Chapter 249 - 205 The Pitiful Female Priest
Ghost marriage??
What the hell, why is this so messy!@@@@
Could it be that I am not a natural-born ghost of the underworld, but simply bound by some absurd entanglement?
Liu Mengying was resolute, determined to obtain the Death Omen Yuan You, even though her mana was weak and the battlefield ahead could only be described as terrifying.
Wu Hen began to deduce from these snippets of conversation.
Immortal Clan, Yin Clan...
It seemed that during the all-night conversation with the Immortal Gong Qin, he had heard about the matters of the Yin Clan.
What does one turn into after death, and where does one go?
This in itself is something that cannot be proven.
However, in the Otherworldly Dust, there is an extremely small probability that after death, one can achieve another form of eternal life and become an Underworld Priest.
This bears similarities to ancient folk mythology.
Some famous people, after their deaths, take up posts in the underworld, with the most typical examples being Judge Cui, Zhong Kui, King Yanluo...
In Otherworldly Dust, there’s a Yin Pole Divine Realm, which is the Underworld depicted in folk mythology.
Which are more numerous in the world, the living or the dead?
The answer is naturally those who have died.
Therefore, the brilliance of the Yin Pole Divine Realm is significant; all living people could potentially become followers of the Yin Pole Divine Realm in the future, since real eternal life does not yet exist.
The Yin Pole Divine Realm has countless ghosts, and there are also gods who govern these ghosts.
They are known as Underworld Priests.
The Underworld Priests possess vast divine skills and have Yin Temples in many realms, with at least one Priest presiding over each temple.
In some realms where there are many Yin Temples, a Divine Authority Organization will emerge, known as the Yinji Little Heavenly Court. They generally manage hundreds or even thousands of temples and can be considered bureaucrats among the deities of death.
In theory, such an otherworldly Divine Authority Organization would be a gathering of mighty figures. Sending just one of them out could exhaust many powerful civilizations; even faced with top predators of the Desert Dust, they should be able to hold their own!
Overnight, the Divine Authority Organization was gone!
But this guy was too soft by nature. It wasn’t apparent when he was offering warmth and concern on normal days, but upon reaching the battlefield, his true nature revealed itself: timid, cowardly, hardly someone who could accomplish great things!
"Your resentment is so strong, like a female ghost, not at all like a Priest," Wu Hen teased upon noticing not a hint of warmth in Liu Mengying.
That comment nearly ignited rage within Liu Mengying’s chest.
She was already unfortunate enough!
Having accumulated so much virtue in her past life, she became an Underworld Priest but saw no semblance of it, now hardly different from a mortal, resorting to such means to obtain the Death Omen Yuan You...
"My destiny is already extremely adverse. If I succumb to fate, it is only a matter of time before I face eternal doom," Liu Mengying said.
"That’s hard to say, isn’t there a possibility that losing touch with the Yinji Heavenly Court might actually be your greatest fortune?" Wu Hen still voiced this thought.
Through some residual memories of his host, Wu Hen could sense that this female Underworld Priest was not a cruel and atrocious being, fundamentally different from those he had encountered in Yinzhou.
"You..." On hearing these words, Liu Mengying found herself stunned.
Liu Mengying was intelligent; she understood what Wu Hen was trying to convey.
His meaning was, the Yinji Heavenly Court had fallen!
Her losing contact with the Yinji Heavenly Court undoubtedly meant she had escaped a deadly catastrophe!
Liu Mengying had considered this before, but had never truly come to terms with it in her heart. After all, it was a vast and overbearing divine authority organization...
Yet considering the current situation, it seemed highly likely that the Yinji Heavenly Court, ruling over this otherworldly realm, had fallen, and she might be the only surviving Underworld Priest in this otherworld.
"Why are you suddenly acting so strange, like you’re a different person?" Liu Mengying snapped back to reality and murmured to herself.
"You’ve never truly understood me; we’ve spent such a short time together," Wu Hen said cryptically.
Indeed, this was true.
Liu Mengying felt that this man was more like her young male housekeeper; she never had the intention to understand him.
"Hmph, let’s survive today before discussing anything else," Liu Mengying turned away, unwilling to continue this meaningless conversation with him.
Wu Hen also focused ahead. It was evident that many forces, keen to curry favor with the Yinji Sect, were providing escorts voluntarily, significantly reducing the pressure on their advance.
"Little Yi, it looks like you’ve wiped out someone’s headquarters," Wu Hen, having nothing better to do, started conversing with Little Yi.
Little Yi adopted an indifferent, none-of-my-business attitude.
To him, the Yinji Heavenly Court didn’t ring a bell, only remembering that during that fight, it had blunted its sword edge quite a bit!
