Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 277: Netherworld Killing

Compared with innate spiritual treasures, acquired treasures have many defects, but because they are created after birth, they are more malleable, and their power will be affected by the outside world and will continue to increase.

Just like the register in Ao Bing's hand, at this moment, it is just an ordinary acquired spiritual treasure, but after being integrated with the authority of the underworld, it will become an acquired supreme treasure, the Book of Life and Death, which has the great power to control the life and death of all spirits.

And this is not its limit. In the future, as more and more living beings are recorded on it, its power will continue to increase.

When all acquired creatures between heaven and earth are recorded in it, the register will transform into the Book of Man among the Three Books of Heaven, Earth and Man, with power over life and death for all things, and its power is second only to the innate treasure.

If we go one step further on this basis and record the information of innate creatures on it, then the register will complete the final transformation, from acquired to innate, and be promoted to an innate treasure, dominating life and death and commanding all spirits.

However, this is not what Ao Bing can hope for now. Right now, the most important thing for him is to refine the register into a book of life and death first.

"Power of the Netherworld, combine!"

Ao Bing raised the register and threw it into the Netherworld. Instantly, the Netherworld felt it, and strands of original power diffused out, turning into flowing rules, wrapping the register and slowly merging with it.

Gradually, the register began to change, turning dark overall, emitting a spooky, eerie aura that was chilly and gloomy, as if freezing the void.

In addition, the big words "Registration" on the cover of the register also began to change. First, they became blurred, and then were replaced by the words "life and death".

Soon, the contents recorded in the register increased. In addition to the basic information, information such as life span, fortune and misfortune gradually appeared.

But it is not enough. This little information is not enough to evolve a complete book of life and death.

Noticing this scene, Ao Bing suddenly had an epiphany. He took out the mostly-completed catalog of prehistoric history from his arms, held it high up, and used it as an anchor to pull the long river of time and space to manifest some of its projections.

Wow!
An illusory river of light emerged, composed entirely of hazy light. No one knew where it came from or where it went, and it flowed through the void.

This is a projection of the long river of time and space. The hazy light that constitutes it is all the history of the past, recording everything that happened in the past, no matter how big or small, and contains the majestic power of time.

Now, Ao Bing used the catalog of prehistoric history to intercept a section of the long river of time and space, allowing it to slowly flow through the transforming book, giving it the power of time.

In an instant, the register was transformed into the Book of Life and Death, and the most important missing link was completed at this moment.

On the register, below each name, there appeared lines of deeds, which were the portrayal of their life, both past and future.

This is the Book of Life and Death, which determines one's life and death. At the moment of birth, their future is determined, even how and when they will die are clearly arranged.

There is no doubt that this involves the power of time, so Ao Bing summoned the long river of time and space, merged it with the origin of the underworld and the power of humanity, and jointly refined the register to transform it into the legendary Book of Life and Death.

Refining an acquired treasure, especially one that involves the power of life and death, must take a very long time. But under the interference of the long river of time and space, time suddenly becomes meaningless.

Therefore, within a few days, the transformation of the register was completed and it turned into a dark divine register with the two large characters "Life and Death" written on it.

People write the book of life and death!
The legendary treasure of the underworld, the powerful killing weapon that controls life and death, was refined by Ao Bing in this way.

It’s a pity that its power is not as strong as imagined. At most, it can suppress the Golden Immortal. It is impossible to suppress anything stronger than that.

But this is not a problem with the Book of Life and Death, but a problem with Ao Bing.

The power of the Book of Life and Death is related to the number of lives recorded in it. The more lives recorded, the stronger the power. Conversely, the fewer lives recorded, the weaker the power.

The legendary Book of Life and Death records all living things in the world. It is naturally extremely powerful and is a treasure of heaven and earth.

However, the Book of Life and Death in Ao Bing's hand only recorded the creatures of the Human-Dragon Kingdom, and did not even record the creatures of the entire Dragon Domain. Its power was naturally limited. It was good enough to suppress the Daluo Golden Immortal, and one must not expect too much.

If one wants to increase the power of the Book of Life and Death, it will then depend on Ao Bing's ability to record all the remaining acquired creatures in the Book of Life and Death.

This is not a simple matter. Once your name is entered into the Book of Life and Death, your life and death will be supervised by it, and your life will also be recorded by it.

This kind of thing doesn't matter to people without background, and even if they do, they can't resist and can only passively accept it. But for people with background, it is absolutely unacceptable.

How could their lives and deaths fall into the hands of outsiders? How could their life stories be known to outsiders? Not even the Book of Life and Death.

Whoever dares to write their names in the Book of Life and Death is their enemy, and they will resist to the death and teach him a lesson.

"Heaven is getting carried away. It's such a great thing to promote the evolution of heaven and earth, but He has to do all these unnecessary things. Isn't He afraid of messing things up completely?"

Ao Bing now had some understanding of the nature of the Heavenly Dao, so after a moment of hesitation, he understood the Heavenly Dao's intention.

The Heavenly Dao is deliberately provoking conflicts so that the cultivators can kill each other, thereby further reducing the pressure on heaven and earth.

Why do I say this? The reason is very simple. The life and death of all born creatures are under the control of heaven.

In other words, as long as Heaven is willing, the Book of Life and Death can be completed in a single thought and become a book of humanity.

But He didn't do that. Instead, He asked Ao Bing to refine an incomplete human book, which required suppressing all forces before it could be completed.

The purpose of going through so much trouble is very obvious, which is to use the Book of Life and Death as a trap to induce the monks to kill each other.

If you want to complete the Book of Life and Death, you must subdue all forces and force them to hand over the information of all acquired lives within their sphere of influence.

However, this information is not without value. Handing it over will inevitably result in the loss of some luck.

At the same time, after handing over the information, before achieving immortality, all their actions will be monitored by the Book of Life and Death.

As a monk, everyone has some little secrets, and many of them have even done things that are shameful.

How could they accept the thought of all these secrets being exposed in the Book of Life and Death? They wanted to tear the Book of Life and Death into pieces.

Therefore, if the Book of Life and Death wants to be complete, it will inevitably cause conflicts and lead to the tragic deaths of a large number of monks. However, the completion of the Book of Life and Death is a must, as the treasure of the netherworld must be complete.

Ao Bing held the Book of Life and Death and did not think about completing it. Then the Book of Life and Death was not an opportunity for him, but a calamity.

If it is not sent away in time, it will inevitably bring disaster, resulting in the Book of Life and Death being snatched away by others, and you will also be disgraced and lose face.

"It's not a big problem. Compared to the Conferred God Killing Tribulation, which involves saints, the Netherworld Killing Tribulation can only be said to be a minor incident." "Even if it gets bigger and things get out of control, at most more monks will die, which is not a bad thing for the Heavenly Dao."

After thinking about it, Ao Bing felt that he was overthinking it. The probability of Heaven's will going astray in this matter was extremely low. After all, the Book of Life and Death was not the List of Gods, which would force the three religions to death.

The Book of Life and Death is aimed at those cultivators who have not yet become Golden Immortals and have not achieved immortality, and does not involve top-level powerhouses.

Even if they were allowed to make trouble, how much trouble could they cause? Heavenly Dao only needed to make a slight move to suppress all the chaos.

However, although this is the truth, Ao Bing still feels that this matter cannot be handled by him. In recent years, he has been a knife to the Heavenly Dao too many times. If he continues to be a knife, he may incur public anger.

If you can't deal with the Heavenly Dao, can you deal with him? Ao Bing doesn't want to die in a confused state, being killed inexplicably. Therefore, it is better to leave the task of perfecting the Book of Life and Death to others.

As for who to hand it over to? There are many candidates. The netherworld is full of ghosts and gods, all of whom want to have a decent background. Just hand it over to them.

Let them be cannon fodder and fight with those monks who don't want to be included in the Book of Life and Death. Whether they succeed or not in the end, it will be a good thing for Ao Bing.

If they failed, at least they had consumed the enemy's strength, so their death was not in vain. And to some extent, they were also Ao Bing's enemies, just like those who did not want to be included in the Book of Life and Death.

Letting them fight would be like dog-eat-dog. No matter who dies, it will only benefit Ao Bing, not harm him. If they can both perish, that would be the best.

Of course, if the ghosts and gods win in the end, it doesn’t matter. They can suppress all forces, which shows their strength. They make the Book of Life and Death complete, which shows their merits.

They are both capable and virtuous. It is hard to find such a good group of subordinates even with a lantern.

Ao Bing is not a fool. He will definitely recruit them as soon as possible and appoint them as underworld gods to help him rule the netherworld.

Yes, that's right, divide the duplicate volume of the Book of Life and Death into countless copies, send them to various places in the underworld, and let those ambitious and powerful ghosts and gods do this.

If it fails, it will consume the strength of both sides. If it succeeds, while destroying the enemy, you can also gain a group of powerful subordinates. In any case, you will not lose anything, so there is no reason not to do it.

Moreover, this was an open conspiracy. Everyone knew that Ao Bing was plotting against them, but the benefits were real and they simply could not refuse. Even though they knew it was a trap, they had to jump into it.

As for the cultivators, it was not Ao Bing who forced them to hand over the information. He did nothing but revealed the Book of Life and Death to the world according to the arrangement of Heaven.

The rest were all spontaneous actions of the ghosts and gods, and had nothing to do with Ao Bing. He did not give orders to these ghosts, nor did he support them.

As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Even if the monk wanted to take revenge afterwards, he would not be able to find the culprit.

The more Ao Bing thought about it, the clearer his ideas became. Soon, a plan to improve the Book of Life and Death while weakening the power of Pure Land took shape in his mind.

He didn't know whether the ghosts and gods could complete the Book of Life and Death in the end. But he knew that once this plan was launched, the ghosts and gods would be seriously injured regardless of whether they succeeded or not.

And that would be his best chance to sweep the Pure Land and unify the underworld.

……

That is, when Ao Bing was refining the Book of Life and Death, City God Temples in various places had been built one after another, and the City God and his officials had all returned to their positions, sitting in the yamen, waiting for the ghost soldiers to bring the ghosts from the gods' realm for the final judgment.

brush……

Before the city gods were ready to judge the ghosts, a dark book suddenly appeared in front of them, with the words "life and death" written on it.

This is a duplicate volume of the Book of Life and Death, and its function is the same as that of the Book of Life and Death. It is equivalent to its clone or replica, and is used to assist the City God in judging ghosts.

With the Book of Life and Death, the information of the ghosts being interrogated can be seen at a glance. Whether they are good or evil, and whether they have done evil deeds, it is all recorded in the Book of Life and Death, and it is impossible to conceal it.

In this way, the efficiency of the trial can naturally be greatly improved, without having to ask too many questions and finding ways to verify the truth of what the ghost said.

After the Book of Life and Death appeared, strands of the power of life and death surged out of its body and transformed into a dark black brush not far away. The brush was as crystal clear as jade.

It is the companion treasure of the Book of Life and Death, the Spring and Autumn Samsara Pen, also known as the Judge's Pen, which can determine life and death with just one stroke.

Like the Book of Life and Death, the Judge's Pen is not perfect and its power is far from reaching its limit. Its power is linked to the Book of Life and Death. The stronger the Book of Life and Death, the stronger this pen is.

A judge came forward, holding the Book of Life and Death in one hand and the judge's pen in the other, and cooperated with the City God to begin judging the ghosts brought up by the ghost soldiers.

As the ghosts were judged one by one, a force descended from the dark, causing Ao Bing to frown tightly.

Here comes the mission again!
God asked him to open up the Yellow Springs Road, build the City of the Dead, and establish the Eighteen Levels of Hell to first build the framework of the underworld.

And these things cannot be delayed and need to be done immediately.

Let’s talk about Huangquan Road first. This is the road that ghosts take to the underworld. Walking along this road, not only can you reach the underworld directly, but you will not be corroded by negative energy along the way. It can be considered a safe passage.

In addition, Huangquan Road is also connected to the City God Temple. The ghosts who have been judged are escorted by ghost soldiers along this road to the underworld.

Huangquan Road is the official road built for them.

The City of the Wrongly Dead is where the people who died unjustly live. What is an unjustly dead? It refers to people who died prematurely before their life span is over.

Although the Book of Life and Death specifies the date of death for each person, it is not the law of nature after all, and it is impossible to arrange everything clearly.

Therefore, the death date it stipulates only states that the person will die on that day. It cannot guarantee that the person will not encounter an accident before that day and will definitely live to the end of his life span.

It is normal to encounter accidents in life. It is not uncommon to die in vain or be killed by others.

But if a person dies before his life span is over, he must have resentment in his heart. If he does not see his enemy suffer retribution with his own eyes, how can he resolve the resentment in his heart and reincarnate with peace of mind?
Therefore, it is necessary to build a city of the dead in the underworld for these people who died unjustly to live in, so that they can see with their own eyes the retribution of their enemies, and then reincarnate with peace of mind.

The Eighteen Levels of Hell, as the name suggests, is the place where those who committed evil deeds during their lifetime are punished after death. It is an indispensable part of the underworld.

The City God judges ghosts, including those who died unjustly, those who died of old age, good and bad. In short, he arranges a place for them to go.
