Chapter 1234: Chapter 1233: Chen Qing’s Purpose?

How is it possible?

On the Path of Yin Yang, several Ghost Kings awoke one after another, but before the great battle on the Path of Yin Yang could commence, they were horrified to find that their original masters... seemed to have mostly perished?

The Path of Yin Yang has always been a point of contention for all major factions every Era, even the Human World hasn’t fought as fiercely as on the Path of Yin Yang.

There are several reasons for this.

First: The Human World represents the true strength of each faction, and if they fight hard against each other and suffer losses, it could genuinely affect the overall situation. Even with Elder Long’s restraint, they can’t start a fight, so the Path of Yin Yang becomes a good place for the real determination of winners and losers among the factions. Winning allows one to gain more resources and also lay more foundation for the next Era. Losing doesn’t result in complete destruction, making it a de facto proxy war.

Second: The Evil Spirits on the Path of Yin Yang need to be purged. Evil Spirits are born from the grievances of a vast number of creatures in the Human World, and their existence causes a great increase in Spiritual Energy. This is also the key for all major powers to revive Reincarnation. However, it shouldn’t be excessive; if it becomes too much, the Path of Yin Yang will be uncontrollable, and the growth of Evil Spirits will also become uncontrollable. Therefore every major battle serves as a cleansing of Evil Spirits.

King Xiang was able to succeed in his rebellion back in the day largely because he represented the unwillingness of many Evil Spirits, but he was quickly suppressed.

At this moment, several Ghost Kings gathered together in tacit understanding, each looking at the others with complex expressions.

Being a Ghost King is not an enviable task; living in a place filled with Resentful Spirits, even with Longevity, what does it amount to?

Given Longevity, but at the cost of living as a maggot in a pit, would you want it?

That’s pretty much the role of a Ghost King, typically rotating among the major factions, rarely sticking with it, but it must be said that even rotating like this indicates their status is actually not high.

Their job is to command countless Evil Spirits and force them to kill each other, doing the dirtiest jobs for the lowest pay.

Now, with those above them dead, they are at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Heaven’s Court is actually gone..." one of the Ghost Kings lamented: "Originally, after this term, I could spend some time in the Twenty-Eight Constellations, and now you’re telling me Heaven’s Court is gone?"

"What’s so special about being there?" King Chu Jiang sneered: "The Twenty-Eight Constellations are just another pig farm, and who knows when they might slaughter them. With the Heavenly Demon approaching, do you think going back to the Twenty-Eight Constellations now is a good thing?"

"But it’s better than staying in this ghostly place..." he looked at King Chu Jiang, "I heard you rebelled, why did you come back?"

"With Immortals fighting outside, where else could I go?" King Chu Jiang replied, puzzled.

Originally, he thought he would be a major player during his era, but those maniacs were growing faster than one could. Forget about the Siao Family’s two, but Chen Qing actually grew to such an extent. Initially, he said he would go look for him, and now he’s hiding here, not even sure if the other would come looking for trouble.

And then there’s Bai Feng, now hiding over there in the Buddha Kingdom, afraid to come over, previously clamoring to capture Bai Feng and kill his loved ones in front of him.

But now he’s afraid Old Liu from the Buddha Kingdom would sell him out, thinking to hide here instead.

But the Path of Yin Yang is not such a good place to hide.

"Your Demon Realm is gone too, that’s rare." King Chu Jiang said, suddenly mocking another group of people.

Their faces turned dark.

Oddly, these Ghost Kings also had Eastern faces.

The reason is simple; naturally, Western masters wouldn’t want to do the maggot-like work; these dirty jobs must be pushed onto those able yet willing to debase themselves, who could they possibly be? Of course, the Chinese players who defected over.

Back in the day, these Chinese players had high hopes for the Demon Realm, now every time they cycle through the Yin Yang Path of Reincarnation, they used to crow about belonging to the strongest faction, claiming how fine birds find their trees. What now?

At this moment, those Ghost Kings couldn’t open their mouths, they never imagined that such a large Demon Realm could be destroyed in such a short time?

Not one of the four great families survived?

"I always said, those Western guys were just temporarily rampant." King Chu Jiang sneered: "They occupied the strongest faction, yet for so many years were played round and round by Elder Long. If Elder Long didn’t restrain them, with Old Liu’s ability, he would have dealt with them long ago. Wasn’t I right now? Elder Long in Heaven was just taken down by Chen Qing, and the Demon Realm in the Lower Realm died at Old Liu’s hands."

They were speechless, they didn’t know the details, nor how high the price was to destroy the Demon Realm, they only knew Old Liu had indeed outmaneuvered the Western Three Great Families.

"With powers altered now and the overall situation changed, what are you prepared to do?" Some former Heaven’s Court Ghost Kings asked.

"I’ve already sided with the Siao Family this time; they partook in the destruction of the Demon Realm, and according to the contract will gain many things. His strength is the weakest, but his Destiny is the strongest, and he has the most vacancies, so I’m thinking to take a chance."

"But he’s a Native, you really want to be his dog? Not even considering if he’s willing."

"Who isn’t someone’s dog? At this point, still concerned about Natives or not, you’re all almost there."

Looking towards the few from Heaven’s, "What about you? Join us?"

A few hesitated, while others spoke up: "Why not side with Jiangnan?"

"There’s something wrong with Chen Qing..." King Chu Jiang suddenly said.

"What’s wrong with him?" they frowned.

"It’s not just because of past grievances that I’m badmouthing him. Back then, he wanted to destroy us for the sake of the real Human Race. Now suddenly shifting stance already seems odd, haven’t you felt he’s pushing too hard?"

"It’s like he knows he won’t lose, constantly fighting the strong with the weak and winning every time; doesn’t that feel... a bit too smooth?"

"Um..." All the Ghost Kings paused, in this light, it does seem a bit...

"Back then, Pu YunChuan united with Dao, is it possible some methods were left behind then, since Chen Qing already died, who knows what the resurrected one is about?"

"What does it matter then?" The Ghost King puzzled: "No matter what, as long as he can win, isn’t that enough?"

"What about winning in the end? What’s his true aim?" King Chu Jiang sneered: "Is it for you to enjoy a better life, or perhaps some other purpose? Haven’t you thought, it could be about an entirely different objective?"

"What purpose could it be? From his current performance, isn’t it quite clear? To change this world, if he can truly make this world better, we could actually accept it. Do you think we really want to live this maggot-like life?"

"That’s a good thought, what if... it isn’t?" King Chu Jiang suddenly said, hauntingly.

"Just what are you trying to say?"

"Back then, when I met Chen Qing for the first time, I had a very uneasy feeling; I always felt... this guy wasn’t here to change the world, so I maintain, he’s not the King of Qin."

"Then what’s he here to do?"

"Isn’t it possible... he’s here, to destroy the world?"

"What did you say?"
