Reborn right after ascending to immortality?

Chapter 7 The Origin of 'Ox-Head and Horse-Face'
I have no idea what this guy is thinking.
But An Sheng was convinced that she was a normal person.

In terms of mental state, worldview, and sense of right and wrong, he was on the same level as ordinary men.

But that's not necessarily a bad thing; it's quite fun to scare the jailer.

"I really feel like I'm in good mental condition. I get up on time every day, exercise regularly, and drink a glass of warm milk before going to sleep. My other personalities also say: I'm a normal person."

The jailer instantly became even more resentful, his already pale face looking as if it had been covered with a layer of frost.

"By the way, according to the traditions of the old days, weren't the jailers in Fengdu always a pair of ox-headed and horse-faced men? One ox-headed, one horse-faced."

"Why is it that you're the only one with a bull's head and a horse's face? Do you have a split personality too?"

An Sheng looked at the four large characters 'Ox-Head and Horse-Face' on the jailer's uniform and said, "You don't look like a demon beast, but a human."

“In recent years, Kunlun’s functional departments have been streamlining civil servants and reducing expenditures, so the two positions of ‘Ox Head’ and ‘Horse Face’ have been streamlined into one position, ‘Ox Head and Horse Face,’ which is equivalent to two positions and pays one salary.”

The jailer's face darkened further when the matter was mentioned.

"Then Fengdu received a report from the 'Demon Beast Protection Association,' saying that they should cherish demon beasts and refuse to harm them, and that they should not let bull demons and horse demons become real cattle and horses, so they could only use humans."

"Moreover, I have a long face, so I am called Horse Face."

Ox-Head and Horse-Face stared at An Sheng expressionlessly. "I accidentally slept with my boss's wife before, so I'm Ox-Head again. Because of this trivial matter, I was demoted to Fengdu and will be an Ox-Head and Horse-Face for a hundred years."

"It's the weekend now, and I still have to work overtime with you."

So that's what it is—a bull-headed and horse-faced demon.

An Sheng revealed an expression of realization. No wonder this person's mental state and complexion were more like a ghost than a ghost's. The murderous aura and resentment that filled the sky were astonishing. It turned out to be a corporate slave working overtime on the weekend.

In the underworld, it might be called 'ghostly beast'.

Bai Susu was still unable to call out, so An Sheng tried to visualize the Impermanence Contract in his mind's eye. The contract, soaked with the blood of immortals, appeared before An Sheng's eyes. Under the reflection of the immortals' blood, An Sheng suddenly discovered that a layer of crimson blood characters had also appeared above the heads of the Ox-Head and Horse-Face.

Ox-Head and Horse-Face

[The Cause of Sin: Two Hundred Years]

Can one still see the sins committed by others through the impermanence of the law?

An Sheng discovered a new function of the Impermanence Pact.

He saw two thin black lines emanating from the top of the ox-headed and horse-faced heads, extending outwards to the left and right. An Sheng realized that this was the cause and effect of the sins that had befell the ox-headed and horse-faced people, and the original sin that led them to this state.

But An Sheng sensed something was wrong. According to Ox-Head and Horse-Face, he had made a mistake and was sentenced to a hundred years. So why did the sin on the Impermanence Law Contract say 'two hundred years'?

An Sheng immediately understood that Ox-Head and Horse-Face had two hundred years of sins, but only one hundred years of sins had been discovered and punished. The two black lines on the latter's head indicated that it had committed two wrongdoings.

An Sheng tried to touch the black line of sin on the left with his divine sense. When he did so, a line of small characters appeared on the Impermanence Contract.

[The crime of lewdness and insubordination: having an impure relationship with the aloof and ethereal wife of the Third Prison Warden]

[If one dedicates ten years to karmic retribution, touching the line of cause and effect, one can then examine the specific circumstances.]

Sure enough, this wrongdoing was exactly what Ox-Head and Horse-Face had just mentioned. Clearly, he had also concealed another crime he had committed.

By spending a certain amount of "criminal affinity," one can uncover the crimes committed by others. If used in criminal investigation, An Sheng believes she could become a famous detective.

He then used his divine sense to touch the black line on the right, and another passage of small characters appeared. An Sheng stared intently at it, his pupils trembling slightly:
[The sin of adultery and transgression against superiors: having an impure relationship with the mature fairy mother of the Third Prison Warden] [If one dedicates ten years of karmic debt, touching the line of cause and effect, one can view the specific details]

So you're defying your superiors? How come you've taken over all the starting points for leaders?

He slept with both the leader's wife and the xylophone.
It's pathetic to be the boss of someone else; you deserve to be reborn as a ghost in the underworld!
Wait a minute, An Sheng suddenly remembered something. Looking at the second line of the Impermanence Contract, it read, "Offer ten years of karmic debt to view the specific details."

His face darkened. So that meant he could pay to watch movies?
What are you looking at?

Ox-Head and Horse-Face felt that the gaze of the Impermanent Demon Prince was becoming increasingly strange. The latter had a pair of deep, dark eyes, as deep as a pool of water. Just being stared at by those eyes, Ox-Head and Horse-Face felt that they could see right through him.

It was as if the darkness hidden deep within one's heart, the secrets buried in the deepest recesses, were all laid bare under that gaze.

Those eyes can see right through people's hearts.

This is not an illusion, but a warning from one's own consciousness, an instinct developed over many years of cultivation.

At this moment, An Sheng exerted an even greater sense of pressure on Niu Tou and Ma Mian than on his superiors.

“I’m not watching. I don’t watch movies with bastards.” An Sheng shook his head, the oppressive feeling still terrifying. “I’m going for pure love stories. Bastards deserve to die.”

Why did he suddenly become so enraged that he wanted to kill someone?

Why did Bullhead have to die?!

Ox-Head and Horse-Face panicked immediately. They had long heard that the Unpredictable Demon Prince was capricious and would ask for his lover's amusement in the midst of laughter. Now, seeing this, the rumors were indeed true. Although his cultivation was higher than An Sheng's, the latter's relationship with him was deeper—and this demon was already sentenced to a thousand years, so one more ox-head wouldn't make a difference, nor would one less.

It was another set of words that left people only half-understanding.

Which of his personalities is this?
Ox-Head and Horse-Face dared not speak to An Sheng any further. He opened the cell door and carefully affixed the restraints to An Sheng's arm.

"Impermanence. Impermanence Demon Child, the time for the judgment in Fengdu has come. Now come with me—no, please come with me."

Facing the fearful gazes of the Ox-Head and Horse-Face demons, An Sheng stepped out of the cage. A torrential rain was falling outside the window. He walked towards Fengdu in good spirits, following the dim candlelight and the prohibition talismans covering the walls.

Through those attempts, An Sheng realized that what had just happened was not an illusion, because the Impermanence Contract still remained in his sea of ​​consciousness.

He confirmed that he was still living in reality. Whether he had lived two lives or was an immortal without end, these were not fantasies he had developed from staying in the Nine Netherworlds for too long.

The blood of the Impermanent Immortal emitted a bewitching yet eerie sweetness from the depths of An Sheng's soul, reminding him that his vow was not false.

Two years later, he will become a judge of the Impermanent Law, imprisoned at the bottom of the Nine Nether Valley, in the 'tenth level' which has no historical records, and enter the 'Ruins' that swallows all existence.

Even the legendary immortal Wuchang would be corrupted by it, gradually losing his memories.

As the guards slowly pushed open the gates of Fengdu Palace, the heavy, decaying bronze doors emitted a deep rumble, and the evening drums sounded behind them, signaling the start of the trial.

[The First Level of the Nine Netherworlds]

【Fengdu Realm】

With An Sheng's appearance, countless eyes fell from afar, those important figures some with goodwill, some with malice, and some simply watching coldly.

An Sheng stood before the giant gate, speaking to himself in his heart.

Having been reborn, neither wind and frost, nor hail, thunderstorms, tsunamis, nor gales of force 18 can stand in his way anymore.
