Chapter 488 An Uninvited Guest! Resurrecting Hongyun?
Niu Ben still had a good impression of Zhen Yuanzi.
Long before the cross-world war, Emperor Huangtian personally went to Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain and found Zhen Yuanzi.
Finally, after some persuasion, Zhen Yuanzi was invited to join the human race. Later, Zhen Yuanzi also crossed the boundary with the human army to the Devouring Universe Realm, where he helped the human race gain considerable military merits!
Although Niu Ben was not of human origin, he had a great connection with humans.
Putting aside everything else, the human emperor Huang Tian and the ancestor of literature Cangjie were both his disciples.
Since Zhen Yuanzi had returned to the human race, Niu Ben naturally had a good impression of him.
Upon hearing what Niu Ben said, Zhen Yuanzi smiled slightly.
The reason I addressed Niu Ben as a senior just now was because Niu Ben's strength was undeniable.
During the previous war between the Lich King and the Demon King, Niu Ben made a move and killed the newly promoted Saint Demon Emperor Di Jun with just one punch, directly confirming his status as the number one Saint.
Faced with such an existence, Zhen Yuanzi naturally felt awe.
Secondly, he came to see Niu Ben because he needed something from him, so he should be polite.
After a moment of silence, Zhen Yuanzi pursed his lips and spoke:
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben's heart is truly admirable!"
Niu Ben smiled faintly and asked:
"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, what brings you to my Underworld at this time?"
Upon hearing Niu Ben's question, Zhen Yuanzi's expression immediately turned solemn.
He paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and then said with an embarrassed expression:
"To be honest, the reason I've come to the underworld is... I have a favor to ask of you, Fellow Daoist Niu Ben."
"Oh?"
Niu Ben feigned surprise and said:
"What is it that Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi seeks?"
Zhen Yuanzi paused for a moment, then slowly began to speak:
"As you know, fellow Daoist, Hongyun and I are good brothers."
"It's a pity that Hongyun was ambushed and attacked by the demon master Kunpeng and others, and in the end... he self-destructed and perished."
At this point, Zhen Yuanzi sighed helplessly.
The thought of Hong Yunyunluo fills him with unease.
When he sensed that Hongyun was being besieged by the demon master Kunpeng and others, he immediately went to provide support.
Although Hongyun was unharmed when they arrived at the scene, the appearance of Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi blocked Zhenyuanzi.
That's why Zhen Yuanzi watched helplessly as his good brother Hongyun self-destructed and perished in front of him.
After Hong Yunyun fell, Zhen Yuanzi also collected a wisp of Hong Yunyun's true spirit on the spot.
That true spirit was extremely weak, almost dissipating, but Zhen Yuanzi sealed it within the ginseng fruit tree and nurtured it with the power of the Earth Book, and countless years have passed since then.
Not long ago, the will of Heaven revealed that the human race would produce three sovereigns and five emperors.
Nuwa's elder brother, Fuxi, was reincarnated as a human and became the Heavenly Emperor, one of the Three Sovereigns of the human race.
After learning about these things from the Human Emperor Huangtian, Zhen Yuanzi immediately thought of Niu Ben.
If Niu Ben could enable Fuxi's true spirit to be reincarnated as a human, wouldn't that mean he could also enable his brother Hongyun to be reincarnated as a human?
If Hongyun could be reincarnated as one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race, it would be an immense blessing for him!
After a moment's thought, Zhen Yuanzi continued:
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben."
"After my brother Hongyun fell, I collected a wisp of his true spirit."
"Throughout these endless years, I have been nurturing its true spirit."
As he spoke, Zhen Yuanzi raised his hand and waved it, and a pale red light flew out from his sleeve and hovered in mid-air.
The light was as faint as a candle flickering in the wind, and a blurry figure could be vaguely seen inside.
The figure was curled up, as if asleep, or as if it might disappear at any moment.
Even so, one can still sense a subtle Taoist charm that is free-spirited, uncontested, and detached from worldly affairs.
It was the remnant true spirit of Hongyun.
"Um?"
Upon seeing this, Niu Ben was slightly surprised and stared intently at the faint light.
After a moment of silence, he slowly said:
"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, do you intend to... revive Fellow Daoist Hongyun?"
While saying this aloud, Niu Ben was secretly thinking to himself:
"Just as I suspected, Zhen Yuanzi came to me to revive Hongyun."
Having learned that Zhen Yuanzi had come to the underworld, Niu Ben guessed that Zhen Yuanzi was most likely there because of Hongyun.
Upon hearing what Niu Ben said, Zhen Yuanzi nodded heavily and said:
"Exactly!"
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben, I have waited countless years, and now I have finally obtained an opportunity to revive Hongyun."
"The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race were born by the grace and destiny of Heaven."
"If one can become one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race, one can use that immense merit and fortune to rebuild one's foundation, reunite one's soul, and completely revive Hongyun!"
"And reincarnation is a crucial step in gaining a new life."
"If Hongyun can be reincarnated as a human and attain the position of one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, he can borrow the fortune of the human race and the merits of the Heavenly Dao to reaffirm his Dao fruit!"
At this point, Zhen Yuanzi paused slightly, his face flushing slightly with excitement.
Then, he took a deep breath, looked directly at Niu Ben, and said with pleading eyes:
"Zhen Yuanzi earnestly begs fellow Daoist to help Hongyun reincarnate!"
"Let him dedicate himself to humanity and become one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race!"
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben did not rush to reply. He silently looked at the faint true spirit, then at Zhen Yuanzi's earnest gaze, his mind racing.
Just as he was pondering this, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind:
【Ding! 】
[The critical event "Reincarnation of Hongyun" has been detected, triggering a divine choice quest!]
Option 1: Help Hongyun's true spirit reincarnate, enabling her to enter the human realm and guiding her to become one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
[Quest Reward: Pangu's Essence Blood x1]
[Note: This essence blood is a drop of primordial essence blood containing the power of Pangu in creating the world. It can greatly enhance physical strength and bloodline purity, and is of great help in comprehending the Heavenly Dao Realm.]
Option Two: Refuse Zhen Yuanzi's request and do not interfere in this matter.
[Quest Reward: 1 Innate Spiritual Treasure]
"Oh?"
Upon hearing the system's notification, Niu Ben was secretly surprised.
I never expected that a god-level choice quest would be triggered at this time.
"Pangu's essence blood?"
Niu Ben pondered silently, knowing full well that this was an existence even more precious and fundamental than the essence blood of the Chaos Demon God!
After all, the great god Pangu created the world and transformed into all things.
Its essence and blood are among the most precious treasures in the world.
If he could obtain even a single drop, his Chaos Divine Ox true form would surely undergo another transformation, and his understanding of the Heavenly Dao Realm would advance even further!
As for innate spiritual treasures, they are no longer anything special to Niu Ben at this point.
It's utterly insignificant compared to the essence of Pangu's blood!
In addition, Niu Ben also knew that, according to the original trajectory, Hongyun was originally one of the three emperors of the human race.
After a moment's thought, a resolute glint flashed in Niu Ben's eyes, and with a thought, he made his choice:
"System, choose one!"
Then, Niu Ben's gaze sharpened, and he looked directly at Zhen Yuanzi.
