Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

As the war entered its later stages, most of the demon gods had fallen. But the dead demon gods were not completely annihilated. The power and resentment they left behind turned into demons and plagues, repeatedly harassing all living beings. Finally, a great plague broke out.

The amber figure that looked like a little bear became increasingly busy.

Some people were unwilling to hide under the protection of the immortals and gods, and finally they found the Unrestrained Fire - using this never-ending flame to burn the corpses brought by the plague could prevent the spread of the plague. With the joint efforts of humans, immortals, and gods, the plague was finally quelled, but after that, there were fewer familiar figures around the Rock King.

Eradicating evil spirits was originally the duty of the Yakshas and the Thousand Rocks Army. However, a group of passionate people volunteered to learn some magic tricks to eliminate evil spirits and defend the way from the immortals, thus sharing some of the responsibilities and sufferings that were borne by the Yakshas and the Thousand Rocks Army.

When the Yunlai Sea was filled with huge rock spears, the source of the undercurrent in the sea was nailed dead by the spear tips that penetrated directly into the seabed, and the sad whale songs lingered around the rock spears, the war finally ended.

At the same time, another war broke out.

Emperor Rock King brought some immortals to Cuijue Slope, among whom was "Xiao" and three people who accidentally participated in this trial.

“All wars and disturbances in the world arise from the nine causes of human nature.”

The Rock King stood in mid-air, his braids moving without wind, the ends glowing orange. He waved his arms, and two huge rocks flew in from nowhere. He turned his wrists, as if he was painting in the air with a paintbrush, and pieces of stone peeled off the rocks. In a short while, the rocks turned into two statues of the Thousand Rock Army.

"Greed, attachment, staring, jealousy, anger, evil desire, pride, competition, turmoil..."

The immortals who followed worked together to activate their magic, and dark clouds from all directions slowly gathered towards Cuijue Slope. At the same time, Emperor Yan Wang controlled the stone statue with one hand and pointed the palm of his other hand towards the hill in front of him. The arm he stretched out appeared ink-colored, and at the same time, ancient and obscure patterns appeared.

Suddenly, the ground shook and a stone door appeared in the hill. The stone door opened wide, and the other side was dark and silent, and no one knew where it led to.

"These nine kinds of ordinary minds can both help the world and cause trouble in it. They never fade or die, and they last forever."

With a loud bang, two statues of Qianyan soldiers landed on both sides of the stone gate.

The dragon eyes of the Rock King lit up with golden light, and strands of golden light were drawn from the ground and gathered in front of Him. The light gathered more and more, dazzling and eye-catching. The light suddenly dissipated, revealing nine amber-like gems.

Even though they were so far apart, the three of them could still sense the thoughts surging in the gemstone - to prevent the pain of killing from happening again, to stop letting life flow into the earth in vain, and to welcome years of peace - this was the memory of the war that had just ended.

The Rock King looked at these gems, and scenes that were either familiar or unfamiliar were reflected in his eyes. Finally, he waved his hand gently, and the nine gems fell into the ground. The earth sighed, and silent air waves spread out, and his white robe was blown by the air waves.

Affected by this air wave, some immortals were knocked to the ground, and the immortal magic they were performing together naturally stopped.

Seeing the gathering dark clouds begin to dissipate, the rock circuit suddenly lit up behind the Rock King. The dark clouds gathered again, as if an invisible big net had caught them and restrained them above Cuijue Slope.

Inside Cuijue Slope, dark clouds loomed, and the atmosphere was heavy and gloomy. Outside Cuijue Slope, the sky was clear and everything was thriving.

Countless evil spirits emerged from the ground, howling, wailing, and screaming out vicious curses, like a dark tide, rushing towards the stone gate. Under the influence of such heavy hatred, the immortals showed painful expressions.

boom!

The ground shook, the stone door closed, and the sharp and piercing sound suddenly became much smaller, and the expressions of the immortals relaxed.

"Now, nine pillars are erected to pacify the world and put an end to disputes. I hope that there will be no more war in the world."

The calm voice of the Rock King echoed over the Cuijue Slope, suppressing the screams of the evil spirits. Countless points of light gathered in the air, condensing into huge stone pillars one after another.

He pressed down his palm, and the stone pillar smashed down with his movement, just like the day when the war ended. However, on that day, he threw down a rock spear, which suppressed the demons including the Whirlpool Demon God, but now, he threw down a stone pillar, which sealed the hatred of the dead.

With the stone pillar as the eye, a formation appeared on the ground. In an instant, the harsh sound coming from the other side of the stone gate stopped abruptly.

The Rock King stood with his hands behind his back, watching the formation disappear along with all the resentment, and he heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, the Lord of the Rocks took off his face that had been as cold as a stone for thousands of years.

……

"I suddenly envy the people here." Su Yunyan looked at the sky full of dark clouds. "They trust their immortals and gods wholeheartedly, and their immortals and gods are always responding to this trust. I really like this atmosphere of mutual support. In our place, people don't believe in immortals and gods from the bottom of their hearts, immortals don't believe in gods, and don't care about people, and gods despise all living things."

At this time, the immortals and gods gathered at Cuijue Slope had dispersed. Although the gathered resentful souls had been suppressed and sealed by the Rock King Emperor, the sky here was still gloomy, making people feel a little breathless.

"Has such a world really existed?" Helan Liuying suddenly asked.

"Maybe." Ling Xiao, who rarely joined in their conversation, spoke for the first time.

"Since there are memories related to it, it must have existed before." Qiu Liuyun raised a finger and lightly touched his lips. "However, we accidentally got into someone else's trial, just like accidentally reading someone else's diary. It's better not to tell anyone after we leave. It's not polite."

"Will anyone really believe what happened here? It feels like a fairy tale, a story that only exists in legends." Su Yunyan blinked, "By the way, where is Xiao from?"

"No matter where he comes from, he is our companion. He always has been, and he will be in the future... uh, should?" As he spoke, Qiu Liuyun suddenly lost his confidence and his voice dropped.

Helan Liuying cast a curious look: "What's wrong?"

"This... According to my understanding, after receiving the inheritance, the person will usually change." Glancing at Su Yunyan's eyes that dimmed in an instant, Qiu Liuyun suddenly forced a smile: "Ah, the place where the evil spirits are sealed is really not suitable for staying for a long time. I feel like my mood is getting worse. Let's go to another place to talk."

After the three people left, there was no one left on Cuijue Slope, only the sad wind circling between the stone pillars.

But the brutality of the battles that broke out in the mountains and rivers here is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Although the demons were suppressed in the sea and the evil spirits were sealed in the mountains, the power and hatred of the demons still remained in the land of Liyue, polluting the monsters, turning into evil spirits, and endangering the peace of the area.

So, after setting up the Nine Pillars to quell hatred and resentment, the Rock King Emperor called in the Yaksha clan. They swore to the Rock King to kill for the sake of protecting the Dharma and eliminate evil and suffering.

A thousand years are like a day.
