It turns out that the headless ghost was Gao Ying, who had his head chopped off during the chaos of the capital's upheaval, which fits the characteristics of a ghost who died unjustly.
Furthermore, since the entire Liu family had suffered misfortune, and no one was there to collect his body or handle his funeral arrangements, he was naturally sent to this city of the unjustly dead.
Seeing the headless body holding a head and crying with emotion, Zu'an quickly reached out and lifted the other person's head, which flew up and landed on his neck.
“It’s no use. No matter how I put it back on, it always falls off… Hmm?” Gao Ying had tried to put his head back on these past few days, but no matter how he tried, his head would fall off, as if there was something invisible on his neck preventing his head and body from reconnecting.
But he was only halfway through his sentence when his eyes widened in surprise. He discovered that his head had actually grown back. Although he had initially felt a familiar force of rejection in his neck, another, even stronger force suppressed that force and successfully put his head back in place.
Now that Zuan is the Netherworld Emperor, he naturally knows all the rules of the Netherworld. People like Gao Ying, who were beheaded in life, will never have their heads reattached according to the laws of the Netherworld. They will only be able to live as headless ghosts until they are reincarnated.
However, this isn't a particularly powerful rule, and it wouldn't be difficult for Zaun to change it given their current capabilities.
Zuan waved his hand, and a table and chairs appeared. He poured tea for him and asked him to sit down and rest.
Gao Ying was immediately flattered: "Grandfather brother... no, you are now the Netherworld Emperor, how could I dare..."
The events on the arena were broadcast live throughout the entire Netherworld, and he had been cheering for Zuan the whole time, so he was well aware of the other party's current identity.
Zu An laughed and scolded, "Brother Gao, we were good friends in the mortal world, why be so formal now?"
Gao Ying was also a carefree person. Thinking of their past friendship, he gradually smiled and said, "You can't blame me for this. Now that you have this status, we dead souls are naturally afraid of you."
“We’ll still get along as before. Do you really think I’ll change my attitude towards you just because I’ve become the Netherworld Emperor? What kind of person would I be then?” Zu’an comforted him.
“Indeed, my ancestor has always been a man of great righteousness. I was overthinking it.” Gao Ying gradually relaxed, picked up his wine cup and drank it down with the other man. “It has been a long time since I’ve tasted wine. To be able to meet you again is truly a great joy. It seems that God has been kind to me.”
Zu'an poured him another glass of wine before asking, "Brother Gao, what happened to you?"
