At dusk, outside the Taoist temple.
Yibai was explaining to King Qinguang about the events that unfolded in Fu County.
He specifically asked about the 'birth numbers' and 'death numbers'.
When he mentioned these two figures, King Qinguang was utterly baffled.
"Grand Marshal, these births and deaths are recorded in the Book of Life and Death. Three hundred and sixty-five years later in the Mortal Realm, when the Heavenly Emperor convenes the Flat Peach Festival, we ten kings go to verify and amend the records with the Northern and Southern Dipper Lords. These figures are predefined, but it's not like as soon as someone is born somewhere, the births and deaths tally up there."
King Qinguang explained, bowing.
In his eyes as he looked at Yibai, there was also a sense of reverence.
He knew that the man before him, once the Chen God, now held command over 110,000 Celestial Soldiers and had a host of deities under his leadership as the Grand Marshal.
