Chapter 1145: Chapter 1144: There’s a Problem with the Heavenly Book

Porter Burch left not long after, the drained figure of yin and yang also slowly rose to his feet and turned to walk away.

Moments later, he arrived above the void to the due south of the Reincarnation Space, where there was a mountain shrouded in a cold mist, and atop the mountain a temple. This place was the first sacred site of the Reincarnation Space, the Palace of Heavenly Book, inside which, legend had it, resided the Book of Life and Death and the storied Heavenly Book.

Moreover, flying was forbidden at this palace, and anyone who wished to enter the Palace of Heavenly Book had to walk.

Indeed, there were stairs leading downward from the palace, each stair immense, totaling ninety-nine in all.

It may seem like there were only ninety-nine steps, but ordinary beings—even if they were Nether Emperors—couldn’t complete them. Rumor had it that each of the ninety-nine steps was imbued with Gravity, progressively heavier as one ascended.

Yin and Yang had just set foot at the base of the Palace of Heavenly Book’s staircase when a beam of light flew rapidly from afar, quickly transforming into a human figure.

This person was clad in a black robe, his face slightly darkened, and surprisingly there was a crescent moon-shaped scar on his forehead.

He was also one of the Supreme Emperors of The Nether World, surnamed Hei, named Hei Yan, and he also had a son whose name was Dream.

Dream and Porter Burch were two Divine Monarchs in The Nether World with the potential to become Yins and Yangs; rumor had it that Porter Burch embodied the Sun’s Fiery Flames, while Dream was chilling to the bone.

"What brings you here, old Yin and Yang?" Hei Yan called out solemnly; he had been summoned by the man of yin and yang.

"Wait, wait, let’s talk when everyone is here." As the man of yin and yang gazed into the distance, beams of light began flying towards them one after another. In total, seven figures arrived and landed next to Yin and Yang and Hei Yan.

Among these seven figures, there were surprisingly two women.

"What’s going on, old man of yin and yang?"

"Why have you summoned us all here?"

"Porter Burch, that god of slaughter, didn’t come?"

"What happened?"

These people were the ten Great Emperors of The Nether World, now gathered outside the Palace of Heavenly Book.

"Porter Burch’s son, Dream, has died!" the yin and yang figure stated coldly.

"Eh? Dream has died?"

"Haha, I bet Porter Burch is crying his eyes out in the privy!"

"Good riddance to one less plague!"

"It’s a pity though!"

"But how could Dream die? I remember that the Heavenly Book recorded him as immortal, didn’t it?"

"That is why I summoned you all here!" The yin and yang figure took a deep breath, "The Heavenly Book has changed. According to it, Dream was meant to be immortal. But now he’s dead. What does that suggest?"

"Does it mean that the Heavenly Book is inaccurate?"

"Impossible, the Heavenly Book is a thing born in harmony with the world during the Opening the Heavens and Earth; even the highest Gods of the Heavenly Realm have no authority to alter it. The Heavenly Book’s existence symbolizes the order of All Heavens and Myriad Realms; how could it possibly be inaccurate?"

"Well then, who among you can explain why Dream is dead?" Yin and Yang was ranked the lowest among the ten Great Emperors, but he was skilled at divining the heavens, his ability to predict the future was second to none in The Nether World.

Everyone fell silent at once. The death of Dream suggested that either the Heavenly Book was inaccurate or had been tampered with!

But how could the Heavenly Book possibly have been changed?

"Let’s head to the Palace of Heavenly Book and discover the truth!" After exchanging glances, the nine Great Emperors hastened their steps up the staircase, rushing upwards in hot pursuit.

The ten Great Emperors of The Nether World were respectively ’Reincarnation Path Emperor Goodman’, this man’s surname was Goodman, and it was said he had ties with the Goodman Family in the Heavenly Realm. This man was also the first of all the Great Emperors of The Nether World.

Then came ’Immortal Emperor Zhou Tianzi,’ ’Ruthless Emperor Meng Sang’u,’ ’Emperor Hei Yan,’ ’Emperor Porter Burch,’ ’Fortune Emperor,’ ’Judgment Emperor,’ ’Yin Emperor,’ ’Yang Emperor,’ and ’Yin and Yang Emperor.’

Ten people trailing one another, after about ten minutes, nearly reached the top simultaneously, and then charged into the Palace of Heavenly Book.

Upon entering the Palace of Heavenly Book, the interior was not a palace but a mysterious space shrouded in cold mist, and within that space stood a massive stele inscribed with the words "Heavenly Book."

"Enter!" All nine Great Emperors charged into the stele, and in a flash, they vanished!

Within the Stele of Heavenly Book, there also exist three other steles, each inscribed with a single character.

Heaven, Earth, Human.

These represent the steles of the Heavenly Realm, Earth Realm, and Human Realm, and each stele corresponds to a realm.

In fact, they were already inside the Heavenly Book; this space was within it.

The nine continued and entered the stele marked with "Heaven."

Inside the "Heaven" stele, there were two more steles, one inscribed with "Divine" and the other with "Nether."

No one dared to enter the stele inscribed with Divine, nor could anyone, including the Gods of Heavenly Realm, because it had never been opened.

However, the Nether stele recorded the lives and deaths of the people in the Nether World.

The nine Divine Monarchs entered, and then they saw a light screen flashing with rows of text, with one name after another shimmering on it.

"There, found it." Reincarnation Great Emperor was the quickest, being the first to find the name Porter Burch shimmering on the light screen, and when he swiftly pointed at it, other names vanished, leaving only the three characters for Porter Burch filling the entire light screen.

Then, a column of text began to emerge next.

The Divine Monarchs followed and read: Porter Burch, born in such and such year of the Nether calendar, intelligence emerged at three, Solidifying Pill at six to become a Nether cultivator, devoured three thousand Nether souls at twelve, broke through to the Child’s Body at thirteen, murdered so-and-so at fourteen, and so forth at fifteen...

The text was very long, and it didn’t appear all at once but in sections.

After becoming the Nether Emperor, he traveled through the realms of Immortal, Demon, Monster, and Buddha, became friends with so-and-so, killed so-and-so!

These were all meticulous records of Porter Burch’s life.

The Divine Monarchs waited patiently as they read; it seemed like Porter Burch had not done many good things in his life, details down to him skimping on his pawnshop tasks were recorded.

It took a full two hours for Porter Burch’s life story to appear in its entirety, followed by the introduction of his parents and relatives, ending with his birthdate and exact time of birth, and lastly the four characters for his death time!

Long ago, after the death time, "eternal life" were the two characters.

But when it finally appeared, it showed: Died in such and such year, month, time, and place of the Nether calendar. Cause of death: Murdered, murderer...

"Uh..."

"Uhhh..."

"What the hell is going on?"

"Damn!"

All nine Divine Monarchs were at a loss when they saw a bunch of ellipses where the murderer’s name should be, feeling an urge to vomit blood—were ellipses the name of the murderer?

"Could it be that the Heavenly Book also cannot calculate the murderer? Or perhaps the murderer is not recorded in the Heavenly Book?"

"How is that possible? In All Heavens and Myriad Realms, any living being with spiritual wisdom is recorded within the Heavenly Book."

"Then who can explain why the murderer’s name is blank?"

"The Heavenly Book made a mistake..." The Divine Monarchs exchanged looks of disbelief!

"Let’s not panic, I want to see if my own life record has mistakes," said the Yin and Yang Divine Monarch with a glint in his eye. "If there are mistakes, then it’s clear the Heavenly Book is indeed flawed. If not, we’ll need to ask the Upper Realm to handle this!"

"Right, right, let’s have a look at that old Yin and Yang’s record!" All the Divine Monarchs nodded in agreement. Though they too were curious about their own records, since the Yin and Yang Divine Monarch had brought it up, they’d check his first.

Quickly, the Yin and Yang Divine Monarch’s name was selected, and a life with even more misdeeds appeared, though the old Yin and Yang himself was unfazed.

Finally, after waiting another two hours, the four characters for the death time appeared. Previously, the old Yin and Yang’s death time was "eternal life," meaning he wouldn’t die.

However, when the old Yin and Yang Divine Monarch saw the words following the death time, he was baffled once again. The other Divine Monarchs had strange looks on their faces too.

"Pending, life and death in a thought!" Those were the five words.

It didn’t say eternal life nor did it confirm his death, only that it was "pending, life and death in a thought!"

What the hell was this situation? His death time was "pending"? Could this not be a joke?
