Five hundred years of stacked Q, this one Q, unique and unparalleled throughout eternity!

Luo Tian raised an eyebrow and replied, "The underworld?"

"Exactly!" The White Bone Bodhisattva's face was serious, and his eyes seemed to carry a trace of reminiscence.

"In the mythological world of the Celestial Empire, the Dao Fruit of Death itself is controlled by the Underworld."

The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, incarnated as the Lord of Mount Tai, sits in the underworld. He is nominally the one who holds the power of the Dao Fruit of Death, but in reality, the entire underworld system, including Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the Five Ghost Emperors, the Ten Kings of Hell, the Civil and Military Judges, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and Black and White Impermanence, all enjoy the authority bestowed by the Dao Fruit of Death.

To be precise, the Dao Fruit of Death itself is not controlled by a single powerful being, but rather refers to the entire underworld system.

Relying on the underworld system brought about by the Dao Fruit of Death, the Underworld was able to become one of the Three Realms, and the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak was one of the supreme deities in the origin mythology of the Celestial Empire.

Putting aside that lingering memory, the White Bone Bodhisattva looked at Luo Tian, ​​her tone carrying a meaningful smile as she spoke:

"The path to death is of paramount importance; it is the cornerstone of the underworld system."

"Has Your Excellency considered why this Death Dao Fruit suddenly fell into your hands?"

"Isn't it supposed to be given as a reward for leveling up?" Luo Tian replied subconsciously.

"Upgrade?" The White Bone Bodhisattva's eyes were full of doubt.

Seeing this, Luo Tian casually waved his hand and said, "You continue, you continue!"

The White Bone Bodhisattva was filled with doubts, but seeing that Luo Tian seemed to have no intention of answering them, he continued:

"In fact, several eras ago, the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, who stood at the very top of the underworld and held the boundary between life and death, suddenly claimed to have had an epiphany and wanted to sever his Dao Fruit to take a further step. Thus, he forcibly separated himself from the Dao Fruit of death."

As the nominal holder of the Dao Fruit of Death, Emperor Dongyue had several powerful figures who were only one step away from the Taiyi realm try to take control of the Dao Fruit of Death after he severed his own Dao Fruit and went into seclusion.

However, none of these powerful beings succeeded, and in the end, their Dao fruits vanished beyond the realms and disappeared without a trace.

It is said that in the subsequent eras, lucky individuals from other worlds continuously mastered the Dao Fruit of Death, but they all perished again soon afterward.

Even so, many people still flock to the Dao Fruit of Death, because despite the risks, it still symbolizes a path directly to the Taiyi Realm, an opportunity that is absolutely rare and hard to come by.

Although the underworld did not decline as a result of losing the Dao Fruit of Death, it was severely weakened.

Without the Dao Fruit of Death as its foundation, the gods of the Underworld could only support the Netherworld with their own status, and the Netherworld gradually began to decline.

At this point, the White Bone Bodhisattva glanced meaningfully at Luo Tian.

Clearly, in His words, He already regarded Luo Tian as one of the lucky ones who suddenly obtained the Dao of Death and thus achieved great divine power.

And the fate of these lucky ones was almost without exception: they all suddenly perished, and then their Dao Fruit disappeared again.

Despite listening to the words of the White Bone Bodhisattva, Luo Tian still wore a smile, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with the White Bone Bodhisattva's remarks.

He knew very well how the Death Dao Fruit came about. If he had just suddenly obtained the Death Dao Fruit, it might have been considered a coincidence. But obtaining the Balance of Justice from Egyptian mythology and Tartarus, the god of hell from Greek mythology, after leveling up meant that it was definitely not a coincidence.

No matter how powerful the Dao of Death is, it cannot interfere with the authority of death in the Egyptian mythology of the same level, or with one of the five creator gods in the Greek mythology of the same level.

Moreover, his foundation was not the Dao Fruit of Death, but the passive level of Soul-Draining Pain Strike, which had become a jumbled mess. The little bit of intimidation in the words of the White Bone Bodhisattva had no effect on him at all.

Luo Tian's calmness completely surprised the White Bone Bodhisattva, whose smiling eyes seemed to see through his little thoughts.

The soul fire flickered slightly, and the White Bone Bodhisattva continued speaking:

"In the world of the origin mythology, there are many different opinions about why the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak suddenly abandoned the underworld."

Some believe that the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak wanted to break through to the realm above Taiyi, while others believe that the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak sensed that someone was plotting against the Underworld and therefore gave up the Dao Fruit of Death.

Even more extreme claims have been made that the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak was using the Dao Fruit of Death to find a successor to inherit his position.

But in reality, none of these people guessed the real reason behind it.

The White Bone Bodhisattva sneered, and his hoarse, chilling voice slowly rang out:

"The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak was actually afraid, which is why He voluntarily gave up the Dao Fruit of Death and chose to go into seclusion!"

"What is He afraid of?" Luo Tian's eyes lit up slightly. Although he knew very well that the White Bone Bodhisattva must have had some ulterior motive for saying these words, it was undeniable that this information was quite attractive to Luo Tian.

"The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, whose cultivation was all-encompassing, realized that he was gradually losing control over the Dao Fruit of Death. Whether he actively refined the Dao Fruit of Death or waved the power of the gods of the underworld, he could not stop the Dao Fruit of Death from leaving."

He realized that there was an entity that He could not resist interfering with the underworld, attempting to overtake Him in controlling the path of death.

As a top figure in the Taiyi realm, the Eastern Peak Emperor knew better than anyone the methods possessed by those stronger than the Taiyi realm.

Once again, the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak voluntarily relinquished the Dao Fruit of Death, attempting to protect himself in this way.

Luo Tian looked at the White Bone Bodhisattva and questioned:

"The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak would not tell anyone such a secret. How did you find out about this?"

The white bone bodhisattva's weathered jaws were slightly open, and a smile that seemed even uglier than crying appeared on his face.

With a hint of self-mockery, the White Bone Bodhisattva slowly said:

"Because not long after the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak went into seclusion, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also realized the danger in this matter."

As one of only two great beings in the underworld, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva holds the power of death derived from the fruit of death, and is a deity second only to the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak.

But faced with that unknown will to die, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva ultimately succumbed to fear.

"He did not choose to abandon all the authority over death directly, but instead severed the concept of death himself, using the authority over death as the foundation to create a Dao fruit incarnation."

All the concepts of death that He possessed were gathered into this incarnation of the Dao Fruit.

If in the future, there truly is a being of greatness above all else who reaps the power of death, all He will lose is an incarnation of the Dao Fruit.

However, if no one reclaims the power, He can completely reclaim the Dao Fruit and emanate a new body to regain control of the power of death. He might even use this opportunity to truly master the Dao Fruit of Death and become the true ruler of the underworld.

"And I... am the manifestation of the fruit of enlightenment split off from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!"

The white bone bodhisattva's soul fire flickered with a dark light, silently watching Luo Tian before him.

Upon hearing the explanation from the White Bone Bodhisattva, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Luo Tian's eyes.

He finally understood why Yin Changsheng and the other immortals in the Xuanhuang Great World who sensed the abnormality of the calamity had mistaken the White Bone Bodhisattva for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Because to some extent, the White Bone Bodhisattva is indeed the genuine Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, a fact that even a great being cannot deny.

However, at the same time, the White Bone Bodhisattva, a powerful expert in the Taiyi Realm, was in a much worse situation than Luo Tian had imagined. He was like a domesticated poultry raised by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the kind that could end up on the dinner table one day if he wasn't careful.

The thought of keeping a great being as a backup plan left Luo Tian speechless.

"You are only an incarnation of the Dao Fruit, yet you possess the strength of the Taiyi realm. Could it be that Ksitigarbha has become so powerful that even a single incarnation of him is a great being?"

The White Bone Bodhisattva looked at Luo Tian with great surprise and said:

"You don't think it's easy to divide a Dao Fruit incarnation, do you?"

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva himself possesses the concepts of death and salvation, which makes him one of only two powerful beings among the great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism to have entered the Taiyi realm."

At its peak, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's status far surpassed that of ordinary Buddhas, ranking alongside Mahavairocana and Ratnacana among the Thirty-Three Devas.

By severing his own concept of death, He essentially cut off half of His cultivation and creation, and His physical body was also greatly weakened.

In fact, normally speaking, both my physical body and my Dao Fruit incarnation are already below the Taiyi Realm level.

However, because of the uniqueness of greatness, we are able to maintain our status as great, but our actual power is greatly limited.

Luo Tian nodded thoughtfully. No wonder the White Bone Bodhisattva was able to fight the weakened Jailer, the God of the Sky, Atlas, to a standstill. It turns out they were both pretty much half-baked.

The words of the White Bone Bodhisattva convinced Luo Tian of his reasoning.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has the backing of Buddhism. If there were no truly great risks, he would not have given up the power he had accumulated over countless years in the underworld, and even split his body in two to create this incarnation of the Dao Fruit.

"The unknown will reap the fruits of death."

"If the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva are so fearful, could there truly be a Great Luo above Taiyi?"

"Think about it carefully, since the so-called omniscient and omnipotent God really exists, and has left an incarnation of the Lord of Armies in all realms."

Therefore, the existence of the Great Luo in the mythology of the origin of the Celestial Empire does not seem to be incomprehensible.

However, such beings may only exist in one or two out of every origin myth.

"But why would a Great Luo Immortal reap the Dao Fruit of Death? And why did this thing fall into my possession after wandering through countless realms for so many years?"

Luo Tian finally began to feel a little lost. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he could never quite grasp that one spark of inspiration.

Suddenly, Luo Tian abandoned his tedious thoughts.

"Anyway, it's still unknown whether this Great Luo who scared away the Eastern Peak Emperor actually exists. There's no point in thinking about it now. The more you think about it, the easier it is to be influenced by the White Bone Bodhisattva."

Completely relaxed, Luo Tian thought to himself, half-jokingly:

"Could it be that the Great Emperor of Dongyue foresaw that I would take the Death Dao Fruit after my upgrade, and thus fled in terror, abandoning his own foundation overnight?"

After clearing his mind of all distractions, Luo Tian looked at the White Bone Bodhisattva, whose face seemed to be full of profound meaning.

A smile appeared on his lips, and the White Bone Bodhisattva spoke slowly, his tone seemingly imbued with an invisible magic:

"Your Excellency should have figured out the key point by now, right?"

I am a discarded child of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and although you wield the power of death, you are merely a passerby; in the end, everything will fall under the control of that supreme being.

"Could it be that the Bodhisattva has some way to overcome this tribulation?" Luo Tian cooperated by showing a look of interest.

The White Bone Bodhisattva smiled meaningfully.

"Otherwise, what do you think my purpose is in scheming for the Xuanhuang Great World for so many years?"

"I will replace the underworld with calamities, guide the immortals to fall into the realm of hungry ghosts due to the decline of heaven and man, and take the transformation of heaven and man into hungry ghosts as an opportunity to recast the six realms of reincarnation. When I achieve great success, I can merge with the six realms."

The Six Paths of Reincarnation is one of the important foundations of the Dao Fruit of Death. Even if that supreme being were to reap the Dao Fruit of Death in the future, he would not lightly disturb the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

At most, one can submit to that supreme being and transform into a goddess like Meng Po, but that might also be a way to escape the calamity.

What does Your Excellency think?

Chapter 311 What style of street lamp do you want?

The dark soul flames of the White Bone Bodhisattva flickered gently, like a pair of eyes staring directly at Luo Tian, ​​awaiting his reply.

On the surface, it appears that the White Bone Bodhisattva is showing Luo Tian his trump card, the fruits of his countless years of managing the Xuanhuang Great World.

But in reality, the White Bone Bodhisattva was pointing out a way out for Luo Tian.

In His eyes, Luo Tian was merely a lucky one who had temporarily mastered the Dao Fruit of Death. Despite possessing the Dao Fruit of Death, he had not even been able to advance to the level of Great Divine Power, so one can imagine his aptitude.

Once that supreme being officially reclaims the Dao Fruit of Death, Luo Tian will have no chance of escaping.

Therefore, the White Bone Bodhisattva revealed his entire plan without reservation, with the aim of attracting Luo Tian to participate in the plan.

Under the pressure of the supreme being, the White Bone Bodhisattva was not worried at all that Luo Tian would not get involved.

Hearing these words from the White Bone Bodhisattva, Luo Tian was somewhat surprised.
