Otherworldly Desert Dust

Chapter 213 Another Spirit in Heaven



She knew that her views had a profound impact on the minds of those living in this world, and they even overturned their established concepts of life and death.

But as someone who became an Underworld Priest, she had established her own perspective on life and death during her travels. The truth about the world wasn't actually important, what mattered was what she believed in...

"This..." Wu Hen found it a bit hard to agree with.

"It's okay, I'm just sharing my view with you, to give you a clearer understanding of the rules that govern the world. These rules aren't fixed; there are infinite possibilities," Liu Mengying said.

"Then I'm all ears."

"I was born, you were born. You were named Fan Chen because, at the time of our births, we both were stricken with a strange illness that made it difficult to survive to adulthood. Therefore, after we both departed from this world, we were buried together, and a ghost marriage was held."

Wu Hen nodded, indicating that it was the story of the host, Fan Chen, not his own.

"My soul entered the Netherworld and I became a yin officer. Your three souls and seven spirits entered different cycles of reincarnation, with one soul led here to become the current Wu Hen."

"Ah?" Wu Hen was stunned.

Mother Nuwa, for the sake of protecting my little life, how much of a biological signal dose did you give to Liu Mengying? Even a god from the underworld has turned into a love-crazed being with no limits to their intelligence??

"You think it's accidental, acting on a whim, but could it not also be predestined?" Liu Mengying said.

"Guiding a Lost One creates a new life within the Divine End." Liu Mengying revealed the Law of life in Nuwa God End, then asked Wu Hen back, "So before you were born, it also meant that there was a long journey of guidance. Do you know who guided you? Do you know where your past life was lost?"

Wu Hen opened his mouth, suddenly unable to speak.

"The wanderings of the Nuwa God End aren't just a pure crossing of space; she could also get lost in the past, get stranded in the present, and likewise navigate towards the future. Time is but a scale of life itself, so do not doubt that at this moment, you could meet your past life," Liu Mengying said.

Wu Hen didn't know what to say next, sensing that Liu Mengying had seen some things clearer after Hua Chen, no matter how unbelievable they were, that was what she needed to hold on to, or what else would drive her forward?

It was apparent that Liu Mengying felt sorrowful.

After much hardship, she finally became the ethereal deity she had been seeking for two lifetimes, but she also lost the only tie she had in the human world—so close at hand.

Suddenly, Wu Hen realized something.

What Liu Mengying truly needed after Hua Chen wasn't necessarily Death Omen Yuan You, but the little attachment she could never let go of.

And as Fan Chen's existence became lost, as he vanished, Lui Mengying had no more concerns.

It was a burden, yet also a bond, and at the same time, Liu Mengying's own resolve.

In fact, heaven only gave Liu Mengying one test, which was to walk with her earthly thoughts. The day she hardened her heart to sever them was the day she could ascend to Hua Chen. Yet, for five whole years, Liu Mengying hadn't decided to do so, still searching for other ways to ascend.

A Priest is not easy to lose, and Fan Chen was a Priest too. He knew that if he didn't leave, Liu Mengying would be forever trapped in Red Port, destined to become the mortal she feared and dreaded the most.

It's not that being a mortal was so bad.

It was just that her life's experiences were too bitter.

Mortals must experience illness and parting. Since her birth, she had been tormented by sickness, and it was her kindness that earned her such a chance to decide her own fate...

Yet, because of that very kindness, she couldn't sever her ties with the mortal world.

The mortal world, Fan Chen, even the name seemed to be deliberately arranged.

"You have your own path to follow. I am here only to say goodbye to another 'him.' There is much I didn't get the chance to tell him..." Liu Mengying sighed softly.

"Oh, oh, these are your favorites, right? Shall I pack some for you?" Wu Hen immediately began to organize the tributes on the kitchen counter.

The forms of life are different, and Wu Hen found it inappropriate to judge Liu Mengying's viewpoint. In any case, if the matter was resolved satisfactorily, then all was well.

You follow your Ascension, I dream my wandering.

If one day I pass by the Yin Pole Divine Realm, I can even bring some tributes to visit her, how good would that be!

"Thank you." Liu Mengying bowed slightly, giving the salute of a well-bred lady.

"No need to thank me. In the next life... let's be buried together again," Wu Hen said with an insouciant smile.

"Without you, I alone wouldn't have been able to bring down the decaying Yin Pole Heavenly Court; their beliefs are contrary to mine." Liu Mengying stood up, her ice-blue eyes revealing a touch of depth.

"..." Wu Hen felt a chill throughout his body, as though he were being brushed by a beautiful ghost, giving him the shivers!

No way!

She knows about this too??

The might of a Hua Chen Realm powerhouse, fearsome indeed.

Why did it feel like she had transcended supernatural powers and reached an ethereal extreme of commanding fate and seeking cause and effect?

"Do you think it's more likely that past lives exist, or is it more likely that it was just caught by you?" Liu Mengying pointed at Little Dragon who was sound asleep in the kitchen.

The little black dragon, with its tail now showing a Death Omen purplish hue, had no fear of Liu Mengying, a being of Hua Chen Life, as if certain she wouldn't harm Wu Hen.

Upon hearing her words, Wu Hen felt as if the crown of his head was about to pop off.

Damn it, don't say another word!!

I believe you, okay!

Wu Hen finally understood why so many people have unwavering faith in certain beliefs, mainly because the more they talked about it, the more it seemed to make sense!

Who was he before he was delivered to Nuwa God End?

Liu Mengying extended to Wu Hen a very broad concept of life. Fan Chen was merely a reincarnation of his past and present lives, who he was before and who he would become afterward...

What if life itself were boundless yet limitless??

"I should go," Liu Mengying said.

Wu Hen couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Her words were like an evil seed, taking root rapidly in his mind, growing wildly, making Wu Hen begin to question what the world really was, and when everything had started...

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have stolen from you, I sincerely apologize," Wu Hen finally said.

"If you dispel next time, you can also accept my guidance, I will bring you into our Divine Realm," she replied.

"I'd rather Nuwa God End receive me, no need to trouble you with such a grand gesture," Wu Hen said.

In the end, wasn't it just about coming personally to fetch his soul!!

What Yin Pole Divine Realm? In our hometown, we call that the Eighteen Layers of Hell!

Seeing Wu Hen's fear of death, a hint of amusement flashed in Liu Mengying's eyes, and the sadness that had lingered before began to fade away.

In the beliefs of the Yinji Sect, life is about growth, fading away, and reincarnation until one day reaching Yinji Supreme, becoming an eternally immortal being.

Liu Mengying didn't mind whether Wu Hen would die on his journey or not.

This life, he disagreed to go with her.

He might not be so stubborn in the next one.

After all, she had a very long time to wait.

"Hand," Liu Mengying suddenly stood before Wu Hen and commanded, her voice carrying a trace of authority.

Without any hesitation, Wu Hen instinctively extended his hand, allowing her palm to gently press against his, as though she were borrowing strength from him when she was weak before.

It was a Pavlovian response for Wu Hen, but as the cold and smooth palm touched his, he suddenly realized what was happening.

She had already ascended, why would she need to borrow strength?

Just as Wu Hen stubbornly believed that Liu Mengying was about to take him away, he felt a stream of gentle breath flow into his body from his palm. They were like a group of homeless spiritual factors, choosing to reside in his left hand.

"This is a mark," Liu Mengying said.

"You've absorbed Death Omen Yuan You, so you should be able to practice the Yinji Skill. The Yinji Xuan Power I control is the Nine Palace Lotus, a kind of Yin Xuan Fire that is bone-chillingly cold. You should also be able to use it. If your own mana is weak, you can awaken this mark and borrow my power."

"Oh~~ so not only can you borrow my strength, but I can also borrow yours," Wu Hen said.

After leaving this delicate palm mark, Liu Mengying had no more attachments.

As Wu Hen was still examining the little mark, suddenly a wind blew out of nowhere, extinguishing the purple candle flame.

With the light gone, the small room plunged into darkness.

Wu Hen's eyes brightened in the dark, and he instinctively looked towards Liu Mengying, only to find that the female yin officer's figure was no longer there.

On the stove, the tributes remained neatly in place.

The air was still suffused with a hint of fragrance and the smell of candle wax.

Wu Hen looked out the window. There, in the darkening sky, a faintly purple star stood out clearly, like a woman's eyes, gazing at him through the distant fabric of time and space.

"Another heavenly spirit to bless me..." Wu Hen murmured to himself.

Liu Mengying's explanations still seemed too absurd to Wu Hen.

For a while, Wu Hen couldn't figure out if it was because Liu Mengying's insight into life had broadened after her Ascension, or if Nuwa God End's own Laws were causing a cognitive twist in the relatives of the host, making them think of him as the host himself.

Chief Li's perspective made sense.

But Liu Mengying's perspective also seemed plausible.

Perhaps all the myriad things in the world, as well as life and soul, do not follow a single rule.

"The Yin Pole Heavenly Court I accidentally annihilated was also an obstruction in her path to ascending the Righteous Path. Then, I stole the Death Omen Yuan You that originally belonged to her... anyway, we're even!"

"No, that's not right, I count as her benefactor."

"Yes, that's it!"

"Since that's the case, I'll reserve a spot for Meng Ying in my list of loved maids."

"When I get to the Immortals Divine Realm one day, I'll let her and Gong Qin compete to see who is stronger. Whoever wins will get the top spot!"

Thinking this, Wu Hen wobbled back to his room in his casual shorts, wondering what sleep position might induce such beautiful dreams.
