Following the female Fiendkind’s 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: “Everyone, why are you still here, it’s time to reincarnate, if we stop here anymore, our Merit will be deducted!”
He then called out: “Merit Accountant Machine!”
The Merit counter appeared above his head, decreasing at a stable rate.
“Take a look, this is the Merit I got in exchange for dying countless times”
“Why should I throw away the Merit I spent countless deaths to get for the world of the living?”
“Think about it carefully”
After he finished, he looked at Gu Qing Shan with an unsmiling smile.
“My apologies, Devil King, I need to look out for myself first”
He went into the light screen and reincarnated.
Another of the 10 stood out, laughing in a frenzy: “Only endless destruction could bring endless joy, Devil King, I thank you very much for giving me such joy before my reincarnation”
“So die! Let the world be destroyed! This is my most favorite scenario!”
“I’m going now, the rest of you ——-can just die!”
Saying so, he also went into the endless screen of light and disappeared.
Another of the 10 spoke up: “Think 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!!”
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: “Merit Accountant Machine”
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 can’t be helped.
The Devil King Warden Rod can’t 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.
“Impartial Goddess, activate all the weapons of war, we’re going for broke”
“Sir President and your majesty, you might want to consider rallying the troops right now”
The leaders sighed and nodded.
Gu Qing Shan continued in a low voice: “Next, we’ll —-”
“Wait a minute, we still haven’t left!”
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 haven’t gone into the screen of light.
They hadn’t left.
Gu Qing Shan squeezed the head of the Devil King Warden Rod, connecting to the dead.
「 Why haven’t you reincarnated yet? 」
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: “Devil King, please take a look where I am”
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.
“This is a new-born life”
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 couldn’t 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 couldn’t help but speak among themselves.
“Tch tch, how easily he slept”
“This little brat probably doesn’t know the world is about to end”
“Fool, such a young life of course wouldn’t understand those things”
“The world is done for, he’ll be done for too”
“Bitch, this great one is still here”
The dead were arguing.
The female Asura spoke: “—-I didn’t 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 way”
“But I happened to stumble upon this new life”
“Now I just hope that both this baby and his mother can live and survive, together”
The female Asura was speaking through the telepathic link.
“After all, I’m already used to being in hell, going there once again isn’t that much of an issue”
She then looked towards Gu Qing Shan’s direction and asked softly: “Devil King, if I fall into hell, are you willing to give me salvation once again?”
The voices of the dead all stopped.
Dead silence.
They were all waiting for Gu Qing Shan’s answer.
Gu Qing Shan held the Devil King Warden Rod even tighter: “Even if I have to destroy every hell, I’ll get you out”
The female Asura nodded as her expression became normal again.
She loudly asked out of nowhere: “What about you lot? What are you thinking? Since you’re in hell, none of you are originally good people, but why did you stay behind?”
The dead were whispering among each other, but didn’t declare anything to all the dead like she did.
Or perhaps they didn’t know what to say.
“With counting the killing I did in battle, it was truly the bad karma I committed while in life, this I admit” the male Asura mumbled, “but if I leave now, I keep feeling it wouldn’t be fine at all”
Wolf King continued: “Once I leave, billions of life will die with me… this really make me hesitate”
“Even if I had killed countless enemies while alive, I believe this must be a first for everyone here, such an unprecedented choice”
The villains of hell couldn’t help themselves nodding.
“Then why haven’t you left yet?” the female Asura asked.
“I need to seriously think about this ——-should I let these billion of lives die at the hands of countless demons, or should they be saved” Wolf King said.
“You’re still thinking about that? You do know that your Merit is being deducted every minute that passes right?” 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 wasn’t scared of her at all.
She didn’t 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: “What a headache, to leave or to stay, this one will probably need some more time to think”
“How much longer do you want to think?”
“Devil King, how much time left until the world barrier reforms itself?”
Gu Qing Shan answered: 「 29 minutes 17 seconds 」
Wolf King nodded: “Then give me about 29 minutes and 17 seconds”
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.
