Shop of All Worlds: The First Customer Princess Jinyang

Chenxiang's heart was filled with desire for life. He still had many unfinished things to do and did not want to die so easily.

"No!"

With a determined look in his eyes, he loudly refuted the words of the God of Death.

"I am very different than you think."

“I believe that life has real value only when one has a heart of universal love. Once one dies, all meaning will vanish.”

In heaven, the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother couldn't help but raise their lips slightly when they heard the words of the God of Death.

In their opinion, if Chenxiang died, all the troubles would be solved.

Still thinking about splitting Mount Hua to save your mother?

Are you still thinking of leading Sun Wukong and others to attack the Heavenly Palace and overthrow their rule?

As long as Chenxiang dies, all these threats will disappear.

In that deep cave, the god of death spoke again, his voice cold but full of temptation:

"Chenxiang, I want you to do something."

"There is a place that is suffering from a plague. Hundreds of people die every day."

"And now, only one man's blood can lift this terrible plague."

Chen Xiang asked eagerly without any hesitation:
"who's that person?"

Death said calmly:
"That person is you."

"You can use your blood to save countless lives."

"But this also means that you must give up your own life. Moreover, if you choose to save these people, you will not be able to borrow the divine axe, and naturally you will not be able to save your mother."

"Now, make your choice."

Chenxiang fell into silence. He stared at the stone pit filled with skulls in front of him. His eyes were full of struggle. No one knew what he was thinking at the moment.

The others all stared at Chenxiang, quietly waiting for his answer. The whole cave was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere.

Mount Emei.

Shengfo Cave.

Yu Shu looked at Ye Jiangnan and was about to ask, but Ye Jiangnan spoke first:

"This is a severe test for Chenxiang, testing whether he will sacrifice his life for the sake of the people of the world."

Yu Shu nodded gently, her eyes focused on Chenxiang on the big screen again, and she prayed for him silently in her heart.

Above the heaven.

The Jade Emperor lowered his voice and asked the Queen Mother:

"My Lady, do you think Chenxiang would choose to die for those people?"

The Queen Mother said quietly:
"It would be best if he died."

"We have saved those mortals, and we are unable to split Mount Hua to rescue his mother. In this way, our troubles are completely solved."

After hearing this, the Jade Emperor frowned slightly. In his heart, he did not like the Queen Mother's cold attitude.

"If Chenxiang really died to save others, then we should release his mother."

The Jade Emperor said calmly.

"Why do this?"

The Queen Mother asked with a frown.

The Jade Emperor explained:
"Chen Xiang sacrificed himself to save mortals. If those mortals he saved knew about his deeds, how would we face the people of the world?"

"What I fear most is losing the incense and offerings from mortals."

"If the people knew about Chenxiang and thought that I, the Jade Emperor, was not doing anything, and they all went to burn incense to Chenxiang, then our prestige would be greatly damaged."

"What are you afraid of?"

The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said with disdain.

"How difficult is it to shut up the mortals?"

"As long as we make up a rumor and describe Chenxiang and his mother as heinous criminals, those mortals will naturally have a bad impression of Chenxiang."

"Don't overthink ordinary people. They are simple-minded and have no opinions of their own. They are like fence-sitters. They go whichever way the wind blows."

"Why do you worry about that?"

The Jade Emperor was stunned by the Queen Mother's words, and he didn't know how to refute for a moment.

Seeing that the Jade Emperor did not speak, the Queen Mother added:
"Your Majesty, don't think too much."

"Don't worry, if you can't make up your mind, let me handle this matter."

The Jade Emperor nodded slightly, but still felt a little uneasy.

Outside another cave, in order to let Sun Wukong and others know about Chenxiang's situation, the Snow God deliberately used his magic power to allow them to see the situation inside the cave.

When they saw Chenxiang hesitating, everyone started talking.

"Is Chenxiang really going to die?"

Zhu Bajie asked uncertainly, his face full of worry.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you idiot!"

Sun Wukong glared at Zhu Bajie unhappily.

Nezha frowned and said:
"But if Chenxiang doesn't die, how can he pass this level?"

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone fell silent because no one knew the answer.

"Chenxiang cannot die!"

Ao Tingxin, the fourth princess of the East China Sea, said anxiously.

"If he dies, what will happen to his mother?"

Little Sizi muttered:

"Let's rescue his mother."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned their eyes to Xiao Sizi.

"What do you think the Lun family is doing?"

"The Lun family is not wrong."

Xiao Sizi shrugged his shoulders and said confidently.

Ying Yinman shook her head and sighed:

"Whether dead or alive, it's not good!"

At this time, Tang Seng clasped his hands together and said slowly:

"To save the world in one lifetime or to save one person in one lifetime, the meaning is actually the same."

"Chen Xiang just needs to follow his heart."

Inside the cave, Chenxiang asked the God of Death:

"Death, can you let me go check out the place that's infected with the plague first?"

"I want to see the situation with my own eyes."

Death replied:

"can."

In an instant, Chenxiang, who was originally in the cave, appeared in a city in the blink of an eye.

Chenxiang was walking on the street and was shocked by the scene before him.

The roadside was lined with people infected with the plague. They were all skinny and extremely weak. They kept coughing, and their faces were full of pain and despair.

Some people were even dead, lying on the ground with their limbs stretched out, their bodies crawling with flies and mosquitoes, emitting a disgusting odor.

Chenxiang frowned and walked along the street to the end.

When he reached the end, he closed his eyes and felt a sharp pain in his heart. The situation before him was much worse than he had imagined.

"Do I...do I really want to sacrifice myself?"

Chenxiang murmured to himself, his heart full of contradictions.

Looking at these people suffering from the plague, Chenxiang felt a strong sense of pity in his heart.

"I want to save them!"

His eyes suddenly became extremely firm. He really couldn't bear to watch these people die like this.

Chenxiang quickly found the medicinal herbs, first boiled them into a medicinal soup, and then resolutely cut his own finger and dripped drops of blood into the soup.

Everyone outside the cave was deeply moved by Chenxiang's actions.

They watched helplessly as Chenxiang delivered bowls of medicine to those infected with the plague.

Chenxiang's face became paler and paler due to excessive blood loss.

Watching Chenxiang, he was finally infected with the plague and lay on the hospital bed.

In the Heavenly Palace, Erlang Shen felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw Chenxiang like this.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out, his eyes full of heartache and helplessness.

Taishang Laojun and Taibai Jinxing looked at each other and saw wet tears in each other's eyes.

Chang'e even covered her face and sobbed, feeling sad for Chenxiang's experience.

The Jade Emperor sighed and was about to say something, but when he saw the cold expression on Queen Mother's face, he swallowed the words back.

At the moment when the Jade Emperor withdrew his gaze, a trace of pity flashed in the eyes of the Queen Mother.

Seeing Chenxiang's current appearance, her heart was shaken a little, but when she thought of the Heavenly Laws and the majesty of Heaven, she forced herself to suppress the reluctance in her heart.

Inside the Snow God Cave.

Sun Wukong and others watched Chenxiang slowly close his eyes.

"Agarwood!"

Everyone shouted in unison, their voices filled with anxiety and worry. "Chen Xiang...he's dead..."

Zhu Bajie's eyes were red and he was muttering to himself.

Little Sizi shouted:

"I'm going to save my apprentice!"

Ying Yinman echoed:

"I also need to go!"

Zhu Wanqing also said:

"go together!"

After saying that, the three little guys rushed out.

Sun Wukong quickly stopped them and asked:
"You want to look for agarwood, but do you know where to find it?"

The three little guys fell silent upon hearing this.

"No matter what, we must find Chenxiang!"

Xiao Sizi said firmly.

"That's right!"

Ying Yinman and Zhu Wanqing also spoke in unison.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong shouted:

"I'll go with you too!"

Zhu Bajie, Tang Seng and others also expressed their desire to go together.

At this moment, the Snow God spoke:
"You don't have to go."

"The god of death will send Chenxiang back."

Sure enough, not long after, Chenxiang was sent back to the Cave of Death.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Chenxiang lying quietly in the cave.

Just as everyone was paying attention to Chenxiang's situation, Erlang Shen's mouth curled up slightly, and then he quietly left Yaochi and returned to Zhenjun Temple - his residence in heaven.

The Temple of the True King.

Roaring Sky Dog walked out of a room carefully holding a silver bowl.

"Xiaotian Dog, if you and Erlang Shen both die this time, will you regret it?"

A female voice came from the silver bowl.

"As long as the master doesn't regret it, I won't regret it."

Roaring Sky Dog smiled brightly and said firmly.

The silver bowl said again:

"What a loyal Roaring Sky Dog!"

Xiaotian Dog was very happy when he heard this, and said quickly:

"Can you say that again?"

The silver bowl repeated:
"I said you are a loyal Sky Dog!"

After hearing this, Xiaotian Dog laughed triumphantly:
"Thank you!"

"Thank you!"

"Don't praise me anymore!"

"Let's hurry to Kunlun Mountain! The master is already there!"

After saying that, Xiaotian Dog held the silver bowl and jumped out of the Zhenjun Temple.

……

In Kunlun Mountain, everyone rushed to the Cave of Death.

"Chenxiang, you are not dead, right?"

Little Sizi ran up to Chenxiang and gently patted Chenxiang's face with his chubby little hands.

Ying Yinman put her hand in front of Chenxiang's nose and carefully felt his breath.

"He's still breathing. He's not dead."

Ying Yinman said.

Zhu Bajie was still a little worried, so he put his finger in front of Chenxiang's nose and probed again.

After Xin Zhu Bajie touched it, he said seriously:
"He is indeed not dead."

Everyone was completely relieved.

"Chenxiang, wake up."

Zhu Bajie patted Chenxiang's face with his palm. He was much stronger than Xiao Sizi.

Chen Xiang slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw everyone, he asked with a puzzled look on his face:
"Why are you all here?"

Zhu Bajie said unhappily:
"What do you say?"

“It almost scared us to death.”

Little Sizi pouted and said unhappily:
"We all thought you were dead!"

"Chenxiang, you must be more careful next time."

Chenxiang lowered his head embarrassedly and said:
"I'm so sorry to have made you worry about me."

Sun Wukong hurriedly urged:

"Don't say polite words."

"Hurry up and adjust yourself, and recover your mana and physical strength."

Chenxiang nodded, then sat cross-legged on the ground and began to adjust his true energy.

No one disturbed him and waited quietly for Chenxiang to recover.

Time passed by minute by minute. After a long time, Chenxiang said excitedly:
"My inner strength seems to have increased a lot!"

Before anyone could respond, the voice of the Grim Reaper rang out:

"Everyone will support a person who loves others."

"Everyone will trust a person who can resist temptation."

"And for someone who is willing to sacrifice for everyone, everyone can also sacrifice for him."

"So, the power that is expanding in your body is not simply magic power, but everyone's power. It is the power given to you by all beings in the three realms."

"But even if you have the power given to you by all the beings in the three realms, you may not be able to really take away the divine axe."

Chenxiang frowned and asked in confusion:

"why?"

Death replied:

"You need one more thing."

Chen Xiang asked quickly:

"what?"

"wisdom."

Death's voice was deep and powerful.

Chen Xiang was full of doubts, frowned slightly, and said puzzledly:
"I don't understand what you mean, could you please explain it more clearly?"

The voice of the god of death was calm and mysterious, as if it contained endless wisdom:
"You will understand. When the time comes, everything will become clear."

At this moment, everyone who was originally in the cave only felt a flash of light before their eyes, and the surrounding scene changed instantly.

When they looked around again, they found themselves at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

Coincidentally, they had passed by this place when they came here, but the sudden change left everyone puzzled.

As everyone was puzzled and trying to figure out what was going on, Kunlun Mountain suddenly shook violently, and the entire mountain seemed to be trembling.

"Hey, what's going on?"

Chenxiang looked nervous and shouted loudly.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Sun Wukong was extremely alert and immediately spoke out to warn everyone. At the same time, he glanced around sharply, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

suddenly!

There was a loud bang, and a huge rock could not bear the weight and shattered.

Then, a dazzling light that was too bright to look at burst out from the broken rocks.

The light was extremely strong, and it shot straight into the sky like a substance, stinging everyone's eyes so much that they could hardly open their eyes.

Everyone in heaven was also affected by the light. They quickly closed their eyes or used their hands to block the dazzling light to avoid being hurt by it.

Ye Jiangnan and Yu Shu, who were far away in Mount Emei, seemed to be well prepared. They had already put on sunglasses.

The dazzling light did not cause much trouble to the two of them, and they could still observe everything in front of them clearly.

After a while, the light gradually dissipated, and everyone dared to look again at where the light was coming from.

I saw an axe firmly stuck in the ground among the pile of rubble.

The Axe of Creation was of an ancient dark gold color, with a broad and heavy body, exuding a majestic and mysterious aura.

The axe blade was extremely sharp, flashing a cold light, as if it could easily split anything in the world.

There are exquisite patterns carved on the axe handle, which seem to be some ancient and mysterious runes, revealing a sense of vicissitudes of time.

There is also a faint halo surrounding the axe body, as if it is the condensation of divine power, giving people a feeling of inviolability.

There is no doubt that this axe with extraordinary momentum is the Axe of Creation that they have been searching for. (End of this chapter)
