The Growth of a God-Chapter 492 - 14: Houtian Ghost God: E Kui

In the Netherworld, the incarnations of the Goddess of Death are everywhere.

As the cherished daughter of the Creator, mastering the Power of Death from the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Power of Nothingness from the Netherworld, the Supreme Death God Yao Xin is mostly in a semi-hidden state.

However, even Yao Xin, who usually enjoys planting flowers and taking it easy,

had to arrange for one of her incarnations to rush to the scene as the twin petaled red spider lilies were about to bloom.

And the incarnation that arrived early at the blooming site of the red spider lilies is "Granny Wangchuan," who resides in the Netherworld.

Of course, "Granny Wangchuan" is a name outsiders call this incarnation; she would never acknowledge this name herself.

Although Yao Xin has lived for many years and can even be said to be one of the oldest beings in this world, her mindset remains youthful.

"Being able to attract the attention of the Father God, I want to see how special you really are."

Leisurely strolling in the sea of red spider lilies, "Granny Wangchuan’s" face gradually became youthful, and her hunched figure grew more upright.

By the time she reached the position of the twin petaled red spider lilies, the originally old "Granny Wangchuan" had already disappeared, replaced by Yao Xin, whose face was full of curiosity.

This is the true appearance of "Granny Wangchuan" and also the strongest incarnation of the Goddess of Death.

She carries almost all the Power of Nothingness in the Netherworld and is undoubtedly the supreme ruler of the Netherworld.

Compared to another incarnation that carries the Power of Death from the Mountain and Sea Realm, "Granny Wangchuan" has the entire world’s blessing in the Netherworld, a status comparable to Li Hao in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Most importantly, "Granny Wangchuan" not only possesses Yao Xin’s strong curiosity but also inherits the kindness from the Goddess of Oblivion.

"Eh? Do Ghost Gods also have a ’difficult birth’?"

Seeing the twin petaled flower in front of her, which was about to bloom but never did, Yao Xin did not hide the surprise and confusion on her face.

Generally speaking, those souls with strong obsessions would, after arriving here, have their obsessions and souls transformed into Mandala and Manjushaka.

When the red spider lilies bloom, the soul washed of its obsession would be reborn as a "Ghost God."

Such a situation, where the flower is clearly about to bloom but still has a strong obsession, is something even Yao Xin sees for the first time.

Perhaps it is because of the existence of such an obsession that the twin petaled flower failed to fully bloom.

"Even if you are an artificial soul, arriving in the Netherworld signifies letting go of your past life..."

Gently squatting in front of the twin petaled flower, Yao Xin lovingly caressed the bloom.

"I know you’re unwilling, and I know your anger."

"But you are finally dead, and you cannot move forward if you continue with the obsession."

Seemingly understanding Yao Xin’s words, the twin petaled flower swayed unwillingly, still refusing to let go of its past life.

"Reluctant to enter the cycle of reincarnation, are you also going to give up this chance now?"

The Wangchuan River can’t purify the resentment of the Nameless Soul, and the red spider lilies can’t eliminate the obsession of the Nameless Soul either.

For such souls, they can ultimately only be decomposed by the power of the Netherworld into the most basic Spiritual Essence, becoming nourishment for the growth of other souls.

This is the order established at the beginning of the Netherworld’s formation and is key to the operation and balance of both worlds.

Li Hao merely provided a starting point for lives to continually grow and transcend dimensions; it doesn’t mean he would unconditionally indulge the souls under his command.

Unwilling to reincarnate, they are to remain forever in the Netherworld, becoming Ghost Gods guarding the Netherworld.

This is the second choice Li Hao gives to souls with strong obsessions, aside from reincarnation.

Although this also eliminates the souls’ obsessions, it allows them to retain as much of their memories of the past life, letting them know where they came from.

The difference is, after reincarnating as Netherworld Ghost Gods, these souls would see their past life memories as if watching a movie related to themselves.

There’s no strong emotional involvement, nor is there any projection of past obsessions...

In the future, if given the chance, these Netherworld Ghost Gods might not mind making up for their past regrets.

However, they would definitely not act in a way that affects their current selves to make up for past regrets.

"Give up! This is your last chance!"

With a tone full of pity and sympathy, Yao Xin murmured lowly.

As the supreme ruler of the Netherworld, Yao Xin actually has the power and permission to change these rules.

But the question is, why would Yao Xin do so?

Ultimately, the Nameless Soul before her is not an Immortal and does not merit Yao Xin altering the rules personally set by the Father God.

Even "Granny Wangchuan" came here on her own partly because she was curious about what made the Nameless Soul significant to the Father God.

It seems now that the Nameless Soul indeed has its unique sides.

Such obsession and stubbornness may even surpass the remnants left by the Gods upon death.

Drip...

It seemed helpless, as if compromising...

After a brief silence, the twin petaled red spider lily finally stopped resisting.

Thus, a droplet of crimson dew, like blood, trickled down the petal, perfectly landing at the root of the twin petaled red spider lily.

Whirl... Whirl... Whirl...

A vortex of Spiritual Essence visible to the naked eye suddenly formed, and a terrifying energy storm rapidly spread from the center of the twin petaled red spider lily.

Standing at the eye of the storm, a once again upright Yao Xin smiled.

"That’s right! If you can’t resist the rules, then accept the kindness from the Father God!"

"You should know, your birth is blessed by the Father God!"

Before she finished speaking, the twin petaled red spider lily fully bloomed.

And upon this twin petaled red spider lily, a grotesque, malformed Ghost God gradually took shape.

It seemed to be the embodiment of all evil thoughts in the world, the representation of the ugliest sides of all creatures...

Though human-like, it was exceedingly ugly.

What’s most shocking, however, is that despite being a Ghost God, it seemed like the nemesis of all Evil Ghosts.

Innately possessed with the Divine Techniques of devouring souls and slaughtering Evil Ghosts.

Spiritual Essence from Wangchuan continuously flowed into this Ghost God’s body, propelling it to the status of a demigod in an instant.

"Such a strange naturally-born demigod, no wonder the Father God looks upon you differently."

With a soft laugh, Yao Xin did not stay any longer, her figure gradually disappearing in the blooming site of the red spider lilies.

Because she knew, the birth of this Ghost God no longer had any obstacles.

It will be the future’s most severe Judge in the Netherworld, the most terrifying Ghost God of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Especially for the Mountain and Sea Civilization that created it, this ugly and grotesque Ghost God will forever remember the sins of those mortals.

—With a grotesque form intimidating all creatures, and with thunderous measures judging the sins of cause and effect.

"E Kui, this is the name bestowed upon you by the Father God."
