The Desolate Era
Walk faster!

You are dead and a ghost. Faster!”

You are a prince? You rule over tens of millions of citizens and thirty thousand armored horsemen? In the Netherworld Kingdom, you human princes are nothing!

Hit it!

Hit it!

A tall and strong-looking demon warrior, his face cruel and ferocious, growled furiously as he whipped her repeatedly. The whip flashed like lightning, attacking the bodies of the souls of the dead. He struck the ghost who had arrogantly declared that he was a prince a few dozen times, only stopping when the ghostly soul was about to disappear.

I should have died. So that means this is the Netherworld Kingdom? Ji Ning appeared out of nowhere. He could not help but stare curiously in an unfamiliar environment. When she heard the prince's arrogant boast, Ji Ning couldn't help but feel suspicious; ten million citizens? Thirty thousand armored horsemen? On modern Earth, where would one find thirty thousand armored horsemen?

“More fast!” The large and glowing minotaur demon warrior looked at Ji Ning and neighed.

Ji Ning followed the other regiments.

Countless men in white clothes formed a line, like long dragon meandering, as they slowly moved forward. At the end of each line, more people in white clothes suddenly appeared. Some of these white-clothed people would shake their heads and sigh. Some will cry. Some will brag and curse. Some will look at wonder.

My father was the Demon King of the Great Snow Mountain. How dare you attack me! I'm gonna eat you! Grrs!

Stop hitting me!

“Ah!”

The ghosts who had just reached the Netherworld Kingdom did not know that they were dead. Many of them roared furiously as they were beaten, but quickly, they were beaten to the point of understanding that they were already dead. No matter how glorious they were in the past, in death, they now had nothing.

.

Time passes quickly. Ji Ning walked for a very long time in that endless row of ghosts. He did not dare to say anything. If he spoke, he might be whipped by that minotaur. He had been walking in a daze for a long time. Fortunately, ghosts do not feel hungry or thirsty.

One day, after a long daze of walking.

“Ji Ning!” A rumbling sound seemed to echo in the world. Countless ghosts all raised their heads to stare at the sky. Ji Ning looked at the sky as well. From the horizon, a huge black cloud began to roll over, and on top of that cloud was a gigantic minotaur deity shining with a black light.

This enormous minotaur god was over a hundred thousand meters tall. He's like a big mountain. The black cloud he was in quickly flew over from the horizon.

“Ji Ning.” Above the huge black cloud, the minotaur god gazed down, his eyes emitting a twin high golden light beam, covering the entire area below and illuminating Ji Ning's body, the, who stood there like an idiot.

The light shone from the minotaur god's eyes wrapped around Ji Ning's body, and Ji Ning disappeared from within the phantom ranks. The ordinary minotaur warriors were all silent, no one dared to make a sound. All the ghosts are in shock. Only a long time later did they recover.

..

Inside the boundless black clouds, a gigantic minotaur god stood up.

He stretched out his hand, and on top of his palm was a small dot. Ji Ning's.

Ji Ning was really surprised.

Lord.

An enormous minotaur god was standing in front of him, and he was standing on his palm?

“Ji Ning.” The minotaur god peeked at the small spot in his hand.

“I came by order of Lord Palace Cui to come receive you.” The minotaur god spoke to a small dot in his hand, and then with a wave of his hand, Ji Ning was placed in an empty empty area. The minotaur god then raised his black clouds and quickly disappeared into the horizon.

..

The Fengdu City of the Ghost World.

In the quiet study room, there was a bookcase and table next to it. A blue-robed man in the middle of the year was flipping through a book.

Ji Ning stood in front of him.

“Why does Palace Master Cui want to meet me?” Ji Ning wondered. He had no idea who this Palace Master Cui was and had never met him. He's just an ordinary guy. How could he possibly know a god? If he had a strong background, then he would not be tormented by his illness all his life. So why did Palace Master Cui send the minotaur god to bring him here?

He called me, but then he didn't speak to me. Ji Ning glanced around the room.

The study is very simple. The only decoration is a painting.

“It ...” Ji Ning saw it carefully. This is a painting of a girl. Her hairy clothes were filled with natural elegance, and the smiles on her lips were even more mysterious than those on the Buddhas in the temples on Earth. In the blink of an eye, Ji Ning became enamored of studying the painting. The woman in this painting, in terms of appearance or hair or clothing, is very alluring.

“Oh?” The blue-robed man raised his head and glanced at him, glancing at the painting in surprise. “I didn't expect he would have such a power of perception.”

“Build!” The blue-robed man shouted softly.

The world of empty contemplation that Ji Ning had just experienced was completely destroyed, and he had actually woken up. Only now did he remember that he was at Palace Master Cui's place.

The lord of Cui Palace had closed his book and looked at him. Ji Ning's expression instantly changed. This was because from his current position, he could see the words in the hands of Palace Master Cui: “Book of Life and Death.”

The lord of Cui Palace was reading the Book of Life and Death?

“I just read about your life.” Palace Master Cui smiled towards Ji Ning.

Ji Ning was surprised.

Her life?

His previous life appeared in his mind like a dream. His father was a leading researcher in the bioscience program. His salary is very high. His mother was an ordinary teacher. Her life should have been amazing ever since she was born into such a family, but unfortunately, she was suffering from a persistent illness. All the doctors said that it would be a miracle if he could live to fifteen or sixteen years.

Therefore, he could not go to school, nor could he play around with his friends. Every day, just by walking for half an hour, he would feel exhausted. His weak body, constantly tormented by illness, caused his childhood to be very lonely. She had long heard in the hospital that others were discussing how she should die in her teens. This kind of frightening feeling of knowing your imminent death had tormented his childhood, causing him to become even more loner.

Good thing!

Luckily, he has books and the internet.

Books and the internet gave him ‘the mental’ world that allowed him to avoid the fate of having a crooked personality. Through books and the internet, he greedily gained knowledge of the world, and his heart slowly calmed down, making him more rational in the way he looked at the world.

He knew that in this world, there were children who were even worse than him. After all, he still had parents and he had enough food.

He was looking for his life value. He can't just stay here and wait to die, right? As long as he was alive, he had to do something. And thus, he had requested a hundred thousand Chinese dollars from his parents and started doing business online. He originally wanted to make his life more interesting, but beyond belief, he really had an incredible achievement.After so many years, he had gained an enormous fortune.

But despite that, his illness constantly reminds him that he will not be able to live any longer. Since her parents did not need her to provide for them, she felt leaving money there would be a waste. So, before he died, he distributed all his money, giving it to poor and sick children all over the country.

“I cannot change my own fate, but I can change the fate of those countless poor and sick children!”

This was the deepest wish in Ji Ning's heart!

After sharing all his money, he did not expect that one day, while he was walking outside the hospital with his parents, he just died.

“Your life is bitter since you were born.” Palace Master Cui said softly. But bitterness doesn't twist you. Instead, it encourages you to achieve amazing feats. Not only do you make a lot of money, but more importantly you give it your all!

Eighteen years. Dead.” Palace Master Cui sighed. “For someone willing to sacrifice themselves to save a stranger is quite rare.”

Ji Ning said, “Master Palace, you praise me too much. If I lived long, I probably wouldn't want to do this. According to the doctors, I could live three months at the most. For me to exchange those three months of life to allow a little girl to earn dozens of years in her life was not in vain!

“Nature Heaven.” Ji Ning muttered softly.

Palace Master Cui sighed, Only those who accumulate great karmic merit can enter the Heaven Realm. On Earth, it was extremely difficult for one to reach this level. Consciously or unconsciously, by giving up your great wealth and helping all those children, you are accumulating an enormous Karmic reward. Otherwise, you might not be able to enter the Realm of Heaven.

“Master Palace, what do you mean?” Ji Ning was confused.

People are born pure and without malice. Palace Master Cui said. Children are totally pure, but then, the strangeness of life causes them to change if you help an adult, you may have helped some good people, she said, but it's hard to say who's good and who's bad. If you have helped the bad guys, it will reduce your Karma reward.

Ji Ning now realized what he meant.

The Book of Life and Death has established that you will only live to sixteen years. However, due to the accumulation of your services, you are allowed to live until the age of eighteen. Palace Master Cui sighed.

“What?” Ji Ning was surprised. “Do you say that the destiny contained in the Book of Life and Death can be changed?”

Of course they can be changed. Why can't they be changed? Palace Master Cui laughed. To me, adding a hundred years to someone's life is nothing. Even if Heaven wanted you dead, it would still give you a chance, much less the Book of Life and Death. A person's fate is predetermined, but it can be changed at a later date.

Ji Ning now understood.

Thas right.

The ancients said, If Heaven commits an act of sin, one can resist it; but if you commit a sin, then you will not be allowed to live. If Heaven wants you dead, it will still give you a chance to live. The Book of Life and Death is nothing more than a predetermined destiny, one can try and change afterwards.

I believe there are many people who collect great rewards. Palace Master, why did you call me alone? Ji Ning asked, confused.

Palace Master Cui laughed. You and I are from the same village.

From the same hometown? Ji Ning was stunned. Are you also from

“True. According to the words you used ‘modern’, I am also from Earth! Palace Master Cui laughed. “But it used to be in the Sui and Tang dynasty era.”

Sui and Tang?

Ji Ning was very excited. I heard the ghosts say that they are ‘prince’ or ‘demon king’. None of them are from Earth.

It was normal of them not to come from Earth. In the infinite space-time universe, there were three realms; Heaven, the Netherworld, and the Mortal Realm. Palace Master Cui explained. Heaven refers to the Heaven Realm! Netherworld refers to the underworld, the Netherworld Kingdom! Mortal, referring to the Mortal Realm. In the Mortal Realm, there were more than three thousand major worlds and trillions of small worlds.The three thousand major worlds were all extremely vast, and had Gods and Demons hidden within them. As for the trillions of small worlds, they were all much smaller and had a much lower population. Our hometown, Earth, is one of those little worlds. As of now, there are only a few billion people.

Every time, in those three thousand major worlds and trillions of small worlds, there were countless deaths, and all the spirits came here to the Netherworld Kingdom! Tell me, how many ghosts does the Netherworld Kingdom have? Palace Master Cui looked at Ji Ning.

Ji Ning was surprised.

My god!

Three Realms?

The Mortal Realm is huge. Earth is just one of a trillion small worlds. As an Earth man, in the past, he had always thought Earth was the center of the universe! But now, he realized that the Earth was only one of a trillion small worlds, and could not even be considered one of the three thousand great worlds. In an instant, he felt a sense of loss and disorientation.

Three thousand big worlds, one trillion small worlds. Of course there are many people who have high service. But it is rare for someone from my hometown to have accumulated such high merit, and moreover, your predetermined destiny is a short life. For you to be able to reach such a level even though it is extremely rare! I happen to have some free time, so I want to meet you, a fellow Earth man. The Ruler of Cui Palace. You will soon be reincarnated. Let me tell you about the Six Circumstances of Reincarnation.

The Six Circumstances of Reincarnation refer to Gods, Asuras, Humans, Animals, Preta Ghosts, and Hell Beings.

Palace Lord Cui explained, “Those born as Gods and Asuras are all considered to be at ‘History of Heaven’.”

Humans and Animals are part of the Mortal Realm.

Preta's Ghosts and Hell Beings were in the Netherworld Kingdom Realm.

“Nature of Heaven is the place where you will be reborn.” These words immediately caused Ji Ning to become wary. Palace Master Cui sighed, This is the best place. When you are reborn into the Heaven Realm, the Realm itself will give birth to you as the Deva! Only someone born naturally by heaven can be described as ‘ immaculate life forms’.

Born naturally? Not by a mother? Ji Ning was really surprised.

“Of course.” Palace Master Cui laughed. Otherwise, how can you be considered as ‘the immaculate life form’? In fact, heaven and earth will be your parents!

After being born in the Heaven Realm, you will train at an astonishing speed. You will easily be able to enter the Heavenly Court and become a warrior or a general of Heaven. Palace Master Cui sighed emotionally.

Ji Ning rubbed his eyes.

A soldier or general of Heaven?

Will he be a soldier or a general of Heaven?

The Gods have another advantage; once you turn sixteen, you will regain all your memories of your previous life. Palace Master Cui sighed. The only reason I met you this time is because you have high achievements and are his compatriot. I'm not expecting that when you come here you'll be fascinated by the paintings of Nuwa, the creator of man. Your perception and insight are very high. In order to help you become a prominent warrior of Heaven, I will give you some help.

Ji Ning was really happy. Help her? Help her?

Look at Nuwa's painting. Palace Master Cui pointed at the painting on the wall.

Ji Ning saw it.

So the woman in the painting is the goddess Nuwa?

The person in this painting is the most sacred and most compassionate primordial goddess, Miss Nuwa. Palace Master Cui's face turned serious. Ever since Pangu died after creating the universe, only he, Miss Nuwa, had reached the level of Pangu. Miss Nuwa is able to destroy the universe, but is also able to heal it. He can even create a new life. Of the countless races, the human race was the most spiritual, and it was created by Miss Nuwa. He had comprehended 84,000 truths, and without question, he was the most invincible and powerful presence in the Three Realms.

“The highest in Three Realms?” Ji Ning was stunned.

Nuwa created man, and Nuwa improved the world. He had long heard of these myths.

This painting is used for visualization techniques, but there is no way you can see the secrets hidden in it. Palace Master Cui laughed. Although you will be a heavenly Deva and warrior and will also be trained in this, let me teach you a little visualization technique and fulfill the karmic bond that unites us.

“Thank you, Mr. Palace Cui.” Ji Ning bowed very low, he almost reached the ground.

No need to thank me. It is nothing more than a visualization technique. This was not some sort of secret training method, nor a magical technique from a God or a Devil. Palace Master Cui pointed one finger at Ji Ning's forehead.

The explosion!

Ji Ning felt his brain suddenly explode, and an enormous figure of Nuwa appeared in his mind.

“Build.” Palace Master Cui looked at Ji Ning. “Remember. Visualizing it often will definitely allow you to train your soul. But of course, you will be reborn and you should drink Grandma Meng Potion. You will lose your memory for a while. When you are sixteen years old, you will remember this visualization technique. But that's enough. That will definitely be enough to make you an outstanding figure in the Heaven army! With this visualization technique, you will have the chance to practice becoming an Immortal. If you want to become a Celestial Immortal, you will experience many trials I hope you will succeed, and in the future, we will meet again in the Celestial Court.

Ji Ning's heart was filled with excitement.

Heaven's army?

Becoming Immortal?

He was looking forward to all of that.

“Go.” Palace Master Cui waved his hand.

Hua.

Ji Ning is gone.
