Chapter 532: The Ancestor of the Celestial Beings?

Shangguan Man's veins were bulging. The Asura Path before him was also somewhat mysterious and too strange. He could only continue to hide in the shadows and watch, as this was a grand event for the entire Underworld. The battle hall was packed with people, so he had to observe from the dark to avoid any unexpected incidents.

Meanwhile, at another arcade machine, an old man sat surrounded by a large crowd.

"The Slayer of All? This person is too overbearing!"The old man, with his white hair, looked exaggerated as he stared at the character. His eyes were wide, bulging like Guan Yu's, and he cried out, "Kill in life, kill in death, my name is Slayer of All, leaving no one unkilled! This person... is simply unbelievable!"

Why was the old man reacting so dramatically?His loud cry drew curious onlookers.Upon seeing the character, they immediately understood his excitement. While the character was brutally murderous, the true reason for their astonishment lay in his life's motto: "Kill in life, kill in death, leaving no one unkilled!" Didn't this hint at the Underworld?Killing even the dead?

Everyone seemed to feel that with each legendary figure's life motto, the story of every unparalleled existence was intricately woven, pointing to the same event of that era. As they complemented each other, the plot and truth continually advanced.

Could it be that in the distant mythical era, the enemies these terrifying beings encountered were...The Underworld?!Goosebumps rose on their skin; it was truly chilling. If true, it would reveal the shocking past of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. They, as descendants, had only developed within this short period over several centuries.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation had once undergone unimaginable, earth-shattering changes!This also led to a group of terrifying ancient gods being suppressed deep within the Underworld, in hell.

Nearby, at a discreet arcade machine, countless Celestials gathered.

"God of Abandonment? Such a person exists!?"Unlike others, they didn't cry out when selecting this character, nor did they specifically draw onlookers. Instead, Celestials gathered quietly to discuss amongst themselves, as his motto and name truly sparked extensive speculation.

To them, it was very strange.Was this person related to the ancient Celestials?Could he have been a hegemon of their Celestial lineage? Did he rule the vast ancient Celestial Realm, then abandon heaven to walk his own path? And then single-handedly attack the Underworld, entering the Six Paths of Reincarnation? Was he perhaps trying to erase his name from the Book of Life and Death?Did he wish to transcend all things and escape suffering within reincarnation?What exactly happened in the ancient mythical era, countless years ago, concerning the Ancient Celestial Path?

These several highly esteemed Celestials exchanged glances, their hearts filled with trepidation.They never imagined encountering such a terrifying revelation in the Underworld! If reported to Emperor Yun, who governed the Celestial Path, wouldn't it cause an earth-shattering commotion throughout the entire Celestial Path? Unfortunately, they were now dead and couldn't inform the living outside. In the future, they would also have to drink Meng Po's soup and forget everything.

"How truly hateful!!"The Celestials exchanged glances, gritting their teeth. "The Underworld lets us know our past and present lives, but we can't take that knowledge with us. It's the same now; we know of such ancient wonders and this awe-inspiring senior, yet we can't share it!"

They had already begun to revere this God of Abandonment as an idol, an ancient ancestor, worshipping him immensely. As Celestials who had lived a lifetime, they might be reborn into other paths of the Six Paths in the future, but they still retained the glory and strong sense of belonging of Celestials.

Considering the scope of the motto, the God of Abandonment must be the most powerful of all the strong individuals, perhaps even their leader! True to the Celestial lineage, even in ancient times, it was their Celestial Path that ruled the world.A subtle pride swelled within them; this was what it meant to be a Celestial.

Suddenly, a Celestial's expression shifted, as if something occurred to him, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Could such an ancient Celestial not be truly confined? Completely reduced to a mere puppet?""It's highly possible!"

They exchanged glances, a glimmer of hope in their eyes. They quickly had the surrounding Celestials encircle the arcade machine to prevent others from approaching. After a quick look around to confirm no one was paying attention, one Celestial eagerly pressed against the machine's glass screen, looking at the God of Abandonment inside. "Senior! You don't need to pretend anymore. No one outside is watching this spot. We are descendants of the Celestials... Do you need help?"

Inside, the God of Abandonment remained motionless, hands clasped behind his back, seemingly oblivious.

"How should we rescue you?""Please, say something!"They frantically tapped on the arcade machine's "glass screen."After various attempts and several trials, speaking all at once, they eventually had to give up.

"Damn it! This cruel torment... Unable even to communicate, suppressed for eternity! Perhaps this fate is the consequence of attempting to escape," a Celestial, filled with strong racial pride, grieved immensely.

They conferred in whispers, and after several debates, finally devised a rescue plan. "It seems our power is limited. We can only work hard, earn more coins, and play 'Lord God of Abandonment' to help him atone for his sins, dispel his karma, and allow him to be reborn into the mortal world. This is the only thing we, his descendants, can do—to help him escape this endless hell as soon as possible."

Play the God of Abandonment more?Meng Po, hiding in the shadows, widened her eyes, completely bewildered in that instant!What kind of fancy bait was this?She was utterly speechless. She had seen the internal structure before; behind that glass screen were strange components and various metal plates—a very peculiar construction whose principles she couldn't understand.

At this moment, the hall was abuzz with noise.This grand event at the battle hall had generated an enormous reaction!

From these suppressed ancient beings, a terrifying prehistoric mythical era seemed to vaguely emerge, and at this moment, their reverence for the Underworld's mystery grew even stronger.

A huge question arose in their minds:How terrifying must the Emperor who governed reincarnation be, to single-handedly suppress all these ancient mighty beings in hell, making them endure such suffering?

The height of such an existence was simply unimaginable!

Meanwhile, Meng Po no longer watched; out of sight, out of mind. She sat alone at the head of the Bridge of Helplessness, contemplating life. Although she knew His Majesty was unfathomable, how had he suddenly gained so much prestige without doing anything, simply by lying there?

Mao Tiao was also watching from the shadows.He was livestreaming, very satisfied, as this was exactly the kind of reaction he wanted.His livestream chat was also exploding.

"My stomach hurts from laughing! I can't take it anymore. These mighty beings, though impressive, are no match for our superior intellect!""Wuhahahahaha! Watching their bewildered faces fills me with a sense of accomplishment. I told you, this wave was worth it!""Especially the group of Celestials tapping on the glass, like they're visiting someone in jail—it's hilarious!"

Mao Tiao also felt the tide had turned. With the launch of this arcade exhibition today, the construction of Fengdu was practically guaranteed. Everyone would now be looking for ways to earn coins to play. The background promotion of the arcade games was very successful, and he was now well-practiced in livestreaming.

"Friends, if you're enjoying the show, send a rocket, give a 666!"He panned his camera across the entire arcade hall, which was bustling with activity, feeling a profound sense of accomplishment.

Just then, the eerie Meng Po slowly approached.

Mao Tiao started, then quickly bowed, fawning. "Madam Meng Po, are you satisfied? Have you come for chapter three thousand seven hundred and eighty-one of *Clumsy, Cute, and Ugly Wife: Your Majesty Yama, Please Be Respectful*? It'll be finished soon, and I'll send it to you right away."

"Very good, I'll wait for you to deliver it," Meng Po said with a slight, wrinkled smile that was quite chilling. Mao Tiao instantly got goosebumps but continued to bow with a forced smile.

However, Meng Po glanced at the bustling hall, still filled with excited exclamations, and whispered, "But I didn't come for a book. Your so-called arcade launch event is over. His Majesty has summoned you!"

*He* summoned him?Mao Tiao broke into a cold sweat. Staying in the Underworld these past few days, he was well aware of the mysterious being who governed the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Was he now going to meet the highest NPC in this entire online game?Why was he suddenly being summoned? Was it because of his reckless antics, making light of ancient Underworld history? Was he in trouble?

"I've gone too far; he's coming for me now!" Mao Tiao wiped his cold sweat and secretly typed a message: "Brothers in the livestream, send some gifts to give me courage. I'm going to livestream the highest and most mysterious legendary being. This might be my last broadcast."

He had prepared for the worst.

"Follow me," Meng Po said, bending her back slightly as she slowly walked towards the Hall of Reincarnation.
