Chapter 497 Liu Chengzhi's True Identity
What can Wei Huan say?
This "fat kid" is crying, so of course he needs to be comforted.
He held onto the fat man's soul tightly, wiped the tears from his face, looked at the sobbing man, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't cry, I will arrange everything for you after reincarnation. I will temporarily collect your memories to prevent you from being lazy and greedy and not practicing well. When you become a god, time will have no meaning."
Liu Chengzhi pouted: "Can't I be by your side?"
"Wait until you become a god."
"Actually, I'm quite happy being a nobody. As long as I can be with the boss, I'm satisfied."
"Don't talk nonsense. You can't come back unless you become a god."
"But what if I don't have talent? What if I can't become a god?"
"Then we'll see each other in the next life."
"Wow! Boss, you're so cruel! I don't want it! How about you turn me into a necromancer, your summoned undead, and let me accompany you!"
"I don't want to raise lazy and greedy summons. Be a good human being."
"But I don't want to lose my memory. I don't want to forget the boss, forget Boss Mu, forget Brother Qiang, forget Dou Lin, woo woo woo..."
Wei Huan felt that all his sadness was in vain. Could it be that this guy was the "Salted Fish God" in his previous life? Even after his death, he still didn't want to practice, but just wanted to lie down and hug his thighs.
Unable to bear this guy's noise, Wei Huan grabbed his wrist and threw him behind him, throwing him directly into the cycle of reincarnation.
“Ahhhhh, Boss—”
The screams stopped abruptly and the world became quiet.
Wei Huan turned around and looked at everyone. Amidst their stunned gazes, he regained his leadership and said, "I'll take care of Liu Chengzhi's affairs. You all can disperse. Xu Qingqiang, Dou Lin and I will come."
After saying that, Wei Huan extended his hand to Mu Zhong again: "Let's go back to the temple."
The Gate of Death that led the undead was transformed into a passage into the void. Amidst the thick fog, it slowly closed and completely disappeared.
After respectfully seeing them off, everyone stood up and looked at Liu Chengzhi, who was lying on the bed and had already died. They could not feel any sadness at all.
Xia Yu covered her face and instructed the people around her, "Bury Mr. Liu according to the previous arrangements."
However, these challengers whose strength was only at level nine, or even lower than level nine, did not see Liu Chengzhi's soul being dragged away. They could not even detect Wei Huan's existence. If it were not for the reaction of the gods, they would not have known that the human leader had been here.
When burying Liu Chengzhi's body, he couldn't help but shed some tears.
But the gods who witnessed this scene could not cry at all, and even felt that it was quite good.
By discarding this weak, sick and untalented body and reincarnating into another life, he is destined to be rich and noble in the next life, and perhaps his final achievements will be higher than theirs.
So what's there to be sad about?
Let’s all go wash up and go home.
Although Liu Chengzhi's farewell and burial were held grandly, some small rumors spread because Wei Huan and others did not attend.
This is inevitable. Even if Wei Huan and others have reached the level of dominance, human nature is like this, unless they are a group life like a swarm of insects.
But the reason why human beings are so powerful and can become strong in such a short period of time is precisely because every person is himself and has his own brilliance.
Therefore, even though Wei Huan could listen to some rumors that were spread behind the scenes, he did not deal with them.
At this moment, he was in his own temple, surrounded by Mu Zhong, Xu Qingqiang and Dou Lin who came back with him.
I thought Wei Huan called them to talk about the upcoming war, but Wei Huan summoned Liu Chengzhi's soul again.
Then Wei Huan looked at the three of them and asked, "Did you find anything?"
After Liu Chengzhi was thrown into reincarnation by Wei Huan, all his memories were taken away by Wei Huan. At this moment, he was like a newborn baby, falling into a long sleep, waiting for the arrival of a new life after experiencing reincarnation.
In a sense, Liu Chengzhi is no longer there at this moment.
Although Mu Zhong and others were not uncomfortable, they were also lamenting the impermanence of life and that they would never be able to escape the cycle of reincarnation unless they became gods.
Even if one becomes a god, it is difficult to survive the "era catastrophe". Life is limited, and only the emperor in the world can successfully survive the catastrophe. Even the overlord has to rely on the emperor's protection to successfully enter the next era.
Their complicated feelings are precisely because it is the law of reincarnation that even gods cannot escape.
Looking at Liu Chengzhi's soul, all the past events came to mind. Starting from the encounter in the secondary world, they had a thousand-year-old bond.
Fortunately, Wei Huan is in charge of the cycle of death, so this thousand-year-old fate can obviously continue.
"What are you planning to do..." Mu Zhong was about to ask Wei Huan about his arrangements for Liu Chengzhi, when suddenly the corner of his eye flashed, as if a strong light was shining on his iris. He turned his head in surprise and saw the strong light on Liu Chengzhi's soul fade away.
Xu Qingqiang and Dou Lin also noticed it and asked in surprise, "What's going on?"
Wei Huan looked into Liu Chengzhi's soul and said, "This is why I called you here."
It was at this time that the strong light on Liu Chengzhi's soul faded, and his soul returned to its dim state again, just like most ordinary souls, or even a little dimmer.
As we all know, brilliant souls are destined to shine. The souls of these few people here are the brightest among the billions of creatures. Therefore, they are not only talented and have high achievements, but the key is that as they gradually succeed, they will attract more energy to make their souls brighter.
Just like lucky people, more luck will come to them.
In addition, including Captain Xue, Brother Chui and others, because they have bright souls and gain more energy from Wei Huan and others, they eventually become gods and escape the cycle of mortal reincarnation.
On the contrary, the souls of those who died young, suffered from many illnesses, and were unlucky all have one thing in common: their souls are dim.
Looking at Liu Chengzhi's soul in this way now, you will find that his soul is much darker than that of normal people. This is very abnormal. With such a dark soul, it is reasonable to say that there is no possibility of even meeting them.
After all, after spending a thousand years together, even with the soul strength of several dominant-level masters, they were unable to nourish Liu Chengzhi's soul to the point of glowing, which shows how weak his soul was originally.
A soul that is too weak may not even be born and will die in the womb. However, Liu Chengzhi was not only born and raised safely, but also lived for a thousand years.
Looking at it this way, there was obviously something strange about Liu Chengzhi.
However, facing this phenomenon, Xu Qingqiang smiled: "I just know that birds of a feather flock together, and there are no real mortals around us.
We are born to respond to calamities, and the people around us are destined to be born to respond to calamities. Even if a few are different, they are definitely special.
Orange Juice has been with us for thousands of years, but he still looks lazy and greedy. The key is that he can no longer make any progress after reaching the realm level.
The resources we gave him could turn a pig into a pig god, but he could let himself die of old age.
I felt something was wrong a long time ago.”
After hearing what Xu Qingqiang said, Dou Lin finally understood why every time he saw Uncle Orange Juice, he felt anxious but also felt a sense of relaxation as he waited calmly.
Strictly speaking, Dou Lin was raised by Liu Chengzhi. While Liu Chengzhi was busy in the kitchen, Dou Lin would be in the cafeteria setting dishes and serving people. When he was young, Liu Chengzhi taught him everything from changing clothes and studying to the principles of dealing with people.
He and Liu Chengzhi were very close. After discovering that Liu Chengzhi was beginning to age noticeably, he became extremely anxious and took out his own cultivation resources and gave them to Liu Chengzhi.
It was probably because he was too concerned. It was not until Xu Qingqiang finished speaking at this moment that he suddenly realized that he had been feeling something was wrong.
"Brother Huan, can you see what's so strange about Brother Orange Juice?" Dou Lin asked expectantly.
Mu Zhong also nodded and said, "In fact, I have always had this strange feeling. Even my mother and Xixi have long since cultivated to the level of demigods, but Orange Juice has always been at the realm level beside us. Occasionally, I have thought about exploring the secrets of Orange Juice.
But three hundred years ago, the Lord of Darkness attacked us, and then I was on the verge of death. I only returned safely recently, but Orange Juice has already died of old age.
In fact, for a realm-level being, a lifespan of a thousand years seems a bit short. When I heard Orange Juice was dying, I was very surprised.
Xu Qingqiang said, "I did investigate, but unfortunately I only have the ability of a mid-level god, and I'm not good at soul-related things, so I didn't find any problems at all.
In addition, the boss is the one who controls reincarnation. For us, death is not the end, but a possibly better beginning.
Captain Xue's wife, Xiaoxue, was a reincarnation. She hadn't even reached the realm level before she came of age. So, I didn't take it seriously, and I didn't make a conscious effort to investigate.
It seems Orange Juice came with a secret and left with a secret. Now that I've discovered something strange, I have to figure it out."
Finally, after Xu Qingqiang finished speaking, the six eyes of the three people turned to Wei Huan.
Wei Huan nodded and said, "That's right. It wasn't until I came into contact with his soul that I realized something was wrong. Let's try it first. Using the characteristics of reincarnation, we can explore his past. Maybe we can get the answer."
After saying this, the phantoms of black and white lotuses appeared in Liu Chengzhi's soul. Liu Chengzhi seemed to be lying in the heart of the white lotus, and the black lotus was like a reflection in the water. On the back of the lotus, in the heart of the flower, there was also a reflection of Liu Chengzhi.
The black and white lotus slowly rotated, and Liu Chengzhi's reflection in the black lotus began to change, like an inverted reflection. His soul slowly shrank, turned into a child, then into a baby, and finally grew up suddenly and turned into an old man with a different appearance.
"Is this Orange Juice's previous life?"
After seeing this, Mu Zhong raised his hand and the river of time appeared at his feet. He tapped the surface of the river with his toes and fished out a mirror of time from the water.
The diamond-shaped mirror of time floated above Liu Chengzhi. As it rotated, the image of his previous life appeared in the mirror.
In his previous life, Liu Chengzhi was still a lucky man.
Born into a wealthy family, he lived a peaceful and smooth life and died at the age of 100 without any illness.
The lotus of reincarnation spins, another circle.
The mirror of time reflects Liu Chengzhi's past life.
He was born into a wealthy family and lived a peaceful and smooth life. He died at the age of 100 without any illness.
The lotus of reincarnation spins...
The mirror of time reflects...
Liu Chengzhi's previous life, the previous life, and the previous N lives were presented before everyone's eyes, revealing a strange "human-machine" quality.
He was born into a happy family, lived without illness or pain, and lived a safe and smooth life, all to the age of 100. However, his life was dull and he did nothing. It seemed as if he had only come to this world to enjoy a peaceful life, and any changes in the world had nothing to do with him.
Xu Qingqiang was the most sensitive to the question, "Besides, he has no wife, children, or descendants. He came naked and left naked. It looked like everything was planned. Could it be that person's doing?"
After saying this, Xu Qingqiang's eyes instantly sharpened, and there was a bit more scrutiny in his eyes when he looked at Liu Chengzhi.
It would be terrible if Heaven unknowingly placed a "chess piece" among them.
"Let's take a look first." Mu Zhong didn't want to rely on this little evidence to prove that there was something wrong with Liu Chengzhi. The relationship they had in the past would not lie. Even if Liu Chengzhi might really have a relationship with Tiandao, he had never done anything to let them down from beginning to end. Therefore, this matter still had to be investigated thoroughly.
In the end, if Liu Chengzhi had nothing to do with the Heavenly Dao, then everyone would be happy. If there was... we would have to confirm it again and again.
Because Liu Chengzhi's situation might be related to the Way of Heaven, the atmosphere suddenly became much more solemn and there was silence for a long time.
Finally, in the eighteenth life, Liu Chengzhi's soul no longer appeared in the Mirror of Time. There was only a thick white mist in the mirror, which did not change for a long time.
Xu Qingqiang asked nervously, "Is this the end?"
He didn't awaken any memories, so he could only ask: "Can anyone tell me what this means?"
Dou Lin's face was very tense, and he said, "This shows that he has no great merits and appeared out of thin air, but he has enjoyed wealth and honor for generations and died at the age of a hundred. It is obvious that this was deliberately arranged by some great existence.
If Brother Huan hadn't made such an arrangement, then when it comes to the reincarnation of the soul, only the Heavenly Dao has the ability to do so."
"So, it has been confirmed that it is the work of Heaven?" Xu Qingqiang frowned and lit a cigarette for himself. As he puffed out smoke, his brows were so tight that they could pinch a fly to death.
Mu Zhong said, "It's not time to draw conclusions yet."
He explained, "The cycle of reincarnation is still turning, and the time mirror is still running. This shows that Orange Juice's soul did not come from nothing. He has a previous life."
Dou Lin and Xu Qingqiang seemed to see hope, and their expressions gradually improved.
Dou Lin asked hesitantly, "So what is it like now?"
Mu Zhong said, "Trace back to the source. Wei Huan's reincarnation is still going on, and my time mirror can still trace back to the source. The soul's source goes straight to the end. Even if it is the handiwork of the heavens, with the combined power of the two of us, we can find the answer."
"How long will that take?"
Mu Zhong shook his head and said, "As long as the Reincarnation and Time Mirror are still functioning, it's a good thing. It means they have a source and didn't just appear out of thin air. Be patient and wait, there will be results."
This wait lasted for nearly half a month.
Therefore, these four people who had the closest relationship with Liu Chengzhi and were also the core leaders of the current human race were unable to attend Liu Chengzhi's funeral.
If they had not been stopped by this incident, even if they knew that Liu Chengzhi's soul had been reincarnated, they would still show up at the funeral and bid a complete farewell to Liu Chengzhi's life.
In the Temple of Death.
The power of death is pervasive all day long.
Non-death practitioners and gods cannot stay here at all, and the heaven and earth cut off the power of death. There are very few mortals who can cultivate the power of death. Therefore, the Temple of Death has become the most desired and feared place on Qiyuan Star.
It stands alone at the highest point of the temple complex.
Believers who travel to other temples will look at the Temple of Death on the highest mountain these days and feel the strong law of death coming from there.
Although these believers do not believe in the law of death, their worship of Wei Huan has never stopped, and they dare not forget for a moment that it is the existence of leader Wei Huan that supports the light of the human race.
Saluting from afar towards the Temple of Death, praying words of blessing to the leader of the human race, feeling the increasingly strong power of death, even covering the entire mountain.
This unprecedented situation surprised the leader of the believers and he asked the gods he could contact: "The leader is in the temple, but the situation in the temple is very unusual. Is there anything we need to do?"
The god who answered him was Captain Xue: "Don't worry, they are doing something very important."
After saying this, Captain Xue stood by the window and looked at the Temple of Death shrouded in black fog.
Already knowing everything, he prayed nervously in his heart, hoping for a good result.
At this moment, in the temple, Wei Huan and others were nervously waiting for the final result.
Just yesterday, the thick fog in the Mirror of Time finally changed. The white fog turned into gray, and now, after a day, the gray fog has turned into black fog.
Mu Zhong sensed the changes in the black mist and said, "Be careful. We are not far from finding out the truth. If it is that person's work, he will definitely cut off the source and may even use this as an excuse to attack us."
"I'll do it." Dou Lin said, operating the space prism. The refraction from countless spaces distorted their area, hiding them in the deepest part of space. Even if Tiandao came, it would take a long time to explore, and Dou Lin would be able to sense it and take precautions in advance.
Xu Qingqiang is not strong enough now and can't help at all, so he is protected by Dou Lin behind him.
But he had a good attitude. He knew why his cultivation speed was so slow. If he was willing to start over and cultivate the laws of life, he would now be one of the masters of mankind.
However, facts have proved that he, who had no memories, made the best decision this time. Compared with playing with plant growth, treating the wounded, etc., what he likes most is to improve himself through fighting.
Just like playing a game where you can gain experience points by killing monsters, living life like a game makes him feel interesting and look forward to every day.
Even though he was being protected by everyone, and there was nothing he could do to help in this situation, Xu Qingqiang still leisurely lit a cigarette for himself and said, "Looking back over the past few days, how many years have passed?"
Mu Zhong said, "Nearly a million years."
Xu Qingqiang asked, "So long?"
Mu Zhong said, "Time has no meaning to me. Traveling to any point in time within this era is just a snap of a finger. But tracing the origin of reincarnation requires a slow search, exploring the marks left on reincarnation by the past."
Xu Qingqiang said, "A million years is a bit of a subtle time point. Did the Undead race die out a million years ago? Have we returned to that time point now?"
Mu Zhong shook his head: "It is now four million years ago, and the Necromancers perished nine million years ago, nearly ten million years ago."
Xu Qingqiang nodded, and when he was about to say something, his eyes suddenly lit up: "It's out, there's a shadow."
Everyone also saw a figure slowly walking out of the thick black fog. When the fog dissipated, a tall and strong figure was revealed. He had a pair of black horns on his head pointing towards the sky and he was smiling in a simple and honest manner.
Mu Zhong and Dou Lin looked at Wei Huan immediately.
Wei Huan's memory was frantically impacted by this figure, the reincarnation tracing process paused, and the shadow in the mirror of time dissipated.
Wei Huan looked at the empty mirror and Liu Chengzhi's soul sleeping in the lotus, and fell into a long silence.
Xu Qingqiang looked around and said, "Who is this? You look so scary."
After a brief silence, Mu Zhong said, "Big guy."
"Big guy?" Xu Qingqiang repeated in confusion, "He looks like a demon. Is he from the Abyss Clan?"
"That's right. He is the leader of the Abyss Clan and the Lord God of the Abyss. In other words, he is the Lord God of the Abyss with dominant power. But because the dominant godhead of the Abyss Clan is in Si Ling Huan, he has remained at the Lord God level for a long time. However, his strength is not weak at all. His combat power far exceeds the Domination level. He is an ultimate genius in combat." After finishing speaking, Mu Zhong looked at Wei Huan again. Seeing that Wei Huan did not interrupt him and was listening to him, he continued, "He saved the young Si Ling Huan in the abyss. Since then, he has been accompanying Si Ling Huan on the road of revenge until he became the leader of the Undead Clan. In the battle against the Great Emperor-level forces, he has also been highly active. He is a God of War-level existence."
"Oh." Xu Qingqiang raised his eyebrows after hearing this. "Isn't this the path I want to take? I'm also the God of the Abyss. Could it be that you've misjudged me? Could it be that I possess a part of his soul?"
Xu Qingqiang thought so, he liked being a god of war.
But Wei Huan shook his head and said, "I have looked for him, but I haven't found any trace of him in the cycle of reincarnation. I know he must have reincarnated and is alive somewhere in the world, waiting to see him again in the future.
It turns out he had been with me for a long time.”
Mu Zhong walked over to Wei Huan, grabbed his hand and patted it to comfort him.
Wei Huan smiled, a smile that was somewhat bitter. When he looked up again, he looked at Xu Qingqiang and said, "You are not him, but you and I, all of us, have benefited from his kindness. Now it seems that he spent the next six million years diligently cultivating, ultimately developing an ancient divine body suitable for us humans."
Xu Qingqiang's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Liu Chengzhi in disbelief. "The ancient divine body cultivation method that is so crucial to us? Researched by Orange Juice? Oh my god, what a surprise! An unexpected turn of events!"
Mu Zhong said, "No, it wasn't Orange Juice who did the research, but the big guy. Perhaps it was because of this great merit that he was able to enjoy the highest blessings in his reincarnations."
Looking at Liu Chengzhi in this way and his previous eighteen happy lives, we can completely understand him.
The big guy is very important to Si Linghuan. He is both a father and a friend. Moreover, the big guy has developed a method to cultivate the ancient god body. Therefore, even if Si Linghuan is gone, reincarnation will retain Si Linghuan's expectations for the big guy and give him the best life.
Mu Zhong thought about this and asked Wei Huan: "The big guy is a master god, how did he fall?"
When the wheel of reincarnation shines on the figure, the life experienced will be engraved on the wheel of reincarnation, and Wei Huan can see everything.
But Wei Huan was lost in some emotion, with his eyes slightly lowered and no words spoken.
There was a deep sadness in his eyes.
