Chapter 346 Wheel Chapter

An unknown amount of time had passed, but after countless trips back and forth across the Naihe Bridge, Yang Ping'an's soul power seemed to begin to gradually transform. His entire aura seemed to have greatly decreased, and even every strand of his blood and every soul bone's power was transforming, as if they were about to leave Yang Ping'an's body.

If this continues, Yang Ping'an will probably become the nutrients of this underworld and eventually turn into nothingness like a walking corpse.

After countless times, Yang Ping'an seemed to have regained a trace of clarity in his mind. This time the clarity seemed to come from the Scythe of Death between his eyebrows, and also seemed to come from the Shura Demon Sword between his eyebrows. It seemed that these two completely different forces were at work.

The Weird King in the sky seemed a little surprised: "Ashura, I didn't expect this Shura God to be quite interesting. It's obviously the inheritor I like, but he wants to get involved. It seems that Shura God also likes this kid. This kid's opportunity is much better than I thought."

"But this is not bad. It saves this kid a lot of time. Maybe he can really succeed."

At this moment, Yang Ping'an seemed to be aware of the changes in his body. He did not step onto the Naihe Bridge again, but sat cross-legged on the ground.

"Am I inside the Tower of Death or outside the tower? Could it be that the Tower of Death across the street doesn't exist at all, and I have always been inside the Tower of Death."

It seemed that because he had experienced countless trips back and forth across the Naihe Bridge, Yang Ping'an's mind was extremely clear at this moment. He seemed to have been reborn, and seemed completely detached from the world.

"You see the mountain as not a mountain just because you are in it? The King of Weirdness would definitely not say such a thing without a purpose. Is this a hint?"

Yang Ping'an searched through all the memories in his mind at this moment, and his heart seemed to gradually begin to understand.

The saying "seeing a mountain as not a mountain" may be profound, but it is also extremely simple. At least in the previous life, it was just a beginning.

“A mountain is still a mountain when you look at it, it’s not a mountain when you look at it, it’s still a mountain when you look at it.”

Yang Ping'an gradually began to understand that the Weird King's words were just a bit truncated, and he might be misleading him on purpose. If he really needed to understand, it might not be that simple.

Seeing a mountain as a mountain is the first level of life cultivation, and it is also the most primitive and intuitive stage of perception. At this stage, we are full of curiosity and fearless exploration of the world. For everything in front of us, whether it is mountains and rivers, or human relationships, we simply understand it according to the appearance of what we see with our eyes, without in-depth thinking and exploration.

At this stage, we are often easily confused by superficial phenomena and lack the ability to distinguish right from wrong and to see the essence. For example, when we see a mountain, we will only think that it is a mountain, and will not think about the deeper questions such as why it exists, what its internal structure is like, and how it affects our lives. Our hearts change with the changes in the external environment, and we lack our own opinions and the ability to think independently.

The next stage is to "see the mountain as not a mountain", which is the second level of life cultivation and the beginning of questioning and in-depth exploration. At this stage, we begin to doubt the intuitive perception we have accepted before and start to think about the essence and internal connection of things.

When we face a mountain again, we no longer simply think of it as a mountain, but begin to think about why it is shaped like this, what its geological structure is like, and what impact it has on our environment. We begin to try to understand and interpret the mountain from different angles and levels, trying to reveal the essence and laws behind it.

In the end, "seeing the mountain as a mountain" is the third level of life cultivation, and it is also the confident stage of understanding and transcendence. At this stage, after a long period of exploration and thinking, we finally have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of things. We begin to realize that although many things seem complex and changeable on the surface, they actually follow certain laws and principles.

Yang Ping'an carefully observed the underworld. This Naihe Bridge seemed to have a rule that was beyond the entire Douluo Continent. It seemed that it was guiding him to undergo some kind of change. To truly transcend this change, it would take endless years to understand, collide, and comprehend. And to comprehend, the rules were often calculated in years, which could take several years at the shortest, or dozens or even hundreds or thousands of years at the longest.

Yang Ping'an exerted his mental power to the extreme, even the soul bone in his head was revealed, and he began to gradually integrate his mental power into the Naihe Bridge.

After the mental power entered the Naihe Bridge, it seemed as if it had been baptized and gradually turned into nothingness. However, after an unknown amount of time, it seemed as if under the influence of some special force, it began to return to its original state.

During this process, the mental power seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation, as if it were reborn.

As more and more spiritual power was injected, Yang Ping'an seemed to begin to understand more and more the power on the Naihe Bridge. It was not the so-called destruction or rebirth, but a brand-new power, a power that even the gods did not possess.

Yang Pingan couldn't help but mutter, "Reincarnation? I didn't expect it to be this kind of power. The question is how can I break through this power? Or how can I master this power?"

In Yang Ping'an's impression, the strongest power in the divine world should belong to the five great gods, namely the power of destruction, the power of life, the power of evil, the power of goodness and the power of Shura. If one wants to control them, he may only have the legendary power of creation.

The power of reincarnation before his eyes seemed completely different. It was more like some new power, even a power that surpassed the realm of gods.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Ping'an stood up again. This time, after taking a moment to calm himself, he walked onto the Naihe Bridge once again.

However, this time, Yang Pingan had some other changes. He directly exerted the power of the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone in his right leg and the power of the soul bone in his head to the extreme. He carefully felt the changes in power, or the changes in rules, on the Naihe Bridge.

The Blue Silver Emperor on Yang Ping'an's right leg represents the ultimate life attribute, while the head soul bone has an extremely strong destructive attribute. Life and destruction cycle over and over again, and it seems that some special power is gradually forming between the two, faintly merging with the power on the Naihe Bridge.

This time, after Yang Ping'an crossed the Naihe Bridge, his memory was also completely restored, but he did not return to the Naihe Bridge. Instead, he came to a huge tower, which was the Tower of Death.

At this moment, Yang Pingan felt that all his soul bones seemed to be gradually merging together, as if they had formed an unprecedented power. Yang Pingan couldn't help but look up to the sky and roared: "Is this the power of reincarnation? It is indeed powerful enough."

As Yang Ping'an used all his strength to touch the Tower of Death, the entire Tower of Death seemed to suddenly shrink at this moment and finally merge into the position of Yang Ping'an's heart.

Yang Ping'an carefully observed the position of his heart and found that it seemed to have some special properties. He was even able to use the Tower of Death perfectly.

At this moment, a voice came from Yang Pingan's mind.

"Yang Ping'an, you have passed the eighth test of the Death God's Nine Tests. You have been recognized by the Death God's Tower and obtained the Death God's Heart. Your affinity with the Death God has been increased by 15%, bringing your total affinity to 95%."

At this moment, the Weird King appeared in front of Yang Pingan again.

"Yang Ping'an, I didn't expect you to be able to complete the seventh level assessment so quickly. It seems that you are much faster than I thought."

Yang Pingan quickly bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Lord Death, for your help, especially thank you for your guidance before."

The Weird King nodded slightly: "This is your own good fortune. I originally thought that with your aptitude and intelligence, it would take at least a hundred years to pass the seventh test. I didn't expect that you have completed it in just half a year. It seems that you are indeed destined to be with me."

Yang Pingan was surprised: "Lord Death, did it take me half a year to complete this assessment? Why do I feel like it didn't take that much time?"

The Weird King said calmly: "Where do you think this place is? This is the underworld I created when I was alive. It is an independent little world I built. Although it is synchronized with the outside world and time, it has its own rules."

"How many times do you think you have walked on the Naihe Bridge? From the first time you stepped on the Naihe Bridge, it has been six months, that is, 182 days. In these 182 days, you have walked across the Naihe Bridge a total of 36,000 times."

"Luckily you finally understood something, otherwise it would have taken you nearly a hundred years to come out. Otherwise, why would I tell you about the difficulty of this assessment?"

Yang Ping'an's face was a little dark at this moment. If it weren't for the reminder from the Scythe of Death and the Shura Demon Sword, he would probably continue walking on the Naihe Bridge, and who knows how many years it would take.

You know, Yang Ping'an's time is very tight now. The Douluo World changes every day. If he becomes a god too late, all his previous plans may collapse.

The Weird King seemed to see through Yang Ping'an's thoughts: "Yang Ping'an, you no longer have the opportunity to pay attention to the outside world. In this small world, in this underworld, if you cannot complete the inheritance of the God of Death, then you will never be able to leave here for the rest of your life."

Yang Pingan quickly said, "Lord Death, will the next two tests also take countless hours like this?"

The Weird King asked back: "Do you care about the time to complete the assessment now? But it's too late for you to worry about these things now. Even the Shura God cannot enter this underworld, let alone other gods."

"But I can tell you in advance that you are basically a divine body now. In other words, theoretically you are already a god. However, since you don't have a god position and a tenth soul ring, you can only be considered a demigod or a pseudo-god. The subsequent assessments should not be too life-threatening, but how much time it takes depends on you."

At this moment, a voice appeared in Yang Ping'an's mind again.

"Yang Ping'an, the eighth test of the Nine Tests of the God of Death, cultivate both martial spirits to the nine-ring level, obtain all spirit rings and spirit bones, gain recognition from the underworld, and become the master of the underworld. There is no time limit."

Yang Ping'an was also surprised when he saw the content of the assessment. There was neither a time limit nor a penalty for failure. It seemed completely different from other assessments.

"Excuse me, Lord Death, how can I gain recognition from this world? Is there anything I need to do?"

Weird King Dao: "This small world has not really taken shape. Although I established certain rules during my lifetime, they are not perfect. Although it can absorb some souls from the Douluo World now, it has not merged with the entire Douluo World as a whole. So you need to perfect its rules and even make this world a world like the God Realm."

Yang Pingan was confused: "Lord Death, I still don't quite understand. With my strength, I shouldn't be able to touch things at the rule level."

Weird King said: "Don't you understand your own strength? After passing the seventh level assessment, you can already use the power of reincarnation, the power of death, and even the weak power of life and destruction. In particular, you can use the heart of death, so you can naturally do whatever you want in this small world."

"Especially fortunately, you actually still have two spirit rings in your body, which saves you the trouble of obtaining spirit rings. Perhaps you can be called a true god of level 100 without a godly rank."

Yang Ping'an:...

When did I have two spirit rings in my body?
The Weird King continued, "But your situation is rather special. If you cannot inherit the throne, you will remain in this small world forever. Even if you are lucky enough to return to the Douluo World, you will be rejected by the entire Douluo Star." (End of this chapter)
