Northern Territory.
Above the Northern Hall of the Underworld.
The Kings of the Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern Halls were gathered.
The King of the Southern Hall arrived first, followed by the Kings of the Eastern and Western Halls, who seemed to have arrived together.
The King of the Northern Hall had always been present.
Yan Luo had originally intended to catch Bei Xue and give her a good beating.
However, upon entering, her attention was immediately drawn to something else.
She slowly raised her head, her gaze fixed on the sky above.
There, a noble figure stood quietly.
His features were exquisite, as if he were a god.
Yan Luo was stunned, "Sir?"
That familiar aura, that familiar face…
He was so similar to that Lord.
The realms of the Underworld, from Ghost King upwards, were:
Ghost King, Underworld Envoy, Nether Emperor, Underworld King.
With each ascending level, the power contained within was vastly different.
However, this ranking was actually incorrect.
It should be, Ghost King, Underworld Envoy, Nether Emperor.
Because, above the Nether Emperor realm, there was only one Underworld King, and there could only be one.
That was the ruler of the entire Underworld.
The Lord who had once taken Yan Luo in was that sole Underworld King!
However, Yan Luo had not seen him for a very long time.
…Ten thousand years ago, that Lord suddenly said he needed to leave for a while.
And that departure lasted for ten thousand years.
Now, had 'he' finally returned?
…
The livestream suddenly fell silent.
The viewers subconsciously held their breath, their eyes wide open as they watched.
To be honest, they could not see the face of the Lord that Yan Luo mentioned.
But judging by his posture, they could tell he was a very noble being.
Moreover, someone who could make a King of the Underworld call him "Sir," what kind of being could that be?
The Underworld Emperor?
Were the others beside him also Kings of the Underworld?
At this moment, the livestream chat was quieter than ever before.
Viewers watching other camera feeds were gradually drawn over, stopping their typing.
They seemed to…
be witnessing a historic moment?
…
…
"It is I."
In the sky above,
The magnificent figure—the figure referred to as 'Our King' by the ghost shopkeepers—looked over.
A slight smile played on his lips, and he said gently,
"Long time no see, little Yan Luo."
Then, he looked at the King of the Western Hall on the other side, "Long time no see, Xi He."
"It's been a while since we all gathered."
"…" Yan Luo gazed at him silently.
The moment he called her 'little Yan Luo,' Yan Luo almost burst into tears.
They truly hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Ten thousand years…
Back then.
Her name was even given by him.
This land was divided into four regions: East, West, South, and North.
Xi He, Nan Ming, Bei Xue, Dong…
Dong what?
At that time, the other Kings of the Underworld laughed and said, why not call him Dong Gua?
Yan Luo was furious and lunged to fight.
'Why not call her Yan Luo? It's quite cute.' That Lord sat by the fire and suddenly said.
Good!
Yan Luo stopped and looked at the figure illuminated by the firelight.
Alright.
From now on, she would be called Yan Luo.
…………
At this moment, Yan Luo stood in the sky above the King of the Underworld's Hall, snapping back from her memories.
She wiped her face and glared furiously at Bei Xue.
"What is going on with you lunatic? Causing so much trouble, who's going to clean up your mess?!"
She pointed a hand towards the figure in the sky, but dared not point directly, merely indicating a general direction.
"And this, what is this?" Yan Luo asked.
Bei Xue gracefully arrived opposite the other three Kings of the Underworld.
"This is the reincarnation of that Lord."
"The Lord hasn't appeared because he entered the cycle of reincarnation."
Bei Xue covered her mouth with her hand and smiled elegantly, "Didn't you all receive gifts from the Lord? Why do you still doubt?"
"Some of those sealed locations, even I don't know about them."
"He remembers everything about us. Doesn't that prove it?"
Gifts?
Sealed locations?
Yan Luo and Xi He suddenly looked towards the figure in the sky.
Those ghost shopkeepers, and the unsealing of the sealed locations, were all done by 'him'?!
Yes, only he knew everything…
But why would he do this?
Yan Luo stared blankly at the familiar figure.
That face, that aura, that tone…
They were all the same.
Could it be that after reincarnation, a person's personality and conduct would completely change?
Others might.
But would 'he' also change…?
For a moment, Yan Luo felt lost.
But why was this happening?
"Why?" she asked.
In the past,
Before he left, he had clearly told them to guard everything well…
Now, why was he doing such things?
"You don't need to be confused, little Yan Luo, I am the one who has changed."
In the sky above, 'Our King' looked at Yan Luo with a gentle gaze.
"I have experienced many reincarnations and seen many things clearly. Now that I have returned, I simply feel that the Yin and Yang realms should undergo some changes."
"If things continue like this, many things will remain unchanged. For example, hell."
"If you are unwilling to follow me anymore, I will not blame you."
'Our King' said slowly, his expression very calm.
Today was the day he prepared to return as the ruler of the Underworld.
Attracting the Kings of the four directions was also to announce these matters.
"…"
Yan Luo stared at him blankly, unable to answer.
The human world she had seen as she traveled from the Eastern Territory made her unable to answer.
The figure who had once picked her up and told her to guard this land made her unable to answer.
"If you are truly that person's reincarnation, then I apologize, but I can no longer accompany you."
On the other side, Xi He said firmly, "This goes against my original intentions when we first met."
Beside them, Bei Xue watched it all with a constant smile.
For her, as long as she could follow this Lord, nothing else mattered.
Even if the human world was destroyed.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
…
"Is the sky about to change…?"
The viewers in the livestream suddenly felt a sense of bewilderment.
Although they couldn't understand much of the Kings of the Underworld's conversation, the sealed locations…
They had learned some information from the livestream.
The ultimate goal of those ghost shopkeepers seemed to be to unseal the evil spirits?
And these seals were gifts from this 'Underworld Emperor'?
Because of these seals, the sky was shrouded in darkness, and the streets were filled with ghosts…
The mastermind behind the current situation had finally been found, but it was someone even the Kings of the Underworld had to obey.
If the future Underworld was to be ruled by such an 'Underworld Emperor.'
Then they…
What should they do?
The viewers were somewhat at a loss.
…
District 18.
Jiang Lin glanced north, then continued to carry out the pursuit order.
…
To the north.
The air above the entire King of the Underworld's Hall seemed to be about to freeze.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed.
Nan Ming moved his body and drew his great sword from the air.
First, the blue hilt appeared, followed by the cold, gleaming blade.
As he swung it, light flowed.
"Hey, hey, have you all confirmed that this is the reincarnation of that Lord?"
Nan Ming's lips curved into a smile, his fighting spirit already surging.
He looked at 'Our King' and provocatively said,
"Then let's have a fight!"
Nan Ming had long wanted to fight someone at the Underworld King realm.
Since their last parting, he hadn't had a suitable opponent for a long time!
…
