Ghostly Domain, Empty

Yellow Springs Land.

The wisps of yellow smoke evoke the long river of time, revealing endless cause and effect.

One by one, the illusory shadows of time are extracted.

In this endless Gray Mist World, all sound has fallen silent.

The gray road ended, and no one could return from its end.

Countless creatures in the gray mist were utterly terrified.

"Are there such powerful beings among the creatures of the white mist?"

"No... it's impossible..."

"He has clearly vanished..."

Numerous Supreme Being opened their mouths.

A loud voice rang out:

"We cannot contend with you; we are merely resurrected shadows of the past. Let us return to our own historical coordinates and retreat immediately!"

Instantly, the vast, boundless Gray Mist World receded.

Submerged in the long river of time, it returned to the original history of that Gray Mist World, never to reappear.

In this vast expanse of time and space, only a handful of supreme powerhouses remain!

Celestial Master, Supreme Chess Master, Supreme Buttock Master, Giant Turtle, Ancient Desolate Giant Dog, etc...

Seeing this, the Spacetime Worm was completely dumbfounded.

He himself awakened an era, an entire timeline... and it was suppressed.

"At the end of all roads, who is it?"

"A single, gentle word, and the gray road could never return..."

The Spacetime Worm trembled, trembled completely.

Does such a thing exist in this world?

At that moment, the Ancient Desolate giant dog turned to look at the Spacetime Worm.

The Spacetime Worm panicked immediately, and it said in fear:

"No... don't kill me..."

"I have sent a message to the ruined and lost lands. The gray mist will come looking for me. Keep me here; I am the ancestor of a race. Keeping me will be useful to you!"

It is pleading, it is wailing!

However, the black, Ancient Desolate giant dog raised its paw and directly annihilated spacetime, completely suppressing the Spacetime Worm in the Yellow Springs Land.

All the gray fog has vanished!

"Weak, too weak... this Emperor will suppress an entire era!"

That black, Ancient Desolate giant dog was full of vigor and ambition.

"You damn dog, stop talking! Look at your future, what a pathetic state you've become! You're weaker than even that bug from before..."

But that "Buttocks Venerable" refers to the large black dog in the Yellow Springs Land.

"Woof, you're getting cocky!"

The black Ancient Desolate giant dog went straight for the bite.

The Buttocks Venerable immediately covered his rear end and fled, shouting:

"You damn dog, be gentle..."

The man and the dog gradually disappeared into time and space, and peace returned.

At this moment, even the figures of the Celestial Master, the Chess Venerable, and the Giant Turtle dimmed.

Because, in the Yellow Springs Land, the great black dog's Dao fire was almost unable to hold on.

The yellow smoke is about to dissipate.

"Have we all been reborn...?"

The Celestial Master looked at Lin Jiuzheng, as if whispering something.

"In this life, have we perished before reaching the end of the road?"

The chess Supreme who stood on the giant tortoise seemed somewhat regretful.

They are all phantoms plucked from the sands of time, existing in some unknown era, before the final battle, before they had died...

They're all dead.

The man standing on the Heibai checkerboard suddenly spoke.

He looked at the Heibai in the Yellow Springs Land, his eyes seemingly filled with deep contemplation.

"Reincarnation cannot save all living beings; it cannot overcome that hurdle..."

He whispered something, then turned and left.

The Celestial Master, the Supreme Chess Master, and others also left.

In that instant, in the Yellow Springs Land, the big black dog finally couldn't hold on any longer, and its Daoist fire went out.

The yellow smoke stopped immediately.

The piece of yellow paper was only a corner the size of a fingernail, showing a slightly burnt yellow hue.

It was as if it had never been burned at all!

This place has returned to peace.

The earth-shattering battle that just took place seemed as if it had never happened at all.

It felt like a grand dream.

"Gray Mist World, Ten Spirits and ten deities of white mist... I witnessed mythology, I saw the age of mythology... Haha, hahaha..."

Venerable Tian Yue has gone mad!

Having witnessed one terrifying shock after another, the Venerable actually went mad.

"Lord of Reincarnation, Lord of Reincarnation, Lord of Reincarnation!"

At this moment, the fake King Yan also seemed to have lost his mind, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly to the Heibai in the Yellow Springs Land, until his head bled!

"So... that's your origin... We are nothing but ants, yet we dared to challenge dragons... How laughable..."

Granny Jiang's face turned ashen, and she sat down on the ground, dumbfounded.

The Complete World Venerable was dumbfounded, utterly dumbfounded. His mouth was crooked, and he was drooling without even realizing it.

"The Brahma Venerable was eaten... eaten... oh, delicious, so delicious..."

He would sometimes laugh foolishly, and sometimes weep bitterly... His faith had crumbled!

As Brahma Venerable's most devout follower, his Dao heart and will were directly shattered and collapsed.

"So... the yellow smoke is this strong..."

Lin Jiuzheng spoke with a complicated expression.

By lighting yellow smoke, one can extract a fleeting image of time from the years that are relevant to oneself and bring it to life in the present.

This is nothing short of a miracle.

"Big Black, what is the origin of this yellow paper?"

Jiang Li, on the other hand, was extremely curious.

The big black dog shook its head and said:

"Even this Emperor don't know... all of this involves a deeper secret."

"This Emperor ago, I went to find my master, but I got lost... When I awoke, I was already in the present world..."

"Perhaps only Sister Peach and the others know some of the truth about all of this..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li and the others nodded in agreement.

This must involve some ancient secret, but their current strength... is far too weak; even if they knew it, it would be useless.

"It was all his doing."

The Emperor of Black and White sighed deeply, a newfound confidence shining in his eyes.

"That being who freed us from the cycle of cause and effect has already laid out the grand scheme of things for eternity; all we need to do is strive for self-improvement."

"In this life, we must be stronger than in the last!"

He was carefree and bold, turning around and stepping into the cycle of reincarnation!

At this moment, throughout the mortal Yang Realm, no one dared to stop them.

Everyone was watching.

The Bridge of Helplessness, the cycle of reincarnation... everything that has happened today can be said to have originated from this.

Finally, Heibai took a step and stepped onto the Bridge of Helplessness.

At this moment, the mysterious world connected by the Bridge of Helplessness seemed to boil over.

Heibai stood on the Bridge of Helplessness. In an instant, the River of Oblivion surged, the stone bridge trembled slightly, and a joyous sound seemed to rise from the endless underworld.

On the stone bridge, an old woman appeared, carrying a soup pot. Seeing the Heibai, tears welled up in her old eyes!

"Greetings, Ruler!"

She knelt down and bowed.

In addition, two figures, one in black and one in white, also appeared.

Black and White Impermanence!

"The Ruler returns... The Underworld will rise!"

"The Supreme Return... Reincarnation Reappears!"

They also knelt down at the same time.

Heibai walked slowly, his hands behind his back.

He saw the River of Oblivion rushing forth.

He saw the Three Lives Stone standing silently.

He saw that the underworld was empty.

In the cycle of reincarnation, a lingering thought seemed to drift in and land on the Emperor of Black and White.

That was left over from the Heibai of a past life.

Regret and Heibai merge in an instant.

At this moment, the cycle of reincarnation is boiling!

The Lord of Reincarnation has reappeared, and reincarnation has truly been revived.

He stood silently for a long time amidst Heibai and the cycle of reincarnation.

He turned and looked towards the Ghost Realm.

Standing in the cycle of reincarnation, he saw endless ghost realms, rampant with Resentment Hunger, where countless ghosts, from the moment of their birth, had already been destined for a tragic fate.

He seemed to hear the pain and wails of countless ghosts in the ghost realm.

"I ask Heaven, is there such a thing as reincarnation?"

"Reincarnation begins, the realm of ghosts is emptied, but waiting for a thousand years only brings suffering!"

"If reincarnation truly exists, I Curse it with my life!"

Countless ghosts once waited, once firmly believed in the ancient legend—that one day reincarnation would appear and grant them new life.

Then, in the waiting, despair sets in, ultimately leading to distortion and madness...

The realm of ghosts is like a sinful domain, where all ghosts are born burdened with sin!

The Emperor of Black and White slowly spoke, saying:

"From this day forward, the cycle of reincarnation begins anew, starting from the realm of ghosts and descending upon all the heavens."

Descend upon the heavens!

This means... the cycle of reincarnation will begin anew.

"As the Ruler commands!"

Black and White Impermanence stood up and spoke. Black Impermanence said:

"All the ghosts and demons are sinful souls; the oil cauldron will never be empty!"

However, Heibai shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and left, saying:

"Ghosts and demons are innocent."

Upon hearing this, Old Woman Meng and the Black and White Impermanence were both taken aback.

"My Ruler... Reincarnation is predetermined. If the sins of the demons are pardoned, what will become of karma?"

Old Woman Meng spoke in a low voice.

Heibai, however, calmly stated:

"I will bear all the consequences, I will shoulder all the sins!"

Black Impermanence and White Impermanence were also shocked, and said:

"My Ruler, such a price... is too high!"

Heibai said:

"I have traversed the realm of ghosts and seen countless ghosts."

Every ghost has longed for reincarnation, for rebirth... but reincarnation is like a lie, never fulfilled...

"Sinking into despair, going mad in hopelessness... Every ghost is a tragic tale of helplessness."

"I once thought that reincarnation could save all living beings... but it has caused countless ghosts in the underworld to suffer endless torment."

Heibai spoke each word with unwavering resolve:

"All sins are mine, demons fill the sky!"

"I will enter the cycle of reincarnation, turning into dust, trampled upon by the world; born as pigs and dogs, slaughtered by the world..."

"Though I suffer countless calamities and endless torment, I will not return; though I may be condemned to eternal damnation, my sins will not be emptied, and neither Heibai will be born!"

He waved his hand, and in an instant, reincarnation descended, and countless Bridges of Bridge of Helplessness appeared across the endless ghostly land!

At this moment, the Ghost Realm was in an uproar!

That's the real Bridge of Helplessness!

"No... how could this be..."

"Reincarnation appears, reincarnation repeats, haha, hahahaha..."

Countless ghosts stepped onto the Bridge of Helplessness.

They all return to the cycle of reincarnation.

But endless sins and endless karma converge in the cycle of reincarnation.

In the cycle of reincarnation, the Heibai figure stands alone, burdened by too many and too heavy sins, almost falling into the cycle of reincarnation!

"Heibai!"

"Yellow Springs Land!" Jiang Li cried out.

Jiang Li's eyes were filled with shock.

The choice between Heibai... surprised everyone.

Reincarnated, yet choosing to bear the sins and karma for the entire Ghost Realm!

Heibai turned to look at Jiang Li and said:

"No need to regret it, we will meet again someday."

Then, his gaze fell on the two ghosts, Heavenly Darkness and Mingzhi.

At this moment, Mingzhi had also transformed into the Yellow Springs Body, because when the big black dog lit the yellow paper just now... he was also affected by the fumes!

"Reincarnation has begun, but human resources are scarce. You two may enter reincarnation and become King Yan, the King of Hell."

The Heibai figures whispered, and with a wave of their hands, the mark of reincarnation landed on Heavenly Darkness and Ming Zhi!

As Heavenly Darkness fell, I was utterly shocked and excited!

They... gained the approval of the Lord of Reincarnation?

Entering the cycle of reincarnation, becoming King Yan, the King of Hell?!

What an incredible fortuitous opportunity!

Then, Heibai turned around and looked at the endless suffering that awaited him in the cycle of reincarnation. He simply smiled and said:

"That's excellent."

"When I return, I may be stronger than in my previous life."

"In this life... perhaps I can follow behind that person and fight longer, so I won't die so quickly..."

He has fallen into the cycle of reincarnation.

He will become pigs and dogs, slaughtered by men; he will become blister beetles, pecked at by birds; he will turn into dust, trampled by thousands...

That is the sin of the entire ghost realm, the calamity of countless ghosts.

That was the cause and effect he chose.

Today, there are ghosts and ghosts in the sky.
