At this moment, the white-robed ghost opened his palm, and an agreement token appeared before him.
"Oh, the white-robed ghost has suddenly become enlightened? So thoughtful, he even got the consent form from that old man Yama for me in advance?"
Ah Niu whispered in my ear, "He is now the King of Hell."
Upon hearing this, I staggered. It seems I was blind. The position of King Yama is indeed quite suitable for this cold-faced ghost.
"What? This king rarely learns about human relationships, why is Miss Ahua unwilling to accept it?" The white-robed ghost asked in a serious but innocent manner.
I gave an awkward smile, but then I suddenly felt that something was amiss.
If I'm not mistaken, this husky's ability to accomplish a century's worth of merit in just five years, and to accurately know my missing score and help me ascend, must be the work of a celestial messenger deliberately concealing his identity. I have a feeling that this matter is also related to Wen Heng.
He said frankly, "I have heard that if an immortal works in the underworld, the merits he earns can be doubled, helping other soul immortals who are underrated to ascend to heaven as soon as possible."
But without the protection of the King of Hell, or anyone daring to cheat in this way to help others ascend to immortality.
Ah Niu, who was standing to the side, couldn't sit still any longer and quickly pulled me aside: "Grandma, you mustn't slander Yama with such words. The previous Yama was guilty of dereliction of duty, wrongly releasing the son of the Demon King, and even causing the Immortal Ling Yan to suffer damage to his soul during his tribulation, almost failing the tribulation. He also covered up the various sins of immortals ascending to heaven, disrupting the order of the underworld."
In the end, it was only after Wen Heng, the Heavenly God, returned to his body that he helped punish the scoundrel. Later, he promoted the white-robed ghost messenger, Ah Bai, to the position of King Yama. To be honest, it was actually Wen Heng, the Heavenly God, who accumulated merit on his own. King Yama, in gratitude for Wen Heng's help in restoring order to the underworld, specifically granted his request!
Ah Niu accidentally revealed everything.
"It really was Wen Heng's doing!" What exactly did he mean?
Under my coercion and persistent questioning, the white-robed ghost Yama said that out of respect for Wen Heng, he would make an exception and open the Time Mirror of the Three Lives Stone for me.
Let me find out the truth for myself.
Standing before the Time Mirror of the Three Lives Stone, I saw...
The story begins with the time when Wen Heng's appearance and soul merged with Ling Yan's soul and descended to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation.
In order to find out if Zhu Silang was Wen Heng, I performed a soul-summoning ritual for him. Later, A Niu came to tell me the truth: because the appearance and soul of the immortal Ling Yan were damaged during his tribulation, he combined Wen Heng's appearance and soul to descend to the mortal world to undergo tribulation together.
Unbeknownst to everyone, during that soul-summoning ceremony, Wen Heng's divine consciousness—Shenmo—met Wen Heng's face and soul, and at the same time, Wen Heng's vengeful spirit was also summoned back into Zhu Silang's body.
At the end of his final tribulation, Wen Heng's spirit of beauty and spirit of hatred merged and awakened. Even as Zhu Silang lay dying, he didn't forget to stab me with his sword, which shows how much Wen Heng's spirit of hatred hated me.
In the end, Ranmo took the sword for me. If it weren't for the appearance of the immortal Lingyan in his true form to stop it and discover Ranmo's existence, helping to restore his spiritual power, Ranmo and I would probably have been doomed.
Because Ling Yan's primordial spirit had just undergone tribulation and was not yet stable, he not only gave Zhu Silang the Soul-Slaying Sword, but also sent him to the Dream Realm.
As everyone knows, all souls must make a deal with the Dream Demon God before they can enter the Dream Realm to collect other souls. Wen Heng's soul, Zhu Silang, was the first to enter the Dream Realm, so he was the one to make the deal.
The key point is this deal. In fact, you could say that this Dream Demon God is a real scoundrel. In front of a powerful, hateful soul devoid of love, he asked if he was willing to send his true love to the Desolate Demon Land.
When Zhu Silang saw that the person he loved looked exactly like me, Ahua, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said with hatred, "I hate this woman more than anything, how could she be the one I love?"
Without hesitation, he agreed to the deal with the Dream God, thus forming a blood pact and entering the Dream Realm.
That day, I exhausted my primordial spirit and spiritual power to help Zhou Lang, Ran Mo, and Zhu Silang merge their souls, after which I fell into a coma.
I never expected that after our souls merged, he would lie by my bedside, holding my hand with eyes full of tenderness.
He frantically collected the spiritual power of the Dream Spirit Pearl to summon back the rest of his soul, all in order to take back his physical body from Ye Chen as soon as possible, return quickly, generate a letter of understanding, and help me break the curse of heavenly punishment so that I can ascend to heaven soon.
However, when he sensed that the only soul that had not returned was the one from his past life that Ye Ling'er had locked away in the border area between the Demon Wilderness and the Demon Realm, he realized that it was the day he had been trapped in his dream.
He stood quietly by the window in front of my bed, looking at me unconscious, feeling heartbroken and wanting to get closer but not daring to approach.
I thought that by deliberately pretending not to care and intentionally distancing myself from any interaction with me, they would prevent me from getting involved.
But things are unpredictable, and I will track him to the formation set up by Ye Ling'er.
Wen Heng knew that I and Ye Ling'er were born from the same root, and that as long as I devoured her, she would disappear. Little did he know that Ye Ling'er, who had already been cursed by the Dream Demon God, was a spiritual root that the Dream Demon God had separated from my spiritual root.
It was also a trap set by the Dream Demon.
As the incarnation of a spiritual herb, my spiritual roots are intertwined with Ye Ling'er's, and we are bound together by life and death.
I was repelled by the demonic energy of Ye Ling'er, who had cast a spell on me, and after arriving in the Desolate Demon Land, I was tormented and mentally disoriented every day.
“Ahua, I’m here, you’ll be alright, I’m here…” In the early days after I arrived in the Desolate Demon Land, I would suffer terribly every night. Wen Heng would hold me tightly in his arms and murmur comforting words while channeling spiritual energy into me.
During the day, he had to pretend to be distant from me, for fear that Ye Ling'er would find out, because this was a deal between him and Ye Ling'er...
It was a tribulation I went through.
The only way to separate Ye Ling'er from me and leave this place is to follow the Dream Demon God's request and use his spiritual power to help Ye Ling'er and me grow the Fairy Flower at the core of the Demon Realm's array.
Then, after merging with me and giving birth to a celestial soul embryo, and replacing my spiritual heart, it was able to open the barrier and leave this place.
However, this requires Ye Ling'er's cooperation to complete the soul grafting and replacement.
Therefore, Wen Heng's constant support for Ye Ling'er was all to cater to Ye Ling'er's deal.
Because Ye Ling'er and the Immortal Soul Embryo are souls without physical bodies, and have been cursed by the Dream Demon God, once they take root, sprout, and blossom in the Desolate Demon Land, the so-called soul embryo replacement can only help me leave this place.
It would not be of any use to Ye Ling'er; on the contrary, she would be reduced to ashes the moment she left the Desolate Demon Land.
The reason why Ye Ling'er cooperated with Wen Heng to replace me with the Immortal Soul Embryo was because this child, like her, was also a soul without a physical body. By uniting with her from the same root, they could not only move freely in the Desolate Demon Land, but also extend her lifespan in this place by a hundred years.
However, what shocked me even more was the story about how the uncle's spiritual power was absorbed by Wen Heng and how I accidentally killed him.
