At this moment, the Emperor of Fengdu gave a gentle push, and the book flew to Zu An's front. Countless clouds and mist swirled on the open pages, and various scenes flickered inside. Zu An could see every corner of the Netherworld, and even every soul of the dead.
"This is the 'Great Codex of Life and Death in the Netherworld.' Whoever holds this item is the ruler of the Netherworld. From now on, your words will be the will of the Netherworld."
Zuan was taken aback: "I can't accept something so valuable. Besides, what will you do if you give it to me?"
The Emperor of Fengdu sighed, “Old friend, can’t you see that I have already perished? Now I am just a wisp of remnant. Entrusting this to you will put my mind at ease.”
Zu'an was truly shocked: "You are the ruler of the Netherworld, yet you too can perish?"

The two clinked their wine glasses together, and the Emperor of Fengdu suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I used this technique to conceal the secrets of heaven. Although I have already given you the 'Great Canon of Life and Death in the Netherworld,' there are still a few old friends waiting for you outside later. You must defeat them to go through the motions. I think this shouldn't be too difficult for you."
