Although the ascension celebration had ended, the banquet was just beginning to reach its climax.
The ghost generals and ghost kings from the Ghost Clan are drinking and chatting with the delivery ghosts, who are high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Court.
Suddenly, a passage appeared in the sky, and Xia Tianqiong flew back immediately afterward.
The entire city fell silent, everyone staring at the figure with wide eyes filled with confusion.
"The upper realm isn't fun, so I plan to stay in the lower realm. You guys keep drinking, don't worry about me."
Xia Tianqiong said something hastily, then teleported away, leaving behind a group of bewildered faces.
Aside from the ghost bride, even the delivery ghost was unaware of his plan.
A few days later.
Summer Qiong and the Ghost Bride were picking spirit fruits in the orchard on the Sky Island when Old Huo suddenly came to find him.
"After I left, they didn't give you any trouble, did they?"
"No, they wouldn't dare kill me, after all, I represent the Venerable One."
Old Huo's expression turned serious as he continued, "You shouldn't have killed the Dream God back then. Even if you did, there was no need to devour his true spirit as well. He was a disciple of another Venerable One, and because of his death, that Venerable One was enraged."
Xia Tianqiong raised an eyebrow. "He wanted to kill me, so isn't it only right that I kill him? Besides, he didn't give you any face, nor did he give face to the Venerable One behind you. He deserves to die."
Old Master Huo suddenly sighed, "The Venerable One behind me said the same thing: Hypnos ruined you, and you deserved to die. The Venerable One went to find another Venerable One about this, and they almost got into a fight."
"What happened in the end?"
"In the end, it was still our subordinates fighting each other. We've already fought several battles during this period, and both sides have suffered losses."
"Why send you to your deaths? Why don't the two Venerables just fight each other directly?"
"The Upper Realm has its own rules, and Venerable Ones rarely fight each other personally. If they did fight, who knows how many Lower Realms would be destroyed."
Old Huo smiled helplessly, and then explained why he had come to see him.
"His Majesty said that Jun Shisan's method of reincarnation can indeed help repair the damage to your true spirit, allowing you to recuperate in the lower realm with peace of mind. Strive to reach your previous strength as soon as possible, and if possible, continue to improve, preferably even stronger than before."
Xia Tianqiong tentatively asked, "This might take many years. I remember it took Jun Shisan hundreds of thousands of years to reach the so-called strongest ghost god."
Old Huo shook his head, "Your situation is different. You still retain most of your strength, so it should only take tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years."
"That's true. It seems I won't be able to go to the Upper Realm for over ten thousand years. What a pity!"
Xia Tianqiong looked dejected.
After chatting for a while, Mr. Huo finally left.
After seeing off Elder Huo, Xia Tianqiong and the Ghost Bride exchanged a glance and smiled silently.
This matter is now considered closed, and I can now stay in the mortal realm in peace.
For at least 100,000 years, the upper realm will not urge him.
During this time, he can continue to improve his strength and try to advance to the Venerable level.
In fact, Xia Tianqiong's true spirit was torn off by himself during the previous battle, and it could be reattached at any time.
However, in order to remain in the lower realm in the future, he sealed half of his true spirit and soul in the card.
In this way, he would only have the strength of a demigod and would not be rejected by heaven and earth.
If needed, it can be unsealed at any time, restoring the strongest demon god at any time.
The ghost bride, carrying a bamboo basket, was picking spirit peaches when she casually asked, "Does my lord really intend to use the reincarnation method like Jun Shisan?"
Xia Tianqiong took a peach from the basket and ate it without washing it.
“Of course we should use it, otherwise the upper realm will become suspicious. However, Jun Shisan’s method is too slow, and there’s a possibility that it could be devoured by someone else. I plan to make some adjustments to make it safer and more humane.”
The ghost bride turned her head and looked over. "Isn't my husband planning to collect the power of faith and try to advance to the Venerable Realm? Won't this cause a conflict?"
"No, we can do both things at the same time."
When Xia Tianqiong killed the Dream God, he absorbed the Dream God's consciousness and true spirit into his body, but he did not devour it at the time.
Upon returning, examine the memories within the other person's consciousness to learn more about the Venerable One.
Of the three methods mentioned by the Dream God, the first is to collect the faith power of trillions of living beings. This "trillions" is just an adjective, not a quantifier.
It means a great many, but even the God of Dreams doesn't know the exact number.
As for the power of faith, because everyone's level of faith is different, the power of faith generated is also different.
Therefore, quality and quantity are equally important.
Xia Tianqiong turned the human world into a strange realm, and everyone thanked him. The strange power that arose in him was the power of faith.
In other words, he already had a certain foundation.
But faith from just one human world is far from enough; he must continue collecting.
This is what he's going to do next.
...
Time flows like water, and a thousand years pass in the blink of an eye.
A thousand years is but a drop in the ocean, insignificant to the realm of the supernatural.
But the changes in the realm of the supernatural are like the transformation of the sea into mulberry fields, ever-changing.
What was once a desolate wasteland is now a landscape of fertile fields and numerous villages and towns.
Every ten thousand miles there is a super-large city.
The city is mostly eerie, but occasionally human figures can be seen.
Humans mainly come to the Ghost Realm for tourism and sightseeing.
At this moment, in a certain city, hundreds of human women are sightseeing.
"Stay close and don't fall behind. Although the security in the Ghost Realm is very good now, there are still some low-level ghosts that can't control their instincts and will attack lone humans."
Empress Tianmeng stood on a flying sword, holding a red tour guide flag in her hand, followed by more than a hundred women dressed in tight-fitting clothes.
They looked around, curious about all the strange things happening on the road.
