I become a god in another world

Chapter 793 A Turning Point in Life

Chapter 793

Paper Man Zhang also laughed:

"Yes, I'm a ghost too."

He had previously denied this, but now he readily admitted it:

"At that time, I thought that someone like me shouldn't be alive."

Finally, he added:

"But I still have a son. Before I die, I have to make arrangements for my son, right?"

Zhao Fusheng remained silent.

Paper Man Zhang didn't seem to care and continued:
"So I had the idea of ​​entrusting my child to someone else."

He wanted to entrust the young Zhang Chuanshi to Aunt Hu and her husband.

"Chuanshi is not young anymore, and he is sensible. My family has a paper craft shop, which we will give to Aunt Hu along with the paper offerings, as a way to ask them to raise my son."

So on that day, he embarked on his journey home.

Throughout the journey, he pondered how to arrange his affairs after death and how to end his own life.

But what they hadn't expected was that they would run into each other over the matter of entrusting the child to someone else.

……

The past is like smoke, Zhang the Paper Doll said, pausing for a moment before laughing:
"Soon afterward, the 'me' from back then will come here, and he will be met with a cold shoulder."

People in this world are not as simple as the original 'he' imagined.

The world is cold and selfish, and human nature is sharp and mean. On that day, it affected the fate of many people and many things.

"That day, I knocked on the door with the resolve to die," he said.

"real!"

Zhao Fusheng fell silent again.

"But Aunt Hu didn't open the door," said the paper figure Zhang.
“The door is too thin; it can't block out any noise inside. I heard the couple arguing quietly. Brother Hu wanted to get out of bed, but Sister-in-law Hu stopped him.”

He didn't say what Zhang the Paper Doll was feeling at that moment.

But Zhao Fusheng could imagine that his feelings must have been very complicated.

He ranked his immediate memories after those of important events, which proves that what happened here influenced his entire life.

Zhao Fusheng listened quietly, and the paper figure Zhang said:
“I heard the two of them arguing. At first I was shocked and saddened, and then I was angry.”

At this moment, he made a crucial decision.

“I still explained the whole story, and I know they heard me. If they're willing to open the door within the time frame I specified, then we can let it go.”

He didn't say the second "if".

Zhao Fusheng couldn't help but frown:

"You probably haven't considered giving them another chance, have you?"

Upon hearing this, Paper Man Zhang couldn't help but laugh:

"I never expected that you would know me the most."

After saying that, his tone turned serious and he said domineeringly:
"That's right! I decided then and there to slaughter his entire family!"

Zhao Fusheng's face turned cold.

Paper Doll Zhang took in her look of disgust and continued:
“I was young then and refused to admit that I had murderous thoughts, but in reality I really didn’t intend to spare the Hu family members.”

However, at that time, he was thinking:

If the Hu family opens the door promptly after he has explained the whole story, he will rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.

"why?"

Zhao Fusheng asked.

Paper Man Zhang is justified:

“They watched Chuanshi grow up, and they should know my character very well. I promised to hand over all the Zang family shops and deeds to them, but even if I didn’t say these words, they would know. But they agreed after I said them, which proves that they are greedy and insatiable. They took in my son for the money, but if they squander it all in the future, they will definitely treat my son harshly.”

After saying that, he said coldly:

"So they deserve to be killed."

Zhao Fusheng then asked:
"What if you offer to give away property, but the other party still doesn't want to take it over? What will you do then?"

Paper Doll Zhang Dao:

“I have been kind to them before. My wife Wenqing took care of Sister Hu. This is tantamount to being given a second chance at life. This person knows that my family is in trouble, but he does not think of repaying the favor. He is nothing but a despicable person.”

He said coldly:

"If such a villain is not killed, he might die and become a vengeful ghost, only to bring disaster to the world."

Therefore, they deserve to be killed!

"..."

Zhao Fusheng paused for a moment, then asked again:

"What if the other party agrees to take in your son, but doesn't want your property, and then hands over your family's property to your son when he grows up? How would you respond then?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Paper Man Zhang burst into laughter.

"If they say that, they must be intimidated by my threats. Hypocritical people are not to be trusted and should be killed!"

"So you have to kill someone no matter what," Zhao Fusheng concluded.

Paper figure Zhang nodded:
"That's right, I'm determined to kill the Hu family!"

He harbored murderous intent long before they opened the door immediately and the couple started blaming and blaming each other.

He was going through a period of dramatic change at that time, and his life was at a crossroads.

The ancestral vengeful spirit, who was desperately seeking help, revived. After his own journey through hell, he himself became neither human nor ghost.

Upon returning, he encountered the selfish and inhumane Hu family, which completely triggered the dark side of Paper Man Zhang's heart, bringing out all the resentment and anger he had accumulated throughout his life.

Murderous intent consumed him. With the death of the Hu family, Zang Xiongwu was also 'killed' by himself in that moment. The only one who survived was the paper effigy Zhang, who later committed numerous evils.

……

The journey of the deceased returning to their ancestral home by following their footsteps ends here.

Inside the Zang Clan Ancestral Hall, everything continues to follow the historical process that once unfolded.

The young Zang Xiongwu, who controls ghosts, returns and entrusts his orphan to the Hu couple. The Hu family refuses, which ultimately leads to a major upheaval.

The sounds of doors being pushed open and screams echoed throughout the room.

Pleading voices rang out, but it was too late.

The sound fades away.

Paper Doll Zhang looked at Zhao Fusheng:

"Those who control ghosts never have a good ending."

Even someone as powerful as Zhao Fusheng cannot escape this law.

Dealing with ghosts is like walking a tightrope.

In the battle of Wuqing County, she divided herself to form laws.

At this moment, in order to lure himself into hell, he personally used Xie's method of summoning ghosts.

"Can you turn back?" the paper figure asked with a smile.

The two had dealt with each other many times and were already old rivals, so they knew each other's backgrounds quite well.

As Zhang the Paper Doll spoke, he looked around.

With past grievances behind them, the two have returned to the banks of the Yellow Springs River in hell.

At this moment, the truth of hell was revealed to the two: beside them was the boundless Yellow Springs, with surging rivers and fierce ghosts floating within.

Familiar and unfamiliar faces emerged from among them, glaring venomously at the people on the shore.

Clusters of dark red ghost flowers covered the shore of the underworld, and vengeful spirits were trapped and walked along the bank. Zhao Fusheng led the way, with a blood-red moon hidden in the thick fog above.

The law of the underworld: Once you embark on this path, there is no turning back.

This was the choice that Zhuang Si Niangzi made back then, and it was also the continuation of her obsession.

Zhao Fusheng possessed extraordinary power, surpassing even the highest levels of law—Kuai Manzhou, who controlled the Yellow Springs and the Other Shore, followed her every command.

If Zhao Fusheng wants to turn back, Kuai Manzhou will make it happen for her.

"I won't turn back," Zhao Fusheng said.
"I will take you to the depths of hell, and I will not stop until I do."

"Hahahaha!" Paper Man Zhang burst into loud laughter:

“The depths of hell cannot subdue me!” He said meaningfully, “I have entered the seventeenth level of the ghost realm twice, and both times I came and went freely.”

“I can open the eighteenth level of the Ghost Realm,” Zhao Fusheng said.

"The Eighteenth Level of Ghost Realm?!" Paper Doll Zhang's laughter faltered. After a long while, he sighed:
"If you reopen the Ghost Realm to suppress me, it naturally involves the laws of nature. What makes you so confident that you can suppress me?"

Zhao Fusheng moved forward slowly, leaving a footprint wherever she went. Although the paper figure Zhang was talking, each footprint obediently followed behind her, being led forward by her.

“I can subdue you,” Zhao Fusheng said.

"Because the eighteen levels of hell are both the prison and me."

"I am willing to become a prison myself, to imprison you within it forever." Her tone was calm, but the meaning behind her words stunned the paper figure Zhang.

"You?" he said in surprise, then added in a heavy tone, "You!"

“Even if you have already established the laws, if you want to suppress me, it means that you yourself are the law, which means there is no turning back for you, and you will be resurrected as a vengeful ghost,” Paper Doll Zhang warned.

“The other side of the Yellow Springs is a road of no return. Once you step onto it, there is no turning back. I have never thought of leaving once I have entered,” Zhao Fusheng said.

Paper Doll Zhang sighed, "Was it worth it?"

"It's worth it." Zhao Fusheng nodded.

"The power of destruction is greater than that of construction."

Paper Doll Zhang was silent for a moment:

"Even without me, this world is already ruined—"

Zhao Fusheng shook his head:
"It can't be destroyed."

Paper figure Zhang Buxin:
How can you be so sure?

Zhao Fusheng walked forward step by step and said:
“Zang Xiongwu, you are short-sighted and cannot see the future.”

He had been mistreated by life, and briefly lived a positive life, but the moment his faith was destroyed, he stubbornly believed that there was no hope for the world.

"The people you look down on will eventually save themselves. In the course of time, whether it is the Former Han or the Later Han, they are just a drop in the ocean of time."

Zhao Fusheng pulled him forward.

She couldn't see the end ahead, but she knew it wasn't time to stop:
"In my view, if we compare the course of history to a person, the hundreds of years of the Han Dynasty, the dark and hopeless world in your eyes, are just a small, insignificant wound on this giant."

"This wound is festering and festering, and we're in it, so you feel like the sky is falling."

However, for the giant as a whole, as long as the abscess is treated, the wound will naturally heal completely over time.

“The people are not ignorant,” Zhao Fusheng said.
"It's just that before people have enough to eat and wear, they don't have time to think about other ways out. This is what you call the ignorant masses, and the selfish and self-interested character traits you mentioned."

But one day, someone will realize this, there will be followers, and they will move towards a better place.

Humanity will eventually find its own way out.

Her words left the paper figure Zhang speechless. After a long while, he asked suspiciously:
Will that day ever come?

“It will happen,” Zhao Fusheng nodded.

"Have you seen it?" Paper Man Zhang asked again.

Zhao Fusheng remained silent for a moment, then finally sighed, "I have lived."

Even in such a world, people inevitably have selfish and self-interested sides; this is human nature and cannot be eliminated.

"But there are many more good people."

After she finished speaking, she fell silent.

After a long while, the paper figure Zhang said softly:
"I've never seen it before, and I didn't know there would be such a time."

他 说:

"I shouldn't have believed it—"

A person like him is dark-hearted, extremely suspicious of others, and doesn't believe anything others say. He doesn't value his own life, so naturally he doesn't care about the lives of others. He admires violence, and since he has been treated maliciously, he will treat others with the same malice.

What Zhao Fusheng said was like a fairy tale to him.

"But for some reason, I want to believe it."

How wonderful it would be if that day ever came!
Paper Doll Zhang Dao:

"I hope all of this is true—"

"If—" he paused, "If back then, the people we met—"

He said with difficulty:

"If it were you, everything might be different."

If Zang Xiongshan had not been treated harshly, and if the chief of the Zhenmo Division in Guanjiang County had been someone like Zhao Fusheng, the miscarriage of justice would not have occurred, and Zang Xiongshan would not have been escorted to the capital.

Rakshasa would not kill someone in a fit of rage, and ultimately died in prison.

Perhaps none of the later events would have happened, and Zang Xiongwu might still have lived a poor and difficult life. Perhaps in his later years, he would be completely different from his father.

“If Wenqing and I get old and our children grow up, I won’t be like my father. If Wenqing gets sick, I will borrow money at high interest rates to treat her and give her a grand funeral. I won’t let her be like my mother, who died without even a grave, with no descendants to pay their respects, and ultimately turned into a pile of bones, lying alone on the ground.”

His voice was low, and then he suddenly couldn't help but laugh:
"Why am I saying all this? Come to think of it, I haven't done a single good deed—"

He said sadly:

"Wenqing and I never had a single good day together. After she passed away—"

In fact, after Liu Wenqing died, her vengeful spirit was resurrected and was immediately controlled by Zang Xiongshan. Zang Xiongwu never erected a cenotaph for her again.

For decades, Zhang Chuanshi was unable to pay respects to his mother.

Throughout their lives, the father and son instinctively fled the old Zang family ancestral hall and never returned to the place.

As Paper Man Zhang spoke, perhaps because he was about to die, he suddenly felt an indescribable heartache.

After the thoughts of resentment, malice, and revenge against the world were suppressed, the sorrow and emotions of humanity resurfaced.

He thought of his third brother from back then, and of the times he had shared drinks and laughter with his brother Luocha.
He recalled the lively and adorable young Zang Chuanshi, who cheerfully called him "Dad." Ultimately, the image of this child was combined with the later image of the aged and weary Zhang Chuanshi.

"To be passed down through generations—to be passed down through generations, my son—"

He began to experience excruciating pain.

The regret that came fifty or sixty years too late swept over them in an instant.

He had no regrets when he returned to the Zang family ancestral hall.

Even when he met Zhang Chuanshi, who had been resurrected by the vengeful ghost, he still had no regrets.

But after his son's death, his obsession was not to stay away from him, but to turn the memory of that moment when he wandered around Zhao Fusheng into the sharpest and most incomparable ghost knife in the world, which began to gouge out his heart.

"You're not a coward, you're not a coward—"

He murmured:
"be mine--"

He ultimately refused to admit his mistake.

However, he was headstrong and driven by hatred, which ultimately led to a terrible mistake that he regretted for the rest of his life, with no turning back.

Fortunately, the world was just as bad as he had imagined.

The common people are ignorant, corrupt officials run rampant, and the demon-suppressing officials who control ghosts are above all living beings.

Fifty or sixty years later, the situation is exactly the same as it was many years ago; the world has not changed.

This undoubtedly soothed the guilt, fear, and unease in Paper Man Zhang's heart, but anger, darkness, and cruelty rose in his mind.
