Following the female Fiendkindâs departure, the dead started becoming even rowdier.
Some of the dead were still thinking, some other went into the screen of light without hesitation and disappeared.
The smartest and most cunning dead have already reincarnated even before the female Fiendkind spoke up.
At this time, another of the 10 opposing leaders of hell stood out and declared loudly: âEveryone, why are you still here, itâs time to reincarnate, if we stop here anymore, our Merit will be deducted!â
He then called out: âMerit Accountant Machine!â
The Merit counter appeared above his head, decreasing at a stable rate.
âTake a look, this is the Merit I got in exchange for dying countless timesâ
âWhy should I throw away the Merit I spent countless deaths to get for the world of the living?â
âThink about it carefullyâ
After he finished, he looked at Gu Qing Shan with an unsmiling smile.
âMy apologies, Devil King, I need to look out for myself firstâ
He went into the light screen and reincarnated.
Another of the 10 stood out, laughing in a frenzy: âOnly endless destruction could bring endless joy, Devil King, I thank you very much for giving me such joy before my reincarnationâ
âSo die! Let the world be destroyed! This is my most favorite scenario!â
âIâm going now, the rest of you ââ-can just die!â
Saying so, he also went into the endless screen of light and disappeared.
Another of the 10 spoke up: âThink carefully everyone, at the very moment of your reincarnation, a world will be destroyed with your leave, just how joyful and enjoyable such a thing would be? Join me!!â
He disappeared into the light as well.
The rest of the 10 more or less mocked and laughed at Gu Qing Shan before going away.
They all left.
After some thought, some of the dead muttered: âMerit Accountant Machineâ
When they saw their Merit decreasing with their own eyes, they were frightened.
Very quickly, they went into the screen of light as well.
A few normal dead people who have the same thoughts as the 10 opposing leaders also mocked Gu Qing Shan before reincarnating as well.
This canât be helped.
The Devil King Warden Rod canât control these dead people anymore.
Because through the act of reincarnating, they can cut off their ties with hell.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head knowing that he already lost the big picture.
He turned around to his friends, telling them to ready the final preparations.
âImpartial Goddess, activate all the weapons of war, weâre going for brokeâ
âSir President and your majesty, you might want to consider rallying the troops right nowâ
The leaders sighed and nodded.
Gu Qing Shan continued in a low voice: âNext, weâll â-â
âWait a minute, we still havenât left!â
A voice cut him off.
Wolf King.
It was Wolf King that spoke.
Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
He then reformed the telepathic connection to observe the dead.
The 7 leaders were still in the connection.
A few minutes went by.
A lot of the dead had already disappeared and reincarnated.
But the majority of them remained.
He found that about 80% of the dead were still connected to the Devil King Warden Rod and still havenât gone into the screen of light.
They hadnât left.
Gu Qing Shan squeezed the head of the Devil King Warden Rod, connecting to the dead.
ă Why havenât you reincarnated yet? ă
He asked in confusion.
The dead stayed silent without saying a word.
They exchanged looks, seemingly not knowing how to answer.
The female Asura answered for the rest of them: âDevil King, please take a look where I amâ
Everyone followed the telepathic link and looked at her.
The female Asura was guarding the hall of a hospital.
The 7 leaders had scattered earlier, looking for their own battles to fight, and this was where the female Asura ended up in.
A particularly large demon had fell down and caused over half the hospital to collapse.
Noticing this purely by chance, the female Asura came down to battle the demon.
She protected this place.
At this moment, she was standing in the now-open hallway, carrying a newborn baby near her chest.
Her expression was soft.
âThis is a new-born lifeâ
Saying so, she showed the baby for the dead to see.
Apparently sensing that, the baby opened its eyes looking around curiously.
Of course he couldnât possibly see the countless gazes from the void of space.
After a few moments, the baby had already felt tired and closed his eyes, going back to sleep.
The dead couldnât help but speak among themselves.
âTch tch, how easily he sleptâ
âThis little brat probably doesnât know the world is about to endâ
âFool, such a young life of course wouldnât understand those thingsâ
âThe world is done for, heâll be done for tooâ
âBitch, this great one is still hereâ
The dead were arguing.
The female Asura spoke: ââ-I didnât think about saving the world or anything that grand, I only came to the human realm to have the Devil King owe me a favor, earning a bit more Merit on the wayâ
âBut I happened to stumble upon this new lifeâ
âNow I just hope that both this baby and his mother can live and survive, togetherâ
The female Asura was speaking through the telepathic link.
âAfter all, Iâm already used to being in hell, going there once again isnât that much of an issueâ
She then looked towards Gu Qing Shanâs direction and asked softly: âDevil King, if I fall into hell, are you willing to give me salvation once again?â
The voices of the dead all stopped.
Dead silence.
They were all waiting for Gu Qing Shanâs answer.
Gu Qing Shan held the Devil King Warden Rod even tighter: âEven if I have to destroy every hell, Iâll get you outâ
The female Asura nodded as her expression became normal again.
She loudly asked out of nowhere: âWhat about you lot? What are you thinking? Since youâre in hell, none of you are originally good people, but why did you stay behind?â
The dead were whispering among each other, but didnât declare anything to all the dead like she did.
Or perhaps they didnât know what to say.
âWith counting the killing I did in battle, it was truly the bad karma I committed while in life, this I admitâ the male Asura mumbled, âbut if I leave now, I keep feeling it wouldnât be fine at allâ
Wolf King continued: âOnce I leave, billions of life will die with me⊠this really make me hesitateâ
âEven if I had killed countless enemies while alive, I believe this must be a first for everyone here, such an unprecedented choiceâ
The villains of hell couldnât help themselves nodding.
âThen why havenât you left yet?â the female Asura asked.
âI need to seriously think about this ââ-should I let these billion of lives die at the hands of countless demons, or should they be savedâ Wolf King said.
âYouâre still thinking about that? You do know that your Merit is being deducted every minute that passes right?â the Fiendkind leader cut him off.
At this time, the cries of a baby came.
Everyone looked back.
The female Asura was hurriedly returning the baby to a human woman.
She was smiling.
Since the female Asura has been protecting both her and her child, she wasnât scared of her at all.
She didnât even know that she was a dead person, or an Asura, only that she was very powerful.
The woman was only nervous as a new mother would be to see her baby cry.
But she quickly hugged the baby and calmed him down.
It seems the baby was hungry.
The mother looked at him, turned around and began to breastfeed.
The dead could still see her expression from this angle.
She appeared at peace and satisfied, having the shine of a mother.
The dead all stared at this.
They remained silent even after a while has passed.
Wolf King suddenly sighed: âWhat a headache, to leave or to stay, this one will probably need some more time to thinkâ
âHow much longer do you want to think?â
âDevil King, how much time left until the world barrier reforms itself?â
Gu Qing Shan answered: ă 29 minutes 17 seconds ă
Wolf King nodded: âThen give me about 29 minutes and 17 secondsâ
Saying so, it went silent.
The telepathic connection of the hundreds of quadrillion people here slowly became silent as well.
No one was speaking.
Also.
No one was leaving.
