He was somewhat puzzled. He had thought he only had a little over 600,000 merits, which he had earned by ferrying many souls across the River of Oblivion. He hadn't expected it to be so much.

At this moment, Mi Li's voice rang in his mind: "Have you forgotten how many times you have saved the world? Not only have you saved billions of lives from slaughter, but you have also prevented the world from falling into the hands of demons. This is the source of most of your merits. In addition, some of your merits were given to you by that person. Now that you are the Netherworld Emperor, if you have no merits to use to control the ceremony, you will probably be laughed at."

Zu An was overjoyed: "Empress Master, you're awake?"

"Hush, your every word and action is being watched by billions of the dead," Mi Li warned.

“That’s easy.” With a thought, Zu An disconnected the “live stream.” He had a feeling that he could now control everything in the underworld.

Seeing the light and shadow disappear from the sky, the millions of dead let out a sigh of lingering regret. The headless ghost in the City of the Wrongfully Dead muttered to himself, "Brother Zu was truly amazing. Alas, unlike me, who became a headless ghost..."

The woman under the Bridge of Helplessness bit her lip, trying several times to chase after the figures in the scene, but unfortunately, the surrounding divine light flickered, and she was unable to leave.

Meanwhile, Zu'an was chatting with Mi Li. Mi Li said, "You've been through so much, how could I possibly fall asleep? It's just that it wasn't convenient for me to come out before."

Zu'an's heart skipped a beat: "You're worried about that Feng..."

Mi Li hurriedly reminded him, "Be careful what you say. You are no longer in those special spaces and have lost your protection. If you mention any overly powerful beings, it will bring disaster."

Zuan was somewhat annoyed: "Now that I've become the Netherworld Emperor myself, am I still not allowed to mention those names?"

Mi Li explained, “To some extent, your current state is somewhat…abnormal. Your rank is very high, but your strength has not kept pace with it. Of course, there’s no need to worry about that. Now that you’ve become the Netherworld Emperor, the origin of this world is even stronger. In the future, you can also go to other worlds. With your talent, you should be able to grow rapidly.”

Zuan nodded. He did indeed feel that without the suppression of the world's origin, his cultivation was increasing.

“By the way, I seem to sense that this underworld is somewhat…” Zuan thought for a moment and finally found a description, “somewhat incomplete, as if this world is flawed.”

Mi Li nodded and said, "That's right. There are other Netherworlds in the universe. In the future, when you collect and merge those world fragments, you will not only make the entire Netherworld more complete, but you will also improve your strength."

Zuan asked curiously, "Could there be other Netherworld Emperors or something like that in those worlds?"

Mi Li shook her head slightly: "No, you have obtained the 'Great Canon of Life and Death in the Netherworld,' and you are the only supreme being of the Netherworld. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are other Netherworld gods in other worlds."

Zuan nodded. He had just roughly sensed that this world was actually severely damaged. The Five Ghost Emperors, the Ten Kings of Hell, the Judges, and even the Black and White Impermanence were gone.

What I saw before were just illusions and afterimages from the trials of the Fengdu Emperor. That must have been the complete Netherworld at some point in time many years ago.

Thinking of the Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, who had been his friends before, he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, wondering if they had long since disappeared into the river of history.

"Wait, how do you even know all this?" Zuan suddenly realized something.

“I know a lot of things. I also know that your keyboard system has obtained a new secret manual. Do you want to absorb it?” Mi Li suddenly said.

Zuan was taken aback and quickly entered his inner vision. Sure enough, he saw the F8 key on his keyboard flashing, with a message saying, "New secret manual detected. Absorb?"

Seeing this, Zu'an was stunned: "You even know this?"

Mi Li snorted: "I have a soul contract with you, we are bound by life and death, is it so strange that I know these things?"

Zuan felt a bit annoyed: "But I don't know so many of your secrets, I feel like I'm at a disadvantage."

A hint of amusement crept into Mi Li's voice: "You'll find out in the future."

Zuan looked at the flashing F8 key and hesitated: "What if the 'Great Canon of Life and Death in the Netherworld' is absorbed by the keyboard, causing me to lose my authority over the Netherworld?"

"Don't worry, this won't affect your authority in the Netherworld," Mi Li replied.

Zuan: "How do you know so much?"

"I just know, so tell me if you believe me or not," Mi Li said with a stern face.

Zuan laughed: "Of course I believe what my beautiful master says."

“Master is Master, what do you mean by ‘beauty’ Master? You have no manners.” Although Mi Li’s words were a reprimand, her tone seemed to carry a hint of pride, whether it was because of the word “beauty” or because of the word “Master”.

“Yes, beautiful master.” Zuan agreed to absorb it as soon as he spoke.

Soon, the "Grand Ceremony of Life and Death in the Netherworld" transformed into a stream of light and entered the F8 key, leaving only a tiny thumbnail pattern on the key.

At this moment, the keyboard system sounded, announcing that a new secret manual had been collected, unlocking a new system—the "Skill System"!

From now on, any object or entity you come into contact with will have a skill that you can learn. You can learn it immediately by spending a certain amount of rage points.

Note: The required rage points are related to the skill's level and rank. The more powerful the skill, the more rage points it requires. Some skills even require astronomical amounts of rage points.

Note 2: Of course, if you already possess some prerequisite skills or necessary foundational knowledge for this skill, the required rage value will be significantly reduced.
