Chapter 102 The Pinnacle of Beings
The Wuji Pavilion was completely silent.
Ling Tian subconsciously took a step back, his gaze falling on the box that gleamed with a faint light. His throat bobbed, and his voice was slightly hoarse:
"This thing is so malevolent, yet you made me carry it with me all the time..."
"What if it affects my mind someday?"
"And there's the Heavenly Pool of the Divine Realm you mentioned."
"Senior, you flatter me too much."
"I'm just an ordinary person, and I've never left a few towns in my entire life."
"Now you suddenly want me to go to the realm of gods? To step out of the gates of the human world?"
"Are you kidding me?"
Master Qingwei simply smiled faintly, his tone resolute:
"No one else can, but you—can!"
"It can even bring others into the realm of gods!"
A slight smile played on his lips, and a profound look flashed in his eyes, as if he had pierced through layers of clouds and glimpsed that unattainable divine realm.
"Because you are the strongest being in the divine realm, General Fei Peng!"
"To outsiders, the realm of gods is like ascending to heaven."
"But for you, it's just going home."
"Bringing a few people along is just like inviting guests along the way."
Ling Tian froze, his finger trembling as he pointed at himself, staggering back several steps, his face filled with disbelief:
"General Fei Peng? The number one expert in the divine realm?"
"Old Taoist priest, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Could it be that you and that red-haired monster conspired to trick me?"
"I'm just a lowly shopkeeper in Yong'an... how could I possibly be the reincarnation of a deity?"
Faced with his questioning, Qingwei did not get angry, but simply smiled and pointed to the box emitting a purple light:
"If you are not the chosen one, but the reincarnation of Fei Peng's soul."
"Why is it that this evil thought, which even the people of Mount Shu couldn't control, obeys your commands?"
As she finished speaking, Qingwei slowly turned around, looked up at the end of the sky, and her expression gradually became solemn:
"As for the 'red-haired monster' you mentioned, he is actually the supreme ruler of the demon realm—the Demon Lord, Chonglou."
"Among the six realms, they can be considered the pinnacle of existence."
"The reason you have fallen into the cycle of reincarnation is because of the karma you created in your battle with him back then."
"In the past, General Fei Peng guarded the Southern Heavenly Gate, controlled the Well of Gods and Demons, and his power shook the Six Realms."
"No one dares to offend him, and no one can defeat him."
"Until Chonglou appeared."
"Because you are invincible in the world, you have become arrogant and have repeatedly defied the rules of heaven by fighting against the Demon Lord Chonglou without permission."
"On that day, the Heavenly Emperor finally noticed and was enraged by thunder."
"An imperial edict was issued, capturing you and banishing you to the mortal realm to suffer the torment of reincarnation forever."
"Now Chonglou has broken free of the Demon-Sealing Tower and is personally coming to the human realm to find you."
"It wasn't a case of mistaken identity, but rather that he had never forgotten that unfinished battle."
Ling Tian stood frozen in place, his finger still pointing to his chest, his voice trembling:
"General Fei Peng?"
"Am I... really the reincarnation of that general?"
"So that red-haired monster didn't mistake someone?"
His mind was in complete chaos.
For more than twenty years, he was just an ordinary little man, spending his days doing accounts and collecting debts, living a humble life.
But now he is being told that he was once a being at the pinnacle of the divine realm?
Even though he knew nothing about the divine realm, he understood what the words "the number one expert in the divine realm" meant.
What made him even more desperate was—
That powerful, suffocatingly strong Demon Lord Chonglou actually took a liking to him!
"Oh no..."
"If I really am the reincarnation of Fei Peng, then wouldn't I have no way to escape?"
"The Supreme Demon Lord, Chonglou..."
"Just hearing his name makes me sound like someone who could wipe me out a thousand times over with a wave of his hand..."
"It's all over, it's all over."
"I thought he would give up after a few days when he realized he had mistaken someone for someone else."
"Now look what's happened, it's all over!"
The slight ripple that had just arisen in my heart has now turned into a deep sense of fear.
He had made up a false identity, hoping to temporarily escape Chonglou's entanglement.
Thinking that the other party would eventually find out, he would leave.
But the reality is—
Master Qingwei told him personally: He did not admit his mistake.
That unassuming young manager of Yong'an Pawnshop was none other than General Fei Peng from the divine realm!
What does this mean?
This means that the terrifying demon obsessed with duels will be his constant companion!
At some unknown moment, he will step out from the void and say in a cold voice:
"We will continue this battle."
With his complete lack of martial arts skills, he was easily defeated by Demon Lord Chonglou in the blink of an eye.
"Young friend Ling Tian, there is no need to worry."
Qingwei smiled faintly and comforted her gently.
"To others, Chonglou has always been untrustworthy."
"But everyone in the six realms knows that he always held General Fei Peng in the highest esteem."
"In Chonglou's eyes, Feipeng is an unshakeable force. Now that you have made three vows related to Feipeng, he will never attack you again if you do not fulfill them."
"really?"
Ling Tian's eyes suddenly lit up, his gaze sharp and filled with unbelievable surprise.
The three regrets he himself mentioned in his life were, in his view, completely unattainable!
If Chonglou really does give up because of his promise...
Then in this lifetime, there will probably never again be a crisis where the Demon Lord personally comes and life hangs by a thread!
"That's just how it is."
Qingwei nodded slightly, then his expression turned serious, and he said solemnly:
"Young friend Ling Tian, the mystery is now solved."
"I hope that for the greater good of all living beings, you will personally deliver this box to the depths of the divine realm—to the shores of Heavenly Pool!"
"Only you can do this!"
"It concerns the safety of the entire human world!"
Ling Tian stared blankly at the person in front of him.
Whether it appears in a dream or we meet in reality,
Master Qingwei remained smiling and spoke gently throughout.
At this moment, however, his face was more solemn than ever before.
He reached out and took the wooden box, his eyes resolute, and nodded emphatically.
"good!"
"Old man, I promise you!"
……
"Is Ling Tian not the original Fei Peng Divine General, but rather his reincarnation?"
"So, in other words, Ling Tian really had no cultivation at all before? And he didn't try to hide it at all?"
"Since he has entered the cycle of reincarnation and entered the mortal world, perhaps from the moment of reincarnation, he truly no longer remembers the past."
"He has truly and completely forgotten that he was once the greatest war god of the divine realm—Fei Peng!"
"Then the rumors that Fei Peng secretly plotted to overthrow the divine realm are completely debunked."
"That's right. If Ling Tian really is the reincarnation of Fei Peng, and has lost all his memories."
"Even though he has become a street thug with a carefree and undisciplined character, which is a surprising contrast, it is still understandable."
"After all, he grew up in the human realm, not returned from the divine realm."
"I have always firmly believed that Ling Tian is the reincarnation of Fei Peng!"
"So... Fei Peng was really banished to the mortal realm and forced to undergo reincarnation because of his private duel with Chong Lou?"
"This...Isn't the God Emperor afraid that the Demon Realm will take this opportunity to retaliate with such a decision?"
"Yes, the reason why the divine realm was able to suppress the demon realm in the past was entirely due to Fei Peng guarding the Heavenly Gate."
"If the pillar supporting the heavens is destroyed for the sake of a single battle, how will the divine realm maintain its dignity in the future?"
"Returning to the Divine Realm is like returning home? For Ling Tian, the reincarnation of Fei Peng, isn't it exactly like returning home?"
"However... who could have imagined that Ling Tian, as a reincarnated being, would ultimately surpass his past life and reach the pinnacle of the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking? It's truly astonishing!"
"It's not surprising. Even in reincarnation, the mark of Fei Peng still flows deep within his soul."
