Chapter 31 You want to drink my foot bath water? You think you're worthy?
"Sentenced! Cast into the mortal realm, to be reincarnated for eternity—"
He then ordered Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to escort him into the Six Paths of Reincarnation!
With this verdict,
Before the celestial canopy lay the people of the two war-torn empires.
There were also the Sea Soul Masters and Sea Soul Beasts he had harmed.
Everyone was stunned!
To be reborn as a mortal? What kind of punishment is that?
At the very least, they should have gone through the ordeal of climbing mountains of knives and plunging into boiling oil!
Is it simply because he was once a god?
Does that mean one can bend the law for personal gain?
Upon seeing this, the gods of the divine realm all smiled.
The God of Destruction said proudly:
"How can we be equated with ordinary people? Let us enter the mountains of knives and the seas of fire, the eighteen levels of hell!"
The Asura God nodded:
"That's right. Although there is indeed a gap in strength between the two worlds, we and that King Yama are ultimately all rulers who govern one side."
"The methods of punishment should naturally differ!"
They all thought that
Yama is giving face to the "gods" who are also rulers, but he has no idea how dangerous it is!
Demoted to mere mortals?
With their knowledge and skills, they will be able to rebuild it in no time.
Poseidon, upon hearing this, also revealed a slight smile.
He didn't care at all.
I was just a fisherman back then, and I was able to cultivate into a god. So what difficulty would it be if I were to go to the prehistoric world?
Only Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo,
She silently cast a pitying glance at him!
They knew it very well.
This so-called "ultimate punishment" is far more complex than it appears on the surface!
...
Poseidon was brought to the Well of Reincarnation and looked down.
The water in the well shimmered.
A silhouette of his next life emerges.
Born into a noble family, your mother died in childbirth, and you are considered an omen of bad luck...
At the full moon, the Marquis's mansion suffered a great calamity, and the family fortunes declined...
At the age of one, the Marquis's mansion was raided and the entire family was wiped out. He was rescued by a loyal servant who risked his life, and from then on, he lived on the streets, competing for food with stray dogs...
At the age of three, the troupe leader, seeing that his features were decent, forced him to practice his craft, and would beat him severely for the slightest mistake...
At the age of ten, a wealthy merchant in the city took a liking to her, bought her, and imprisoned her day and night in a deep courtyard, where she suffered endless humiliation...
At fifteen, a wealthy merchant's entire family was murdered by his enemies. He escaped in the chaos, but due to prolonged imprisonment, he became weak and sickly, and was forced to beg on the streets.
At eighteen, he met a kind-hearted (bodyguard/escort) who took him in as an apprentice, thinking he would finally have someone to rely on for the rest of his life. However, six months later, the (escort team) was attacked by bandits, and the died on the spot while protecting him. He lost a leg and was forced to wander again...
At twenty-five, dragging his crippled leg, he worked as a laborer at the docks. He met a washerwoman, and they married in poverty... In the third year of their marriage, the woman died of postpartum hemorrhage, leaving behind a crying infant!
At thirty, his son drowned unexpectedly... He sat by the river for three days, and was chased away by people who mistook him for a madman...
At thirty-five, he barely made a living by writing letters and telling fortunes... He met a down-on-his-luck scholar, and they chatted amiably. He entrusted the scholar with the small change he had saved up over half his life to buy medicinal herbs, but the scholar disappeared without a trace with the money...
At forty, he contracted tuberculosis, suffered from a persistent cough, and spent his days coughing up blood in a dilapidated temple...
[At 45, he was driven out by a young beggar and slept under the eaves of the City God Temple. One winter night, one of his arms froze to death, making begging increasingly difficult...]
At fifty years old, on a snowy day, he huddled beside the stone lions at the former site of the Marquis's mansion, unnoticed by anyone.
When he was found in the early morning, his body was already stiff, and he was still clutching a broken piece of porcelain with a peony pattern, which he had picked up somewhere...
At first glance, no one thought much of it.
Born into a noble family?
This is something that so many people can only dream of.
Is this what you call punishment?
The reward is more like it!
But the further they looked, the more their expressions froze.
In the end, it all turned into fear!
There's a saying that goes, "Life is always full of ups and downs!"
But Poseidon's life was nothing but "falling, falling, falling"...
It's not enough for him to fall from the clouds to the mud; he also needs to see a glimmer of hope every time he's in despair.
But only to the point of being seen.
Then, throw them hard back into the mud!
This is far more painful than being reborn as an animal and living a muddled life.
Because simple despair and pain only numb people.
It's far less real and more agonizing than this kind of "visible but intangible" torment.
After reading about the life Poseidon was about to experience,
Even the beggars on the street felt that life was so wonderful.
He still has a bright future ahead of him!
"No...no! I don't want this kind of life! I am a god, how can I be reduced to something worse than a pig or a dog!!"
Objection overruled!
Poseidon was led across the Bridge of Helplessness.
At the bridgehead, an old woman with a hunched back was making soup.
"Come on, drink this soup! It will help you forget your past and start afresh, cleanly cleansed!"
With a smile, Chrysanthemum Douluo took the bowl of steaming soup from Meng Po's hands, pried open Poseidon's mouth, and poured it down his throat.
Poseidon's gaze gradually became unfocused and confused!
The gods in the divine realm felt a chill run down their spines upon seeing this!
That's too ruthless!
Having witnessed Poseidon's next life, they gained a completely new understanding of the word "despair"!
And now, even memories are being erased?
That Poseidon will completely lose all chance of turning things around!
"Why did it have to come to this..."
The Asura God couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.
Despite the Sea God violating the rules of the divine realm, interfering with the order of the lower realm, and even attempting to challenge the status of the five great god-kings.
But he was, after all, a god!
Their miserable plight inevitably evoked a sense of shared sorrow among them.
Of course, what they care about most is...
Will I ever be like that one day?
"The name of the Sea God first appeared in that Book of Souls, and only then did the shrimp soldier incident occur!!"
The evil god-king pondered,
"So, that Book of Souls... possesses the power to manipulate cause and effect and destiny?"
Only then did they realize what had happened.
It seems that Poseidon started acting... a little strange after that!
And on that booklet... has your name been quietly written down at this moment?
The thought of this possibility,
The gods felt a chill run down their spines and felt uneasy all over.
If Kiku and Kiku knew about their thoughts...
You'll laugh your head off!
Who do you think you are, to be worthy of entering the cycle of reincarnation?
Although the primordial world has eighteen levels of hell and six paths of reincarnation, as long as one does good deeds and accumulates merit, one still has the chance to defy fate in the next life.
There's still a chance to defy fate in the next life.
They call themselves the founders of the Dao.
But for those born in the small world, their potential has already been locked.
Even if you spend your whole life, you can't compare to an ant in the primordial wilderness!
Poseidon was accepted by the will of the earth and gained the right to reincarnate because he stepped into the primordial world!
Others are not worthy of reincarnation!
In Tiandou City
Flander watched as the sea god was given the Meng Po soup and entered the cycle of reincarnation, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"After a bowl of clear soup, all worldly troubles are forgotten... I'll be a traveler in the mortal world again in the next life!"
What are you muttering to yourself over there?
Liu Erlong didn't turn around, his brows furrowed.
"Xiaogang hasn't eaten anything all day! How come you don't seem to care about him at all?"
"Oh, it's alright, it's alright. Xiao Gang is a renowned theoretical master on the mainland. This little thing is no problem for him!"
Flanders waved his hand.
He glanced at the beautiful woman beside him.
Unfortunately, the other party's mind was entirely focused on Yu Xiaogang.
If there's Meng Po's soup that makes you forget everything, why isn't there a potion that makes you forget love?
Otherwise, he really wanted to drink a whole bucket!
...
After Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo saw off the Sea God...
I received another call from an old acquaintance.
Fiery!
He was beaten to death by the guards after being caught stealing water from someone's foot bath!
"What? You're saying that's foot bath water?"
"I can clearly feel a pure flame aura. Just one sip and my Flame Lord Martial Soul will evolve!"
Yan stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
My face immediately burned with embarrassment, and I wanted to disappear into the ground!
