Chapter 891 Xiaohu, you are not allowed to sleep here

The center of the underworld.

The dark underworld where the supporting divine tree once stood originally had a view of a sea of ​​stars, but now there is only a gray and decaying atmosphere, and only a charred root remains of the sturdy divine tree.

Zhang Xiaohu dragged his weak body and staggered step by step to the charred tree roots. He let out a long breath and collapsed to the ground as if he had lost all his strength.

As a small person, the price of knowing "destiny" is to keep burning his soul and the merits of his life until everything is exhausted, and then fall into true emptiness, with no past, no afterlife, and not even the slightest trace left.

Fortunately, he managed to hold on until Li Yuan returned to the underworld.

Over the years, he has personally handled the reincarnation of countless Anshan creatures. Because the dark corners of the underworld are too corrupt, Xiaohu can only watch it personally to ensure that those souls are not coerced or entangled, and can be reincarnated quickly.

Every time Zhang Xiaohu completed the reincarnation process for an Anshan creature, his soul would become weaker. This was the price of being a minor underworld immortal and interfering in irrelevant matters.

But Zhang Xiaohu was not afraid. Whenever there were creatures from Anshan who died in the catastrophe, he would ask his colleagues for the list and take care of it himself.

Because he knew that these were all relatives, friends and disciples under the command of the Mountain God, and they were all living beings who fearlessly sacrificed to support Anshan's ideals.

And the soul of that gentle woman, if Zhang Xiaohu hadn't offered her the choice of staying or not, she would have been reincarnated as a mortal in her lifetime. Then, the promise made in the bamboo forest in the green mountains amidst the wind and snow, would never be fulfilled and would be voided.

But Zhang Xiaohu knew that the mountain god needed to go through certain things and truly go through the trials of the seven emotions and six desires in the mortal world before he could achieve complete perfection.

Besides, he is a young immortal god full of humanity. Why should he abandon his emotions and nature and be afraid to face his inner self?

As long as they follow the normal process and complete the Yellow Spring Road, they should meet...

Perhaps, the immortals and gods in heaven in the future will also need to experience the baptism of the mundane world before they can truly understand the preciousness of the lives of all living beings.

Since the immortals and gods have been high and mighty for too long and look down upon all living beings and spirits as if they were ants, let them see with their own eyes and experience for themselves the sufferings of the mortal world, so as to sharpen their wandering spiritual hearts.

If one's virtue is not worthy of the position and one cannot see through things, then one will continue to sink in the world of mortals. There will always be capable people coming later to replace one's original position.

This is the "destiny" that Zhang Xiaohu vaguely glimpsed, and it is the direction of future evolution.

The matter of Yuanzun's reincarnation will also indirectly create this new way of life. I don't know how many big guys are watching, waiting for the outcome of this matter to see whether it is good or bad.

Zhang Xiaohu's mind was in a mess, but his body was getting more and more tired, and his soul was becoming weaker and weaker, like rootless water that would soon flow away.

He fell to the ground silently, sniffing the stench of the dark underworld, his mind gradually becoming distracted.

He was willing to die only when Yuan Zun entered the underworld because he needed to take care of the soul of the gentle woman and ensure that it would not be captured by other ghost officials in the underworld. After all, there were many shady things going on in the underworld, and even the confused souls fished out of the Wangchuan River would be sold as ghost slaves.

In addition to this, Zhang Xiaohu also wanted Li Yuan to see him as an old friend so that his thinking would be stimulated, so that he could forcibly break free from confusion and keep his mind clear, so as to solve the problem of hundreds of millions of residual souls.

Now that the matter of the residual soul is over, Li Yuan is about to complete his reincarnation in the underworld. He seems to have no motivation to continue holding on...

As he thought about it, Zhang Xiaohu felt his eyelids becoming heavier and heavier, his body becoming as stiff as a dead tree, and his soul was completely drained of its spiritual energy, and was about to turn into dust and dissipate.

However, at this moment, the dark sky of the underworld was changing with the wind and clouds, and there seemed to be the rumbling of bloody thunder, as if guiding the way to some existence.

The sound of breaking air came from far away and got closer. Before it reached this place, a warm big hand pulled Zhang Xiaohu up from the ground.

"Xiaohu, you are not allowed to sleep here."

Li Yuan's gentle and warm voice sounded softly, and the darkness in front of Zhang Xiaohu's eyes seemed to recede in an instant. His body began to regain vitality, and all the lost soul light returned.

As if immersed in gentle sunshine, Zhang Xiaohu could not help but open his eyes, and when he saw Li Yuan's smiling face, he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Your remaining soul is already exhausted. How can you waste your energy on me..."

Yue Wei was standing by, helping Li Yuan to lift Zhang Xiaohu up. Upon hearing this, she shook her head and smiled:

"The fate of billions of souls cannot be wrong, but don't the lives of my master, friends and deceased relatives have any value?"

"If you give your all foolishly, and are determined to die in obscurity, when your master recovers your past memories in the next life, he will investigate your demise. Once he knows the truth, you will feel guilty for the rest of your life, and you will never be able to let it go."

"You probably don't want to see that kind of situation, right?"

She did not use too many touching words, but instead put in front of Zhang Xiaohu what might happen next.

"Besides, you are too honest. As for the life-and-death incident, Master is now a Dao Zun Emperor. If you work for Yuan Zun, will this world destroy your life?"

"When Yuan Zun makes a move, he can reach the limit of the Three Realms and Six Paths."

Yue Wei took the initiative to transfer soul power to Zhang Xiaohu as a gesture of goodwill.

Although Zhang Xiaohu didn't know Yue Wei, seeing how caring she was, he knew that she must have a close relationship with the Mountain God and was one of his own.

Under Li Yuan's deliberately sullen gaze, Zhang Xiaohu smiled bitterly: "I just don't want to waste the power of the mountain god..."

"If this power is used for the benefit of the people and the safety of relatives and friends, it will not be wasted at all."

Li Yuan patted Zhang Xiaohu on the head with an unhappy look on his face.

If Meng Po hadn't been merciful enough to remind him, he would have waited until his reincarnation without knowing that Xiaohu had quietly perished in the underworld. Wouldn't that be all that was left with regrets after so many years?

Looking at Li Yuan's serious expression, Zhang Xiaohu sighed and said nothing more.

Li Yuan had already arrived in time to save him. The cause and effect had been borne by Yuan Zun alone. What else could he say? It would be hypocritical to refuse further.

"I don't want to be a ghost fairy anymore, Master Mountain God. I will apply to the higher-ups and then reincarnate with you."

"It's just that the past ends here. In the next life... Zhang Xiaohu doesn't need to appear again."

Zhang Xiaohu bowed silently to Li Yuan, only wishing for peace and happiness in this life. As for those supernatural matters, he hoped not to burden his next life with them.
