Chapter 983: Chapter 856: Heart of Sincerity

How could someone be so ruthless?

Willing to abandon bloodlines in the human world, just to cut off my Douyi and the pathways of nobles in the world?

Within the Netherworld Palace, the two high and mighty Emperor Ghosts displayed expressions of disbelief.

They simply couldn’t comprehend this aspect; they were no longer living beings, and the knowledge held in their minds had been interrupted upon death.

Unlike the pond god, which was quite different; the pond god, with the constant burial of new dead in the pond, could iterate and update thoughts and ideas, understanding worldly truths, while they clung to the independence of their Divine Soul, limited to what was known before death.

Even though Purple Qi enabled them to think like living beings, their thinking remained cold and rigid, fundamentally unable to understand new principles.

Thus, they never expected this descendant of a petty official to make such a despairing choice today.

The crucial point is, this choice leaves everything void, so what is he aiming for?

As the founding ancestors of Douyi, as emperors who created a dynasty, their ambitions and desires to sweep across the land had never known fear during life.

But now, for the first time, they felt afraid.

If one understands what the other seeks, they won’t fear seeing the other act fiercely.

It is only when one cannot grasp what the other is pursuing, yet sees their resolute determination, that fear arises.

And in the midst of this endless terror, they listened intently, yet couldn’t hear any knocking at the doors of the Netherworld Palace anymore; previously, they sensed intermittently people from the human world worshipping the Netherworld Palace.

The other was cautious, though worshipping, doing so secretly, appearing and disappearing, preventing the Netherworld Palace from locating the human world. Now, just when the other finally made up his mind, came to knock on the door, the chance awaited over twenty years was ruined by this person?

"Outrageous! Kill him!"

The First Hall Emperor Ghost and Second Hall Emperor Ghost both displayed crazy expressions, disregarding imperial dignity and respect, angrily shouting.

Flags unfurled before them, countless civil and military officials surged forth like a tide.

The Emperor is not seen, hence a dynasty can have only one emperor at a time, not appearing simultaneously, not acting simultaneously, but at this moment they could no longer care.

No longer as emperors, but as a group of Evil Ghosts unable to find the human world, desperately pressing towards Hu Ma.

Only by devouring this person could there be a chance to hear the human world’s knocking again, to follow back to the human world, letting Douyi’s reputation weigh down on this land once more.

"Haha, are you afraid?"

At this moment, Hu Ma saw the breakdown and loss of composure on the faces of these two hall Emperor Ghosts, feeling an unprecedented sense of comfort.

He laughed heartily, utterly unrestrained: "Who doesn’t want to live if they can?"

"Practicing Shousui techniques a lifetime, yet still retaining a Yuan Yang Body, do you think I don’t desire women?"

"But there’s no choice, how could one shirk necessary duties? Compared to personal desires, I’d rather see the human world prosper, witness your utter despair as mere clay chickens and pottery dogs!"

"..."

In the midst of laughter, faces flickered in his mind.

Before, he was a bridge, half in the human world, half in the Netherworld Palace, borrowing the human world disaster to extinguish the Eight Palace Emperor Ghosts, naturally witnessing everything within this disaster.

He recalled Burning Blade seeking to bring disaster to the human world, not hesitating to use a false fate to bear the Blood Pond.

Fate was false, but spirit was real.

He saw Laozao Wine incite wrath among the masses, teaching the people to hate.

He saw Double Steamed Wine open the eyes of the world’s people, revealing the deceptive hands at play.

He saw Floral Carving Wine and Miss White Wine join forces to slay gods, emboldening the people of the world...

He saw countless Reincarnators in the Northern Land defy Shousui Shangqiao by abandoning future paths, saw the individual outside Hundred Play Town challenge armies alone.

He saw countless vibrant faces, proud, mischievous, or modest and patient, but regardless of personality, regardless of connection to this human world, they all brought transcendence, joining this great disaster.

He even saw the Southern Border’s Ten-Mountain Range, despite sweet potato’s normally unreliable nature...

...Damn, what is this person actually doing?

...Never mind, having one or two unreliable ones isn’t important.

Besides, she did indeed instill real fear among those chaebols, didn’t she?

"Originally hoped to seize a lifeline in the end, but ultimately fell short, so..."

Feeling at peace for a moment: "What can be done, is only not letting your arrogance, not letting this calamity you stirred, be ruined by small-minded people!"

Hu Ma had one thought left in his heart, thus as he carried out this determined act, he felt remarkably calm, facing the impending and overwhelming killing intent, he let out a deep breath.

Standing firm in the Netherworld Palace, borrowing the countless emperor ghosts and Purple Qi just devoured, his body began to swell, towering instantly, reaching the height of the two Emperor Ghosts, blocking the Netherworld Palace.

At the same time, in his human form on Da’ai Mountain, he completely lost all signs of life.

The rolling Purple Qi steaming around him dispersed in all directions, turning into clouds, infusing into every corner of the human world.

This was the Purple Qi from the Eight Palace he reclaimed for the human world.

It was also the last thing he did for the human world, the final gift left behind.

...

...

"How could it be like this?"

Simultaneously, as Hu Ma severed the bridge of his body and stood firm against the Netherworld Palace, in that instant, many were unknowingly alarmed.
