Ben Wang Zai Ci / The Legend of Shen Li

Chapter 47 I Can't Control It

Shen Li stared blankly at Xing Zhi, thinking in her mind that this place where the ancient gods were enshrined must be an extremely pure place that no one could enter easily. It's just...does it really matter if such an important place is placed casually in such a room? People in heaven are living so comfortably that they don’t even know how to take precautions! They don’t know how to set up a barrier at the door to block it...

"Is it too late for me to go out now?"

Although Shen Li is a member of the Demon Clan and has never liked the style of the immortals in today's world, she still has some respect for the ancient gods.

Xing Zhi lowered his head and smiled: "It's too late." He looked up at the shimmering souls in the sky and said, "It's not a big deal. Now that you're here, let's greet them. No one has come to see them for a long time."

Since Xing Zhi said this, Shen Li was not in a hurry to go out. She looked up at the stars in the sky. Those spiritual tablets seemed to have spirituality and gradually formed a circle, surrounding Shen Li and Xing Zhi. It was like a group of people were surrounding them to look around, with a faint smile hanging on the corner of Xing Zhi's lips: "The scenery here is the same as the sky outside the sky. They usually arrange themselves like stars and don't move around. See you are here, and they all come to watch the fun, they are very happy."

Shen Li glanced at him and saw that although the smile on his lips was light, it was filled with joyful emotions on his brows. It was very different from his usual calm smile. Shen Li knew that Xing Zhi was really happy at this moment. She glanced at the floating cold soul, feeling a little desolate for no reason.

For Shen Li, all she saw were the words engraved on the spiritual tablets, while what Xing Zhi saw were his former friends, friends who would never come back. No one knows how many years Xing Zhi has lived. He is called a god in the three realms and enjoys the highest courtesy. He lives alone in the sky, lies on the stars, and observes the great events of the world, but no one can accompany him anymore.

He stood too high, and no one could touch him.

"Do you feel... lonely?" Shen Li asked this question out of nowhere. Xing Zhi turned to look at her, was silent for a while, and said with a smile, "Why do you ask?"

"I don't know what you are thinking, but if one day the Demon Lord, Rouya, my generals and subordinates all become speechless tablets, I will have to live alone guarding the empty Demon Realm... ..." Shen Li paused and said, "I will definitely not survive."

Xing Zhi smiled slightly: "It'll be good if you get used to it, and it's a heavy responsibility. The loneliness you mentioned, life and death, are all out of my control."

Shen Li looked at him: "Shouldn't God hold everything in the world in the palm of his hand?"

"So be it." Xing Zhi said, "Except for myself. God is too powerful to have personal feelings. You probably know that, and life and death are beyond my control. Unless I wait until the end of my life It turns into the energy of heaven and earth and stays in the mountains and rivers forever, otherwise, I still can’t die.”

Shen Li was stunned: "Gods also have... the end of their lifespan?"

"Naturally, how can all living things be immortal? Even gods cannot escape. Although my life span is long, it will eventually end. When that day comes, I will follow the power of heaven and turn into a wisp of vitality between heaven and earth, integrating into it. In the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, although the divine form is destroyed, the divine power remains forever and continues to guard all things and stars."

Shen Li was stunned when she heard this: "If that's the case, then all these gods died and turned into a ray of life in the world?"

Xing Zhi shook his head: "Thirty percent of them have reached the end of their lifespan, but the remaining 70% have had accidents happen before their lifespans have expired, they have done things that are against the laws of heaven, they have been stripped of their godhead, they have fallen into reincarnation forever, and they have experienced all kinds of sufferings in this world. Their bodies and spirits have been destroyed, all their divine power is gone, and all the spells they left behind in the world will disappear." He raised his head, "These spiritual tablets can be regarded as a sign of God's mercy, leaving a little memory for the remaining people. Just thinking about it.”
