I thought that since we were both among the six gods of Houtu, with the help of the Sun God and the Day Wanderer, I could obtain the power of the cycle of reincarnation from the hell realm and the hungry ghost realm without much effort.
However, as soon as the Star Lord of Fate spoke, Lin Fei knew that things probably wouldn't go as smoothly as he had expected.
Standing beside Si Ming Xing Jun, Shangguan Shen spoke up: "Si Ming, Ri You has always been the type to avoid offending anyone, so why bother arguing with him?"
Then, he turned to look at Mao Ri Xingjun and said, "Mao Ri, to be honest, Si Ming and I have found a way to escape from this cycle of reincarnation without relying on anyone. We can even completely control the power of reincarnation and become the true masters of this cycle of reincarnation. It's just that the old monk outside has been suppressing us, preventing us from escaping. Now that you and Ri You have arrived, and the old monk's strength is not what it used to be, with the combined strength of the four of us, we will definitely be able to escape from this cycle of reincarnation."
He smiled and extended his hand to the Rabbit Star Lord, appearing very confident: "So, how about joining us? It's much better than having to put up with other people's attitudes, what do you think?"
Shangguan Shen truly lived up to his reputation as the strongest of the Six Gods of Houtu, nominally the leader of all six. He also had a very clear understanding of the personality of each of the Six Gods of Houtu.
While speaking, Shangguan Shen completely disregarded Riyou Shen and instead directly tried to win over Mao Ri Xingjun.
Shangguan Shen knew this perfectly well, and so did Lin Fei. To put it nicely, this wandering god was pragmatic and knew when to advance and retreat. To put it bluntly, he was a complete opportunist.
Due to his own lack of strength, the Day Wanderer God is never willing to do anything that puts him in danger. If the Rabbit Sun Star Lord were to be won over, the Day Wanderer God probably wouldn't have stubbornly stood on Lin Fei's side.
Mao Ri Xingjun frowned, seemingly lost in thought. At this moment, Shangguan Shen continued to tempt him, "Did you make some kind of oath to that person, like a soul oath? Since I'm bringing you in, I certainly won't put you in any danger. I also have a way to resolve this soul oath for you. We've been working together for so many years, you should trust me."
In ancient times, Shangguan Shen was practically the leader of the six gods of Houtu. His words carried considerable weight. Not only Mao Ri Xingjun, but even the Riyou Shen beside him cast a shadowy glance at him.
After all, being able to regain complete freedom, and even become the master of the cycle of reincarnation, is far better than obeying others and doing their bidding. Like the Sun God, the Sun God had worked with the God of the Rabbit for many years and knew that the God of the Rabbit was not a boastful person.
Of course, if the Sun God didn't agree, the cowardly Sun God wouldn't dare to agree first, lest he incur Lin Fei's retaliation. He could only wait for the Sun God to make the decision first; then, even if Lin Fei wanted to retaliate, he would only target the Sun God first, not himself.
“I naturally trust what you, the superior, say,” said Mao Ri Xingjun, nodding thoughtfully.
"Then what are you still hesitating about?" Shangguan Shen smiled and said, "After many years of separation, we, the six gods of Houtu, can join forces again. When we find Yeyou and Zhiyue, we can roam freely between heaven and earth. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
"There's just one thing I don't understand," Mao Ri Xingjun asked with a frown. "Breaking the seal of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and helping me break the Great Vow of My Soul, I'm afraid even you, Shangguan, might not be able to do that, right? Or is there someone backing you?"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Shen's smile vanished, replaced by a cold expression. He snorted and said, "You only need to know that I can help you. There's no need to ask anything else. When the time is right, I will let you know."
“Since that’s the case, there’s nothing more to discuss.” Mao Ri Xingjun suddenly pulled Ri Youshen back behind Lin Fei. “Although I, Mao Ri, am not a moral saint, I would never do something so dubious. Since I have already promised to serve you, I cannot easily go back on my word.”
He looked at Shangguan Shen and Siming Xingjun with a mocking expression: "Besides, it seems you're nothing more than dogs to others. I don't want to be a dog who doesn't even know who its master is."
"Hey, hey!" The Sun Wanderer was grabbed by the Sun God and forced back behind Lin Fei. He seemed a little unwilling, but since he had already retreated, he could not betray him at this time, so he could only sigh.
"My lord, it seems that the two of them have already sided with others." Mao Ri Xingjun said to Lin Fei, "If we want to obtain the power of the origin of reincarnation, it seems that we have no choice but to use force."
Lin Fei nodded silently. This Mao Ri Xingjun did not disappoint him. Although he did not flatter like the Ri You Shen, he was a reliable person when it mattered.
Just as the Star Lord of the Rabbit Day said, the Star Lord of Fate and the God of Shangguan have already pledged allegiance to someone unknown. And the person they have pledged allegiance to is very likely the one who has tampered with the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Now it seems that the only option left is to scramble for the power of the origin of reincarnation, which is currently beyond our control.
……
Upon seeing Mao Ri Xingjun retreat behind Lin Fei, Shangguan Shen knew that the negotiations between the two sides had broken down. He sighed and said, "Mao Ri, since you are so ungrateful, don't blame me for disregarding the friendship between Houtu and the Six Gods! As an old friend, I have no choice but to personally send you on your way!"
The Star Lord of the Rabbit Sun sneered and said, "In this cycle of reincarnation, we all know how much of your cultivation you had back then is left. I'm not necessarily afraid of you!"
Although Shangguan Shen is the strongest of the six gods of Houtu, his strength has probably been greatly reduced, and he may not be able to defeat Mao Ri Xingjun by much. As for Riyou Shen, although his strength is not good, as the only one of the six gods of Houtu who now has a divine position to protect him, it is not too difficult for him to hold back Siming Xingjun.
With Lin Fei also present, it seems unlikely that Shangguan Shen and Siming Xingjun will gain any advantage.
"Ignorant fools!" Shangguan Shen sneered. "People like you can only become cannon fodder in the long river of time! Very well, today I'll show you what it's like, and let you two leave in peace!"
As they spoke, Shangguan Shen and Siming Xingjun chanted incantations together, and the molten lava beneath their feet instantly boiled like boiling water.
It seemed as if something extraordinary was about to burst forth from the lava beneath their feet.
Just then, the voice of the Black Serpent Spirit rang in Lin Fei's mind. Its voice was filled with shock and astonishment as it said, "It's me and the Spirit Turtle's true forms, actually in their hands! How is this possible?"
