The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

31. The Origin of the Large Competition

Translator: Ning LL

This magnificent meeting of the Three Worlds actually only opened to the Heaven World and the Demon World, which meant the people in the Human World weren’t invited. However, people were still accustomed to calling it a Three Worlds event.

This once-in-a-century meeting was also called Large Competition between Gods and Demons. Since it only happened once in a thousand years, the occasion was unprecedentedly grand. The scene of a large crowd of gods and demons going around would be very shocking.

The Large Competition was created because of the Huge War between Gods and Demons. King of the Netherworld was the one that had caused the result.

After all, the war between gods and demons had brought nothing good except for misery to the Three Worlds. The Netherworld wasn’t involved in the war. However, the deaths of the gods and demons were so many that the Underworld and the Ghost World were not able to deal with the souls of the dead. Lord of the Transmigration Palace even left all the things to his subordinates and stayed away from the trouble. At last, the Ghost World couldn’t contain that many souls and the transmigration duration of the souls in the Underworld was extended infinitely. The order in the two worlds was severely influenced.

As a result, not only did the nether officials keep complaining, but the souls that had waited for their transmigration got very indignant.

Finally, King of the Netherworld acknowledged that since the complaints of the souls and the nether officials even reached his palace.

After the King was startled, he decided not to sit by and do nothing. He used his endless Spiritual Power to send all the souls in the Underworld and the Ghost world to the places where they should belong. Then, he interfered in the war to stop it from continuing.

The king of the Heaven World and the king of the Demon World also fought a duel in the war, which appealed lots of attention from gods and demons.

King of the Netherworld showed up when the two kings were fighting. After that, he used the way of Heaven to send the two kings out of the battlefield and terminated their duel contract. At that time, all the gods and demons finally realized how powerful King of the Netherworld who lived a secluded life was. Since King of the Netherworld was able to employ the way of Heaven so easily, his power must be above all the gods and demons.

As a result, the legendary story of King of the Netherworld who showed up all of a sudden to stop the war between the gods and demons spread throughout the Three Worlds.

King of the Netherworld knew that it was impossible to stop the fights between gods and demons forever due to their grudges against each other, so he set up the Large Competition of the Gods and Demons which was held once in a thousand years.

Since this was a large competition, there had to be an eyewitness.

That witness had to be King of the Netherworld himself. This was the tenth time he had received an invitation letter in ten thousand years. However, he only showed up once when the Competition was held for the first time. Anyway, the Large Competition had still been held in full swing for ten thousand years. However, King of the Netherworld did have planned something when he received the invitation this time.

He decided to take the boy to attend the Large Competition which would be held after a hundred years. That way the boy could gain experience and also learn more about the vast Three Worlds and the respective forces.

“There would be a magnificent event after a hundred years. You’ll attend it with me.” The King came back from his thought and picked up the invitation letter on the crystal desk.

The letter was made by the bark of the Jiao Magic Tree. The one that wrote the letter transformed his own Spiritual Power into words that could bounce. The letter could actually confirm the identity of the person who opened it by reflecting that person’s image. After the identity was confirmed, the letter would display all the contents on it.

That was the most amazing thing that the Jiao Magic Tree could do. Ordinary people only used that magic when they needed to send secret messages. However, this invitation letter was sent to King of the Netherworld and the person who held the competition was afraid that some evil people might pretend to be the King. After all, something like that did have happened before. Therefore, in the past five thousand years, all the invitation letters were made of the bark of the Jiao Magic Tree.

“A magnificent event, what is that?” Feng Xi took the invitation letter from the King and opened it. However, he found no words on the letter.

“The Competition between Gods and Demons which is held once in a thousand years. There will be lots of gods and demons including the people from the prestigious families in the Heaven World and the Demon World as well as numerous self cultivators. It’s about time for you to gain some experience after a hundred years.” King of the Netherworld explained that.

“All right. I’ll go.” As Feng Xi heard the phrase ‘prestigious families’, he agreed to go without hesitation.

He thought that there would be lots of treasures.

In his previous life, his dream had been stealing the treasures all over the world. However, he hadn’t accomplished that dream before he died. Now, his dream was stealing the treasures all over the Three Worlds. Stealing was something he would do for his entire life. He would rather let everyone in the Three Worlds witness a great thief master! Ha ha ha!

Seeing the boy getting more and more overjoyed, the King wasn’t surprised at all.

“During the next one hundred years, you will have to stay in the palace until you break through the Magical Human Realm. Since you don’t want Uncle White to discipline you, I’ll teach you by myself.” King of the Netherworld uttered those words while the boy was feeling good about himself.

The complacent look on the boy’s face froze right away.

“I’ll be very strict.” As the anguished face of the boy was reflected in the King’s eyes, the latter flashed a slightly joyful expression in his eyes.

Only when the King was about to step out of the Quiet Stage Palace did Feng Xi come back to earth with a cry. Then he chased the King right away, shouting.

“My leader, please don’t… Maybe we can talk about this. Can you give me an easier task? Please?”
