An Jing sat down on the ground, her big eyes full of confusion.

Her father is her brother?

What kind of outrageous background is this?

The old man simply sat cross-legged in front of An Jing.

"Child, do you now understand why I asked you to come down to earth to do this mission?"

An Jing shook her head and nodded: "I don't know...but I know."

The old man: "Tell me about it."

An Jing couldn't sit still, so she stood up and walked around, saying, "It should be related to the luck of mortals, but I'm not the god of luck, so what does it have to do with me? You should let the immortals who are in charge of luck come down to the mortal world to see what a mess the mortal world is in now."

The Heavenly Emperor said that the Lord of Qingming had passed away, and the one who is in charge of destiny now is Xihe. In this case, Xihe should be allowed to come down to do this task.

No, Xihe seemed to have fainted. I don’t know if she is awake now?

The old man watched An Jing turning around in front of him without getting tired of it, and no matter how she turned, the old man always stayed one meter away from her.

"Although you are not the God of Luck, do you know that the chaos in the Three Realms is also related to you?"

An Jing suddenly stopped and looked at him in shock: "How could this have anything to do with me? I didn't do anything!"

No matter how much trouble she caused, she never came to the mortal world to cause trouble. She can't take the blame for this!

The old man stroked his beard and conjured up another scroll. As soon as it was unfolded, the sound of fierce fighting was heard.

The sky was filled with gunpowder smoke and the ground was covered with corpses. Everyone in the painting was blood-thirsty. Countless black shadows were constantly tumbling in the air. They were watched helplessly as the black shadows gradually grew larger, as if they were about to swallow up everything.

Just above the black shadow, the four sacred beasts, the dragon, phoenix, turtle and unicorn, each displayed their magical powers and fought against the black shadow, but it took a long time to determine the winner, and some even tended to fall below as the black shadow grew larger.

At the critical moment, a mighty and domineering Pixiu with a dark body appeared out of nowhere. The Pixiu opened its big mouth and swallowed all the black shadows into its belly. The sky gradually became clear again, and the war below gradually stopped.

The old man said: "In ancient times, the three realms were in constant conflict. In the flames of war, evil spirits grew. Evil spirits feed on emotions such as resentment, desire, and fear. In order to obtain more nutrients, evil spirits lost the minds of the people, causing the war to intensify. In order to help the three realms restore order, I created the first Pixiu and named it Baijie."

"Bai Jie was born on orders to eliminate evil spirits and demons, bringing peace to the Three Realms. All living beings were grateful for Bai Jie's kindness and offered him incense. Bai Jie was believed in by the Three Realms and was able to achieve eternal life."

"However, with the passage of time, the evil spirits disappeared. The three realms gradually stopped worshipping Baijie, and completely forgot that Pixiu was originally one of the auspicious beasts and the nemesis of evil spirits. They only remembered its ability to guard wealth and begged it to protect yellow and white things."

"The Baijie originally existed because of faith. Now that faith is gone, the Baijie will soon perish."

An Jing was shocked: "Are you saying my father is going to die?"

The old man paused and said, "He is not your father."

An Jing couldn't believe it: "So he's really going to die?"

The old man said: "If the Three Realms no longer need him to exorcise evil spirits, then there will be no faith and worship, and he will naturally die."

An Jing panicked and remained silent for a long time before she gradually calmed down: "So, I'm going to die too, right? I'm also a Pixiu."

The old man stood up and said, "No, you are different from Baijie. Child, do you know what the word Chengjun means?"

An Jing just thought it sounded unpleasant and didn't think about its deeper meaning.

"Chengjun was born with the mandate of heaven. You have assumed the duty and responsibility. Since your birth, you have been responsible for protecting the three realms. Baijie was born because of the people's request, but you were born because of evil spirits. As long as the evil spirits stop, you will not be destroyed."

An Jing hesitated and said, "Didn't you say that the evil spirit is gone?"

The old man asked back: "You have met it, haven't you?"

An Jing was stunned.

So those people are possessed by evil spirits?

The old man said: "Evil spirits are not a specific thing, but a general term for all invisible and intangible evil things. Billions of years have passed, and the Three Realms no longer believe in Baijie, and Baijie also feels that his divine power is gradually disappearing, and gradually hides himself from the world."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "Thousands of years ago, for some reason he escaped and took you away, and only then did he reappear in front of the world."

An Jing was speechless: "..." Still holding a grudge at this time?

The old man continued, "During the years when Baijie was in seclusion, the desire for power and wealth, the greed for life, and the fear of death of the sentient beings in the three realms gave rise to new evil creatures."

"This evil creature loves the evil thoughts and fears of mortals the most, and feeds on them. Thousands of years have passed, and it has gradually taken shape and gained a certain amount of magical power, bewitching mortals with unstable minds. Mortals voluntarily offer their beliefs to it, and it satisfies their desires."

An Jing suddenly remembered: "That faceless Buddha?"

The old man looked at her with appreciation and continued, "This is only part of it. For those who have the deepest evil thoughts and are willing to do anything to get what they want, it will use the faceless Buddha as a medium to deceive them into serving it and sign some kind of contract with them, stealing other people's luck for its own use and achieving its wishes."

"Nowadays, it seems that it has become a common practice for people in the lower world to worship evil things."

"And you, my child. You were created by me to eliminate all evil in the world and maintain order in the three realms. However, Baijie kidnapped you and educated you so that you didn't even know your responsibilities. You only knew how to covet the treasures of heaven and earth with him. Therefore, the evil spirits in the lower realms are unrestrained and are becoming more rampant."

"The common people in the mortal world suffer greatly. Those who are loyal and honest do not have a good end. Those who have great merits have a miserable old age. Kindness is exploited. Hard work is ignored. Hard work becomes a laughing stock. And if one is willing to abandon morality and take the crooked path, relying on deception, plunder, and unscrupulous means to make money, the evil creature will give such people the luck of others."

"If this continues, good people will disappear and evil will proliferate. Everyone will become food for evil, and the three realms will never have peace."
