Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?
#81 - Chapter 81 The Third Wall Engraving
Li Chenqiu extended his hand, but instead of shaking hands with King Yama, he waited quietly for the other party's response.
"Since we need to clear your name, the three of them naturally cannot live. Even if you don't say it, the Underworld will take care of them," King Yama said calmly, his face devoid of any emotion.
Then, King Yama raised an eyebrow, as if thinking of something, and added, "If possible, I will try to let them die at your hands, consider it a personal gift from me, how about it?"
"Thank you," Li Chenqiu grinned and reached out to shake his hand.
"Welcome to join the Underworld," King Yama nodded amiably, then retracted his hand and took out a rolled-up parchment from his chest, placing it in front of Li Chenqiu.
"In the Underworld, apart from the ghost soldiers, everyone else has their own exclusive divine name. For example, my divine name is King Yama, and his divine name is Horse Face," King Yama said, pointing to Horse Face.
"Understood," a trace of understanding flashed in Li Chenqiu's eyes: "So, I have to choose a divine name myself?"
King Yama smiled and shook his head: "The divine names of the Underworld are predetermined, and there are levels of superiority among the divine names, just like my King Yama is above these Netherworld Marshals."
Li Chenqiu thoughtfully stroked his chin and asked, "Then is my divine name the lowest level?"
"Not really," King Yama smiled elegantly: "It's not people choosing divine names, but divine names choosing people. The person chosen by a divine name will be that divine name for life and cannot abandon it.
After the person dies, this divine name will become an unowned divine name, waiting for its next master again, repeating the cycle."
After speaking, King Yama reached out and unrolled the parchment in front of Li Chenqiu.
On the earthy yellow paper, there was a plain circle, and nothing else.
King Yama looked at the parchment and explained, "Open your left hand and put it into the circle, your consciousness will come to a starry sky. Each star there represents a divine name. The brighter the star, the higher the status of the divine name.
After you get there, just stand still and wait. The divine name that chooses you will naturally take action. Good luck."
"Hopefully."
A hint of anticipation flashed in Li Chenqiu's eyes. Just as he was about to put his hand on the parchment, he suddenly stopped and looked at King Yama warily: "You wouldn't take action against me while I'm unconscious, would you!"
The originally calm and composed King Yama twitched his lips when he heard this, and said speechlessly, "I wouldn't do such a thing."
"I thought so too."
After speaking, Li Chenqiu pressed his left hand on the paper.
In an instant, he seemed to have his soul drawn away, his eyes gradually becoming dull, and his gaze focused on the parchment slowly spread around.
"My Lord, what divine name do you think he will get?" Ox-Head asked curiously.
King Yama shook the teacup in his hand: "I don't know, but it shouldn't be a very good divine name. Nowadays, the divine names of the Ten Kings of Hell and the Five Ghost Emperors are all occupied. He… is likely to be a divine name of a Netherworld Marshal!"
…
…
The dark blue night sky was exceptionally bright under the embellishment of the stars. The cool moonlight passed through the thin gauze-like clouds and fell on the boundless green plain.
The night wind, carrying a hint of coolness, blew past, and patches of green grass fell in the direction the wind was leaving, rising and falling like waves.
Li Chenqiu stood alone on the plain, looking up at the stars in the sky.
"They all feel very dim!" Li Chenqiu frowned.
Although there were many stars in the sky, they were basically dim and lifeless, like twilight old men.
"Forget it, let nature take its course, it's just a name anyway."
Li Chenqiu smiled relievedly, opened his arms and fell straight into the grass, closing his eyes comfortably.
When he was a child, every July and August, Li Chenqiu would take a mat to the rooftop of the tube building, spread the mat on the cement floor, and lie on it like now, watching the night sky, blowing the night wind, and enjoying the free air conditioning.
But every time he blew the air conditioning, Li Chenqiu would be bitten by mosquitoes all over his body. For this reason, he specially called Qi Mingyue up to attract the mosquitoes' attention, euphemistically called "sharing a secret base."
Thinking of this, Li Chenqiu subconsciously reached out and slapped his forehead, expecting to kill a mosquito that wanted to suck his blood.
Pa!
He put his palm in front of his eyes and slowly opened his eyes.
His palm was empty, there was nothing.
"The mosquito is gone," Li Chenqiu murmured, the gleam hidden in his eyes quickly dimmed.
Buzz——
At this moment, a buzzing sound suddenly rang in his mind.
"Huh?" Li Chenqiu sat up and touched his head in surprise.
The next second, the stars and moon in the sky suddenly brightened, and the cold white starlight poured towards Li Chenqiu's direction like flowing spring water.
"This is…"
Li Chenqiu was confused. In this moment of stunnedness, the starlight rushed down and completely submerged him.
In an instant, Li Chenqiu felt as if he was trapped in a swamp. Everything around him was oppressing him and enveloping him, but strangely, this feeling was not painful, but rather comfortable, and a coolness spread throughout his body.
Li Chenqiu could feel that these starlights were like streams, merging into his body and slowly approaching his eyebrows.
The moment the starlight reached his eyebrows, the pure darkness deprived Li Chenqiu of his vision. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the palace in his mind.
"Why am I here?" Li Chenqiu scratched his head in confusion and looked around blankly.
A few seconds later, his body stiffened, and his gaze focused on a wall carving that had not yet been colored.
The person carved was a woman, her face was plump, with a faint smile on her face, wearing a jade crown on her head, holding a jade scepter in her hand, her expression was solemn and dignified.
Those phoenix eyes revealed a gentle and dignified temperament, as if they could see through all the illusions in the world.
At this moment, this wall carving was wrapped inside and out by starlight and was slowly absorbing the surrounding starlight.
At the same time, colors slowly appeared at the corners of the wall carving, gradually spreading inward.
Li Chenqiu was a little puzzled. Didn't this wall carving only get colored through killing? Why does it have color now when he hasn't killed anything?
However, his question was destined to go unanswered.
A few minutes later, with the help of the starlight, the wall carving completed its coloring and became Li Chenqiu's third wall carving to regain its color.
But because there was no death, he did not awaken his fourth ability.
Li Chenqiu walked to the third wall carving, looking up and down at the woman in the wall carving, searching for clues about the fourth ability.
"What kind of ability is it, and how do I have to die?"
