I become a god in another world

Chapter 710 The Death of Meng Po
Chapter 710
What happened next was beyond Zhao Fusheng's control.

Her consciousness began to become confused, as if the boundary between her past and present lives had been erased.

She lost her father at a young age, and her mother remarried, giving birth to her younger brother and then dying. She received the devastating news but couldn't make it home to see her mother one last time, which became a deep regret for her.

The misfortunes of her teenage years did not break her.

The hardships she faced along the way actually tempered her mindset.

Scenes flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern. Her face—no, later on, those faces were both familiar and strange—she knew it was herself, but for a moment she felt a sense of disorientation: Who is this?

Consciousness floated and sank amidst this chaos, and then she grew up, died in an accidental explosion, and entered the realm of reincarnation. Meng Po waited for her on the banks of the Yellow Springs of Reincarnation, holding a bowl of soup for her.

"My lord, it's time to drink the Meng Po soup."

She said gently.

Without hesitation, Zhao Fusheng drank the "Meng Po Soup" in one gulp and then entered the human realm of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, where he was reborn into the Zhao Dayou family in Jiumen Village.

Zhao's family was poor. She was bought into the Demon Suppression Division by the two Fans and died because of a vengeful ghost.

After death, he returned to the banks of the Yellow Springs River, where Meng Po stood guard with soup in her place.

……

Reality and fiction intertwine, creating a falsehood that blurs the lines between truth and illusion.

Zhao Fusheng was trapped inside.

She became a party to all the ghost cases she had handled and the ghost rumors she had heard about.

She experienced death, reincarnation, and rebirth repeatedly.

Centered on Zhao Fusheng's original body, each time she reincarnates, a phantom image emerges from her original body.

These emerging phantoms were connected to her real body by a bloodline.

One phantom, two phantoms, three phantoms—and countless phantoms in an instant.

At first, Zhao Fusheng could still pronounce the names: Zhao Fusheng, Liu Chunquan, Zhuang Laoqi, Qiao Yuesheng...

Later, there were unfamiliar faces, each one resembling her, their different features connected to her by blood. Face to face, each person felt like 'me'.

Who am I? Where am I? Why am I here?
She felt dazed.

The Blood Pool of Reincarnation instantly erupted in fury, and each 'I' was reflected in the blood mirror.

Each face was stiff, pale and lifeless.

The Meng Po soup was digesting every obsession, and emotions such as hatred, resentment, and malice swept through her heart one by one.

Just then, she suddenly remembered something—she couldn't recall her past, but she remembered that she seemed to have a list of deities.

Thinking this way, it was as if a heavy weight had suddenly been placed on her shoulders. Zhao Fusheng couldn't help but lower her head, and a scroll of ghost lists appeared in her palm.

The Ghost List records the names of ghosts and gods.

Door Gods and their wives, day and night wandering gods, guides to the underworld...

Zhao Fusheng's bewildered gaze gradually hardened.

It doesn't matter if she can't remember who she is, or if she can't find a way forward or backward. She still has a way. She remembers that she is a vengeful ghost using the laws.

Door gods can guard the gates and protect thousands of households, keeping people's doors tightly closed and preventing the invasion of ghosts and gods.
The Night Wanderer can travel the world in a single night, unrestricted by time.

The wandering spirit sends vengeful ghosts to search for the past...

"Looking for footprints?!"

Zhao Fusheng's eyes lit up; she had an idea.

It doesn't matter that she can't remember who she is, because the laws of ghosts are the fairest. Ghosts will guide her to find her past and discover her true self.

With that thought in mind, she immediately handed over the list of deities she was holding.

"Where is the God of the Day?"

With a serious expression and a rapid thought, the token of the day-roaming god slowly appeared as she gave the command.

Zhu Guangling's ghostly figure appeared before her, under her control.

This face seemed familiar, even like one of the phantoms that stepped out of her true form.

Zhao Fusheng's consciousness began to become confused again.

She forced herself not to overthink, and then activated the laws of the Day Wanderer.

The spirits marked her, and she began to search for the 'footprints' she had left behind, tracing back to the past.

She first passed through Wuqing County, recognizing one by one the deceased 'selves': You Hong, Miao Yougong, Wu Ciping...

As Zhao Fusheng traced the footprints, a part of his memory returned: these people were not himself; they belonged to the Imperial Capital's Demon Suppression Division. Wu Ciping was a general of the Lizhou Demon Suppression Division decades ago, and the others were those who died in Wuqing County this time.

She continued forward, quickening her pace.

Her footprints led her back to the capital, back to more than fifty years ago, and one by one, familiar faces were eliminated from her sight: Aunt Hu and her husband, Xie Jingsheng's father, and the vengeful ghosts she had seen before who died in the seventeenth level of hell.

……

As time reversed, she recognized Zhu Guangling's identity and resolved the ghostly calamity in Shangyang County.

She retreated from Shangyang County back to Changping County, and then remembered the identities of Ding Datong and the others. Chen Duozi had also joined them on this trip.

Next was the Shilipo Ghost Case. The Qiao Yuesheng case had a large number of deaths and injuries, making it the case with the highest number of deaths she had ever encountered. These faces were all ruled out.

She returned to Kuailiang Village and recalled everything that had happened there. She had a late-night talk with several of Kuai's daughters-in-law and learned about the life of Zhuang Si Niangzi.

She recalled Zhuang Laoqi and Gou Laosi playing around, which led her to identify the ghost case.

An outbreak occurred at the Ghost Tomb in Wan'an County, and she went to Baozhi County.

In the beggar's alley, she faced a ghost for the first time. She burned the paper effigy, then retreated to the Demon Suppression Division of Wan'an County, lay back on the door panel, and her consciousness returned to the house she used to live in. An explosion was heard.

……

Inside his body, Zhao Fusheng opened his eyes.

She remembered.

"So this is what it means to find your true self."

A notification from the Investiture of the Gods resounded in her mind: Congratulations, host, for using the laws to return your soul, trace your footsteps, and collect your life memories.

Congratulations, host, on experiencing reincarnation.

If I don't enter the cycle of reincarnation, who will?

Only by personally experiencing and feeling the laws can one fully understand and use them.

The host drinks Meng Po soup to enter the cycle of reincarnation, and uses the daily wandering spirit to find his true self.

You drank the Meng Po soup, and Meng Po willingly stayed in the shrine of ghosts and gods you built.

Life has always been a dilemma, with two things often at odds.

Meng Po had two great regrets in her life: one was that her daughter died tragically and she was too far away to help; the other was that she could not stay by her host's side for long.

Unable to make up for her regrets in life, she made a grand vow before her death: to live as a vengeful ghost and accompany hell for eternity, staying by the side of her host.

She is willing to be your vanguard against evil spirits, and to stop all ghosts in the world for you.

When a vengeful ghost enters hell, it first drinks the Meng Po soup to break its obsession and enter the cycle of reincarnation.

Congratulations, host, on establishing your own order and laws. This is an unparalleled achievement.

The law of the six realms of reincarnation in hell was established, and Meng Po belonged to the hellish spirits.

Should a shrine be built for Meng Po to guard the River of Reincarnation?

……

The moment he regained his memories, Zhao Fusheng's connection with the Investiture of the Gods became even stronger.

Her control over hell became even more secure; she could sense that she could almost control the spirits and deities at will.

At this moment, her consciousness could sense every corner of hell, searching for vengeful ghosts as if they were her own arms.

Meng Po and Zhang Chuanshi's existence is closely attached to Hell—no, in fact, it exists in her soul, never to be separated from her.

As she listened to the prompts from the Investiture of the Gods, and recalled Meng Po's gaze before her death, she slowly lowered her eyes.

A single, crystal-clear drop of water held within her eye, sealing away all her pain, longing, and emotions.

Yes!
Zhao Fusheng thought to himself: "I will build a shrine for Meng Po so that she can guard the River of Reincarnation forever."

She had wandered aimlessly throughout her life, making her home wherever she went, but now she can finally find a place to rest and no longer have to travel.

Zhao Fusheng had a sudden thought, and the Investiture of the Gods prompted: Consume 50 merit points to build the Hell God Shrine, and Meng Po will move in.

Congratulations, host, on establishing the laws and order and possessing the first resident demon spirit of Hell. You are rewarded with 100 million merit points. ...

The resurgence of Meng Po's vengeful spirit should have brought calamity to the world, but the host remained calm in the face of danger and stabilized the situation in the critical moment.

Drinking the Meng Po soup disrupts one's past life, allowing one to regain their consciousness through the laws of ghosts and gain the approval of the Meng Po laws.

The host has averted chaos caused by ghosts and gods, and is courageous, resourceful, and compassionate. He is rewarded with 30 merit points.

Shen Yishu, a vengeful ghost, appears, and her blood-red family letter brings endless calamity.

The host is rewarded with 20 merits for suppressing the Red Shoe Messenger with Meng Po Soup in Wuqing County.

……

Hell is empty, and all the devils are here on earth.

The host is reminded that a great demon has been conferred the title of god, and all other demons will be sent into the cycle of reincarnation.

Please, host, improve the order and the laws as soon as possible. Humans have laws in the world, and ghosts should also be bound by laws.

Humans have their own way of life, and ghosts have their own place to go.

Congratulations, host, you have found the cycle of reincarnation to eliminate the malevolent spirits and evil energy.

……

After a long while, the notification sound in Zhao Fusheng's mind finally disappeared.

With the addition of the merit points in her sea of ​​consciousness and the rewards from previously opening the Six Paths of Reincarnation, she now possesses a total of over two million.

Now she can open two more layers of Hell, expanding it to fifteen layers.

In this way, the Ghost Tree of Wuqing County should be included.

But before that, she had to eliminate the scourge of paper figures.

The gentleness in Zhao Fusheng's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a resolute and sharp look.

She suddenly opened her eyes.

……

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!"

The Fan brothers, Wu Shaochun, Chen Duozi, and others exclaimed in surprise.

Kuai Manzhou had appeared behind her without her noticing. The little girl clenched her cheeks, and when she saw Kuai Manzhou open her eyes, she revealed a hint of nervousness that no one else could tell.

"blessing--"

She opened her mouth with difficulty and reached out to grab Zhao Fusheng's clothes.

The next moment, Zhao Fusheng took the child's hand. Her palm was warm, and the little girl's tense nerves immediately relaxed. The corners of her tightly pursed lips turned up slightly, revealing a stiff smile.

"Fu Sheng."

Zhao Fusheng said:

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

As soon as she finished speaking, her expression turned cold and stern:

"Paper Doll Zhang, aren't you going to show yourself?!"

The instant the shout ended, Zhao Fusheng summoned the Investiture of the Gods:
"Day-roaming deity, heed my call!"

Zhu Guangling has reappeared in the world.

In an instant, a light rain began to fall.

"Hey hey hey."

The treetops of the ghost tree swayed, and countless ghostly minions gently collided, emitting an eerie and sinister sound, like someone's malicious chuckle.

A cold glint appeared in Zhao Fusheng's eyes; she could tell that it was Paper Doll Zhang mocking her.

Paper Man Zhang had been hiding in Shangyang County. He knew of Zhu Guangling's existence and guessed that Zhao Fusheng had used an extraordinary law—this law had subdued Zhu Guangling. He had a certain understanding of many things, and at the same time, relying on his own strength, he did not take Zhu Guangling seriously.

But things are different now.

Zhao Fusheng experienced the cycle of reincarnation by drinking Meng Po's soup, traveling through the past and future. She used Zhu Guangling's Soul Return Law to find her true self amidst countless illusions. In this process, she not only benefited immensely herself, but also gained a certain boost from Zhu Guangling's Law.

The two complement each other.

At this moment, the Sun God appeared, and a light rain fell, causing countless footprints to suddenly appear on the ground.

The footprints appeared and then tightened, causing the swaying treetops in the ghost realm to immediately stop moving. The laughter froze, and the sounds of wind, swaying, and laughter vanished instantly.

But Zhao Fusheng smiled.

"The deceased will be brought back to life in seven days. Zang Xiongwu, appear now!"

Zhao Fusheng shouted loudly.

The moment she finished drinking, the Zhu Guangling Law was activated.

The footprints on the ground grew deeper and deeper, and a hazy gray mist appeared above each footprint.

Zhao Fusheng's methods didn't stop there.

She drank the Meng Po soup, which deepened her connection with the Investiture of the Gods and the shrine of ghosts and gods in hell.

As she spoke, she summoned Meng Po.

The shadow of hell spread out, and as Meng Po appeared, the blood moon began to rise in the sky.

Shen Yishu, who is born and raised alongside Meng Po, also appears at the same time.

The vengeful ghosts circled around the Meng Po soup.

The blood moon hung above the ghost's head, its red light illuminating the earth, and all the demons and monsters revealed their true forms under its glow.

Meng Po's dying wish was to find the paper effigy Zhang.

Under the moonlight, the footprints that had been trapped by the day-wandering god quickly transformed into human figures.

These humanoid figures had different faces and varying heights, but under Zhao Fusheng's command, these spirits were forcibly bound by Zhu Guangling's laws, and involuntarily swayed their bodies as they slowly converged in one place.

In the blink of an eye, the vengeful spirits gathered together, forming a blurry-faced 'humanoid monster'.

It is described as non-human because its entire body resembles a mannequin made of human skin, and its face is like multiple layers of delicate human skin, with indistinct features.

But Zhu Guangling's method is to trace back the soul and search for his life story.

The skin was peeled away layer by layer by the laws, eventually revealing the true self.

An old man with white hair and beard, dressed in a wide-sleeved black robe and with a sinister face appeared before the crowd.

The next moment, his face was stripped away again.

The ruthless laws of the vengeful spirits tore away the last layer of disguise from the paper figure Zhang, revealing Zang Xiongwu's true face.

He was still wearing a black robe, but now he had two heads growing from his neck.

Both of the heads were cut open, and the traces of the assembly could not be erased.

Crimson blood lines glued the two heads together, and under the ghostly glow, the real Zang Xiongwu appeared in the world.

"..."

"..."

Both sides remained silent for a moment.

After a while, Zang Xiongwu reached out and pressed down on the two heads.

The two heads, displaying expressions of pain and resentment, were then forcibly merged into one.

Without changing his expression, Zhang the Paper Doll took out a human face scalp and, like putting on a hood, put it on his deformed head.

Once the human skin is put on, it transforms into a strange, aged face.

"Things change and people change."

Zhao Fusheng saw the paper figure's face and said without changing his expression:

"You've done so much, you've lost your son, and you've lost face too."

The paper figure Zhang's expression was stiff. After a moment, he moved his lips and nose, as if adjusting to the face. After a while, he finally said:

"I never thought that this useless Zhu Guangling would become so powerful after he died and fell into your hands."

His concealment techniques were unparalleled, yet he was forced to reveal himself by Zhu Guangling's Soul Returning Law.
