Liu Feng was able to move only because he had become a person under punishment and no longer had the instinct to shout.
"Oh? No, that's not right either. I can give you a chance too."
Li Wei had already arrived in front of Liu Feng, whose face was deathly pale.
"I'm giving you a chance to get through that door."
Li Wei raised an eyebrow and pointed to the dark door sealed by countless chains.
"Behind the door lies life, and after passing through it, you will receive a baptism, be reborn, transcend the ordinary and become a pure and transcendent being, where the evils of the world will not accumulate into karmic fire, all evils will not invade, and cause and effect will not be punished."
"how?"
Li Wei smiled, his smile sincere.
However, not only Liu Feng, an ordinary person, but all the other heroes who had become spirits, with their own legends and unwavering wills, instinctively resisted this choice.
Because of... fear.
As if he had thought of something, Li Wei added, "And this transcendence is not just a transcendence limited to one world, but a true transcendence of the entire cycle of reincarnation and the infinitely vast universe."
"What... um? Someone wants to come in?"
"Fine, since he wants to undergo the baptism of transcendence, I can give him a chance."
Li Wei snapped his fingers.
Then everyone saw a towering giant descend from a vortex that suddenly appeared in mid-air. Of course, this was not the person's actual height, but rather a manifestation of a deity.
"I am Beelzebub, one of the seven seats of original sin under the Lord's command, and I have been ordered to guard the land of cleansing!"
"Guards, since you have entered this place, it means you are about to undergo a baptism of sin!"
"I ask you, are you not going to back down!"
"Enough with the nonsense! I'm here to transcend, so why would I back down in the face of battle!" the towering giant roared, his voice clearly male.
"I am the Lone General, one of the Seven Heavenly Star Generals, and a member of the Three Thousand Divine Spirits Ranking. I have come to this place to make my name!"
"I, Beelzebub, will fight as one of the seven representatives!"
PS:
PAS: I don't really want to write a second update today. I had a lot of nosebleeds this morning, went to the hospital, and when I came back, I suddenly felt so tired. Oh my god, this is the first time I've had so much blood. It felt a bit cool...
The 300th palm suddenly became a drama queen.
"The great demon Beelzebub, is it? Come, let me weigh the power of the legendary Seven Sins under the Sovereign, and see if it is as formidable as its name suggests!"
"Hmph, how could you possibly fathom the power of a sovereign through us!"
A tall, blurry black shadow appeared in front of the colossal giant in an instant, and everyone finally saw his face clearly. He was a black ram-headed demon thousands of meters tall, wearing a black-style armor, with burning black flames at the tips of his feet, and his armor was covered with unknown red divine runes.
Behind the armor was a large symbol, or rather, a character, that was both complex and extremely simple, yet also incredibly intricate.
It is said that this is the title of the ruler. If you understand this title, you will know what these seven great demons, the masters of the place of original sin baptism, are called.
Knowing a name may not seem like a big deal to ordinary beings, but for ordinary gods, it means that they can bestow the power contained in their true name upon others. This power may be useless to people of the same level, but it is a powerful ally to those who are lower in rank than the holder of the true name, and it is no exaggeration to say that it can be a trump card to turn the tide of battle.
The being who can command these seven great demons is the one who holds the land of sinful baptism and is known as the ruler. His status is evident. If one's ability is insufficient or lacks even a little, the seven great demons will not obey his orders. In fact, he will not even be in charge of such a forbidden land that is related to the transformation of gods.
Yes, this Cleansing Ground is listed as one of the forbidden areas in the Great World of Reincarnation. Even gods cannot easily enter it, because if one fails in the Cleansing Ground without some superb means, one will be imprisoned here for eternity until time is used to atone for the sins committed on one's body, and only then can one be released from prison.
Those who can ascend to the level of gods are generally ruthless and decisive in killing. How many sins have they committed? It's rare for them to be imprisoned for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
The souls bound by chains around you belong to the gods. This is a place beyond the concept of time, where countless people from different parts of the long river of time come to be tempered.
Once upon a time, the offspring of an extremely ancient god or demon was imprisoned in this place. They attempted to seize it back through forceful means, but after a whirlwind battle, they never returned. This incident once caused a sensation throughout the entire Samsara World.
Later, there was another arrogant, super-strong individual who ranked among the top ten of the Three Thousand Gods List and claimed that he would kill the Sovereign. However, before he could even fight, he was mysteriously killed shortly after the news spread. There was no sound during the process, and his relatives only discovered his death when they went to his place of residence.
And at the place where he fell, there was a message written in his blood:
The Longevity Path, one of the Six Paths of Reincarnation under the Sovereign's command, has come to kill the one who humiliated the Sovereign's glory!
The words written in the blood of that god are still etched in the strange void. Even if the place of dwelling is destroyed and the space-time around that passage is erased, not a single word of that passage can be removed.
This incident caused a sensation throughout the entire cycle of reincarnation.
First there were the Seven Seats of Original Sin, and now, a completely unheard-of Six Paths of Reincarnation has emerged. Moreover, it is not the so-called Six Paths of Reincarnation that is familiar to the world, but rather the Longevity Path, which is somewhat unknown.
Such miraculous and wondrous methods of creation are astonishing. Besides the speculation and apprehension about the path to immortality, there is even more awe for the mysterious and unpredictable ruler.
From that time onward, the Cleansing Grounds were designated as a forbidden zone. Despite numerous attempts by deities to undergo the cleansing, very few were successfully baptized.
Therefore, if one could know the true name of the ruler and gain his favor to grant the right to use it, then roaming freely throughout the heavens would be nothing more than a dream, except for being wary of the most ancient divine and demonic forces and forbidden zones.
……
The great battle between Beelzebub and the Lone Queen was about to break out. Various abilities far exceeding the norm clashed continuously. If this were outside, it would be enough to describe the battle as darkening the sun and moon and causing the sky to fall. Everyone present had no doubt that this level of power was enough to shatter the earth.
What's amazing is that despite the intensity of the battle, with aftershocks powerful enough to shatter countless mountains, they were unaffected. Or rather, the impact had already reached them, but they remained unharmed.
The battle lasted for more than half an hour, which can almost be described as very fast. The towering giant was at a disadvantage from the beginning and continued to retreat as time went by. Now, it was in a sorry state and had been beaten back from its giant form to a humanoid form the size of an ordinary person.
"Damn it, I will be back!" the Queen General roared.
"Hmph, Cleansing Land, you're so weak, you should cultivate for another ten million years!"
Beelzebub scoffed, "Again? Do you think you can escape from here? Just accept your fate!"
"Chains of Original Sin, imprison him for me!"
With a whoosh, thousands upon thousands of chains flew toward the Lone Queen General. At that moment, another vortex appeared in the sky, and a gray, massive hand, carrying boundless power, deflected all the incoming chains, attempting to pull the Lone Queen General back.
"You dare to challenge the rules set by the Sovereign?!"
Not only Beelzebub, but at this moment the demons of the other six deadly sins also roared in anger.
"Those who defy the Dominator shall die!"
Just then, a strange, wicked idea suddenly popped into Li Wei's head.
So he muttered a few words to himself—
Beelzebub exclaimed in shock, "Damn it! What an incredibly powerful being this is! Even the Overlord can't compare to it!"
Another voice was equally surprised: "What!? There is actually someone in this world more powerful than the Ruler?"
Another voice said, "Unbelievable! If a god, whose rule surpasses even the most powerful deities, were to invade this place, we would be utterly helpless..."
A third, horrified voice exclaimed: "Terrifying, horrifying!"
Upon hearing this, the Queen laughed heartily: "This is the strongest of my clan. So-called rulers are nothing more than this. The laws of rulership shall be abolished today!"
……
Looking at the somewhat astonished crowd, Li Wei shrugged and said, "Actually, I don't know why the tone suddenly turned so skewed."
As he spoke, Li Wei stroked his chin: "No, just thinking about the plot later on makes me feel pretty excited."
"It's been a long time since I've been here."
Then, as if he had forgotten something, Li Wei glanced at Liu Feng.
"Huh? How come you're still alive?"
"Then you will die soon."
After saying that, with a snap, a unique chain pierced through Liu Feng's dog head. The remaining life from the twelve trials was of no use and was directly annihilated on the spot.
After Liu Feng's death, everyone returned from that world.
For a moment, the air was completely silent...
PS:
PAS: Goodnight everyone...
Before we knew it, three hundred chapters had arrived...
Chapter 301 The time for the performance has come, let's offer thunderous applause!
The place of cleansing—
The seven great demons gathered together, looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Gluttony, why do you think the boss wants us to let them go? Doesn't that damage his own prestige?" Greed asked.
Gluttony shook his head: "You know what kind of personality the boss has. It's not just unpredictable. You've seen him wandering around here, and sometimes he even takes his own head off to play with."
"If you can understand his moves, is he still the boss?" Arrogance rolled his eyes at Greed.
He roared furiously, "Why worry about so much? All I know is that after this wave from the boss, there will definitely be a lot of fat melon seed gods and demons coming to get beaten up. I haven't had a good fight in ages, I'm practically getting moldy from staying here."
"Come on, the boss is already very lenient by allowing us to have clones to guard the area normally and only switch with the main body when necessary. You're already annoyed by the occasional delay?" Lust replied. She was also the only female among the demons present, dressed in revealing black leather armor and with long, dark gray hair, in a mature and sophisticated form.
"I really envy the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Eight Gates of Truth, and those bastards from the Supreme Judgment," Greed muttered.
Gluttony rolled his eyes. "The Six Paths of Reincarnation usually have to sit in the Pool of Reincarnation, and the Eight Gates of Truth spend all day in the Gate of Truth, responsible for projecting their sub-gates into various worlds. As for the Supreme Judgment, well, I don't know who those people are."
Arrogantly, he said indifferently, "Supreme Judgment? Let me tell you, that's a life form created by the boss himself."
"What!?"
Upon hearing this, all five were shocked. "The boss created his own life; no wonder he's called the Supreme Judgment."
Arrogantly, he nodded. "Those people are in charge of punishments and adjudicating the Great World of Reincarnation. However, as far as I know, they haven't had the opportunity to carry out any executions over the years."
"Huh? Why?" the furious man asked, puzzled. "If it were me, I'd be looking for someone to fight every day!"
"Isn't it all because of you bastards who stole kills without permission?" the arrogant man said speechlessly. "I remember that Changshengdao guy alone chopped off dozens of people himself."
"Comparing is pointless," said the lazy man listlessly. "I'd rather have a good sleep."
"Sleep your ass off and get to work!"
……
Outside a certain city in the F/A instance world—
Seeing that the crowd was unresponsive, Li Wei tapped his ear and said, "Why don't you all just kill yourselves?"
"Actually, committing suicide is quite dignified."
"When most people accidentally fall into a swamp, don't they give up and choose to sink to the bottom?"
"Why don't you all just go with the flow?"
Li Wei chuckled and said, "In that case, I can give you a back door in the afterlife, okay?"
After a moment of silence, Chiron tentatively asked, "Does Your Excellency mean that the Underworld is also under your control?"
"As far as I know, that's Hades' territory, isn't it?"
"Huh? You mean my husky?"
"..."
After a while, seeing that nothing had happened, Luo Shuyuan exclaimed in shock, "Insulting such gods and demons, and yet there was no divine punishment or misfortune?!"
While people might occasionally call gods trash or God an ant, these insults are usually unpunishable unless they are directed at a specific deity. However, if a particular deity is insulted—especially by powerful and ancient gods—they will often face divine retribution. This is the dignity that these ancient gods and demons, having attained the highest position, have inscribed into the rules of the world.
Only a deity can speak in this way.
Furthermore, the more powerful a deity is, the wider the range of their perceptions; within that range, they can hear any living being uttering their name.
Could it be that... this place is beyond Hades's sensory range?
Luo Shuyuan suddenly thought of this possibility, and an idea began to stir within him, which he really wanted to try.
Fortunately, he stopped himself from having that idea.
The myth of Hades, the god of the underworld, is found in countless worlds, making him a first-rate giant among gods and demons.
After witnessing such a momentous event, almost everyone's brains were still reeling. Even Liu Hongshan, despite the death of his younger brother, was in a daze.
Capture the stars and seize the moon, shatter the universe.
That is true, a magnificence that only gods possess.
