Ascension!!
Just these two words immediately caused an uproar in the entire world of immortal cultivation.
In fact, they had never thought that there would be a day of ascension in this world. As early as a thousand years ago, when the major sects were in power, the spiritual energy was thin and Nascent Soul cultivators were rare. They already knew that there was no hope of ascension.
After they built the path created by Sang Baizhi, they felt that there was no hope for ascension anymore.
Those who clamor to meditate and practice cultivation and return to their past selves actually have no confidence at all about whether they can ascend.
However, they never expected that——
The Demon Lord actually told them!!
She is about to ascend!!
Did they hear it wrong?
Is the Lord joking?
Or is she really going to ascend?
But the Demon Lord still hasn't achieved any level of cultivation yet! !
How to ascend without cultivation?
Everyone was staring at the screen in shock.
Bai Zhi smiled and said, "You heard correctly. I am truly ascending. I have been preparing for this day for over a hundred years."
She moved her hand, and a familiar blackboard appeared behind her.
No one was surprised. After all, they all received nine years of compulsory education.
Bai Zhi: "To ascend, I have to ask everyone a question - do you know what ascension is? Do you know what comes after ascension? Have you ever seen a cultivator who has ascended?"
Everyone was stunned.
Bai Zhi pushed up her glasses, the smile on her lips was like a devil————
"So, what exactly is ascension? Is it life or death? What does it mean to become an immortal? What happens after becoming an immortal? Do you know?"
Everyone: “…”
A chill ran down my spine.
Yes, none of them has ever seen a monk after he ascended, and they have not passed back any words. What exactly is ascension?
Have you become an immortal?
A former Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly became terrified—
"I remember now. When I was very young, a nearly deceased senior master told me that the ascended cultivators once said during their ascension that they felt they were very powerful, but not omnipotent. The realms above the Nascent Soul stage aren't even close to becoming immortals!"
It’s really terrifying when you think about it!
Where have all those so-called ascended monks gone? Have they truly become immortals?
Why have the omnipotent immortals never sent back a single word?
The more I think about this question, the more frightening it becomes!
After all, the fear of the unknown is the most terrifying.
At this time, Bai Zhi on the screen raised her eyebrows slightly, and said calmly:
"You know nothing, yet you are all eager to ascend, to cultivate, to reach a higher level. Such behavior is foolish to the extreme."
Those who proposed to meditate and those who supported meditation all blushed.
Yes, they knew nothing, yet they made such a request...
Just as these people were feeling extremely ashamed, Bai Zhi suddenly changed the subject: "However, everyone, please don't be afraid. I asked you this today because I already have some ideas."
Everyone stared at the screen without blinking.
The eyes of those who supported cultivation lit up again. Yes, the Lord said that she would ascend today!
"The planet we live on is definitely not unique! Ascension is simply the journey from one world to another." Bai Zhi turned around and drew a picture. "After all, ascended cultivators are definitely not immortals, nor are they omnipotent."
After a pause, she tilted her head slightly, her voice carrying a meaningful tone -
"Of all the cultivators who have ascended and left this world, no one has ever returned, nor has any of them ever sent back any news. We don't know whether they are alive or dead, and we don't know where they went after leaving this world. In this situation, are you sure you want to ascend?"
Everyone was stunned. This was the first time they heard such a statement and they were already terrified.
Hearing Sang Baizhi's question at this moment, everyone subconsciously shook their heads.
No, they are doing fine the way they are now. The biology department has made some progress.
They have a good life in this world and may even live longer than three thousand years. They don't want to go to a place where they know nothing.
What if the so-called ascension means death as soon as you ascend?
Once upon a time, they might have been confident that the cultivators who had been able to break through the Nascent Soul stage seemed to them to be extremely powerful, fearless, and omnipotent.
But now, no, the powerful Nascent Soul cultivators still have no choice but to admit defeat in the face of technology.
There is always someone better than you, and there is always something better than you. Who knows what will happen after you ascend?
Even those who wanted to practice and ascend, including the poster who posted the message, immediately gave up the idea of ascending.
"I told you, don't be afraid. I will solve all problems for you. Besides, today is the day I ascend to heaven, and it is also my last day in this world. Of course I have to make plans for your future." Bai Zhi smiled brightly.
Some people can't wait to say in the forum -
"My Lord, please take a look at the forum. Don't ascend. No one knows what it's like to ascend. It's dangerous!"
"Yes, Lord, please don't ascend."
"Speaking of which... How on earth can the Lord ascend without any cultivation?"
"The Lord is such a good man, he even wants to plan our future!"
"Wow, I'm so touched!"
…
Bai Zhi put down her pen and said calmly, "That's why I said that relying on cultivation to ascend is extremely unsafe. After all, once you ascend, no one knows whether you live or die, or how you will return. But what if you ascend with preparation?"
Everyone was stunned.
Bai Zhi continued, "Using my body as a medium before was a waste and meaningless! Ascending before was foolish and impulsive, as I was unaware of the future and the outside world! Now that I can cultivate in a different way, I can certainly ascend in a different way!"
"I've just said that the so-called ascension is nothing more than leaving this world. If there are other ways to leave and return, then we can ascend with confidence. The destination of ascension may also be the destination where those monks ascended in the past."
A smile appeared on her lips. "And now, I have found a way, the ascension ship - Baizhi."
As soon as she finished speaking, the blackboard behind her disappeared and a huge spaceship appeared.
It was silver-white in color with the three words "Baizhi" written in large letters on it. It was very different from all the flying boats they had.
That color, that feeling, would instantly make them think of two words - invincible.
"Baizhi can take me out of this world and see the world after ascension. Baizhi and I both carry more powerful protective shields, and Baizhi has powerful offensive weapons. No matter what the world looks like after ascension, I am not afraid, and in the future, you will be the same." Baizhi looked ahead, as if looking at the disciples who were watching the live broadcast.
Their eyes met, and the disciples suddenly felt extremely excited.
right!
If they had the Baizhi, they would be more powerful than those ascended monks, and they would not be afraid of going anywhere!
The people who had just thought that ascending was too dangerous and didn't want to ascend suddenly became excited.
"Ahhh, I want to try ascending too!"
"Yes, I want to see what the world looks like after ascension!"
"Maybe we can even meet our ascended ancestors, haha."
"Will they be very powerful? Will they be more powerful than us?"
"We have a master, what are we afraid of?"
…
Bai Zhi pushed up her glasses and said, "But this Ascension Boat is mine, and everything on it is mine. If you want to ascend, you must build your own Ascension Boat to leave this world, as well as a powerful protective shield and powerful offensive weapons."
Everyone: “???” What?
"You should have understood by now. I will not leave you any notes for ascension, and your telomere research is destined to come to an end. After ascension, you may not necessarily find a way to achieve infinite lifespan in other worlds, but if you don't ascend, you are destined to not have infinite lifespan."
Bai Zhi smiled and said, "I'm doing this for your own good. If I leave you with the secrets of Bai Zhi's construction, you'll lose the ability to explore. After I leave, you'll have to rely on yourselves. Continue studying math, physics, chemistry, and biology, and continue your research and exploration."
Everyone: “!!!”
"In ten thousand years, this world will no longer be able to accommodate all of you. Therefore, even for the sake of future generations, you must all study and research diligently. And to ensure that future generations also study and research diligently, the unified national examination system must never be abolished until you are able to ascend!"
Bai Zhi's smile gradually brightened: "So everyone, prepare well for the National Unified Examination in a few days. Come on!"
Everyone's expression gradually changed: "......"
What kind of devil is this?!
At the end of the video, Bai Zhi boarded the Bai Zhi ship and left them with one last message:
"See you in other worlds. Goodbye."
Bai Zhi entered the ascension boat. A golden dragon kept flapping the boat, its face full of anxiety and tears in its eyes.
She sighed deeply and walked to the door.
The golden dragon stopped flapping and transformed into a human form in front of her.
He had been learning from her since he was a child. For the past thousand years, he followed her wherever she went. When she did experiments, he would lie down beside her and sleep. He learned everything from her.
So, he also wore black clothes and had the same calm expression. The thousand-year-old dragon was just a teenager with a childish and delicate face.
At this moment, he said nothing, but just looked at her stubbornly with tears in his eyes.
Bai Zhi sighed again: "I said I can't take you with me. You have to live well in this world. You have great strength, and I have taught you everything I can. You can live well, whether in this world or in the future. Don't look for me, you won't find me."
Jin Long would only look at her stubbornly, then speak in a hoarse voice: "Are you really not taking me with you? We have never been apart."
“All good things must come to an end.”
Jin Long said nothing, just stared at her.
That look made Bai Zhi helpless. She looked away and said calmly, "Let's go."
"Give me a name." said Jinlong.
He had made this request for a thousand years, but Bai Zhi had always refused.
At this moment, meeting his stubborn eyes, another pair of eyes suddenly appeared in Bai Zhi's mind, equally stubborn and determined.
"Call me Xiaotian, Yutian. May you ride the sky in your life. May the sky not be able to stop you." After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she took a step back and closed the door.
The ascension boat flew up to the sky. Both the cultivators and Yutian looked up at the Baizhi, watching it gradually disappear in the sky above their heads.
No trace of it was seen anymore.
The devil in their hearts, Sang Baizhi, left, but the legend remained forever.
Along the way, Bai Zhi was obviously silent.
444 asked, "Master... is he here?"
Bai Zhi thought about it and nodded: "It's right here. I can already feel the pull of the system space."
444 swallowed hard, "If they knew you didn't ascend at all, and that your so-called ascension was all a lie, they would be furious!"
It is quite quiet in this world, and even for a thousand years, it hardly dares to make a sound.
It always felt that the master in this world was extremely terrifying.
Now, out of this world, 444 felt a little relieved.
Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow. "I only lied to them about my ascension, but not anything else. Ascension isn't a scam. Once they gain enough strength, they will naturally go to other worlds. It's a pity that I don't have time to explore. The world of immortal cultivation is already a very high-dimensional world. The world they ascend to will definitely be even more interesting. What a pity."
444: “…”
It suddenly asked, "What world did you say they would go to after ascending? Is it possible that they would reach the world we've been to?"
"It's possible. When passing through a black hole, space may fold. They travel through the universe and may encounter a familiar world. However, due to the differences and folding of space and time, they may go before me or after me." Bai Zhi said seriously.
444: "...Will they encounter people from Baizhi Star, or from the Baizhi Federation?"
Bai Zhi shrugged: "Maybe."
444: "..." What should I do if I suddenly feel so sympathetic towards them?
Bai Zhi: "It's time to go back."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Baizhi exploded in the starry sky and disappeared without a trace.
postscript.
Another thousand years have passed, and another grand examination for all cultivators in the world is about to begin.
Baizhi World, yes, after Sang Baizhi left, this world was ordered to be Baizhi World.
They thought that there must be another world outside this world.
When people ask them where they are from, they should have a name. After thinking about it, they named themselves Baizhi World.
Although Sang Baizhi is very devilish, it must be said that she has a significant impact on their world.
It's time for the annual assessment again.
Unless they can graduate from Class A and become masters, they will have to take part in the national unified examination every year.
Even those masters had to break free from one exam after another.
Every time this happened, the Baizhi world was always filled with curses and cries. Taoist cultivators, demonic cultivators, and human cultivators, everyone was shouting and yelling.
They cursed—
"Sang Baizhi! You devil!!"
"Aa ...
The appeal is—
"Masters, please hurry up, I really don't want to take the exam anymore!!"
"Masters, please work hard, let's ascend, let's end the exam!"
This time, there were still such curses and calls.
But this time, before the exam, the masters of Baizhi World suddenly spread the news—
Regarding Ascension, we have made significant progress. We will have specific data tomorrow, and the data will tell us when we can build an Ascension Boat, so that we can ascend like that devil, oh no, like the Lord.
The monks were extremely excited.
Early the next morning, they crowded onto the official website and began chattering with excitement and anticipation.
"Has this really been such a big progress?"
"I hope it can be quick, and it would be best if I can ascend soon. I really don't want to take the exam anymore!!"
"We Roar Beasts used to just eat and sleep. My father took fifty years to complete the nine-year compulsory education, and I studied for fifty-one years. I hope my children never have to go through the nine-year compulsory education again!"
"Yeah! We monsters shouldn't go to school. Come on, masters!"
"...Do you think we'll meet Sang Baizhi after we ascend? Although I admire her, I don't really want to see her."
"Me too, I hope I never see her again in my life!!"
"Hurry up, when will it be completed?"
"I'm about to finish my nine years of compulsory education, but my cub has just been born. If the masters act faster, maybe my child won't have to go to school anymore."
…
Soon, the masters responded, also through video, and their faces were obviously not looking good -
“The data is out.”
"The technological level between us and Demon Lord Sang Baizhi is at least three thousand years apart."
The masters took a deep breath and covered their faces——
"That is to say... everyone should hurry up and review, because there is an exam tomorrow!"
Want to avoid being tortured by exams?
Wait another three thousand years.
Everyone: "…………" Hurry up and review? Three thousand years?
I have to take the test at least 3,000 times?!
——"Sang Baizhi! You devil!!"
Returning to the system space, 444 breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Zhi remained calm and said, "Ask the original owner to come out and give her ratings. I'm sure she'll be very satisfied."
444: "..."Satisfied?
——Dear, you replaced Tianxia Datong with Tianxia Datongkao! !
But this is a matter between the original owner and the host. One is the client's father and the other is the real father. The weak little Jiaotong can only call them out and let them communicate by themselves.
After all, Sang Baizhi is a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of the Golden Core, and is considered the most imposing among all the original owners.
But after she landed, the moment she saw Bai Zhi, she subconsciously took two steps back, with fear flashing in her eyes.
Bai Zhi smiled: "Are you satisfied with the world's unity?"
Sang Baizhi: “…”
For some reason, she actually saw something in Baizhi's smile - a question?
Does she feel that her wish for universal peace is too torturous?
Will she do something to herself?!
Sang Baizhi shuddered and stammered, "Very, very good..." Fortunately, she has no afterlife, so she doesn't have to worry about being reincarnated into her former world!
"Then dear, will you give me full marks?" Bai Zhi smiled again.
The word "kiss" frightened Sang Baizhi so much that she quickly said, "Full, full, full!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared.
444: “…”
It thought it should get used to this scene.
Bai Zhi nodded with satisfaction, took off her glasses, wiped them, and said, "Go on, after you finish reading the ratings, go to the next world."
444 quickly summoned the large screen, and the numbers on it showed no surprise at all—
SSS.
Sometimes 444 would think that if it wasn’t 3S that appeared one day, it would probably be even more surprised than it is now.
Then, the screen appeared again——
"Congratulations to the host Bai Zhi for upgrading her title from 'Demon King' to 'Great Demon King', adding 2,000 points."
444: “???”
Can the title be upgraded?
And leveling up actually adds 2000 points?!
This "Devil King" was upgraded to "Big Devil King", which really shows how devilish this woman is! !
444 is really stupid.
However, the system space began to set off fireworks as usual, and the top 100 list appeared, ranking already at 39, and the content was -
Wish System 444, host Baizhi, points 10,000, big devil, rookie king, dream breaker, nightmare on earth.
444: "..." Looking at the row of terrible titles, it suddenly felt numb.
There were constant messages on the system forum poking at it, and it was obvious that it had exploded.
However, 444 looked at the row of titles, then at the calm woman in front of him, and suddenly wanted to ask—
Can it really live to the end of its life?
Is it really possible that one day it will suddenly be tortured to death by the devil?
Bai Zhi put on her glasses and turned around: "Are you so calm today?"
444: “…”
He immediately raised his voice and shouted, "Master is awesome! Master is awesome! Master is mighty! Master is invincible!"
An expressionless little ball of light vividly demonstrated with its body - flattery.
Bai Zhi nodded reservedly and smiled: "Let's go to the next world."
444 is good and obedient——
"Yes, Master."
But deep down, it was already in tears.
Dancing with the devil like this is fucking terrible!
This is a modern world, but it is also different from any world Baizhi has ever been to. It is also a metaphysical world.
Yes, this is a metaphysical world, which means that this world... has ghosts.
But the ghosts in this world are different from the ghosts in some horror movies. The ghosts in this world are the souls of dead people.
With the population expansion in recent years, the underworld is obviously unable to accommodate everyone.
There is too much pressure in the underworld, the ghosts are crowded together, and the reincarnation system is running a little slowly for some reason, so you need to queue up to be reborn.
Basically, it takes several decades for a new ghost to be reincarnated. If it is a ghost with poor character, the waiting time will be extended to a hundred years later.
Then there are more and more ghosts, housing prices in the underworld are getting more and more expensive, jobs are getting harder to find, and the ghosts are under more and more pressure in life.
However, with the progress of the times and the development of technology, people are cremated after death. When paying respects to the deceased every year, relatives prefer to bring a bouquet of flowers instead of burning paper money or lighting incense...
So...I'm short of money!!
The dead ghost became a poor ghost.
The wheel of reincarnation slowed down, and the underworld could no longer hold all the people. So some clever ghosts secretly dug holes and ran from the underworld to the human world.
People have all kinds of personalities, and ghosts also have all kinds of personalities.
Ghosts come to do evil, and ghosts wander around the world.
There was also a clever girl who was very cunning. She hooked up with someone and fell in love with him!
From then on, she no longer lacked money. She had a house in the underworld and a lover in the human world, and her life was so free and easy.
This clever ghost has opened the door to a new world for the poor ghosts in the underworld!
Therefore, for a long time, there was a craze of "hooking up with people from the world of the living" in the underworld, and all of a sudden, countless pairs of "human-ghost love" emerged.
The original owner was named Mo Baizhi, a master of metaphysics.
Logically speaking, in this age when ghosts roam the world, being a master of metaphysics is a very popular and highly respected profession.
But Mo Baizhi is not.
Let me describe Mo Baizhi's existence like this: In "The Legend of White Snake", Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi are in love with each other. Their love transcends species and transcends everything.
But Mo Baizhi is not Xu Xian, nor is she the White Snake, she is - Fahai.
Yes, in this era when countless couples of "human and ghost love" have emerged, Mo Baizhi is the one who breaks up the couple.
Wherever there is a human-ghost love, there is Mo Baizhi!
If you see a pair, beat them up.
Throughout her life, she had broken up countless couples, causing great uproar in both the Yin and Yang worlds. Rumors about her were extremely negative, even to the point where both humans and ghosts hated her with hatred.
How could there be such a person?
What's it to you to know other people's love affairs? Instead of catching those evil spirits and doing good deeds, you just spend all day trying to break up couples. No matter what, you just break up any couple you see.
What a fucked up behavior!!
The above is the view of the Yin and Yang worlds on her.
But Mo Baizhi didn't think so. She felt that she was upholding justice. She felt that she was the light of righteousness and a master of metaphysics who upheld righteousness in the world!
The couple that Mo Baizhi finally broke up was a little special. It was not that the female ghost Xuewan was hooking up with the human Xian Shucheng, but that they were a couple in the Yang world and were both masters of metaphysics.
Xue Wan lost her life while killing the evil ghost, but she truly loved Xian Shucheng, so after going through all kinds of hardships, the man and the ghost finally got together.
Everyone in the metaphysical world turned a blind eye to them, and some even sincerely wished them well.
But Mo Baizhi is different. She believes from the bottom of her heart that she is the light of righteousness. When people die, they must go to the underworld. Ghosts are ghosts, and humans are humans. Ghosts should not be with humans!
So she separated the couple again.
The story of Xuewan and Xian Shucheng is quite famous in the metaphysical world, so it was written into a story.
It was serialized online and became extremely popular.
So the author wrote a sequel.
The author collected materials and wrote about all the "human-ghost love" that Mo Baizhi had once destroyed. One story after another, each more poignant than the other, and the villain running through all the stories was Mo Baizhi.
When this book became popular, countless people were scolding the villain and calling Mo Baizhi inhuman.
Mo Baizhi saw it.
She didn't understand what she had done wrong.
The most important thing is that she found that the metaphysical community began to isolate her.
Everyone looked at her with eyes that said, "You are so inhumane," "You are so cruel," and "You are not a human being."
Xian Shucheng finally found the dead Xue Wan, and finally got together with Xue Wan, but Xue Wan was killed by Mo Baizhi again. He was completely crazy.
After failing to find Xue Wan in both the Yin and Yang worlds, Xian Shucheng was certain that Xue Wan was dead. So, he spent a long time preparing, and then killed Mo Baizhi with his own hands.
The dead Mo Baizhi was also ostracized in the underworld, and everyone hated her.
The world curses her, and the underworld hates her.
Mo Baizhi, who always thought she was the light of righteousness, was shocked!
She was very confused. She spent a very long time thinking, but she still didn't know where she went wrong?
She felt she was right, but the fact was that everyone hated her.
The ghosts hated her, and even the humans she thought she was protecting hated her.
She was all alone when she was in the human world, and no one wanted to care about her even after she died. It can be said that Mo Baizhi had no friends in her life and was extremely lonely.
Bai Zhi is very curious about this world, but the most important thing at the moment is——
"What was the original owner's wish?"
444 replied: "The original owner was very confused. She didn't know why everyone disliked her so much, but she became a master of metaphysics and kept walking on the edge of danger just to help others, to gain recognition and likes from others. So she couldn't accept the result."
444 swallowed and continued, "So, the original owner's wish was—she wanted to know what a master of metaphysics should do? She wanted... friends in both the Yin and Yang realms!"
The wishes of these original owners are so fucking stupid.
Isn't this embarrassing for the devil?!
The devil in this world can make both the Yin and Yang worlds her enemies, but... friends?
hehe.
Bai Zhi smiled: "No matter what the original owner's wish is, as an excellent tasker, I will fulfill it for her."
After saying that, Bai Zhi opened her eyes.
The world is very subtle. Bai Zhi looked at the man standing opposite her with a face full of hatred.
She knew that this man was Xian Shucheng.
There were bombs everywhere under her feet.
As long as the man presses the button, she will immediately become a ghost.
