202: Meeting of the Coffin Men

Song Zhong reached out and picked up the Reincarnation Mirror from the table.

This mirror was only palm-sized, its edges covered in thick rust, with only the mirror surface itself relatively smooth; to ordinary people, it was just an ordinary mirror.

Even in the antique collecting world, this item couldn't be circulated—nothing else, because it was too common.

However, in Song Zhong's eyes at this moment, the mirror was covered with countless profound rings, within which streams of Reincarnation Law circulated ceaselessly.

Within the System space, the two bronze coffins of Shen Tu and Yu Lei trembled incessantly, and two ancient, magnificent voices emerged from within the bronze coffins.

"I... I've sensed... Reincarnation!" A muffled sound came from Shen Tu's bronze coffin.

"Me too," Yu Lei said.

"It seems... we... were one step faster."

"Of course, we're not like that guy who only wails."

Bang!

As soon as Yu Lei finished speaking, a loud bang erupted from within Demon Star Hou Qing's bronze coffin.

Hou Qing's coffin lid was struck heavily from the inside and flew directly into the air.

As the coffin lid came off, a power filled with Curse spread out from the bronze coffin.

"Hiss! Good, you two are now slandering me openly, aren't you?"

Hou Qing's voice was sharp and piercing; he didn't expect his reaction to be so strong.

However, the good times didn't last long; the faith tombstone sensed the anomaly in the bronze coffin and immediately emitted a burst of light, slowly closing the coffin lid again.

Creak, creak, creak!

Demon Star Hou Qing desperately clawed at the bronze coffin with his nails, but the coffin lid, under the influence of Power Of Faith, was tightly sealed on the coffin, not moving an inch.

"Don't waste your energy," Yin Lingzi, the God of Escape spoke, "We are, after all, outsiders. The Power Of Faith of this world will instinctively repel us. Without Song Zhong as a medium, it won't work."

"If you're just going to say disheartening things, you can shut up," Demon Star Hou Qing was annoyed, "If you ask me, once that brat fulfills the unlock conditions, we'll kill him.

Then we'll conquer this entire world. I'll turn it into a world filled with Curse Law. By then, we'll be able to anchor ourselves."

"I object!" Star God Kua Fu rarely spoke out.

"We've just woken from slumber; dealing with those native gods and disgusting monsters is still too strenuous.

Moreover, you said you want to transform this place into a Curse world? Heh heh, you yourself can anchor, but what about us?"

The noise from Demon Star Hou Qing's bronze coffin quieted down a bit.

"Haha, I was just giving an example. We've been together for so many years. If I get anchored, doesn't that mean you all do too? Why distinguish so clearly? Haha."

Demon Star Hou Qing explained guiltily.

"Hmph, you underworld creature, you never harbored good intentions. If Silver Spirit intended to transform this place into an illusionary world, I might consider it, but you, I don't trust."

Star God Kua Fu paused, then seemed to suddenly remember something and added, "Um, when I said 'underworld,' I was only referring to Hou Qing, Shen Tu, and Yu Lei, not you guys, ha!"

Shen Tu and Yu Lei smiled without speaking.

Silver Spirit said with dissatisfaction, "Why do you drag me into your arguments? It doesn't matter what happens to this world anyway; everything is illusory, and only illusion is eternal!"

Listening to Silver Spirit's Buddhist-like, laid-back rhetoric, Star God Kua Fu was also speechless. Silver Spirit was good in every aspect, but he just lacked drive.

"Hey, hey, hey! Our arguing like this is meaningless," Water God Gonggong spoke, "Tell me what you mean now, Shen Tu and Yu Lei. Didn't we agree to act only after Lord Chi You was unsealed?"

Hearing Gonggong's questioning, Shen Tu and Yu Lei fell silent.

The other coffin dwellers also quieted down, just wanting to hear what the two of them would say.

"We... can't wait any longer..."

"You're not speaking clearly; let me do it!" Yu Lei interrupted Shen Tu's speech.

"As everyone can see, according to the original plan, we were supposed to wait for Lord Chi You to be unsealed.

But as you can also see, the original plan did not include this faith tombstone."

"Hmph! It's merely the instinctive resistance of this world, nothing more," Wind Master Feilian said disdainfully.

"Instinct? You're just too arrogant; that's why you ended up so miserable back then." Yu Lei mercilessly exposed Fei Lian's weakness.

"You..." Fei Lian's words were on the tip of his tongue but swallowed back. There was nothing he could do; what he said was the truth.

Seeing Fei Lian no longer speak, Yu Lei continued, "Since changes have already occurred, it would be inappropriate for us to stick to the old ways. Moreover, this change might just be this world's instinct, a means to counteract us."

"That makes sense, continue!" Rain Master Pingyi said.

"So, we plan to strike first, preemptively strip this world of its Reincarnation Law, and then slowly devour this world bit by bit."

"Heh heh, that sounds good, but how do we know that once you succeed, you won't turn on us? To put it bluntly, if you gain the upper hand, even Lord Chi You might not be your match then."

Demon Star Hou Qing said indignantly, "I seriously suspect you two want to go it alone."

In Demon Star Hou Qing's perception, there are two types of people he dislikes most in this world: those who go it alone without him, and those who go it alone without him and succeed.

Shen Tu and Yu Lei's plan was highly feasible, and it was already showing some results. The Ghost Country that Song Zhong had created was the prototype of the Netherworld.

It seemed these two had long been in cahoots with Song Zhong.

"I will not make any promises, because you do not trust me. Without Lord Chi You, I fear we would fight amongst ourselves."

No one dared to refute Yu Lei's words, because the bronze coffins present were personally crafted by Lord Chi You.

The purpose was both to protect these individuals and, for them, it was also a form of restraint.

"But I feel that just sitting here and waiting for death is something Shen Tu and I cannot accept.

Before the appearance of this faith tombstone, we could still control Song Zhong, but after the intervention of this world's Power Of Faith, the nature of things has completely changed.

Don't you think this world is using Song Zhong's body to contend with us? We underestimated this world before."

Wind Master Feilian was a little confused, "Yu Lei, aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill? This is merely a precarious Minor Thousand Worlds."

"But aren't we also only able to barely survive by choosing such a Minor Thousand Worlds to anchor ourselves? Fei Lian, you still haven't gotten rid of your arrogant habit."
