Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Grand Hall.

Elder Bai was speaking with Xi Huang, when he saw Lin Yuan and the Peacock Great Ming King walk out.

"Xi Huang, let’s go!" The Peacock Great Ming King approached Xi Huang and said proactively.

Seeing everything proceed smoothly, Xi Huang smiled.

"Thank you, thank you!" Xi Huang cupped his hands towards Lin Yuan and then prepared to leave with the Peacock Great Ming King.

After taking a few steps, Xi Huang suddenly remembered that Lin Yuan still hadn’t returned the copper mirror for contacting Wa Huang.

"Lin Yuan, where’s my copper mirror?"

"That copper mirror isn’t much of a treasure, it can only be used to contact Wa Huang, keeping it serves you no purpose." Xi Huang explained that the copper mirror wasn’t anything special, hoping Lin Yuan would give it back to him.

"Keep it? I’m not trying to romance Wa Huang, what’s the use of keeping a mirror to contact her?" Lin Yuan replied irritably.

Xi Huang: "?????"

Xi Huang thought, if you don’t want that mirror, then return it to me!

"Well..."

"Where is my mirror?" Xi Huang asked tentatively.

Lin Yuan glanced at Xi Huang and coldly said, "Wa Huang’s words are unlikable, so in a fit of anger, I threw that mirror into the Void Turbulence."

Xi Huang: "?????"

"Threw it away?" Xi Huang reiterated.

Lin Yuan nodded: "Really threw it away!"

Since Lin Yuan said it was lost, Xi Huang didn’t pursue it further.

The mirror wasn’t truly valuable; losing it was akin to an average person misplacing a phone.

After Xi Huang left with the Peacock Great Ming King, Lin Yuan hurriedly said to Elder Bai, "Elder Bai, I must visit the Underworld again; I’ll leave things here to you."

Elder Bai also noticed that ever since Lin Yuan communicated with Wa Huang, his complexion seemed off.

"Someone has planted a nail in our backyard...no, it’s a bomb."

"I must find this bomb; otherwise, I won’t have peace!" Lin Yuan then informed Elder Bai about the news of Dao Ancestor’s reincarnation.

Upon hearing this, Elder Bai was extremely serious.

"Alas!" Elder Bai sighed and said, "I’m afraid, the only one who can find Dao Ancestor is the one in the Underworld."

Dao Ancestor is Tier One, and the most mysterious among the Four Great Primordial Spirits.

Before his reincarnation, he must have left numerous precautions to prevent being found.

Now, the only hope is Yin Celestial Son.

Because, when Dao Ancestor reincarnated, the one with the most hope of proving the Dao was the World Honored.

Even though Dao Ancestor left numerous precautions, they were aimed at the World Honored.

To Dao Ancestor, Yin Celestial Son is a variable.

"Let’s hope so!"

"If Yin Celestial Son can find Dao Ancestor, it would be best!"

"If not, we’ll have to find another way." Lin Yuan said solemnly.

...

...

"Yin Celestial Son!"

"Yin Celestial Son!"

"Yin Celestial Son!"

After calling Yin Celestial Son’s name three times, the familiar Ghost Gate appeared before Lin Yuan.

This time, after entering the Ghost Gate, Lin Yuan didn’t wander around but waited at the gate for a "ride" to pick him up.

Lin Yuan knew that Yin Celestial Son was in charge of the Underworld; the moment he entered, Yin Celestial Son would be aware and would surely send Ox Head and Horse Face to pick him up.

Sure enough, not long after, a cloud of dust rose from the end of Yellow Springs Road, where he could vaguely see an ox and a horse galloping towards him.

Ox Head and Horse Face, they’re competing for passengers.

This time, Lin Yuan came alone.

With only Lin Yuan, he could only ride one.

For Ox Head and Horse Face, carrying the distinguished lord into the Underworld was a great honor.

Thus, they both galloped forward, hoping to reach Lin Yuan first.

In the end, Horse Face’s speed proved slightly better.

"Esteemed Elder, please hop on, I’ll carry you!" Horse Face said with a fawning expression.

By now, Ox Head had also caught up and said, "Esteemed Elder, ride me; my back is spacious."

Seeing Ox Head so audacious, Horse Face got anxious, "Ox Head, don’t be excessive; everything has its order, I reached Esteemed Elder first."

But Ox Head had his arguments!

He confidently said, "Esteemed Elder can ride whoever he wishes, are you trying to decide for him?"

"You..."

"You... you’re talking nonsense, how dare I decide for Esteemed Elder!" Horse Face, frustrated by Ox Head’s accusation, wished he could kick him.

Watching the bickering Ox Head and Horse Face, Lin Yuan mediated, "I always spread my favors evenly. Last time I rode Ox Head, this time I’ll ride Horse Face."

"Next time, I’ll ride Ox Head again. You two should take turns, don’t strain your relationship."

Lin Yuan’s fair decision made both Ox Head and Horse Face agree, "Esteemed Elder is fair!"

"Esteemed Elder, fair indeed."

Horse Face, invigorated as if on adrenaline, galloped fiercely with Lin Yuan on his back.

They crossed Naihe Bridge, climbed Yin Mountain, passed the Ten Halls, and reached the deepest part of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Yin Celestial Son, still overseeing the Underworld’s core, motioned for Lin Yuan to sit when he arrived.

After Ox Head and Horse Face left, Yin Celestial Son first asked, "Has the Peacock Great Ming King left?"

"Yes!" Lin Yuan nodded before adding, "I learned an important piece of news from Wa Huang."

"One of the Four Great Primordial Spirits, Dao Ancestor, has reincarnated..."

After Lin Yuan finished, Yin Celestial Son asked, "Do you want to find him?"

"Yes!" Lin Yuan answered without hesitation.

"It’s simple!" Yin Celestial Son replied, indifferent.

Simple?

Lin Yuan considered that Yin Celestial Son might have a method to find Dao Ancestor.

But it would require thorough investigation and many resources to discover Dao Ancestor.

After all, Dao Ancestor was an old Tier One, and renowned for his secrecy.

Lin Yuan never expected Yin Celestial Son to claim it was simple.

"How long will it take to find Dao Ancestor?" Lin Yuan continued to ask.

Yin Celestial Son replied, "Now."

Now?

"Really?" Lin Yuan wore an incredulous expression.

Yin Celestial Son looked at Lin Yuan and said, "Have you forgotten the Book of Life and Death?"

"The names of all living beings are recorded in the Book of Life and Death."

"Dao Ancestor hails from the Void; even if he reincarnates as a human, his True Spirit originates from the Void. If I’m correct, his name isn’t in the Book of Life and Death."

"We just need to compare the Book of Life and Death with people in the world; the one not listed is Dao Ancestor reincarnated."

The Book of Life and Death.

Of course!

With the Book of Life and Death, Dao Ancestor’s reincarnation is no longer a secret.

Variable, that is the significance of Yin Celestial Son’s existence as a variable.

When Dao Ancestor reincarnated, he never foresaw that Yin Celestial Son would prove the Dao, let alone the existence of the Book of Life and Death.
