Chapter 2, Reincarnation

I entered the celestial realm. Although I was able to awaken the memories of my past life at the age of sixteen, by that time, would my memories from the sixteen years in the celestial realm dominate, or would the memories of my past life prevail? By then, would I still be myself? A hint of sorrow flickered in Ji Ning's eyes

"He is a young master, he is a young master." A slightly awkward yet still discernible voice emerged.

The fog ahead is thick; as soon as a ghost enters, it disappears without a trace

"May I ask who Lord Cui really is?" Ji Ning inquired with confusion. "I have heard that before one is reincarnated, one must meet the judge, who reviews their past life and determines their next life, and only then can one be reborn"

This is the first time Meng Po raised her head after Ji Ning's discovery. Meng Po looked up towards the distant sky and let out an aged roar: "Impudent!"

Strange matter

... ...

Wow

A day in heaven is equivalent to a year on earth

Ji Ning nodded, without hesitation, and took a step directly into the thick fog

"Look, that is the Road to the Underworld." The woman in purple pointed to a vast road ahead, where countless ghostly figures were slowly advancing. "Along the Road to the Underworld, you will soon reach the Bridge of Helplessness. After crossing the Bridge of Helplessness and drinking the Meng Po soup, you will be able to be reincarnated."

Ji Ning was surrounded by golden light, and he directly flew down to a distance below, entering the front of the line, effectively "cutting in line".

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! High above, countless black dragons weave through the sky, each one seemingly as massive as a winding mountain range. Even Ji Ning can see the chilling scales of the dragons. Countless dragons frolic and glide in the high sky, each black dragon unleashing bolts of black lightning downward. In an instant, billions of lightning strikes wreak havoc, each bolt causing the heavens and earth to crack, resulting in a scene of cataclysmic destruction.

Meng Po suddenly raised her head

That is the sound of a baby crying

What exactly happened in the underworld? The countless black dragons soaring in the sky and the terrifying sight of billions of black lightning bolts wreaking havoc left Ji Ning in shock. However, he also understood that as a mere mortal soul, it was futile for him to ponder too much. Moreover, at this moment, he had no mind to concern himself with those matters, as his head was pounding with pain

At the moment the restraints dissipated, Ji Ning was both surprised and delighted. He leaped forward and directly jumped into the nearest reincarnation passage, the 'Human Realm Path.' The six paths of reincarnation are located in different positions, and since the Human Realm is the most frequently entered, the Human Realm Path was situated right behind Meng Po, making it the closest to Ji Ning. Naturally, Ji Ning chose to jump down into the nearest one.

In the underworld, the supreme ruler is the Ten Yama Kings, followed closely by the First Judge, Lord Cui, also known as Cui Jue

"Clearly there are countless teams moving in parallel, so why do they seem so few after entering the mist?" Ji Ning was filled with confusion

"How dare you attack the Six Paths of Reincarnation? This is a great sin!" Meng Po shouted in immense anger, transforming into a streak of light and directly flying towards the countless black dragons in the sky. In an instant, a large number of black dragons swiftly surrounded Meng Po in the air.

I do not drink, I do not drink, I do not want to forget, do not forget...

Hmm? Ji Ning looked ahead

Here is ? '' Ji Ning looked ahead in confusion, where there was a narrow path. The shadows of ghosts were sparse; at a glance, only a few dozen spirits were walking in front. In front of the narrow path was a river, its waters murky.

Ah, I have been reincarnated. Ji Ning immediately understood

Ji Ning looked around

I regret it!

Ah! Ah!

The heavens collapsed and the earth shattered, as countless cracks appeared in the surrounding sky. In the distance, the mist disintegrated, revealing numerous lines of souls waiting from the outside world. It was as if a large number of souls around the spatial cracks were directly reduced to ashes. Like bubbles bursting, countless souls continuously dissipated at that moment, each one crying out in agony.

The woman in purple waved her hand

"Not good." Ji Ning looked in terror at the apocalyptic scene that could destroy the world, while simultaneously feeling the invisible restraints dissipate

Meng Po, an apparently ordinary old woman, is holding a bowl of soup, giving it to every passing soul to drink. The souls that drink it become dazed and automatically jump into one of the six realms of reincarnation behind Meng Po.

I am carrying out the order of Lord Cui to escort Brother Ji to the road of the underworld

Heavenly beings, Asuras, humans, animals, hungry ghosts, and hell. Ji Ning gazed at the six unfathomable abysses behind Meng Po.

Yet, despite their struggles, an invisible force controls their advance. When they reach the side of Meng Po, they are further bound by this unseen power to lift the Meng Po soup and drink it. Even amidst their painful screams, they still drink it. After drinking, all deep emotions and profound memories will be forgotten. At that moment, you are no longer you.

Several ghosts around hurriedly jumped into the reincarnation passage

The ghosts in front have each consumed the Meng Po soup, and there are still six ghosts left before it is their turn.

There is a ghost that still attempts to rush towards the farthest "Path of Celestial Beings" to leap.

He lived for only eighteen years in this life, and after sixteen years in the heavenly realm, his counterpart in the heavenly realm would undoubtedly be even stronger. It is likely that the memories of his past life are merely a subsidiary existence.

The ghost soldiers, resembling ox-headed and horse-faced figures, standing beside the team, dared not utter a word upon seeing the woman in purple high above. In fact, one of the ox-headed ghost soldiers specifically followed Ji Ning's side, displaying great courtesy.

The fame is so great that it has long spread across the three realms

Meng Po Soup! Ji Ning looked ahead at Meng Po.

Had I known today would be like this, why did I act as I did back then?" Ji Ning shook his head and looked across the river, "It's truly beautiful.

The flow of time on this Naihe Bridge is even more exaggerated, as one day in the underworld may equate to an unknown number of years passing on the Naihe Bridge

"Haven't you seen the Judge before?" The woman in purple smiled, "Lord Cui controls the Book of Life and Death, and he is the foremost Judge! He personally judged you, so there is no need for an ordinary Judge to make a determination."

Ji Ning walked on the Naihe Bridge and immediately saw a blood pool at the bridgehead, filled with various venomous snakes, poisonous insects, and dog heads, all frantically biting. Most of the ghosts passed by the blood pool without stopping, yet some ghosts approached it and fell directly in, clearly entangled in their sins, unable to escape the torment of the blood pool's bites.

The earth cracked, and the murky waters of the Wangchuan River surged with waves. Once a ghost was touched by the river water, it would immediately wail and dissolve into nothingness. The Naihe Bridge collapsed and broke, causing the ghosts on the bridge to plummet directly into the Wangchuan River. Meanwhile, the six bottomless abysses of the cycle of reincarnation began to tremble, emitting beams of light.

Only the feeling of the transformation of time and space

Go

A black lightning swept over, instantly annihilating the ghosts that had not had time to jump away, including those rushing towards the path of the celestial beings, reducing them to ashes.

"Go ahead, the Naihe Bridge is just ahead." The ox-headed ghost soldier beside him said.

Suddenly feeling a wave of relief, followed immediately by a bone-chilling cold, at the same time, breath flowed from his mouth into his body. Since his death in his previous life, this was the first time Ji Ning had "breathed".

What else can I do? Ji Ning was bound, moving forward step by step against his will

As the breath filled the mouth, a cry was directly emitted.

Not far from the Three Lives Stone, there is a mound of earth and stone known as the Nostalgia Platform. When the spirits pass over this mound, they will arrive beside Meng Po.

By the banks of the Wangchuan River, beautiful flowers bloom abundantly

My neck hurts so much, and my body feels very uncomfortable due to the pressure

Rumbling sound

The human realm is vast and boundless, comprising three thousand great worlds and countless small worlds. The judgment of every being's good and evil deeds during their lifetime must be carried out by the judges, which is an immense workload. Therefore, there are billions of judges in the entire underworld, each responsible for the judgment of the souls from countless worlds after death. Among them, Lord Cui is the leader of all judges, known as the First Judge, who oversees the true register of life and death, wielding power nearly equal to that of the Ten Yama Kings.

Many ghosts are struggling

That must be the legendary River of Forgetfulness. Ji Ning also walked forward.

Ji Ning felt a severe pain in his head, as if something were tugging at it, pulling with all its might

Boom

I was just in the residence of Lord Cui, how did I suddenly find myself in mid-air

How could he know that the flow of time here at the Naihe Bridge is different from that of the outside world

Wow!

On the road to the underworld, a thick fog enveloped the surroundings, and countless spirits marched in parallel, with Ji Ning among them

Not far from the bridge, there stands a crystal stone, subtly shimmering with images, which is the legendary Stone of Three Lives

In the high sky, a woman in purple attire held Ji Ning's hand as they flew together

... ...

He understands
