Soul Dominator of the Devouring Star

Chapter 619 The "Man-Eating" of the Origin Continent, Fire Ancestor's Submission

The plot is heating up: Update! Come and check it out!

Origin Continent!

In the endless cycle of the three thousand primordial universes, the ultimate dream of all life is to break through the cycle and enter the Origin Continent.

Only in this way can we avoid the crisis of falling into ruin across three cycles of reincarnation.

Now, Qin Ming has crossed the cosmic sea to enter it.

Although at this moment he was only a wisp of soul will.

What came into view was a dark and desolate land, with a vast aura spreading and condensing into a few wisps of mist, making the world seem vast and indistinct.

"Such a vast world is indeed beyond the comparison of the three thousand primordial universes, even if all three thousand primordial universes were placed into it."

It's just a small corner of the land.

A wisp of Qin Ming's soul projection swept across the earth, condensing in the void into a phantom humanoid shape, taking on a human form.

This illusory figure itself has no power; even ordinary Void Gods cannot kill it.

However, it possesses extremely strong stealth capabilities.

This soul projection can be used to locate the underworld, guide its descent, and open a soul passage.

Upon entering the mainland, Qin Ming looked up at the sky.

The night sky over the continent of Origin is vast and deep, with countless stars shining brightly.

"There used to be a legend in my hometown that whenever someone died, a shooting star would fall. I never thought it would become a reality on this Origin Continent."

A thought flashed through Qin Ming's mind.

Life on the Origin Continent almost always becomes true gods upon reaching adulthood, and their microcosms hang in the sky, hidden in the deepest part of the night sky.

At this moment, every star he saw was a miniature universe!

From True God, Void True God, Eternal True God, Chaos Ruler to God King, all are like this, only some have a powerful aura and some have a weak one.

Thus, the stars of the Origin Continent came to shine brightly.

"The space is stable, the flow of time is extremely slow, and the fluctuations of the laws are exceptionally clear, it's just a pity..."

Qin Ming scanned his surroundings, and the profound mysteries of the nine supreme laws of the vast land were faintly visible in his eyes, with the law of chaos being particularly clear.

Compared to the former Jin Dynasty and the current Underworld, the laws here are much more powerful.

This makes it easier for powerful individuals to emerge on the Origin Continent.

If he were on the Origin Continent, breaking through to the Chaos Ruler or God King realm would be a hundred times easier.

Unfortunately, this place is really too oppressive.

In such a vast world, the sky is only a hundred trillion kilometers high, let alone his World Tree clone and the River of Oblivion clone.

Even the human form itself cannot function properly in such a place.

"It's a world as thin as a sheet of paper; the rules are really unreasonable."

If one day I were to gain control of the Source World, I would inevitably have to change this rule.

Qin Ming shook his head slightly; he had never felt so stifled, not even in the Three Thousand Primordial Universes.

While pondering, Qin Ming carefully looked around, his gaze piercing through the layers of spatial barriers to see into the far distance.

The land was vast and desolate, teeming with ferocious beasts.

In the jungle, there are ferocious beasts roaring like tigers, and deep in the earth there are strange beasts resembling giant earthworms, as well as birds of prey flying high in the night sky.

Even in remote places, there are hidden tribes.

"With so many countries embroiled in war and endless conflict, how could so many lives find refuge in remote, desolate places?"

Although this soul projection is extremely weak, it is essentially a God-King's avatar, and one that has mastered the Dao of the Soul's Origin.

Its observation distance is naturally extremely far.

A gentle breeze carried countless sounds to his ears.

"Alas, why has the world become like this?"

"They're all eating people!"

"They plunder and arrest everywhere. Even though we've hidden in this remote place, they still won't let us go."

"Even major cities like Blue Dream City and Wonderful Light City are in chaos."

"The entire Origin Continent is engulfed in war; there is no safe place at all. This great war was initiated by two ancient kingdoms..."

Qin Ming listened quietly to the sound.

The continent of origin was more chaotic than he had anticipated.

The two ancient kingdoms were eager to consolidate their power, and their methods were extremely simple and brutal: those who submit to me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish.

Whether it's a weak nation or a first-rate power like the Tianmu Kingdom, they all have no choice but to submit.

Those who refuse to submit will face the fate of being crushed by the army and slaughtered by the arrival of the god-king.

Even if they submit, they must hand over most of their resources and their strongest members will be conscripted.

Not to mention those small forces and ordinary lives that are already struggling to survive?

Chaos breeds evil.

The already fragile balance of the origin continent has been broken.

Qin Ming felt heavy-hearted. This projection of his soul swiftly traversed the wilderness, heading towards the entrance to the 'Dream Realm' deep within the Origin Continent.

Entering the Origin Continent through the Reincarnation Channel, one's location is random and can appear anywhere.

This is clearly not what Qin Ming wanted to see.

His goal in projecting his soul was to choose the place where he would descend into the underworld.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Qin Ming's gaze sharpened.

On a relatively flat wasteland, hundreds of eternal gods were busily working under the command of a chaotic ruler.

Instead, they are setting up a formation!

Based on Qin Ming's understanding of the Great Dao, he quickly recognized that this was not a simple attack or defense formation.

It is a perception array with an extremely large range!

"As expected, just as the God King Zongfu and the others said, these two ancient kingdoms have set up super-large perception arrays throughout the Origin Continent."

Under this formation, anyone who enters the Origin Continent through the Reincarnation Channel will be discovered.

"Those who traverse the cosmic ocean will be detected if their energy fluctuations are even slightly large."

Qin Ming understood.

This network was specifically set up to prevent the underworld from descending upon us!

"What a grand gesture!"

Qin Ming sighed inwardly.

How vast was the continent of origin?

The resources required to establish a massive, all-encompassing array in such a distant and vast area are unimaginable.

"Um?"

Qin Ming frowned slightly. Within his perception range, he saw a slave-hunting team composed of 12 Eternal True Gods.

An expert at the level of an Eternal True God is not worth mentioning to him.

But for ordinary tribes, they were utterly powerless to resist; the figures of those eternal true gods either turned into a sea of ​​blood or into black smoke.

Wherever they went, the lives of tribes were taken without any resistance.

It's like a series of large nets, catching fish.

The tribe's resistance was futile and was quickly crushed.

Cries, pleas, and snarling laughter mingled together.

The captured tribal warriors were bound by special chain artifacts and driven like livestock.

Qin Ming's projection watched this scene silently, his eyes as cold as ice, but a fire was burning in his heart.

"As expected, they all deserve to die!"

Under the deliberate control of the two ancient kingdoms, the overall structure of the Origin Continent was extremely primitive.

It is still the oldest tribal and city-state system.

The adults on the Origin Continent are true gods. They don't need to "eat" at all, so naturally they don't have anything like planting or herding.

Such a world should have had an extremely prosperous civilization, far surpassing the super civilizations of the primitive universe.

but.

On the continent of origin, there isn't even a network like a virtual universe; people truly rely on running to get around and shouting to get around.

They hid in the wilderness to avoid being targeted and captured as slaves by some powerful beings.

Even in the primitive universe where Qin Ming had not yet enacted laws to prohibit slavery, and even in the once most chaotic demon race that advocated the survival of the fittest.

None of them would be this "backward"!

Although the beings on the Origin Continent were stronger, their slave trade was incredibly prosperous.

The most tragic thing is...

In the primordial universe, slaves were captured primarily to be sold as bodyguards, laborers, warriors, and so on. Although it was a miserable existence, at least they had a way to survive.

Maybe one day I'll get lucky and break through to the cosmic level.

It can be found on the continent of origin.

The primary purpose of capturing slaves was for food!

Eat in the literal sense!

Those who cultivate their bloodline all enjoy eating people!

From the eternal true god to the god-king and the emperors of the two ancient kingdoms, all of them love to eat life forms that have souls and wisdom.

The mere ruler of the Heavenly Kun Kingdom can devour eight trillion lives in a single meal, including fifty million Void True Gods and over three thousand Eternal True Gods.

He called it a meal!

The King of Tiankun Kingdom is a 'cook'!

Because of his excellent cooking skills, even the emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, such as Emperor Yan, praised him highly.

what!

Could it be that the king of this food kingdom really uses ordinary ingredients?

How is that possible!

With the tacit approval and even secret assistance of the Emperor of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, the ruler of the Food Kingdom continued to expand his territory.

All for the sake of more 'food'!

This is so that it can better devour billions of lives and digest their power!

For the strong, the Origin Continent is paradise.

But for the weak, it is nothing short of hell!

Tempered amidst chaos and carnage?

Through experiments in the three thousand primordial universes, Qin Ming was already certain that this approach simply wouldn't work.

It's true that one can rise through bloodshed.

Between life and death lies both great terror and great opportunity.

However, the essence of cultivation is not for "battle". When one reaches the level of Eternal True God or Chaos Ruler, the role of life-and-death struggle is almost infinitely reduced.

To become strong, you need to understand the rules!

Comprehend the fundamental Tao!

The chaos on the Origin Continent was merely a result of the two ancient kingdoms vying for resources.

"To cleanse the world and rebuild order! We need to speed things up."

Qin Ming was filled with rage. This tragedy was largely his fault, or rather, it was because of him that the Origin Continent had fallen into complete chaos.

With his keen perception of spatial fluctuations and his memory of the information provided by the God-King Zongfu, Qin Ming's projection began to speed rapidly in a general direction.

All I saw along the way was devastation.

War raged, and slaughter was everywhere. The oppressive policies of the two ancient kingdoms completely ignited the long-suppressed contradictions.

This plunged the entire Origin Continent into an unprecedented period of darkness and chaos.

"We've arrived at the entrance to the Dream Realm!"

Ahead lay a dark canyon, so dark it swallowed all light and all senses; even a god-king could not fathom its interior.

The entrance to the dream realm is quite peculiar.

Unable to set up a stable array, the two ancient kingdoms dispatched many god-kings to use mobile arrays to cover the entrance.

Once you get here, the projection of the soul can no longer enter.

"With the World Tree's avatars spanning the heavens and earth, and aided by the waters of the River of Oblivion and the Soul Domain, it's enough to transform the surrounding hundreds of Chaos Continents into Netherworld territories!"

"This is the battlefield."

The projection of the soul gradually faded and disappeared into the world.

The reconnaissance networks set up by the two ancient kingdoms were meaningless to him. He had no intention of taking the reincarnation path or crossing the cosmic sea.

Instead, they descended directly through the soul portal, bringing with them all the powerful beings of the underworld!

. . . . . .

"Hmm? God-King Zongfu, Fire Ancestor?"

When Qin Ming focused most of his will on observing the Origin Continent, his true self in the Underworld was somewhat surprised.

It's not surprising that the God-King Zongfu has defected.

But this Fire Ancestor was somewhat unexpected even to him.

In the main hall of the imperial palace, Qin Ming sat upright, his aura as deep and unfathomable as the sea.

Below, the God King Zongfu stood respectfully, with a red-haired old man standing beside him, whose figure was solid, whose aura was as hot as fire, and whose face was ancient. This was none other than the Fire Ancestor!

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The God King Zongfu and the Fire Ancestor bowed to each other at the same time.

No need for formalities.

Qin Ming raised his hand, his gaze falling on the Fire Ancestor. He knew something about the Fire Ancestor, who was one of the few pure people in the Origin Continent.

His actions were something he greatly admired.

Strictly speaking, the God King Zongfu wasn't exactly a good person; he was only fighting against the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom for revenge.

"You want to join the underworld?"

Qin Ming said calmly.

"Exactly."

The Fire Ancestor stepped forward, his eyes burning with a desire for confirmation, "The Great Emperor created the Underworld and operated it with the 'Black Laws of Fengdu,' which is what I yearn for."

However, I have some doubts in my mind, and I hope the Great Emperor can enlighten me.

"Please feel free to speak."

"Your Majesty,"

Huo Zu bowed respectfully, then went straight to the point: "I have read the 'Black Laws of Fengdu,' which stipulates that a person's fate is sealed after death."

Reincarnation and punishment are determined by merit and sin, rewarding the good and punishing the evil, thus guiding all beings.

I admire that greatly.

However, there are some questions surrounding this.

"Will the karmic forces of this life necessarily affect the next life?"

If a person does good deeds and accumulates merit in this life, they should enjoy blessings in the next life.

Those who commit many evil deeds in this life deserve to suffer in the next.

However, in the next life, "he" will have lost all his memories, and his temperament may have changed, making him almost a completely different individual from his previous life.

Is it fair to judge one's fortune or misfortune in the next life based on one's actions in the previous life?

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming showed no displeasure, but rather a hint of approving smile: "What you're wondering about is the merit and sin system?"

The system of merit and sin is a supplement to his understanding of reincarnation, but it has not yet been truly implemented and is still in the research and demonstration stage.

"You shouldn't be asking me that."

Qin Ming smiled and spoke, having a favorable impression of the Fire Ancestor, and naturally didn't mind saying more.

"You should go to the Underworld Law Department! The laws of the underworld, including the 'Fengdu Black Laws' and the system of merit and sin, were not formulated by me."

Instead, it was drafted by the Underworld Law Department, jointly formulated by the seventy-two departments of the Underworld, and then repeatedly reviewed and tested on a small scale.

Only after everything is confirmed to be correct will it be truly rolled out.

All I did was incorporate it into the rules governing the underworld, into the three thousand primordial universes, and even into the future origin continent.

The Fire Ancestor remained silent; this answer was unexpected yet perfectly reasonable.

Laws.

How can it be summed up in a single sentence?

"The underworld has not been operating for long, and some of its laws are still controversial. As you said, after the underworld judges matters from the past life, should they affect the next life?"

If you have any ideas, you can go to the Underworld Law Office to raise them and discuss them with them.

If it makes sense, it can be corrected!

In each era, the Underworld holds a small-scale discussion on the laws; every million eras, a reform debate is conducted.

Qin Ming spoke.

"yes!"

The Fire Ancestor had found the answer in his heart.

"How are merits and sins judged? Killing or saving lives? The underworld only deals with what happens after death, but how are merits and sins from one's lifetime determined?"

"Merit and sin?"
