I become a god in another world

Chapter 693 The Cycle of Reincarnation
Chapter 693

Seeing this, Yu Lingzhu and the others felt relieved.

But alarm bells were ringing in Zhao Fusheng's mind.

One person's efforts alone are not a long-term solution.

Now she is using the power of the Investiture of the Gods to fight against the laws of the Ghost Tree and barely maintaining a balance—but the laws of the Investiture of the Gods clearly indicate that in order to fight against the laws, one can only respond to the laws in return.

Her merit points have now run out, and if she encounters danger, she will have no power to protect herself.

Most importantly, the Yin Cha Ma Mian (a type of spirit medium) has shown signs of abandoning her as her merit points decrease.

For the underworld officials and the horse-faced demon, fierce ghosts are the most detested.

It is a ghost messenger born of the times, whose law is to subdue evil ghosts. At this time, Zhao Fusheng, who is on the list of gods, is already considered a 'great ghost' in the law of the underworld messenger Ma Mian. Previously, it was only because she had accumulated great merit that the ghost messenger classified her as a 'god' rather than a simple 'ghost'.

However, when merit points are lacking, she is a 'ghost' in the eyes of the ghost messengers. It's just that there is a ghost tree in front of her, so the ghost messengers have not completely rebelled.

If the ghost messengers rebel, then the situation will become tricky.

Although she had the help of the Investiture of the Gods, she was able to suppress the ghost messengers.

However, both summoning the ghost messengers from the list of gods and suppressing the ghost messengers require a large amount of merit points.

Given Zhao Fusheng's current severe lack of merit points, this could lead to a crisis.

……

The ghost messengers walked beneath the ghost tree, wielding ghost scythes, and dismantled the tree.

Zhao Fusheng withdrew his gaze, his expression hardening:
"We need to decompose the Ghost Tree Law as soon as possible."

Simply using the power of a vengeful ghost to dissolve the source of the trouble is not the solution.

"Law versus law—"

Zhao Fusheng murmured softly.

While they were talking, the ghost tree unleashed its power once more.

The withered corpses hanging beneath the ghost tree began to murmur softly once more.

Although the physical body is dead, the people of Wuqing County, who still have a breath left, continue to provide incense and spiritual power for the Ghost Tree, so that the Ghost Tree can become a god and its laws can become ironclad.

The mummies wore strange smiles; in the ghostly illusion, they held onto hope and awaited reincarnation.

This mental energy returned to the Ghost Tree, causing it to re-take root, sprout new branches, and, influenced by the laws of nature, begin to grow vigorously.

In the blink of an eye, the few branches that had been broken down by Zhao Fusheng, the ghost messenger, and the people from the capital grew back to the top of the tree, becoming even more lush.

At the same time, some of the tree roots turned red, and the blood threads that were connected to Zhao Fusheng began to backfire according to the laws.

Fine white root shoots began to grow on Zhao Fusheng's face, torso, and limbs.

These roots and shoots, like living things, began to seal her body and plunder her will.

Beneath its canopy, the ghost tree that had devoured the faith of the people of Wuqing County sprouted an extremely thick branch.

The tips of the branches formed the shape of a shrine, beginning to outline Zhao Fusheng's figure.

Once the shrine is formed, Zhao Fusheng will be pulled into reincarnation by the ghost tree and manipulated by it.

Everyone was extremely anxious.

Just then, a tremendous pulling sensation came from Zhao Fusheng.

Because she was connected to the shrine of the masses, the pulling sensation radiated from her body to everyone.

Wu Shaochun said anxiously:

"Sir, I'm here to help you!"

While he was speaking, he set up the ghost stove and, disregarding his own safety, activated the power of the stove ghost.

The laws of the Kitchen God are not rules; rather, the moment he appears, he is tainted by the laws of the Ghost Tree.

Countless vines and roots sprouted from the bottom of the stove, binding the body of the evil spirit inside the pot.

Vines sprouted from Wu Shaochun's arms and face, sucking away his flesh and blood.

But just then, wisps of smoke suddenly rose from above the stove.

This is the power of the incense offerings from the Kitchen God.

After Wu Shaochun mastered the ghost, he rescued people in several places, including Wan'an County and Jin County, and left a protective ghost mark on them.

The people, grateful for his kindness, built a shrine in his honor, offered incense, and worshipped his protection.

At this moment, the people's remembrance transformed into incense offerings to Wu Shaochun.

Wu Shaochun's loyalty to Zhao Fusheng was transformed into the power of a different kind of supernatural belief, which was repaid to Zhao Fusheng through the shrine.

Investiture of the Gods hints:
If you receive offerings at a shrine, will you build a temple and establish rules and order?

It's like handing a pillow when you're sleepy, or providing a lifeline in a moment of crisis.

Zhao Fusheng was overjoyed and immediately selected: Yes!

As her consciousness sank, she saw that the azure energy emanating from Wu Shaochun initially appeared chaotic, but the moment she made her choice, it began to flow towards her in a highly regular pattern.

The green vapor took shape, forming the prototype of a temple.

At the same time, the movement of the Ghost Tree plundering her laws paused.

The formation of the shrine on the treetop was disrupted by some force, and the branches turned from black to yellow.

A shrine appeared above Zhao Fusheng's head in mid-air.

However, Wu Shaochun's individual strength was weak, and the shrine was small and cramped, so Zhao Fusheng could not fully return to his place.

"Gentlemen, lend me a hand!"

Zhao Fusheng shouted.

Meng Po was the first to react:

"I am willing to serve you, sir!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she knelt down on the ground, put her hands together, and worshipped the shrine in mid-air.

Blood-red light rose into the sky, and the blood moon moved closer to the shrine.

The moonlight, transformed into devout faith, flowed into the shrine.

The Investiture of the Gods hints: You have received offerings from Meng Po, and she is willing to become a ghost or god under your laws, at your beck and call.

As soon as the notification sound ended, the red light transformed into immense power, beginning to repair the shrine, expand its space, and use the blood-red light as lacquer to enlarge the temple.

After Meng Po, Chen Duozi also turned around to offer sacrifices:

"To Your Excellency."

Liu Yizhen's body turned to gold: "I wish to offer this to my Lord God."

Then came Da Fan and Xiao Fan, and Xu Yu.

Ding Datong, followed by Yu Lingzhu, Wang Zhiyi, and others.

……

Countless vengeful spirits offered their power to the Investiture of the Gods, and the power of faith elevated Zhao Fusheng to the position of a god or ghost.

With everyone's combined efforts in making offerings, Zhao Fusheng, without anyone noticing, found himself carrying the temple on his back and entering the main shrine.

The ghost monument, which had appeared like a towering mountain in her sea of ​​consciousness, was no longer as untouchable as it had been after she received offerings of incense from the ghosts.

In an instant, the Ghost List seemed to transform into a scroll entangled in blood, which she held in her left hand.

Zhao Fusheng sat upright on the altar, receiving incense offerings.

Countless pale, ghostly whiskers surged from her palm, attempting to erode the Investiture of the Gods, but were instantly swallowed by the blood threads the moment they touched the scroll.

After inheriting the incense offerings, she also possesses the power of laws.

This feeling is quite mysterious.

Meng Po, Wu Shaochun, Da Fan, Xiao Fan, Liu Yizhen, and everyone else placed her on the altar. Their faith transformed into boundless power that filled her, granting her the authority to judge the laws.

With a gentle flick of her hand, those endless white roots turned into black ash and fell to the ground.

Zhao Fusheng, with an air of disdain, sat upright in the shrine and looked around.

She was still shrouded in the shadow of the tree, but facing the ghost tree, she was no longer like an ant, powerless to resist.

The laws of the Ghost Tree activated, attempting to corrupt her once more, but were blocked by the shrine.

The shrine that the Ghost Tree built for her was forcibly destroyed by the Great Law when Zhao Fusheng's temple was built.

The moment the Ghost Tree Shrine was destroyed, the evil energy of the Ghost Tree Law surged forth.

The expressions on the faces of most of the withered corpses hanging from the treetops changed from joy to sorrow.

The grief transformed into immense spiritual power, giving rise to the Blood Mirror, which began to shine upon the temple where Zhao Fusheng was worshipped. The temple trembled violently.

An image of a deity holding a blood-red list appeared in the ghost mirror.

A large number of roots and vines began to sprout around the temple, and even the spirits that worshipped her suffered.

Zhuang Si Niangzi's body was covered in vines, and Kuai Manzhou's consciousness was half-trapped in reincarnation.

At this moment, the little girl seemed to have returned to the day when Zhuang Si Niangzi was punished according to the family rules. She did not step out of the house to look for Bai Su for her mother, and Zhuang Si Niangzi went far away with the outsider.

……

It was a beautiful dream, and Kuai Manzhou was trapped in it, unable to wake up for a while.

The rattan covering Zhuang Si Niangzi's body encircled the child, forming the shape of a sheep.

"My lord, something has happened to Manzhou."

Upon seeing this, Meng Po shouted.

The power of laws is invisible, intangible, and omnipresent, making them impossible to guard against.

The ghost tree attacked in two separate ways, unable to fully perceive Zhao Fusheng's figure, thus bringing disaster upon the other fierce ghosts associated with her shrine on the Ghost List.

Zhao Fusheng's state of mind was strange at this moment.

She was both calm and violent.

These two completely opposite feelings filled her mind, yet they seemed as natural and inevitable as a matter of course.

She looked down at Xu Yu:
"Ah Yu, lend me the Qiankun Brush."

She said expressionlessly.

Before Xu Yu could even respond, she willingly spread her hands and offered up the Ghost Pen—the moment she chose to worship Zhao Fusheng and become her believer, their destinies became intertwined.

She could not refuse Zhao Fusheng's orders, nor could she refuse his requests. She let him take what he wanted and begged for his protection.

This is the absolute deterrent power of the Investiture of the Gods.

Once the Ghost Pen, which had previously harbored rebellious intentions, appeared, it was immediately captured by Zhao Fusheng.

She held a pen in one hand and a book in the other.

"Cheng Mengyin set a rule before she died."

His laws are those established within his domain of spirits, laws that compel all people and spirits to act in accordance with his will.

After Cheng Mengyin's death, the vengeful ghost revived, and the laws governing the vengeful ghost were devoured by the Ghost Tree—which also means that the Ghost Tree has the authority to control the rules, one of the additional laws added on top of reincarnation, blood mirror, and soul calling.

At this moment, Kuai Manzhou was entangled by the ghost vine into the shape of a sheep, which meant that the ghost vine had used Cheng Mengyin's law on her: to curse everyone to be trapped in reincarnation after death and be transformed into animals such as pigs, horses, cattle, and sheep.

……

Zhao Fusheng picked up his brush and wrote:
"The cycle of reincarnation is drawn, and I draw one path, the path of animals!"

The ghost pen trembled as it wrote: "May the Heavenly Venerable grant boundless blessings!"
She is revered by gods and spirits and governs the laws.

One of the realms of reincarnation is the animal realm!

The Qiankun Brush was under control, and at this moment it was quiet and obedient in Zhao Fusheng's palm, just like an ordinary object.

When it wrote 'One of the paths of reincarnation is the animal realm,' the heavens and earth trembled.

A bolt of lightning struck the ground, flashing towards the ghost tree.

With a deafening roar, she cleaved a tree shadow on one side and sent it crashing to the ground.

With a sound like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting open, a large number of ghost tree branches were knocked off, and about one-sixth of the trunk was also cut off.

The moment it hit the ground, the tree trunk and leaves turned into blood, instantly forming a huge lake.

After the lake was formed, the mummified corpses fell into it. The crickets crawled and climbed onto the lake, transforming into bizarre, unrecognizable corpses.

Their faces and bodies are covered with vines, some are restrained to look like dogs, and some are restrained to look like cows.

Although these strange creatures were affected by Zhao Fusheng's laws and reduced to the animal realm, they were still controlled by the ghost tree, and then they uttered a curse in unison:

"Li Dayuan, Li Dayuan, Li Dayuan—"

The ghosts roared in unison, shaking people's souls and spirits.

Among the imperial envoys, a man looked up as if possessed.

In the brief moment he turned his head, the law responded, and his expression immediately froze.

Countless ghost vines exploded from his body, transforming into an enormous, bewitching, man-eating tree that devoured his entire body.

Li Dayuan's mangled body fell into the blood pool and entered the cycle of reincarnation.

One believer was suddenly lost in Zhao Fusheng's shrine.

In the Pool of Reincarnation, Li Dayuan, who had only recently died, crawled out of the pool. Then, endless black vines devoured him, instantly transforming him into a monster that lay prostrate on the ground.

He died unjustly and resentfully, his heart filled with violence, and he joined these ghostly accomplices in shouting:

"Zhou Youcai, Zhou Youcai—"

The same thing happened again.

……

All these laws change in an instant.

The laws of the Ghost Tree are incredibly powerful; several people died in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Fusheng's mind raced, and he opened the gates of Hell.

Even though the Ghost Tree's appearance is fragmented, it ultimately belongs to the category of law-based vengeful spirits.

It cannot be represented by simple shapes or images; it is something intangible yet truly exists.

Simply dividing the Ghost Tree with the Great Law and then transforming its direction can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause; the Ghost Tree's laws continue to apply.

Upon realizing this, Zhao Fusheng immediately opened the gates of Hell, sheltering Kuai Manzhou, Meng Po, and a group of people from Wan'an County, as well as the people from the capital, inside.

The shadow of the Ghost Prison did not stop after it included these living shrines under its protection, but continued to spread forward, intending to swallow this large pool of reincarnation that Zhao Fusheng had forcibly cut into the animal realm.

The moment the shadow of hell touched the blood pool, the two laws collided, and then the heavens and earth trembled violently, as if an earth dragon were turning over.

A massive burst of malevolent energy erupted.

The notification sound of the Investiture of the Gods rang in Zhao Fusheng's sea of ​​consciousness: The eleventh level of hell cannot be easily reincarnated into the animal realm!

As the Investiture of the Gods was being announced, the laws of the Ghost Tree began to affect the rest of the people.

People from the capital and Wan'an County were bound by ghostly vines and pulled into the cycle of reincarnation.

Under the immense pulling force, Zhao Fusheng's shrine began to droop and sway, showing signs of instability.

The Qiankun Brush began to stir with desire: May the Heavenly Venerable bestow boundless blessings.

The Great Law is about to collapse—

The last character, '溃', was not yet finished.

With a book in one hand and a pen in the other, Zhao Fusheng wrote again: "I will draw another line in the cycle of reincarnation, and seal the divine path of heaven!"

The blood-red light from the Qiankun Brush intensified.

Under her control, he changed his tone: "May the Heavenly Venerable grant boundless blessings."

She is revered by ghosts and gods, receives offerings and prayers from all living beings, and establishes order in the world.

The laws of nature have been rewritten.

One of the paths of reincarnation is the Path of the Celestials!

……

Once this rule was issued, the order was immediately put into effect.

The lightning of Heaven reappeared, striking the ghost tree and breaking its vengeful ghostly form.

'Boom.'

Thunder rumbled incessantly, the heavens and earth shook, the ghost tree's branches and leaves fell, and one side of the trunk was split open again, falling to the ground and turning into a pool of blood.

The mummified corpses hanging above fell into the pool and instantly transformed into ghosts and gods.

Being granted the title of deity at least means that the power of the spirits and deities has reached at least the level of calamity.

In an instant, these ghostly accomplices transformed, receiving the 'blessing' of the laws, their strength skyrocketing, instantly becoming monstrous ghosts.

As soon as the vengeful spirits awoke, they immediately shouted in unison:
"Miao has done a good job!"

"Miao has done a good job!"
