Chen Qing had actually been wary of this person long ago, but so much time had passed that he had completely overlooked him!
He was an old man, looking frail and thin, dressed very plainly, an old man who seemed harmless no matter how you looked at him.
But Chen Qing knew how dangerous this old man was, and he had a grudge against him because the last time they met, he had snatched food from the old man's mouth!
" King Chujiang?"
The Heavenly Secrets Cave opened, but the other side led to a place even more dangerous than the one behind him. It was pitch black, filled with the roars of countless evil spirits, and almost all eyes were fixed on Chen Qing, making Chen Qing's scalp tingle.
He didn't understand why the Heavenly Secrets Cave had opened the Yin-Yang Road, but he knew why those evil spirits hated him so much!
By establishing Underworld in Jiangnan, he blocked the ability of the Yin-Yang Road to absorb the souls of the living in Jiangnan and refused entry to evil spirits. This was a blatant disregard for the most basic interests of the powerful figures in the Yin-Yang Road. For the lower-level evil spirits, such an opportunity was something they could not enjoy, so they naturally harbored resentment.
In the past, all living souls were dragged into the Yin-Yang Road to suffer torment, and those who survived were reduced to ferocious ghosts like wild beasts. But one day, you are suddenly told that people don't have to suffer all of this after death. How would those who suffered all of this before think?
Chen Qing knew that once he stepped onto the Yin-Yang Road, he would become the target of all evil spirits' mad desire to tear him apart, so he always tried to avoid the Yin-Yang Road. But he never expected that one day the Yin-Yang Road would take the initiative to find him.
"Young man," the old man grinned, "What did I tell you before? I'll be coming to find you soon!"
Chen Qing: "."
" Chen Qing, be careful!" Heavenly Secrets, who had just stepped inside, froze and shouted, "Back off!"
"Oh, isn't this one of the leaders from our Development Team?" The old patriarch grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, his terrifying aura growing even stronger. "What a coincidence!"
Chen Qing froze, instantly recognizing the other person's identity.
This is not the King Chujiang I remember, but a modern person who has taken over the identity of King Chujiang!
King Chujiang is one of the Twelve Kings of the Ghost Domain in the Second Tier the dungeon. However, Chen Qing is well aware that although the Ghost Domain, like the Dragon Palace, is a Second Tier dungeon, its essence is different from that of the Dragon Palace.
The Dragon Palace is a gatekeeper scenario, a player-run dungeon in the second version. It was the protagonist and the pinnacle of the second version. However, in the later stages, the Dragon Palace became insignificant because it was a low-level force that rose to prominence only in the later stages of the decline of the Earth Spirit. The Ghost Domain Realm is different. The Ghost Domain is a phased dungeon that was opened in the second version and has accompanied players all the way to the latest seventh version.
It's a late-game power, and King Chujiang is one of the early-game bosses in Ghost Domain. But if the other party is a player, Chen Qing is unsure of their strength level!
Because the Ghost Domain is a place where infinite possibilities exist.
"So... you recognized me immediately and then set a trap?" Chen Qing looked at the other person with suspicion.
"Hahaha!" King Chujiang laughed loudly, "Back then, King of Qin was indeed a bastard. He actually thought of changing history at the end of the Samsara, unifying demons and human dynasties, and completely preventing the arrival of the ancient times. He almost suffocated me!"
"Do you know how much I gave up to be the first to awaken? All for the sake of seizing the destiny of the mortal realm!"
How much did you give up to wake up immediately?
Chen Qing gasped; the other person's short sentence revealed a chilling truth.
This guy, just as I thought, isn't the simple King Chujiang!
The Twelve Kings of the Ghost Domain are demons from the second version, the vanguard of the Ghost Domain Realm forces. Before the depths of the Ghost Domain Realm were opened, these Ghost King, who invaded the human world ahead of time, led evil spirits and occupied half of the Central Plains dynasty. At that time, characters such as Ghost Child and King Xiang shone brightly, even before the Dragon Palace.
When the opponent appeared immediately, he remained calm. After all, he now possessed the power of a true dragon, and the Dragon Palace's level was above that of the original Ghost Domain. Based on the comparison of combat power, the original Twelve Kings of the Ghost Domain, before obtaining sufficient fortune, were completely incomparable to the Dragon King. Princess Ao Zhen of the West Sea was a top-tier combatant below the Dragon King, and he himself was not inferior to the opponent in terms of attributes.
But if the other party isn't King Chujiang, but something deeper, then things will be troublesome!
"You've given up your power and chosen King Chujiang again?" Chen Qing frowned.
"Otherwise what?" the old man grinned. " Samsara is a gradual process, and no one can change that rule. It's a rule set by you developers. We can't do anything about it. If we were to awaken normally, we'd have to wait another 40,000 years, until all the creatures in this world have evolved to a certain level, before it's our turn."
"But everything is subject to change. Just like a power like the King of Qin, who can delay or even prevent our arrival if they want to rebel. The Dragon Palace in the Second Tier, which nearly divided Dragon Palace world with the Heavenly Python, has already figured out how to enslave humans. If given another Samsara, they might also be able to control the world. Once they control the world, the example of the King of Qin of Qin will prove that you lowly creatures really can rebel!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing immediately laughed, "So you were forced to come out of seclusion early?"
"We had no choice," the old man chuckled. "We can't give him a second chance, especially since that kid managed to escape our control. We can't just sit here and wait to be killed every time, can we?"
"I promised King Chujiang more, making him willingly offer himself to me. I was still waiting for the arrival of the primordial ancient times, but I never expected to run into you, kid!"
"From the first time you uttered some of King Chujiang's taboos in front of that foolish human prince, I knew you were a time traveler. And from the moment you showed no suspicion towards me, I knew you were the new Reincarnator suddenly appeared and allowed King of Qin to escape!"
Chen Qing: "."
"Actually," the old man chuckled sinisterly, approaching Chen Qing step by step, "At first, I marked you only to find the King of Qin of Qin's whereabouts. But as I got to know you better, and after what you did in Jiangnan, my opinion of you completely changed. You are a more threatening person than the King of Qin, but at the same time, you are also a more valuable person than the King of Qin!"
"Oh?" Chen Qing looked at the other party warily and sneered, "Such a high evaluation?"
"Of course it's superior!" the old man laughed. "You're a later player, and each later player has access to version information we don't know. Your so-called ' Divine Path Style ' style must be something we pioneers didn't know before, and in my opinion, it's enough to change the current situation!"
" The King of Qin failed because he ultimately lacked the efficiency to govern the lower classes. Your Divine Path Style is different; you have the ability to distribute faith, enough to Fusion humans and demons. Of course, you will still have your own contradictions, but your chances of success are greater than the King of Qin's. That's why I say you are very dangerous. Most importantly, you can control Samsara alone. Controlling Samsara allows you to make the lower classes serve you to the death. Using the concept of blessings, you can eliminate the fear of death among your subordinates. It's truly a perfect system."
"So let's cooperate, newcomer. Your strength isn't enough; you can't take this cake by yourself. Cooperate with me, and I can make you one of us and let you obtain what the King of Qin has always dreamed of!"
"That sounds tempting." Chen Qing looked at the other person. "How do I know if the conditions you're offering are true or false? Besides, what's your status among those pioneers? What makes you think you can give me a position? I've heard that there's a fixed number of people in each group!"
"You have the right to make us eliminate a weakling!" King Chujiang looked at Chen Qing: "As for whether I can do it, you don't need to worry." As he spoke, a divine image appeared behind him, instantly making Chen Qing's heart sink to the extreme!
The other party was right; King Chujiang was merely a demonic body he was temporarily using. The true power the other party wielded was indeed more troublesome than imagined.
It was a Dharma image that was not large, but behind it was imprinted the yin and yang Samsara of the entire world, and the alternation of the future!
As the designer, Chen Qing naturally recognized the origin immediately.
The Venerable of the Buddha Kingdom, representing the past, present, and future Buddhas, is one of the ultimate powers in the final version!
And the one who can represent the hell guarded by the Buddha Kingdom is none other than this statue before us: Ksitigarbha Future Buddha!
