It was hard for Lin Du to explain how he was feeling now, "It's okay if my senior brother comes, why are you here?"
Hou Cang's iceberg face that had never melted for thousands of years showed a rare crack, "What do you mean by that?"
"It means that for someone as powerful as my senior brother, I don't need to worry." Lin Du replied with a smile.
Hou Cang was speechless and turned around and said, "You think I want to come? They insisted on coming. If it weren't for the two Yang Lei Yang Huo who couldn't cover up, they could only take care of it from outside. I was the only one present who could It’s just a beating.”
Lin Du let out a long sigh and decided to maintain Hou Cang's face.
The judge came back to his senses at this moment, "No, I said, you are here to make trouble as a group? If you continue to fight, there will be Ghost Emperors of the Five Directions and Yama of the Ten Palaces above us. I'm warning you."
Several people looked at the judge with smiles at the same time, "Look at you, what you said."
It was obvious that except for the icy face, they were all bigger kids. In terms of age and cultivation, they should not be so young, but the judge couldn't be angry.
It was the group of people in front of me who recovered the hundreds of thousands of people who disappeared from the book of life and death out of thin air.
A large number of souls have been lost in a world. Even if someone is responsible for it, it is still the fault of the Underworld, and someone will always take the blame.
There are a lot of ghosts in the underworld who are unable to enter the reincarnation and are waiting to be fed by the public. He doesn't want to lose the position of judge that he has gained after thousands of years of practice.
That was a big deal. The judge once woke up in the middle of the night thinking about the tens of thousands of people who had disappeared. Even when the first wave of souls were sent back, he almost wanted to kowtow to the face of the person who sent these ghosts to the ground.
But it's best not to get in front of him. If a monk doesn't want to ascend to the underworld, it's really not a good thing to fall to the underworld.
Now the person is here, but the method is a bit wrong, and his life and death book is still to be seen.
Lin Du wants to see the book of life and death. He will be punished for keeping the book of life and death.
"I have an idea. The five of us will beat you up and then take away your life and death book. Then you won't be derelict in your duty. It's just that we are too strong. What do you think?"
Lin Du seemed to have noticed the judge's struggle. Of course she understood the pain of beating workers.
"It's a small injury, but it can also be more serious. It's up to you." Lin Du looked at the judge, "We respect the victim's wishes."
If Hou Cang hadn't come, she might have tried to influence the judge, but when Hou Cang came, she didn't mind a group fight.
The judge was stunned by this group of people who played their cards according to the routine without saying a word. Before he could react, the group of people had already pounced on him.
"Oh no!! You guys!!!"
"I grabbed it!!!" Ni Jinxuan excitedly pulled out a book and threw it to Lin Du.
Yan Qing and Yuan Ye each held down the judge. He seemed to be struggling fiercely, but in fact, he calmly stuck his joints under their hands, which was very easy to handle. There was also a long sword that was pulled out inexplicably.
How could the spirit sword be brought to this underworld! Aren't they ghosts separated from the body?
Hou Cang held the long sword and looked at the judge with lowered eyes, "Don't move."
Lin Du lowered his head and flipped through the book quickly. She moved very quickly. These artifacts of heaven and earth looked very thin and were all simulated, but in fact the number of pages was ridiculously large.
But at this moment, in the black hall, candles were brightly lit on both sides, and the golden pages of the book were flashing fast, comparable to the rushing of the river and the sea, not stopping for a moment, not only the judge, but also Yan, who had always been crushed by Lin Du. Qingdu felt that it was a little too outrageous.
"Can she see through it like this?" The judge almost forgot that he was being held hostage.
Yan Qing was numb, "I don't know about others, but what my junior uncle said is normal."
Lin Du was born with a fast reading speed, and after his spiritual consciousness had been enhanced to this point, it was even faster than what ordinary people could absorb.
"Don't tell me, this is faster than a fan." Yuan Ye lamented, "This afterimage is dazzling just looking at it."
But three hours later, Lin Du stopped, and then took out a chart, which showed the intensity changes of the power of rules. She made a new discovery.
I had never noticed this zigzag line when I was in the demon world before. It needs to be viewed in several nodes.
“There are a few nodes that are interesting.”
"The population of Dongming Realm has been in a relatively stable state since ancient times, and starting from 6,000 years ago, the number of blank pages began to increase."
Blank means that this soul cannot be recalled, and fell outside the rules of heaven, and was destroyed and devoured by things outside the control of heaven.
In the cave world, most of them were devoured by evil spirits. Six thousand years later, the number increased. It was not that the evil spirits were stronger, but that the fragments of fallen angels appeared.
"Six thousand years ago, it happened to be the time when the Fallen Angel fragment was first exposed to activity in Dongming."
"From around six thousand years as the dividing line, the power of the previous Heavenly Dao rules has been declining relatively steadily. Putting aside the upward curve caused by the monks who have devoted themselves to Heavenly Dao for thousands of years to supplement the Heavenly Dao rules, I can almost draw a straight line with a certain slope. Starting from six thousand years later, the twists and turns began to increase, and the decline of the heavenly path accelerated."
While Lin Du was talking and Yan Qing was writing down, the judge who was forcibly tied to the stool in an awkward manner also pricked up his ears.
"So the reason why the power of Heavenly Dao weakened in the beginning was because of the demonic energy..." Yan Qing's hand holding the pen paused and looked at Lin Du in the hall.
"The origin of demonic energy." Lin Du confirmed his conclusion.
"But starting six hundred years ago, this downward trend has become slower."
"Since the book of life and death began more than five hundred years ago, there have been many blank spaces that have disappeared continuously, and the number of living people has dropped sharply."
"I think it is for this reason that the rules of heaven have relieved the pressure."
"Then... Wen Fu..." Hou Cang was a little confused, "He couldn't have done something good, right?"
Lin Du shook his head, "No, it's not."
Hou Cang said oh, and he felt relieved.
Scum will always be scum.
Lin Du still lowered his eyes, holding the two booklets in his hand and slowly exerting force.
There are fewer people in the spiritual world than in the mortal world, and hundreds of thousands of people are naturally few. In the mortal world, nearly hundreds of thousands of people may die in a single war, but those who can still enter reincarnation.
As for Wen Fu's operations, the number of souls in the past six hundred years has been reduced. Even with Lin Du's rescue, the large gaps have not been filled, and most of the records are incomplete.
He was blinded and failed to see clearly that the real enemy was the fragment of the fallen angel and the rules of heaven in the outside world, leading him astray.
Lin Du held back his emotions, "If I don't save those souls, maybe he can indeed slow down the decline of Heavenly Dao."
"But we saved it."
"These returning souls will allow the Dongming Realm to accumulate a large number of monks in five hundred years. These will be reincarnated into vegetation and unintelligent beasts, and a large number of them will be reincarnated into Zhongzhou and the Monster Clan to become Spirituality.”
In the life and death books of these people, the scheduled practice time after reincarnation has become very long, which proves that spiritual energy can indeed not keep up with the supply.
Lin Du paused, "Unless the current situation is unstable in the past five hundred years, wars occur frequently, deaths intensify, and reincarnation is suspended after death, this is simply impossible. Let's put it aside for now."
"Maybe someone joins the Heavenly Dao to maintain the balance. Otherwise, within five hundred years, the Heavenly Dao will have a sharp decline in aura, exacerbating its decline, causing natural disasters. Resources will not be regenerated in time, and man-made disasters will also occur."
"It was me who took apart the chessboard and blocked his chess path." Lin Du looked a little regretful, "But those useless chess pieces ruined the game. Maybe I shouldn't have saved them."
"But it's not you who really did the wrong thing." The judge couldn't help but say, "What you did is the light of the righteous path. If the population increases, resources will be consumed and there will be no time to replenish them. If there are fewer people, the progress of your world will also slow down. , or even the overall reshuffle and collapse.”
"If you hadn't found the souls of these people, there is no guarantee that your Dongming Realm would not be noticed by the people in the Thirty-third Heaven. If you can't solve the problem and they take action, the Dongming Realm will really be nothing. All gone."
The gloom on Lin Du's face suddenly dissipated, and he raised his eyes to look at the judge. His eyes, which were gray since they were not simulated, were like snow falling on a cold mountain, blown away by the wind, revealing the clarity that had been accumulated into ice for a long time.
The judge was shocked to realize that he had been deceived by this child into softening his heart and saying too much.
Lin Du laughed and said, "Thank you, Lord Judge."
"Of course we can solve the matter in the Dongming Realm." Lin Du returned the book of life and death, "If the gods enter the Dongming Realm, we can naturally kill the gods."
The judge's heart tightened when he saw those eyes.
Long before Lin Du came, he had been speculating on what could make a big world silently lose so many souls.
Sure enough, the big problem in the Dongming Realm is because the Upper Realm was left behind. Lin Du came to grab the book of life and death today, which actually gave him a thorough understanding.
If he hinted at returning like this, it wouldn't be considered a leak.
Lin Du got the answer, but his heart became heavier.
The fundamental reason for the decline of heaven is the origin of demonic energy. Later, the fragments of the Fallen Angel appeared, aggravating the decline. Wenfu became the sharpest sword of the Fallen Angel.
It's like playing a game of chess with someone who has sharp and sharp moves at the beginning, but a shoddy game at the back. When you get closer, you find that the opponent has changed, and the sloppy moves played by the previous operator have become thorns. To her sharp knife.
Her opponent is not Wen Fu, not the Demon Lord, but the Fallen Angel.
A seemingly soulless "dead thing" that can always hide behind living people.
Even though the fragments were fed to Han Yueling and Tiandao by Lin Du, the influence of this thing continued.
Her time is really running out.
"If you leave, your lifespan will be shortened." The judge looked at Lin Du's figure preparing to leave, "Just do as you say?"
Hou Cang looked coldly and glanced at Lin Du, "What else? Lin Du still has a life span that can be deducted? If I deduct it, will you become obsessed now?"
The judge held the book of life and death, "Look, it's not me who said that, I'm only responsible for keeping the account book."
"It's all in my account. I live a long life and I'm too lazy to share it with the children. It's not short of a hundred years."
After Hou Cang finished speaking, he turned and left.
When the judge saw them leaving, he tore himself to pieces and became even more embarrassed. He held the Book of Life and Death for half an hour before running towards the main hall.
"Sir!!! What happened!!"
