Gods of the Nation: You worship the God of Longevity, I worship the King of Hell!

Chapter 30 You call this the Black and White Impermanence?!

Seeing Lu Chen's resolute and confident expression, everyone in the room was stunned.

An old man, his eyes bloodshot, growled hoarsely, "Xiao Chen, this old man wants to see your Aunt Qiu!!"

That heartfelt shout moved everyone present.

Lu Chen nodded solemnly, then turned to his younger sister: "Wan'er, you and Mom go back to your room first. Don't come out unless your brother calls you."

Mother Lu understood and immediately led her youngest daughter into the inner room. She knew what her son was about to do.

"Fellow villagers," Lu Chen looked around at the crowd, "I am about to summon the Black and White Impermanence. If anyone is afraid, please move aside. It's crowded, and I'm afraid something might happen."

"Xiao Chen, are you serious?" Someone swallowed hard and unconsciously took a half step back.

"Alright! If you can really invite them, we'll have a look around. With our current cultivation level, we'll never reach the second rank in this lifetime. It'll be a good opportunity for us to see the world above the second rank!"

"Yes! We are not afraid!"

"Alright, everyone please remain calm later." Lu Chen nodded to the old man, then circulated his magic power. On the back of his hand, the Yama's Decree showed ferocious patterns and emitted a scarlet light.

"The underworld, black on the left, white on the right, heed my command, quickly manifest your power..."

"Wow—"

A sudden gust of wind swept through the room.

"What? Xiao Chen is already at the peak of the first rank?"

"He's not even twenty yet, is he? This cultivation level..."

"The Lu family is about to rise to power!"

The neighbors were shocked!
Everyone is perfectly fine being poor and perfectly fine being weak.

Why did the Lu family suddenly take off without saying a word?!

Lu Jianming witnessed this scene and was equally incredulous.

Peak of the First Rank!?

And only one day has passed!

How did his son become a peak-level first-grade spiritualist?!

What exactly was the opportunity that led to this?
At this moment, amidst the horrified gazes of everyone...

Black lightning faintly appeared on Lu Chen's left and right sides, and two figures, one black and one white, gradually solidified and stood on his side in the blink of an eye.

"Greetings, General!" Black and White Impermanence bowed in unison.

"You two don't need to stand on ceremony." Lu Chen reached out to help him up, though he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

After all, according to legend, the appearances of these two are really not flattering...

However, when he saw the two ghosts' faces clearly, he was instantly stunned!
Not only him, but everyone in the room was stunned.

How could this be the legendary White Impermanence with its long tongue hanging down to its chest, or the Black Impermanence with its ferocious face?
They were clearly two women with beautiful faces and graceful figures.

They were simply dressed in the classic black and white attire of the Impermanence (a figure in Chinese mythology associated with death).

"You...are the Black and White Impermanence?"

"Reporting to the General, I am Bai Wuchang, and my father is Xie Bi'an."

"Reporting to the General, I am Hei Wuchang, and my father is Fan Wujiu."

"So you are the daughters of two unfortunate people!"

Lu Chen suddenly realized.

Ugly boys and beautiful girls, as expected...

The old man was shocked.

He coughed lightly: "Was this arranged by King Yama on his own initiative?"

"That's right. The King said that my sister and I are more presentable, which makes it easier for the general to command us. If my father were to come, it might frighten others."

"I see."

Lu Chen secretly gave Old Yama a thumbs up.

Although he looks rugged, he is incredibly meticulous!

This arrangement is brilliant!

At this moment, seeing that the fearsome Black and White Impermanence had grown into two graceful women in front of them, no one was afraid at all.
"Wait!" Suddenly someone realized, "General? Xiao Chen, why do they call you General?"

"Yes, how did you become a general?" "This..." Lu Chen didn't know how to explain for a moment.

Then Bai Wuchang stepped forward, raising his eyebrows slightly: "How dare you! You have no respect for the mighty General Zhengde of the Underworld! You should kneel down and pay your respects at once!"

"What?! Xiao Chen has become a general in the underworld?!"

"This……"

All the neighbors completely crashed.

"It's just an empty title, no need to worry about it." Lu Chen waved his hand, signaling Bai Wuchang to step back first, and looked at the old man beside him: "Grandpa, what is Aunt Qiu's full name?"

"Chiu Shu!"

"Okay, please help me find out about this ghost and ask her to come up here."

The Black and White Impermanence nodded in agreement, each producing a book in their hands, one black and one white, resembling the Book of Life and Death. The pages turned rapidly without any wind.

Black Impermanence was the first to reply: "It is not included in my Book of Evil."

White Impermanence continued, "Found it! It's in my 'Book of Good Deeds'!"

Although both Black and White Impermanence are in charge of capturing souls, their duties differ: White Impermanence captures good souls, while Black Impermanence captures evil ghosts.

The fact that Aunt Qiu was included in the "Book of Good Deeds" shows that she must have been a kind person during her lifetime.

"Please wait a moment, General. I will go and fetch Ms. Qiu immediately." After saying this, Bai Wuchang's figure vanished in an instant.

"Xiao Chen!" An old man threw down his cane and grabbed Lu Chen's arm with trembling hands. "Thank you! I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life!"

Lu Chen gently reassured him, "You're too kind. It was just a small favor. By the way, do you still find the underworld officials scary?"

An old man shook his head repeatedly: "I'm not afraid anymore! I'm not afraid anymore!" He looked around, "What about you?"

Everyone stared at the cold and beautiful Black Impermanence, almost drooling: "Not afraid! Not afraid at all!"

Could you please send a dozen more of these Black and White Impermanence?!

Lu Chen: "..."

These guys are just ridiculous.

He cleared his throat: "Actually, there's no need for anyone to be afraid of the underworld. The underworld gods are all righteous gods appointed by the Heavenly Court. They just have special duties and some of them look a bit scary. There's really no such thing as bad luck or not. It's all just rumors and misinformation."

“Exactly!” Black Impermanence Sister nodded seriously. “We just have an unpleasant job, how can it be considered unlucky?”

Everyone laughed awkwardly. This job was indeed unpleasant, and the word "death" added to it, so it was understandable that people felt it was unlucky.

Just then, a flash of black light appeared, and the two figures reappeared.

An old man stared wide-eyed at his daughter, dressed in plain clothes, and called out in a trembling voice, "Shu'er!"

"dad!!"

A collective gasp filled the air.

"Sister Qiu!"

"Aunt Qiu!"

"The soul can only stay for two minutes," White Impermanence reminded.

The old man immediately embraced his daughter and wept.

"Shu'er, Dad has missed you so much... I thought I wouldn't see you until I went down to the underworld, but thanks to Xiao Chen..."

Qiu Shu turned to look at Lu Chen, who smiled and nodded: "Aunt Qiu, it's been a long time. You two chat first."

She nodded in greeting, then turned to look at her aged father: "Dad, how are you? Where are Mom and my brothers?"

"Everything's fine, everything's fine! Shu'er, are you doing well down there?"

"I'm fine. The judge said I have thirty more years of life left in the underworld, after which I will be able to reincarnate."

Watching the father and daughter, separated by death, pour out their hearts to each other in a race against time, everyone present was moved to tears.

Unfortunately, time flies, and the two minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

When the time came, Bai Wuchang led Qiu Shu back to the underworld.

An elderly man, tears streaming down his face, was about to kneel down: "Xiao Chen, can I please let Grandpa talk to your Aunt Qiu a little longer! I beg you!"

"Grandpa, you're shortening my lifespan!" Lu Chen quickly helped the old man up. "If you miss Aunt Qiu, I'll give you some advice—tomorrow go to the Sun Family Temple in the south of the city to worship Yama, and pray sincerely. I'm sure Yama will grant your wish. But I also want to advise you, the deceased is gone, please grieve in moderation. Being too attached to her is not good for either of you."

The old man trembled with excitement and nodded repeatedly: "Okay! I will definitely go tomorrow! From now on, I, Qiu Zhiguo, will not worship anyone else, only the King of Hell!"
