The Heavens: Thousands of Households Starting from Number One in the World

A magnificent and huge city, the wide streets in the center of the city are like a boiling pot, with people talking and bustling. The crowds are surging like the tide, coming and going in an endless stream; the shops are densely packed on the street.

Meng Jing stood quietly in a quiet alley, his eyes like a thread that penetrated through time, tightly fixed on the middle-aged man in front of him.

At this moment, Meng Cheng's eyes were filled with complex and inexplicable emotions. He looked at Meng Jing, this son who was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

Meng Cheng already knew everything from Meng Jing's narration. The shocking information was like a surging tide, hitting his heart wave after wave.

Meng Jing destroyed the Dou Qi world and captured Tian Dao. Each piece of news was like a blockbuster bomb, causing huge waves in his calm heart.

Meng Jing looked at his father with a little emotion in his heart, and then slowly said: "Father, you have a general understanding of this world." His voice was as calm as the water in a deep pool, but with a hint of imperceptible expectation, "Then which path would you like to choose?"

Since Meng Jing came to the human capital of Nanzhanbuzhou, he carefully released Meng Cheng from his sea of ​​consciousness. Then, like a patient guide, he told him everything he knew without reservation and carefully planned two completely different paths for Meng Cheng.

The first way is to continue fighting in these three realms according to past memories.

The second way is to enter the six reincarnations and start all over again. This seems to be a kind of liberation and a new life, but the price is extremely heavy - the father-son relationship with Meng Jing will be broken. However, Meng Jing also promised that he would give some spiritual benefits to Meng Cheng in the future reincarnation.

Meng Cheng's eyes slowly moved to the distance. The bustling streets seemed to have endless magic, attracting his eyes. There were a lot of people, and every noisy sound was like the beating pulse of life, full of vitality and energy. A trace of yearning gradually emerged in his eyes, just like a traveler who had been trekking in the desert for a long time and saw an oasis, looking forward to it.

"There is always a world beyond the world." Meng Cheng sighed softly, his voice full of wonder for the unknown world, "I didn't expect that there is such a vast world outside the Douqi Continent... The Three Realms? It's really curious!"

"You've given me an extremely difficult choice!" There seemed to be a flame dancing in the depths of Meng Cheng's eyes, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to his memories of the past few decades. Those memories, whether laughter or tears, whether glory or humiliation, have been deeply imprinted in the depths of his soul. Giving up all of this now is like peeling a precious bone from one's own flesh and blood. It's easier said than done.

Moreover, he would forget the person in front of him and his own blood, even though the other person's blood might not really be his.

Meng Jing said slowly: "Everything in the world has its own gains and losses, father. The path of cultivation is a dialogue with one's own heart, and one should never care about the interference of external forces. The true meaning of cultivation lies in cultivating one's own heart!"

"Cultivate the mind?" Meng Cheng murmured to himself.

Meng Jing gently patted his father's shoulder, as if to give him some strength, or as a silent comfort: "Father, you don't have to rush to give me an answer. You have time, and I have time too. Maybe it's too hasty to ask for an answer now. Why don't you walk around in this world first, and feel the joys and sorrows of this world. Maybe then, the answer will naturally appear in your heart."

"Choose to keep your memories in this world, or choose to start over!"

……

The Heavenly Palace is suspended above the Nine Heavens.
The scenery of Yaochi is picturesque, with fairies dancing lightly, cranes soaring in the sky, white mist lingering, and colorful lights falling, just like a fairyland on earth.

In this peaceful scene, two gods in shining armor are moving steadily towards Yaochi. They are Li Jing and Yang Jian, two important generals holding great power in the heaven.

"Li Jing greets the God of Justice!" Li Jing spoke first and saluted Yang Jian. "Greetings to the Heavenly King!" Yang Jian responded expressionlessly.

Li Jing said nothing more, turned around and continued to walk forward. At this moment, Yang Jian suddenly said, "Wait a minute, Heavenly King!"

Li Jing turned around suspiciously, looked at the man in black robe and silver armor, and asked in a deep voice: "I wonder what the God of Justice wants?"

Yang Jian smiled slightly, walked slowly to Li Jing's side, stood shoulder to shoulder with him, and looked at him deeply: "Of course it's something important."

Li Jing had been in the officialdom for many years and knew the weight of Yang Jian's words. He stared at Yang Jian, waiting for the next words.

"The Heavenly King should know what my duty as the God of Justice is, right?"

Li Jing nodded.

Yang Jian said softly, "I am responsible for handling all violations of the Heavenly Rules in the Heavenly Court."

"Of course I know that," Li Jing said with a complicated expression, "You have always been known for your impartiality."

"Over the past few hundred years, I, Yang Jian, have performed my duties conscientiously," Yang Jian continued, "Whenever a god or immortal wanted to return to the mortal world, I would punish them with thunderous means without hesitation. But Heavenly King, do you know why there has not been a single case of a god or immortal wanting to return to the mortal world in the past few hundred years?"

Li Jing frowned, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "The Queen will summon you soon. If you have something important to say, please speak up."

"Haha, Li Tianwang is really smart," Yang Jian said with a smile, "If that's the case, then I'll be frank. Since I became the God of Justice, there have been a total of three cases of people yearning for the mortal world in the Heavenly Court."

Li Jing was shocked when he heard this, and then he realized the seriousness of the matter: "Master, are you serious? Why have I never heard of this?"

Three cases of people wanting to be mortals! If any one of them happened, everyone in the heavenly court would know about it.

"Because someone has been secretly blocking me from handling the case," Yang Jian looked at Li Jing meaningfully, "Your Majesty, why don't you guess who this person is?"

Li Jing's face suddenly turned ugly. He cursed in his heart: Nezha, this kid, is really too ignorant! The incident of thinking about the mortal world is the reverse scale of the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor, and he actually intervened three times! If the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor knew about it, Nezha would probably be severely punished, and it would not be as simple as facing the wall!
"What is your purpose in telling me this, Master?" Li Jing suppressed his anger and asked calmly.

"Haha, I don't have any other intentions," Yang Jian said with a smile, "I just hope that if I need it in the future, the Heavenly King can lend me a helping hand. After all, there are always some people in the Three Realms who want to break the Heavenly Rules."

Li Jing was silent for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Yang Jian laughed loudly and immediately walked towards Yaochi. (End of this chapter)
