Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 513 Recognizing the Master! The causal thread of the entire primordial universe.

The six realms of reincarnation, or the cycle of cause and effect.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Underworld, under Qin Ming's instruction, the core of the "Fengdu Black Law" and the principles of the Ten Kings of Hell's judgment were actually eight words.

what goes around comes around!
This is the simplest and most direct cause-and-effect relationship.

This also allowed internal conflicts within human groups to be suppressed to the greatest extent possible.

Almost everyone will die!
Even the immortal are no exception. Although they are immortal, how many immortals have died in the long course of time?
Good deeds in the past life will bring good results in the next.

You reap what you sow in your past life.

This is no longer just empty talk, but a true reflection of reality.

You may be able to deceive others, but once you die, when your soul's memories are revealed in the clearest and most direct way by the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, all pretense becomes meaningless.

The most direct way.

The slave trade, which once flourished throughout the human race's territory, has almost disappeared!

Why?

In the judgment of the underworld, harming one's own kind is a grave crime!

Almost all the slave traders, big and small, were sent to the eighteen hells to suffer the most severe punishments.

The more ferocious and vicious they are.

The more severe the punishment after death, the more miserable it becomes.

Who would dare!
The slave trade is a very low-level thing, but it's only on a cosmic level.

What kind of people would get involved with this kind of stuff?
Having a realm lord is already quite an achievement.

Take, for example, 'Pansy,' who created the Fire Phoenix Group, who wreaked havoc on an entire star field. Yet, even with his extraordinary opportunities, he was still merely a Realm Lord, not even an Immortal.

In this way, such behavior will naturally disappear.

Human greed.

But they all have to back down in the face of the most direct and brutal threats!

Qin Ming's establishment of the Netherworld was not done secretly.

Instead, it should be openly displayed to everyone, with public trials held from time to time to create a deterrent effect.

The principle of cause and effect was destined to be a great path he would have to tread in the future, from the moment he established the Netherworld and the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Otherwise, the six realms of reincarnation would be meaningless!
"The Realm of Cause and Effect?"

Holding the ancient mirror in his hand, Qin Ming probed it with his divine power, intending to refine it.

Since the Holy Soul General gave him the Realm of Cause and Effect, it means that he is most likely able to directly recognize the master at this moment.

Qin Ming did not believe that he would fail to recognize the master.

Even for a supreme treasure like the Star Tower, which has incredibly high requirements for recognizing a master, the only requirement is that the user's will be two levels higher than their own cultivation level.

With his current cultivation level as the master of the universe, he can recognize a master once he steps into the void and enters the true god's will.

But his will was so strong that it reached the level of an eternal true god!

But when he tried to acknowledge the Lord, he felt a sense of obstruction.

It made it difficult for his divine power to penetrate.

"Humph!"

Qin Ming narrowed his eyes.

The surging divine power rushed into him like a tide, breaking through the barrier. But the next moment, he felt as if he had fallen into some kind of illusion.

In an instant, he was cut off from all contact with the outside world.

It was as if I had entered a world made entirely of "lines".

Countless slender, shimmering "lines" containing different auras and information emerged from nothingness and entangled his consciousness.

"A thread of cause and effect?"

Qin Ming was startled; he sensed a familiar aura in the largest of the countless lines.

That was the aura of the Dark God, the Lord of the Qianwu, the Giant Axe, Luo Feng, and other humans!
Through the thread of cause and effect, he could sense the emotions contained within it, including worry, expectation, and even reverence for certain choices he had made in the past.

It transformed into the weight of emotions, binding his soul.

Besides these familiar lines, there were some lines that were as black as ink, exuding an aura of resentment and curse.

At a glance, Qin Ming saw the origin of these lines.

Unsurprisingly, they were all old friends. Zhen Yaozu, the Demon Lord of the Prison Clan, the Holy Lord of the Crystal Clan, and those powerful figures from various clans who had once been enemies of the human race, were suppressed after the rise of the human race, but had not died.

It was present throughout almost the entire primordial universe.

"Tsk, the Purple Moon Ancestor? He actually hates me that much?"

Qin Ming shook his head slightly. He knew that Zhen Yaozu and the others hated him. After all, their clans had been suppressed and had no chance to rise again, so it was only natural that they hated him.

But this Purple Moon Ancestor is rather amusing, as it was this Purple Moon Ancestor who provoked him from the very beginning.

Besides these powerful beings, many of them also come from the Eighteen Hells of the Netherworld God Kingdom!

Clearly, those who were tried and punished by him under the "Dark Laws of Fengdu" also hated him from the bottom of their hearts and cursed him.

Of course, apart from these.

Similarly, there are countless threads of cause and effect imbued with reverence, fanaticism, and even faith, not only among the human race who benefit from him.

Even in the territories of other races, there are such causal relationships.

It is no exaggeration to say that because of his strength and the appearance of the Netherworld, most life forms in the entire primordial universe have established a causal relationship with him.

The living and even the dead are all connected by threads of cause and effect.

However, the other end of these causal threads is filled with nothingness and is not connected to anything.

Beyond these, he even saw the causal branches arising from each choice, some growing stronger, some shrinking, with countless possibilities as dense as a spider web.

"Is this a causal link connecting me to God? Why do these things appear when I acknowledge God?"

Just as Qin Ming was filled with doubt.

All the causal threads connecting him began to be activated and amplified.

In particular, from those threads of cause and effect filled with resentment and curses towards him, invisible forces surged forth, and he seemed to hear countless voices.

The endless vicious curses and insults seemed to have transformed into tangible pressure.

It's like an attack of malevolent energy or a blow to one's will.

It was as if a billion mountains were pressing down on his soul, accompanied by excruciating pain that felt like his soul was being burned.

Then came an endless array of illusions!
There was goodwill and there was malice.

The countless illusions left Qin Ming somewhat bewildered for a moment.

"Cause and effect backlash?"

"To control cause and effect, one must first bear the weight of cause and effect?"

In an instant, Qin Ming understood the requirements for taking control of this realm of cause and effect.

Unlike the Star Tower's trials of will and the agony of a torn soul.

The condition for recognizing a master in this realm of cause and effect is cause and effect!

He needs to bear the endless causal forces.

It is necessary to sort out and understand these tangled threads of cause and effect before one can gradually grasp them.

"It's troublesome."

Qin Ming's expression changed slightly. He seemed to understand why the Holy Soul General hadn't reminded him to pay attention to the conditions for recognizing a master.

Under normal circumstances, a person cannot connect to many causal lines.

Even something as powerful as a giant axe.

There aren't many people who are directly connected to him by cause and effect.

Apart from his own people, top human experts, and some powerful alien races, most life forms were completely unaware of the existence of the giant axe.

They are not qualified either.

But he was different. When he led humanity to rise, countless people became stronger because of him.

The three basic potions, the legacy of the Purple Moon Holy Land, and so on.

After establishing the Netherworld, and as the Netherworld gradually expanded, it occupied the original territories of humans, the Northern Frontier Alliance, the Nine Domains Alliance, the demon race, the mechanical race, the insect race, and so on.

The number of lives directly affected is countless.

While Qin Ming was adventuring in the Cosmic Sea to receive the inheritance, the hundreds of universe lords and countless soul-reaping messengers in the Netherworld God Kingdom did not stop.

The banners of ten thousand souls, crafted by the Heavenly Crafting Hall, were being expanded outwards at an alarming rate.

Thus, the current situation has arisen.
