Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 230 Ascending to the Initial Stage of High-Rank Grand Judge
Exorcism rituals are performed every year, but this is the first time that a deity has actually been invoked. What's even more outrageous is that a simple sword strike actually sliced ​​through the atmosphere...

Everyone present, as well as the dark web exorcists watching via live stream, was speechless with shock.

This is in broad daylight.

Look at that sky, as if it's been parted in the middle, with the dark background of the cosmos. Isn't the power a bit too much?

Standing, a white man of traditional faith, was so close to this scene that he lay down on the ground, turned around, and bowed his head towards the location of the Fengdu Beiyin Temple, pressing his forehead tightly against the tiles.

This……

It is the divine power of China.

From this day forward, Tastantin is a devoted follower of this deity, the Great Emperor of Fengdu Beiyin!
On the rooftop, the blurry deity wielding the sword paused for a couple of seconds, his gaze fixed on the chasm in the sky, seemingly surprised by the fragility of this world...

The black cloud representing "death" was split in two and could not be glued back together no matter what.

The sword-wielding deity spread his left hand, and the dark clouds instantly condensed in the air into a small black bead that flew over and hovered above his palm, spinning rapidly...

He returned with the black bead, his illusory figure disappearing into the statue, as if his actions were merely a routine trip to pick up takeout. The black bead merged with the hilt of the sword on the statue, becoming a decorative element.

The statue of the Emperor of Fengdu no longer shines.

Two figures emerged from the portraits of two civil officials on the wall in the corner. They landed in a semi-transparent state, and it turned out to be Wang Anlu meeting the two clerks.

They bowed to the statue of the Emperor of Fengdu, then walked over with smiles and said, "Brother Li Xuan, how have you been? We meet again."

Seeing how relaxed they were talking, Li Xuan realized that as long as they didn't break the law, the conditions for getting along were quite lenient.

Wang An cupped his hands and said, “Brother Li Xuan, you found a ruined place in this remote area of ​​Hong Kong Island. Because you promptly informed the underworld, King Yama sent a messenger to suppress it, restoring the balance of Yin and Yang to normal. This is a great merit, and the judge of Fengdu has already recorded this in your merit book.”

Lu Jianye smiled and said, "Now, having recovered fragments of the corrupted rules of reincarnation in this world, and correcting the chaos, is a great achievement! This place was once under the control of a false god from another realm, but now it has entered the domain of Fengdu. If false gods arise again or gods from other realms invade, they will have no right to interfere. Otherwise, the sword of Fengdu will not be without its advantages."

He was in a good mood. Although the Supreme God of Fengdu controlled multiple parallel worlds, there were always some false gods causing trouble, which was annoying...

Although Fengdu has an Imperial Censorate, since the incident of the Six Cave Heavenly Demons in the first year of the Longhan era, it has not easily resorted to killing and waging war. It deals with these false gods slowly, and allows them to live if they do not go mad and slaughter others.

Wang An raised his hands, revealing a scroll in his palms. He slowly unfurled it and proclaimed in a loud voice: "By imperial decree of the Northern Emperor of Fengdu: The disciple of the Supreme Three-Five Demon-Slaying Initial True Secret Register and the Left Judge of the General Records of Fengdu, who is in charge of deliberating on the affairs of the ghosts and gods of the Six Heavens of Northern Yin, has repeatedly performed meritorious deeds. He should be punished for his transgressions and rewarded for his good deeds. Therefore, his register is hereby specially granted!"
From a low-grade, inferior rank, he has been promoted to a high-grade, lower-grade rank! He is hereby specially promoted to Grand Judge of the Fengdu Taixuan Records Office, concurrently in charge of the affairs of ghosts and spirits in the Northern Yin Fengdu General Records Office!

The scroll transformed into a beam of light and disappeared into the purplish-red gourd at Li Xuan's waist, adding the authority of the Nine Springs Command and the Seal for Investigating Ghosts and Gods in the Three Realms.

Wang An smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Congratulations, Brother Li, on your promotion to Grand Judge and Minister of the Gods and Spirits. The speed of your promotion is astonishing, and it also shows that there is no limit to what lies ahead."

Lu Jian also said something similar.

They had practically watched Li Xuan level up from the very beginning. Although his progress was rapid, he had indeed accomplished a great deal. Now that they had established a good relationship with him, it might come in handy in the future... Li Xuan had a pretty good idea that he was about to level up. Overjoyed, he thanked them and then looked at the statue of the Northern Yin Emperor, kneeling down respectfully to express his gratitude.

He recalled the events in Hong Kong and said, “By the Great Emperor of the Northern Underworld, the underworld in Hong Kong has been crumbling since ancient times. Fortunately, one person used his flesh and soul to forcefully take over the power and maintain the cycle of reincarnation. Now, the Wheel King has taken over the underworld, but that person’s soul is almost on the verge of being destroyed… I beg the Great Emperor for help.”

Wang An and Lu Jian exchanged a glance and immediately felt something was amiss. They had just been promoted; they shouldn't be talking about other things.

The statue of the Emperor of Fengdu did not react, but the statue next to it holding a sword emitted a faint light, and a voice from it said: "The Emperor is aware of the good deeds of the Lord of the Underworld. With the Five Elements combined, the primordial spirit is reforged, and he is granted temporary office in Fengdu."

The statue returned to its original state after the words were spoken.

Seeing this, Wang An said, "Brother Li Xuan, you... have a kind heart. Even as you are being promoted, you still think of this person!"

Li Xuan looked at the black bead inlaid on the hilt of the sword-wielding deity and asked, "What exactly is this 'Grim Reaper'? Why can't I sense any evil intent or magical power from it?"

Wang An explained: "What people call the 'Grim Reaper' is actually a fragment of the broken cycle of reincarnation. Because it absorbs the life force of the human world, it develops a unique consciousness, but its instincts still follow the rules of reincarnation."

In this world, if there are people destined to die but who are spared from death by chance, these survivors are seen by the Grim Reaper as "disorderly" beings who defy expectations and must be punished according to their predetermined fate in order to ensure that the cycle of reincarnation continues.

Because his mind was solely focused on killing, he could not tolerate any other thoughts, which made his moves sluggish and difficult to execute. An ordinary person could easily dodge them with the slightest thought. After repeated defeats, his techniques grew increasingly fierce, sometimes erupting like a volcano, sometimes surging like a flood!

He understood.

The Grim Reaper is essentially a fragment of reincarnation with sentience. Its methods are limited; if it sees someone who should die but hasn't, it will try to fix the bug. If it fails to do so multiple times, it will resort to stronger methods... In other words, it can't handle the game.

The Grim Reaper incident that terrified exorcists worldwide turned out to be a fragment of rules...

The power of rules—no wonder I couldn't sense any magical power...

After Wang An finished explaining, he exchanged a few pleasantries with Lu Jian and left.

The top floor of the Queen's Building was restored to its original state. Standin didn't dare to speak casually. Only when no more divine voices could be heard did he slightly raise his head to look at Li Xuan and whisper, "Mr. Li Xuan, have the gods gone home?"

Li Xuan said, "The main god and the secondary gods did not actually descend. What you just saw was merely an extension of the gods' consciousness, which can also be understood as a projection of consciousness."

Standin's mouth gaped open in disbelief: "He didn't even come; is just a mental clone this powerful?"

Seeing his surprise, Li Xuan immediately felt that Chinese ghost and god culture was beginning to be exported abroad, and said with a smile, "That's right, the so-called main god is the main god of Fengdu in the underworld. We respectfully call him the Great Emperor of the Northern Yin of Fengdu. He is in charge of the good and evil, life and death, and reincarnation of ghosts and gods in Fengdu. If there are demons and monsters causing trouble in the mortal world, he will also send troops to suppress them..."

Standin was shocked: "So that's how it is. The sword-wielding god just now sent troops to fight against Death."

Li Xuan shook his head and said, "You're mistaken. It's not about condemnation; it hasn't reached that level yet. Everything will be judged by standards later. The way we handled things just now was simply because we were building a temple and consecrating the spirits, and we happened to see the 'Grim Reaper' having the gods who were following him do some cleaning."
