Gu Jiu looked up at the man on the boat, then his eyes slightly turned and looked at the still riverbed again, and the wisps of flames that had transformed from the withered flowers on the river bank.
The flames were not bright, but like rubies dotted on the dark earth, emitting flickering red light.
The man on the boat continued, "Ajiu, come on up, I'll take you to the underworld."
He leaned over and held out his hand to her, trying to pull her into the boat.
Gu Jiu smiled at him and said, "Wait a moment."
She took out a jade-white hollow ball, bent down and took a wisp of fire from the ground and put it into the ball. The small cluster of flames instantly dyed the jade-white ball red, as if it were a red-hot iron.
After doing all this, she took his hand and let him pull her onto the majestic ship.
Lu Ji glanced at the wisp of earth fire in the jade-white ball in her hand and took her into the cabin without saying anything.
The big ship left the shore and moved slowly on the still river.
The river was quiet and silent; a large ship passed by without even causing a ripple.
This scene reminded Gu Jiu of the previous Death Notice copy he encountered in the world of "Death Notice". The River Styx at that time was very similar to this river. The only difference was that this river contained certain rules that made people dare not approach it easily.
There were only two of them on the entire ship.
The cabin was decorated luxuriously with an ancient charm. On a round sandalwood table with golden threads, there was a golden lion incense burner. Incense curled up from the air, and a refreshing scent with a slightly sweet taste lingered in the air.
Gu Jiu smelled it and confirmed that it was not his illusion.
She glanced at the man who was pouring tea for her, took the tea from him, squinted her eyes and asked him, "What are you doing?"
Lu Ji was a little embarrassed, "Ajiu, what are you talking about? I don't know..."
The last words were blocked by the kiss. His lowered eyes were like the red fire faintly lit on the river bank. He naturally put his arms around her waist and deepened the kiss.
At some point, a gust of wind blew outside the boat.
The wind did not come from the river bank, but from somewhere farther away, and it carried a disgusting smell.
Gu Jiu's heart moved slightly. He looked up and out the window and found that the boat had gradually sailed away from the river and headed towards a deeper dark place, where no light could appear.
The man who was hugging her was combing her messed up hair. As he was combing, he said, "Ajiu, you should be able to complete the task soon. When the time comes, you go back to Wujie City first. I will go back later."
Gu Jiu lazily leaned in his arms, yawned and asked, "Is it because we want to build the underworld?"
Lu Ji hummed.
After he had tied her hair into a bun and inserted a golden phoenix-shaped hairpin into her hair, the ghost ship finally stopped.
The river was no longer visible, and the ghost ship was sailing on flat ground, as if there was a river below, without any obstruction.
Gu Jiu walked out of the cabin, stood on the deck and looked ahead.
In the endless darkness, there stood a towering and cold palace. The palace walls were endless, and the wide halls were connected to each other, one building after another. On the plaque of each palace, there were large characters written in a flamboyant style, which were the names of the palaces.
Gu Jiu looked towards the main gate of the palace. Above the lintel was a plaque with red characters on a black background, which read: Senluo Hell.
When you first enter the underworld, the light in the underworld is dim and blurry, but it is not completely dark. But here, the space is dark, and the only light is the underworld in front.
There were rows of red lanterns hanging there, and the magnificent palace was no less impressive than any palace on earth. It even had a divine presence because of the gods residing there, giving it an even more oppressive aura, which made people feel daunted and afraid to act rashly.
"Ajiu, I'll take you there."
As Lu Ji spoke, he held her waist and flew up, jumped off the ghost ship, and arrived in front of the Senluo Hall.
The palace door suddenly opened, and many ghosts walked out, lining up on both sides of the palace door to welcome the return of the master. These ghosts were of different types, not only humans but also demons, but they were all in the state of death and turned into ghosts.
Gu Jiu looked at their clothes and badges, and suddenly understood.
These ghosts are the messengers of the underworld.
She smiled, and finally understood what Lu Ji had done during his disappearance.
The ghosts bowed silently to welcome the return of the Lord of the Underworld and ignored the ascetics around him. From their expressions, it can be seen that these ghosts have an instinctive reverence and fear for him.
Lu Ji took Gu Jiu by the hand and walked into the palace and came to the main hall - Senluo Hall.
After looking around the huge Senluo Palace, Gu Jiu asked sternly, "Are you going to build a reincarnation system for the underworld this time?"
Lu Ji hummed and said softly, "This world does not have a reincarnation system, which has led to evil people taking over and demons running rampant. The human world cannot see a way out. Only by establishing a reincarnation system in the underworld and finding a reincarnation for humans can they possibly defeat the demons and achieve a balance with them."
It is not like now, when demons are overwhelming humanity, the world is full of disasters and people are living in misery.
Losing balance is not allowed by the rules of the world.
Gu Jiu thought for a moment, "So, you are not the Lord of Demons, but a god recognized by the rules of the underworld?"
Only gods have the right to establish the underworld system.
It seems that the rules of this world are not stupid. They probably noticed Lu Ji's identity, so they allowed him to establish the underworld here.
Lu Ji hummed somewhat embarrassedly, and said casually: "I didn't know that the destructive force of this world would become the master of the underworld. When I first entered this world and was trapped in the underworld, I wanted to find you, but unfortunately the passage between the two worlds was not open at that time, so I could only find another way."
Another way is to take advantage of the opportunity to drag the dragon from Biyin Lake into the underworld and replace him himself
Gu Jiu smiled at him.
Lu Ji said confidently: "The Netherworld is too chaotic. We need to establish a new order here. We must find someone who can fight. The Jiaolong is quite powerful. If it can help to quell the chaos and establish order in the underworld, it will gain some merit and can become a real dragon in the future."
So this is why the dragon was willing to stay later.
Once the underworld is built, all living beings who participate can get a share of merit. The dragon is not stupid and knows that this is a rare opportunity, which other monsters cannot get even if they beg for it.
Gu Jiu looked at him, "What about you? Do you have any merits?"
"No, it makes up for my mistakes." Lu Ji said calmly.
Gu Jiu frowned. The power of destruction was originally for destruction. Its origin was destruction. It had touched the rules of this world and was rejected by it. If Lu Ji had not come to reclaim the power of destruction and establish the underworld, he would have to bear the sins of the power of destruction again.
Therefore, although he did not gain any merit by establishing the underworld, it was considered as making up for his mistakes.
Although she understood the logic behind this, she just felt unhappy, very unhappy.
Lu Ji could see that she was angry, and his heart softened instantly. He held her in his arms, gently rubbed her cheek and said, "Don't worry, Jiu, the merits of this world are of little use to me..."
If Gu Jiu wasn't a player, he would actually want to give this merit to her.
The merit is indeed not great for him, but it is very useful for the players. When the players reach the S-level world, they will find that people with merit will be luckier in the S-level world and encounter fewer obstacles.
It’s a pity that players don’t have the right to create the underworld.
"Even if it's useless to you, it's what you deserve." Gu Ji said unhappily.
Lu Ji smiled, but his smile was a little silly, which was totally inconsistent with the majestic demeanor of the noble and stern Lord of the Underworld.
Gu Jiu looked at him and couldn't help but smile. He kissed the corner of his lips and murmured, "Silly."
Lu Ji hugged her waist tightly and lowered his eyes.
He is not stupid at all. He has got the best girl in the world. She is willing to face all the challenges for him and make painstaking plans so that he can survive in the future.
Lu Ji brought Gu Jiu to the highest point of the Senluo Hall.
This is a place that only the Lord of the Underworld can reach, and from here one can see the entire underworld.
Gu Jiu saw the river again, coming from the sky and flowing into the underworld. Flowers bloomed and fell on both sides of the river, and there were balls of fire on the ground, emitting a faint light.
She pointed to the river and asked, "Is this the Styx?"
"It's the Wangchuan River." Lu Ji's cold voice was a little more ethereal. "The water of the Wangchuan River can make ghosts forget their past lives and be reborn as humans." After a pause, he continued, "It is also a place for soul tempering. Anyone who has committed the ten most heinous crimes will be thrown into the Wangchuan River and have their souls tempered by the water of the Wangchuan River. The duration of their soul tempering is determined by the sins they committed in their lifetime, and the shortest is a hundred years."
Those whose souls are tempered will experience extremely terrible pain, which is worse than having their hearts pierced and their bones dug out.
"Is it more terrifying than the mountains of swords and seas of fire and the eighteen levels of hell?" Gu Jiu asked.
Lu Ji nodded, "A while ago, a ghost went to the human world and captured the souls of several extremely vicious people and threw them in. Within a quarter of an hour, they would rather their souls fly away than endure the pain of soul tempering."
Gu Jiu said "Oh", not surprised.
This Forgetful River was formed by rules, but it was not established by the Lord of the Underworld himself. This shows how terrifying it is.
No wonder those Netherworld monsters came to the bank of the Forgotten River and refused to get close no matter what. They fled away at full speed and no longer chased her.
Gu Jiu looked towards a place a little further away.
Here, she saw almost the entire underworld, and it was like a fog was cleared away before her eyes. At the same time, she also understood what she was going to do next.
Gu Jiu accompanied him in Senluo Underworld for a day and then prepared to leave.
Lu Ji was obviously reluctant to leave, "Ajiu, stay a few more days, there's actually no rush."
The Netherworld is his territory. Who can leave unless he allows it? Even the great master who protects the human world can only stay in the Netherworld obediently.
"Forget it." Gu Jiu changed into combat-appropriate clothes and said without looking back, "Let's finish the mission quickly so we can go back to Wujie City. Also, I brought the Taoist nuns from Qingyun Temple with me this time, so I have to be responsible for them."
After hearing no sound for a while, she turned around and saw the man standing there silently, his figure shrouded in darkness.
You don't need to look to know that the jealous person is being jealous again.
She said helplessly: "They are all girls, you don't have to worry."
He said slowly: "The reason I was able to pursue you was because I looked like a girl." He had made her gay and then straight.
Gu Jiu was speechless.
So this person not only worries about men, but also women, and he doesn't feel tired at all.
Gu Jiu walked over with amusement, put his arms around his neck and kissed him, saying softly: "Be good, I will go back to Wujie City to wait for you. You build the underworld well here, and I will reward you when I go back."
"What reward?"
She leaned close to his ear and whispered something. The man's eyes lit up, and although he was still reluctant to let her go, he did not keep her.
