Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

Bianpeng glanced at Frey, then said to the two of them at the same time, "It's a bit premature to say that it didn't end perfectly. In this instance world, death might not be a bad thing for you."

"...What do you mean?" Donghui was taken aback.

Even the lifeless Frey looked up at Bianpeng.

“Literally,” Bian Peng laughed, “the two of you don’t have high sin values, and you also have talents, so you are considered special souls. Therefore… the Underworld will make an exception and decide not to put you into reincarnation for the time being. You will retain your original identities and be ghost messengers for one lifetime.”

“Ghost messenger…” Donghui shook his head and said, “Spare me, those vengeful ghosts are not to be trifled with. If I go to catch ghosts again…won’t I be living in fear again?”

"The missions you took on before were tests for the players, which were considered over-the-limit missions... no, not over-the-limit. If you can cultivate the Divine Cultivation System to a high level, dealing with vengeful ghosts and solving paranormal events won't be that difficult."

Bian Peng reminded him, "As newly appointed ghost messengers, your responsibilities are limited to guiding others. As for tasks like soul-collecting and resolving paranormal events... let's talk about that after you've mastered the Night Roaming and Day Roaming skills."

"Really... I'll have to look forward to it then." Donghui said eagerly, "I've found that saving people is quite addictive, and it's quite enjoyable."

The two's happiness did not affect Frey, who was standing nearby.

Her face still wore a lifeless expression, as if she were filled with extreme frustration and despair.

Seeing this, Bian Peng patted her on the shoulder and said, "We are the last three players. After we die, this instance will close... Do you still remember what the instance's name is?"

“Dreaming of a divine kingdom, huh?” Donghui replied. “Why bring this up all of a sudden?”

“Yes, it’s wishful thinking about a divine kingdom,” Bian Peng reminded him. “There are gods here. When we encounter problems that we can’t solve on our own, we can pray to them.”

"Pray to God...?" Frey looked up.

“These past few days, I’ve been asking around among my colleagues in the underworld, and I’m asking on your behalf.”

Bianpeng looked at Frey and said, "There is a way to solve your situation."

"In the City of the Wrongfully Dead in the Underworld, there are many souls who are still heartbroken. The one who is responsible for guiding them is the Goddess of Dawn from the Heavenly Court of Whale Fall."

“We can try to ask the Goddess of Dawn. I’ve heard that she is kind-hearted, and if she knows about your situation, she might not mind helping you.”

"This... really can?" Frey was taken aback, then reminded him, "My hometown is at node G07, which is quite far from here... The Goddess of Dawn is just a god in a dungeon, can she really solve something like this?"

“This is an S-rank dungeon,” Bian Peng reminded us. “Now that we’re all underworld beings, we won’t take money from our own people anymore. Since it’s free, let’s go and pray a little.”

"All right……"

Frey agreed.

……

"They actually agreed..."

A day later, Frey walked out of the east gate of the City of the Dead, looking rather dazed.

Bian Peng and Dong Hui, who were traveling with her, were also somewhat surprised by this.

The Goddess of Dawn granted their request and informed them that at midnight tonight, the "Gate Between the Two Worlds" would open in partition G07003, in Frey's hometown.

At that time, the rules of the Delusion God Kingdom will temporarily cover the 003 partition.

If the A-level player Fahd that Frey mentioned is truly as heinous as she described... then the Silver Moon God will take action without the Underworld even needing to send anyone, and will send all the excess sins into the Star Memory Realm.

Punishing the gods by letting them "die" will bury all evil in the past.

Midnight arrived quickly.

The "Gate Between Two Realms" opened right on time.

Frey, Bianpeng, and Donghui mingled into the group of underworld beings who had come to watch the excitement.

After crossing the gate that radiated a soft glow... Frey saw the land of her home.

I saw the familiar welfare home.

I saw those children.

I also saw... the Lycoris radiata flowers blooming all over the entire street.

In the middle of the sea of ​​flowers was Fahd's residence.

At this moment, moonlight spills into the water.

Frey's vision seemed to have caught sight of a girl with long white hair.

She rubbed her eyes, and when she looked again, the girl had disappeared.

That is... the Moon Goddess?

at the same time.

Star Memory Realm.

A whale fell from the heavens.

The Heavenly Palace.

Inside the cold-toned palace, on the grand throne, Wang opened his icy eyes and looked at the group of people who had suddenly appeared in the hall.

This time, he didn't even bother to get up. He simply glanced down at the crowd below the steps and then lost interest.

They don't even have an S-rank player; they're just a bunch of complete trash.

He wasn't qualified to take action on his own.

"Take it and play with it, then throw it away when you're done."

After glancing at the killing angel beside him, Wang uttered these words and then went back into a state of dozing.

Because he lacks all emotions and operates solely on rationality, when he has nothing to do, he prefers to... sleep.

……

Not long after, the "Gate Between the Two Worlds" closed.

Frey and the other two were automatically transferred back to the Underworld.

Another day passed.

Frey and her two companions officially joined the company.

They were all assigned to the receiving unit—to receive souls at the Gates of Hell and guide them into the Netherworld, sending them to the Mirror of Retribution and into the First Hall.

Frey was constantly worried about how things were going back to her hometown. Although she didn't neglect her work, she was still somewhat distracted.

Did the Moon Goddess really make a move?

Has Fahd really been dealt with?

As she was pondering these things, a familiar voice brought her back to her senses: "Let me go! Do you know who I am?! What kind of hell is this place...?!"

It was Fahd's voice.

Frey looked over and saw Fahd's soul, which was extremely weak, with a distorted face, and much more transparent than the other souls.

Her shoulders twitched.

However, thinking of his current status, he immediately straightened up and a smile appeared on his lips.

She gripped the standard soul-reaping rope issued by the underworld and lashed it out like a whip, striking Fahd, who was not far away, so hard that he knelt on the ground with a single blow: "You ignorant fool! Is this a place where you can run wild?!"

It seems that punishing the god "death" did not directly kill Fahd... That makes sense, how could a guy like him not be worthy of the Whale Fall Heavenly Court's ideal of punishing evil and promoting good if he didn't go to hell for a hundred years of punishment and torment?

"You are... Nino!? It was you!!" Fahad whispered weakly, "Was it you who did this! How could you... how could you do such a thing...!?"

"Is that Fahad?" Dong Hui walked over and clicked his tongue, "This place truly lives up to its reputation as the Kingdom of God. A-level players can be arrested, killed, or punished at will... Those who commit evil deeds in the future are probably in for a rough time."

"I heard from some colleagues that our Netherworld Empress and other gods in the Heavenly Court are discussing expanding the divine kingdom's influence to gradually cover each region... Our workload will probably get bigger and bigger in the future."

Bian Peng also came over and sighed with considerable distress.

How can I still smell the stench of work exploitation even though he's dead?

"Don't worry, I've heard about this too. I've also heard that the Underworld will expand as well," Donghui reminded him. "It's not like we're the only ones here."

He glanced at Fahd, who was still screaming and struggling, and asked in confusion, "Speaking of which... why is his soul body different from ours? It seems that even the talents awakened by players can't be used?"

“This is the Emperor’s authority,” Bian Peng reminded, “Our Netherworld Empress is also a celestial being, in charge of the Netherworld Reincarnation. All the souls of the dead who enter the Netherworld are under her jurisdiction and have no right to resist.”

"A world with God is truly different."

Donghui glanced at Fahd again and said, "He's got real energy... I hope he'll still be bouncing around like this in hell. Shall we go and send him to the Mirror of Retribution?"

"You two go about your business, I'll handle this," Frey said to the two of them. "Don't worry, I'm Frey now, not Nino."

She knew that the two men cared about her.

After all, we went through thick and thin together.

"That's good," Bian Peng nodded with a smile, then looked at Dong Hui and asked, "What about you? You won't change your name back either?"

When the players died, their clones in the Star Memory Realm disappeared, and their names automatically reverted to their original state.

Donghui shook his head: "You didn't change it back either, did you? We've already died once, and we're not even players anymore. I think... I need to change to a new name to match my new identity."

"What a coincidence, I think so too."

Bian Peng said.

The three looked at each other, then smiled at each other.

Just then, a beam of light shot out from the depths of the Yellow Springs Road, illuminating the gray sky and making the underworld as bright as day.

Bian Peng and the other two were stunned for a moment, somewhat confused.

Fortunately, a colleague from the underworld reminded him, "This is the 'Slaughtering' God descending upon the Netherworld; he must be going to find the Empress."

"Huh? It's Destruction from the Three Phantom Gods... Then what was that light just now?" Donghui asked curiously.

“It’s reflected by the Mirror of Retribution,” the colleague replied. “Every time the God of Slaughter descends, the Mirror of Retribution becomes unusually active, reflecting a path of rosy light… I don’t know when it picked up this habit.”

Donghui: "..."

It sounds a bit like he's flattering me... He's probably overthinking it.

……

The Underworld.

The palace, belonging exclusively to the Emperor, is located above the Ten Palaces of the Underworld.

It is now Lu Xining's residence.

Lu Baizhi, the Goddess of Dawn, was visiting her sister—she was getting a bit bored being alone in the City of the Dead. Besides, she'd been working intensely lately, calming many spirits, and hadn't seen Fan Xiao in a while, plus she'd been working non-stop… She wanted to confide in her sister.

She was probably lucky; Fan Xiao arrived at the Emperor's Palace not long after she arrived.

Looking at the Yellow Springs Road bathed in rosy light and the extraordinary scenery outside, Lu Xining and Lu Baizhi felt joy but also couldn't help but sigh—sighing that the Mirror of Retribution had become increasingly outrageous lately.

"Sister, do you think the Mirror of Retribution... is it afraid that Fan Xiao will merge it with Xiao Zhen?" Lu Baizhi guessed. "If they merge, Xiao Zhen's consciousness will likely take precedence, and the Mirror of Retribution will probably disappear. Is that why it's so eager to show itself?"

"..."

"Little sister, you've hit the nail on the head..." Lu Xining thought to herself.

This traitorous bastard can't even show his true colors—if he were to flatter her a little, she could whisper sweet nothings in Fan Xiao's ear, and everything would be solved.

Hmm... what girl wouldn't love a magic mirror that can flatter her?

"Now that the instance is complete and everything is in good order, Xiao probably won't tamper with the rules and items in the instance."

Lu Xining commented, "This mirror... it's just too cowardly of itself, let it be."

Fan Xiao arrived quickly.

……

"I've been a bit busy lately."

Fan Xiao said to Lu Xining and Lu Baizhi, "I'll leave the matter of the 010 Division being promoted to a fusion division to your responsibility. With your current strength, handling this matter will be very simple."

"Xiao, what have you been doing all this time?"

Lu Xining asked curiously.

She hadn't seen Fan Xiao for almost half a month.

"After verifying the effect of adjusting the flow of time on accumulating luck."

It seemed the result was somewhat unsatisfactory, and Fan Xiao sighed softly.

Compared to his original expectations, the result was indeed somewhat unsatisfactory—the time ratio was 1:5, which was similar to the original "Four Worlds Idea," with only a slight increase.

It seems this is the limit of the time acceleration rule for "quantum immortality".
