Chapter 1146: Chapter 1145: Porter Burch Will Die

"Pfft—" Emmanuel Acme couldn’t help but burst into laughter. What kind of Heavenly Book was this? The time of death now said "To Be Determined," and life or death hinged on a single thought.

Could this be no joke? Could the Heavenly Book really not calculate when the odd old Yin Yang would die?

The other Daoist lords couldn’t help laughing either, while the face of the old Yin Yang kept changing, showing extreme worry. From eternal life now it had changed to "To Be Determined." Life and death hanging on a thought meant he could die at any moment.

"Could the Heavenly Book be wrong? Could the Heavenly Book be wrong? Could the Heavenly Book be wrong?" the odd Yin Yang asked the scoffing Daoist lords seriously, "Do you think the Heavenly Book could be wrong?" As he questioned them, the Daoist lords who had been laughing gradually fell silent, and their expressions turned ugly.

Indeed, could the Heavenly Book be wrong? How could it possibly be wrong? This is the Heavenly Book we’re talking about! From the dawn of the universe, when the heavens were formed, the Heavenly Book has existed—it was created by the Heavenly Dao, not some program concocted on a computer by someone!

"Let’s have a look at mine then," Emmanuel Acme said, feeling she had been a bit too much before, and took the initiative to check her own.

The Heavenly Book’s screen relit, and Emmanuel Acme’s name appeared. The Reincarnation Great Emperor tapped the screen, and the events of Emmanuel Acme’s life began to stream out line by line.

Emmanuel Acme, also known as the Heartless Acme, Old Lady Meng, the Wicked Old Lady, Emmanuel Acme among others—she had many nicknames. She was the mastermind responsible for the reincarnation of souls, and all those undergoing reincarnation had to pass through her gate.

Her life spans were numerous, including several cycles of reincarnation, who she married during these cycles, who she had children with—all detailed therein.

At the very end, Emmanuel Acme’s time of death also appeared: To Be Determined, life and death hinging on a thought!

Emmanuel Acme’s body stiffened, and she nearly fell over. Hers was "To Be Determined" too, possibly alive, possibly dead!

"Let’s take a look at this Daoist lord’s," the Daoist lord of Reincarnation said grimly as he flipped to his own name and clicked it open.

Time of Death: To Be Determined, life and death hinging on a thought!

Daoist lord Black Yama: To Be Determined, life and death hinging on a thought.

Yin God, Yang God, Daoist lord of Fortune and Blessings, Daoist lord of Judgment, the Undying Daoist lord, etc. etc. etc., the death times of all nine Daoist lords were "To Be Determined," life and death hinging upon a thought!

After looking through this, the nine great Daoist lords no longer felt like joking. The Heavenly Book couldn’t possibly be wrong, absolutely not. So, for them to change from eternal life to "To Be Determined" now indicated that something had gone amiss. It wasn’t the Heavenly Book that had a problem, it was either The Nether World or their own lives that were in turmoil. Life or death could happen in the coming days or years, or before Ascension, etc. etc., with great uncertainty looming.

"Let’s see how Porter Burch fares?" the Yin and Yang person suddenly said.

"Yeah, let’s take a look at Porter Burch," the Daoist lords came to their senses. Today’s accident stemmed from Dream’s death; it was because of Dream’s death that they had come to consult the Heavenly Book, otherwise, none of this would have happened.

Porter Burch’s life was flipped through, and everyone waited patiently. Finally, after two hours, they reached the moment of his death.

"Porter Burch died in the year 3599 of the Nether Calendar, on the ninth day of the windy moon period, during the hour of Xin!"

"What?"

"What what?"

"The ninth day of the windy moon period? Isn’t that tomorrow? And the hour of Xin too, early morning tomorrow?" The nine great Daoist lords were in an uproar, Their death times were "To Be Determined," but Porter Burch’s was precisely timed.

This was serious, especially since it was supposed to happen tomorrow morning.

The Heavenly Book cannot be altered or wrong; if it says when you are to die, even trying to commit suicide to defy its rules is impossible!

For instance, if Porter Burch knew he was going to die tomorrow, and he decided to self-detonate right now to break the timing set by the Heavenly Book, something unforeseen would certainly happen at that moment, and that accident would delay until the hour of Xin the following morning.

This is the power of the Heavenly Book; no human can change it. When it decides your time of death, you must die. Even if you beg the Gods of Heavenly Realm, even the most powerful deity for help, they won’t be able to save you!

Because the Heavenly Book is the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao—who can defy this Heavenly Dao!

Of course, the Heavenly Dao now presented something quite intriguing, for how could it be like joking when death predictions come with a "to be determined" status? What in the world was happening with the Heavenly Book?

"Look, the killer is coming out." At that moment, Yin God suddenly exclaimed, and then several... showed up again.

Damn it, omitted again. Everyone was left with a figurative dark line across their forehead; what the hell was going on?

"We can’t wait any longer, no matter if there’s an issue with the Heavenly Book or a change in the Heavenly Dao. Let’s hurry and find Porter Burch!" Yin and Yang Deity took a deep breath and said.

"Why find him? To save him? Do you think we can defy the Heavenly Book?"

"Telling him is useless, too. By tomorrow, during the hour of Xin, he must die!"

"Let him sort out his affairs then. Rumorous has it he’s got a few mistresses in both the Immortal Realm and the Demon World; who knows what they’ll do once he’s gone!"

"Should we report this matter to the Gods of Heavenly Realm?" Emmanuel Acme looked at the Reincarnation Deity and asked.

Reincarnation Deity shook his head with a wry smile, "Why would the Gods of the Heavenly Realm care about our life or death? We are just... hmm... insignificant characters."

"Tell the Heavenly Realm there’s an issue with the Heavenly Book!" Emmanuel Acme urged.

"There’s no need; this is decided by the Heavenly Dao, and even if they know, it won’t help!"

"Is it the end of the Law era now, or is this particular end of the Law era something special?"

"Regardless, let’s go, go, go, find Porter Burch!" The Deities didn’t come up with any reason, but their purpose in finding Porter Burch was to see how he would die—whether he would be killed, die of grief after his son’s death, go mad with rage, or die from summoning a divine calamity!

So, they wanted to understand the meaning behind the ellipsis!

The nine great Deities flew out of the Palace of Heavenly Book, and then Yin and Yang old monster quickly contacted Porter Burch.

Unfortunately, although he sent the message, he did not receive any response from Porter Burch.

"Right, when I predicted his fortune before, I determined the time and place of his son’s death; he must have gone to that battlefield, located in the Ghostly Space’s plains. Let’s go, go, go." Yin and Yang old monster shouted and flew towards the portal leading to the Ghostly Space.

The Ghostly Space and the Reincarnation Space are two separate planes, and the only way they connect is through a Plane Teleportation Array—a super teleportation formation. Even for beings like them from the realms of Deity, the teleportation formation was the only method of travel.

The nine Deities moved with incredible speed and in no time arrived at a huge square shimmering with light, populated by many Nether cultivators coming and going.

"Deity..."

"My goodness, the nine great Deities!"

"Greetings to the Deity."

"Greetings to the Deity..."

Over ten thousand Nether cultivators, upon seeing the nine great Deities, immediately knelt down and greeted them fervently.

The Yin and Yang old monster and others ignored these people and landed on the teleportation formation, quickly placing in the Teleportation Spirit Stones!

With a buzzing and whooshing sound, the teleportation formation activated, and the next instant, the nine great Deities disappeared into thin air!

In the next second, the nine great Deities appeared at the Plane Teleportation Array in the Ghostly Space!

However, as soon as they appeared, they each let out an exclamation of surprise, because there was Porter Burch, Deity, floating in the air above the teleportation formation, coldly observing each person entering and leaving the formation!

"Porter Burch, what are you doing here?" the nine great Deities flew up and asked!
