Chapter 529 Contrary to choose a successor
Muke also heard what Li Wangshu said.
The turmoil turned into a farce.
No, to use "farce" to describe it is a bit too cruel to those who died.
They were all unfortunate victims of this deliberately planned, grand funeral.
They did nothing wrong and were deprived of the right to live just because of Jiang Jian's selfish desires.
Even after reading this letter, even if she understood that Jiang Jian had done a lot for her, Muke did not like Jiang Jian and would not forgive Jiang Jian because she was not qualified to say so.
She finally understood the reason why she still hated those powerful ghosts who were so loyal to her.
They have excessive strength but no relevant restraints. They are unscrupulous and kill innocent people indiscriminately.
Before the underworld collapsed, they were loyal dogs, riding horses for Emperor Fengdu. After the underworld collapsed, they were a group of mad dogs, doing all kinds of unscrupulous things under the slogan of loyalty and the early return of Emperor Fengdu.
She could have said selfishly before that she did not want Emperor Fengdu to return.
Because she also wants to live.
But after seeing the destructive power Jiang Jian caused, she couldn't say this anymore.
Because, maybe by following the wishes of these powerful ghosts, a lot of people can really be saved.
If she had compromised from the beginning, what happened today wouldn't have happened, right?
——"Emperor, I know you don't like to compromise, but I still want to say, just compromise this time, it will be good for everyone."
What Mei said is actually right.
Muke lowered his eyes slightly.
"I think exactly the opposite of you."
Emperor Fengdu's voice sounded, no longer as calm as before, but with a hint of undetectable sadness.
"I finally understand why I chose to retire in the 'Future Ghost Realm'. Because I am not a qualified leader. The twenty-four ghosts were all chosen by me, and what they did after I left the underworld
It's a violation of my trust.
If I don’t know people clearly, I am not worthy to be the master of the underworld.”
In the communication between Muke and Emperor Fengdu, Muke always talked more, while Emperor Fengdu was taciturn.
This time it was the other way around.
"My king... I believe that I have dedicated thousands of years to the underworld, suppressed several turmoils, and cultivated many strong men. Even without me, the underworld should be stable and prosperous. But what is the result? Not long after I left,
The underworld collapsed. Yes, I saw the 'future' in advance with the help of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Mirror. I knew that there was a possibility that the underworld would collapse after I left. However, before I left, I really did everything I needed to do.
If you let me do it again, there will be nothing left for me to perfect. Unless, I will never leave."
Emperor Fengdu spoke very slowly, even a little bit intermittently. After all, she was still not used to saying so many words at once.
"When Hou Tu transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, everyone including Hou Tu himself thought that the Six Paths of Reincarnation would never collapse, but this was not the case. Even if I stay, no matter how hard I work, the Six Paths of Reincarnation will inevitably collapse. No matter what I do,
No amount of effort can change this result. There is no eternity in this world."
When talking about Hou Tu, Emperor Fengdu's voice changed a little bit. To put it bluntly, it was a bit regretful and a bit more humane than before.
"So, Hou Tu told me from the beginning that I only need to stick to the underworld for three thousand years, but at that time I vowed that I can do it not only three thousand years, but also thirty thousand years. However, only one thousand years have passed.
Over the years, I have felt powerless. I suddenly understood that I am not omnipotent. Three thousand years is actually a long time..."
Emperor Fengdu seemed to sigh, but he didn't seem to.
"I endured the time set by Hou Tu as if I was angry, and then continued to persevere. As time went by, I felt more and more powerless. I was already old, and the underworld needed someone new and better than me.
Master, I started to focus on training my juniors, but... they disappointed me so much."
When talking about his descendants, Emperor Fengdu's voice was filled with gritted teeth.
"You already know about Gu Ci from Li Wangshu, but what she knows is only part of what Po Meng knows. In addition to being a judge, Gu Ci is also one of the successors I trained. I hope that he can replace me
position. However, I soon discovered his little thought.
He has good qualifications and is practical in his work, but the new owner of the underworld must not be an affectionate person, and he must not be someone who is desperate for his lover. Therefore, I have always hoped that he would give up those small loves... However, the fact makes me very disappointed.
.After learning that I wanted to leave the underworld, he gave up his status as a judge without hesitation and chose to return to the world."
What Emperor Fengdu wanted was completely different from what Gu Ci could give.
Of course it is not wrong to be affectionate, but as Emperor Fengdu said, the owner of the underworld cannot be affectionate.
He should not only hold one person in his heart, but thousands of "people". Otherwise, he is very likely to be as unqualified as Emperor Fengdu.
"In the end, I could only turn my attention to Ksitigarbha. I know that he has wanted the real power to manage the underworld for a long time. I told him that I would leave for a while, and during this period, I would ask him to help manage it for me.
He made an agreement on paper and used my chessboard as a guarantee. He agreed, and he said...if he betrays his oath, he can pay any price."
There was a mocking smile in Emperor Fengdu's voice.
"What I initially wanted was not Hou Tu's return, but my sincere hope that Ksitigarbha would keep his promise. However, Ksitigarbha broke his promise...and no 'person' can deceive me without paying the price."
Emperor Fengdu paused for about ten seconds before continuing.
"You haven't seen Ksitigarbha until now, or even got exact information about him. Even if his dog was bullied by you, Ksitigarbha didn't come forward. Because, he is gone. If you violate the rules of the chessboard, you will naturally have to
I turn into a chess piece and am at the mercy of others. There are only two endings. If I win, everything about Ksitigarbha belongs to me. I will use Ksitigarbha’s cultivation and merit to welcome back Empress Houtu, repair the Six Paths, and revive hell. If I lose, Ksitigarbha will
Zang regained his freedom and became a Buddha immediately."
Muke said: "At first glance, it seems that you have nothing to lose if you lose, but if Ksitigarbha really becomes a Buddha, then he will never let us go. I am a living person, and you have not fully recovered.
Once a fight breaks out, it's obvious what the result will be."
Emperor Fengdu's mood fluctuated greatly today, and he even said something rare, which was similar to a compliment.
"It's convenient to talk to yourself. I don't need to elaborate."
