Chapter 401 Look at you, saying that

Lin Du couldn't tell what he was feeling now, "It's fine if my senior brother came, but why are you guys here?"

Hou Cang's icy face that had never changed for thousands of years showed a rare crack, "What do you mean by that?"

"It means that I don't need to worry about someone as powerful as my senior brother." Lin Du replied with a smile. Hou

Cang was speechless and turned around and said, "Do you think I want to come? They insisted on coming. If it weren't for the two Yang Lei and Yang Huo who were really hard to cover up, they could only support them from outside. I'm the only one who can fight here."

Lin Du let out a long "oh" and decided to save Hou Cang's face.

The judge came back to his senses at this moment, "No, I said, are you a group here to cause trouble? No matter how good you are at fighting, we still have the Five Ghost Emperors and the Ten Hells above us, I warn you."

Several people looked at the judge with a smile at the same time, "Look at you, saying that."

It is clear that except for the ice face, they are all little kids, and they should not be so disrespectful in terms of age and cultivation, but the judge can't get angry.

It was this group of people in front of him who found the hundreds of thousands of people who disappeared from the Book of Life and Death for nothing. A

large number of souls were lost in a world. Even if someone was playing tricks, it was the fault of the underworld, and someone had to take the blame. There were a

lot of ghost cultivators in the underworld who did not enter the reincarnation and were waiting to eat public food. He didn't want to lose the position of judge that he had cultivated for a thousand years to get.

That was a big deal. The judge had woken up in the middle of the night and kept talking about the tens of thousands of people who disappeared. Even when the first wave of souls were sent back, he almost wanted to kowtow to the people who sent these ghosts to the underworld.

But it’s better not to go to him. It’s really not a good thing for a cultivator who doesn’t want to ascend to heaven to fall into the underworld.

Now he has come, but his way is a bit wrong. He

also wants to see his Book of Life and Death. Lin Du wants to see the Book of Life and Death. He will be punished for keeping the Book of Life and Death.

"I have an idea. The five of us will beat you up and then take away your Book of Life and Death. Then you won’t be considered derelict in your duty. It’s just that we are too strong. What do you think?"

Lin Du seemed to see the struggle of the judge. Of course, workers have their own sufferings, and she certainly understands.

"A little injury, but it can also be more serious, it's up to you." Lin Du looked at the judge, "We respect the victim's wishes."

If Hou Cang hadn't come, she might have tried to influence the judge, but Hou Cang came, she didn't mind a group beating.

The judge was confused by this group of people who didn't say a word and played by the rules. Before he could react, the group of people had already rushed over.

"No! You guys!!!"

"I got it!!!" Ni Jinxuan excitedly pulled out a book and threw it to Lin Du.

Yan Qing and Yuan Ye each held down the judge. He seemed to be struggling fiercely, but in fact he quietly stuck his joints in the hands of the two people, which was very convenient to grasp. There was also a long sword that was inexplicably taken out.

How did the spirit sword get brought to this underworld! Aren't they out-of-body ghosts?

After holding the long sword, she lowered her eyes and looked at the judge, "Don't move."

Lin Du lowered her head and quickly flipped through the book. She moved very quickly. This kind of divine artifact looked very thin and simulated, but in fact, the number of pages was ridiculous.

But at this moment, in the black hall, the candles on both sides were bright, and the pages of the book with golden light flashed very fast, comparable to the rushing of rivers and seas, without stopping for a moment. Not only the judge, but even Yan Qing, who had always been crushed by Lin Du, felt that it was a bit too ridiculous.

"She can read like this?" The judge almost forgot that he was being held.

Yan Qing was numb, "I don't know about others, but what Junior Master said is normal."

Lin Du was born with a fast reading speed. After his consciousness was strengthened to this point, it has exceeded the speed that ordinary people can receive.

"Don't tell me, this is faster than a fan." Yuan Ye sighed, "This afterimage is dizzy."

After only three hours, Lin Du stopped and took out a chart. On it was a chart of the strength change of the power of rules. She had a new discovery.

I had never noticed this zigzag line when I was in the demon world before. It was divided into several nodes.

"Some of the nodes are very interesting."

"The population of Dongming Realm has been in a relatively stable state of fluctuation since ancient times, and since six thousand years ago, the appearance of blank pages has begun to increase."

The blank means that this soul cannot be recalled and has fallen outside the rules of the Heavenly Dao. It was destroyed and eaten by something outside the control of the Heavenly Dao.

In Dongming Realm, most of them were eaten by evil demons, and the number increased after six thousand years, not because the evil demons became stronger, but because the fragments of fallen gods appeared.

"Six thousand years ago, it was exactly the time when the fallen god fragments first appeared in Dongming."

"And since the six thousand years ago, the power of the Heavenly Dao rules has been declining relatively steadily. If we ignore the curve caused by the thousand years of monks who devoted themselves to the Heavenly Dao to supplement the Heavenly Dao rules, I can almost draw a straight line with a certain slope. Since six thousand years ago, there have been more twists and turns, and the decline of the Heavenly Dao has accelerated."

Lin Du said while Yan Qing took notes. The judge who was forcibly tied to the stool also pricked up his ears.

"So the decline of the Heavenly Dao power at the beginning was because of that demonic energy..." Yan Qing paused with his hand holding the pen and looked at Lin Du in the hall.

"The origin of the demonic energy." Lin Du confirmed his conclusion.

"Since six hundred years ago, this downward trend has slowed down."

"Since more than five hundred years ago, there have been many gaps in the Book of Life and Death that have disappeared continuously, and the number of survivors has decreased sharply."

"I think this is the reason why the rules of heaven have temporarily eased the pressure."

"Then... Wenfu..." Hou Cang was a little confused, "He can't have done something good,

right?" Lin Du shook his head, "No, no." Hou

Cang said, and he was relieved.

Scum is scum after all.

Lin Du still lowered his eyes, holding the two books in his hands, slowly exerting force.

The number of people in the spirit world is originally less than that in the mortal world, so hundreds of thousands of people are naturally not many. In the mortal world, a war may kill nearly hundreds of thousands of people, but those can still enter reincarnation.

Wen Fu's actions caused the souls of the past six hundred years to decrease. Even with Lin Du's rescue, the large gaps could not be filled. Most of the records were already incomplete.

He was blinded by one leaf and failed to see the real enemy, the remnants of the fallen angel, and the rules of the outside world, which led him astray.

Lin Du suppressed his emotions, "If I didn't save those souls, perhaps they could indeed slow down the process of Heaven's decline."

"But we did."

"These returning souls will cause the Dongming Realm to accumulate a large number of cultivators at once within five hundred years. Those who are reincarnated as plants and unintelligent animals are the next worst. There are also a large number who are reincarnated in Zhongzhou and the demon clan to become spiritual practitioners."

And in the books of life and death of these people, the scheduled time for cultivation after reincarnation has become very long, proving that the spiritual energy can indeed not keep up with the supply.

Lin Du paused, "Unless the situation is unstable in the next five hundred years, wars are frequent, deaths intensify, and reincarnation after death is delayed, this is simply impossible, let's put it aside for now."

"Or someone will devote themselves to the Heavenly Dao to maintain the balance. Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao will experience a sharp decline in spiritual energy and an aggravated decline within five hundred years, which will lead to natural disasters. Resources cannot be regenerated in time, and will also cause man-made disasters."

"I took apart the chessboard and blocked his chess path." Lin Du seemed a little regretful, "But those useless pieces ruined the game. Maybe I shouldn't have saved it." "

But you are not the one who did something wrong." The judge couldn't help but speak, "What you have done is the light of righteousness. If the population is too large, resources will be consumed and there will be no time to replenish them. If there are too few people, the progress of your world will slow down, and even the overall reshuffle will collapse."

"If you hadn't found the souls of these people, your Dongming Realm would have been noticed by the people of the Thirty-Three Heavens. If you can't solve that problem, they will take action and Dongming Realm will really be left with nothing."

The darkness on Lin Du's face suddenly disappeared, and he looked up at the judge. His eyes, which were gray and heavy because they were not simulated, were like snow falling on a cold mountain, which was blown away by the wind, revealing the crystal clearness that had long been accumulated into ice.

The judge was shocked to find that he had been deceived by this kid and said too much.

Lin Du smiled, "Thank you, Judge."

"Of course we can solve the Dongming Realm's affairs." Lin Du returned the Book of Life and Death, "If a god enters the Dongming Realm, we can naturally kill the god."

The judge's heart tightened when he saw those eyes.

Long before Lin Du came, he had been speculating on what could make such a big world lose so many souls quietly.

Sure enough, the big problem in Dongming Realm was due to the fall of the upper realm. Today, Lin Du came to snatch the Book of Life and Death, which actually gave him a clue.

He hinted back like this, so it was not considered a leak of the secret.

Lin Du got the answer, but his heart was heavier.

The fundamental reason for the decline of the Heavenly Dao was the source of the demonic energy. Later, the fragments of the Fallen God appeared, which aggravated the decline. Wenfu became the sharpest knife of the Fallen God.

It was like playing a game of chess with someone. The first step was sharp and sharp, but the second step was a mess. When you get closer, you find that the opponent has changed, and the chess pieces that the previous operator played so badly have become sharp knives stabbing her.

Her opponent is not Wen Fu, not the Demon Lord, but a fallen angel.

A "dead thing" that seems to have no soul and can always hide behind the living.

Even if the fragments were fed to Han Yueling and Tiandao by Lin Du, the influence of this thing is still continuing.

She really doesn't have much time left.

"Go or go, your life will still be deducted." The judge looked at Lin Du's figure who was about to leave, "Just do as you say?"

Hou Cang looked at Lin Du with a cold face, "What else? Lin Du still has life to deduct? If I deduct it, are you going to take your soul now?"

The judge held the Book of Life and Death, "Look at you, you say that, but I'm not the one who takes the soul. I'm only responsible for keeping the accounts."

"Put it all in my account. I have a long life and I'm too lazy to share it with a child. I don't mind a hundred years."

Hou Cang said, turned around and left. When

the judge saw them leave, he tore himself even more fiercely, holding the Book of Life and Death for half an hour before running to the main hall .
