Chapter 188 Heaven and Man Unite
"Is there some mistake?"

Qin Sheng couldn't help but say, "Nie Xiaoqian, Ning Caichen, a story of a female ghost scholar falling in love!"

"How could you possibly have such a desire as to re-establish the Heavenly Court and annihilate the Heavenly Dao?"

Even if you were to fall in love with the Tree Demon Granny, I still... can't accept that.

Daring to talk about suicide, then resurrecting and committing suicide again.

Re-establishing the Heavenly Court...

This left Qin Sheng momentarily confused as to whether it was him or Qin Sheng from A Chinese Ghost Story who had transmigrated into the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

Is the true lineage of Shrouding the Heavens set in another world?
Slaughtering the Heavenly Dao...

Ah, so I'm actually Dugu Baitian?

Qin Sheng from A Chinese Ghost Story smiled brightly, "I think my wish is quite normal. After all, I don't have anything else I want to do, so don't worry."

"With your qualifications, even if you don't have the opportunity to do it now, you will definitely be able to do it in the future."

Qin Sheng's other wishes, though varying in difficulty, were all reasonable and could not possibly harm Qin Sheng, who was shrouded in darkness.

No one would harm themselves.

"It's not that I think I can't do it, it's just too outrageous, even stranger than me playing basketball," Qin Sheng shook his head.

"Basketball?" Qin Sheng asked curiously. "Are there chickens?"

"...Not that basketball. There was a version of me who traveled to the world of Basketball Fire, got into a car accident, and my wish was to play basketball."

Qin Sheng, however, became more interested. "So, how did your fight go? Did you fulfill your wish?"

Cultivation, demons, beauties, and the joy of revenge are all too common.

But this is my first time playing basketball, so I have to give it a try.

It's hard not to be interested.

"Although everything is going smoothly so far, I still have to say something..." Qin Sheng's expression was subtle.

"That's really unscientific."

"So, what exactly did you go through to develop such a wish?" Qin Sheng asked seriously.

"The world of A Chinese Ghost Story is not as simple as the story we know it to be."

Qin Sheng from A Chinese Ghost Story said, "In the underworld where the Black Mountain Demon resides, there are not only one great demons like him. The former Underworld and Yama, these organizations and powerful figures who governed the underworld, have either disappeared without a trace or turned into calamities."

"In the human world, there is not only the thousand-year-old demon Pudu Cihang. With the chaos of Yin and Yang and the collapse of order, a large number of monsters have been bred in both the human world and the underworld."

When Yin and Yang are in disarray, humans and ghosts coexist, and the cycle of reincarnation collapses, a great calamity is inevitable.

"The so-called plot only describes a corner of this turbid world, the story of a few people."

Qin Sheng nodded; he naturally understood this.

Just like in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, Ye Fan's experiences are wonderful, but in the entire universe, he is not the only one who is a legend.

Wang Teng's past life is a typical example.

Beyond the people Ye Fan met, the places he visited, and the opportunities he obtained, there are many more untold stories unfolding, all of which objectively exist.

Compared to those, Ye Fan's experiences were merely the tip of the iceberg of the vast universe.

"I have devoted my life to cultivation, killed the Tree Demon Granny, cut down Pudu Cihang, and destroyed the Black Mountain Demon, but I have only taken the first step." Qin Sheng said with some emotion.

Throughout his life, he walked on thin ice, and in the end, he still failed to reach the other side.

"Of course, it's not that these three demons are just beginner monsters. Leaving aside the first two, the Black Mountain Demon is indeed very strong, and he is among the top in both the Yin and Yang realms."

Qin Sheng from A Chinese Ghost Story continued, "After slaying Black Mountain, I gained some insights. After cultivating for a period of time, I became basically invincible in both the Yin and Yang realms."

"In the end, I discovered that the source of the Yin-Yang imbalance in the world of A Chinese Ghost Story was in the heavens."

If a world has a human realm and an underworld, then the existence of a celestial realm is perfectly normal.

Heaven, Earth, and Man are a very common world structure in all the myriad realms.

“Long ago, there were immortals and gods and a heavenly court in this world. When the immortals and gods all perished and the heavenly court collapsed, the order was disrupted, monsters arose, and it became a hell on earth.”

"The Heavenly Court..." Qin Sheng seemed to be deep in thought.

Hearing these things from Qin Sheng in A Chinese Ghost Story was both surprising and expected.

The original plot of A Chinese Ghost Story did indeed indirectly reflect some things, such as Bodhisattvas and Buddhas.

"Don't worry too much, there are differences between different Heavenly Courts."

Qin Sheng from A Chinese Ghost Story shook his head, "This world's limit is just this, far inferior to the world you transmigrated to, Shrouding the Heavens. The strength of the Heavenly Court's immortals and gods is just so-so, they can't even beat me."

"I have traveled all over the world, but the size of the entire world is about the same as the Earth in our previous life."

Not every god in every world is powerful; in some worlds, even Sun Wukong can be poisoned by pesticides.

In the myriad realms, the existence of gods and immortals has an incredibly high upper limit and an absurdly low lower limit.

“Slaughtering the Heavenly Dao… I think I understand now. There’s something wrong with the Heavenly Dao in your world?” Qin Sheng said.

Qin Sheng nodded.

"In order to find out what exactly happened, I broke through the boundary between heaven and man and ascended to the legendary heaven."

He said, "It's all ruins now. The central hub of heaven and earth has malfunctioned, leaving only a dazed and completely demonic Heavenly Emperor."

"At first I thought the collapse of the Heavenly Court was because the Heavenly Emperor had become a demon, but after I killed the Heavenly Emperor, I found that it was not so."

"The distorted and corrupt Heavenly Dao is the real culprit. The Heavenly Emperor was also controlled by it. I was able to kill the Heavenly Emperor, but I could not deal with the Heavenly Dao, and I eventually perished."

"You're... having a bit of bad luck."

This is Qin Sheng, who has already cultivated to the point of being invincible in his own world, even the Heavenly Emperor is no match for him, but unfortunately he encountered such a thing.

It can be said that even supernatural powers cannot overcome fate.

Human will can conquer nature...

It's actually quite difficult.

"No, I think I'm very lucky."

Qin Sheng from A Chinese Ghost Story smiled and said, "If I were to rely solely on myself, I would never be able to contend with the Heavenly Dao. I was born in that world, grew up in that world, and all my power originates from there."

"The way of Heaven is too restrained for me."

Throughout the myriad realms, those worlds where the Heavenly Dao has malfunctioned and living beings are at odds with it have all experienced arduous processes and ultimately ended in despair, with no hope in sight.

"But things are different now. I have the opportunity to truly end the corrupt Heavenly Way and set things right."

"I will fulfill both of your wishes." Qin Sheng nodded solemnly.

All helplessness in the world stems from the inadequacy of the person involved.

"I believe you, but you don't need to rush. The Heavenly Dao has been corrupt for so many years, and it doesn't seem to have any intention of destroying the world," Qin Sheng from A Chinese Ghost Story said with a smile.

Qin Sheng nodded, then asked another question, "But if I really end the Heavenly Dao in the future, will the world of A Chinese Ghost Story be destroyed along with it?"

"This..." Qin Sheng pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

I cannot answer your question.

What exactly is the Way of Heaven? It's beyond his level of understanding to comprehend.

"As for more things, you can look into them slowly after you inherit my memories. This is more intuitive than me telling you, and it will not omit anything."

"My lord, don't die, at least not before you fulfill my last wish."

He was carefree; his figure dissipated, turning into specks of light that rose into the sky, and the twentieth star quietly appeared.

A 20-fold increase!
"It's a dream."

Qin Sheng was somewhat emotional. If the "Qian Nu Qin Sheng" hadn't mentioned his origins and had instead spoken of his last wish, he would never have guessed that he had transmigrated to the world of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

"Let me see what your specific experiences are..."

The world of A Chinese Ghost Story.

Amidst the ruins, Qin Sheng, who had supposedly perished due to the will of Heaven, was resurrected.

But Qin Sheng immediately sensed something was wrong; a demonic power existed within his body, constantly assimilating him.

Qin Sheng was stunned. What was going on?

After careful consideration, Qin Sheng immediately retracted his primordial spirit into the deepest part of his sea of ​​consciousness, trying to delay the time when the demonic power would touch his primordial spirit as much as possible.

The physical body being assimilated is a minor matter; the primordial spirit is of utmost importance.

Qin Sheng did not act rashly, choosing instead to first sort out his memories.

As a young man, Qin Sheng left his hometown to pursue the Dao. After achieving success in his cultivation, he returned to Guo Bei County and slew the tree demon Granny. Later, he went through trials and tribulations in the mortal world, upholding justice and helping others. His cultivation level increased, and countless demons and monsters died at his hands.

"Indeed, this is a chaotic world, with not only man-made disasters but also extraordinary calamities."

In the memory of the beautiful girl Qin Sheng, he had killed so many demons and monsters that his hands were numb from killing.

It was during this journey of roaming the world with a sword that Qin Sheng learned about the existence of the ancient Heavenly Court from various sources, where cultivators in the mortal realm could ascend to immortality.

But after a certain period of time, the passage between heaven and man suddenly closed, which was very inexplicable, and no one could ascend to heaven anymore.

Even the various sects on earth could no longer contact their ancestral masters in heaven. The celestial beings and humans were forever separated, and no one knew what had happened. Ascension became a legend, and immortals and gods became illusions.

It was from that time that the underworld was destroyed, and all sorts of ghosts and demons roamed the land, ruling the mountains and beginning to invade the human world.

In this world structured around the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, if something goes wrong in Heaven or the Underworld, the human world will inevitably suffer.

The Heavenly Court, which ruled the Three Realms, collapsed, and the Heavenly Laws and Rules became nothing but empty words; the Underworld, which maintained the cycle of reincarnation, was annihilated, and evil spirits lingered in the human world.

The order that belongs to humans is destined to cease to exist.

The human realm bore the brunt of everything.

Continuing to examine the memories, we find that Qin Sheng, the woman from the story, did many things in this world, bringing about tremendous changes.

He supported Ning Caichen and Yan Chixia, one a scholar and the other a warrior, who quelled banditry, swept away barbarian tribes, cleaned up officialdom, and restored the order of the world, leading a chaotic world to great order and prosperity for humanity.

He taught Nie Xiaoqian to use ghosts to fight ghosts, gradually restoring order to the underworld, balancing yin and yang, clearing the turbid and purifying the six realms, stabilizing the cycle of birth and death, separating humans from ghosts, and re-establishing the underworld.

All demons and monsters, evil spirits and monsters, were wiped out, a new world was created, and the Yin and Yang realms operated independently.

The living have a place to live, and the dead have a place to return to.

To this world, the beautiful Qin Sheng is a savior, worshipped by all beings and enjoying boundless incense offerings.

"What a legendary life! He's practically the protagonist, a chosen one of destiny," Qin Sheng exclaimed in amazement.

Qin Sheng's life was arguably the most eventful among all the deceased versions of himself.

He had a glorious life, more mythical than gods and more wise than sages, and countless people admired and worshipped him.

The sky cannot obscure its light, the earth cannot dim its brilliance, and the mortal world cannot taint its color.

After the re-establishment of Yin and Yang, the auspicious energy and faith of both realms converged within the body of the beautiful woman Qin Sheng, and his cultivation reached a level of profound mastery.

He realized the existence of the celestial realm, which had disappeared in the world's perception.

At this point, Qin Sheng, the heroine of the azure maiden, was already incredibly powerful, unmatched in the world.

Therefore, the beautiful girl Qin Sheng chose to forcibly ascend to the heavens and enter the celestial realm.

The place is devastated, devoid of any celestial atmosphere. With the corpses of immortals and gods as a backdrop, it seems not to be the heavenly court, but a ghostly realm.

On the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, deepest within the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Emperor, who has already fallen into demonic possession, is the only "living person".

The beautiful woman Qin Sheng tried to communicate with him, but the Heavenly Emperor had lost all reason and was unable to communicate. In the end, the beautiful woman Qin Sheng killed him.

Before his death, the Heavenly Emperor regained a sliver of clarity and told the beautiful girl Qin Sheng some things.

This world originally had no Heavenly Way, only the most basic will of Heaven and Earth.

The world evolves from creation to annihilation, from prosperity to decline; everything is predetermined.

The world of A Chinese Ghost Story has endured a long period of time, accumulating too much filth and becoming unbearable, causing it to gradually decline and weakening the will of heaven and earth.

If things continue like this, the world will descend into the end of Dharma, and immortals and gods will lose their status.

In an effort to change all this, the Heavenly Court made many attempts, and finally, in an unexpected turn of events that no one could understand, the instinctive will of Heaven and Earth was elevated to the rudimentary form of the Heavenly Dao.

This was a miracle; even the gods in Heaven didn't understand why such a thing had happened, as it was beyond their control.

In saving the world, Heaven could be said to have succeeded, but also failed.

After the rudimentary form of the Heavenly Dao was born, the world's self-circulation ability was greatly enhanced, enabling it to bear more filth and extending its lifespan.

However, the rudimentary form of the Heavenly Way was born in an environment where all living beings had grievances, immortals and gods had selfish desires, and heaven and earth were corrupted. It was already tainted from the moment it was born and was not perfectly impartial.

The pollution continued, eventually leading to a completely distorted and corrupted Heavenly Will. As the person closest to Heaven and Earth, the Heavenly Emperor was subtly influenced, but by the time he realized it, it was too late.

The corrupted Heavenly Dao took shape. The Heavenly Emperor's rise and fall were both due to his position. Unable to resist the erosion of the Heavenly Dao, he became a puppet of the Heavenly Dao.

Before he fell into demonic possession, the Heavenly Emperor deliberately isolated the celestial and mortal realms, and all the celestial gods and immortals of the Heavenly Court died at the hands of the Heavenly Emperor.

"Although she received a reminder from this Heavenly Emperor, the beautiful Qin Sheng was ultimately no match for the Heavenly Dao."

Qin Sheng sighed. Just as the beautiful Qin Sheng said, everything he had came from heaven and earth and could not be transcended. So how could he defeat the Heavenly Dao?
He had done everything perfectly, but he failed at the last step.

But this is not Qin Sheng's fault; it is the fault of this world.

"Sigh, although the death of others would be a great help to me, in your situation, I really hope you don't die." Qin Sheng shook his head.

"Furthermore, the potential of this A Chinese Ghost Story world is indeed not high."

After reviewing all of Qin Sheng's memories, Qin Sheng had a clear understanding of the situation.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this place is full of gods and immortals, and sounds invincible; in reality, it's just average.

After comparing his own power with that of the goddess Qin Sheng, Qin Sheng realized that the immortals, gods, and emperors of this world were nothing to him.

In terms of area, the world of A Chinese Ghost Story is about the same size as his previous life's Earth.

In terms of the energy of heaven and earth, even compared to the Big Dipper in the Daojian era, this place is very sparse.

It's incomparable to the world level.

"It's just that the way of Heaven is somewhat unfathomable."

Even the smallest world is still a world; the Heavenly Dao of a realm and the living beings within it are two different concepts.

Qin Sheng dared not underestimate this opponent.

After figuring out the whole situation, Qin Sheng roughly guessed what the demonic power that assimilated him was.

Oh no! Heaven wants me to become its puppet, just like the Demon Emperor!
Qin Sheng stood up and looked around. All he could see were broken walls and the corpses of immortals and gods.

The expressions of these deities were all distorted, and their corpses exuded demonic energy. The Heavenly Emperor had fallen into demonic possession, and the deities below him were the same. Moreover, due to their difference in strength, their resistance was far inferior to that of the Heavenly Emperor, and they instantly succumbed to demonic possession.

This is why the Heavenly Emperor separated the celestial and mortal realms and killed all the immortals and gods.

To prevent these demonic immortals and gods from harming the world.

Qin Sheng's act of coming back from the dead immediately attracted the attention of the Fallen Heavenly Dao.

A pair of eyes appeared in front of him.

What kind of eyes are these? They are the deepest black, churning with undisguised malice, where every negative emotion can be found.

Extremely evil, extremely wicked, extremely selfish.

The Eye of Heaven.

A thought came to him, and Qin Sheng grasped its meaning.

"Resurrection... You're very interesting. I will make you a part of me and let you know everything about you."

The Eye of Heaven silently watched Qin Sheng, without making any move, but the demonic power within Qin Sheng gave rise to the will of Heaven.

The Dao of Heaven has been revived within me.

The body, already assimilated by demonic power, has become part of the Heavenly Dao. This is a more thorough erosion than that of the previous Demon Emperor.

The Heavenly Dao changed its mind and wanted Qin Sheng to be its incarnation in the world, not a puppet to be manipulated.

He wanted to unite with Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng wanted to resist, but at that moment, he sensed something through that part of his body that had been assimilated.

"This is……"

Qin Sheng sensed the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao and perceived everything in the world.

The laws of the Great Dao, the operation of the Three Realms, and the thoughts of all living beings—everything in this world appeared in Qin Sheng's "vision," with unparalleled clarity.

"It's so beautiful, so grand."

In the blink of an eye, Qin Sheng's extraordinary wisdom came into play, and a plan was devised.

He ceased resistance, allowing himself to merge with the Dao and become one with it. In this process, he witnessed more of the origins of the world.

But Qin Sheng did not die again, because his consciousness still existed.

The existence of himself in twenty other worlds, including the world of Shrouding the Heavens, ensured that his consciousness could remain clear even while he was in the state of becoming the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao.

It worked!
Qin Sheng now seems to be parasitizing the Heavenly Dao.

Great! I've become a "puppet" of the Heavenly Dao!
