Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 284 World Fragment, Taking Control of Yinshan

"The Book of Life and Death is guarded by Di Ting."

"Place it in the rear hall of the Ksitigarbha Hall."

Jiang Jian recalled the location of the Book of Life and Death recorded in the original story.

In the blink of an eye, his body transformed into light and vanished, heading towards the Ksitigarbha Hall.

next moment.

In front of the Ksitigarbha Hall.

Jiang Jian revealed his form, raised his head, and looked at the bronze palace gate that was thousands of feet high.

Chains hung from the dome, their ends disappearing into the depths of the earth, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Jiang Jian withdrew his gaze, took out the Ksitigarbha Jade Seal, and directly opened the palace door!
Boom!

On either side of the giant gate stood the Yinshan guards, each a hundred feet tall.

Upon seeing Jiang Jian, the guards all restrained their imposing manner, bowed their heads respectfully, and their iron armor clashed like thunder as they all saluted, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Jian lightly flicked his sleeves and walked straight into the hall.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

"The Chakravartin."

A sound broke the silence and reached my ears.

Jiang's gaze sharpened slightly as she looked ahead.

What came into view was an ancient beast that was about ten feet tall.

It has the body of a dragon, the head of a tiger, the feet of a qilin, and the tail of a lion. It is tall and its body is covered with alternating light and dark patterns. It uses all four legs and emerges from the darkness.

Seeing the gloomy expression on Jiang's face, he said, "Listen carefully."

Di Ting slowly approached, his gaze deep and unfathomable, looking down at Jiang Jian, and spoke in human language: "Are you really King Yama?"

The words came out.

Jiang Jian's heart skipped a beat.

Di Ting is an ancient beast born from nature.

They were born with unfathomable supernatural powers, able to hear the heavens and earth and know the past and the future.

"I am naturally the Wheel-Turning King."

Jiang calmed himself down and spoke.

Di Ting narrowed his eyes, his gaze unreadable.

After a while.

It said again, "If you were truly the Wheel-Turning King, you wouldn't have taken the Book of Life and Death."

The words fell.

Di Ting turned to the side, its claws pointing into the depths of darkness.

A huge book appeared.

Its blazing light shone brightly, and its names were densely packed and countless.

Book of life and death.

It records the birth dates and lifespans of countless living beings in this world.

Jiang Jian glanced at the Book of Life and Death, took the Ksitigarbha Jade Seal in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to say?"

Di Ting is an ancient beast born of nature. After cultivating under the tutelage of the Bodhisattva for a long time, it has already attained the level of creation.

With the current level of cultivation, King Yama is no match for it.

"Don't be nervous."

Di Ting sighed, "I know a lot, but I can say very little."

Jiang frowned slightly and stared at it for a moment. The sense of separation deep in her heart suddenly became even stronger.

He was almost certain.

This ancient beast before us must be a real, existing being!
"Listen carefully."

Jiang Jian suddenly spoke up, "Is this world real?"

This statement came out.

The vast Ksitigarbha Hall suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

Di Ting first opened its eyes wide, its pupils contracted, and then returned to normal, looking at Jiang Jian with interest without saying a word.

Jiang Jian frowned slightly and asked again, "Are you real?"

this time.

Di Ting broke his silence and nodded, saying, "Of course I am real."

Jiang Jianxin trembled slightly.

That feeling of separation from before surged back again, almost to its extreme!

Reality and falsehood seem to be constantly shifting back and forth.

Seeing this, Jiang was momentarily lost in thought.

"You can call this the Fragment World."

Di Ting spoke again.

Jiang Jianxin was startled.

His thoughts and feelings have already caused a huge uproar.

A few moments.

Jiang Jian calmed himself down and asked, "What is a fragmented world? Is it a fragment of a world?"

Di Ting said, "The fragmented world can be understood as a replay of the past."

"Everything that has happened in the world, everything that once existed, leaves a trace."

"If there is an incredible power, the traces can be restored."

"This will create corresponding fragments of the world."

It looked at Jiang Jian with a half-smile and said, "After you leave, this fragment of the world will completely collapse."

Jiang Jian asked in a deep voice, "Could it be that everything here once existed in reality?"

After pondering for a moment, Di Ting shook his head and said, "The reality you live in and the world I live in may not be in the same space-time."

While talking.

Its body gradually became transparent.

"I have to go."

Listen carefully to the soft whisper.

The words fell.

This ancient beast, born of nature, completely vanished.

Jiang Jian stood quietly for a long time.

Listening to what Di just said had a slight impact on his original worldview.

When leaving the Dragon Palace of the Sea.

Jiang Jian once noticed this.

The consciousness of the Sea Dragon King was far too real.

Now that I am in the story world of the Ksitigarbha Sutra, this feeling is even clearer!
suddenly.

Jiang Jianxin was terrified, his hair stood on end, and his scalp tingled!

He caught a glimpse of a figure in the corner of the Ksitigarbha Hall out of the corner of his eye!
The man was dressed in a dark Buddhist robe and had a cold expression.

It was none other than Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!
Jiang Jian stood rooted to the spot, not daring to move an inch. A terrifying sense of separation swept over him, almost completely engulfing him!

"Evil beast."

A cold voice reached my ears.

The Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha extended his finger and made a grasping motion.

A mournful wail pierced the silence of the hall!

The beast, which was ten feet tall, was actually pulled out of the void by the hand of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!
Click!

With a slender finger, his body was sliced ​​into hundreds of pieces, blood and flesh splattering everywhere!
The enormous head of the beast rolled to Jiang Jian's feet, its copper bell-like eyes wide open, staring intently at him. Blood gushed from the severed neck.

Upon seeing this scene, Jiang Jian's mind went blank.

In a blink of an eye.

He forced himself to calm down, turned his head, and looked at the Bodhisattva Venerable One not far away.

"It's not a true listening device."

The Bodhisattva said softly, "It didn't leave just now, but hid in your soul, wanting to leave this place with you."

Hear this.

Jiang Jianqiang calmed himself down.

The experience I just had was completely beyond my comprehension.

After a while.

Jiang Jian regained his composure, his mind racing, and he vaguely made a guess. He asked in a low voice, "Does the Bodhisattva mean that it wants to go to the reality I am in?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded and said, "After you leave, this place will be completely destroyed, and it will naturally die as well."

"But it stayed here for too long, and over time, it began to believe that it was the real Di Ting, and even forgot that it was just an illusion."

"It doesn't want to die."

Its sound gradually faded away.

Darkness surged in and swallowed its form.

Quietly.

In the Ksitigarbha Hall, only Jiang Jian remained.

He remained silent for a moment, then stepped into the darkness, used the Earth Treasury Jade Seal to put away the Book of Life and Death.

Click!

A sudden, earth-shattering sound rang out.

Even though I was in the Ksitigarbha Hall.

Jiang Jian could still hear it clearly.

Within the Yinshan Mountains, the mournful cries of the Yakshas and the Impermanent Ones echoed.

And the eighteen levels of hell, with the howls of countless sinful ghosts.

With a loud crack, cracks appeared all over the sky, spreading rapidly like a spider web!
The ten palaces of Yinshan shook violently, and the magnificent buildings collapsed one after another!
Even the seemingly unbreakable eighteen levels of hell began to collapse in a terrifying way!

"Leave now."

Suddenly, the voice of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva came from the depths of my mind.

As Jiang Jian held the Ksitigarbha Jade Seal, streams of dark light emerged, firmly protecting it within.

"Venerable Bodhisattva, will we ever meet again?"

he asked suddenly.

no respond.

The world is shattering, and at an ever-accelerating pace.

Everything in all directions was devoured by nothingness!
The Ten Kings' Palace, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, Black and White Impermanence.

They all vanished silently into the depths of nothingness.

The surrounding area was empty, and it surged toward the Ksitigarbha Hall at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The white light emanating from the Ksitigarbha Jade Seal grew even more intense.

In the end, it became as bright as the sun!
Jiang Jian stayed inside, watching everything around him sink into nothingness one after another, and his gaze also became dull.

Just moments before the void swept in and completely swallowed everything outside the light shield.

Jiang Jian vaguely heard a sentence.

only.

Just then, a tremendous pulling force came.

His mind went blank for a moment without him noticing.

Suddenly a world away.

I do not know how long it has been.

The surrounding darkness gradually faded away.

Jiang Jian opened his eyes.

The magnificent hall before us is the Ksitigarbha Hall.

only.

This is the Ksitigarbha Hall in the Yinshan Wonderland.

The black and white vortex that had appeared earlier has completely dissipated.

The entire scene inside the hall is laid out before you.

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva".

Jiang Jian said in a low voice.

He walked into the hall and looked up at the black and gold statue.

He was dressed in a dark Buddhist robe, looking down at the ten palaces of Yinshan, without sorrow or joy.

A few moments.

Jiang Jian turned around and walked out of the Dizang Hall.

The guide's form twisted and appeared before them.

His expression was excited as he proclaimed loudly, "From this moment on, you are the master of the Yinshan Wonderland!"

It took out a token, held it respectfully with both hands, and declared, "Imperial decree bestowing upon me the title, Yinshan Dizang!"

Jiang remained expressionless, flicked his sleeve and pulled him aside, saying, "I don't want to use this title for the time being."

The guide was taken aback, then realized he might have flattered the wrong person, and quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "As the lord of Yinshan, it's not impossible to change your title."

"How is True Lord Yinshan?"

"Lord Yinshan is not bad either."

Hear this.

Jiang Jian said coldly, "You haven't even reached the required level of cultivation, yet you presumptuously call yourself a True Lord. Aren't you just asking to be ridiculed?"

The words fell.

Jiang Jian turned around and left the Dizang Hall.

behind him.

As the guide watched his retreating figure, his previously fawning expression suddenly darkened.

It stared coldly at Jiang Jian, its heart filled with doubt.

"Not long ago, that lord clearly appeared in my dream, saying that he would appear at this time, take control of the rules of the Yinshan Wonderland, and set me free."

"Why can't I sense anything even after sensing it for so long?"

It frowned, completely baffled.

Subsequently.

It then used the Yinshan rules it controlled to search around the Dizang Hall, but still found no clues.

"Since that person is unreliable."

"I have no choice but to use my own method."

The guide stopped what he was doing, gave a sinister smile, and quietly disappeared.

at the same time.

Deep in the Yinshan Mountains.

Jiang Jian, holding the Ksitigarbha Jade Seal, had already clearly seen the guide's actions.

"This fellow controls a small portion of the Yinshan rules and is used to being a half-master. He doesn't even know that the Lord of Yinshan can monitor the entire territory at any time."

Jiang Jian stared at the light screen in front of him, speechless.

He never expected that the seemingly clever guide would be so foolish.
