Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 480 Chapter 490: The Underworld

This time I'm here to solve the problem.

Eleven looked at Lin Beixuan, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

During this period of time, the underworld has developed very rapidly and its size has become larger and larger. Many problems have accumulated. As the lord of the City of Wrongful Death, he has long wanted to solve these problems, but has been unable to find a way.

He helped Lin Beixuan build the City of the Dead and the Underworld. Unknowingly, Eleven had already treated them as his own children.

Hearing Lin Beixuan's words, Eleven felt a little excited and asked, "What is the Lord going to do?"

"Again, the same words - reincarnation!"

"The biggest problem in the underworld right now is that the dead souls cannot be reincarnated. The dead souls with nowhere to go are all placed in the City of the Dead, which requires a lot of manpower to manage. This has also led to a large number of underworld officials being tied up, and there is often a shortage of underworld officials."

Lin Beixuan glanced at the dark and chaotic surroundings and said, "Next, I will re-establish the cycle of reincarnation so that the souls of the dead will have a place to return to."

"What is your Excellency going to do?" Eleven asked doubtfully.

Lin Beixuan's black-gold eyes took in the entire City of the Dead, from the streets where the ghosts lived to the hell of torture, everything was in sight.

He spread out his hands, and three glowing balls of light slowly seeped out from his body.

Eleven's pupils gradually shrank as he watched this scene. As the most typical representative of ghosts, he could clearly feel the strange feeling from the light ball.

He did not feel fear or pressure from the ball of light. On the contrary, his soul was beating uncharacteristically, and he wanted to follow the ball of light.

"What is this...?" Eleven opened his mouth and asked with some difficulty.

Lin Beixuan smiled and did not answer Eleven's words. Instead, he threw three balls of light into the depths of the darkness.

Rumble…

In an instant, as the ball of light flew out, the entire underworld began to shake.

The souls of the dead in the City of the Dead walked out of the houses that looked like tombstones one after another. They looked at each other in confusion.

Then, strange threads floated out from the depths, passed through the punishment hell, and connected with the souls of the dead.

"What happened?"

Ge Hong looked solemnly at the ribbon-like silk thread that was entering his chest. His soul seemed to have established a connection with something very special.

He has lived in the City of the Dead for some time.

Ever since his death, he felt a lot more pressure in his heart, as if all was over.

But as time passed, the long-term loneliness and the atmosphere of the underworld became unbearable for him, and he began to miss his past.

I thought I had let go of all the affairs of the world, but it turned out that I was just suppressing them myself.

When it erupts again, it is controlled by emotions and officially turns into an evil spirit.

Ge Hong didn't want to turn himself into an evil ghost, so he kept suppressing it with his spirit and will.

If even he is in this situation, it must be even more difficult for ordinary people.
But the sudden scene that appeared today and the changes that occurred in his soul made him feel inexplicably relieved, as if the stone that had been pressing on his heart for a long time was finally put down.

"It seems... he has finally found the key thing that is missing from the underworld and has begun to reorganize the underworld!" Ge Hong guessed in his heart, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Reincarnation is the cornerstone for the operation of the entire underworld order.

If Lin Beixuan's underworld was just an empty shell before, then now, the underworld is equivalent to having bones.

Ge Hong looked up at the black sun hanging high in the sky, thinking secretly in his mind.

"This Ji Ri has appeared in the underworld since yesterday. I think the reason is related to him. Today, the reincarnation has reappeared. It seems that the underworld is really going to open again under his step-by-step!"

Ge Hong's eyes were full of relief. In his opinion, the reconstruction of the underworld would be a good thing for all living things.

This world cannot have only life without death. If life cannot be reincarnated, there will be more and more evil spirits remaining in the world.

The underworld had been invisible for only two or three hundred years, and as a result, the world of the living was filled with evil spirits at night, humans and evil spirits coexisted, secular gods were ostentatious, and all kinds of natural disasters and chaos occurred.

If the other party had appeared earlier, perhaps the dynasties would not have reached this point today.

But no matter what, he is dead now. Whatever the final outcome of the dynasties will be, it is something that cannot be changed for him, and he has no ability to do it.

He will probably have to atone for the mistakes he made in Luozhou for a long time from now on.

Ge Hong sighed, stared at the silent sun for a long time, and finally slowly disappeared among the restless and surging souls of the dead.

At this moment, the entire City of the Dead was shrouded in this strange scene. Countless dead souls were connected by the cycle of reincarnation and involuntarily gathered in one direction.

Eleven looked at all this in shock. In his eyes, in the previously dark and chaotic place, three buildings rose from the ground as the light ball was placed.

It was these three buildings that caused strange visions and tremors in the City of the Dead.

He walked over involuntarily, and the first thing that caught his eye was an old and mysterious stone tablet with three large characters "Naihe Bridge" written in bright red cinnabar on it.

"Is this the Naihe Bridge in the legend, where all living beings must pass through to be reincarnated!" Eleven couldn't help but say.

He looked back at Lin Beixuan and saw that Lin Beixuan was also looking in this direction. He turned his head and looked back at the bridge.

The body of Naihe Bridge is immersed in thick blue-gray mist, like the spine of a giant dragon gnawed by time.

The mist did not look like water vapor, but rather a mass of gelatinous flocs. The thirteen thick piers under the bridge were half immersed in the Yellow Spring River, which was forcibly pulled in by some strange force to form a river channel.

Rows of mottled bronze chains are crisscrossed around the bridge railings, with moss growing between the links, making it look even more ancient and mysterious.

Eleven had unknowingly arrived at the bridge head and was about to step forward when he was grabbed by Lin Beixuan.

"Once you step onto the bridge, you have to go through a series of procedures. I don't want to have to go through the trouble of getting you back later."

"Thank you, sir!"

Eleven bowed to Lin Beixuan and shifted his gaze to a huge vessel next to the bridge.

There was a pile of dry firewood under the vessel, and the vessel was empty, like a pot used to cook something.

Eleven took a step back and looked at the huge three-story corridor in the middle of the bridge, not daring to go forward.

Lin Beixuan took him to the next location via a detour from another place.

This is the edge of a boiling pool, surrounded by huge rocks covered with pale, honeycomb-like holes and fern-like plants. From time to time, illusory blue butterflies flap their wings and fly.

Next to the pool, there is also an ancient stone tablet with the words "Samsara Pool" written on it. Lin Beixuan explained: "If you want to be reincarnated, you must enter the Samsara Pool and transform into a spirit fetus to wash away all the filth."

Eleven nodded when he heard this. No wonder his legs and feet always wanted to step into the lake inadvertently after he got close to the water.

Not long after leaving the Samsara Pond, Eleven saw six hearts leading to an unknown destination.

That’s right, it was hearts, and six deformed hearts at that.

These six hearts seemed to come from six different creatures. Each heart beat at a different frequency, and what they pumped out was not blood, but beams of unknown power. These forces formed a vortex in front of the heart, attracting people to walk in.

"Six Paths of Reincarnation!" Eleven murmured in a low voice. Now that he was here, how could he not guess what these six deformed hearts were.

"In this way, the problem that has plagued the City of the Dead for a long time seems to be able to be solved!"

Eleven looked at Lin Beixuan. He didn't expect that the other party could easily solve the problem that he had been thinking about for a long time with no clue just by taking out a few buildings.

Eleven sighed and thought to himself: "The Lord of the Mansion is indeed the Lord of the Mansion. The troubles we have caused may be just trivial matters in his eyes!"

He can be said to be one of the people who has watched Lin Beixuan along the way.

From the time when Lin Beixuan just opened his mansion to the time when the other party was summoning gods all the way, even though he is not a human immortal now, he already has the combat power to easily deal with human immortals and secular gods.

The other party always does shocking things, and Eleven gradually gets used to it.

"Lord, what should we do next?" Eleven looked at the dead souls not far away that were gradually attracted by reincarnation, and asked Lin Beixuan.

Lin Beixuan naturally noticed those dead souls and said without hesitation: "Of course, we should start solving the problem!"

Eleven was startled when he heard this: "Now?"

He thought Lin Beixuan would let him send someone to adapt for two days first, but he didn't expect that he would start right away.

Lin Beixuan nodded and said, "Just arrange for the ghost messengers to come over and have them guard the Samsara Bridge temporarily, and then guide each soul onto the bridge according to their good and evil deeds in life."

"I can also take this opportunity to try out the new reincarnation system to see if it works."

"I understand!"

Eleven then suddenly realized what had happened. After reacting and apologizing, he immediately entered several judge's halls and led out a group of ghost messengers to maintain order among the dead souls.

At this time, Wang Chao and Ma Han also followed over, walked in front of Lin Beixuan and leaned down.

Originally, the two of them sensed Lin Beixuan's presence when he just entered the city, and wanted to put their things aside and come over, but they were stopped by Lin Beixuan's voice transmission, and the two of them were not summoned until now.

When Eleven came back from arranging the work of the ghost messenger, Lin Beixuan looked at the three of them and said.

"You may have to work hard during this period. Now that the underworld has undergone new changes and the reincarnation system is being established, it will be your busiest time."

Eleven said respectfully: "Don't worry, my lord. We will do our best!"

Lin Beixuan looked at Eleven: "The two of them have been promoted to secular gods. In the future, they may gather some faith in the City of the Dead, and they will become their own teams in the future."

Lin Beixuan made it clear in advance.

He didn't want to see the underworld he had worked so hard to build collapse due to internal strife in the future.

"Of course, this is as it should be. Every judge has his own authority, as long as it does not exceed the rules."

As he spoke, an ancient scroll appeared in Lin Beixuan's hand. As the cold wind blew, the ancient scroll flipped gently, and lines of ink-colored words appeared on it from time to time.

Lin Beixuan tore off a page from the Book of Life and Death and handed it to Wang Chao, saying calmly: "This page contains part of the power of the Book of Life and Death, and can reveal the past of the deceased. This way, we don't have to spend a lot of time sending ghost messengers to investigate."

Immediately afterwards, Lin Beixuan handed the remaining Book of Life and Death to Eleven.

"The rest of the Book of Life and Death is in your custody, and you are to figure out the various paths and powers within it yourself."

Of course, Lin Beixuan would not hand over the real Book of Life and Death. These items were just rubbings he made using the Book of Life and Death.

Although it possesses some of the power of the Book of Life and Death, the real Book of Life and Death is in Lin Beixuan's hands, and he can take back the rubbings at any time.

This is an ability that Lin Beixuan developed after studying the Book of Life and Death for a long time.

The Book of Life and Death is indispensable if he wants to maintain the smooth operation of the underworld, so he chose to let the Book of Life and Death manifest some of its power in the form of rubbings.

This is also the preparation Lin Beixuan has made for the Book of Life and Death to be completely integrated into the underworld in the future.

Strictly speaking, the entire underworld is the manifestation of his power. The larger the underworld is, the more continuous power he can obtain from the underworld, so the management and construction of the underworld is indispensable.

Although the Book of Life and Death is extremely important to him, only by allocating some power when necessary can the underworld develop better and faster.

Then, Lin Beixuan turned his gaze to Ma Han and noticed the expectant look in the other's eyes when he looked at him.

"Ma Han, you are in charge of the Yin Law Department. The power of the Book of Life and Death is actually not very meaningful to you. I plan to give you something else."

As he spoke, Lin Beixuan separated a wisp of calamity energy and dropped it on Ma Han.

After this ray of calamity energy entered his body, it quickly took root and sprouted, soon devouring Ma Han's entire body, condensing into a dark and hideous armor on his body.

"I have planted a seed of calamity in you. As long as the seed is not destroyed, you can freely manipulate it. You can condense it into armor or transform it into a weapon. With the special effects of calamity, it should be able to help you intimidate most enemies."

Ma Han was a little confused as to why the Lord of the Mansion gave him this thing, and then he listened to Lin Beixuan's explanation.

"I have a plan. The underworld cannot be limited to Luozhou. After the reincarnation cycle stabilizes, I plan to let you lead the underworld soldiers to open up areas outside Luozhou."

Ma Han was stunned when he heard this, and then he secretly guessed in his heart: "Is this the Lord of the Mansion planning to let me expand his territory and the scope of the underworld?!"

Ma Han carefully controlled the power in his body to avoid the seeds of calamity energy, and said with a little excitement: "I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

In fact, Ma Han’s guess was exactly what Lin Beixuan was thinking, although Luozhou still needed a period of stable development before it could compete with Zi Gu God and Evil Spirit Lord.

But the underworld is an independent system from the world of the living, and will not be interfered with by the major forces.

The underworld exists underground, and it can take advantage of the chaos in the world of the living where various forces are constantly fighting each other to secretly grow and develop.

Lin Beixuan raised his hand and pointed in the direction of darkness and chaos.

"When someone dies, there must be souls that need to be taken in."

"Incorporating those areas into the underworld can not only strengthen the power of the underworld, but also provide a home for those dead souls."

"This... is the task I want to give you."
