Kui Kui smiled politely and said, "If I were truly a remnant of the demon race, I would naturally not dare to come. But I am not. I wanted to find a way to the immortal realm to prove my innocence, so I came."

King Yama frowned and said, "If you want to go to the celestial realm, why have you come to my underworld? Isn't there a path from the mortal realm to the celestial realm?"

"It's gone. The passage has been destroyed. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself."

Yama, the King of Hell, moved his slender fingers, and the underworld officials beside him immediately bowed down.

He whispered a few words, and the underworld messenger vanished.

Yama, the King of Hell, continued, "How do you intend to prove your innocence?"

"The Three Lives Stone of Tianfu Palace".

"The Book of Life and Death from the underworld will suffice; why go to such lengths? Someone, bring me the Book of Life and Death."

King Yama accepted the Book of Life and Death from the underworld messengers and continued, "The Heavenly Book is the 'Investiture of the Gods,' the Earthly Book is the 'Classic of Mountains and Seas,' and the Human Book is the 'Book of Life and Death,' collectively known as the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man. The Human Book, the 'Book of Life and Death,' records the lifespans of all living beings. Since you are human, you are naturally listed in this Human Book."

As he spoke, he slowly turned the page, searching for Kui Kui's name, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

“I can’t find it. I’m not human.” Kui Kui didn’t want to waste time and said directly.

After a long silence, Yama, the King of Hell, put down the Book of Life and Death and said, "Indeed, your name is not on it."

"Impossible! Kui Kui's name is on the Book of Life and Death, I've seen it before!" Old Lady Wang rushed to Yama's side, picked up the Book of Life and Death and started flipping through it.

Her movements were so fast that she didn't seem like an old woman at all.

The underworld officials in the hall, including Yama, the King of Hell on his high seat, never expected that Old Lady Wang would suddenly appear.

After checking the documents several times and finding that Kui Kui's name was indeed not there, Old Lady Wang realized her lapse in composure.

King Yama slammed his gavel and roared, "How dare you!"

His fair face darkened instantly, and he glared angrily, saying, "When have you lowly underworld officials ever seen this Book of Life and Death?"

Old Mrs. Wang was so frightened that she almost lost her mind. She quickly put down the Book of Life and Death, and ran to the hall with her small feet. She was about to kneel down when a hand stopped her.

Kui Kui doesn't want to acknowledge Old Lady Wang, but that doesn't mean she'll watch Old Lady Wang kneel before her.

After Old Lady Wang regained her footing, she let go of her hand, took a few steps forward discreetly, and stood in front of Old Lady Wang.

"King Yama, the focus right now should be on my identity. Why are you making things difficult for a mere underworld official?"

Anyone who can become the king of a palace has a lot to lose face, and even King Yama was angered by Old Lady Wang's actions.

Seeing this, Kui Kui waved his hand behind his back to Old Lady Wang, signaling her to go first.

But Old Lady Wang dared not leave.

She was afraid that Yama, the King of Hell, would kill her, and even more afraid that Yama would kill Kui Kui.

She pretended to be blind and stood silently behind Kui Kui, without moving.

Kui Xiaodi was quick-witted. He covered Wang Laotai's mouth with one hand and pulled her out of the main hall with the other.

Old Lady Wang's cultivation was inferior to his, so she was dragged out of the hall.

"What is your relationship with those underworld officials? If you're not human, then what are you?"

Kui Kui did not answer Yama's first question, but he also did not conceal his identity.

"I am the reincarnation of a divine stone, Nuwa's little stone."

Yama, the King of Hell, had a stern face that grew even darker. He muttered to himself, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

There was only one divine stone that wasn't used to mend the sky, and I happened to have seen it before.

That's utter nonsense—"I own a fabric shop!"

Kuikui knew he didn't believe her, but he didn't care.

She continued, "The Three Lives Stone can reflect the past and present lives of all living beings, and it is also the only way for me to prove my innocence. However, I have nowhere to go in heaven, so I have come to the underworld to seek a way out. I hope that King Yama will show me the way."

"Just because you say you're the reincarnation of a divine stone, does that mean you are? If you truly are a remnant of the demon race, wouldn't it be a grave crime of deceiving the emperor if I took you to the immortal realm?"

King Yama stood up, placed one hand on his waist and the other behind his back, and slowly walked down from his high seat.

In ancient times, Cao Zhi could compose a poem in seven steps; now, even the King of Hell can compose a thought in seven steps.

"It's not impossible for me to take you to the celestial realm, but you must at least prove that you are not utterly wicked. There is a magical artifact in the underworld called the Mirror of Retribution."

"If you can pass the test of the Mirror of Karma, I will risk taking you to the Immortal Realm."

After comforting Old Lady Wang, Kui Xiaodi had just stepped into the main hall when he heard these words.

He quickly walked to Kui Kui's side and whispered, "Boss, no! There are no good people in front of the Mirror of Retribution. We just killed so many..." He didn't continue, but just shook his head.

Kui couldn't remember anything about his life before he died, but he remembered everything about what happened after he died.

The Mirror of Retribution is located to the right of the first hall, the Hall of King Qin Guang, after entering the Gate of Hell.

Those who do more evil than good will be taken to the Mirror of Retribution.

The Mirror of Retribution is ten feet high, and the mirror is ten spans in circumference. It hangs facing east, with seven characters on the top that read: "No good person stands before the Mirror of Retribution."

This can also be considered a review. If a good person dies, their spiritual light shines brightly before the Mirror of Retribution, where everything is clear and empty. Because there is no shadow in their heart, their true form cannot be seen clearly.

But evil spirits are different. The ghost messengers will judge them based on the evil deeds they committed in their previous life, and determine which level of hell they will be sent to.

King Yama, seeing their reactions, laughed and said, "What, you dare not?"

Kui Kui laughed and said, "Why wouldn't I dare?"
