Douluo: I am the outer demon

"Lin'er."

Looking at the silent girl in front of him with a little trepidation, Shang An called out softly.

"…Asshole daddy!"

a long time,

Ji Lin cursed out a harmless word, then pounced on Shang An with red eyes.

The small fist hit Shang An's chest.

But he was afraid of hurting Shang An, so he didn't dare to use any strength at all.

"Daddy, you bastard! You are not allowed to leave me again, understand?"

There was a tone of crying in Ji Lin's voice, as well as a hint of pleading and fear.

She still feels a little unreal.

"Yeah." Shang An nodded silently.

"Don't lie to me again."

"Yeah." Shang An nodded again. The thing he just cheated shouldn't be counted in here.

Thinking of the terrifying enemy he had fabricated in order to give Ji Lin the motivation to make progress - the Taoist Taichu of the Sith Universe, Shang An nodded firmly in his heart.

How can this be considered a lie? Is it a lie for an old father to deceive his daughter?
This was clearly a white lie told to inspire my daughter's fighting spirit!

Shang An never lies to anyone, he just always has more kindness in mind.

"Lin'er, don't feel any pressure. Even though your father is no match for that Taoist Priest Taichu, it's not that easy for him to kill me!"

Shang An looked at Ji Lin lovingly and said.

"No! Daddy, I will never let anything happen to you!"

Ji Lin's gaze was particularly firm.

She had experienced the feeling of her father leaving her, and she didn't want to experience it again.

To protect Daddy,

So what even if it’s the Taoist Taichu?

Isn't it just about becoming the controller of the universe?

She can do it too!
Seeing this scene, Shang An was greatly relieved.

What's this called?
This is what we call human hearts being useful!
……

Back to Journey to the West,
Here, the time traveler Li Shimin began his action.

First, he advocated the equality of immortals and mortals, and that all practitioners and immortals and gods were not allowed to have any privileges in the Tang Dynasty. They had to abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty and had to register when entering the country. Then, regardless of dissuasion, he issued an imperial decree that all practitioners, immortals and Buddhas were not allowed to perform magic without a license.

He then established the Palace of Strange Men and the Office of Immortal Punishment, and recruited many alchemists and extraordinary people, intending to bring all the Buddhist and Taoist monks in the Tang Dynasty under his rule and set up the Tang Dynasty's Extraordinary Department to unify management.

However, there were few responses, but many people came to eat and drink for free.

Although the dragon energy of the dynasty is of certain benefit to practitioners who cultivate the way of luck, it will also involve the cause and effect of the dynasty, binding oneself to the dynasty. It is difficult to become an immortal under the cause and effect, so any ambitious practitioner will not choose to join the dynasty.

The time traveler Li Shimin was also admonished and even vaguely dissatisfied by many ministers. Wei Zheng even bluntly asked His Majesty why he was rebelling.

You must know that this is not the historical world. The gods and Buddhas in this world have boundless power. Although practitioners rarely interfere in mortal affairs in order to avoid cause and effect and in addition to the restrictions of heavenly rules, mortal affairs should be resolved by mortals themselves.

But no matter what, the Tang Dynasty was supported by the cultivation sects in the Central Plains, and many of the ancestors behind those sects were immortals and gods from heaven.

In order to end the troubled times, many practitioners from different sects gave up their hope of becoming immortals in this life, plunged into the quagmire of the world, and helped Li Tang to conquer the world.

Now Li Shimin wants to rule those sects that have left the secular world. Isn't this an ungrateful person trying to devour his master?

Moreover, what do you want to do by gathering all the practitioners in the world and managing them?
Are they planning to rebel against Heaven?

Even all the immortals and gods are included in it. Even the Jade Emperor doesn't dare to speak like this, so how dare you, Li Shimin!

Even the civil and military officials in the court were unwilling to watch Li Shimin destroy the Tang Dynasty in this way, and they even discussed privately about deposing Li Shimin. Even though Li Shimin had made great military achievements in the past, he was now touching a taboo that could not be touched at all.

Even if Li Shimin had not had considerable prestige before, another emperor would probably have unfortunately fallen into the water the next day after making this move.

As for all this, the time traveler Li Shimin is still unaware of it, and is still dreaming of unifying the three realms, stepping on Hongjun, and becoming the Emperor of Heaven.

"When the time comes, my left-hand queen mother..."

boom!
a bolt from the blue,

A bolt of lightning struck down, piercing through the entire Tang Dynasty Palace and striking Li Shimin directly. Then came the second, the third...

For a moment, Li Shimin's whole body twitched, his skin turned black, black smoke came out of his mouth, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

When he woke up again, the luxurious palace was gone.

There was a dark blue sun hanging in the sky, and he was already in the dark and deep underworld, with icy iron chains binding him tightly.

Two ghost officials with cold expressions escorted him on the left and right.

"I, what's wrong with me?"

Li Shimin was shocked.

Although there was a scene of entering the underworld in the memory of my previous life, the attitude was much better than this. Not to mention the chains, the ghost officials were all polite.

"Humph, Li Shimin, today is the day you die."

The ghost on the left looked at Li Shimin sinisterly and said.

"how come?!"

Li Shimin's body was shaking like a sieve. He was not a tough man, nor was he the real Li Shimin. He was just a self-important fan of the underworld. At this moment, in the dark environment of the underworld, he was panicked and at a loss for a moment.

In the original novel, Li Shimin was still alive when Tang Monk returned from his journey to the West. How could he have died of old age? This must be a mistake!
Snapped!
Seeing this, another ghost whipped him with a whip, and the pain that penetrated Li Shimin's soul made him scream.

"I am the emperor, you can't do this!"

he shouted.

Upon hearing this, the two ghost officials first looked at each other in surprise, and then burst into laughter at the same time, as if they had heard some huge joke.

When Li Shimin heard this laughter, his face turned red and he felt mixed with shame and anger.

"Human Emperor, are you worthy of being called the Human Emperor?"

The ghost on the right kicked Li Shimin in the back, knocking him to the ground.

"Except for the Three Ancient Emperors, who else dares to call himself the Emperor of Man?"

When talking about the three ancient emperors, the ghost showed respect on his face, but when he looked at Li Shimin, there was an undisguised sarcasm in his eyes.

The Three Ancient Sovereigns enlightened the human race, paved the way forward for humanity, spread the methods of cultivation, and led humanity out of the wilderness. They themselves possessed immense power, and even the Emperor of Fengdu had to show courtesy to such people.

Since ancient times, the human race has spread and its footprints have gradually spread across the four continents. Together with the human race in many cave worlds, the number is more than trillions. Although the Tang Dynasty is a big country, its population is only a few billion, which is just a drop in the bucket compared to the huge human race.

Li Shimin has made no contribution to the entire human race, so how dare he call himself the Emperor of Mankind?

"Hurry up and get up! If you dare to have any false thoughts about the Queen Mother, get ready to go to the eighteen levels of hell."

Another whip came over, making Li Shimin scream in pain. The most important part was the sentence about going to the eighteen levels of hell. Thinking of the description of the eighteen levels of hell in the legend, Li Shimin's pupils shrank. Is that a place where people can go?
No!

He wanted to save himself, and Li Shimin's mind started working faster than ever before.

"I want to see the Queen Mother Hou Tu, I want to see the Queen Mother Hou Tu!"

Probably the only one who can help him now is Hou Tu Niangniang. He knows the history of Journey to the West and can change the fate of the witch clan. Hou Tu will definitely protect him.

"You can't see the queen whenever you want, get up quickly."

As the supreme being of the underworld, Hou Tu Niangniang has to inform King Yama in advance if he wants to meet her, and whether he can meet her or not depends on her mood. What the hell is Li Shimin thinking about this?

The ghost was surprised and whipped him hard again, showing no mercy to the mortal emperor Li Shimin.

Although as an emperor, he would be protected by a dragon of luck, especially in a big country like the Tang Dynasty.

But since the moment Li Shimin insulted the Queen Mother, the fortune of the Tang Dynasty was cut in half by heaven, and there was not a single bit of luck left in Li Shimin. Now any little devil could bully him at will.

This was not the work of the Queen Mother. Such a sacred being would not care about such an ant. Li Shimin suffered because he spoke without restraint and had evil thoughts, which brought down the punishment from heaven.

Li Shimin was just the monarch of a country in the world. There were countless monarchs like him in the world. The so-called true dragon emperor was actually like a village chief in front of the heaven.

The Jade Emperor is the master of the Three Realms, also known as Haotian God. He commands all the heavens and is the ruler of all saints. He is the sky of this world and is in the first echelon of great gods along with Buddha and Taoism. His wife, Queen Mother, is the head of the female immortals and the mother of the Three Realms. She is also an existence who has attained the ultimate state of Hunyuan and can be called the Mother of Heaven.

How treasonous it is for a mortal emperor to dare to covet the Mother of Heaven.

Where is the way to survive?

"No, I want to see the Queen Mother Hou Tu."

"My Queen! I know the future. I can save the Wu Clan. The Wu Clan needs me. The Wu Clan needs me!"

How could Li Shimin dare to continue following the ghost?

The eighteen levels of hell are no joke.

He didn't care about the severe pain in his body and shouted loudly, trying to use the witch clan to attract the attention of the queen.

"Be bold!"

The two ghost officials' faces changed. If Li Shimin disturbed the Queen Mother Hou Tu, it would be a huge sin.

They no longer held back. One ghost covered Li Shimin's mouth, while the other hit him with the soul-beating whip with the force intended to kill him.

If they beat Li Shimin to death, at most they would be punished. But if they disturbed the empress, they would have more than ten lives to live, and even their superiors would be in trouble.

"Wu Clan, what is that?"

A woman in a plain white dress appeared in front of me at some point.

She exudes a gentle and kind aura, as if she is the earth that embraces all things and is kind and tolerant. She is one of the Four Imperial Gods, the Earth Mother Yuanjun, who follows the example of Hou Tuhuang Diji and is the third proven figure in heaven besides the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, and the de facto ruler of the underworld.

It is a coincidence that for a being like her, although there will be some response if one chants her name, there are so many people in the world who chant the name of God above and Earth below all day long that she usually ignores them.

But this time she discovered that an unusual tiger demon soul had not been led into the underworld. She was so quiet that she wanted to move. She had nothing to do, so she went to investigate. When she just returned to the underworld, she heard someone talking about her and saying some incomprehensible words. What is the witch clan and what does it have to do with her?

She calculated the three realms and could only conclude that the witch clan did not belong to the three realms, but seemed to be a race from outside the domain.

"I've met Queen Houtu!"

The moment they saw the woman in white, the two ghost officials trembled all over, immediately stopped what they were doing, knelt down in fear and trepidation, looking uneasy.

This was the first time they met the Supreme Goddess of the Underworld, Hou Tu.

There is no need to confirm his appearance. Unless he intends to conceal it, you can recognize his identity immediately when you see him.

"Niangniang Hou Tu, Niangniang Hou Tu, save me! I know the future. I can help you overthrow the Heavenly Court, overthrow the Heavenly Dao Hongjun, make the Earthly Dao and the Heavenly Dao equally respected, and revive the Wu Clan!"

Li Shimin crawled away from the two ghost officials and blurted out everything he could.

He almost felt like he was about to be beaten to death.

Queen Hou Tu frowned slightly. This person was talking about something very new.

What is the underground way? It is as important as the heavenly way.

Moreover, isn’t Haotian the Heavenly Dao of this era? Who is Hongjun, a false god?

As for overthrowing the way of heaven?

As one of the highest officials in heaven, why would she overthrow herself?

What is this all about?
"Could it be that Li Shimin has become abnormal like the tiger?"

Hou Tu thought to herself that there was a memory in the soul of the tiger demon that had not yet transformed that was blocked by a mysterious and powerful force, so she could not explore it. But that memory definitely did not belong to the tiger demon and carried an aura from outside the domain.

Could it be that Li Shimin...

Hou Tu pointed a finger lightly at Li Shimin, and Li Shimin's soul was finely split into two pieces in an instant without him even uttering a scream.

He still didn't understand why Hou Tu would be like this even though he clearly mentioned the Wu clan. Didn't the ancient novels say that Hou Tu cared about the Wu clan and was a kind person?
Hou Tu casually flipped through Li Shimin's memories.

Unexpectedly, this time the memory was not blocked at all and appeared clearly in front of Hou Tu's eyes. She even sensed a world different from the Three Realms through Li Shimin's soul.

"Earth... Honghuang, haha, interesting, Haotian actually became the boy of Hongjun, really interesting!"

"Is it really outside the domain? Is there really someone with the same name as me? I really want to meet him."

"As you wish!" A low and gentle voice sounded abruptly.

"who!"

Hou Tu was suddenly shocked. Who could actually avoid her perception in the underworld?

Suddenly, a large white hand stretched out from Li Shimin's soul, which had been split apart. With a trace of the most divine and holy aura, it grasped the void, grabbed Hou Tu and escaped into a passage.

The only ones left were two ghost officials with blank minds and Li Shimin's soul, which was completely gone.

"What are we going to do?"

"It seems like he is preparing to kill Li Shimin."

……

"you!"

Hou Tu looked at the figure in front of her with some shock. In her feeling, the aura of this person was even more vast than that of Tianzun.

This is a supreme being who has already stepped into the realm that one has always dreamed of.

"Do you want to become a Taoist? Or in your words, attain enlightenment."

Shang An felt quite strange looking at the Houtu in front of him, who had a similar temperament to the Houtu of the ancient times but a different appearance.

"think."

After a little thought, Hou Tu responded honestly, with no intention of resisting.

She had witnessed the might of Tianzun, a force that she could never match, and she didn't think she had the strength to resist.

"Okay, since there is no reincarnation in this world yet, I'll leave it to you!"

Shang An patted Hou Tu on the shoulder, as if he was entrusting her with an important task. (End of this chapter)
