Xiao Li stared at her mangled remains from the car accident, her face filled with sorrow. What had she been working so hard for the past 25 years? She was finally about to succeed, owning her own little home and a car. But this accident happened right after she received the property deed. It was truly tragic!

Yes, Xiao Li had just been in a car accident, but she hadn't disappeared. She was floating above her body, unable to go back. She blinked, tears welling up in her eyes.

Suddenly, a vortex appeared behind her, and she was sucked in by a suction force and disappeared.

The thick fog obscured everything, making it impossible to see anything. Yet, a small path appeared amidst the fog, as if the fog was slowly parting to make way for it.

Two figures appeared in the middle of the road. The person in front wore a Taoist robe and a tall hat, and carried something that looked like a ruler. He walked slowly without making a sound. Behind him was a woman whose long hair covered her face, and she kept her head down so that her features could not be seen.

As the fog parted, the path came to an end, revealing a magnificent palace. Surrounded by white mist, it appeared mysterious and enigmatic.

With a loud bang, the door opened. Two people went inside, and then the door closed behind them.

The woman looked up; it was Xiao Li. She looked around. Torches lit the area, and two rows of strange people, or rather, creatures, stood against the walls. A man sat in the center of the hall, his face covered in a full beard, looking very imposing. Xiao Li thought, "This must be Yama." Beside him stood a pale-faced scholar, who seemed to be smiling.

Xiao Li felt uneasy. The Taoist priest beside her pushed her hard, and she fell to her knees. The Taoist priest bowed and said, "Lord Yama, Xiao Li has been brought here!" Then he stepped aside.

"Bang!!" The gavel slammed down. Xiao Li shivered.

"Is the one kneeling Xiao Li?" Yan Jun's voice was loud and clear, making Xiao Li inexplicably tremble with fear.

"Yes..." While answering, Xiaoli glanced up. Good heavens, the King of Hell was terrifying; he exuded an imposing aura even without being angry. She also racked her brains, recalling everything she had done in the past 25 years. She hadn't done anything against her conscience, so she shouldn't have gotten herself into a deep fryer or anything like that...

King Yama stretched out his hand: "Judge Lu, bring me the Book of Life and Death!" The pale-faced scholar beside him bowed and said: "Yes!"

Before long, Judge Lu placed a booklet in King Yama's hands and bowed before retreating. King Yama opened the booklet and searched carefully. Finally, he turned to a page that remained untouched.

As Yama looked at the body, he frowned. He looked up at Xiao Li, pondering. This woman was a person of great merit, and her life was not meant to end. But now she could not be brought back to life; her body had already been cremated. What should be done?

Looking at Xiao Li kneeling down, King Yan said, "Rise and take a seat!" King Yan glanced at Judge Lu, then got up and went into the back hall. Judge Lu glanced at Xiao Li and followed King Yan.

Someone brought a chair over, and Xiao Li stood up. After watching the two adults in the hall leave, she felt even more uneasy.

"Judge Lu, this woman has accumulated merits, what should we do?" King Yama sat down with a worried expression, picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Judge Lu was taken aback, seemingly not expecting this. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Since she cannot be brought back to life, let her be resurrected in another body."

"Would she agree? After all, it's not her own body." Yan Jun still had some concerns. Lu Pan thought for a moment, then took out a small ring from his pocket: "If she doesn't agree, give her this dilapidated little space. Time travel is popular these days, the young lady might be quite happy."

It has to be said, Judge Lu was right. After agreeing, the two turned around and sat down again in the main hall. "Ahem, ahem," Yan Jun said somewhat awkwardly. "That Xiao Li, right? The young lady can go with Judge Lu; he has his own arrangements. I'll take my leave first." With that, he hurried away.

Judge Lu was dumbfounded, never expecting to be tricked by King Yama. Seeing Xiao Li looking over expectantly, he gave an awkward smile and waved his hand, saying, "Miss Xiao Li, this way please!" Xiao Li's mind raced, wondering what had happened, but she obediently followed Judge Lu over.

Entering the inner hall, Judge Lu rubbed his hands together, his smile becoming even more gentle: "Hehe, Miss Xiaoli. Have you ever heard of time travel and rebirth?" Xiaoli paused for a moment, then nodded: "I've read those kinds of novels."

A sly glint flashed in Lu Pan's eyes: "Is that so? Hehe, because of the good deeds you accumulated in your past life, we've decided to send you to ancient times to be reborn. What do you think?"

Xiao Li was a little surprised. Did she still have a choice? Not to drink the Meng Po soup? And still have her memories? But she still wanted to stay in the modern world. Ancient times were so dangerous; women's fates were so uncertain, they couldn't make their own decisions. So many rules—it was truly terrifying.

She tentatively shook her head, her eyes fixed on Lu Pan. Sure enough, she noticed something strange. Lu Pan was actually a little nervous. He blinked and chuckled, "Why don't you want to? Hehe~ Ancient times are great, the air is fresh, the environment is good, and all the food is organic. Modern people all yearn for that!" Lu Pan racked his brains, trying to figure out how to change this young girl's mind.

There was something strange about this Judge Lu. After some speculation, Xiao Li said, "I still want to go back to the modern world. I worked hard for 25 years and finally bought a house and a car. I had savings and was just about to start living a good life when you guys brought me here. Sigh, I'd better go back."

The more Lu Pan listened, the more miserable he felt. He cursed Yama in his heart and said with a bitter face, "You can't go back. Your body has already been cremated." Xiao Li looked like she was about to cry, pitifully looking at Lu Pan with pleading eyes.

Lu Pan took out the small ring from his pocket and continued to tempt her, "Look, this is the legendary portable space. If you agree, I'll give it to you." Xiao Li remained silent, only looking at Lu Pan with her big, watery eyes.

"Oh dear, tell me, how can I possibly agree?" Lu Pan felt his heart pounding with fear; he was truly at his wit's end.

Xiao Li chuckled. She was an orphan in the modern world with no relatives. Since she couldn't go back, it didn't matter where she went. Since there were still benefits to be had, she had already made a profit. She held out her hand, and Lu Pan had no choice but to place the ring in her palm.

Lu Pan pointed at her head, and Xiao Li felt something separate out of her head. She saw a wisp of white mist fly out from her head and fly towards the ring. It disappeared into the ring in an instant. The ring lit up and automatically flew up and put on Xiao Li's little finger. It flashed a few times and then disappeared.

Xiao Li knew the ring was on her finger, but no one else could see it. She also had a strange connection with the ring, as if it were a part of her body.

Xiao Li bowed deeply to Judge Lu, her eyes sparkling, yet also showing a hint of confusion: "Thank you, Judge Lu. This way, I can have some protection in ancient times. Also, I want to know why I was able to be reborn instead of reincarnated."

Judge Lu was quite reluctant. He looked at Xiao Li's little finger and, seeing her polite manner, nodded: "I'm glad you're willing. Actually, it's because you have accumulated merit and your life shouldn't end, but your body has already decomposed. Only a young girl from ancient times has a destiny that matches yours, so... Hehe~ I hope you can understand."

Xiao Li was a cheerful and optimistic person. After thinking for a moment, she smiled and said, "Since I can't go back, so be it. There's no use thinking about it. I won't hold it against you. In that case, send me to be reborn."

Actually, she was just curious about the new life in ancient times. Lu Pan smiled slightly and took the lead, saying, "Follow me." The two arrived at a large spinning wheel one after the other. Lu Pan pressed a few buttons, and the wheel slowly began to spin, faster and faster. Gradually, a black hole appeared in the center, slowly expanding until it was the size of a bowl. Lu Pan flicked his sleeve, and Xiao Li was involuntarily flown towards the black hole. Looking back, Lu Pan smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Pan's voice came to her ears, "Never speak of the underworld to anyone, remember that!" A wave of dizziness washed over her, and Xiao Li fainted.
