Rise of Humanity

Chapter 1182: Heavenly King Ji Le

The Happiness Demonic Eaters in Reincarnation Burial Ground second Heavens grew frantic and swarmed nonstop toward the duo while they sprint away as fast as they could.

Hundun Yu was casting the Fusang branch and pushed back the incoming Happiness Demonic Eaters while Zhong Yue cast the power of his Innate Eight Trigrams Sacred Ground that was in his forehead into many skills, holding off the Happiness Demonic Eaters.

Although these Happiness Demonic Eaters pose no danger to their lives, they could still rob their happy memories away from them in just one single lick and leave them with only the sad and sorrow memories.

But the Happiness Demonic Eaters were far too many, Zhong Yue was left with no choice but to cast his Seven Paths Reincarnation again and clear out a huge wave of them in just seconds.

All of a sudden, the Happiness Demonic Eaters abruptly stopped charging forward. Instead, they encircled the duo in the center. Zhong Yue and Hundun Yu were shocked and they both also stopped moving.

A deep rumble could be heard coming toward them from afar. It took just a few moments for it to arrive at the scene. The Happiness Demonic Eaters separated from the center and opened up a path.

“The living beings are not allowed here. Dear guests, you have crossed the border!” A deep and hoarse voice said and caused the dimensions to tremble. Zhong Yue’s and Hundun Yu’s eardrums trembled heavily and their ears buzz in noises as they saw a huge lump of flesh carried by hundreds on Happiness Demonic Eaters on their backs.

It was a strange creature. The lower half of its body was layer and layer of fat flesh and on the top was a small and exquisite head.

“This is the Blissful Heavens of the Reincarnation Burial Ground, I am Heavenly King Ji Le who is in charge of this Heavens.”

Despite its small head, the creature’s voice was incredibly loud, “Living beings, you’ve entered my land, but I do not blame you. However, this is not where you should be. Leave at once!”Read more at L isnovel

Zhong Yue bowed, he asked politely, “Heavenly King Ji Le, we are here to enter the tenth Heavens. Please forgive us for accidentally entering your land and disturbing your time.”

“For the tenth Heavens?” Rays flashed in Heavenly King Ji Le’s tiny eyes, he laughed, “Impossible. Just turn back and leave. You won’t even get to the ninth Heavens, let alone the tenth. Even if you did, you’d die there as well. Listen to my advice, turn, and leave.”

Hundun Yu couldn’t help but have a favorable impression toward the easy-going Heavenly King Ji Le, he said, “May I ask, Heavenly King, what lies ahead?”

Heavenly King Ji Le sneered and answered, “Uncountable dangers. This Heavens of mine is called the Blissful Heavens and it is one of the safest places here in the Reincarnation Burial Ground. Ahead of you, the danger of the Heavens increases every layer. The third Heavens is known as the Soul-burying Heavens, it buries the souls of the gods and is packed with their evil phantoms. There are three Soul Demon Kings, Heavenly Soul Demon King, Earthly Soul Demon King, and Celestial Soul Demon King. They are extremely wicked in nature, best of the evildoers.”

“The fourth Heavens is known as the Spirit-burying Heavens. As its name, it’s where the spirits of the gods were buried. Evil spirits roam every corner of the Heavens. There are also three Spirit Demon Kings, the Heavenly Spirit demon King, Earthly Spirit Demon King, and Celestial Spirit Demon King. They are saint and powerful existences!”

“The fifth Heavens is the Great Scarlet Demon King Heavens, the Demon King Da Chi lives in it. It feeds on the evil spirit’s bad karmas, it is a damned being.”

“The sixth Heavens is the Serene Cave Demon King Heavens, the Demon King Dong You lives in it. It feeds on the dead’s greed, it is an avaricious demon king.”

“The seventh Heavens is the Wisdom Heavens, the Heavenly King Zhi Hui lives in it. It feeds on the dead’s wisdom, it is the most cunning one around here.”

“The eight Heavens is the Skill Heavens, the Heavenly King Shen Tong lives in it. It feeds on the dead’s skills, it is most proficient in skills”

“The ninth Heavens is the Monarch-burial Heavens, it is the second most dangerous place. The monarchs’ dead spirits are buried there. Countless monarchs’ shattered pieces of souls were gathered together and gave rise to the corpse monarchs. It is almost impossible to get through there.”

“Whereas the tenth Heaven is where Zang Di Deity King lives in. It is the most dangerous place of all. Not even the gods can reach there. It’s still early for you two to turn and leave now. If you don’t, one of the demon kings will eventually have you killed.”

Zhong Yue thanked him and replied politely, “We still intend to go forward. May we have Heavenly King Ji Le’s permission to get through your Heavens to the third Heavens?”

Heavenly King Ji Le hesitated and he said, “I’m fine with it. But if you die on your journey, don’t blame me for it.”

Zhong Yue and Hundun Yu were both surprised by how easy-going the Heavenly King was. They thanked him politely while rays flashed in Heavenly King Ji Le’s eyes as he continued saying, “But my Happiness Demonic Eaters are not very good command-listeners. If you go to the third Heavens yourself, my little pets might hurt you. They mean no harm, it’s just their nature that they are attracted to living beings. Follow me, I will bring you all to the third Heavens, the Soul-burying Heavens.”

Zhong Yue and Hundun Yu thanked again while the Happiness Demonic Eaters carried the humongous Heavenly King Ji Le and they traveled deeper into the Blissful Heavens at a great speed.

However, Zhong Yue and Hundun Yu were not slow either, they were able to keep up to Heavenly King Ji Le’s pace.

Hundun Yu was puzzled, he asked, “Heavenly King, why do you command these Happiness Demonic Eaters to devour the living beings’ memories?”

“This, you don’t know, yes?” Heavenly King Ji Le smiled as he said, “As one is born in this cosmos with nothing, he shall also leave with nothing. When the living beings were born, they were born with no memories. Thus, when they leave, these memories should also be eradicated. Our Reincarnation Burial Ground is the final station to every soul in this cosmos. Their souls have to be cleared from these memories before they can be reincarnated. These Happiness Demonic Eaters are here to help the dead souls to be reverted to their blank slate.”

He paused for a moment and continued, “Other than the Happiness Demonic Eaters that feeds on happiness, there are many other demon spirits that feeds on the other emotions, the skills, wisdom, and many others. When it is all done, all memories in the dead souls would be removed and they are reverted to the purest state.”

After hearing the explanation, Zhong Yue and Hundun Yu were enlightened.

Then, Zhong Yue asked, “Heavenly King, then where will all the dead souls end up in?”

Rays flashed in Heavenly King Ji Le’s eyes, he smiled and answered, “Back to nature, of course. They are already dead, their souls and spirits diminished. They will be reformed in the tenth Heavens of the Reincarnation Burial Ground and spread all across the cosmos as soul seeds. Then, new lives will be born as a new round of reincarnation starts.”

Hundun Yu praised, “So beings like us who doesn’t have past lives, actually have past lives.”

Heavenly King Ji Le was smiling nonstop.

However, Zhong Yue frowned softly. It was a nice story of the origin of souls portrayed by Heavenly King Ji Le, but often times, the more pretty something was described, the more cruel its real truth would be.

“Heavenly King, this place we are headed for, it’s not the third Heavens, is it?”

Zhong Yue suddenly stopped, a smiling expression climbed on his face as he said, “Your Blissful Heavens sure is marvelous and well hidden. It looked very much like the third Heavens, but it is clear as crystal before my eyes.”

Hundun Yu quickly stopped too. He looked to the front and saw the entrance to the third Heavens just in front of them. Not only that, but he could also see the outlines of the fourth and fifth Heavens after the third Heavens.

“It’s fake?”

Hundun Yu quickly cast out his Hundun Divine Eyes and the Chaos Qi filled his vision. However, it was still the same thing he saw, nothing has changed.

His Hundun Divine Eyes originate from the bloodline of the Hundun Clan. It could see through every disguise but it lacked the ability to determine the authenticity of the objects. Thus, Hundun Yu couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

“Senior Martial Brother Yu, you can’t see through it because he has let you see the happiness in you. You are thinking about the next few Heavens, that’s why you saw them. If you try to think of something else, then you’ll see that something instead.”

Zhong Yue sneered coldly as he said, “Try think of some other happy stuff, then look again.”

Hundun Yu thought of something else and sure enough, his vision changed into a peaceful and harmony unworldly land. The skies were clear with birds winging through the clouds, the grasses were verdant and the animals were casually strolling beside him.

“It’s really a fake!” Hundun Yu’s heart skipped a beat, he exclaimed in shock, “Then where are we now?”

“If you want to see the truth, use not your heart, not your soul, or you will only see the lies fed to you by Heavenly King Ji Le! Where we are? Of course we are now in Heavenly King Ji Le’s Blissful Heavens, his blissful land but our hell!”

A bright ray shot out of Zhong Yue’s Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils and struck to Heavens in front of them. The image of the Heavens faded away and revealed the true nature of this place!

Hundun Yu couldn’t help but shook in cold. What replaced his vision was a land that was a hundred times more eerie and horrifying than hell!

He saw an endless pack of Happiness Demonic Eaters, swarming around many strong and powerful shepherds. The shepherds were much smaller than Heavenly King Ji Le but still enormously huge in size. They grabbed the Happiness Demonic Eaters in their hands and squeezed out the happy memories from the beasts into their mouths like juices.

Other than that, there were also many cages on the floor. The cages imprisoned many gods that have entered the Blissful Heavens and captured by them.

These gods were hung in the cages, their skins removed from their bodies and their flesh bitten out of shape. Their actual appearances couldn’t even be distinguished anymore.

The shepherds were squeezing the happy memories out from the Happiness Demonic Eaters and forced the memories into the minds of the gods. This has hallucinated the gods with enormous happiness and smile happily on their bloody faces.

Then, the shepherds would grab on their heads and suck the happiness out from them. Which in the process, leaves the gods in boundless pain and sadness before a new round of happy memories were pumped into their minds again.

Hundun Yu’s scalps tingled. Suddenly, he vaguely recognized a familiar face among the gods and recalled him being one of the Imperial Emperors beside Feng Wuji. He too, was captured and hung in cages like the others.

Hundun Yu’s voice was quivering as he asked, “So this is the Blissful Heavens?”

“To Heavenly King, it is, isn’t?” Zhong Yue looked at Heavenly King Ji Le and sneered coldly, “Heavenly King, am I right?”

Heavenly King Ji Le laughed happily and his fleshes were thumping with his laughter. His tiny head looked down at the duo and said, “Welcome to my Blissful Heavens! In here, you are like bugs in my hands, what else more do you think you can do under my watch?”

Zhong Yue laughed loudly, his aura suddenly surged high and his seventh secret realm opened behind him. He said coldly, “Maybe, it is right for the dead souls to have their memories removed. But the birth of wicked fiends and the likes of you are never right! Demon King Ji Le, I am only asking to travel through your Heavens to reach to the next, I don’t care what you do in here. If you let us go now, I will let it go as well. But if you don’t, I will make sure I leave your kingdom in ruins!”
