The Strongest God System 3
Chapter 240: Return to the Tiantang Realm
Lin Chen released his entire cultivation base which he had not had time to expel all this time. Just from its aura alone, it generated a thunderstorm with thunderous roars, and the Diyu Realm was completely destroyed with nothing left.
With golden energy enveloping, its energy spread out forming a net enveloping trillions of miles of it, capturing all souls trying to escape.
The spider web-shaped energy shrank and returned towards him after successfully capturing all the souls that were trying to escape. The souls tried to rebel even after being captured, but after Lin Chen unleashed a bit of his strength, all the souls regained their composure.
"Dao God. Life, Blessing, Creation. Time Reverser."
Suddenly, the aura in his body exploded forming a golden mist that spread out in all directions. They spread until they stopped by themselves in the Kongbai Universe, which then exploded after the golden fog began to form a wall that blocked out like an egg shell.
With both hands on your back, stand firm like a steel pillar that never wavers. He released another bit of his energy, which vaguely formed the silhouette of a different-shaped Lika person, they were the ones that Yan Xue had killed before.
Meng Po, Hey and Bai, Cow and Horse-Headed Hell Guards.
When their bodies were reconstructed and opened their eyes slowly, their gazes trembled in fear and immediately prostrated.
"Greetings, Your Majesty Jade Emperor!"
"Hem." Lin Chen did not bother to answer him and just incubated, not even looking down because they had all injured Yah Xue even if it was just a strand of hair. If it did not require them to run the Diyu Realm, it would not have to bother to resurrect them anymore.
Lin Chen closed his eyes, waiting for the Diyu Realm to recover: 18-Level Hell Tower, Reincarnation Gate, Yellow River, Hell Park, Soul Tower, Forgetting Tower, Death Waterfall and so on.
When everything had returned to how it was, Lin Chen lowered his head looking at the five people who were still prostrating despite an hour had passed.
"I don't need to explain, maybe you know for yourself what happened to you before you were resurrected." His voice sounded emotionless flat, but to Meng Po and the others, his voice contained anger and they were like they were inside a storm.
"Meng Po, I'm assigning you to lead the Diyu Realm for a while."
Meng Po flinched upon hearing that. He looked up staring at Lin Chen's knee with his mouth open about to speak, but it was cut off first.
"Difficulty to operate the Diyu Realm with only five people? I know that, there should be eight to ten other than Yan Luo Wang. But it turns out that there are only six of you, have the others been killed?"
Surely Lin Chen would not allow just five people to take care of the Diyu Realm. After all, the Diyu Realm dealt with the dead, and even the Tiantang Realm alone required hundreds of Realm Lords.
Meng Po paused for a moment, then replied, "His Majesty Emperor Wang knows that you, His Majesty the Jade Emperor has long since disappeared and he got incitement from Lord Sanzu to rebel ..."
"At first he refused, but after much talk, he finally collapsed and persuaded us Hell Officers to follow him. But we refused, four of us resisted and were killed by him, then the five of us were exposed to his ability that sealed our souls."
Meng Po was silent again, and no longer spoke.
Lin Chen turned his back to Meng Po, a Demon Whip and a Demon Mask appeared in front of him. "Crack your power. Devil whip, change one of the whips to become Oni. The Demon Mask, broke a third of your strength and stayed in the Diyu Realm to keep an eye on all here."
The Demon Whip and Demon Mask emitted a red glow with a killing aura that was so dense that it created its own Domain.
One of the Devil Whip was cut off, then split into hundreds of thousands of small pieces that changed. They were Oni who served under Hey and Bai. But, with the power of the Devil Whip, it might be too much to be an Oni.
The Demon Mask released a human silhouette dressed in red clothes with black hair and his complexion as pale white as a corpse.
Without wasting any time, the Demon Mask flew to the Hell Palace after obtaining permission from Lin Chen.
With an impressive echoing sound, the Diyu Realm had recovered as it was. The Sanzu River, which connects the Universe with Diyu after the dead, no longer exists and is replaced by the recently named River of Souls. The river was blue in color, and was formed from spiritual energy.
Lin Chen turned his head back to look at Meng Po who was kneeling. "Meng Po, or, should I call you Empress Houtu? You have done good things while being a human being, and even while being Empress to the people you lead, you sacrificed yourself to help reincarnate souls ..."
"Now, I will give you one offer, do you want to return to stay in the Tiantang Realm?"
Meng Po fell silent in surprise speechless. It was a tempting offer for anyone who was basically a human being, who used to live in simplicity and peace while spreading religion.
Meng Po stood with a bowed body and cupped both hands. "Thank you for your offer, Your Majesty Jade Emperor. The servant was very grateful, but, the Servant has made a mistake for attacking the Empress of Heaven. Even if it's under control, mistakes are mistakes ..."
Meng Po looked up, looked at Lin Chen and said seriously, "Hamba will never leave the Diyu Realm."
Lin Chen was silent for a few seconds as he looked at Meng Po, then nodded his head and turned around. "Alright, I appreciate the decision you made."
Before his departure, Lin Chen looked at the surroundings again to search for the whereabouts of Ashura and the Mosquito Daoist, but only realized that they had already become ashes when sealed within the Nine Yin.
Meng Po, Hey and Bai, the Cow and Horse-Headed Hell Guard cupped both hands with the intention of saluting. Likewise with the shards of the Demon Mask that was in the Hell Palace.

Tiantang Realm
Lin Chen returned to the extremely desolate Tiantang Palace, considering that almost everyone had come with him to the Diyu Realm. With a wave of his hand, hundreds of thousands of white light appeared in front of him, forming a different-sized silhouette.
Erlang Shen, dressed in orange war clothes, had a golden scarf cloth hovering around his neck and carried a spear in his left hand, along with a black dog standing beside his right. He was a War God who served in the front row, possessing a strength that was not much different from that of the Heavenly Warrior Chief and the Golden Dragon King.
Erlang Shen looked around. "Is this the Tiantang Realm? This isn't an illusion?" He even activated his third eye on his forehead to confirm it.
The Heavenly Core Warrior Chief stood beside Erlang Shen and could not help but remain silent, finally raising his hand and hitting Erlang Shen on the head. "We're really back, look up."
At that instant, everyone turned their heads to look at the sky, a young man was floating at a 45-degree angle from their sight. The young man who turned his back with his hands on his back.
That, Jade Emperor!
"Greetings, Your Majesty Jade Emperor!" Everyone knelt down while cupping both hands.
Lin Chen did not see it, still looking up at the vast horizon. For some reason, after killing Lord Sanzu, there was a strange feeling that plagued him. It was Ashura and the Mosquito Daoist, even though they had already disappeared without a trace, but there was still concern.
Lin Chen touched his forehead, activating the Tiandi Seal as his eyes closed. When he reopened it after a few tens of seconds, he could feel that Ashura and the Mosquito Daoist were fleeing when the Diyu Realm split apart.
With a flick of his hand, Ashura and the Mosquito Daoist suddenly appeared in front of him with a dazed look.
Ashura and Daoist Mosquito gasped with cold sweat drenching their faces. Their trembling eyes revealed a terrorizing feeling as they looked at Lin Chen who was in front of them, and felt death was already at the tip of the horn.
"Ka-Emperor—"
Duarr!
Even before they could say more clearly, Lin Chen killed them without leaving even the slightest trace.
"Sister!"
Lin Chen turned his head back and lowered his head, looking at Xue Ying who had recovered, even though his clothes had not returned.
Xue Ying flew into the sky following Lin Chen by carrying Yan Xue in both hands. "Sister Yan has a fever!"
A fever? Lin Chen frowned, as a Realm Lord, it made no sense for them to have a fever. Even for coughing, maybe never if not for choking.
Lin Chen touched Yan Xue's forehead, feeling a fairly hot temperature. "He was exhausted after fighting Yan Luo Wang. Imposing yourself in the use of Nine Yin."
Lin Chen took Yan Xue from Xue Ying's hand. "I can cure him now, but for now, just let him heal normally while resting." He flew to Tiantang Palace.
Then look back. "All of you, rest in three days, then go back to work as usual."
"Okay, Your Majesty Jade Emperor!" Everyone flew in various directions after giving their greetings.
Xue Ying, Goddess Kuxing and the Seven Daughters flew to Tiantang Palace to alternately guard or assist in taking care of Yan Xue.
