Yin Tianzi

Chapter 683 Yin Tianzi

The old god had a distorted face and wanted to escape. Qin Mu shook the Book of Life and Death, and the old god stopped immediately, staring at the Book of Life and Death in Qin Mu's hand, not daring to move.

Qin Mu became even more certain that the Book of Life and Death was the nemesis of these ghosts.

"You said we were ghosts, and you were right."

The old god finally spoke, and laughed, "The origin of the Tianyin Realm is extremely long. Long before the creation of the world, after the birth of Youdu and Xuandu, the Tianyin Realm was born. When there were no so-called humans, it was the ancient gods who ruled the universe and formed the heaven of the ancient gods. The Tianyin Goddess was one of the ancient gods."

Qin Mu was shocked, but he said calmly, "So, Tianyin Niangniang is just like Tu Bo and Tian Gong, they are all gods born and raised by nature."

The old god shook his head and said, "The Goddess of Tianyin is far inferior to those two. The Tianyin Realm is the darkness under the feet of the God of Heaven, and it is incomparable. However, the Tianyin Realm also has an advantage, that is, it is neither under the jurisdiction of the God of Heaven nor under the jurisdiction of Tubo. The God of Heaven, Tubo, they cannot come here, this is a lawless world. In other words..."

Qin Mu said: "That is to say, the souls of the creatures living in the Tianyin Realm will never fall into the Netherworld, so they can be immortal. Am I right?"

The old god laughed loudly, but there was no joy from the heart in his laughter, as if he was just laughing for the sake of laughing. He shook his head and said, "Immortality? Hehe, that's a nice thought, but the Tianyin Realm is not as immortal as you think. Our souls are indeed immortal here, but it also leads to more and more souls after the physical bodies of the creatures in the Tianyin Realm die. If it is a god or demon, it is fine, as the physical body can still remain immortal, but other creatures die a lot."

Qin Mu asked curiously, "With more and more dead souls, won't this place become another ghost city?"

"I said before that the Tianyin Realm is not under the jurisdiction of Tubo. Tubo can't come here, so how can it become the Nether City?"

The old god shook his head and said, "This place will never become the Nether City, nor will it ever become the Mysterious City. No matter if it is Tu Bo or Tian Gong, this place is a blind spot for them, a place they cannot set foot in. However, there are too many souls accumulated in the Tianyin Realm, and the souls began to do evil. How can the dead see that others are living happily? So the battle between the souls and the living broke out."

Qin Mu was puzzled: "How can a soul fight a living person? A person with a soul in a physical body is incomparably more powerful than a pure soul. A dead ghost cannot possibly defeat a living person."

The old god smiled and said, "But the flesh will eventually decay, but the souls of the Heavenly Yin Realm are immortal. Even gods cannot completely destroy the souls of the Heavenly Yin Realm. Here, even if the souls are scattered, they will not completely perish. In this battle between humans and ghosts, too many souls were scattered, and those broken souls eventually formed black sand."

His eyes suddenly became extremely dark, like countless extremely tiny grains of black sand.

Obviously, he was not a living person, but a strange monster formed by black sand invading human skin.

“The black sand is our broken souls.”

The old god showed a strange smile: "Because we were broken into pieces, no one can see us clearly, and no one can touch us. You are one of the few exceptions who can touch and see us. After we got a physical body, we felt hungry, unbearable hunger, and madly wanted to eat. So, we started eating."

He did not talk about this history, but only said: "Soon, we ate all the living people in Tianyin Realm."

Qin Mu was horrified. Although the old god did not tell him this history, he could imagine how horrific this riot was!

"So what about Lady Tianyin?"

Qin Mu asked in a deep voice: "Why didn't Lady Tianyin stop you?"

The old god didn't answer, and continued: "We ate and ate, and later found that there were no living people in the Tianyin world. Then we started to eat ourselves, our flesh and blood, bones, our own divine treasures, and our own souls. In the end, only our skins were left. We had nothing to eat and were too hungry. Finally, we set our sights on the goddess Tianyin..."

Qin Mu shuddered several times. The old god said this as if it was natural. The devilish nature contained in it made him feel terrified.

The old god said, "But we are no match for the Goddess of the Sky-Darkness. Fortunately, we are many in number. But even with a large number of people, we cannot kill the Goddess of the Sky-Darkness. She beat us badly, but we are immortal. We are already souls that cannot be broken any further. She cannot kill us, and we cannot eat her. Until later, a stranger came. A person who can see us, hear us, touch us, and even hurt us just like you."

He chuckled and said, "The stranger joined forces with us, so we ate the Goddess of Tianyin. After eating the Goddess of Tianyin, there was nothing left to eat in the Tianyin Realm. We are still so hungry——"

He smacked his lips, as if recalling something delicious.

"Did you eat Lady Tianyin?"

Qin Mu shuddered, narrowed his eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Is this stranger the Dark Emperor of the Underworld?"

"You call him the Dark Emperor of the Underworld?"

The old god shook his head and said, "We don't call him that. We call him the Son of Heaven."

Qin Mu was slightly startled: "Emperor Yin? The Emperor of the Tianyin Realm?"

The old god nodded and said, "Although the goddess Tianyin is an ancient god born and raised in the Tianyin world, she cannot subdue us due to the limitations of the Great Dao, but Emperor Yin has magical spells that can subdue us. So we followed Emperor Yin and fought with him in the south and the north, experiencing one era after another. Later, he established the Hades. The Book of Life and Death in your hand is the treasure of Emperor Yin, so he can restrain us. Since you are one of us..."

"One of our own?"

Qin Mu chuckled and raised the Book of Life and Death to look at him.

The old god's face changed drastically, becoming distorted and terrifying. He let out an ear-piercing scream, and black smoke spewed out of his facial features, which quickly shriveled up.

Qin Mu sat on the throne, leaned sideways, supported his chin with one hand, and fell into deep thought.

"The Dark Emperor of the Underworld, the Dark Emperor, so the Dark Invasion is the black sand formed by the souls of the Heavenly Yin Realm. The monsters in the black sand are actually human skins, and inside the human skins are ghosts that have been shattered into powder."

"Emperor Yin connected the Tianyin Realm with Daxu and allowed the black sand of the Tianyin Realm to invade Daxu. These black sands and the monsters in them were very afraid of the divine light of the gods. Therefore, when the gods entered the darkness of Daxu, the darkness dared not approach."

"However, there is still something wrong, that is the face in the darkness. I once encountered a demon face resisting the invasion of darkness at the Goddess Pass, but was blocked by the divine weapon of the resurrected Goddess. Similar situations are everywhere in the Great Ruins. So where does the demon in the darkness come from?"

He looked at the corpses scattered all over the town. Although these ghosts could move as fast as lightning in the dark, they were not very powerful and were obviously not the demons in the dark.

What’s strange is that the demons in the darkness come with the darkness and go with the darkness. After dawn, their traces can no longer be found in the ruins.

The old man of God did not answer these questions for him.

Qin Mu sat on the throne. The old god should have a high status in the Tianyin Realm. He could explain the history of the Tianyin Realm clearly, which meant that he had participated in the war between Emperor Yin and Empress Tianyin.

And since then, he has never been broken up, so he can keep his memories from then on.

Now Qin Mu used the Book of Life and Death to illuminate his body. He was made up of countless soul particles, but his skin had its own name. When illuminated by the Book of Life and Death, these soul particles did not belong to this skin and would naturally be expelled.

It was equivalent to Qin Mu killing them once.

Even if the black sand of the soul returns to the skin, they will no longer be the same as before.

"The effect of the Book of Life and Death is indeed amazing. The Dark Emperor, um, the Dark Emperor Yin, must be a man of extraordinary talent to have refined such a treasure."

Just as he thought of this, a rustling sound was heard suddenly. Qin Mu's heart moved slightly. He looked up and saw that the Kaihuang god who attracted him here appeared again, standing on a long bridge and waving to him.

Qin Mu's heart moved slightly, and he thought carefully. Among those gods who had just wanted to eat him, this Kaihuang god was not among them.

"Could it be that he still has memories from his previous life? That's unlikely, right?"

Qin Mu quickly stood up and flew onto the long bridge in a few steps. Under the long bridge was a stretch of water with rippling waves, extending from the town and flying across the lake. The other end of the bridge disappeared into the vast gray.

The Kaihuang immortal saw him catching up, so he continued to move forward, and Qin Mu quickly caught up with him along the bridge.

After they left, black sand gathered in the town again, quickly drilling into the skins and facial features of the people on the ground. Soon all the gods and men stood up again, looking lifelike, walking around in the city, completely oblivious to what had just happened.

Qin Mu was still shocked by the length of the bridge. The bridge rose and fell, and did not break even in the darkness, but continued to extend on the lake.

The lake below cannot be called a lake, but should be called a sea, and it is also a dark color.

Qin Mu followed him for a long time, but still hadn't reached the end. He suddenly stopped and said calmly, "Senior, you have been leading me forward. What is the purpose? Why can't you speak clearly? The old god could speak just now, so you should be able to speak too, right?"

In the gloom, the Kaihuang immortal stopped, turned around, looked at him with empty eyes, and after a moment, he took off his upper body clothes.

Qin Mu was slightly startled, he walked forward and looked closely at his chest, only to see some strange patterns imprinted on the skin of this godly man.

These textures are composed of extremely fine and complex runes, forming words.

The word "closed".

The word "closed" is written all over his chest and back!

"The Creation Demonic Art is the work of Master Qiaofu."

Qin Mu was stunned, and suddenly burst into tears, revealing a hint of a smile: "Senior, it's ok, let's continue walking."

The Kaihuang immortal closed his clothes and continued walking forward.

The "closure" on his body is the mark left by the Creation Demon Art in the Dayu Demon Sutra. The Woodcutter Saint used the Creation Demon Art to seal his soul in the skin. Ghosts do not eat the skin, so he can retain his soul and memory.

However, his physical body could not be preserved and would be eaten by the ghosts.

The reason why Qin Mu shed tears was because of respect, emotion, and more importantly, gratitude.

This Kaihuang god knew that he would surely die if he entered the Tianyin Realm, but he still came in without hesitation to explore the truth of the darkness.
