The Desolate Era
2
“At the order of Lord Palace Cui, I came to take you to the Road to the Yellow Springs, brother.”
In the air, a purple-clothed woman flew over while holding Ji Ning's hand.
Ji Ning looked around him.
Just a moment ago, he was in the palace of the Lord of Cui Palace. How did he suddenly appear in the air?
“Dare I ask, who exactly is the Lord of Cui Palace?” Ji Ning was confused. “I heard that before reincarnating, I must meet with the Judge of the Dead, who will investigate my life in the past and present, then send me to reincarnate?”
“Didn't you already see a Judge?” The purple-clothed woman laughed. As the Guardians of the Book of Life and Death, of course the Ruler of Cui Palace was the First Judge of the Dead! Since he personally came to judge you, of course other general judges do not need to come to judge you.
In the Netherworld Kingdom, the highest authority was Yamas of the Ten Hall, the ten Kings of Hell. Just below them was the First Judge of the Dead, Lord of the Cui Palace, ‘Cui Jue’.
His great fame had long since spread throughout the three Realms.
The Mortal Realm was incomparably vast. It had three thousand major worlds and trillions of small worlds. Every living being, before they are born, will be judged for his good and bad deeds by the Judges. How difficult this task is! Thus, the entire Netherworld Kingdom had trillions of Judges responsible for judging the dead souls of trillions of worlds. But Cui Jue was the leader of all Judges, and was given the title of First Judge. He is the true Guardian of the Book of Life and Death. His strength was so great that he was almost at the level of the Ten Kings of Hell.
“See. The Road to Yellow Springs. The woman pointed to the wide path in front of them, which had countless ghosts slowly trudging along the line. If you follow the path, you will soon arrive at the Bridge of Despair. Once you cross the Bridge of Desperation and drink Grandma Meng's Elixer of Forgetfulness, you can be reborn.
“Go.”
The woman waved her hand.
Ji Ning's body was suddenly surrounded by a golden light, which made her fly straight ahead of the line, allowing her to ‘cut the line’.
The minotaur warrior next to the line, upon seeing the purple-clothed woman high up in the air, did not dare to say a word. They even arranged for one of the minotaur warriors to escort Ji Ning and be very polite to her.
..
Yellow Springs Road was filled with fog. Countless souls were passing through it, and Ji Ning was one of them.
“What is it?” Ji Ning looked ahead.
In front of him, the fog was very thick. Every soul that goes in there disappears and never returns.
“Continue. Up ahead is the Bridge of Desperation. The minotaur warrior nearby said kindly.
Ji Ning nodded. Not hesitating, he stepped forward, entering that thick fog.
He suddenly felt as if space-time had changed.
“Where is this?” Ji Ning looked around him in confusion. In front of him was a small winding road. Ghost forms can be made hazy. In front of him, only a few dozen ghosts could be seen. In front of this small road was a river with rushing and murky water.
It was supposed to be the legendary Bridge of Despair. Ji Ning headed forward.
How strange.
Obviously, a lot of people come in here. But why was it that after I entered, so few people could be seen? Ji Ning was quite confused.
How could he know that here, on the Bridge of Despair, time flowed differently than in the outside world.
As the saying goes, ‘For every day that passes in Heaven, a year passes in the mortal world.’
Time passed here on the Bridge of Despair at an even faster speed. One day in the Netherworld Kingdom would be equal to countless years here on the Bridge of Despair.
“Ah! Ah!”
“I'm sorry!”
As Ji Ning walked to the Bridge of Desperation, he saw that the other side of the bridge had pools of blood. The blood pool had all sorts of venomous insects, poisonous snakes, and ferocious dogs that bit people wildly. Most of the ghosts just walked through the pool of blood, but some instantly fell into it. Clearly, these people were burdened by great sins, and found it impossible to avoid the terrible pool of blood.
“If you know what will happen today, will you act like it before?” Ji Ning shook his head, then looked to the other side. “Very beautiful.”
Next to the River of Forgetfulness were countless beautiful flowers.
Not too far from the bridge there are precious gems that emit light, creating many different images. This is the legendary ‘Three Life’ Gem, referring to ‘previous life’, ‘current life’, and ‘next life’.
Not too far away from the Three Lives Gem was a stone stage. This is ‘Dais of Viewing Home’. After the spirits passed through the pulpit, they arrived at Granny Meng.
Deities. Asuras. Living things. Wildlife. Ghost Preta. Hell.” Ji Ning stared at the very deep tunnel behind Grandma Meng.
“I will not drink, I will not drink, I do not want to forget, I do not want to forget..”.
Many ghosts struggle.
But no matter how hard they fought, they were forced by an invisible and inescapable force to move forward. When they arrived next to Grandma Meng, they were forced by an invisible force to drink Grandma Meng Potion. No matter how they scream or how they howl, they keep drinking and after drinking it, no matter how strong their emotions are or how deep their memories are, they forget everything. At that moment, they were no longer themselves.
I entered the Heaven Realm. Although I will recover my memories at sixteen years old, but at that time, whether my memories of sixteen years of life in the Heaven Realm will come first, will be, or will the memory of my previous life take precedence? At that time, will I still be me? Ji Ning felt a bit of sadness.
He'll understand.
In this life, he only lived eighteen years. In the Heaven Realm, during those sixteen years, he would be much stronger than in this life. Most likely, his current memory would be secondary.
“But what can I do?” Ji Ning was already tied up, and she moved forward under the control of that power.
The ghosts in front of him were all drinking from Elixir Granny Meng. In six more ghosts, it's her turn.
“Elicksir Granny Meng.” Ji Ning looked at Grandma Meng.
Grandma Meng suddenly raised her head.
This was the first time Ji Ning had seen Grandma Meng raise her head. Grandma Meng stared deep into the sky, and then her ancient voice said angrily, “Bad!”
The explosion!
The sky broke and the earth broke. The surrounding sky suddenly began to crack, and the fog around it began to break apart and disappear, revealing countless ghosts that lined up in the outside world. Cracks in space turn a large number of ghosts into dust. Like an erupting bubble, countless souls began to disappear, all of them screaming in misery.
“Blowout!” “Blowout!” “Blowout!” “Blowout!” “Blowout!” In the air, countless black dragons could be seen flying, each of them looking extremely large like a huge and winding mountain chain. Ji Ning seemed to be able to see even those heart-freezing dragon scales. Countless dragons roamed around, having fun in the sky, and then each of the black dragons spewed out several streams of black lightning. Instantly, trillions of black lightning strikes slashed down, each causing heaven and earth to shatter.
The Life and Death Dragon Formation Disaster? How do you dare to attack the Six Paths of Reincarnation? This is a big sin! Grandma Meng shouted out in uncontrollable rage. Turning into a beam of light, he flew towards the tens of millions of black dragons in the sky. Instantly, countless black dragons surrounded Grandma Meng.
Thundering
The world was cracking, and the muddy waters of the River of Forgetfulness began to form waves. Every ghost that touched those waters instantly disappeared. The Bridge of Despair was destroyed, and the ghosts over the Bridge of Despair fell straight into the River of Forgetfulness. As for the Six Paths of Reincarnation, that extremely deep tunnel began to tremble as well, and a light shone from its depths.
“Uh oh.” Ji Ning stared in fear at the disaster he witnessed. At the same time, he could feel that the invisible binding force was disappearing.
“I'll take the risk!” When the binding force disappeared, Ji Ning was surprised at once delighted. Half jump, half fly, he jump directly towards the tunnel ‘Nature Mortal’. The Six Paths of Reincarnation were each located in a different place. Since most people entered the Mortal Realm, the tunnel of the Mortal Realm was right behind Grandma Meng and was the closest to Ji Ning. Naturally, Ji Ning chose to jump into that tunnel.
The surrounding ghosts all jumped down into the various reincarnation tunnels.
One ghost dared to try and rushed towards the tunnel of the most distant Heaven Realm.
Explosions
A black lightning strike struck. The ghost, which did not manage to dodge in time, instantly disappeared, along with several other nearby ghosts.
..
What exactly happened in the Netherworld Kingdom? Countless black dragons that had swirled through the air, trillions of black lightning that wildly smashed down. But he understood that as an ordinary ghost, there was no point in worrying too much about him. Moreover, right now, he had no time to worry about her, because his head hurt!
Ji Ning felt his head ache deeply, as if something was frantically grabbing and tearing at him.
His neck hurt, and his body suffered tremendous pressure.
A hua!
Suddenly, he felt at ease, and then, he felt a bone-chilling chill. At the same time, a gust of fresh air entered his mouth. This is the first ‘napas’ Ji Ning has taken since dying.
“Wow!” After taking a deep breath, Ji Ning immediately cried.
Baby crying.
“A child! It's a boy! Although his hearing was somewhat distorted, he could still understand what he had just said.
“Oh. I have been born again. Ji Ning instantly understood.
