Chapter 195 We are willing to support you as the ruler
None of the souls entering the Netherworld were not evil during their lives.
This is also why King Yama was worried that many things would happen after the Barren Ancient Continent merged with the Netherworld.
These souls are too detestable; they committed many evil deeds in life and are not peaceful in the Netherworld after death.
Although the Netherworld is governed by King Yama,
This book is first published on the entire network.
However, most of the time, it is administered by Underworld Officials.
But, except for King Yama, the souls in the Netherworld don't seem to respect King Yama at all.
Underworld Officials?
Heh, they're specifically targeting Underworld Officials.
Since the Netherworld's birth so many years ago, many Overlords have appeared.
They are like feudal lords who dominated a region in ancient times; as long as King Yama, the old emperor, doesn't make a move, they can continue to live freely and unrestrained.
"Lord, we have finished investigating."
Other Underworld Officials quickly rushed over.
To King Yama's surprise, after these souls entered the Barren Ancient Continent, they actually did not attack the cultivators of the Barren Ancient Continent!
They didn't even have the desire to seize territory.
King Yama continuously expanded his divine sense, not only covering the entire Netherworld but also enveloping the entire Barren Ancient Continent.
Under this powerful perception ability, King Yama discovered in surprise.
Around the Ancient Heavenly Court and the Netherworld, the souls lay quietly under the sun.
They were like tourists sunbathing on a beach, free from various troubles, not worrying about unfinished tasks while enjoying the sunlight.
The souls were free; they lay under the sun, their skin began to grow, and their blood vessels began to pulsate.
"How is this possible?"
King Yama exclaimed in astonishment, "With their temperament, they didn't attack the cultivators of the Barren Ancient Continent?"
King Yama looked bewildered.
This isn't right!
These are all souls who committed many evil deeds!
Why are they now obediently lying on the ground sunbathing?
Who adjusted the souls of the Netherworld like this?
Across from him, Dragon God keenly noticed the change in King Yama's expression.
As the giant second only to King Yama in strength within the Netherworld, Dragon God also knew what the other party was thinking, and he also felt the change in the souls.
"King Yama, this time, you lost."
Dragon God sneered, "All along, you have suppressed the Netherworld souls under the command of the Ancestral God, preventing them from harming the Ancient Heavenly Court."
"But, what wrong have the souls committed? They just want to see the sun."
Dragon God did not think these souls had committed any major faults.
Although the Netherworld souls did many evil things during their lives, most of it was just competition in the cultivation world.
Tell me, which powerful expert with profound cultivation doesn't have blood on their hands?
Even the Heavenly Dao, when controlling the operation of rules, killed quite a few cultivators.
"King Yama, did you see clearly?"
Dragon God asked in a deep voice, "Souls were cultivators in life, and they can still get along with cultivators after death."
"By following orders to suppress the souls, you are actually trapping yourself and the entire Netherworld in the cage designed by the Ancestral God."
The Netherworld also has day and night, but the Netherworld's daytime has no sunlight.
The weather is gloomy, sometimes bright, but still gloomy.
"I..." King Yama narrowed his eyes, looking at Dragon God, not knowing what to say.
Dragon God hovered in mid-air, looking expressionlessly at Hua Gu, "Your contribution this time is significant; you allowed the Netherworld to witness the sun again."
"Come with me, I will never let the Netherworld fall into darkness again."
Regarding Dragon God's invitation, Hua Gu was silent for a long time, occasionally glancing towards King Yama's location.
"You wicked dragon, do you want to steal my person too?" King Yama angrily said, "The person I cultivated, you shall not take away."
Saying this, he opened his hand and grabbed Hua Gu.
Hua Gu did not resist; everything he possessed was related to King Yama.
Without King Yama's cultivation, he, Hua Gu, would not be where he is today.
Even if King Yama wanted him dead now, he would have no complaints.
"Stop looking at me like that."
King Yama said in a deep voice, "Put away that wronged look of yours; as an Underworld Official, you shouldn't have such an expression."
"Lord, you..." Hua Gu's eyes were startled; King Yama actually had no intention of punishing him?
He even called him an Underworld Official?
"Don't think I won't punish you." King Yama saw through Hua Gu's thoughts, "This God punishes you, from today onwards, constantly observe the souls in the Ancient Heavenly Court."
"Before order is re-established, if these souls arbitrarily invade the Ancient Heavenly Court, I will hold you accountable!"
Hua Gu cupped his hands, "Understood."
"Heh, what a pity." Dragon God said, "Two juniors, one is dead, and the other has returned to your side."
"However, the first one, I always feel like I have some impression of him, like I've seen him somewhere."
King Yama, his arch-rival, said, "How many years have you been dead? Where would you get an impression?"
"Go away." Dragon God said.
......
Yama Palace.
"Report! Northern Profound Overlord requests an audience!"
"Report! Buxu Overlord requests an audience!"
"Report! Zheye Overlord requests an audience!"
"......"
Loud voices came from outside the door, echoing in the main hall, lingering endlessly.
On the huge chair, King Yama leaned back, looking expressionlessly at the Overlords below in the main hall.
"Heh, after so many years, this is the first time I've seen all you Overlords gathered in the Yama Palace."
King Yama said, "What? Do you want to join forces to deal with me?"
Zheye Overlord chuckled, malevolent energy wrapped around him like large black snakes, "King Yama, after so many years, you still have the same temper."
"Stop talking nonsense, I get annoyed seeing you Overlords." King Yama said, "Usually useless, only fighting, and occasionally causing me big troubles, like new star souls at True God completion..."
Northern Profound Overlord cupped his hands and said, "We have come this time not to ask you to clean up our mess."
The Overlords also knew clearly in their hearts that although they were powerful, there were many things they still couldn't resolve, and they could only rely on King Yama's power.
"If you have something to say, say it. If you have something to release, release it."
King Yama rubbed his temples; he felt a headache looking at these Overlords.
"King Yama, now the Netherworld has merged with the Barren Ancient Continent." Buxu Overlord said, "I observed the celestial phenomena at night and calculated that if we merge with other planets again, we will soon be able to restore the prestige of the Ancient Heavenly Court."
Hearing this, the Overlords simultaneously took a step forward, cupped their hands, and said, "We respectfully request King Yama to bring our worlds over and merge them together to create a Heavenly Court even more glorious than the Ancient Heavenly Court!"
King Yama snorted coldly, "Talking so grandly, you actually just want me to move your old homes over, right."
With his hands crossed and elbows resting on his thighs, King Yama said, "What good ideas do you have? I can't find your homelands."
Zheye Overlord chuckled, "You should also understand the Return Curse, and the Father Summons Son Curse, right?"
"This place is the core of the former Ancient Heavenly Court; the planets where we reside are all its subsidiaries, or even a part of it."
"How about..."
Beside him, Northern Profound Overlord said with a serious expression, "If King Yama you can summon our planets, we are willing to recommend you as the Emperor of the Heavenly Court!"
Hearing this, King Yama's face darkened.
"You want me to help you summon all your planets? Heh, how can it be so simple?"
"You must know, these are worlds that were separated by the Ancestral God; even if we can use Youming Ice Spring, where would we find so much Youming Ice Spring for us to use?"
Hearing this, Northern Profound Overlord's eyes lit up, "Then you mean, as long as there is enough Youming Ice Spring, you have the ability to perform it?"
King Yama almost spat out blood; he coughed twice and said, "I didn't say anything!"
"We understand, we understand." Northern Profound Overlord had a mischievous smile.
King Yama: ???
What do you understand?
Casting such a heaven-defying curse can lightly reduce lifespan, and heavily result in death and dissipation!
......
"Bro, are you really dead?"
A certain area of the Barren Ancient Continent.
Under the sunlight.
Lee Da Niu took out beef jerky he had treasured for a long time and handed it to the side, and also poured a bowl of warm wine.
Beside him, a skeleton with flesh only on half of its body stretched out a bony hand, grabbed the beef jerky, and put it directly into its mouth.
Immediately after, he picked up the wine bowl and took a large gulp.
The wine went from his mouth to his stomach, and then scattered onto the ground from the empty space.
Although it was not absorbed by the body, Chen Chuan Yi still enjoyed the feeling.
"Satisfying, so satisfying!"
Chen Chuan Yi laughed heartily, "After being dead for so many years, this is the first time I've eaten meat and drank wine so heartily!"
Turning to look at Lee Da Niu beside him, Chen Chuan Yi said awkwardly, "Right, what were you asking me just now?"
Lee Da Niu's mouth twitched, and he asked again, "After a person dies, will they turn into a soul and enter the Netherworld?"
All along, Lee Da Niu had been fixated on one thing.
That is, where do people go after they die?
Will they just die and turn into bones, knowing nothing, as some old people say?
Or will they enter reincarnation and go to other places after death, as other old people say?
Now, with the Barren Ancient Continent and the Netherworld merging, seeing those strange creatures with only skeletons left, and some humans, the thought buried in Lee Da Niu's heart suddenly resurfaced.
Then, after experiencing Chen Chuan Yi's answer, the secret buried for many years was finally answered.
Besides Lee Da Niu, many people in the Barren Ancient Continent had similar thoughts.
It was on the day the Barren Ancient Continent merged with the Netherworld that both ordinary people and powerful cultivators alike.
They all got the answers they wanted.
The common people and those cultivators no longer feared death.
"So, after death, there is a place called the Netherworld to take us in."
"Looking at it this way, it's not that terrifying, but we can't look down on it either!"
"Please wait a moment, besides the Netherworld, I heard there is also Youdu; that place is managed by relatively more normal people."
"Many years later, we will become souls and be teleported to one of these places. Although we can retain memories, we are not invincible. If we die again, we will completely vanish."
Qingyun Sect.
"Xiao Ning, we sensed the aura of death."
Master Shen Nian quickly flashed over after seeing Lin Ning.
"Where have you been during this time? The changes in the Barren Ancient Continent couldn't have been caused by you, could they?"
Shen Nian examined Lin Ning, then shook her head.
"I heard there's a place called the Netherworld, where we go after we die, and it actually merged with the Barren Ancient Continent!"
"However, I thought about it and it should have nothing to do with you; that's a planet!"
Hearing this, Lin Ning just smiled and didn't say much.
Returning to his room, as soon as he stepped through the door, Lin Ning felt a different aura.
In the room, there were black afterimages.
As soon as Lin Ning's foot landed on the floor, the surrounding afterimages surged wildly.
These afterimages gradually became real, and then transformed into Ji Jiuli's appearance.
Dozens of Ji Jiuli attacked Lin Ning simultaneously, and rays of light fell from the sky.
"Madam, your cultivation progress has been very fast recently." Lin Ning smiled, "However, you still need to continue cultivating."
Lin Ning pointed towards a gap, and Ji Jiuli's true form instantly appeared.
"Husband, are you a ghost? How could you know my location?" Jiuli was surprised; she was not supposed to appear just now!
This was no longer the feeling of being instantly killed upon showing her head.
She didn't even move, didn't show her face, not even pretending anymore, right?
Did he cheat?
"Come closer, and you'll know if I'm a person or a ghost."
Lin Ning pulled Ji Jiuli into his arms; the latter pretended to struggle a few times, then clung even closer.
They could feel each other's heartbeats.
"Husband has been away for so long, leaving me alone in the room to cultivate." Jiuli clung to Lin Ning like a young wife.
"Then, shall Husband give you some guidance?" Lin Ning said with a smile, "My guidance is very powerful."
Night fell.
Perhaps due to the close proximity of the Netherworld's fusion, the night on the Barren Ancient Continent was somewhat chilly.
In the sky, massive soul ships floated up.
Figures of Underworld Officials appeared at the bow of the ships, and they began to guide the souls according to instructions.
"Heh, I didn't expect Underworld Officials could only collect this many souls in one night." Lin Ning couldn't help but complain.
This was too slow!
Lin Ning saw that an Underworld Official's soul ship actually only brought one cultivator.
That cultivator, after entering the Netherworld, looked around curiously.
He Jie looked bewildered.
As a young disciple of the Heavenly Lion Mansion, He Jie had certainly enjoyed the reputation of his sect.
"A living person's aura."
After briefly adjusting his emotions and searching his memories, He Jie immediately understood his surroundings.
"Fortunately, this Emperor's Great Emperor cultivation hasn't dropped; it's just that my physical body hasn't recovered." He Jie comforted himself.
Suddenly, lanterns lit up throughout the dim city, illuminating all directions.
"So many living people's auras." He Jie was surprised, "If I devour them, wouldn't I be able to recover my strength?"
Feeling so many living people's auras ahead, He Jie was overjoyed.
He quickly walked into the city and began targeting those weak cultivators.
However, he was severely beaten.
"Get lost! What's your status? You must be new. How dare you bully them?"
"Although they are not souls, this is still the territory of the Ancient Heavenly Court! You, from an unknown planet, dare to have ideas about them?"
As expected, He Jie was beaten black and blue, and the flesh that had just grown on his body was directly wiped away.
He Jie was confused, "You are the same as me, both souls, why is the difference so great!"
