Zombies: Cultivating Immortality at Maoshan, Becoming Stronger by Doing Nothing

His words completely shocked Ling Yan Yan! Take charge of this entire underworld? Good heavens, the Lord of the Underworld?

What's going on here?

"Are you Yama Kings joking?"

Ling Yanyan was stunned!

"No, innate merit far surpasses acquired merit. Even a little innate merit cannot be matched by billions of acquired merit! Therefore, our decision is in accordance with the regulations of the underworld!"

Of course, although there are many things to do in the underworld, they are almost all done by people under the command of the Underworld General. Only major matters are decided by you, so there is no need to worry about it affecting your cultivation.

Moreover, right now, fellow Daoist's diligent cultivation is the most important matter for both the mortal realm and the underworld!

King Yama spoke solemnly.

From Yama's words, he could roughly guess why the other party paid so much attention to him.

The connection between the underworld and the mortal realm is getting weaker and weaker!

The fastest way for the underworld to gain merit is to obtain it from the mortal realm, since only by maintaining the cycle of reincarnation can the underworld continuously accumulate merit.

If contact is lost, there will be no dead people, and without dead people there will be no reincarnation, and the merit will be cut off!

However, according to what Yama and the others said, "this underworld?" doesn't that mean just this one underworld?

Could there be other underworlds?

Come to think of it, theoretically speaking, the Four Kings of Hell are the highest authority in the underworld.

However, in fact, above the Four Kings of Hell, there are actually Ten Kings of Hell.

If there is only one underworld, then the Ten Kings of Hell are somewhat superfluous. Moreover, above the Ten Kings of Hell is the legendary King of the Underworld, and even Houtu, who created the cycle of reincarnation.

Therefore, there can't possibly be only one underworld.

And there can't be just one underworld, which means there are a lot of cultivators outside of Earth as well?

Thinking of this, Ling Yanyan felt a surge of fighting spirit welling up inside her.

At his cultivation speed, he might surpass everyone in the cultivation world in no time, which would be incredibly boring.

"Then I thank you all, Kings of Hell, for your guidance. I will certainly do my best to make this underworld bigger and stronger, and create new glories!"

Ling Yanyan cupped his hands in greeting and then directly accepted the position of Lord of the Underworld.

"Good! In that case, it shall be decided!"

Upon seeing Ling Yan Yan's agreement, the Ten Kings of Hell all smiled, which meant that this person with innate merit was now a member of their Underworld!

After saying that, the ten Kings of Hell simultaneously pointed their fingers toward the sky.

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz!!!"

In an instant, ten golden rays of light burst forth from their hands and converged into a huge scroll.

"brush!!!!"

The scroll vanished instantly.

The underworld!!!

“Buzz!!!!”

At that moment, an aura of supreme power instantly enveloped the sky above the underworld.

In an instant, countless ghosts and gods, upon sensing this aura, were all terrified and knelt on the ground.

Even the powerful Four Kings of Hell and the eighteen judges knelt on the ground in horror.

"The Ten Directions Divine Decree, it's actually the legendary Ten Directions Divine Decree! What major event has occurred?"

At this moment, this thought flooded into the minds of all the judges and Yama.

Only the judge of the Underworld knew that this Ten Directions Divine Decree, also known as the Ten Kings of Hell Decree, could only be issued when all ten Kings of Hell were present! And the reason he was appearing now was most likely because of Ling Yan Yan.

However, those ordinary ghosts and gods had no idea what that sky-covering scroll was!

"Ten Directions Divine Decree! From this day forward, establish the Temple of the Lord of the Underworld! The Lord of the Underworld shall command the Four Yama Kings and oversee all affairs of the Eighteen Departments of the Underworld!"

At that moment, a grand and solemn voice resounded throughout the entire underworld! In an instant, all the underworld deities' expressions changed drastically.

I never expected there would be so many top-level superiors?

Even the Four Kings of Hell looked on in disbelief.

Originally, the underworld was their highest authority, but now a new superior has suddenly been parachuted in.

Of course, this was no ordinary place, and they dared not harbor even the slightest displeasure towards their newly appointed superior.

All that remains is awe.

Because the underworld has a strict hierarchy, even your immediate superior has the power to fire you with a single word.

Of course, there's a formality involved: first, the report is submitted to the Department of the Underworld, and then the Department of the Underworld approves it.

Under normal circumstances, it will pass!

However, no one would cause trouble for others for no reason, and even if there is a grudge, very few people would do so.

After all, causing trouble for others for no reason will reduce one's merit.

Of course, having a sword but not using it is one thing and not having a sword at all.

“Buzz!!!!”

As the Ten Kings of Hell finished reading the decree, the golden decree in the sky instantly transformed into more than twenty strands and entered the minds of all the judges and Yama Kings in the underworld.

The image of Ling Yanyan instantly entered their minds.

At that moment, the judge of the underworld almost peed himself.

Damn it, it really is Ling Yan Yan. Others may not know, but he knows very well that Ling Yan Yan is just a cultivator in the mortal realm whose strength has not even reached the level of a great cultivator!

He actually became the ruler of the underworld.

At this moment, he was even more horrified by the legendary innate merits.

Meanwhile, Ling Yanyan appeared instantly in a massive temple amidst a spatial fluctuation.

This temple was far more terrifying in size than the Temple of the Judge.

This temple is his Underworld Lord's Temple!

"This life is really exciting. Just a couple of days ago, I was discussing with my senior brothers whether I could become a ghost messenger. Well, now I've become the big boss of all the ghost messengers!"

Ling Yanyan was somewhat moved!

Then he had a sudden thought.

"Boom!!!"

In the next instant, a solemn, majestic, and incomparably noble figure appeared around Ling Yanyan.

Subsequently, the Dharma Form expanded rapidly.

In an instant, the Dharma form had already reached a massive scale of tens of millions of kilometers.

"If this Dharma form were to reach the mortal level, it would probably be the size of the sun!"

Ling Yanyan did the calculation and was immediately startled.

In his hands, the Earth was nothing more than a larger grain of sand.

Of course, this size can only be achieved by using it in the underworld.

If he were on Earth, with his strength, he could only manifest a size of a few tens of meters.

Moreover, since it lacks the power of the underworld, it can only be used to scare people.

But it's better than nothing.

Then, as the lord of the underworld, he inspected the situation in the underworld.

This sight immediately made him exclaim in surprise.

"The number of ghosts in the underworld is terrifying! Accumulated over millions of years, there are now more than 30 trillion ghosts! There are also nearly 100 billion underworld officials! And tens of thousands of underworld generals!"

Ling Yan Yan was shocked by the sheer volume of data.

This underworld has been established for millions of years.

Over the years, very few ghosts have actually chosen to reincarnate.

After all, once reincarnated, one has no memory of anything. Even if there are people one can't let go of, one will forget them after reincarnation.

Those who do not wish to be reincarnated choose to reside in the underworld.

After all, anyone who is qualified can be reincarnated.

However, if there are many people who are reincarnated, then they may not necessarily be human.

Animals, insects, anything with a soul can be reincarnated.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, even if all 30 trillion people were to be reincarnated, they would still be able to be reincarnated.

But as I said before, once people have lived in the underworld for a while, no one chooses to go back to the mortal world.

It's important to understand that even before Ling Yanyan's transmigration in the 21st century, the dream of everyone having enough to eat had not been realized in the mortal realm.

Not to mention ancient times, or even prehistoric times.

Of these more than 30 trillion ghosts, nearly one trillion starved to death! Naturally, no one would want to go back to the mortal world to suffer.

Moreover, if one is unlucky and does not receive a good education after birth, grows up to be a bad person and does a lot of bad things, then after death and returning, one can only be eternally imprisoned in hell!

"With so many ghosts, no wonder so many underworld officials are needed to govern them!"

Ling Yanyan couldn't help but sigh.

If the number of underworld officials is too small, it really becomes impossible to manage them.

"Right, with so many underworld officials, one more wouldn't be too bad! Senior Brother One-Eyebrow taught me so many professions, so let's get some benefits for him!"

Suddenly, Ling Yanyan remembered Uncle Jiu.

The other party had been longing to become a lowly official in the Underworld's Money Department, but unfortunately, their merits were far from sufficient! Now that Ling Yanyan had become the Lord of the Underworld, wouldn't he arrange such a small matter for them?

Thinking of this, he simply pointed into the void.

"Om!!"

Instantly, a golden light burst forth from his fingertip, tearing through the void and shooting rapidly toward the direction of the Underworld Department.

"Go home and sleep!!"

Ling Yanyan, who was responsible for all of this, yawned and then left the underworld.

"Lord of the Underworld, I never expected that ten emperors would issue decrees at the same time. Just who is this Lord of the Underworld!"

Meanwhile, in the temple of the Underworld Judge.

The judge of the underworld was still reeling from the shock he had just witnessed.

The divine positions above the judges of the underworld might not change even once every tens of thousands of years, but this time a new lord of the underworld has been appointed! This is definitely the most significant event since the creation of Hell.

"However, the appearance of the Lord of the Underworld must involve some earth-shattering events, and as a judge of the underworld, if I perform well, I might have a chance to advance further!"

Immediately, the judge of the underworld was filled with fighting spirit.

Because his qualifications and power as a judge in the underworld are absolutely the highest among all the judges in the entire underworld.

If he performs well, he might even become the Fifth King of Hell.

Thinking about this, he became a little excited.

After all, becoming the Fifth Yama King would allow one to control at least three or more departments.

“Buzz!!!!”

However, at that moment, a golden light struck in front of him, transforming into a golden decree.
