Chapter 791 - 785: The Origins of Nato

Underworld.

After forcefully ferrying Xi Huang across, Yang Jing brought Yang Jing back into the Underworld.

Yang Jing looked around and didn’t see Lin Yuan, thus realizing that Lin Yuan must have already entered the Void.

"A friend has arrived!"

"Please sit!" The Yin Celestial Son said to Yang Jing.

After Yang Jing sat down, the Yin Celestial Son looked at Peacock Great Ming King and said, "Great Ming King, you sit too."

The three of them sat on the mats separately, and the Yin Celestial Son slowly began, "This one has entered the Void, now we just need to observe quietly."

The three had little to chat about, when suddenly the Yin Celestial Son thought of something and said, "Lin Yuan once told me that you asked him to help investigate a person called Nato."

Upon hearing this, Peacock Great Ming King’s tone became excited, and he quickly asked, "Did you find anything?"

The Yin Celestial Son nodded and then shook his head, saying, "Found some clues, likely the last Vanguard Officer under the last Human King was abducted to Wa Huang’s Palace and had his memory erased."

"Of course, this is just a rough guess of the person, I’ve never seen this Nato, and cannot be a hundred percent sure."

Peacock Great Ming King was stunned, and immediately seized the keywords from the Yin Celestial Son’s words.

Having never seen him, thus unable to be a hundred percent sure.

In the sense of the Yin Celestial Son, if he has seen him, then could he be a hundred percent certain?

"Yin Celestial Son, if you see Nato, would you be able to confirm his identity?" Peacock Great Ming King asked with hopeful anticipation.

"Indeed, if I see him, and let him reflect on my Stone of Three Lives, everything will be clear!" Speaking here, the Yin Celestial Son regretfully said, "However, I cannot enter the Void, I’m afraid I cannot meet this Nato."

Yang Jing and Peacock Great Ming King, when forcibly took Nato away, it was right when the Yin Celestial Son was sending Lin Yuan into the Returning Ruins.

Back then, Peacock Great Ming King was under the responsibility of Yang Jing, and the Yin Celestial Son’s attention was all on Lin Yuan.

Therefore, the Yin Celestial Son did not know that Yang Jing and Peacock Great Ming King had brought Nato.

Right now, Nato was in Yang Jing’s sleeve, and upon receiving a definite answer from the Yin Celestial Son, Peacock Great Ming King quickly looked towards Yang Jing.

Yang Jing waved his hand, and immediately, Nato appeared in front of the three.

When Nato was in Yang Jing’s sleeve earlier, all he saw was darkness.

Now, with light appearing in front of him, he looked around and couldn’t help but shiver.

The powerful figure who had just rendered him helpless.

The Yin Celestial Son.

Moreover, Senior Brother Kong.

Upon seeing Peacock Great Ming King, Nato’s expression stiffened, and tears flowed immediately. He stared at Peacock Great Ming King and choked, "Senior Brother Kong, you keep deceiving me over and over again!"

"I am truly disappointed in you."

Peacock Great Ming King felt deeply remorseful towards Nato.

Seeing Nato in this state, Peacock Great Ming King was momentarily speechless and powerless to argue.

Without waiting for Peacock Great Ming King to speak, Nato looked at the Yin Celestial Son and Yang Jing and said, "Though I may not be your match, I will not betray the Palace Master or Wa Huang’s Palace."

"If you want to kill, then kill; if you want to slice, then slice. I, Nato, will not even bat an eye."

Seeing Nato’s resolute demeanor, Yang Jing couldn’t help but nod in approval, "Small in stature, but certainly not lacking in bravery."

The Yin Celestial Son sat there, deliberately displaying a demeanor of unyielding anger, threatening Nato, "Since you seek death, very well, I’ll fulfill your wish!"

"However, I have a rule here that before dying, one must see what bad deeds they’ve done in life."

"I have a stone here; you can reflect upon it, and the good and evil of your this life will all be within the stone."

After finishing, the Yin Celestial Son caused the Stone of Three Lives to appear before Nato.

Nato didn’t know what the Stone of Three Lives was.

Thus, upon seeing the Stone of Three Lives, Nato hesitated and stood still in place, not moving.

"What?"

"Child, are you scared?"

"Boasting about being a disciple of Wa Huang’s Palace, is this all the courage a disciple of Wa Huang’s Palace has?" the Yin Celestial Son said disdainfully.

The Yin Celestial Son had truly grasped Nato’s character to the extreme.

If you were to kindly persuade Nato that looking into the Stone of Three Lives was for his own good, helping him find the memories of past lives, he might not believe it.

By then, it’s feared that only by forcibly acting against Nato, could you get Nato to seek the Stone of Three Lives.

At such a time to resort to force, Peacock Great Ming King might look on and be uneasy.

Now, the Yin Celestial Son used a provocational tactic, within just a few words, Nato fell for it.

"Hmph!" Nato snorted coldly, looked at the Yin Celestial Son, and defiantly said, "I’m not afraid of death; why would I fear this?"

"Just a broken stone, what’s the harm in reflecting upon it."

Upon finishing his speech, to prevent Yin Celestial Son from looking down on Wa Huang’s Palace disciples, Nato went quickly to the Stone of Three Lives.

As NATO stepped up to the Stone of Three Lives, an image appeared on the stone.

In the image was the battle between the Four Great Primordial Spirits and the Human King.

Above the skies, the last Human King Di Xin, single-handedly clashed against the Four Great Primordial Spirits.

On the ground, countless human race armies were resisting the disciples of the Four Great Primordial Spirits.

Among them was the Human Vanguard Officer that the Yin Celestial Son mentioned.

The perspective of the Stone of Three Lives switched to the viewpoint of the Human Vanguard Officer.

Without a doubt, this was Nato’s past life.

"It truly is him!"

"His past life was the Human Vanguard Officer named Li Nezha," the Yin Celestial Son said from aside.

The battle between the Human King and the Four Great Primordial Spirits ended in the Human King’s victory.

However, Vanguard Officer Li Nezha and many promising humans were abducted by Wa Huang, Buddha, and Demon Lord.

Only Daoist Ancestor did not take any action to abduct humans.

The Yin Celestial Son looked at Yang Jing, asking, "Did it seem like you didn’t favor taking disciples back then?"

Yang Jing smiled and replied, "Back then, I loved tranquility."

"Over countless years, I’ve only taken three disciples who resonant with me."

At this moment, the image on the Stone of Three Lives switched again.

All those humans abducted by Wa Huang had been forcibly brainwashed and taken as disciples.

Only one person persisted.

"I, Li Nezha, am born human, die human, and will never betray the Human King or the human race."

"If you wish to kill, then kill; if you wish to slice, then slice!" Facing Wa Huang, the Human Vanguard Officer Li Nezha stood with an upright spine, unwavering.

Wa Huang had never seen a human being with such resolute will; all her beguiling tactics were futile against this man.

Since gentle persuasion didn’t work, Wa Huang resorted to harsh measures.

Wa Huang ordered the Human Vanguard Officer to be hung at the gates of Wa Huang’s Palace, then ordered her disciples with knives, to gradually slice him alive.

Until all the flesh was peeled off his body, leaving just a mouth.

That mouth still proclaimed, "Born human, die human..."
