Chapter 1: God's Will is Like a Knife, Starting Over

Fengdu City.

Since the beginning of reincarnation, the underworld has been responsible for judging the good and evil deeds of all living beings and sending them to reincarnation. It has various buildings such as the Yama Palace and the Eighteen Levels of Hell.

The person who rules the underworld is the Emperor of Fengdu.

At this time, King Wu Jifa led his army to capture the city of Chaoge, destroyed King Tang's 600-year foundation, established the 800-year-old Zhou Dynasty, and was the time when Jiang Ziya was deified on behalf of heaven.

Unfortunately, even though Wen Zhong, the Grand Master of the Shang Dynasty, worked hard and devoted himself to the cause, and many disciples of the Jiejiao sect came down the mountain to help, it was still difficult to change the situation of the Shang Dynasty's imminent collapse.

The destruction of Shang and the rise of Zhou were the natural trend.

It is beyond human control to change!
Even the saint of Jiejiao, Tongtian, who set up the Zhuxian and Wanxian formations in succession, was powerless to reverse the situation.

In the battle of Ten Thousand Immortals, except for the Holy Mother Wu Dang who escaped, the Taoist Duobao who was captured by the Jade Emperor, and the three thousand predestined people who were led to the West by Zhunti, all the immortals of the Jiejiao were killed in the battle of Ten Thousand Immortals.

The souls and true spirits of the myriad immortals of the Jiejiao, because of their overwhelming resentment, lingered between heaven and earth and refused to reincarnate, which had a huge impact on all living beings in the prehistoric world.

Therefore, the saint Taishang Laojun specially issued a decree, asking the King of Fengdu, who is in charge of the underworld, to personally send the true spirits of the tens of thousands of immortals of the Jiejiao into reincarnation.

The reason for all this is that when the three religions of Human, Chan and Jie signed the List of Conferred Gods together, they had agreed to divide the people who would be affected by the calamity in this Conferred Gods calamity into three categories.

Those with deep roots and practices will achieve immortality.

Those with inferior roots will achieve the divine path.

Those with shallow roots and conduct, even if they achieve human status, will still experience the cycle of reincarnation.

However, the Ten Thousand Immortals of Jiejiao did not die of old age. They died in vain, and they were filled with tremendous hatred. They were reluctant to leave the human world and were unwilling to enter the cycle of reincarnation and be reborn.

After all, thousands of years of practice are wasted.

How many people can endure it?

Among the tens of thousands of immortals of the Jiejiao Sect, except for those who are qualified to be included in the List of Gods, the rest of the disciples also have cultivation. Even if they die, the Black and White Impermanence will not dare to provoke them easily.

Therefore, only the Emperor of Fengdu can take action himself!
“When a person dies, it is like a lamp going out. The cycle of reincarnation is rekindled. When an immortal dies, it is like a thought dispersing. All past events are wiped out! But the road to becoming an immortal is full of ups and downs. Heaven’s will is like a knife. It evolves one calamity after another. Killings are imminent at any time. There are countless practitioners, but how many of them can reach the end?”

At the edge of the mysterious wheel of reincarnation, the King of Fengdu was wearing a black and gold imperial robe, a tall crown on his head, and twelve tassels hanging down, each with nine jade pieces, looking extremely solemn and dignified.

At the same time, he lamented the difficulty of the path to immortality.

On the other hand, he sent all the immortals of the Jiejiao into reincarnation without hesitation.

The King of Fengdu personally took action, holding the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen, and judged the merits and demerits of everyone in their lifetime. The whole process was orderly and well-organized.

until……

Three beautiful women appeared in front of him.

Looking at their original forms, they are actually three successfully cultivated monsters, namely the nine-tailed fox, the nine-headed chicken monster, and the jade pipa monster.

The Emperor of Fengdu stood tall and straight with a cold expression, like a towering iceberg, making people afraid. He read out the verdict as usual: "The nine-tailed fox, the nine-headed chicken spirit, and the jade pipa spirit, bewitched the king and murdered loyal people... They should be thrown into the eighteen levels of hell and never be reborn!"

“Impossible!” The nine-tailed fox was in a frenzy, with a fierce look on her face. She rushed towards the Emperor of Fengdu like a madman, wanting to tear up the Book of Life and Death in his hand. She roared, “It was the Goddess Nuwa who asked us to ruin the Shang Dynasty. She also said that after the matter was accomplished, she would grant us a great opportunity. I want to see the Goddess Nuwa! The Goddess would not lie to me!”

Obviously, it was because of the extreme shock that the Nine-tailed Fox's spiritual heart collapsed and it was in a state of confusion, so it did this reckless act.

The Fengdu Emperor had boundless magical power. He only showed a hint of pressure and easily suppressed the nine-tailed fox. He looked at the distraught nine-tailed fox in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "Another poor person being used by the saint. If it was Nuwa, the former leader of the demon cult, she would naturally keep her promise. Unfortunately, she is no longer... the original Nuwa! Now she only has the way of heaven in her eyes!"

"In the past, the ancestor witch Hou Tu sacrificed her body to become a reincarnation. Since then, reincarnation has been established. Ping Xin left and Hou Tu is no longer a witch. When the goddess Nuwa used her body to repair the sky, she fell into the calamity of losing me. How could she be any better? When she returned, she was no longer... the saint Nuwa from before!"

"Although the saints of the Heavenly Dao also have the word 'person' in their names, once the Heavenly Dao overrides the human heart, they will no longer have the slightest desire for living beings! As long as the prehistoric world is not in danger of destruction, they will not care! This is true for the Goddess Nuwa! This is true for the Goddess Pingxin, and this is also true for the Taoist Hongjun!"

As if he had thought of something, the Emperor of Fengdu made some changes in the Book of Life and Death and said to the ghost soldier beside him: "Erase all her memories and send her to the human world!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the ghost suppressed the nine-tailed fox without hesitation.

Hearing the sigh of Emperor Fengdu, Han Yi, who was waiting for judgment among the many fallen monks, was stunned and murmured into the void: "So that's it!"

He was originally a person from the future, and by chance, he traveled to this world. He thought he could create a brilliant future with his understanding of the Conferred God Tribulation.

But he overestimated himself.

After wandering in the mortal world for more than two hundred years, he finally shed his mortal body and achieved immortality.

After that, he went through another four hundred years of hardships, seeking opportunities everywhere, and even risking his life to face disaster, before he barely touched the threshold of the Golden Immortal realm before his death.

did not expect!
In the end, it is still impossible to escape the fate of falling!

"Is destiny really irreversible?"

Han Yi's eyes were deep, like a thousand-year-old cold pond. When he was about to face the judgment of the Emperor of Fengdu, he couldn't help but think of the questions he asked Tongtian Jiaozhu not long ago.

As a person of later generations, he naturally knew that the Orthodox Sect and the Heavenly Court were the final winners in the Battle of the Gods, and he had once thought about joining one of the sides.

However, the most important thing for the Chan sect is to follow!
With his extremely poor qualifications, it was naturally impossible for him to become a disciple of the Chan sect.

And even if the Heavenly Court was in such a state of decline and had no one left to use, it would not want a mortal like him who had not yet achieved immortality!

After struggling in the mortal world for more than a hundred years, he discovered that the Jiejiao, which taught all without discrimination, was the only sect in the world that could possibly accept him as a disciple.

As for the Western religion, although it also recruited talents, he had not yet achieved immortality at that time, and even riding a cloud was extremely difficult for him. How could he have the ability to go to... the West, which was billions of miles away from the Shang Dynasty?

You have to know that his cultivation was low at the beginning. Even when he went to Jin'ao Island to seek an opportunity to join the Jiejiao Sect, he had to go through numerous hardships and dangers.

"There is no door to the great road!"

There are more than hundreds of millions of creatures in the prehistoric world, but those who are qualified, have the opportunity, and have the luck to become immortals are less than one in ten thousand. And this is the situation after the Taoist ancestor Hongjun preached three times in Zixiao Palace in the past, and several saints established their own Taoist traditions and carried out teaching.

From this we can see how difficult it is to seek the truth!

In other words, the living beings today were born in the wrong era and lack some opportunities and luck!
When the world was first created, those innate creatures occupied the vast majority of the spiritual roots, spiritual treasures, and luck in the prehistoric world. They were the sons of luck favored by the world.

During the Lich and Wizard Tribulation, the innate spiritual energy was still quite rich. Even for an acquired creature with extremely poor aptitude, as long as it had a method to breathe in and out spiritual energy, it would not be too difficult to cultivate to become an immortal.

However, after Gonggong angrily struck Mount Buzhou, causing the pillar of heaven to break, the Milky Way to tilt, and all living beings to suffer, the innate spiritual energy declined into acquired spiritual energy, and cultivation became extremely difficult!
And Han Yi is the time traveler who was born in the wrong era.

He is a time traveler for sure!
However, he did not have the standard system or golden finger for time travelers, nor did he have the grandfather in the ring, and he did not even have the better qualifications for cultivation.

He once said self-deprecatingly: "Perhaps, I am the worst among all the time travelers!"

After joining Jiejiao, he once tried to change the fate of Jiejiao's destruction. But in the face of the great trend of heaven and earth, what could he, an insignificant Xuanxian, do?
He tried to persuade the Jiejiao members not to go down the mountain, but he was powerless and his influence was not influential. In addition, Guangchengzi blocked the Biyou Palace three times, and Shen Gongbao, the god of disaster and misfortune, was stirring up trouble. Few Jiejiao monks were willing to listen to his advice and stay on Jin'ao Island to practice quietly.

The Ten Heavenly Lords are like this!
Zhao Gongming is like this!
The same is true for the Three Sisters!

One after another, cultivators were listed as being afflicted with the calamity. In the end, all the immortals of the Jiejiao sect and Tongtian, the saint of heaven, were dragged into the quagmire of the calamity and could not extricate themselves!

Before the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, he once risked exposing the fact that he was a time traveler and informed Master Tongtian that the Chang'er Dingguang Immortal had evil intentions.

The Six Soul Banner was not stolen!
However, this one fierce and rare treasure from heaven alone cannot change the overall situation!

Although the Six Soul Banner has the ability to severely damage the spirit of a saint, the true spirit of the Saint of Heaven is entrusted with the Way of Heaven and is immortal. It is difficult to completely kill it with just this one evil and rare treasure.

God’s will cannot be changed!

Human power is sometimes limited, what can we do about it?
Seeing that the destruction of Jiejiao was inevitable, Han Yi had no intention of living and dying with it. When the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation was broken, he immediately chose to flee thousands of miles away.

However, even after Daoist Patriarch Hongjun stepped in to mediate the dispute between the Three Pure Ones, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the orthodox teaching, led by Guangchengzi, had no intention of letting these remnants of the evil teaching go. After escaping for several days, Han Yi was still found hiding by Taiyi Zhenren, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals.

Therefore, his true spirit appeared in this dark underworld just like the tens of thousands of immortals of Jiejiao.

……

The King of Fengdu had a gaze as sharp as a torch and as fast as lightning as he judged the karma and sins that the immortals of the Jiejiao had committed in the past.

Soon, it was Han Yi's turn!
The Emperor of Fengdu looked at Han Yi with an indifferent expression and scolded him, "Han Yi, you killed your father and relatives, you were disloyal and unfilial, and you also practiced evil and slaughtered mortals. Do you admit your guilt?"

Han Yi heard this and nodded calmly.

Perhaps because he felt that Han Yi's performance was too indifferent, Emperor Fengdu couldn't help but look at him again and said, "Do you have anything to quibble about?"

The Book of Life and Death in his hand is an innate spiritual treasure of the highest grade. Although it records all the sins committed by a living being in his lifetime, it does not record the reasons.

Some monks kill people in order to save others!

If they were to be reborn as animals because of their sins of killing, it would be against the order of heaven and earth.

Therefore, the underworld established the City of the Dead, and the Emperor of Fengdu conducted a relatively fair trial on all living beings entering the underworld.

In the eyes of the Emperor of Fengdu, anyone who could remain calm after hearing the verdict of patricide in front of him is not unique, but can be said to be rare!
"No!" Han Yi shook his head and said expressionlessly: "These are indeed all the sins of killing that I have committed. I have no excuses!"

boom!
Hearing this, Fengdu Emperor, as a person with great supernatural powers, pressed down on Han Yi with his aura like a mountain. He angrily shouted, "How dare you do such a thing as patricide? Aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven?"

People who practice spiritual cultivation attach the most importance to cause and effect.

Especially this kind of cause and effect with blood relatives, one dare not get involved in the slightest.

Just like Nezha who became a disciple of Taiyi Zhenren, no matter how much he hated Li Jing, he did not dare to go against morality and commit the inhumane act of patricide.

The Emperor of Fengdu really couldn't understand how this guy in front of him could remain so calm after doing such a thing.

Even in the face of the powerful pressure from the Emperor of Fengdu, Han Yi remained calm. He thought for a moment and said, "They wanted to kill me first! If they want to kill me, I will kill them! Since my father doesn't consider me his son and my brother doesn't consider me his elder brother, why should I care about this blood relationship?"

The Emperor of Fengdu was stunned, as if he had not expected this answer.

After all, even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, so how many parents in the world would want to kill their own children?
But he knew that the other party was not lying!
In the face of the six realms of reincarnation, even a cultivator at the Golden Immortal level can only face his own heart and cannot tell the slightest lie, let alone Han Yi, a True Immortal cultivator?

Fengdu Emperor asked: "What about the others?"

Han Yi's expression was as calm as ever. He looked up and said, "It's just the law of the jungle! My talent is just ordinary. If I want to become an immortal, I must kill, fight, and rob!"

"Do you regret it?"

"No regrets!"

The two of them asked and answered each other, and it went on as simple as that.

But no matter what Emperor Fengdu asked, Han Yi's face remained calm.

Finally, the Emperor of Fengdu gave an order to the ghosts standing by: "Come here, the Jiejiao monk Han Yi, who killed his father and relatives, violated human ethics, practiced evil methods, and slaughtered mortals, will be sent to the animal realm!"

"Yes!"

The two ghosts immediately followed the order of Emperor Fengdu and pushed Han Yi towards the animal path.

Seeing this, Han Yi did not resist and let the two ghosts carry him forward. He smiled and said, "Morality is precious, but friendship is more valuable. If it means immortality, both can be abandoned! Xia Jie was sad about his desperate situation, but he did not blame the will of heaven. This heart is born naturally, how can it be reduced to mediocrity? I will ascend to heaven in the next life and renew my heroic spirit! Hahaha!"

Then, it turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the dark reincarnation tunnel.

boom!
The wheel of reincarnation shook violently, as if something unexpected had happened.

The Emperor of Fengdu's expression suddenly changed, and he said in shock: "The power of time and space! How is this possible? Who is behind this?"

However, no one could answer him!
