Upon hearing the Jade Emperor's words, Fang Xiu frowned instantly. Resurrected before the invasion from the other side, after a deep descent into the mortal realm? Wasn't that before he transformed into a dragon ten thousand miles away?!
The problem is, no gods or immortals were resurrected at that time!
The arrangements on Kunlun Mountain were flawless and perfectly prepared. In the distant future, no one would damage the tombs of immortals and gods; this was all witnessed by myself in later generations.
The array within the coffin doesn't even require anyone to oversee it; it simply awaits the return of the reincarnated immortals.
So where exactly did things go wrong?
Suddenly, a figure flashed through Fang Xiu's mind.
Yama!
In later generations, the one who controlled the seals of the underworld was Yama! He was the ruler of the Nine Provinces in later generations, and he cultivated the Way of Death!
Could it be that Yama has not opened the seal of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array on the Yin side, which is why the immortals and gods have been unable to reincarnate for so long?
Just then, a familiar spacetime fluctuation appeared, and Fang Xiu suddenly found himself enveloped by a spacetime vortex, about to leave the current timeline again.
The three trials of the Kunlun Mirror have ended; perhaps this time it will be its return.
The surrounding sounds and images began to recede infinitely, and his body was about to become disconnected from the current timeline.
Taking advantage of this last gap, Fang Xiu said to the Jade Emperor, "You can choose the person yourself, but it cannot be Yama."
The Jade Emperor looked thoughtful and was about to ask for the reason when Fang Xiu's figure was swallowed up by the space-time vortex and disappeared without a trace.
This was Fang Xiu's attempt to change history. He wanted to make some different changes instead of completely following the original trajectory of history, otherwise he would probably never be able to break the so-called cycle.
Yama, the King of Hell, does not yet exist in the current timeline. Yama and the other gods of the Nine Provinces will acquire their divine status and become gods in the future.
After Fang Xiu left, the Jade Emperor summoned the Emperor of Fengdu and relayed Fang Xiu's words to him.
The Emperor of Fengdu was slightly taken aback. He couldn't give it to Yama? Which of the Ten Kings of Hell was it that he couldn't give it to?
In his mind, the best candidate to take charge of the seal of the underworld was naturally the Ten Kings of Hell. They were originally from the underworld, very familiar with the situation there, and their cultivation path was most suitable for the underworld.
The most crucial factor is having the right strength, being in a position that is neither too strong nor too weak. If one is too strong, one will definitely have to go to the underworld to restrain the demon gods, since there are more demon gods than in the heavenly court, so the more people going to the underworld, the better.
The Ten Kings of Hell were barely able to restrain the demon god, but they were enough to keep order in the Nine Provinces. Therefore, he planned to leave one King of Hell to guard the seal, while the other nine would go to the Underworld together.
But now, Fang Xiu's last words disrupted his plans. He knew Fang Xiu's importance and that he came from the future, so there must be a deeper meaning behind his words.
Why can't it be handed over to Yama? This suggests that Yama might do something detrimental to the plan in the future, or even betray it.
Therefore, the Emperor of Fengdu decided to adopt Fang Xiu's suggestion, not to give control of the seal of the underworld to any of the Ten Kings of Hell, and to bring all of the Ten Kings of Hell to the underworld.
They gave Yama no chance to cause trouble.
Since Yama could not control the seal of the underworld, the Emperor of Fengdu had no choice but to settle for second best and select from the lineage of judges.
"Judge Cui, this Death Godhead contains the key to unlocking the seal of the Underworld. It is now entrusted to you for safekeeping. You are the strongest among all the judges, and you are a person who hates evil and has great ambitions. I believe you can shoulder this important task."
The Emperor of Fengdu addressed a middle-aged man dressed in a red robe, holding the Book of Life and Death in his left hand and the Soul-Hooking Pen in his right, exuding an air of authority and righteousness.
He did not tell Judge Cui what Fang Xiu had said before leaving, because there was no need, since all ten Yama Kings would be going to the underworld and there would be no more Yama Kings in the world.
The middle-aged man solemnly accepted the Death Godhead, feeling as if he were carrying a heavy burden, but even more so, he felt the recognition from the Emperor of Fengdu!
He worked diligently in the underworld, starting as a lowly ghost messenger and rising step by step to the position of judge. His biggest dream was to become one of the Ten Kings of Hell and realize his ambitions in the underworld!
Unexpectedly, he was not appointed as the King of Hell, but was instead given even greater responsibilities. This excited him, and he was so eager to do his best. He secretly vowed to make a name for himself and live up to the expectations of the Emperor of Fengdu!
Later, after the immortals and demons perished together in the underworld, Judge Cui indeed kept his vow and diligently protected the Nine Provinces, always taking the lead and personally handling everything, preventing the other side from invading even a little.
Whenever a surviving demon god attacks, such as angels or the god of happiness, he is always at the forefront.
Years later, he won the approval of a group of heavenly soldiers and generals, ghostly soldiers and generals, and even the people of the Nine Provinces. They believed that with Judge Cui's achievements and his control over the important land of the Nine Provinces, it was really inappropriate to still call him Judge.
So some of the ghost soldiers and generals who followed him secretly called him the Son of the Underworld. As the name spread, more and more people called him that.
Unexpectedly, Judge Cui was furious when he found out. He said that in his heart there was only one King of the Underworld, the Emperor of Fengdu, even though the Emperor of Fengdu had been dead for many years.
His noble character once again won the approval of the people. Not wanting to go against his wishes, they settled for the second best and called him Yama.
In order to live up to the support of the people and his own ambitions, Cui Yanluo planned to accomplish something great.
Therefore, he resolutely sent troops to the other side, determined to open up another province for the Nine Provinces!
And then... he died on the other side.
......
......
On the other side, two figures were fleeing in a sorry state: a young man and a middle-aged man.
The young man had a cold face and was surrounded by a chilling aura. He was dressed in a robe of a hundred ghosts. The middle-aged man was dressed in a red robe and held the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen. He was none other than the former Judge Cui, now the King of Hell Cui.
The young man was his disciple.
Severely injured and covered in blood, the two desperately fled towards Kyushu. Not far behind them, eerie chants, laughter of young girls, and even the sound of chanting sutras could be heard.
Cui Yanluo used a secret technique, a flash of blood light instantly enveloped the two of them, and teleported them tens of thousands of miles away, shaking off their pursuers.
However, Cui Yanluo was also exhausted and collapsed to the ground.
"We have escaped the pursuit of those demon gods, Shuo Xie, help your master up."
Cui Yanluo extended his hand to the young man named Shuo Xie, but Shuo Xie did not respond and just looked at him coldly.
