Chapter 934: Reborn

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Once Leng Yan died, there was no living creature in the cave apart from Li Yunmu. The corpse demon of Ancient God Ru Shou was standing in front of the coffin without moving, like a statue. Previously, although the corpse demon Ru Shou was in an abnormal state, it was dormant. However, due to Li Yunmu, who had used his divine power to wake Ru Shou, he had moved.

When the outsiders were exterminated, Ru Shou became dormant once more.

Li Yunmu glanced at him and slowly said, “Ancient God Ru Shou, I will take you home and bury you there.”

Ancient gods, regardless of which world they belonged to, they were almighters enjoying being worshiped by thousands. But Ancient God Ru Shou was sold by his master god with his cultivation sealed, then buried in a coffin while still alive. After dying, he was then turned into a god ruin in which the younger generation of Goumang Real World would contest to obtain his godhood.

Such a miserable fate could make anyone feel sorrowful.

Since Ru Shou was an ancient god of the Origin World who had suffered such a calamity, Li Yunmu wanted to let him die completely and become a proper corpse, which he would take with him to the Origin World and bury properly. As for the godhood, he would give it to Jue Qingzi to let him comprehend the laws of metal attribute grand dao. But he didn’t need to give him the complete godhood. Only one-fifth of it would be enough for Jue Qingzi to comprehend the grand dao.

Li Yunmu would bring back the rest of the godhood to carry out the changes in the world order. According to the system, the number of godhoods necessary for the reform wasn’t small, so he had to save and collect whatever he could. After all, there were few godhoods to be found.

After deciding that, Li Yunmu went to Ancient God Ru Shou and extended his hand toward the godhood concealed in his chest. At that moment, Ru Shou, who was originally standing like a statue, opened his black eyes and locked them on Li Yunmu. He extended his hand to grab Li Yunmu’s wrist, and the two black dragons on his shoulders snarled, spitting out balls of black flames.

Upon seeing that, Li Yunmu wanted to pull his hand back, but an angry bellow echoed in his ears and his vision turned dark.

“I hate it! I hate it!”

A loud sound resonated in the darkness, as if it was coming from all directions without any source. The resentment accumulated within it resounded with Li Yunmu, and large waves appeared in his calm heart.

He immediately knew that the voice belonged to Ancient God Ru Shou. Although he had never seen Ancient God Ru Shou, he was sure of it.

After the darkness passed, a scene appeared before his eyes. It showed a desolate land with a light sparkling in the sky. From time to time, gods emitting divine light appeared, and their bellows echoed throughout the world.

A figure dropped from the sky then. It had two black dragons on his shoulders. Their heads extended toward the sky and spat out large balls of black flame, which ignited the cracks in the sky.

Ancient God Ru Shou looked above as he loudly shouted out, “Xuan Ming, you betrayed me!”

A spur filled back appeared in the sky, before disappearing again.

Ancient God Ru Shou fell on the ground, creating a deep hole. After a moment, when he tried to come out of the deep hole, a large hand appeared in the space before his eyes. It grabbed him and pulled him into a crack in space. He was unable to resist it in the slightest.

“So it was you!”

When he said those words, the scene suddenly changed. A youth clad in black emperor-like clothes was standing in front of a coffin. A domain appeared around his body, and it was filled with countless dead spirits flying around.

The next instant, a smile appeared at the corner of the youth’s mouth, and he extended his hand into the coffin and formed a four direction black imprint at the space between Ancient God Ru Shou’s eyebrows.

“You must hate me, and your heart should fill with resentment. You must hate me more and more, increasing your resentment to the highest levels. After your soul is destroyed, and you become a corpse demon, I will come again to take you out.”

After the youth said that, he flung his hand in the air, and threads of laws appeared. They twisted like a string, forming a spell formation.

For countless years after that, only the bellowing of Ancient God Ru Shou could be heard from the coffin as he constantly shouted one name.

“I hate it! I hate it! Hau Tu... Hau Tu...”

The scene disappeared, and Li Yunmu’s vision returned to normal. He saw the black pupils of Ancient God Ru Shou, who was holding his hand, locked onto him. The man’s mouth kept opening and closing as he repeated, “I hate... hate...”

Li Yunmu frowned slightly. The hint of resentment left in Ancient God Ru Shou’s physical body was still vivid in his mind. As it increased through the years, a part of his memories were also branded upon it.

From those scattered memories, Li Yunmu learned that the person because of whom Ancient God Ru Shou was sealed alive in the coffin until his soul dissipated and he became a corpse demon was a friend.

He was the father of yin son of heaven, the quasi sage Yin Emperor.

It was unknown whether Pangu and Yin Emperor were allied or whether the ancient god was used to exchange for some kind of benefit. After all, the memories branded in the resentment of Ancient God Ru Shou were scattered, and the real appearance of the owner of the large hand did not appear in his memories.

During the battle of gods, Xuan Ming had betrayed Ru Shou, like Ru Shou said just then. The two of them were allies at first, but during the crucial moment, Xuan Ming, who was a subordinate of Pangu, turned traitor.

But while inside the coffin, Ru Shou thought about another name, Hau Tu.

He didn’t think of Pangu, but rather Hau Tu.

Perhaps at that time, Pangu and Yin Emperor were not allied, but the god named Hau Tu was an ally of Yin Emperor.

Li Yunmu frowned slightly. Just how many of the gods at that time were in cahoots with beyond heavens and injured their fellow comrades of the Origin World?: After looking at the memories of Ancient God Ru Shou, he felt that he needed to be more vigilant.

“When so many ancient gods had collaborated with beyond the heavens, it’s no wonder that True God was unable to discover it at the time.”

After saying that, Li Yunmu raised his hand to form a punch which was covered with divine power as it advanced to hit Ru Shou.

Bang.

Just when the punch hit the chest of Ancient God Ru Shou, another hand grabbed Li Yunmu’s wrist. He raised his head and saw that two dots of light had appeared in Ancient God Ru Shou’s black eyes. They shone with a hint of intelligence, and a faint vitality appeared in Ru Shou’s body, but it was so weak that it could be blown away by a gust of wind.

[Eh, a new soul was born in Ru Shou. Strange, a new soul shouldn’t be born after one turns into a corpse demon,] the system said in Li Yunmu’s brain. Once he heard it, he also found it quite unusual.

“What is the meaning of this? Is Ancient God Ru Shou resurrecting??”

[Rather than resurrecting, it would be better to say he is being reborn. The new soul which is born right now doesn’t have much relation with Ancient God Ru Shou. But because he had already transformed into a corpse demon, perhaps this soul will have some of its former memories,] the system said with some excitement in its voice.

[Since this Ru Shou is being reborn, don’t let this soul be destroyed. Take his godhood and let him join you in reforming the world. Perhaps you will gain some unexpected benefits.]

When Li Yunmu heard that, he nodded his head and looked at Ru Shou holding his hands.
