I become a god in another world

Chapter 722 The Ghost Case Resolved
Chapter 722

Yu Lingzhu led Chang Hao and Old Lady Chang into the Ghost Realm of Fengdu. As Yu Lingzhu's vengeful ghost power erupted, time reversed in Wuqing County within the Ghost Realm.

Zang Junji also entered the ghost realm and bound every ghost inside.

……

The seventeenth level of hell suppresses fierce ghosts.

Unfortunately, Feng Du had already died from the resurgence of the vengeful spirits. The seventeenth level of hell could suppress the vengeful spirits, but the ghost realm itself was unrestrained.

Seeing the vengeful ghosts entering the Gate of Hell one after another, Zhao Fusheng immediately looked at the plaque above the Gate of Hell.

The plaque was shrouded in ghostly mist, and the large characters written by Liu Yizhen using the laws of vengeful ghosts were stained.

If the Ghost Realm has no gate, isn't it just a facade? When Zang Junji has suppressed the Chang family and Yu Lingzhu of Wuqing County, who can hold him back if he wants to break out of the realm?

Liu Yizhen has already left in his night-traveling divine carriage—even if he stayed here, he might not be able to keep Fengdu in check.

Zhao Fusheng looked towards the Ghost Realm of Fengdu and said:

"Since the Ghost Realm of Fengdu has no gate, then I will install a gate for this Ghost Realm!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she held the Investiture of the Gods in her hand and shouted sternly:
"Please bring out the door gods!"

As they were speaking, a flash of blood appeared within the Investiture of the Gods.

A fierce wind howled, and the shrine on the ghost monument behind her emitted an eerie light. In the blood mist, the door gods and their consorts appeared beside her.

"With the two gate gods guarding the gate of the Ghost Realm of Fengdu, from now on, with the gods and spirits in front, evil ghosts can enter but never leave!"

Every word Zhao Fusheng uttered at this moment formed a unique and unparalleled rule.

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and the two door gods obeyed her laws and were suppressed. Blood light surged within their ghostly bodies, and amidst the rising evil aura, the two ghosts vanished in a flash.

When the ghosts and gods reappeared, they were already standing at the city gate of the sealed ghost realm.

The ghost town has no gate; above it stands only a plaque obscured by malevolent energy.

The door gods and their spouses stood below the plaque, then the two ghosts twisted their toes, stiffly turned around, and faced Zhao Fusheng.

The door behind the ghost fell off and began to grow rapidly, instantly transforming into two double doors, each about three zhang high, that reached the ground and topped the city wall, fitting perfectly with the surrounding walls.

The moment this ominous creature merged with the Ghost Realm of the Sealed Capital, the figure of the Ghost Gate vanished from its original spot.

Immediately afterwards, blood-red light appeared on the door panel, which soon transformed into two ferocious and extremely evil ghost images reflected in it.

As soon as the Ghost Gate was inlaid, a cold wind howled within the city. Some fierce ghosts seemed to sense the pressure from the gate gods and tried to escape from the city. However, just as they approached the city gate, blood light surged from the Ghost Gate, and the shadows of evil ghosts, like reliefs, appeared on the gate, transforming into two gate gods who captured the fierce ghosts and brought them into the gate!
The door gods displayed their divine power.

The two demon gods guarding the Fengdu Ghost Domain are like filling the gaps in the gate of the Fengdu Ghost Domain.

Countless vengeful ghosts tried to get closer to the city gate, but the gate had already been reinforced by Zhao Fusheng's rule: the Gate of Hell is a place where one can only enter and not leave.

Without exception, all the fierce ghosts that approached the gate of hell were stopped by the gate gods.

The power of ghosts and gods is extraordinary.

Amidst the blood-red light, the city gates slowly closed, imprisoning the Wuqing County that had reversed time, the wailing ghosts, the street vendors, as well as Zang Junji, the Ghost Mother Tai Sui, and others.

All the sounds have disappeared, but the crisis is not completely over.

Zhao Fusheng held up the Investiture of the Gods, and with a thought, he activated the position of ghost and god.

Investiture of the Gods prompts: Do you wish to consume 50 merit points to unlock a divine position?
Zhao Fusheng answered without hesitation: Yes!
With 50 merit points deducted, another shrine slot on the Ghost Stele of the Investiture of the Gods slowly opened, awaiting the arrival of the next ghost or god.

After she finished doing all this, she looked at Fengdu:

"Fengdu, we had a prior agreement—"

As Zhao Fusheng spoke, a sense of emotion welled up within him.

Not long ago, she worked alongside Feng Du.

The two participated in the calamity of the ghosts in Shangyang County. They experienced the law of reincarnation together, returning to more than fifty years ago, and suppressed the headless ghost calamity.

Feng Du had promised her that if she agreed to go to Wuqing County, he would allow her to control his vengeful spirit after his death.

When the two of them brought up this topic, they were both sincere.

The ghost tamer must eventually go through this ordeal, and Feng Du also knows that the resurgence of vengeful ghosts is his inevitable fate.

But when they said these words, neither of them expected that this day would come so soon—not long ago they were laughing and chatting, but who knew that their next meeting would be a separation of life and death.

The ghost coffin left behind after suppressing the headless ghost changed Fengdu's fate. The moment the ghost coffin was restored, it caused Fengdu's death.

After a brief sigh, Zhao Fusheng's eyes quickly returned to calm.

Feng Du's death is a foregone conclusion, but the promise between the two was not a joke.

She wanted to deify Fengdu and have him guard hell for her.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Fusheng unleashed Hell, enveloping the ghost realm of Fengdu.

The moment it was suppressed by hell, the seventeenth layer of ghosts instinctively wanted to retaliate. Zhao Fusheng held the Investiture of the Gods in his hand and remained unmoved: "Fengdu, why don't you immediately return to your divine position, obey my command, suppress my hell, and serve me!"

A notification sound from the Investiture of the Gods echoed in Zhao Fusheng's mind: Should he bestow upon Fengdu the title of a ghost or god? To guard Hell?
Zhao Fusheng's gaze was firm: Yes!
With a thought, she grasped a ghost token in her palm.

Blood-red light flowed within the Ghost God's Decree, outlining a miniature ghostly figure of an old man.

The moment the ghostly figure was completed, the ghostly realm of the sealed capital ceased its backlash, obediently allowing the shadows of hell to devour it.

Investiture of the Gods notification: Congratulations, host, you have subdued the Fengdu Ghost Realm.

During his lifetime, he guarded the seventeenth level of the ghost realm, watching over unknown beings and restraining them from slumber. He had accumulated great merit in the world. Even before becoming a ghost or god, he had already achieved merit. He should not be bound by humans, but roamed the world, becoming a free ghost or god. Wherever he went, living beings suffered.

However, he had made a promise to someone before his death, and after his death he was willing to fulfill that promise: as long as the host completes the Wuqing County ghost case, he is willing to become a ghost god and be driven by the host to guard the ghost realm for the host.

Now that Wuqing County has been subdued and the Chang family's calamity has been resolved, Feng Du's wish has been fulfilled. The two sides have formed a karmic bond, and Feng Du is willing to fulfill his promise made in life to guard hell for you.

Congratulations, host, on being granted the title of Fengdu.

……

As soon as the announcement of the Investiture of the Gods ended, the Gate of Hell closed. The dusty plaque above the Gate of Hell seemed to have its black mist wiped away by an invisible hand, revealing its golden characters once again: "Sealed Capital Ghost Domain".

The calligraphy carries a menacing sharpness, capable of assisting the door gods in guarding the ghost realm.

But even this wasn't enough for Zhao Fusheng.

The ghost town slowly closed in, transforming into the ghostly figure of an old man with white hair and beard.

Feng Du's eyes had lost their luster, his face was ashen, and his expression was stiff and cold. He slowly moved toward Zhao Fusheng. When he got close to her, the ghostly figure paused for a moment and then disappeared into a phantom.

At the same time, the Investiture of the Gods provides the following:

The order of the six realms of hell and reincarnation was established, and the capital was placed under the control of the hellish spirits.

The laws of Fengdu itself are the city of hell. Congratulations, host, you have opened the seventeenth level of hell!
Humans have their own path in the human world, and ghosts have their own hell.

An unknown being once single-handedly opened the seventeen levels of hell, but he only managed to suppress them, not to open the path of reincarnation.

Prevention is worse than cure; establishing a cyclical order is one way to resolve the ghostly calamity. Congratulations, host, for resolving the ghostly calamity in Wuqing County.

The vengeful spirit of the Chang family resurrected and entrenched itself in Wuqing County for nearly forty years. During these forty years, the people of the county were all killed by having their bones sucked and marrow crushed. The number of victims reached hundreds of thousands, and the calamity became a law, leaving endless harm.

King Fengdu of the Demon Suppression Division discovered the case in Wuqing County years ago, but was unable to find a breakthrough and was also suffering from a lack of capable people, so the case has been shelved until now.

The Wuqing County case has caused widespread harm, and the law, though invisible, has spread beyond Wuqing County.

The host stepped forward in a time of crisis, daring to enter the ghost realm. He did not shy away from trouble, showing responsibility, courage, strategy, and popularity. This led several key figures to willingly sacrifice themselves in life-or-death moments, ultimately ending the ghost calamity.

The conclusion of this case will be a great blessing for all people, and this is a tremendous act of merit.

Only when the people's hearts are with you will they sincerely worship the gods.

The Wuqing County case is extraordinary, involving laws and cause and effect, and has a profound impact. The host has successfully resolved this case and will be rewarded with 50 merit points.

The host is courageous, resourceful, and possesses a fearless and compassionate heart. By dividing his physical body to suppress ghosts and gods, he has achieved an unparalleled feat, and is rewarded with 100 million merit points.

The host, wielding the Qiankun Brush, has opened up a new path for the six realms of reincarnation, forging a route never before taken by anyone. This has provided a new direction for the reincarnation of vengeful ghosts and paved a completely new path for future successors. The host is rewarded with 150 million merit points.

Congratulations, host, for bestowing titles upon three ghosts and deities in succession during the Wuqing County Ghost Case, which indirectly quelled the resurgence of three great ghosts. This is a blessing for all people. You are awarded a total of 60 merit points.

Congratulations, host, for receiving the blessings of your predecessors and gaining access to the seventeenth level of hell.

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

Humans have their own humanity, and ghosts have their own hell.

The host is reminded to confer the title of a great demon as a god as soon as possible, send all the demons into reincarnation, protect thousands of households, and establish unparalleled merit.

……

The notification sound for the Investiture of the Gods disappeared.

Zhao Fusheng gained more than ever before from this trip to Wuqing County.

The gods have already been invited back to their positions.

It once guarded the seventeenth level of the Ghost Realm before its death. The Ghost Realm was pieced together completely before its death, and the laws of the vengeful ghost were brought to their fullest extent after its death. This made the Ghost Realm of Fengdu even more 'solid' than when it was alive.

Zang Junji, Wuqing County, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation were all imprisoned in hell.

The shadow that had been looming over Zhao Fusheng's heart was swept away overnight—even the shadow marked by Zang Junji was instantly suppressed because of the existence of Fengdu.

But Zhao Fusheng found it hard to be happy.

It is rare for someone who solves ghost cases or deals with ghosts to have a good ending or reap good rewards.

When she was first reborn, she heard the Fan brothers warn her about this phrase during a conversation.

During the subsequent investigation of ghost cases, she repeatedly reminded herself with this thought to avoid making mistakes.

The fact that Zhang Chuanshi died in a ghostly calamity during the trip to Shangyang County has already proven the horror of the ghost case.

However, the case in Wuqing County was far more tragic than that in Shangyang County.

In this ghost case, in addition to the group from Wan'an County, the capital city dispatched a total of two generals, Yu Lingzhu, Wang Zhiyi, and Jiang Jinshan, as well as twelve ghost controllers, including Miao Yougong, and forty-eight ordinary messengers.

In this battle, Yu, Wang, and Jiang all died. Of the twelve ghost tamers, including Miao Yougong, and the forty-eight ordinary messengers, at most only six survived, a truly devastating loss.

The group from Wan'an County were almost all ghost controllers with extraordinary supernatural powers, but Meng Po died and was posthumously conferred the title of ghost god.

Xu Yu suffered a backlash from the laws of the vengeful ghosts, and went blind.

Kuai Manzhou was marked by the cycle of reincarnation, and his body was covered in wounds—for a demon tamer, such wounds are easy to inflict, but difficult to heal.

In other words, the scars on the little girl's body may stay with her for the rest of her life, bringing her pain that she can never erase.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fusheng turned to look at Kuai Manzhou.

The child had a small, bright red mark the size of a thumb on the center of her forehead. It was the result of her uncontrollable attempt to hang the child while she was under the influence of the ghost tree.

The power of vengeful spirits is immense; once they lose control, the consequences are unimaginable.

When Zhao Fusheng saw the red dot again, he felt guilty.

If Yu Lingzhu hadn't awakened her consciousness back then, would she have killed Kuai Manzhou on the spot?

She had personally saved this child, who trusted her completely and risked everything to bring Fengdu to her aid. If she had intervened then, how would she face the consequences in the future?

As their eyes met, Kuai Manzhou saw the guilt hidden beneath Zhao Fusheng's silence.

Kuai Manzhou himself was tormented by the death of Zhuang Si Niangzi and the resulting destruction of Kuai Liang Village. Upon seeing Zhao Fusheng's expression, he immediately understood her feelings.

The child's fingers twitched. She reached out and pressed her hand to her forehead, filling the bloody hole in the center of her forehead, leaving only a small red mark. Then, with a normal expression, she flashed to Zhao Fusheng's side and, as always, reached out and took his hand.

She didn't say a word, but her actions showed her attitude.

Zhao Fusheng paused, realizing that this was not the time for him to feel guilty.

As the ghostly calamity was lifted, the ghostly domain that had shrouded Wuqing County for decades also dissipated.

As the ghostly fog gradually dissipated, the gray-black mist slowly revealed the true scene hidden within it to Zhao Fusheng and Kuai Manzhou.

The blood pool, blood mirror, ghost tree, and other things all disappeared, and the black mist also dissipated, revealing a dilapidated and deserted street.

Within the Ghost Realm, one's cognition and five senses are affected.

At this moment, the Ghost Realm disbanded, and the once vibrant and beautiful Changfu South Garden and East Mansion in the illusion had long since faded.

Over the decades, the house has fallen into disrepair. The carvings that the Chang family once commissioned craftsmen to create at great expense have long since broken, and the tiles are now covered with black moss.

The eaves were covered with tattered spider webs, many of them dusty and tattered, hanging down in a tangled mess.

The streets were covered with a thick layer of mud, and the semi-dry mud was filled with the corpses of ordinary people.

The moment the ghost case was resolved, these people died immediately.

A putrid stench filled the air.

Meanwhile, in the capital, Jia Yi discovered that the Soul Fate Book under his control was experiencing violent fluctuations.

He then examined the laws governing vengeful spirits and discovered that Cheng Mengyin and other spirit controllers, who had been marked on the Book of Soul Fate and had been missing for many years but had not died, had lost their life force.

"These people are dead—"

Jia Yi murmured softly to herself, but her pupils were unconsciously contracting.

He could barely hide his shock, but what happened next terrified him even more.

In addition to the disappearance of the souls recorded in the Book of Souls by Cheng Mengyin and others, the souls of Yu Lingzhu, Wang Zhiyi, and Jiang Jinshan were also erased.

This means that the three kings have been resurrected as vengeful spirits.

This immediately made Jia Yi restless.
