“Indeed, a little.” Zu An thought to himself, “It’s not just them, aren’t you all enthusiastic?”

At this moment, Bai Wuchang chuckled and explained, "Actually, you can't blame them. You know, being the ferryman of the River of Oblivion is a lucrative job."

"A lucrative job?" Zuan was taken aback, unable to reconcile the idea of ​​a boatman having a lucrative job with reality.

“Of course it’s a lucrative job,” Black Impermanence said in a deep voice. “You know, after a person dies, our brothers capture the ghost and send it to the Gates of Hell. Then Ox-Head and Horse-Face are in charge, sending their men to escort it through the Yellow Springs Road, and then to the Qin Guang King’s Palace. After that, it’s time to cross the River of Oblivion. To cross the River of Oblivion, you can only be ferryed by a ferryman, and the ferryman never gives people a free ride; the ghosts have to pay the fare.”

Zuan was taken aback: "What money would a ghost have?"

"Of course there are. Generally, when a person dies in the mortal world, their relatives and descendants will burn a lot of paper money for them. On the contrary, some people who die violently are left as lonely ghosts without anyone to see them off, so they can't take the boat." Black Impermanence explained, "Without a ferry, those ghosts have to travel to enter the cycle of reincarnation, so they will risk swimming to the other side. In addition, some ghosts are cunning and use tricks to get on the boat, but in the end, they will be thrown into the River of Oblivion by the ferryman."

"The River of Oblivion is a magical river in the underworld. No matter what existence enters the River of Oblivion, its memories of a lifetime will be washed away, turning it into an idiot, and it will forever sink into the River of Oblivion as a water ghost. Over the years, countless water ghosts have gathered in the River of Oblivion. So once a new ghost accidentally falls into the River of Oblivion, they will desperately tear and grab it, not giving it a chance to get ashore, turning it into a water ghost like themselves, forever sinking into the River of Oblivion and unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation for liberation."

When Bai Wuchang talked about these things, he seemed to be gloating, clearly despising the perverted mentality of those water ghosts who wished others misfortune as well as themselves.

Zuan was astonished. He recalled that he had experienced the power of the River of Oblivion when he fought the War Priest. That was just a drop, yet its power was so immense. One could only imagine how terrifying the entire River of Oblivion would be.

At this moment, Bai Wuchang laughed: "Every ghost that enters the underworld, no matter how much power, wealth, or cultivation they had in life, has to pay the ferryman of the River of Oblivion a boat fare. Don't you think that's a lucrative job?"

“Indeed.” Zu An thought to himself, no wonder the Black and White Impermanence were so polite after they realized his identity. It seems that money really can make the devil turn the millstone.

"By the way, what's this about the Qin Guang King's Palace and reincarnation liberation that you just mentioned?" He recalled some of the terms the other party had just mentioned.

Black and White Impermanence originally wanted to get along with him. They had finally caught a newbie who knew nothing, so they were happy to share their knowledge and answer his questions: "Our Netherworld has ten Yama Kings. Each Yama King has his own palace. The Qin Guang King Palace is the residence of King Qin Guang. It is the first Yama King Palace that ghosts pass through when they enter."

"The main responsibility of the King Qin Guang's Palace is to determine whether we ghost messengers have arrested the wrong person. If we haven't, we begin to judge the ghost's good and evil deeds in life. If the good deeds outweigh the evil deeds, then we send them directly to the final King of Reincarnation Palace to enter the six realms of reincarnation and be reborn. If the evil deeds are more numerous, hehe, then they'll be in for a rough time." Bai Wuchang smiled particularly sinisterly.

Black Impermanence explained, "If one commits even more sins, one will enter the subsequent Yama Kings' Palaces. Depending on the severity of the sins, one will be sent to different regions to suffer endless punishments. Only after enduring countless years of torment in hell can one possibly cleanse their sins and be reincarnated in the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

"Of course, there are also some heinous criminals who will probably never be able to leave hell for all eternity."

Zaun had a sudden thought and remembered Kachir, so he took the opportunity to inquire about the Skinning Hell.

"The Hell of Skinning, it seems to be under the jurisdiction of the Biancheng King's Palace," Bai Wuchang replied after thinking for a moment.

"Are there ghost kings in hell?" Zuan then asked.

"Ghost King?" Bai Wuchang chuckled upon hearing this. "Those guys in Hell are just prisoners. With brothers like us around, what right do they have to call themselves king?"

Zuan was taken aback. There was no Ghost King. What was the deal with the Skin-Peeling Ghost King?

At this point, Black Impermanence explained, "It's just that hell is full of evil spirits. They are tortured day and night, and they inevitably have a lot of negative emotions to vent. So they often fight each other. Sometimes a region will compete to produce the strongest one. They call this the Ghost King in private, but it's just a joke to us."

Zuan frowned slightly, feeling that something was amiss: "Under what circumstances can such a Hell King roam freely?"

Black Impermanence was taken aback: "Generally speaking, only those who have completed their atonement and cleansed their sins are brought to the Hall of the King of Reincarnation and assigned to the Six Paths of Reincarnation. However, those who can become Ghost Kings are basically heinous criminals. How could they possibly cleanse their sins? So this situation does not exist."

"What if a ghost king really escapes?" Zu'an pressed.

White Impermanence laughed heartily: "Then unless all of us are dead."

The Black Impermanence's originally serious face now showed a hint of a smile, as if he had heard some funny joke.

Looking at the Black and White Impermanence, Zu'an's mind was filled with more and more doubts.

However, seeing that he couldn't get any useful information, he changed his question to something else: "By the way, you said that the Qin Guang King's Palace is responsible for judging a person's good and evil deeds in life, but with so many people in the world and so many things that have happened, can they possibly review them all?"

“You don’t know this,” Bai Wuchang laughed, his long tongue particularly eerie. “In the Qin Guang King’s Palace, there is a Mirror of Retribution. When any ghost looks into the Mirror of Retribution, all the deeds of its life will be revealed, especially the evil deeds it committed, so that every evil ghost will be convinced when it enters hell.”
