Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Black and White Impermanence lifted the messenger from the Void Race onto Yellow Springs Road as if they were carrying a pig for the New Year feast.

On Yellow Springs Road, the duo of Black and White Impermanence were cheerfully content.

Despite the twists and turns, the task was accomplished, wasn’t it?

Hadn’t they taken the messenger of the Void Race to the Underworld?

On Yellow Springs Road, Black and White Impermanence’s feet moved swiftly, carrying the messenger of the Void Race with speed.

Soon, they arrived at the location of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

At the site of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Lin Yuan and the Yin Celestial Son sat opposite each other.

And there it was, Black and White Impermanence returning with what looked like a New Year pig.

Wait!

That thing didn’t seem like a New Year pig.

No, it was the messenger from the Void Race, tightly bound!

"No?"

"Is this how you usually hook souls?" Lin Yuan looked on with a face full of curiosity.

This soul-hooking process was different from what he saw in Journey to the West!

Could it be that the soul-hooking in Journey to the West was false?

Before his eyes, was this the real soul-hooking?

At the same time, the Yin Celestial Son had already discerned everything clearly.

"How did you bring it back?" the Yin Celestial Son inquired.

At these words from the Yin Celestial Son, Lin Yuan also understood in his heart.

It wasn’t about hooking a soul or even a True Spirit.

They had brought the whole entity here!

White Impermanence looked troubled as he explained to his superior, "It has no soul, nor any True Spirit, so it simply couldn’t be hooked."

"We were afraid of delaying your matters, so we took it upon ourselves to bind it entirely and bring it here."

Hearing White Impermanence say that the Void Race messenger had no soul or True Spirit,

The Yin Celestial Son gazed at the messenger of the Void Race, eyes wide and slowly rotating like two Six Paths Reincarnation Discs.

After examining the messenger from the Void Race, the Yin Celestial Son confirmed that White Impermanence spoke the truth.

The messenger from the Void Race truly lacked a soul and True Spirit.

Since there was neither soul nor True Spirit, it was no wonder Black and White Impermanence brought it entirely bound.

In this, they did nothing wrong.

"This task was done well!"

"You two may withdraw now!" the Yin Celestial Son said slowly, gesturing for Black and White Impermanence to leave.

Hearing the praise from the Yin Celestial Son, Black and White Impermanence were overjoyed.

The Yin Celestial Son did not reprimand them but praised them instead.

This indicated that their actions were meritorious rather than faulty!

After Black and White Impermanence left, the Yin Celestial Son waved his hand, and the messenger of the Void Race flew to the front of the Stone of Three Lives.

The Stone of Three Lives can reveal the target’s past and present.

Before the Stone of Three Lives, every aspect of the Void Race messenger would no longer be a secret.

The Stone of Three Lives first revealed the past life, however, an unexpected scene unfolded.

After illuminating the messenger from the Void Race, the Stone of Three Lives showed no change; no image appeared on the stone.

Lin Yuan: "????"

Lin Yuan looked bewildered, wondering if the Stone of Three Lives was broken.

"No image?"

"Why is it like this?" Lin Yuan asked, looking at the Yin Celestial Son.

The Yin Celestial Son, however, responded calmly and unhurriedly: "This is normal, as I predicted."

"If I am not mistaken, not only his past life but his coming one will also be blank."

As the Yin Celestial Son’s words fell, he waved his hand, and the Stone of Three Lives stopped reflecting the past life of the Void Race messenger and began to reflect his coming life instead.

Just as the Yin Celestial Son had mentioned, the Stone of Three Lives remained unchanged, showing no image on the stone.

"What is going on here?"

"Can’t see it, didn’t we exhaust ourselves for nothing?" Lin Yuan said helplessly.

"Not at all!"

"Not at all!" The Yin Celestial Son shook his head and said, "Can’t see the past and coming lives, but we can look at the present life, can’t we!"

With this, the Yin Celestial Son waved again, and this time, the Stone of Three Lives began to reflect the present life of the Void Race messenger.

This time, images appeared on the Stone of Three Lives.

On the screen was an almost endless array of void creatures, the embryos from the Void Race messenger’s mouth.

These embryos were born in the void, and before finding a replication target, they lacked consciousness, only knowing how to wander within the void.

As time passed, countless void creatures perished one after another, among them, one void creature fortuitously encountered Brahma, one of the Four Great Disciples under the Buddha.

This void creature was precisely the messenger from the Void Race before us, who succeeded in becoming a real member of the Void Race.

What followed was an endless timeline of the Void Race’s grand escape scene.

Disciple of the Demon Lord came to hunt them, and the Void Race was fleeing.

Disciples of the Buddha came to hunt them, and the Void Race was still fleeing.

Disciples of Wa Huang came to hunt them, and the Void Race continued fleeing.

The Daoist Ancestor, among the Four Great Primordial Spirits, seemed uninterested in the Void Race.

Lin Yuan concluded that for countless years, the Void Race was either fleeing or on the run.

Constant fleeing led the Void Race members to dwindle, and now they are on the brink of extinction.

The current messenger of the Void Race was luckier, surviving until now without being slain by Brahma.

Moreover, during his flight, he repeatedly encountered Brahma and replicated nearly 70-80% of Brahma’s being.

"It seems everything he said is true!"

"In this light, the Void Race and Wa Huang, Demon Lord, and Buddha truly hold deep animosity!"

"Without joining forces with us, the Void Race genuinely face annihilation," Lin Yuan said slowly after watching the images on the Stone of Three Lives.

Then, Lin Yuan remained puzzled and asked, "But I can’t understand why he has no past or future lives!"

"Past and future lives require a soul or True Spirit."

"They possess neither a soul nor a True Spirit, thus they lack past and future lives!" the Yin Celestial Son explained to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan suddenly realized, nodding: "So, they only have one life. And that life is spent in slaughter and escape."

With that, Lin Yuan felt the Void Race was rather pitiable.

For a moment, he felt a sense of sympathy for the Void Race.

However, Lin Yuan quickly cast aside this sympathy.

He sympathizes with the Void Race, but who sympathizes with them!

The Void Race was useful to Wa Huang, Demon Lord, and Buddha, leading to their current plight.

To Wa Huang, Demon Lord, and Buddha, they, the myriad of races of heaven and earth, are also useful.

Without doubt, should they fall to Wa Huang, Demon Lord, and Buddha,

The present plight of the Void Race would be their future.

The current plight of the Void Race would be reflected in their future misfortunes.

As Lin Yuan contemplated these things, the voice of the Yin Celestial Son echoed in his ear: "I now know the true purpose of the Void Race!"
