The City of the Dead has been eerily quiet recently. The ghosts in the City of the Dead have no way of being reincarnated directly because they did not live to see their full life span. Even if they stay in the City of the Dead for a long time, they will have to earn a lot of good karma before they can be reincarnated into the six realms of reincarnation.
To earn good karma, one has to work, and working in the underworld takes time. One has to work hard for who knows how many years to earn good karma for reincarnation.
If you want to live like an ordinary person in your next life, without any major disasters or misfortunes, and live in a well-off family, you will need more good karma.
This will undoubtedly take a lot of time, and for some ghosts, using work to exchange for these good deeds is undoubtedly a stupid way to go.
They have a better way.
That's snatch!
When King Biancheng and the Black Mountain Old Demon were the city lords, they did not manage the affairs of the city at all, and allowed the ghosts to rob at will. There were only so many opportunities for reincarnation, and whoever grabbed the first one got it.
But the new city lord suppressed the chaotic town of wrongful death, and the original vicious ghosts were eliminated in an instant. Needless to say, the remaining ghosts who survived by chance understood that the new city lord must hate those who committed serious sins.
The City of the Dead has entered a safe era, an era that is unimaginable in the chaotic underworld.
But this peace only lasted for a few years, maybe two years, maybe three years. Since the disappearance of the previous city lord Russell, the entire City of the Dead has fallen into a state of leaderlessness, and unrest has gradually begun.
After learning that Russell had entered Cangzhu Mountain where Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had sealed the mythical beast Suzaku, the evil hidden in his heart quietly sprouted, and he was ready to reincarnate as long as he could make some money.
He may not come back...
Chaos and killing, the entire City of the Dead fell into madness again, groups of people began to snatch Yin De, some people were watching at first, but gradually, seeing that no one was controlling the situation, even the Yin soldiers joined in the snatch, and a greater chaos was born.
But soon, the ghosts of the City of the Dead discovered something wrong.
I saw that the dark and dark sky that never saw the sun became brighter and brighter, a brightness that could be seen with the naked eye.
Many ghosts have never seen such a sight. As the underworld, the sky here is always gray, there is never any sun or moon, and there is never any sun or moon.
At this moment, something strange happened in the sky. There was only one possibility, that something strange must have happened.
"Look! It's actually the sun!"
I don't know who said that, the voice was trembling, joyful, fearful and unbelievable. In the distant sky, a bright sun was getting closer and closer, dyeing the whole sky a bright color.
The sun, it’s the sun, a sun that hasn’t been seen for hundreds or thousands of years.
The ghosts stood there blankly, some of them shed hot tears. They had lived in the dark for hundreds and thousands of years, and this was the first time they saw the sun rise. The feeling of hope dispersed the darkness in their hearts.
But soon, they couldn't help but panic. They were no longer human, but ghosts. Ghosts were afraid of ghosts. If such a big sun hit them, they would definitely be scared to death!
"Is that the sun?"
"How can there be a sun in the underworld?"
"Could it be the legendary beast Golden Crow?"
"Bullshit, the Golden Crow burned the human race back then, leaving thousands of miles of scorched earth. The great god Dayi led the ancestors of the human race to wipe out the entire race a long time ago. How could there still be a Golden Crow?"
"Oh my god, it's so hot!"
"It's so scary! If we let it fly over here, we'll definitely be doomed!"
The blazing flames burned the entire City of the Dead. Just when all the ghosts were worried, several of them began to feel hot all over and disappeared in the screams of terror.
This horrifying scene made the surviving ghosts feel terrified and unable to utter a word.
The sun is shining brightly in the sky, where should they escape to
But what they didn't expect happened was that the big sun in the sky became smaller and smaller, and the dazzling golden light dissipated, revealing a giant bird with three claws, which looked extremely mysterious.
The blood-red body and unique appearance were still remembered by some people.
"It's not the Golden Crow, it's the Vermillion Bird, the one that was suppressed by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!"
The terrifying vermilion color finally reminded some people of the horror that was once dominated by Suzaku, a legend that was passed down from mouth to mouth in the City of the Dead.
Under the gaze of many ghosts, the Vermillion Bird that was hovering in half the sky slowly put away the flames on its body, and a person slowly fell from the sky, with fiery red hair, fiery red eyebrows, and fiery red clothes...
This guy looks so familiar...
Those who were more discerning immediately knelt down and shouted, "Greetings, Lord City Lord!"
Is this the city lord?
Everyone looked at the enchantingly beautiful face and finally discerned a hint of familiarity. Thinking of the chaotic City of the Dead and the ghosts that were burned and scattered, they could not help but kneel down and tremble.
Russell was hanging high in the air and looked at them quietly. Without saying anything, he slapped them and easily wiped out tens of thousands of ghost soldiers.
A bunch of trash...
I have only been practicing in seclusion for a few years, but I can't even suppress a small city, and I am fighting with these ghosts to steal Yinde...
Yin soldiers, hehe...
"From today on, any ghost who dares to take action in the City of the Wrongly Dead will be thrown into the eighteen levels of hell and will never be able to reincarnate!"
"I need ghost soldiers. Anyone who has reached a certain level of cultivation can enter the City Lord's Mansion and become my ghost soldier."
"remember!"
"In the City of the Dead, all the ghosts shall chant my name. In the future reincarnation, I will save you from the sea of suffering!"
This City of the Dead is where Russell is harvesting energy points now, and this city must not be lost.
He even planned to continuously recruit ghost soldiers to conquer other ghost kings entrenched in the vast land of the underworld, and incorporate them all into his own faith.
However, this is also a later expectation, because Russell knows that the most important thing for him now is to improve his strength.
The current strength is far from enough.
He is just a mysterious immortal, which was unimaginable in the past. He is an existence that other immortals look up to.
But this is only the middle level of the Heavenly Palace. A little further up, there are the Golden Immortals, the Daluo, and the almighty Emperor of Heaven.
At least one must become Daluo, jump out of the long river of time, and possess endless life, then one will be qualified to gradually unify the entire underworld and make it the place of one's own faith and deification.
Russell began to practice in the City of the Dead again, digesting the rich energy brought by the numerous ghosts in the City of the Dead. His cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds, getting higher day by day.
One day, he woke up from his cultivation because a man came to him.
The strongest fighter in the underworld—Meng Po.
"What is it?"
"There is a person who has reincarnated."
"who?"
"Emperor of Heaven!"
"What???"
