The Emperor is Above

Chapter 516: The Origin of Ghost Master (Additional Update by Zhang Yu 0509 Hall Master)
"Yin Yang Bronze Mirror!"

The Ghost King of the Styx was shocked and angry, "How did this thing end up in your hands?"

Just when Qing Yi thought it would continue asking, unexpectedly, the ghost face of the Styx Ghost King quickly disappeared on the cliff, and he seized the fleeting opportunity to escape.

"Shh-"

The Guibo clone projected the bronze mirror in his hand and pointed it at the cliff where the Styx Ghost King disappeared. A faint blue light was projected away, and an extremely shrill howl came from somewhere.

"Uncle Ghost, have you killed the Ghost King of the Styx?" Qing Yi asked expectantly. A treasure that even the Ghost King in the Mythology Realm was extremely afraid of must be very powerful.

"Kill? No, I won't!"

Gui Bo smiled faintly on his old face and shook his head gently.
“After all, the Ghost King of the Styx is one of the strongest mythical beings in the Netherworld. If it intends to escape, no matter how powerful the Yin-Yang Bronze Mirror is, it will be difficult to kill it in one go.

But the attack just now at least caused it to suffer heavy damage. It will have to hide away and recover for at least half a year. You don’t have to worry about it appearing in the human world within a year.”

Comforting Qing Yi, Gui Bo's clone projected a few random hand seals around him, and the cold air around him disappeared completely in an instant.

"Well, I have also repaired the barrier to the human world that was destroyed by the Ghost King of the Styx, and I have also dealt with all the ghost stone statues buried underground."

He could solve so many troubles with just a wave of his hand. Such powerful strength made Qing Yi envious. However, when he carefully observed Gui Bo's current appearance, he felt worried again.

It was not until the Ghost King of the Styx escaped that Qing Yi discovered that there were obvious scars on the projections of Gui Bo's clones from the fierce battle, which at least showed that Gui Bo's first clone was seriously injured.

Considering what the Ghost King of the Styx just said, such a tragic war will also happen in the Netherworld. This is the Ghost King who is known as the master of the Netherworld and commands the souls of all living beings in the world!

After considering his words in his mind, Qing Yi bowed and asked solemnly, "Uncle Gui, are the Five Ghost Kings of the Netherworld your enemies?
Why did the Ghost King of the Styx say that I was your pawn in the human world when he saw the Soul-Fixing Orb you gave him last time? He said he wanted to cut off your foundation in the human world?"

"Well--"

Gui Bo's old face showed a serious look of thought.

After being injured, he looked more haggard than the last time they met. The damage caused to Gui Bo by the Five Ghost Kings might be more serious than expected.

"Originally there are some things I shouldn't let you know, but if I don't tell you now, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to tell you next time.

All the saints, emperors, and five emperors left irresponsibly, leaving me, an old man who has been dead for tens of thousands of years, to look after the human world.

There are some things that I don’t think many people know about except me, so I’m telling you some things so that you can prepare in advance.”

Gui Bo felt a little resentful. He sighed and held the dazed mountain cat Dabao in his arms. While petting the cat, he slowly explained to Qing Yi,
“Now, the people and living beings in the world only know that I am the ghost who commands the underworld, and they think that the reason why all living beings in the world die is because of my revenge.

There is no tolerance or love, so they feel fear, terror, resentment and other emotions towards me. In fact, things are not that simple. "

It can be heard that Gui Bo's tone is full of regret and emotion, as well as a calm attitude after experiencing many vicissitudes of life, just like an old man with a calm mentality.

“I was born in a very long time ago, even further back than the ancient times you mentioned, when there was not even the concept of the hundreds of races of later generations.

In the time of my father and grandfather, for a period of more than ten years, the sun, moon, and stars disappeared without a trace, and there was darkness between heaven and earth without any light.

The earth would shake and crack violently every day, and the red magma would burn everything. People relied on burning forest fires for lighting and heating. The mountains were surrounded by surging oceans. Whether it was the forests, swamps, wastelands, or mountains, there were ferocious beasts and birds everywhere, and fellow tribesmen would often die tragically. It was a very barbaric and harsh era. "

Qing Yi was surprised when he heard this: "In the past, the four poles were destroyed, the nine states were split, the sky could not cover everything, and the earth could not support everything. Fires burned without extinguishing, and waters were vast and endless. Wild beasts ate the people, and birds of prey snatched the old and weak.

Could this be the era in which your ancestors lived? If you think about it carefully, this era, which is even more distant than the Archaic Era and the Prehistoric Era, is more suitable. "

"Haha, Saint Bai Shi and Emperor Xi also thought so. Anyway, there was no era in my era, so let's just assume it was the Archaic Era!"

Gui Bo smiled calmly, "In my time, the population of each tribe was very small. The tribes had more than a hundred people, and some had as few as a dozen people. They all lived in their own territories.

At that time, my tribe was the largest and strongest within a thousand miles. I was also the strongest and most handsome young man in the tribe, the successor to the next tribe leader, and beautiful girls from dozens of surrounding tribes admired me. "

Tsk, I didn’t expect Gui Bo to be so good at bragging!
Qing Yi curled his lips subconsciously. No matter how handsome he was, how could he compare to the fruit-filled carts in the capital? There were at least several thousand beautiful girls there.

Gui Bo noticed Qing Yi's expression, shook his head with a wry smile, and continued, "Not long after I took over as the clan leader at the age of 30, some ghosts, evil gods, and monsters appeared from nowhere.

At first they merely instigated various tribes to offer sacrifices to them. All the tribes that offered sacrifices would greatly increase their strength. Soon after, they instigated wars among the tribes and plundered the population of other tribes for sacrifice.

At that time, I was young and unyielding, and with my courage and bravery, I led dozens of surrounding tribes to unite and fight back against these tribes that had surrendered to ghosts, evil gods, and monsters.

At first, we won a tragic victory after a fierce battle, but then countless ghosts, evil gods, and monsters frantically hunted our tribes that did not believe in them. I was also killed by an evil god at that time. "

Qing Yi listened attentively with a solemn expression, he never expected that ghosts, evil gods and monsters had been plotting against the human world countless thousands of years ago.

Uncle Gui sighed and continued, “When I woke up again, I found myself no longer in the human world, but in a chaotic, dirty, dark place. Later I realized it was the underworld.

At that time, the underworld was still desolate, filled with all kinds of ghosts, wandering around in a daze without any consciousness.

However, I soon discovered that even in the underworld, ghosts from other realms would often break in, and select powerful souls to hunt and devour.

I was unwilling to become food for ghosts even after my death, so I gathered many souls of various races that had developed spiritual consciousness and formed a ghost army to constantly ambush those ghosts from other realms that entered the netherworld. "

Seeing Gui Bo stop and fall into deep thought, Qing Yi waited for a moment and asked again: "Gui Bo, is this how you became the master of the underworld?"

"Hey, it's not that simple!"

Ghost Uncle sighed and shook his head, “We were weak at first, and even when we ambushed the weakest ghosts, we often suffered heavy losses.

Until suddenly a saint named Bai Shi appeared in the human world. Through decades of hard work, he completely united all the races, and united the strong men of each race to create many cultivation methods.

As the war between the Hundred Races Alliance and ghosts, evil gods, and monsters lasted for tens of thousands of years, the souls of the dead entered the underworld, making our ghost army rapidly stronger. I also met the White Stone Saint once.

The brutal battle lasted for tens of thousands of years, and countless tribes perished in the battle until the beginning of the ancient era, when the first human emperor, Xihuang, emerged.

He took over the position of Saint Bai Shi and united all the creatures in the human world that could be united. The strange beasts, fierce birds, mountain spirits, and tree monsters all joined the Hundred Races Alliance.

Eventually, I led a powerful coalition of hundreds of races to expel and eliminate the ghosts, evil gods, and monsters in the human world. I also relied on the help of the White Stone Saint and the Emperor Xi to unify the netherworld. "
