Night King: My Life Journey
Ch-402b. Yama's Betrayal
With a hint of hesitation in his heart, Lin Feng walked up to the old man, but his steps were suddenly prevented by Huise who had just arrived at the place, Huise even intended to attack the god of life, instead, however he was also prevented by Lin Feng and instead invited Huise to approach the god of life.
The god of life then poured the tea into two empty cups in front of him, then gave it to Lin Feng and Huise. "Drink, so that your mind can calm down" said the god of life.
"Thank you" Lin Feng replied, then drank the tea, as did Huise. And sure enough, when they drank the tea, the minds of the two of them were immediately calm, even the burden of their minds instantly disappeared.
"Hows it? Have you guys tasted the benefits?" ask the god of life.
"You're right, my mind immediately calmed down after drinking this tea" replied Lin Feng.
"In that case, I will tell you something" said the god of life.
The god of life then tells about the war that occurred thousands of years ago, the war that occurred between the gods and Yama, who was then the god of death.
(Flashback On)
Thousands of years ago, life in the universe was still fine, everything was going quietly and very safely under the leadership of Goddess Nuwa, the God-giver of life and ruler of the gods. At that time, all the gods were also still living quietly and doing their respective duties that Goddess Nuwa had given them all.
But the calm is suddenly shattered when Yama, the god of death and ruler of hell, decides to betray and aim to exterminate all the gods. Whereas at that time, Yama was the only candidate who was very suitable to be made as the leader or king of the gods, because in addition to his extraordinary strength, he was very powerful, Yama is also the most trusted god by the goddess Nuwa.
Chaos began when Goddess Nuwa gathered the gods to discuss the most suitable candidate to be the king of the gods, at first everything went very smoothly, even the gods are very sure if Yama is the god who will be chosen, because indeed Yama is the most powerful god compared to all of them, but Goddess Nuwa refused to make Yama as king on the grounds that Yama is still not ready, when the real purpose of Goddess Nuwa is to test the patience and determination of Yama.
But the decision of Goddess Nuwa actually makes Yama very angry and embarrassed, even though he was really ready to be appointed as a king, he had even prepared a small feast to celebrate his success as king of the gods. At that very instant, Yama directly attacked Goddess Nuwa without saying a word, but the other gods managed to resist his attack.
"Yama, what are you doing?!" said one of the angry gods.
"Haha! If I can't be king in this way, then I will be king in my own way!" yama answered, then attacked the gods who were there.
The fight was inevitable, Yama and the gods fought with all their strength, the fight also lasted quite a long time and Yama was completely invincible, even the entire god was greatly overwhelmed against Yama who had great power. Luckily, Goddess Nuwa managed to stop the fight and throw Yama into the world of darkness.
Time is rolling very fast, hundreds of years have passed since Yama was banished to the world of darkness, Yama's power is also getting bigger during his time in the world of darkness, even his strength was already many times greater compared to his strength when he was in the god realm. Not only that, Yama had even managed to gather millions of demon troops to attack the god realm.
After feeling enough, Yama who had been silent for hundreds of years finally started a mess and his first goal was the human world. With a lot of strength and troops, Yama actually managed to terrorize the human race, he also managed to create destruction everywhere, not even a few humans who became victims of the violence of Yama and the devil nation, he also managed to create destruction everywhere, thus making the people dissolve in a very big fear.
The gods certainly did not stay silent when Yama created chaos in the human world, after asking permission to Goddess Nuwa, the gods then came to the human realm to fight the demon race. The war between the gods and the demons shocked the entire universe, causing even greater destruction, but the gods still did not defeat Yama and his army.
Fearing that the effects of their war would be even greater, the gods would combine their powers to seal Yama and the demon army, but who would have thought that their strength was not enough, even the seal they created managed to be destroyed by Yama very easily, not only that, Yama even managed to absorb the power of the gods they originally wanted to use to seal Yama, which was why, that was why, Yama even managed to absorb the power of the gods they originally wanted to use to seal Yama, the gods lost their power and turned into razor-less souls.
Goddess Nuwa, who had only witnessed from the divine realm, finally came to the human world to stop Yama, then by using her power, Goddess Nuwa finally managed to seal Yama and the demon nation, and finally, the evil one, he also succeeded in repairing the destruction caused by Yama, as well as the destruction caused by the war between the gods and Yama. But the destruction that occurred was really very big, so Goddess Nuwa had to sacrifice herself to repair all the destruction.
(Flashback End)
"So do you understand why I'm telling you this?" ask the god of life, after he has finished his story.
"From the story you tell, now I can understand how powerful Yama, even Goddess Nuwa, was to sacrifice herself just to fix the mess Yama created, which means, that is, to say, my current strength is nothing compared to Yama" replied Lin Feng.
"You are right, but do not look down on yourself, you are the only glorious hope of Goddess Nuwa. And most importantly, you are a very great young man and have the potential to become the ruler of the universe" said the god of life.
"Haha! Old man, you're really good at pleasing people, but I'm sorry, I'm not interested in being the master of the universe at all, because all I want is freedom. Why have power, strength, possessions and everything, if everything is shackled and becomes a burden on the mind, would it not be better to live a quiet and free life with no one to govern?" said Lin Feng.
"Your words are true, but power is also needed, because that way you can protect the people you care about" answered the god of life.
"You're wrong, old man, it's sometimes the power that can make the people you love wretched, because most humans will forget everything when they have power and they will only think of ways to expand their power" said Lin Feng.
"One more thing, power is not at all needed to protect the people you care about, because the most important thing is the will, the will, if there is a will to protect loved ones then surely you will protect them, no matter if you have power or not" he continued.
