Chapter 370 The Fate-Bearing Official
The Xuan Snake and the Spirit Turtle are now merely in the form of spirits, while their true forms have been sealed in this small world by the True Martial Emperor and the power of the origin of reincarnation.
However, this minor world is no longer the reincarnation world left behind by the True Martial Emperor. Someone unknown has merged the two minor worlds into one. As for whether any other manipulations were made, no one can say for sure.
Therefore, not only Lin Fei, but also Xuan She and Ling Gui hoped to find the power of reincarnation as soon as possible, lest things get complicated and unexpected situations arise.
……
Following the guidance of the black snake and the spirit turtle, Lin Fei headed west. In this small world, there seemed to be no other living beings; Lin Fei sensed no signs of life along the way.
The further west Lin Fei went, the higher the temperature became, until rolling lava appeared beneath his feet, and even the ground turned into a patch of bright red lava.
"Ahead should be where our main body is." The voice of the Xuan Snake Spirit suddenly appeared in Lin Fei's mind: "You little brat, it seems there are other people's auras."
Lin Fei walked a little further, and the lava beneath his feet even began to boil. At such a temperature, even someone with Lin Fei's cultivation level was drenched in sweat. If someone's cultivation level were slightly lower, they would probably die instantly from this scorching heat.
Suddenly, two red lights flashed before his eyes, and two figures appeared directly in front of Lin Fei, blocking his path.
The two people who suddenly appeared should be the same auras that the spirit of the black serpent had sensed earlier.
Lin Fei dared not be negligent in the slightest and made preparations in case the two suddenly attacked and injured someone.
The two men looked Lin Fei up and down, and one of them suddenly asked, "You were able to enter this place, could you be the successor chosen by the True Martial Emperor?"
Since these two people knew of the existence of the True Martial Emperor, they were likely beings left behind in this minor world by the True Martial Emperor.
Within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, each minor world has its own ruler. For example, the Sun God of the Animal Realm and the Day Wanderer of the Asura Realm were sealed within their respective reincarnation worlds by the True Martial Emperor, along with the power of the origin of reincarnation. Of course, those like the Day Wanderer who couldn't defeat the natives of their realm and ultimately became slaves were purely accidental.
The two people before us are very likely rulers of a realm. More likely, they are also among the Six Gods of Houtu, like the Sun God and the Roaming God.
"May I ask who you two are?" Lin Fei asked.
“The God of Fate!” the man on the left said.
"Shangguan!" the man on the right said coldly as well.
Just as Lin Fei had guessed, these two people were one of the six gods of Houtu!
The six gods of Houtu are the six ancient deities: Mao Ri, Zhi Yue, Si Ming, Ri You, Ye You, and Shang Guan.
The Star Lord of Destiny is a deity who oversees the changes in merits and demerits of all beings in the six realms of reincarnation, and their reincarnation. Whether a virtuous being commits evil and is banished to an evil realm, or an evil being transcends and ascends to a virtuous realm, all must be approved by this ancient deity.
Shangguan Shen is even more extraordinary, known as the strongest of the six Houtu gods, commanding all of them and possessing the highest combat power among them.
These six gods of Houtu, though all ancient deities, possess varying levels of combat prowess. Some, like the Day Wanderer God, are even unable to defeat powerful beings at the third level of the Dharma Aspect Realm. Others, like the Shangguan God, dare to challenge even Earth Immortals.
The six goddesses Houtu, sealed in the cycle of reincarnation, have had their cultivation levels somewhat limited compared to their peak. Lin Fei also didn't know how much cultivation the Star Lord of Destiny and the God of Shangguan still possessed.
Since the other party is one of the six gods of Houtu, presumably the Sun Wanderer and the Rabbit Sun Star Lord, who are also among the six gods of Houtu, can communicate with them better.
With a wave of his hand, Lin Fei summoned the Sun God and the Roaming God.
"This humble one greets Your Excellency!" As soon as the Day Wanderer appeared, he smiled obsequiously at Lin Fei. He knew his place very well, knowing that he had to curry favor with Lin Fei, and he was always exceptionally respectful.
"My lord." The Sun God also cupped his hands in greeting to Lin Fei, maintaining some of the composure of an ancient deity, unlike the fawning Sun God.
“Mao Ri, Ri You, since you are here as well, it seems that this person must be a successor of Zhenwu without a doubt.” Shangguan Shen said when he saw Mao Ri Xingjun and Ri You Shen appear.
"Shangguan, Siming?" The Day Wanderer's face lit up with surprise: "You two are alright, that's wonderful! Indeed, this lord is the successor of the True Martial Emperor. You will entrust the power of the Samsara Origin to him and pledge your loyalty to him. From now on, you will no longer be bound by this Samsara World!"
As expected of the most perceptive of the six gods of Houtu, the Day Wanderer knew why Lin Fei had summoned them without Lin Fei even having to speak, and took the initiative to act as Lin Fei's persuader.
The six goddesses of Houtu were sealed into this world of reincarnation by the True Martial Emperor, along with the power of the origin of reincarnation. In fact, this was also a kind of constraint for them. Not only was their cultivation suppressed, but because the world of reincarnation itself was restricted, it was impossible for them to freely enter and leave this world of reincarnation.
In a sense, the six gods of Houtu are like prisoners in this cycle of reincarnation.
If they were to hand over the power of reincarnation to Lin Fei, although they would still be bound, at least they would only obey Lin Fei. If they served Lin Fei well and wanted to leave this world of reincarnation for some fresh air, Lin Fei would not refuse them without feeling any compassion.
This is entirely beneficial to Houtu and the other six gods.
Not only did the Day Wanderer speak up to persuade them, but even the Rabbit Sun Star Lord said from the side, "The Lord is magnanimous and will not force you to do things you do not want to do. You can rest assured to hand over the power of the origin of reincarnation."
Originally, it was thought that with the intervention of Mao Ri Xingjun and Ri You Shen, both among the six gods of Houtu, things would go smoothly. However, after listening to their words, Siming Xingjun sneered, "Ri You, Mao Ri, I didn't expect you to have fallen so low as to be dogs for others? Do these ancient gods still have any dignity?"
Unexpectedly, his old acquaintance was so disrespectful. The Day Wanderer was also quite embarrassed and said with an awkward smile, "Why do you have to be so rude, Siming? The ancient times have passed for countless millennia. We still need to find another way out."
Hearing the fiery tone in the words of the Star Lord of Destiny, Lin Fei knew that obtaining the power of the origin of reincarnation would probably not be so simple.
