Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity
Chapter 917 - Chapter 917 587 Chapter Time Flies By in an Instant

Chapter 917: 587 Chapter: Time Flies By in an Instant Chapter 917: 587 Chapter: Time Flies By in an Instant Although after being Divinely Enthroned, one’s strength can be significantly enhanced, such enhancement should be limited.

One especially important point is the large connection to one’s original realm.

However, it is not a proportional relationship but an inverse one.

The stronger the original strength, the less obvious the enhancement; it might only increase by one or two realms, or perhaps not at all.

On the other hand, the weaker the original strength, the more obvious the enhancement. But no matter how much it is enhanced, there are limits; a low-rank cultivator remains a low-rank cultivator, it’s impossible for someone who was merely in the Blood Manipulation Realm in life to be directly promoted to Immortal King after being enthroned–that would be too abnormal.

If it were really possible, Jiang Hui would definitely have awarded himself a title first.

In some ways, this is actually a form of veiled fairness.

After all, if everyone’s enhancement were the same, it would be too exaggerated. If not, then those who had already reached the Immortal King Level in life, after being enthroned, could possibly ascend to the Sacrifice Path or even above it?

Since Jiang Hui could not place the word “Yama” under Old Man Tu’s name, he did not insist on it.

It’s worth mentioning that

following his first fruitless attempt, some choices actually appeared on the Dark Blank Stele.

Adjudicator of Virtue: One of the Judges of the Underworld, bestows rewards according to the magnitude and quantity of benevolent deeds performed in life.

Punisher of Evil: One of the Judges of the Underworld, all malicious ghosts who did evil in life are handled by him; lighter punishments for minor offenses, and severe punishments for grave crimes, and then sent by the demonic messengers to the Punishment Platform, plummeting into the Eighteen Levels of Hell.

Inspector: One of the Judges of the Underworld, investigates cases of injustice, ensuring that the benevolent receive their due rewards and the malevolent are punished as they deserve, vindicating the falsely accused.

Regulator of Underworld Law: One of the Judges of the Underworld, holding the Book of Life and Death in the left hand and the Soul Summoning Pen in the right, adds years to the benevolent and guides the malevolent to the netherworld.

There were four options in total, all were judge positions, which frankly gave Jiang Hui a sigh of relief; being a judge was better at least than being Ox-Head and Horse-Face or similar.

It’s not that Ox-Head and Horse-Face wouldn’t work, their duty is likely that of a chief hunter among the demonic messengers, primarily tasked with enticing souls and leading the way, something he doesn’t need right now.

Moreover, there’s also a bit of Jiang Hui’s personal desire involved; upon introspection, he still hopes to give Old Man Tu a higher position of authority.

“Then, let’s choose Adjudicator of Virtue!”

After scanning through all the choices in the blink of an eye, Jiang Hui made his final decision.

It was not a decision made on a whim, but rather, based on a comprehensive assessment of Old Man Tu’s character and previous behavior.

Old Man Tu could be considered a thoroughly good person, and his leading the addition of the Native Tribe into Liu Village played an absolutely vital role in the rapid development of the village within the vast Wilderness in a short time.

Moreover, over the many years since joining Liu Village, Old Man Tu neither contended for fame nor profit; being an Adjudicator of Virtue was truly what he deserved.

“Clang!”

As Jiang Hui’s thought was infused, streaks of golden light flashed across the Dark Blank Stele, and shortly after, several lines of golden ancient text became visible to the naked eye.

Name: Tu Shanhai

Title: Adjudicator of Virtue

Strength: Underworld Five Layers (Celestial God Realm strength, can continue to ascend)

As the inscriptions appeared on the blank stele, simultaneously, a dazzling crimson light burst forth from the stele and poured into the resting soul of Old Man Tu underneath the grave mound, like a bundle of light ropes.

In an instant,

Jiang Hui sensed that Old Man Tu’s already solid soul had been unprecedentedly fortified at that moment.

This enhancement was unimaginable.

If Old Man Tu’s previous soul strength was comparable to a lump of ordinary clay, now it was comparable to concrete; the gap between them was immeasurable.

Simultaneously,

as that inexplicable power surged in, Old Man Tu’s strength also visibly soared at an astonishingly rapid pace.

Cave Heaven

Inscriptions

…

…

Divine Flame

Celestial God

In just the blink of an eye, Old Man Tu’s strength had soared from the initial Blood Manipulation Realm to the level of Celestial God.

It would be hard to say that even a rocket would afford such incredible speed; it was too exaggerated, everything was completed in an instant.

At this realm, a single drop of blood could transform into rivers and lakes; with stars in hand and feet on the ground, one thought could render the Mortal World desolate and bring nations to ruin, he could already be considered a master.

At the same time, Old Man Tu, who was slumbering, also sensed something and crawled out from under the grave mound.

After so many years of accumulating strength, his soul had become extremely solid, no longer the faint transparent state it originally was, but rather corporeal and fleshly. To the naked eye, it was impossible to distinguish him from a living person now.

Feeling the rapid transformation and enhancement of his own soul, Old Man Tu was completely stunned, standing next to the grave mound with his mouth agape, staring in dumbfounded disbelief.

As the person involved, he was, of course, the most aware of the subtle changes within his soul.

It’s no exaggeration to say that at that moment, he felt as if his soul was filled with endless power, able to crush a star with the lift of his hand,

“What happened? How could my old man’s strength become so outrageous in an instant?”

Old Man Tu licked his somewhat dry lips, his heart shocked to the extreme. Was it possible that he had undergone a metamorphosis after just a nap?

However, before he had a chance to experience in detail what the changes entailed, a majestic and vast voice came through.

The voice was everywhere, pouring in from all directions, as thunderous as the ringing of a grand bell, like a fierce wind howling into Old Man Tu’s mind.
