Gong Xi looked up at the sky again, her eyes filled with longing and sorrow as she gazed at the trapped vengeful spirits, as if trying to find some familiar figures among them.
The three were shocked upon hearing this, knowing that the Dragon Clan was not a good person, and that they were even suspected of being involved in the cataclysmic events that destroyed the world. They never imagined that the Dragon Clan had caused so much trouble in the Demon Realm as well.
The reason why these vengeful spirits of the gods have such deep resentment, which has lingered for many years, is that they must have suffered countless torments in this demonic palace back then, which is why they are unwilling to enter the underworld for reincarnation.
“These vengeful spirits have lost all their senses.” Yuan Qi sighed and warned, “We can’t continue like this. Their souls have been weakened by the resentment. If we don’t bring them into the underworld soon, they will be completely destroyed.”
Gong Xi took two steps back in shock, her eyes filled with panic. She grabbed You You beside her as if grasping at the last straw, and said helplessly, "You, please help me... please help me save their souls, okay?" Even if they were just remnants of souls, she couldn't bear to see her kin scattered and destroyed.
You You's heart softened, and she patted her hand, saying, "Yes, don't worry, I'll do my best." Then she turned to the person beside her, "Feng Rong, can your Red Lotus send them to the Underworld?"
Feng Rong shook her head and said, "I'm afraid that won't work. They are all gods and are not subject to my divine power. Besides, the resentment on their bodies is too heavy. Although my Phoenix True Fire can burn away the resentment, their souls are too weak. I'm afraid their souls will be burned away before the resentment is cleared."
Youyou was immediately in a dilemma. What should she do? Should she call the Underworld Envoy to come and collect the soul? But the Underworld Envoy had said that he couldn't come to the Demon Realm.
"Xiao You!" Yuan Qi suddenly spoke up, gesturing for her to look ahead, "Perhaps that one would work."
She turned her head and looked over, her eyes widening in surprise. Not far ahead, in the sky where the black ball had been, floated a brownish-yellow magical artifact. It looked like a small mirror and emanated a pure and ethereal aura, which vaguely matched the four extra skill icons in her mind.
"This is..." the 'Class' volume of the Yin Book.
A surge of joy welled up within her. So the final volume truly was hidden within that black sphere; now the Book of the Dead was complete. As a book of heavenly laws capable of controlling life and death, what about these vengeful spirits…?
"I understand!" Youyou was overjoyed and immediately walked forward. The Demon King Seal that had been blocking her way seemed to understand what she was going to do and followed her, its tail whipping up as it flew up and cleared a path for her.
Youyou walked to the last volume of the Yin Book, and with a flick of her wrist, the small mirror flew towards her palm. Almost instantly, the other four volumes on her body seemed to sense this and all flew out, dancing joyfully in front of her.
All five scrolls took flight, spinning in the air one after another. The five items began to emit a dazzling golden light, and then slowly merged into one. The blinding golden light illuminated the entire hall. The item within the golden light also deformed and stretched, and in no time it turned into the shape of a book. The golden light then receded and fell directly down towards her.
Youyou quickly reached out and took it, her heart filled with joy. She had finally finished collecting them. Was this the Yin Book of the Heavenly Dao? She looked down at the title of the book, and the next moment her lips twitched.
I originally thought that such an amazing book would at least have a title like "The Book of the Underworld" or "The Book of Heavenly Dao," but instead, the cover boldly proclaimed in bright gold lettering: "No work today!"
Youyou: "..."
Uh... the taste of the underworld is really not surprising at all!
"Youyou!" Feng Rong and the others quickly walked over, looked at the book in her hand, and froze when they saw the title. "This... is it done already?"
"Mm." You nodded.
"Ayou..." Gong Xi called out as well, clearly unaware of what had just happened, but she didn't ask any questions, only looking worriedly at the sky full of vengeful spirits.
"I can only try my best to send them to the underworld," Youyou said uncertainly, "but I can't guarantee it will succeed." Although she already had the Book of the Underworld, she wasn't from the underworld, so it was uncertain whether she could even use it!
Gong Xi nodded, "Okay, please!"
She took a deep breath and looked down at the Yin Book in her hand. Although she had never used it before, she inexplicably knew how to use it. With a thought, the somewhat tattered book in her hand flew up and emitted the same golden light as before, enveloping all the vengeful spirits in the air.
Youyou subconsciously raised her hand and pointed at the booklet, then uttered a single word, "Clean!"
The next moment, some kind of energy suddenly swept across the entire booklet towards the vengeful spirits, like sweeping away dust. In an instant, the terrifyingly dense resentment was completely cleared away. All the souls were swept away cleanly, returning to their original forms, and even the horrific wounds on their bodies disappeared.
All the souls emitted a pure white light. Perhaps because they were too weak, they slowly curled up into a ball and became white soul spheres, floating in the air.
"It's a success!" Gong Xi looked at the now completely silent soul in the air in disbelief, and excitedly grabbed You You's hand, "Thank you, thank you... You!"
Just as Youyou was about to answer, a rumbling sound suddenly came from behind her.
What's wrong now?
The group was startled and turned to look. They saw that the bottom of the Demon Pool, which had previously appeared to be a bottomless abyss, suddenly began to twist and deform. The water that had fallen in began to rise slowly, and in no time, it formed the shape of a river. The previously gray and empty opposite side also slowly dispersed, revealing a dark and gloomy area.
Someone was walking across the water from the other side, dressed in a black robe, with a pale, ashen face, and a stiff, chilling smile.
"Oh my, congratulations, Your Majesty! You've finally collected all the Books of the Underworld! I knew Your Majesty would be fine!" The Underworld Envoy strode over, but only stayed in the newly formed river, not going ashore. He glanced at the large number of soul orbs in the air, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "I didn't expect you to collect so many remnant souls for me. Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty." After saying that, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and collected all the souls in the air, his smile as stiff as ever.
“A remnant soul…” Gong Xi was anxious and was about to rush over.
"He's a messenger of the underworld, specializing in guiding souls into the underworld," You You quickly pulled the person back, explaining, then looked at the person opposite and said, "Why are you here? Didn't we say we couldn't come to the demon realm?"
"Oh dear, I was just trying to welcome Your Majesty. Besides, this is the border of the Demon Realm, so I temporarily moved the border of the Underworld to the side!" he replied in a serious tone.
The four people: "..."
You're fucking kidding me!
So the border can be moved around like that? If I'd known, I would have died if you'd moved it here from the start!
