Chapter 512 Illusory Body Becomes Human, Ascension

"Could it be true?"

Li Li looked at Lü Miaomiao beside him and asked with some disbelief.

"Whether it's true or not, what's it to you if I try? Are you going to do it or not? If not, I'll find someone else to do it!"

Lü Miaomiao said somewhat impatiently.

Upon hearing this, Li Li dared not say anything more, for she was his ideal woman.

Li Li never expected that his first time entering Bai Yueguang's room would not be for a date, but for burning paper money in the early morning!
Lü Miaomiao ignored Li Li's thoughts and instead separated the paper money into pieces and put them into the basin so that they would burn more easily later.

The reason she did this was because of the house she rented.

During this period, strange noises could be heard in her house every night, but no matter how hard Lü Miaomiao searched, she couldn't find them.

Originally, Lü Miaomiao wanted Li Li to help her open the ceiling of the room to see if there were any rats in the interlayer.

By chance, Lü Miaomiao saw a post about ghosts that a friend had forwarded. The post wasn't particularly scary, but the things it said seemed very real.

In addition, she had been on a business trip to another city recently and had heard a lot about the supernatural. As a result, she lost the courage to ask Li Li to open the ceiling partition.

She was terrified that Li Li might see something like a corpse inside. What would she do then?
So she thought she should try the methods in the post first. If the methods worked, that would be best. If they didn't work or nothing happened, then it would be fine to have Li Li open the ceiling and take a look.

But if it really doesn't work, she'll take her video recording and use it to criticize that post!

Lu Miaomiao glanced at the phone propped up beside her and thought to herself.

She shouldn't waste her time believing these things, only to find out in the end that they were false, while the person who spread the rumors got away scot-free.

So he wanted to record it all!
"Are you ready? If anything happens and you dare to abandon me and run away, don't ever say you know me again!"

Lü Miaomiao glared at Li Li, who gave a wry smile.

How could I possibly abandon you?

Without saying much, Lü Miaomiao took out Li Li's lighter and lit the paper offerings in the basin.

"Add more paper, don't let the fire go out."

Lü Miaomiao gave the instructions, then walked over and turned on the phone's video recording function.

Back near the brazier, she took out three incense sticks and lit them. After the flames on the incense sticks went out, Lü Miaomiao reviewed the contents of the post in her mind and nervously read out the sentence.

"Please, Underworld, open the gates of hell!"

After saying that, Lü Miaomiao suddenly realized that she seemed to have forgotten to bow first.

"Start over, start over, the previous one doesn't count."

As she spoke, she stood up again.

With her eyes closed, she held three incense sticks to her forehead and slowly bowed three times. Then, without opening her eyes, she slowly recited the sentence.

"Please, Underworld, open the gates of hell!"

Li Li looked at Lü Miaomiao with infatuation in his eyes.

Although the atmosphere was a bit off during her first visit to Bai Yueguang's house, Lü Miaomiao's face looked really beautiful in the firelight.

I really want to kiss her, but will she be upset with me?

Looking at those glistening lips, Li Li, not knowing where the courage came from, slowly stood up and was about to lean his head closer.

But just then, the flames in the brazier between the two suddenly shot up, startling him.

Before he could even utter a curse, he witnessed a scene that left him speechless.

The flames in the brazier intertwined and flew upwards, and in a short while, a virtual gate as tall as a person was formed above the brazier.

The illusory gate looked very strange; it didn't look like something a normal person would build. It looked more like something that only appears in anime and movies.

Why would something that's only in anime movies appear in front of him?

Just as Li Li was in a daze, Lü Miaomiao, who had been keeping her eyes closed, opened them.

After she saw the door made of flames, she couldn't shut her mouth anymore.

"Li Li, is this...is this real?"

"probably."

Li Li swallowed hard and looked at Lü Miaomiao.

"Miaomiao, what's next? What should we do next?"

When Lü Miaomiao heard Li Li ask this question, she felt a little flustered.

"I don't know. The post only said that after summoning the Gate of Hell, then, then, then..."

"Just what?"

Li Li asked anxiously, but suddenly noticed that the firelight in the room began to flicker.

When he turned around, he saw the vanished door and the illusory fire tiger that had appeared.

After the fire tiger appeared, it leaped up and stuck its head and front paws into the ceiling.

Moments later, Fire Tiger leaped down from the ceiling.

At that moment, a head with a full head of black hair was being held in the tiger's mouth.

Fire Tiger glanced at the two men, and while they froze, it leaped into the brazier.

The fire pit went out at that moment, leaving behind a few ashes and remnants.

In the pitch-black room, only two people remained standing there, stunned.

"Li Li, was I hallucinating just now?"

"Maybe I was hallucinating too."

After a long silence, Lü Miaomiao suddenly remembered something and ran to where she had put her phone.

Turn off recording and turn on video.

From beginning to end, everything was captured in the video except for the head that was being held in the mouth.

Lü Miaomiao looked up blankly at Li Li.

"Li Li, it looks like we're about to become famous."

That evening, a video appeared on various short video platforms. The video was short, but the visuals were very exciting.

Some people don't believe it, but others imitate it.

As a result, anyone in the same city who imitated this either had a fiery ghost gate appear in their home, or a fire tiger transformed from a fiery gate appeared in their home.

Those who transformed into fire tigers all claimed that something unclean from their homes had been carried away by the fire tiger, but this was not shown in the video.

But there is no doubt that the gate to hell will indeed appear.

As a result, more and more people began to try it, more and more people began to believe in it, and it even spread to neighboring cities and to more places.

In some cities, some people succeeded in the experiment, while others did not.

This puzzles many people.

Among them, some people noticed something unusual.

That means the spread of the video was not restricted.

It seems someone is condoning this.

It's like... the Yaksha Society!

Immediately, some people with ulterior motives secretly established a group similar to the Yaksha Society, but to their surprise, they were arrested as soon as it was established.

After several attempts, no one tried it anymore.

At least, no one dared to try it openly anymore. A month passed by unnoticed.

As time went on, more and more people learned about this, and more and more people began to use this rule to solve the problems they encountered.

Gradually, the people managing the task scheduling system at the Bureau of Investigation discovered that, over the past month, the number of low-priority tasks that should have been piling up was increasing more and more slowly, to the point that the total number of tasks in the Bureau had begun to show a negative growth trend.

These data and information were all reported to the General Administration.

Feng Jin took this data to the Great Xia Ancestral Land again, but it was not taken seriously. However, the remaining fifty-four branches were not allowed to continue building Ghost Gates.

This puzzled Feng Jin.

What Feng Jin didn't know was that the Xia family wanted to use this incident to negotiate with the Underworld again and gain more benefits.

To the Xia family's utter surprise, when they contacted the Underworld again, the Underworld refused to meet with them.

The Yama, the King of Hell, left them with only one sentence: "Your conditions are useless to the Underworld."

Just two months ago, the underworld needed the Xia family to locate those entrances for them. Why don't they need it anymore just two months later?

enough?

Xia Wuyou thought it was impossible, because the Xia family still felt that there were too few entrances. The only possibility was that the underworld had other alternative solutions.

what is it then?

Where did the underworld get this information from?

Xia Wuyou couldn't understand it.

He also wondered if it was related to the operations of the underworld in the netherworld and the mortal world.

However, those actions had absolutely nothing to do with the Divine Realm. No matter how you looked at it, the Underworld's actions were simply an attempt to expand its influence in the mortal world, which was foolish for the Xia family.

How can the mortal world or the underworld compare to the divine realm or the divine kingdom!
Finally, Xia Wuyou made a decision: leave it to the wind!

The remaining fifty-four cities are not allowed to build ghost gates until the underworld is willing to talk to them.

……

Chen Xin, of course, had no idea what decision Xia Wuyou had made.

For Chen Xin, the Xia family was on the wrong path.

Even if the Xia family acquires a lot of silver, even if the Xia family controls a town, as long as they cannot go out at night, as long as they cannot follow ghosts to the Yin De Tree, as long as they are not 'ghosts'.

Everything they did was based on an illusion.

Therefore, Chen Xin has no intention of paying any attention to the Xia family now.

Whether or not the Xia family allows the remaining fifty-four cities to establish Ghost Gates has no impact on Chen Xin.

No matter how many ghosts there are in the mortal world, can they be as many as those in the underworld?
When the Ghost Gate appeared, Chen Xin not only increased the number of Yakshas, ​​but also issued a mission to establish Ghost Gates in the Yin-Yang region.

Even half a month ago, the Underworld had already begun its second large-scale recruitment of underworld officials.

A week ago, Chen Xin's accumulated merit exceeded... 100 million!
What can you do with 100 million in good deeds?
It can mend all the Yin-Yang rifts within the Great Xia region, actively upgrade one hundred Yama-level Ghost Gates, and stack a Suppression Seal ten thousand times.

However, only 10,000 taels of silver can be brought into the Ghost Realm.

Chen Xin hadn't thought about this before, but after bringing in 10,000 taels of silver this time, he realized that if the assets of those wealthy families in the town were converted into merit, they would have exceeded 100 million!

This made Chen Xin feel like a poor person who had suddenly become rich and hadn't even had a chance to show off before discovering that everyone around him was rich.

This disparity made Chen Xin somewhat unhappy, so he had Huang Ying lead the Ghost Gate, a reincarnation-level expert, to sweep through hundreds of Yin and Yang regions.

Now, he has become the 'ghost' with the most assets in Qingshan Town and who has harvested the most Yin Virtue Tree Leaves in the first tier.

And this is not the end.

As time goes by, his good deeds will increase, and his assets will become more and more abundant.

But Chen Xin will no longer invest in the Ghost Realm.

Because the time for me to transform into a human seems to be approaching very soon.

This surprised Chen Xin.

It seems that the speed at which the illusion transforms into a human is much faster than that of the other top-tier 'people'.

Chen Xin was unable to find the reason for this.

But this is good, as it allows Chen Xin to make further attempts.

And just like that, another month passed!

Chen Xin hadn't expected the final step to be so slow, so slow that he was almost tempted to invest the five hundred million merits he had accumulated.

Fortunately, he held back. After all, no one knows what the situation will be like over there. Who knows, he might need even more good karma.
……

That evening, Chen Xin walked out of the small courtyard as usual.

However, this time, the illusionary form did not change at all before and after leaving the house.

When he went outside, he saw the 'people' who had been standing quietly on both sides of the street, waiting.

Countless eyes followed Chen Xin's movements. When Chen Xin walked out of the town, the first group of dozens of 'people' were about ten meters behind him.

No, tonight, they should be in the second tier.

This was also the first time Chen Xin had not seen a single 'person' in front of him.

Chen Xin's pace was not fast, but for some reason, when he arrived in front of the Yin De Tree, he felt that time had passed rather quickly, so quickly that he hadn't enjoyed much of the attention before he arrived.

Shaking his head, Chen Xin looked at the Yin Virtue Tree in front of him, which was destined to change color only for him tonight.

Before long, the withered Yin De tree began to grow golden leaves again, and when the tree was full of golden leaves, the leaves began to fall off.

Golden leaves of the Yin De tree formed a golden tornado above the Yin De tree.

Then, Chen Xin saw the hole gradually getting bigger, saw the scene changing over there, and saw the town frozen in time.

Just then, a voice rang in the illusion's ear.

"Upon accumulating perfect virtue, one can ascend to the underworld and be reborn as a human!"

Chen Xin still couldn't figure out where the voice came from.

But at this moment, the illusory body began to fly upwards, and Chen Xin's mind also focused.

As he watched the cave draw closer and the scene inside become clearer, Chen Xin's heart began to race.

Unable to resist, he had his avatar turn around and glance down.

Looking at the 'people' who were looking up at him, Chen Xin finally understood the joy of 'ascension'.

Turning back, looking at the huge hole so close at hand, the phantom body put its hands behind its back, tilted its head back, and flew over.

But something unexpected happened to Chen Xin.

A large hole blocked the illusion!
There seemed to be a transparent membrane blocking the illusion between the phantom and the large hole.

Before the phantom could reach out to pat the transparent membrane, an angry shout rang in his ears.

"If you are the domain lord, why have you come to my domain!"

That roar was the same sound that had been ringing in my ears all along.

Before Chen Xin could find the voice, he had already appeared in a void.

It wasn't just an illusion, but also Chen Xin's true form.

Just as Chen Xin was filled with shock, the "Complete Book of Town-Suppressing Objects" emerged from his body.

The sound of pages turning filled the air as information streamed into Chen Xin's mind.
