Li Yu nodded slightly, raised her hand to gesture for him to stand up, her tone carrying a hint of casualness from their old acquaintance:

"Huang Ya, you don't need to do this in private."

Upon hearing this, Huang Ya did not stand up. Instead, he raised his head, his expression unusually serious, and refused in a deep voice:

"No, Lord of Rain."

“You are now the sole ruler of the underground kingdom, no longer ‘Li Yu’.”

Huang Ya knew that since he had become Li Yu's underground agent, he had to maintain Li Yu's absolute authority in the underground world and could no longer call out Li Yu's name directly.

Any approach that might undermine this authority is unnecessary and could even pose a threat.

Li Yu remained silent for a moment, a faint hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

Huang Ya's attitude changed so quickly; it seems he's about to regard him as a god as well.

Li Yu turned to look at the several ghost generals who remained kneeling on one knee with their heads bowed.

He slowly raised his right hand, and a cluster of incredibly concentrated, fiery red flames suddenly ignited at his fingertips.

Several armor-piercing arrows floated out and hovered beside Li Yu, rapidly absorbing a large amount of fire energy.

Then the flames of the burning arrow died down, leaving behind a radiant glow that contained terrifying destructive power, and it slowly floated in front of the ghost generals.

"Take this arrow and go to the edge of the territory to subdue all the wandering ghost tribes."

Li Yu's voice rang out, and a cold, inorganic light suddenly emanated from his left golden eye, subtly influencing his emotions and making his voice echo like ice in the silent top of the deep tower:

"Those who submit may live."

"Those who defy will be annihilated, body and soul!"

A chilling killing intent instantly spread.

The ghost generals trembled in unison, not only feeling the majesty far surpassing that of the Soul Lord, but also sensing the powerful force within the suspended arrow that was enough to incinerate the very essence of their souls.

The new Lord's commands are concise and ruthless; they are an unquestionable will!

They immediately kowtowed in the most humble posture, their voices hoarse yet firm:

"Thank you, Lord Rain, for bestowing upon me the arrow of divine punishment!!"

"We swear to carry out the Rain Lord's command to the death! We will ensure that the Rain Lord's might extends to every inch of the dark earth!"

Upon receiving the decree, the ghost generals immediately rose and each took the arrows, which were filled with destructive power, that floated before them.

Then, they transformed into streaks of shadowy figures and rushed out of the deep tower, re-merging into the grim army of the Underworld Guards outside.

Outside the deep tower, countless Netherworld Guards stood in neat formation, shrouded in soul mist, seemingly awaiting the Rain Lord's latest orders.

After the ghost general relayed the order, the steel torrent of ghost guards was activated once again.

They will carry the will of the new god "Rain Lord" and embark on a journey to the edge of the underground kingdom, achieving a unification that even the Soul Lord could not accomplish!

They are the guardians of the underworld, determined to imprint the name of the Rain Lord and absolute order upon every corner of the entire underground world!

A new conquest has begun.

As the Netherworld Guard army departed, Li Yu took out another armor-piercing arrow, gathered energy once more, and a ray of golden light flowed into his left golden pupil, enveloping his entire body in a layer of golden radiance.

Then Li Yu handed the golden arrow to Huang Ya:

"Huang Ya, with this arrow you can mobilize the Underworld Guards."

"Your primary task is to go to the passageway area connecting to the Kangcheng Mine, establish and stabilize the ghost exchange point on this underground side, and make preparations as soon as possible."

"Once I return to Kangcheng, I will send people to widen and reinforce the mine tunnel to complete the final connection."

"Thank you, Lord Rain!" Huang Ya stepped forward and respectfully accepted the golden arrow, his eyes blazing with unprecedented hope and determination.

For him, the days of hiding all day as a wandering ghost came to an end at this moment!

From this moment on, it no longer had to worry about its sister's safety.

Under Li Yu's care, the brother and sister were finally able to live a stable life, even though... he had become a ghost.

Huang Ya looked up at Li Yu's departing figure, his chest churning with countless words of gratitude and loyalty, but in the end, they all turned into a more resolute silence.

Perhaps, doing a good job of what Li Yu asked of me is far more powerful than any empty vow.

Li Yu walked out of the deep tower.

However, he did not leave the underground world directly, but returned to that edge of the land and passed through the crack between the towering rock walls once again.

As Li Yu stepped out from the other side of the crack, the scene before him made him pause slightly in surprise.

The once deserted rock wall was now teeming with a large, dark mass of ghosts!

They were no longer huddled among the distant stone buildings, but were busily working, with the clanging and hammering sounds filling the air, as if they were chiseling something.

From afar, one could hear the centurion's highly inflammatory voice urging:

"Quickly! Everyone, give it your all! We must perfectly inscribe this miracle and complete the rock paintings as soon as possible."

"Under the watchful eyes of the gods, our City of Divine Descent will surely rise! No more hunger, no more plunder, no more fear!"

Encouraged by him, the surrounding ghosts worked even harder.

Li Yu: "......"

Isn't this a bit too devout?

When Li Yu quietly approached and saw the huge carvings on the rock wall, he was stunned again.

Fine stone chips fell down, and the rock paintings were beginning to take shape.

The engravings merged into unfamiliar patterns, outlining a familiar silhouette on the rock face...

At the very center of the rock painting is a majestic deity holding a longbow, surrounded by light and flames.

At the feet of the god, a small ghost followed, and below him were countless ghost subjects kneeling and praying.

Li Yu instantly realized that the ghosts were depicting himself.

Li Yu's approach was immediately noticed by the outermost ghosts.

Upon recognizing Li Yu, the ghost let out a shrill, distorted scream of excitement, and abruptly knelt down:

"Gods! Gods have descended!"

Like a domino effect, gasps and shouts of worship quickly spread, and all the ghosts stopped what they were doing and knelt down in fervent worship toward Li Yu with great excitement.

The ghosts believed from the bottom of their hearts that it must have been their devout act of carving miracles that had brought them the gods' favor once again.

Amidst the frenzied prayers around him, Li Yu quickly pinpointed the location of the little ghost in the chaos and headed straight for the centurion.

The centurion's heart pounded wildly. He turned around and looked behind him, finally realizing that the little ghost's position in the gods' hearts was far more important than he had initially imagined!

However, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, extremely glad that he had treated Little Ghost fairly well during this period, and had even immediately made Little Ghost the divine messenger of the City of Gods.

If there is the slightest negligence... the consequences will be unimaginable.

As Li Yu approached, the centurion hurriedly knelt down, and at the same time gently pushed the somewhat bewildered little ghost behind him forward, his voice excited:

"Welcome to the arrival of the gods!"
