Chapter 528 Lord of the Underworld!
Xing Tian shook his head.
"I don't know."
"Her Majesty simply said that since you've arrived, she will take you there."
At this point, Xing Tian's tone suddenly became more meaningful.
"Chen Changsheng".
"It is an extraordinary opportunity that Her Majesty is willing to see you."
"Many powerful figures would like to see Her Majesty, but none of them are qualified."
"You little punk, don't back down."
Chen Changsheng took a deep breath and quickly calmed himself down.
cowardly?
Not necessarily.
The shock was genuine.
After all, someone like Consort Pingxin wouldn't summon him without a reason.
There must be something going on behind this.
Chen Changsheng's mind raced, and many guesses flashed through his mind.
Was it because he resurrected Xing Tian?
Or was it because of the Battle of Momoyama?
Or perhaps it's because of the system he possesses and the many opportunities he has encountered?
Chen Changsheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
This trip to the underworld is probably not as simple as we imagined.
The Golden-Winged Roc said in a low voice, "Master, should I wait for you outside?"
Chen Changsheng glanced at him.
"Didn't you just say you weren't afraid of the underworld?"
The Golden-Winged Roc laughed dryly.
"I'm not afraid of the underworld."
"But I think we should still show respect to someone of Empress Pingxin's rank."
Chen Changsheng said calmly, "It's fine if you stay."
"I was summoned by the Empress."
Xing Tian nodded.
"Let the little bird stay in the Battle Hall."
"Not just anyone can go where the Empress resides."
The Golden-Winged Roc immediately became docile.
Xingtian, holding the War God Axe, strode out of the hall.
"Let's go."
"Her Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng was once again shocked.
Have you been waiting for him for a long time?
This sentence contains a lot of information.
He didn't ask any more questions, but simply followed Xing Tian.
The two left the battle hall and headed towards the deepest part of the Netherworld.
The further they went, the clearer the voice of the underworld became.
The aura of reincarnation grew increasingly heavy.
Chen Changsheng looked up and saw an ancient palace standing silently at the end of the Netherworld.
Outside the palace, the illusory image of the Six Paths of Reincarnation slowly rotated.
And in the depths of that cycle of reincarnation, it seemed as if a gentle yet supreme gaze fell upon him.
The next moment, a clear and calm voice rang in Chen Changsheng's ears.
"Chen Changsheng".
"Come in."
The deepest part of the underworld.
In front of the Hall of Reincarnation.
Chen Changsheng paused slightly.
The voice wasn't loud.
It could even be described as peaceful.
But to his ears, it seemed to carry the weight of the entire Netherworld Reincarnation.
That wasn't just intimidation.
Rather, it is a form of oppression based on social status.
Here, Lady Pingxin is the ruler of the underworld.
Wherever there is reincarnation, it is under her authority.
Chen Changsheng was secretly shaken, but quickly regained his composure.
He cupped his hands in the direction of the Hall of Reincarnation.
"Chen Changsheng greets Empress Pingxin."
Xing Tian stood to the side, his expression unusually solemn.
Normally, he is full of fighting spirit and is bold and rugged.
But when they arrived at the Hall of Reincarnation, even the God of War of the Witch Clan concealed all his sharpness.
This is not fear.
Rather, it is respect.
Houtu transformed into the cycle of reincarnation, which led to the order of the underworld today.
For the Wu tribe, Lady Pingxin is not only the lord of the underworld, but also the ancestral witch Houtu whom they can never forget.
"Go in."
Xing Tian said in a deep voice.
"This is as far as I can take you."
Chen Changsheng nodded.
He strode toward the Hall of Reincarnation.
As he approached, the doors of the main hall opened silently.
The hall was not as gloomy and terrifying as I had imagined.
Instead, it was extremely quiet.
A faint glow of reincarnation swirled around them.
In each ray of light, it seems to reflect the entire life of a living being.
Birth, growth, love and hate, struggle, death, and reincarnation.
Countless destinies intertwine here.
Yet there was no chaos whatsoever.
Chen Changsheng continued forward.
He saw the phantom of the six realms of reincarnation.
The Heavenly Realm, the Human Realm, the Asura Realm, the Animal Realm, the Hungry Ghost Realm, and the Hell Realm.
The cycle of the six realms is infinitely mysterious.
Before the six illusory figures, a woman sat quietly.
She was dressed in a pale yellow palace gown, and her aura was as gentle as the earth.
His face was not fierce, but it possessed a kind of dignified quality that reassured all beings.
She sat there, as if she held the entire underworld within her.
Empress Pingxin.
Chen Changsheng glanced at it only once before looking away and bowing respectfully.
"Chen Changsheng greets Empress Pingxin."
Empress Pingxin looked at him, her gaze calm.
No need for formalities.
"It's kind of you to come to the underworld to return the War God Axe."
Chen Changsheng stood up and said respectfully, "Returning a borrowed treasure is only right and proper."
"Senior Xingtian lent me the War God Axe, for which I am deeply indebted."
"I will never forget the promise of immortality."
Empress Pingxin nodded slightly.
"Be grateful and keep your promises."
"In the primordial world, these two points seem simple, but they are actually quite rare."
Chen Changsheng did not respond.
When dealing with someone like Consort Pingxin, it's best to say as little as possible.
Saying more doesn't necessarily mean making more mistakes, but it certainly makes it easier for others to see through you.
Empress Pingxin seemed to see through his thoughts, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"You're quite cautious."
Chen Changsheng's heart stirred slightly, and he could only cup his hands and say, "I dare not be presumptuous before Your Majesty."
Empress Pingxin said softly, "In the Heavenly Court, you don't seem like someone who wouldn't dare to act recklessly."
"In the Battle of Peach Mountain, we slew the Heavenly Soldiers, suppressed the Chan Sect, and fought against the West."
"And in the name of the God of Law Enforcement, he forced the Heavenly Court to re-examine the Heavenly Laws."
"Chen Changsheng, what you've done is no small matter."
Chen Changsheng's expression remained unchanged, but his heart secretly trembled.
As expected, Lady Pingxin knew about the Peach Mountain incident.
Moreover, judging from her tone, she seemed to know the details of the Battle of Momoyama very well.
But that's normal.
The cycle of reincarnation in the netherworld connects to all living beings in the primordial world.
Major events that occur in the primordial world are hard to hide from this ruler of the underworld.
Chen Changsheng said in a deep voice, "Regarding the matter of Peach Mountain, I was merely acting in accordance with the prevailing trend."
"Yang Jian's family suffered misfortune; the heavenly laws are unjust."
"Since Changsheng is a law enforcement god, he should naturally take charge of this."
Empress Pingxin looked at him.
"The God of Law Enforcement"
"Your divine position is quite interesting."
"The Heavenly Court has entrusted you with enforcing the law, but what you enforce is not just the law of the Heavenly Court."
"You seem more inclined to seek justice."
Chen Changsheng remained silent for a moment.
He then said, "Your Majesty has discerning eyes."
"Whether it's the Heavenly Laws or the Heavenly Rules, if they are merely tools for the strong to oppress the weak, then such laws are better left unenforced."
"Immortality is not about overthrowing the Heavenly Court."
"I just feel that if the Heavenly Court wants to rule the Three Realms, it can't just rely on coercion."
"The human heart, the heart of the immortals, and the heart of all spirits should also be explained."
Upon hearing these words, the Samsara Palace immediately fell silent.
Chen Changsheng himself knew that these words were somewhat bold.
But when facing Consort Pingxin, he didn't want to completely hide it.
Because the person before me has been reincarnated and has witnessed too much suffering of all beings.
There's no point in saying anything empty to her.
Empress Pingxin was not angry.
On the contrary, there was a hint of approval in her eyes.
"No wonder Tongtian values you so much."
"No wonder Zhao Gongming took you as his disciple."
"You young man, you certainly have a lot of guts."
Chen Changsheng felt a slight sense of relief.
At least Empress Pingxin had no ill intentions.
Empress Pingxin continued, "You helped Xingtian revive and borrowed the War God's Axe to travel through the primordial world."
"Logically speaking, I should thank you."
Chen Changsheng quickly replied, "Your Majesty is too kind."
