I become a god in another world

Chapter 788 The Revival of Emperor Zang
Chapter 788

"I'm not a villain, I'm not a villain—"

Zang Xiongwu kept shaking his head:

"I am only borrowing your head to suppress the evil spirits of the world."

After he finished speaking, his tone changed:
"You are dead, your vengeful spirit should not rise again, you should rest in peace—"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce glint flashed in the paper figure's eyes:
"You're a ghost, what right do you have to blame me for breaking my promise!"

He then twisted off the demon's head and tucked it into his arms.

Shortly afterward, Zang Xiongshan appeared.

He was either angry or cowardly.

Years ago, the vengeful ghost that looked exactly like him appeared in the old Zang family ancestral hall and killed Liu Wenqing and his mother. He lived with guilt ever since and never had the face to see Zang Xiongwu again.

Later, he took charge of Shangyang County, where his infamy spread far and wide, and the two brothers who were once close became separated until Zang Xiongshan died.

"Xiongwu, I'm sorry, Third Brother—" Zang Xiongshan was apologizing one second, but the next second his expression turned ferocious:
"My vengeful spirit has resurrected and killed people, it's all your fault!"

"That ghostly calamity was your doing, you framed me!" Zang Xiongshan shouted, accusingly.

"You used the method of reincarnation to send vengeful ghosts back to the past, killing the Guo family in Erlang County, Guanjiang, causing me to be imprisoned, wronged, and then killed my younger brother, sister-in-law, and daughter. It was you—"

Paper Doll Zhang Dahai:
"It wasn't me! It wasn't me!"

"It's you!"

Zang Xiongshan said:

"It was you who activated the law of reincarnation."

"It's you!"

"It's you!"

Two voices rang in Zhang's ears at the same time.

He turned around in alarm, only to see a handsome young man with a disfigured body, pale face, and blank expression standing beside him.

"Sun Shaoyin?!"

The paper figure was greatly surprised.

Sun Shaoyin and Zang Xiongshan stood side by side, and 'he' said:
“You caused my tragic death, knowing that I was deeply obsessed and resentful before my death, so you stole my head after my death and took this opportunity to send Zang Xiongshan back to the ‘past’.”

Zang Xiongwu immediately shook his head:
"You were killed by Shen Yishu, what does that have to do with me?"

As soon as the words were spoken, red mist flickered within the ghost realm, and a young girl dressed in a wedding robe appeared coldly not far away.

Shen Yishu reveals her true form:
"You're the one who killed me."

"No no no."

Paper Doll Zhang shook his head:
"You died at the hands of Zang Xiongshan, so what does that have to do with me?"

No sooner had he finished refuting than Meng Po appeared in the world:

"If you hadn't abducted my daughter, how would she have come to know Sun Shaoyin?"

Zang Xiongshan said:

"If you hadn't used the reincarnation technique to cause the tragic deaths of my younger brother, sister-in-law, and mother, how could my nature have changed so drastically, and I had come to control ghosts?"

……

One by one, the vengeful ghosts associated with Zhang the Paper Doll appeared before him, seeking justice and demanding accountability for his sins.

He initially tried desperately to explain, but later fell silent.

A horde of vengeful spirits surrounded him, each demanding his life.

"You killed me—"

"You'll pay with your life—"

"Give me back my life—"

"Zang Xiongwu, why didn't you protect our son?!"

……

Every ghost is blaming him.

His father complained that his birth increased his tax burden and that the Zang family line had ended, so he regretted getting married and having a child.
His mother complained that he was unfair in his dealings with people. After his father died, there was a proper funeral, but she buried him hastily. Now, the grave is nowhere to be found, and his descendants cannot pay their respects.
His wife complained that he couldn't save their son, which led to Zhang Chuanshi's tragic death at the Zang family's old ancestral hall.

His third brother, Zang Xiongshan, blamed him for leading a ghost through reincarnation, causing him to be embroiled in a lawsuit. Ultimately, his future self accidentally killed a relative, leaving him with a lifetime of guilt and pain.

Shen Yishu resented him and hated him for changing her life.

Meng Po hated him for causing the loss of her and her daughter, leaving her all alone.

Sun Shaoyin hated him for being the root of all evil, ultimately causing his body to be incomplete after death.

……

Zang Xiongwu went from anxiously explaining at the beginning to repeatedly sneering later.

Overwhelmed by extreme anxiety, he was unable to cope with the accusations and developed murderous intent.

He fell silent, letting the horde of ghosts surround him.

Just then, a ship in the distance began to circle around him quietly.

Zhang Chuanshi was on the boat.

He looked coldly at his son.

My son's face was both familiar and unfamiliar.

After the incident at the Zang family ancestral hall in the capital, the father and son left the capital and wandered around.

During that time, the two depended on each other for survival.

He made considerable efforts in his quest for revenge.

From the day his family changed, his temperament changed drastically; he became irritable, and his son initially tried to please him.

Chuanshi was young and had rarely been scolded by his parents before.

In the past, his wife, Wenqing, would only ask him to help with household chores because she felt sorry for the children.

But after the father and son depended on each other for survival, young Zhang Chuanshi began to learn to do housework, washing clothes, cooking, and serving his father. He was often subjected to his father's cold words and ridicule, and eventually he felt both fear and shame towards him.

He gradually became unrecognizable, and later the father and son often found themselves speechless when they met.

After parting ways in Wan'an County, no one expected that their meeting in Shangyang County would be their last.

Paper Man Zhang looked at his son:
"Are you going to blame me too?"

After asking the question, he thought bitterly: That's how all people are.

They only see the wrong side of others and the unfairness to themselves, blame each other, and get caught in an endless entanglement.

He thought in an extreme way:
"Hmph! Anyone who criticizes me, I'll kill them all!"

These people were nothing but useless trash in life, his defeated enemies;
Even if a vengeful ghost revives after death, it will only be under his control.

With that thought in mind, when he looked at Zhang Chuanshi again, his gaze became particularly unfriendly: it is only natural for a father to discipline his son.

If Zhang Chuanshi dares to criticize me, then I'd rather not have such a son.

Just as murderous intent was forming in his mind—he saw Zhang Chuanshi, steering the boat, looking at him:
"Father, I am not a coward. I protected Mother and my sister."

"Father, I am not a coward. I protected Mother and my sister."

If my mother and sister hadn't died, the tragedy at the Zang family ancestral hall wouldn't have happened, my father wouldn't have changed so drastically, and the family would still be living happily together.

……

"..."

Paper Man Zhang thought he would be scolded by his son.

Because once the cycle of reincarnation restarts, Zhang Chuanshi will surely understand where the trouble originated.

He suffered his father's scolding throughout his life, wandered alone and lonely, and could not escape the tragedy of his childhood.

He'll definitely hate it!

How could he not hate it?

The Zang family inherited the gene of resentment.

Just as a father resents his mother, one resents heaven and earth.

Why doesn't Zhang Chuanshi hate himself?
"What did you say?"

Paper Doll Zhang couldn't believe his ears:

"What did you say?"

"Father, I am not a coward. I protected Mother and my sister."

"Father, I'm not a coward—"

"father--"

"father--"

Countless shouts rang in Zhang's ears, even momentarily drowning out the accusations from all directions.

Zhang Chuanshi's shouts changed from old age to youth, and finally transformed into a nine-year-old child, holding a black oar, standing in the boat.

"Father—" "Father—"

Amidst the shouts, the ghostly figures of Liu Wenqing, Zang Xiongshan, and others vanished one by one.

"No, no, no -"

Paper Doll Zhang's heart pounded like a drum: "How could this happen? You should resent me—"

The moment he spoke, his mind cleared instantly.

"The dead cannot be brought back to life—"

He murmured.

After saying that, he looked around again, but there was no vengeful ghost to claim his life.
Young Zhang Chuanshi also disappeared.

Paper Man Zhang sat by the sea of ​​blood, and the soup that Meng Po had handed him had been drunk up without him even realizing it.

His obsession was too strong; this bowl of ghost soup could not make him forget his past.

Not far away, the ghost boatman, along with his boat and the ghost, was captured by him and could not get away.

The moment the paper figure Zhang drank the Meng Po soup, he stepped into the vengeful ghost's 'past' and glimpsed 'his' life story.

In his dying moments, he harbored no resentment toward himself.

He was waiting to explain to the paper figure Zhang why he hadn't saved his mother and sister back then.

"coward!"

Paper Man Zhang shouted in a low, sharp voice, but there was a slight tremor in his tone:
"How could someone like me, Zang Xiongwu, have a son like you?!"

"You died at the hands of a vengeful ghost, and instead of seeking revenge or venting your anger after death, you still dwell on things from decades ago—" he said.
"Don't you know how to kill me? You useless thing—"

The vengeful ghost naturally stopped responding to him.

The ghost boatman punted his boat around in the sea of ​​blood, trying to find the other shore of his soul.

The paper figure Zhang's voice gradually faded away.

……

This bowl of Meng Po soup stirred up the paper figure Zhang Shengping's emotions, causing his mind to become disordered, but it did not eliminate his obsession.

He sank into hell and began to mark vengeful spirits.

Being captured by Zhao Fusheng is both a crisis and an opportunity for him.

He once broke into the seventeenth level of the Ghost Prison and obtained half a head and an eyeball from Zang Junji, thus defying fate.

Paper Man Zhang also hoped that this time he could strip Zhao Fusheng of hell and gain an opportunity to change the laws of heaven and earth.

He imitated Zang Junji's act of suppressing ghosts, using himself as a 'monument' to bind all the evil spirits he encountered along the way to himself.

"I must find my ancestor, I must leave the Ghost Prison, I still have unfulfilled wishes—"

With this thought in mind, Paper Man Zhang continued on his way.

……

At the same time, Zhao Fusheng sensed that his hell was not peaceful.

Paper Man Zhang transformed himself into 'Prison', using his own power to suppress the evil spirits.

In an instant, he turned hell upside down.

He once stole Zang Junji's remains, and was also a descendant of Zang Junji. The two met in Hell, causing the power guarding Hell to go out of control, and the Ghost Realm began to become unstable.

The Investiture of the Gods hints: There are laws that are stealing from Hell.

The Investiture of the Gods warns: Hell cannot contain this great demon!

The Investiture of the Gods warns: An unknown entity is awakening!
In Wan'an County, Xu Yu suddenly picked up a pen and wrote:
Later generations performed ghost sacrifices!
Later generations performed ghost sacrifices!
Later generations performed ghost sacrifices!
Three consecutive blood-red characters transformed into an ominous curse.

Inside the seventeenth level of hell, the paper figure Zhang knelt before Zang Junji.

Everything felt as if it were fifty-nine years ago.

He was young then, and having experienced family upheaval, he knelt before his ancestors.

He has experienced many hardships and is now ruthless, but when he was desperate, he still knelt before Zang Junji.

Just like the Seventeen-Level Ghost Realm back then.

The Ghost Mother Tai Sui floated in mid-air and was suppressed by Zang Junji.

Countless vengeful ghosts and wronged spirits transformed into tiny black dots floating around Zang Junji.

With the arrival of Paper Man Zhang, the vengeful spirits and ghosts that had been entangled by him were freed from Zang Junji's rule: suppressing the vengeful spirits.

Even though this former emperor general was resurrected as a vengeful ghost after his death, he still faithfully carried out his obsessions from his lifetime.

Countless blood lines hung down, drawing back the vengeful spirits suppressed by the paper figure Zhang, trapping them within its domain.

The paper figure Zhang's body was disintegrated.

The mangled limbs of the vengeful ghosts he collected were eventually taken away one by one by Zang Junji.

His body was instantly riddled with holes and completely disfigured.

Countless lines of blood dripped down onto his body, consuming everything he possessed.

"No, no, no, Ancestor, this is not fair—"

Paper Man Zhang angrily said:
“This world is unfair to me. You are the ancestor of the Zang family. You shouldn’t treat me like this.”

His 'treasured collection' over the years was looted one by one, and he was subsequently suppressed by Zang Junji.

Half of his head was severed, and the face and eyes that belonged to Zang Junji were returned.

The head of another Rakshasa was also removed.

The human skin of the Ghost Painting King's servant and the toes of Sun Shaoyin, which were obtained from Tongshan County, were all suppressed.

His accumulated wealth over the years was gradually stripped away.

A powerful resentment erupted at that moment.

Paper Man Zhang has been neither human nor ghost for years, living only to vent his anger.

Now trapped in the ghost realm, I want to ask my ancestors for help, but they have long since become vengeful ghosts, unable to distinguish friend from foe.

Driven by resentment, he even went so far as to try to control Zang Junji.

Several strands of blood dripped from Zang Junji's body, binding Zang Xiongwu inside.

Zang Xiongwu's face was reflected in Zang Junji's ghost eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of red mist surged from the bodies of the vengeful ghosts trapped by Zang Junji. The mist transformed into a cocoon shape, semi-transparent, like a blood-red eyeball.

And through these enormous 'eyes', Zang Xiongwu's face could be seen.

In a short while, Zang Junji's face began to change, transforming into a young, pale, and slightly distorted male face.

The two demons merged into one.

Zang Junji's laws influenced Zang Xiongwu, and Zang Xiongwu's consciousness began to invade the body of the vengeful ghost.

Hell began to tremble violently.

……

The Investiture of the Gods hints: Two demons merge into one, and Emperor Zang reappears in the world.

He once made a great vow: to suppress all evil spirits in the world.

The ghost is present, so is he; the ghost is gone, so is he.

If there were no ghosts in the world, there would be no "him"; the vengeful spirit remains, and "his" will never dissipate.

……

The moment the announcement of the Investiture of the Gods was made, a violent tremor came from Hell.

Everyone felt extremely uneasy.

Just then, a chilling aura of hellish evil filled the air.

Several crisscrossing, blood-red lines appeared on Zhao Fusheng's face, as if the lines had split her face apart.

"grown ups--"

Upon seeing this scene, Fan Bisi exclaimed in surprise.

The exclamation drew the attention of the others, and they all turned around.

Several blood-red streaks rapidly descended from the top of her head, attempting to split her body in two.

Without saying a word, Kuai Manzhou tied several strands of his long hair around her and bound her tightly.

A dense ghostly aura enveloped Zhao Fusheng, but in an instant, the power within her tore the ghostly hair apart.

The broken ghost hair turned into black ash and scattered.

A cluster of flickering ghost lamps ignited from Zhao Fusheng's body, and wisps of blue smoke escaped from the top of her head.

Judging from the reactions of the crowd, Zhao Fusheng immediately took advantage of the power of the vengeful ghost that promised to give before taking.

As soon as the vengeful ghost appeared, the will-o'-the-wisp flickered and instantly ignited it.

Zhao Fusheng lightly touched the ground with his toes and escaped from where he was.

Where she stood, two crimson footprints were left. The vengeful ghost that had given first and taken later remained where it was. A pair of blood-red embroidered shoes were put on its feet. Its ghostly body was lit up and instantly transformed into a ghostly lamp that slowly ascended into the sky.
