for the Yin and Yang to alternate, for the Yin energy to weaken and the Yang energy to gradually rise, at which point the Naihe River would disappear.
Ye Xianya and Qi Chengshuo took the opportunity to follow the vanished Naihe and enter the underworld.
The path from the human world to the underworld is unobstructed.
However, Ye Xianya and Qi Chengshuo are not ghosts, and they will be rejected and corrupted by yin energy if they enter the underworld.
However, the two were extremely powerful and had no fear of these things.
The King of Hell, who was cultivating, noticed something amiss. After leaving his cultivation room, he saw Qi Chengshuo and Ye Xianya standing in the main hall.
"Your subordinate pays respects to Your Majesty!" King Yama hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
"I have not regained my memories of my past life, nor have I returned to my divine position. You do not need to be so polite!" Qi Chengshuo raised his hand and said calmly.
But Yama, the King of Hell, dared not act rashly.
He was able to become the Lord of the Underworld because Qi Chengshuo bestowed the title upon him in his previous life.
He was Qi Chengshuo's confidant, which is why he was entrusted with the important task of taking charge of the underworld.
"Your Majesty, please take a seat!" Yama said respectfully.
Qi Chengshuo did not sit on his throne, but instead took Ye Xianya and sat on a chair to the side.
"I've come here today to ask about what happened in my past life." Qi Chengshuo paused slightly: "How much do you know?"
"Your Majesty, I am your confidant, and I know a great deal about what happened before Your Majesty's reincarnation!" Yama hurriedly replied.
"Then tell me in detail!" Qi Chengshuo said calmly.
"Yes!" King Yama nodded hurriedly: "The Emperor's surname is Yi, and his given name is Chengshuo. He is the eldest son of God King Yi Tian. The Emperor's mother is the goddess Lan Chenyin. She was originally God King's wife, but the two separated and had no further connection. The Emperor became the master of this world when he was young. Later, he cultivated to the peak of the God realm and is God King's most powerful son. God King has high hopes for him."
"A hundred years ago, the God-King obtained a supreme treasure in the Void. That treasure could help a peak-level god break through his realm and become a God-King."
The King of Hell paused slightly as he spoke: "The God King bestowed this item upon you, but... when the Second Prince Yi Chengfeng went out to train, he was seriously injured and his soul was about to dissipate. You then planned to use that treasure to save the Second Prince's life. In a fit of anger, the High God Lan Chenyin severely injured you with her divine sword. In order to save your life, you had no choice but to merge with that treasure and reincarnate to start cultivating again. In fact... you could have recovered from your injuries and slowly regained your strength without reincarnation, but that would have taken a thousand years. Reincarnation, on the other hand, would have taken only a few decades."
Upon hearing this, Qi Chengshuo turned to look at Ye Xianya beside him, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
It seems that his father was not as biased as Lan Chenyin said; that treasure had already been bestowed upon him.
"Since I'm willing to use this precious treasure to save Yi Chengfeng's life, it seems my relationship with this younger brother is quite good," Qi Chengshuo said.
"Yes!" King Yama nodded hurriedly: "Although the Emperor was born to the Goddess Lan Chenyin, he was raised by the Goddess Yunluo. The Goddess Lan Chenyin was focused on cultivation and had no time to attend to anything else. After you were born, many opportunities appeared in the Void Land. The Goddess Lan Chenyin accompanied the God King to venture into the Void Land. When they returned to the God Realm, a hundred years had passed, and you had grown up."
Qi Chengshuo's expression was somewhat complicated upon hearing this.
It turns out that in his past life, he was actually raised by Yunluo.
"You and the Goddess Yunluo's three sons are deeply devoted to each other. The God King has long told the gods that you will inherit his throne. Your three younger brothers have only average talent in cultivation. Only the Second Prince has barely broken through to the God Realm. Even if he obtains the supreme treasure, he will not be able to become the God King. That supreme treasure can only be used by a powerhouse at the peak of the God Realm to break through the boundary."
After listening, Qi Chengshuo suddenly frowned: "What realm is Lan Chenyin at?"
"My subordinates don't know the specifics either, but the only thing we can be sure of is that she hasn't reached the peak of the Upper God realm," Yama said.
"Also... although you and the goddess Lan Chenyin are mother and son, you are not close. You prefer to live with the God King and the goddess Yunluo," Yama said cautiously.
"Why did Yi Tian and Lan Chenyin separate? Was it because of Yun Luo?" Qi Chengshuo asked.
"No!" Yama shook his head: "This matter is not a secret in the Upper Realm. After the God King and the Goddess Lan Chenyin returned from the Void, they announced that they had separated and were no longer husband and wife. As for the reason, no one knows. However... there are many rumors in the God Realm. Many people say that when they encountered danger in the Void, Goddess Lan Chenyin abandoned the God King and fled alone."
"By then you had grown up and, under the tutelage of the Goddess Yunluo, had broken through to the realm of the Immortal. Several thousand years later... the God King married the Goddess Yunluo. After that, the Goddess Lan Chenyin became somewhat possessed by demons and often caused trouble on the divine mountain where the God King lived. Later, when you left the Great World and arrived in this realm, you brought her with you. I am not too clear about what happened after that, because I took charge of the Underworld of this realm according to your instructions."
The King of Hell told Qi Chengshuo everything he knew without hiding anything.
"Thank you!" Qi Chengshuo said, then grasped Ye Xianya's hand and prepared to leave.
"Respectfully seeing off the Emperor!" Yama hurriedly bowed.
He only breathed a sigh of relief after Qi Chengshuo and Ye Xianya disappeared from the main hall.
Although the Emperor's current strength is only one-tenth of what it was in his previous life, in the King of Hell's heart, the Emperor will always be unattainable.
Without the Emperor, he would not be who he is today.
Moreover, both the Emperor and the girl beside him possessed powerful auras; if the two joined forces, he definitely wouldn't be able to defeat them.
Of course, Yama never intended to betray his emperor.
"No wonder Lan Chenyin was filled with hatred. From her perspective, not only was her husband stolen, but her son was also stolen." After returning to the mortal realm, Ye Xianya couldn't help but shake her head.
In this light, Lan Chenyin is quite pitiful.
No matter how bad her situation was, she shouldn't have treated Qi Chengshuo like that.
