Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 519-529: Heading to the Capital

For people or spirits who cross over from the mortal world, the authorities will compile statistics and rank them using archival methods.

In the information archives, the corresponding realms for humans are Opening the Mansion - Inviting the Gods - Human Immortal, the corresponding realms for ghosts and demons are Fierce Ghosts - Wraiths - Yin Gods, and the corresponding realms for spirits and monsters are Refining Spirits - Forming the Core - Demon Gods.

Those spirits, monsters, and ghosts that reach the level of Yin gods and demon gods are also unified with folk deities and are called common gods.

Once they reach the level of human immortals and mortal gods, the authorities will treat them with great care. Each mortal god and human immortal has a corresponding exclusive file, which is uploaded to the official confidential website and can be viewed with authorization.

The Thunder-Pushing Priest, in official records, is called 'Secular Devout Star Lord and Fate-Pushing Thunder-Pushing Priest'.

This corresponds to the official positions Ah Xiang held in various dynasties.

The twelve government offices of successive dynasties.

Tianfu Palace, Guantian Division, Disha Division, Lingtai Bureau, Zhengshan Guard...

Within these twelve government offices, there is usually an official in charge of the entire office, whose position is comparable to that of the national advisor, and is a vital instrument of the state in every dynasty.

Among them, Ah Xiang is the Thunder-Pushing Priest of Tianfu Palace. She wanted to clear the dragon vein with the Nine Heavens Xuanhuang Pagoda, but instead caused the earth energy of Luozhou to collapse. The one who caused this was Ge Hong, the Earthly Master of the Earthly Fiends Department and the Mountain-Moving Master.

Only immortal beings can become the head of a department.

At this moment, the caller turned out to be the Thunder Priest, which startled all the official members present.

Yangcheng is a second-tier city in Xuan Kingdom and an important transportation hub second only to Hucheng, so the garrison forces stationed in Yangcheng are not weak.

If it weren't for the urgent situation regarding the 'gate' incident, which led to the transfer of the immortals responsible for Yangcheng and two other second-tier cities, the people of Yangcheng wouldn't be in this predicament, helpless and unable to come up with any solutions.

“The priestess told us not to worry, that the residents near the Yintai Building would be safe, and that Minister Yang was dead.”

The combat captain repeated what Ah Xiang had said on the phone, but in fact, he didn't need to say it; everyone around him had already heard it.

Typically, a city's secular bureau has one minister and two directors, whose powers are equivalent to those of a city's city officials and mayor, respectively.

At that moment, the person on the other end of the phone bluntly stated that their Minister of the Secular Affairs Bureau had died, which made many people present feel somewhat disoriented.

"What should we do now? Should we really listen to her?" someone asked blankly.

"What did the bureau chief say?"

"The bureau chief is currently discussing with the leaders of Yangcheng how to handle this incident. I just reported the situation to him, but I haven't received a reply from the bureau chief yet," said the secretary next to the operations team leader.

"At this terrifying temperature, there's no point in going in now. All the damned people are already dead. Let's just stay where we are and wait."

The operations team leader made a decision on the spot.

He appeared to be a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, with a full beard and dressed in special forces uniform, but carrying a broadsword on his back.

This has almost become the standard attire for most secular young masters: wearing modern clothes but carrying or holding ancient weapons from the secular world.

"boom!!"

Just then, another deafening roar came from above the Yintai Building.

Even though they were several kilometers away, they could still hear the violent explosions caused by the collision of stars and fire feathers.

Countless divine flames illuminated the sky. At this moment, the fire phoenix opened its vermilion eyes, and its wings spread out like fiery clouds hanging in the sky, giving people a feeling that was both beautiful and terrifying.

"This spectacle is probably incomparable to any battle between humans and immortals!"

"The battles between the immortals of the Xuan Kingdom and the mortal gods that we saw on the official website before are far inferior to what we are seeing now."

"The aftershocks of the battle radiated for nearly ten kilometers, which is almost comparable to that of a miniature nuclear bomb."

"Is this really something a human could do?"

Amidst the anxious wait, discussions arose among the crowd.

They watched as the fiery phoenix in the sky actively pounced on the stars, its terrifying power almost shattering the entire sky.

It's hard to imagine what those people who are still around the Yintai Building will become.

Just then, the director of the Bureau of Secular Affairs called, ordering the combat personnel to retreat immediately, as the situation was completely beyond their control.

Upon hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, faced with a battle of this magnitude, they really didn't have the courage to get involved.

In the face of such a scene, comparable to a nuclear explosion, ordinary people appear as insignificant as ants, with no difference whatsoever.

Through the bureau chief's phone call, they also learned who might be the ones fighting in the skies above the Yintai Building.

One side is most likely the Lord of the Northern Underworld, while the other side is very likely the mysterious mortal god organization that the entire Xuan Kingdom has been searching for.

"But what is the connection between the two?"

Thus, for the first time ever, the members of the Secular Bureau stood on the high-rise building and quietly watched the fierce battle unfolding in the sky from the perspective of an outsider.

The reason was actually because they weren't qualified to interfere.

Meanwhile, the battle between Lin Beixuan and Kui Xingshen was gradually coming to an end.

Lin Beixuan was still in the Human Immortal Realm. Although he could cross a major realm and fight against a Great Mortal God, it was not impossible for him to kill the opponent directly. However, the price he would have to pay was too high, so it was unnecessary.

At this moment, the wings of the divine fire phoenix formed by ten thousand crows behind Lin Beixuan spread out, covering the sky and almost enveloping the entire Yangcheng.

He held the Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Pagoda in his right palm, unleashing a massive amount of Profound Yellow Power to suppress the Six Ding Divine Fire of the Kui Star God. Meanwhile, he expanded the Nine Netherworld Domain to its limit to resist the ever-encroaching power of the Kui Star God.

Finally, Kui Xingshen's divine power was severed, and his entire being became extremely gloomy. He voluntarily stopped what he was doing.

Because Kui Xing Shen himself knew that if the fight continued like this, it would truly become a fight to the death.

Whether it results in mutual destruction or a Pyrrhic victory for one side, it will not be a good thing for either.

Especially since it's all for Yang Baichuan, it's not worth it.

"That's enough!" Kui Xingshen coldly looked at Lin Beixuan: "If you came here only to kill Yang Baichuan and not to make an enemy of Yaotian, then I can give you face."

As he spoke, Kui Xing Shen glanced at the dozens of helicopters and the missile vehicles deployed by the authorities a few kilometers away.

Their battle has been completely exposed to the authorities, and the longer it goes on, the more disadvantageous it will be for the Yaotian Organization.

After all, they are related to Emperor Lixi Yang Guang's plans and schemes in the present world.

Lin Beixuan didn't speak, but calmly glanced around.

In fact, his only goal was to kill Yang Baichuan; this was his inner conflict.

Now that Yang Baichuan is dead and his soul has been captured, he has achieved the result he wanted. As for what Yaotian and Emperor Lixi are plotting, he has no interest in them at all.

Before leaving, Lin Beixuan had a question, and asked casually, "As one of the twenty-eight constellations' mortal gods, do you know anything about what's behind the door? What kind of place is that?"

Upon hearing this, Kui Xingshen's expression changed slightly: "I don't know anything about what's behind the door, but I suggest you don't try to find out, because the more you know, the more it will entangle you."

"Eleven of the twenty-eight constellation gods disappeared because of the gate, and I was almost involved in it myself."

"You have inherited the mantle of the Lord of the Underworld. Just rebuild your Underworld in the mortal world. I advise you not to follow his old path."

Despite having just fought a fierce battle with Lin Beixuan, Kui Xingshen couldn't help but remind Lin Beixuan of the matter of the gate. After speaking, Kui Xingshen turned around and prepared to leave with the mortal gods of Yaotian.

Upon seeing this, the God of Death immediately released the other mortal gods from their bonds.

After the mortal gods of Yao were released, they immediately glared at the god of death.

However, the God of Destruction was extremely fast, appearing behind Lin Beixuan almost the next second.

Lin Beixuan merely glanced at the God of Death, but did not stop him.

Kui Xing Shen ordered the mortal gods who were about to give chase to stop, and finally his gaze swept deeply over Lin Beixuan's face.

A divine fire wolf head radiating intense heat appeared in the void, swallowed the mortal god of Yaotian in one gulp, and finally dissipated into the air.

"I didn't expect it to end so quickly!" The God of Death couldn't help but sigh behind Lin Beixuan.

"What? You want us to both suffer heavy losses so you can be the one who reaps the benefits?" Lin Beixuan turned around and said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the God of Death was greatly alarmed and immediately bowed his head, saying, "This humble god dares not, it is merely a spontaneous statement."

Lin Beixuan didn't say anything more, walked past the God of Death, and focused his inspiration to the maximum.

Just now, he and Kui Xing Shen were actually intentionally controlling their power to prevent those around them from being affected.

Even so, the aftermath of this battle was still unbearable for ordinary people.

The terrifying heat was so intense that even a mortal prince who had established his own household could not keep it out, let alone an ordinary person who had no magical abilities whatsoever.

The streets were littered with broken glass and billowing dust, but strangely, those hiding inside were unharmed.

Lin Beixuan knew what was going on with just a glance.

He raised an eyebrow and disappeared from the spot. Seeing this, the God of Death immediately followed, his gray-white figure wearing a bamboo hat wandering behind Lin Beixuan like a ghost.

"What are you doing following me?" Lin Beixuan asked.

The God of Death chuckled, "I can no longer return to Yaotian, so I intend to follow Lord Fu."

"Follow me?" Lin Beixuan was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. "I almost killed you last time, and even so, you still intend to follow me?"

The God of Death immediately declared righteously, "The mistake last time was my fault, and the Lord's reprimand is justified."

Lin Beixuan thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I won't tolerate what you've done here. The reason I allowed you to stand beside me is because you helped me just now."

"otherwise……"

As he spoke, Lin Beixuan gave the God of Death a meaningful look: "You will end up like that evil, fallen Buddha, with my temple destroyed and your soul imprisoned in the underworld."

Upon hearing this, the God of Death was startled, but as soon as he thought about how chaos would ensue in both the mortal and secular worlds, and how he might not be able to survive the calamity on his own, he knew he had to choose a reliable person to rely on. So he immediately made his promise.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, from now on I will give up that income from incense offerings and devote myself to serving Your Majesty. I am willing to do anything."

Upon hearing this, Lin Beixuan pondered for a moment.

"What if I let you return to the secular world?"

Without hesitation, the god of death replied, "Of course I'm willing."

Lin Beixuan nodded: "Alright, my underworld is short of a ferryman, and you are quite suitable for this position. After I take you back to the mortal world, you can go to the underworld to report for duty."

Upon hearing this, the God of Death was taken aback, feeling that everything was inexplicably familiar.

It seems that he became a minor official in the underworld by some coincidence, but unexpectedly, he became a person in the underworld again after this.

"What? You don't want to?" Lin Beixuan frowned slightly when he saw the dejected look on his face.

"Of course I'm willing, but I was thinking about some things from before, so I got a little distracted."

The God of Death took out a bone flute from his bosom and handed it to Lin Beixuan.

"Please accept this as a token of my trust, Your Excellency. When you wish to return to the mortal world, simply tap the bone flute gently."

Normally, this bone flute only appears when the God of Death is played. After the God of Death became a mortal god, only three bone flutes were given away in total.

One was in the hands of his most faithful believer in the secular world, another was in the hands of the temple keeper of his first temple, and the last one is the one in front of him.

However, he dared not let Lin Beixuan play his flute, so he only needed Lin Beixuan to tap it lightly.

Lin Beixuan looked at the bone flute in his hand, which was neither gold nor jade, and put it away.

He now possesses many relics of mortal gods, so he has set aside a section in his storage bag to store these items.

"Understood." Lin Beixuan nodded.

Seeing this, the God of Death dared not disturb Lin Beixuan any further. After informing him that he was going to disperse the believers in the mortal world, his body turned into a cloud of gray mist and disappeared among the high-rise buildings.

"call--"

Seeing the spirit of death depart, Lin Beixuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to a corner not far away.

"Thank you for your help, otherwise I'm afraid I would have gotten myself into quite a bit of trouble."

"You're welcome."

Ah Xiang slowly emerged from the corner, still dressed in her modern and sophisticated attire, seemingly having fully adapted to modern life.

However, her face looked rather pale, as if she had suffered a considerable injury.

Lin Beixuan had already noticed this during their last exchange.

Those people around the Yintai Building were rescued by Ah Xiang.

Lin Beixuan and Kui Xingshen did not want the aftershocks of the battle to affect ordinary people, so only some aftershocks spread out. With Ah Xiang's abilities, she could still protect some ordinary people.

"You've already killed Yang Baichuan. What do you plan to do next? Return to the mortal world?"

Ah Xiang said wearily, "If you're going back, would you mind taking me with you?"

"You plan to return to the secular world?" Lin Beixuan's eyes flickered slightly.

"Now that I've finished investigating things in the real world, it's time to go back. Although this place is nice, it's not my home after all."

"Are you planning to go back and ask that emperor?"

Ah Xiang chuckled softly, without giving a direct answer.

Lin Beixuan didn't pay much attention to this. His way of getting along with Ah Xiang seemed to be just like this, and they understood each other without saying a word.

"Okay, but you'll have to wait. I should be going to the capital soon."

"Going to the capital?" Ah Xiang immediately realized why Lin Beixuan went to the capital.

She stared at Lin Beixuan and said in a heavy tone, "You really should learn more about those doors."
