Bai Qingqing stood before the stone gate, as steady as a rock.
As the stone gate slowly opened, all the black mist in the Black Mist Forest was sucked away by the gate.
Along with those strange sounds.
Once the black fog completely dissipated, the entire forest returned to its lush and verdant state.
He was completely out of place in the entire Youhuang City.
Bai Qingqing looked at the open stone door and asked, "The gate to the underworld has opened, what's next?"
"Don't rush, wait a moment." Xiao Hao's voice was very calm.
It was as if they had been used to it for a long time.
Bai Qingqing became increasingly curious about the system that was bound to her.
When I was reading novels on Earth, I found that all those systems were incredibly powerful.
When it was my turn, it was exactly the same.
Only a life that transcends time can be truly fulfilling.
However, she didn't ask again, because Xiao Hao had rejected her previous inquiries with "no permission available".
Whether it's a genuine lack of permission or some other hidden reason,
Things will work themselves out when they reach the bridge.
Bai Qingqing followed Xiao Hao's instructions and stood in front of the stone gate to wait.
We waited for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Suddenly, light footsteps echoed from inside the stone gate.
Although it was very orderly, you could tell it wasn't just one person, but many people.
At least a hundred.
Bai Qingqing frowned.
This is the gate to the underworld. Are all those who come out of the underworld evil spirits?
Fortunately, I haven't used the system's three powers today.
If any evil spirits dare to provoke us, then slaughter them without leaving a single one alive.
Bai Qingqing stared intently at the stone gate exit, and soon many people came out.
Everyone's outfit is a little different.
The costumes and makeup all look very familiar.
Bai Qingqing frowned and thought for a moment. It seemed that the public officials in the underworld in the Blue Star TV series wore clothes like this.
Those two Black and White Impermanence figures sticking out their tongues, and over there, Ox-Head and Horse-Face...
"Your humble servants greet Your Excellency." Before Bai Qingqing could finish her thought, more than a hundred people knelt down in front of her and said in unison.
The sound echoed throughout the entire Youhuang City.
It carried an immense, oppressive aura.
"The host has opened the gates of the underworld, making her the Lord of the Underworld. It's normal for them to kneel and worship," Xiao Hao said in Bai Qingqing's mind.
"The Lord of the Underworld? The Emperor of Fengdu?" Bai Qingqing asked in return.
Before Xiao Hao could answer, a middle-aged man stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "This humble god, leading one hundred and thirty-two members of the Underworld, greets Your Excellency."
"You are..." Bai Qingqing looked up and asked.
"This humble god is jokingly called the Great Emperor of Fengdu, who rules over the entire underworld," said the Great Emperor of Fengdu.
Bai Qingqing felt a little numb.
All right.
She originally thought that by opening the gates of the underworld, she would become the Emperor of Fengdu.
She doesn't want to be that person.
"Now that the Underworld has reopened, you will each perform your duties." Bai Qingqing maintained her superior demeanor perfectly: "All affairs of the Underworld will still be managed by the Great Emperor of Fengdu."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Emperor of Fengdu nodded.
"Where were you before the underworld reopened?" Bai Qingqing asked, a little curious.
"Your Majesty, we were all caught in a temporal turbulence along with the main hall." The Emperor of Fengdu bowed and said, "Fortunately, Your Majesty summoned us back, so the Underworld can return to its rightful place."
“Then let’s put them back in their original positions.” Bai Qingqing nodded.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Today, the Underworld returns to its rightful place, and this is to be known throughout the land," the Emperor of Fengdu proclaimed.
This time, not only in Youhuang City, but in every corner of the five continents, the words of the Fengdu Emperor were clearly heard.
Mountains, rivers, lakes, and even the sun, moon, and stars all responded positively.
For a time, strange phenomena appeared on all five continents.
The next second, Bai Qingqing closed her eyes and slowly floated into the air. Countless points of light rushed in from afar and entered Bai Qingqing's brow.
A moment later, a dark light bloomed from Bai Qingqing's chest.
Then it transformed into millions of drops, enveloping the entire Youhuang City.
The people of Youhuang City were fortunate enough to witness the gradual reconstruction of the Underworld.
The Terrace of Longing for Home, the Bridge of Helplessness, the Flower of the Other Shore, the River of Oblivion, the Stone of Three Lives, the Hall of Yama, and so on.
The last thing built was the eighteen levels of hell.
The sight of each level of torture sent chills down the spines of everyone in Youhuang City.
For the first time in my life, I regretted not being a better person.
Soon, the entire underworld was rebuilt, based on Youhuang City.
Bai Qingqing landed on the ground and opened her eyes.
As she lowered her eyes, Xiao Hao quickly gave a half-truth, half-lies explanation for the matter.
A mixture of genuine and fake information makes it easy to fool people.
Bai Qingqing didn't press the matter this time, but simply nodded slightly.
This made Xiao Hao's heart pound.
Judging from the way the owner is acting, it seems like he has regained some of his memories.
No, really?
Thinking of this, Xiao Hao's heart jumped into his throat, and he tentatively asked, "Host, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing," Bai Qingqing replied calmly.
“You always asked me this every time the world was restored and you advanced,” Xiao Hao said softly.
"Will you tell me?" Bai Qingqing asked in return.
"No." Xiao Hao shook his head.
"Then why would I bother asking you? Things will work themselves out. I'll know when the time is right," Bai Qingqing said.
After hearing these words, Xiao Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“The host is right.”
It turns out that he had figured things out, not that he had regained his memories.
That was close!
However, it's likely that the owner will soon regain their memories.
I need to quickly come up with a way to shift the blame.
"My lord, would you like to take a tour of the underworld?" the Emperor of Fengdu asked cautiously.
"Can I bring people?" Bai Qingqing asked.
"Of course," the Emperor of Fengdu nodded repeatedly.
"Then let's take a look around." Bai Qingqing nodded in satisfaction: "You're all fine as long as you stay. Everyone else, just do your jobs."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Emperor of Fengdu waved his hand, and the others shouted, "Your Majesty, we, your humble servants, take our leave."
"If Youhuang City has become the underworld, what will happen to the people who were originally in Youhuang City?" Bai Qingqing asked.
"We should have checked the Book of Life and Death." The Emperor of Fengdu pursed his lips and said somewhat uneasily, "But Judge Cui was not caught in the time turbulence with us, and we don't know where he is now."
“I just met Cui Yu’s descendants. The Book of Life and Death was in their hands and was incomplete, but I have completed it,” Bai Qingqing said.
"Fortunately, we have you here, sir." The Emperor of Fengdu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"According to the times recorded in the Book of Life and Death, many people in Youhuang City should have reached their appointed time. Those who have reached their time will be judged according to the rules of the underworld, and those who haven't will be exiled to the wilderness," said the Emperor of Fengdu. "As for those few good people among them, I think we should send them away from here so they can continue their lives."
"Wild and uncivilized?" Bai Qingqing asked.
"It can be considered part of the Underworld, but it is located in the Western Continent, one of the five continents of the human world. The environment there is similar to that of Youhuang City, but because it is located in the Ten Directions Forbidden Land, no one knows about it," said the Emperor of Fengdu.
