Logically speaking, this sentence should be a bit sarcastic.

However, when Hou Tu said this to Emperor Fengdu, it was more like an ordinary chat between good friends or even bad friends.

Emperor Fengdu did not refute, but simply said calmly: "The final deduction result I obtained is...if we continue according to the original order, in less than a hundred years, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Mirror will be completely shattered...and you will disappear completely."

From the memories of Emperor Fengdu obtained by Muke, we can learn that Emperor Fengdu rarely used the Six Paths of Reincarnation Mirror.

Originally, Muke felt that Emperor Fengdu was a bit wasteful, but now it seems that she may not want to use it too much, causing the Six Paths of Reincarnation Mirror to break prematurely.

After all, as the lord of the underworld, Emperor Fengdu could not let the Six Paths of Reincarnation Mirror idle and prevent others from reincarnation. She could only start with herself and try to minimize its use.

But it's not enough if she doesn't use it. If she continues to reincarnate, not to mention the Six Paths of Reincarnation Mirror, even the back soil will not be able to be saved.

If the back soil cannot be preserved, the order of reincarnation will completely collapse.

Emperor Fengdu continued: "Instead of lingering and living according to the deduction results, why not...let me play a game of chess with him and take a gamble. If I can win, you may be able to come back."

Emperor Fengdu and Muke have one thing in common: they often talk about things that have not happened yet as if they have already happened.

Listening to Emperor Fengdu's vowing tone, she seemed not to be saying, "If I can win, you may be able to come back," but rather, "I will definitely win, and you will definitely come back."

Hou Tu did not ask Emperor Fengdu what would happen if he lost. She seemed to believe that the winner would be Emperor Fengdu in the end, not another person on the chessboard.

only……

Hou Tu's voice was very soft, like a sigh.

"But...if I come back...what should you do?"

Muke once saw a discussion - whether the boss of the underworld is Emperor Fengdu or Empress Houtu.

Some of the comments below talk about Empress Houtu, and some talk about Emperor Fengdu.

One of the comments with relatively high likes said that if Empress Houtu had not "retired", it would not have been the turn of Emperor Fengdu to ascend to the throne.

Is what this person said right? Is it Emperor Fengdu who is stronger or Empress Houtu? Muke doesn’t know.

However, abandoning those mythical legends, based on her understanding, before she returned to the sun, the real ruler of the underworld had always been Emperor Fengdu.

But just like Hou Tu said, when she comes back, what will Emperor Fengdu do?

It is said that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and the underworld may not be able to accommodate two leaders with the highest real power.

Of course, people like Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who just put on a name and try to make a fool of themselves don’t count.

Emperor Fengdu said without even thinking: "I will leave."

Muke raised her eyebrows, she was a little surprised by Emperor Fengdu's decision.

"Emperor Fengdu" is actually a title and a position, and this position is not lifelong, but changes every three thousand years.

Emperor Fengdu has been in office for more than three thousand years, which means that she should have retired long ago.

As for Emperor Fengdu's return to the sun, it was actually because she gave herself a rare long vacation after thousands of years of hard work. As a result, the vacation was not over yet, well... the underworld was gone?

To use an analogy, Empress Houtu was the founder of Difu Company, and Emperor Fengdu was the reigning chairman. The hard-working, year-round chairman finally took a vacation, and then the company went bankrupt inexplicably. Then, those

Above all, after the senior employees of the company lost their jobs, they came to the chairman, hoping that she could revive the company.

There seemed to be a little smile in Hou Tu's voice: "You... are... willing to do so."

It is true that Emperor Fengdu changes his position every three thousand years, but no one can force her to abide by this rule.

After all, the founder Houtu has taken an indefinite leave of absence. The real person with real power is Emperor Fengdu. No one can surpass her and make her step down.

Muke suddenly felt that the corners of his lips seemed to be raised.

This feeling of being out of control, is Emperor Fengdu laughing?

Sure enough, there was a smile in Emperor Fengdu's voice this time, and he even sounded a little gentle: "There is no other way, you have to be kind to yourself."

Hou Tu's voice sounded again: "So... you just... push me... to the top?"

"I don't want to either. Isn't it because we can't find a suitable successor?"

Continuing to take the company as an example, if the chairman retires and the successor is unqualified, it may indeed cause the entire company to lose money or even go bankrupt.

Therefore, a suitable successor is important.

It's just that Emperor Fengdu couldn't find a suitable junior, so he looked for a reliable senior to take over. It was really a bit of a rogue.

But...it's really like her approach.

At first, Muke felt that Emperor Fengdu and herself were two completely different people with nothing in common. But as she got to know them better, she discovered that they were highly similar and had extremely many commonalities.

If there is anyone in the world who understands Emperor Fengdu best, it should be her.

After all, you are always the one who knows yourself best.

"Then I will... look forward to... your... victory."

After saying this, Hou Tu's voice never sounded again.

Emperor Fengdu still did not move, maintaining his original posture, looking down at the damaged underworld.

Muke could sense Emperor Fengdu's emotions, but at this moment her emotions were complicated and obscure.

At first, Muke thought that the purpose of Emperor Fengdu's return to the sun was to have a moment of warmth in the human world. Later, with the fusion of memories, she discovered that Emperor Fengdu was actually playing chess with that man.

Use possible destruction to rebuild.

Now, she understood another purpose of Emperor Fengdu - to bring Empress Houtu back.

And these may not be the ultimate goals of Emperor Fengdu.

Muke didn't understand what Emperor Fengdu wanted to do, and she wasn't used to weighing the pros and cons from Emperor Fengdu's perspective.

"Are you satisfied with this result?"

Emperor Fengdu suddenly said another sentence to the air.

Is there anyone else around?

Muke wanted to look around, but Emperor Fengdu seemed to have no desire to look back.

There was no other voice to answer Emperor Fengdu's words.

So, who is Emperor Fengdu talking to?

Empress of the land?

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?

Or some other underworld power?

There's no way...you should tell her, right?

The broken underworld faded away little by little, and the small beam of light appeared again, and Muke found himself back in the confinement room.

Everything around her was very real, as if she had just had a dream and now she woke up from it.

——"It is said that those madmen are still shouting that they have seen the future."

Muke looked at the beam of light and murmured: "The future?"

If this ghost story can really see into the future, it means that one day in the future, Emperor Fengdu will use her body to go to the underworld to find Empress Houtu.

But, how to get to this underworld?

To die?

Then can she come back?

Putting aside his chaotic thoughts, Muke suddenly felt that the cold air in the confinement room was a bit heavy. He turned his head and saw a little ghost with one eye on his head, no eyebrows, no nose and no ears, shivering in the corner.

His mouth was constantly trembling, and his small fangs were moving like an intangible cultural heritage.
