"Perhaps the explosion shook the earth's veins; perhaps the resentment of countless dead souls attracted some unknown power, and endless thick fog surged from the depths of the earth's fissures."

"People who should have died, their consciousness and fragments of obsession actually re-coalesced in this thick fog, and eventually turned into 'ghosts'."

The Soul Master turned his gaze to Li Yu: "What's even more terrifying is that the explosion was just the tip of the iceberg."

"As far as I know, it wasn't just Kangzhen that gave birth to the ghosts at that time. Around the same time, ghosts began to emerge like a plague throughout the Central Plains."

Upon hearing this, Li Yu suddenly remembered the number of ghosts in the underworld and immediately grasped the key contradiction, asking:

"The number of ghosts in Zhongzhou has increased significantly, but there is only one Kang Town here. Even if we include those outsiders and the number of deaths is high, it is impossible for such a large number of ghosts to be generated in this underground kingdom, right?"

The Soul Master wasn't targeting Li Yu; he simply let out a mocking sneer.

"Of course not! Kangzhen's population isn't even a fraction of what it is!"

He slowly raised his head, his golden gaze seemingly piercing through the top of the tower, looking down at the unseen ground, and began to explain the reason:

"As I just said, perhaps due to the dense fog, the number of wandering spirits in various parts of Zhongzhou has increased dramatically."

"But if the number of ghosts only increases and never decreases, it will eventually create huge hidden dangers, not to mention that some ghosts still retain consciousness."

"Zhongzhou tried everything, but there were very few Awakened Ones who could restrain the Wraiths, let alone eliminate them."

The Soul Master looked at the Ghost Huang Ya and added:

"In most cases, the so-called elimination of ghosts is nothing more than using powerful abilities to temporarily disperse the ghost's form."

"After a period of time, the ghosts will reassemble, often with a deeper resentment, making them more ferocious and lethal than before."

"The ghosts have become rampant in the Central Plains, an incurable disease that the higher-ups are at their wits' end. Finally... they came up with a method, an extremely foolish method!"

Even the Soul Master recounted with some disbelief:

"They want to find a place to dispose of all the wraiths born in the Central Plains in one go."

Li Yu instantly understood and replied:

"Therefore, the underground rift valley became the final resting place for the ghosts of Zhongzhou."

The Soul Master nodded silently, his face expressionless.

"The establishment of Kangcheng was ostensibly for the development of underground mineral veins, but its core purpose was to use Kangcheng as a processing plant for the ghosts of the entire Central Continent."

“A ‘drop channel’ leading to the depths of the earth’s fissure was built, like a sewer, continuously ‘dumping’ large quantities of the ghosts captured from all over the Central Plains into this dark underground abyss.”

"However, they were all wrong..." The Soul Master's voice carried a hint of sarcasm:

"Man proposes, God disposes; in just one year! In just one year!"

"The number of ghosts being continuously filled into the ground has reached a terrifying critical point. They gather, dissipate, and gather again... the resulting dense fog has exceeded the carrying capacity of the Great Rift Valley."

"Dense fog erupted from the fissures in the earth's veins, flowing back onto the surface and affecting Kangcheng and an even wider area. A new disaster has been born..."

The Soul Master looked at Huang Ya, his tone calm but every word piercing: "This is your 'heroic sacrifice' back then, utterly meaningless!"

At this moment, Huang Ya, who was standing to the side, looked dejected.

I thought he would change everything, but to my surprise, nothing changed.

If he had known that his conflict with Su Peng would lead to this outcome, he probably wouldn't have done it.

Pain and regret nearly tore Huang Ya apart.

After hearing everything and learning the truth about the establishment of Kangcheng, Li Yu looked at the old man in front of her who had established the Ghost Kingdom in the underground world and felt a sense of admiration.

It is already difficult for a human to survive in a ghostly realm filled with resentment and chaos, let alone become a ruler. The hardships and processes involved are unimaginable.

Noticing the change in Li Yu's gaze, the Soul Master merely smiled faintly. He slowly rose, his movements somewhat stiff.

"When I found myself not engulfed by the explosion, but instead waking up in this thick fog, becoming the only human island in the sea of ​​ghosts, I began to try to understand them."

The Soul Master's voice became deep and emotional:

"I discovered that ghosts also have consciousness. Many newly formed ghosts have a chaotic and simple consciousness, like newborn infants, with only fragments of their strongest obsessions from their previous lives remaining."

"I started to learn about ghosts and tried to communicate with them."

“Unlike complex, changeable, and desire-filled humans, ghosts are much simpler. I only need to give them a little guidance to help them stabilize in this chaos, and they will repay me with pure trust and dependence.”

The Soul Master straightened his body, and his tone gradually changed, a kind of fanatical idealism beginning to ignite in his golden eyes:

"There is no endless infighting among humans;"

"There is no arrogance or violent tendency originating from the depths of human genes!"

"There are no elaborate lies, malicious schemes, or endless greed!"

The Soul Master's voice suddenly rose, becoming increasingly agitated. His aged body trembled slightly from the intense emotional fluctuations, even triggering a violent cough:

"Ahem... I've verified it. I've proven it with this underground kingdom! A society entirely composed of ghosts can be so harmonious! So pure! So perfect!"

He suddenly spread his arms wide, his resolute voice echoing in the space at the top of the tower:

"Then! What a perfect world it would be if all the flawed humans in the world were transformed into ghosts!"

Li Yuxin's amazing drama is shocking!

Unexpectedly, the Soul Master, who was perfectly normal just moments ago, suddenly spoke of a grand ideal that could change the world.

He had anticipated that the Soul Master's ideology would be different from others, but he never expected it to be so radical and extreme!

It was so extreme that he didn't know how to respond.

Transform all of humanity.

This shocking declaration is no longer a simple power grab, but a complete biological replacement!

The Soul Master seemed still immersed in the grand blueprint he had drawn, his voice filled with a passion for accusation and redemption:

"Look at that filthy world on the ground!"

"For this rich mine, they came from all over the country and, relying on their so-called strength and power, forcibly divided it up."

"In order to seize more, they did not hesitate to brandish their butcher's knife in the dark and uproot their competitors from other forces!"

The Soul Master's sharp gaze once again pierced Huang Ya, who was curled up in pain:

"For the sake of profit, they didn't even hesitate to choose mutual destruction! Burying their families and future with their own hands!"

"That's human nature!"
