Chapter 240 My Father's Secret

I asked in shock, "How did my dad know I ate the Evil God's Relic?"

Wen Yile said, "Chunfeng did rush to save you back then, but unfortunately, he was too late. By that time, you had already swallowed the Evil God's Relic."

"An ordinary person would die instantly upon touching the Evil God's Relic. Without Chunfeng's help, you wouldn't have survived that night."

"Chunfeng guarded you until the moment before Qu Mo arrived, then quietly left because he didn't want to see Qu Mo."

I couldn't help but mutter to myself, "No wonder my master had a bit of resentment when he first saw me. So, he realized my dad had left early."

I looked up and asked, "According to you, the Evil God's Relic had already been sent to the Reincarnation Department, so how did it end up in my dad's hands?"

Wen Yile said, "Back then, Chunfeng had some resentment towards Qu Mo, but he didn't want to see him die in the Reincarnation Department's Black Prison. After he sneaked into the Black Prison and rescued Qu Mo, he took advantage of the Reincarnation Department's experts chasing Qu Mo to steal the Evil God's Relic."

"Because, from beginning to end during the Iron Peak Temple battle, only Qu Mo had come into contact with the Evil God's Relic. Chunfeng couldn't determine the relic's authenticity either. He only became suspicious after you swallowed the relic."

Wen Yile looked at me and said, "If you swallowed the Evil God's Relic, then you should be a demigod, not a demi-ghost. That's why Chunfeng suspected the relic was fake."

"But at the time, Chunfeng had no way to investigate the result, so he could only leave temporarily."

I pressed, "Was my dad trying to help me resist a fierce god back then? What exactly is my fate? Why did my dad change my fate?"

"I don't know!" Wen Yile shook his head. "Chunfeng never mentioned this to me. However, I can tell you that your father also worked for the Underworld, and his status was extremely high. He received Yama's special permission to change your fate."

"Even Hei Bai Wuchang (Black and White Impermanence) may not know your father's identity. Don't talk carelessly about your father's affairs."

I forced down the shock in my heart and said, "When was the last time you saw my dad?"

"Around the time you completed your apprenticeship!" Wen Yile said, "At that time, I heard Chunfeng mention that he was coming back to help you ward off disaster."

"Your master also helped you ward off disaster back then."

I remembered, my master brought the Nine Ghosts down the mountain and had a great battle with the fierce god.

Did my dad come back that time too?

Wen Yile said, "Not long after that, Chunfeng found me and asked me to enter the Reincarnation Department to find the truth."

"If I want to enter the Reincarnation Department, I must find an opportunity. Moreover, I can't arouse the suspicion of the Reincarnation Department. The reason I haven't acted is because there hasn't been a suitable opportunity."

I said in a deep voice, "The opportunity you're talking about is the bet between me and the Coffin Gate?"

"Yes!" Wen Yile said, "If I want to enter the Reincarnation Department, Zhu Zining has to personally beg me. Only in this way will it not arouse suspicion from others. I gave the secret treasure that should have been given to the Chosen One to Jiang Junci in order to win this opportunity."

I took a deep breath and said, "So, the mission you mentioned is real? The transmission of the secret treasure is also real?"

"Of course it's real. Otherwise, I can't deceive the Reincarnation Department." Wen Yile said, "But the Reincarnation Department is also wary of me. I need some time to find out the secrets of that year."

I narrowed my eyes slightly, "Are those your only purposes for entering the Reincarnation Department?"

Wen Yile said, "I've already said, I can't reveal my true purpose for entering the Reincarnation Department. I can't say who sent me here either! So, you shouldn't ask!"

After I nodded, Wen Yile said, "This time, your conflict with the Reincarnation Department almost disrupted my plan, but for me, it's also an opportunity. If I seize it well, it might be the beginning of me entering the upper echelons of the Reincarnation Department. But..."

Wen Yile paused and said, "After this trip to the snow mountain, don't go looking for trouble with the Reincarnation Department for the time being, especially don't start another conflict with the Reincarnation Department."

"First, you are not yet a match for the Reincarnation Department. If the Reincarnation Department were to deal with you with all its might, the Two Worlds Hall would definitely suffer a devastating blow. At that time, even if you yourself could escape, the others would be doomed."

"Second, there will be a major change in the Reincarnation Department after the battle on the snow mountain. Don't disrupt this change. I need to obtain a higher status. Do you understand?"

I nodded, "I understand what you mean! But..."

Wen Yile said, "I know you're worried about Chunfeng's safety. The place he went to is a forbidden zone that you can't access right now. You need to plan slowly."

I waved my hand and said, "That's not what I meant. I meant, I won't go looking for trouble with the Reincarnation Department. But what if the Reincarnation Department keeps targeting me?"

"That's what I was going to say." Wen Yile said, "I just said that the upper echelons of the Reincarnation Department haven't lost many people. If they don't die, I won't have the chance to advance. So, I need you to do me a small favor."

I nodded and said, "Who do you want me to kill?"

"I don't know the exact positions of the upper echelons of the Reincarnation Department yet. I'll tell you when I find a chance." Wen Yile said, "After you find the opportunity, kill as many people as possible. The greater their losses, the more chances I have to approach Zhu Zining."

Wen Yile said in a deep voice, "But, remember, there is one person you must kill. Her name is Feng Xin, and she is Zhu Zining's right-hand woman. Only by killing her will Zhu Zining seek other support."

To all book friends: Happy New Year, may all your wishes come true, good health, and all the best.
