Chapter 658: Imprisoned King Yama



This old man, is he the King of Hell?!

Lin Chong was immediately shocked.

There was also an uproar in Room 704.

Finally, I met a famous god from Journey to the West.

704 was busy calling up the information about King Yama: King Yama is the lord of the fifth hall in the underworld. He is accompanied by the Black and White Impermanence, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Gods, and other gods. Although he is the lord of the fifth hall, according to folk legend, he is actually the lord of the entire underworld.

Here we should also talk about the character of Dongyue Emperor. Some legends say that he and Yama King are two different people, while others say that they are one person. 704 tends to believe that Yama King is the incarnation of Dongyue Emperor, while Dongyue Emperor is the lord of the underworld.

He made a small appearance in Journey to the West, where he was forced by Sun Wukong to revise the Book of Life and Death. He was very weak.

But from the perspective of a priest, he shouldn't be that weak.

"Please slow down, slow down... Huh?" Lin Chong was thinking about asking the old King Yama to stop being so excited, but when he supported the King Yama, he suddenly felt that the space around him suddenly became much narrower, as if it was compressed.

"What's going on?" Lin Chong pointed at the wall in surprise.

"No, no, no, I understand, I understand!" King Yama shouted in confusion.

While shouting, he turned around, propped up the table, picked up the pen and paper, sat upright on the chair, and started writing again. As he started writing, the contraction of the space suddenly stopped, but it did not expand outwards anymore, but maintained a narrow space of about eight or nine square meters.

It was half smaller than before. The distance between Lin Chong and the table was less than half, and he could even clearly see the age spots on King Yama's face.

This doesn't look like the legendary god at all. Look at his mental state, he looks like an old man abandoned by his children in a nursing home.

"Lord Yama...what's wrong with you?" Lin Chong asked cautiously.

Obviously, once the space is compressed to its limit, nothing good will happen. It is highly likely that King Yama and Lin Chong, the mechanical substitute, will die without a burial place.

What keeps this space going is probably the writing action of King Yama.

King Yama looked up at Lin Chong, panting, and didn't have time to say anything. Lin Chong glanced at what he wrote... Well, the title should be... Well, I can't understand it. It's Ghost Face Divine Writing, and the content is of course also Ghost Face Divine Writing. Lin Chong can't understand it.

“Don’t look!” King Yama shouted, covering his writing in a hurry. “Are you crazy to dare to read the divine writings of another world?”

You dare to write, why can't I read it... Lin Chong originally planned to secretly activate the camera function of this substitute and take two images for record.

But then the King of Hell said: "All the living souls who read this book of dead souls will become dead souls!"

Ah...Lin Chong gave up on starting the photo function.

"Then Lord Yama, did you write this divine text in order to maintain this space?" Lin Chong asked again.

"This is the divine duty he gave me." King Yama said as he wrote, his tone was sad, and he no longer called himself 'this king', but simply said, "I have to write a complete book of dead souls before I can perform my duties to him, but the book of dead souls is endless, because there are always new dead souls being created. As long as I slack off, this realm will shrink.

Originally, this king resided above the six realms of reincarnation, in the palace of Yama, in a realm that was boundless and vast. But now, only this small place with candles is left, and even this small place with candles is difficult to maintain.

The day of my death is right before my eyes."

King Yama sighed and shed tears, but he continued to write.

"Who is he?" Lin Chong asked hurriedly, "Who is the person who imprisoned you here?"

"This is not imprisonment, but a divine position." King Yama shook his head. "Who is he? You are in this world, don't you know him? When he was born, a piece of heaven was torn apart. Billions of dead souls called him the Lord of Death. He lives in the Heaven of Dead Souls and controls all the dead in the heavens and myriad worlds... I don't know how you call him now."

That’s a bit much information.

Lin Chong frowned and stroked it slowly with 704.

Is the Heaven of Dead Souls one of the twenty-four heavens?

Judging from what King Yama meant, it should be so.

Is the Lord of Death the Supreme Being in the Heaven of Dead Souls?

Maybe.

So what King Yama described was the formation process of the heavens?

What is the so-called "breaking out of history"?

Why can the Lord of Death command the King of Hell and give him such a job that is full of endless torture and certain death?

"Why can the Supreme Lord give orders to you? Aren't you the King of Hell? You are the master of the underworld, right?" Lin Chong asked directly.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

This question made King Yama's eyes light up in surprise. He looked at Lin Chong in surprise: "Where are you from? You know my title, but you don't know the name of the heavens? Could it be that after the heavens split, there is still another world with the official history of the past? Which world did you come from?"

"Your guess may be correct," said Lin Chong.

Now the expert think tank of 704 is meeting, and almost everyone has a small light bulb over their head. They keep coming up with new guesses, which are gathered together. Then 704 will pick out the more reliable ones and pass them on to Lin Chong.

'King Yama should be the representative of the old gods. The title of old gods should mean being replaced.

Who will replace them? We will temporarily call them the new gods. The new gods are the current supreme gods in the heavens, such as the Lord of Demons, the Lord of Life, and the Lord of Dead Souls.

You must know that the most powerful means of the Supremes, including you, is to cleanse the past and write history, so the names of the old gods have most likely been cleared out in the Twenty-Four Heavens.

That's why no one remembers King Yama's honorific name, and that's why he gets so excited when he hears you call him 'Yama' when he first sees you.

Okay, now the question is, why can the Supremes command the Old Gods?

According to what King Yama said, he could not disobey the order of the Supreme, and the Supreme in that world gave him such a priesthood, which was obviously intended to consume him to death.

You know, in the mythological background, King Yama only obeys the orders of the Jade Emperor... So, could it be that the Jade Emperor was dethroned?

That's not right either. It's impossible that all the twenty-four gods could have seized the throne of the Jade Emperor. Ask him, who was the predecessor of the Lord of Death?

Then tell him that it’s not just you, but the whole world, that remembers his divine name, and asks if there is any way to save him.

After all, our enemy may be the highest in the heavens, and the enemy of our enemy is our friend.

If we can find a way to gather the old gods, we may also gain a group of potential allies in our next conquest of the Heaven of Life.'

704 finished the long string of intellectual support.

Lin Chong said to King Yama in a serious tone, "You existed in our history. Not only do I remember your name, but six billion people also remember you. So, can I rescue you? But first you have to tell me who the Lord of Dead Souls is, where did he come from, and why does he have the supreme authority?"

"Ah..." King Yama was stunned, but he did not forget to write. However, when he tried to dip the pen in ink, he found that there was no ink at all, not even a drop.
