After Taibai Jinxing left, Lin Zhongtian turned around and looked at everyone, smiling and said, "Robbing the execution ground and causing chaos in the underworld are no small matters. I have to go back and deal with them first. If I have time in the future, I will come to visit you, little friend Yang."

Yang Jian nodded and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please go."

Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly, waved his sleeves, and his figure suddenly disappeared in the silver light.

The four people who remained in the hall looked at each other. After a long silence, Taiyi Zhenren finally spoke.

"Brother, what is going on?"

"When did you and the Emperor become so close?"

Hearing this, Nezha and Yang Jian also looked at Jade Ding Zhenren in confusion.

Especially Yang Jian, when Lin Zhongtian and Jade Ding Zhenren came together, he was really scared.

Jade Ding Zhenren sighed and said in a quiet tone: "Brother, do you still remember my origins?"

Taiyi Zhenren nodded and said, "You are the result of the innate true spirit entering the innate jade tripod and combining with it. No matter your birth or talent, you are the best choice after the beginning of chaos."

Jade Ding Zhenren asked again: "Brother, do you know where my innate true spirit comes from?"

Taiyi Zhenren frowned and said, "Master once said that outside of the chaos, there is a river of true spirits. All those who have innate true spirits are born from it."

Jade Ding Zhenren nodded and said, "That's right. However, ordinary innate true spirits have long been muddled after being washed by the True Spirit River, shedding all external objects including the soul, leaving only a little true spirit."

"But I am an exception because I have retained my soul and my memories."

"Memory?" Taiyi Zhenren was slightly stunned and couldn't help asking, "What do you mean?"

Jade Ding Zhenren sighed and said, "That's right, there is also a world outside of chaos. The memories in my true spirit come from another world. This world is not the myriad worlds that you and I know, but another big world that is parallel to the myriad worlds."

Hearing these words, the three people including Taiyi Zhenren were shocked.

Yang Jian came back to his senses, suppressed his shock, and said in deep thought: "The origin of Zhongtian Emperor is mysterious, and there are many different opinions in the three realms, and it is difficult to reach a conclusion. Could it be that he is not from this realm?"

"good!"

Jade Ding Zhenren looked at him with appreciation, then chuckled and explained, "The Emperor and my true spirit come from the same world. We were good friends in our previous lives. In the future, when you two brothers work together in heaven, you can get closer to the Emperor."

Yang Jian and Nezha looked at each other, nodded, and took note of it.

…

…

On the other side, in the underworld, in the Senluo Palace.

A handsome young man in black armor sat at the desk, flipping through the book of life and death in his hand with great interest.

Next to him, there was another tall, black-haired young man, looking at him helplessly.

"I'm telling you, that's enough. If you keep going on, maybe Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the Lord of Mount Tai will show up!"

"What are you afraid of!" Bai Lang said with a smile, "To be honest, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and I are old acquaintances. Back in the underworld, I helped her rebuild the City of the Dead!"

"As for the Lord of Mount Tai, we two are too insignificant. If the boss doesn't come, he will definitely not show up..."

Having said that, Bai Lang cast his gaze under the table.

I saw the ten Yama Kings gathered here, each standing in front of the hall, looking helpless, and not daring to move forward.

What Bai Lang and Ya Mu did not expect was that the famous Ten Kings of Hell, the nominal monarch of the underworld, was so weak. His cultivation had clearly reached the level of Daluo, but his actual combat power was not even able to defeat the two of them.

That’s right, Bai Lang didn’t get the Book of Life and Death just because of Lin Zhongtian’s reputation.

He used his fists to beat up King Qin Guang of the First Hall, and then he displayed his divine power to defeat the Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and the Black and White Impermanence. Only then did he finally get the Book of Life and Death, and extend the life of Li Er and Zhangsun by twenty years.

At this moment, Buddha's light burst out outside the Senluo Hall, and a Buddhist monk holding a jewel in his hand, holding a staff, wearing a red cassock, riding a Thousand-Leaf Green Lotus Platform came over and went straight to the front of the hall.

When the ten Yama Kings saw this, they were all overjoyed and came forward to pay their respects.

The venerable smiled slightly, greeted the ten Yama Kings, and then turned his gaze to Bai Lang.

"Donor Bai, long time no see..."

Bai Lang was shocked and quickly put down the Book of Life and Death, then walked down the stone steps with a smile.

"Hey, isn't this Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? Why are you here too?"

"What do you think?" Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva glanced at Bai Lang and said in a deep voice, "I used my pure eyes to observe the sentient beings in the underworld. I saw the ghosts of Beiyin Mountain wailing and the ghosts of Senluo Palace running around."

"I thought it was another Monkey King coming to cause trouble in the underworld, but I never thought it was Donor Bai who came to visit..."

Hearing the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha's tactful words, Bai Lang smiled awkwardly.

He was about to argue when he suddenly heard a voice coming from outside the hall.

"Let the Buddha see the joke."

Hearing these words, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the Ten Kings of Hell were all stunned.

The latter turned around quickly, only to see a man in green clothes walking towards him. In the blink of an eye, he landed in front of the hall, staring at the two people at the table and said:

"You two, come here quickly!"

Bai Lang and Yamu looked at each other, then immediately shut their mouths, walked down the stairs obediently, and stood beside the man.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva chanted the Buddha's name and chuckled, "Emperor, long time no see!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Ten Kings of Hell knew that it was Lin Zhongtian himself who had arrived.

They hurriedly bowed their backs and saluted Lin Zhongtian respectfully.

Lin Zhongtian looked at the slightly different Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in front of him and chuckled, "Yes, it's been a long time since we last met. I wonder if the Bodhisattva has fulfilled his great wish over the years?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sighed and said, "Never."

"The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades, we still need to work hard!"

Lin Zhongtian encouraged them and after the greetings, he turned to look at the Ten Kings of Hell and said with a smile: "My subordinates have disturbed the order of the Netherworld without reason. It is my fault for not disciplining them properly. I hope you will forgive me..."

The Ten Yama Kings said they dared not to, and said quickly: "Your Majesty is too polite."

Lin Zhongtian said, "I heard that before the Jinghe Dragon King was born, it was already noted in the Southern Dipper's Death Book that he would be killed by a human official in this life. Is this true?"

The ten Yama Kings looked at each other, and the King Qin Guang of the First Hall stepped forward, clasped his hands and said, "Reporting to the Emperor, this is indeed true."

Lin Zhongtian nodded and said, "In that case, let me see the Southern Dipper Death Book."

The Ten Kings of Hell looked at each other and said hesitantly: "This..."

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "To be honest with you, the Heavenly Court has already handed over the Jinghe Dragon King to the Ziwei Palace. How to deal with it is Ziwei's own business. I hope you can help me. I will have people from the Ziwei Palace go to the Heavenly Court and the Lord of Mount Tai to discuss it."

The Ten Kings of Hell were startled when they heard this, knowing that Lin Zhongtian had already taken over the Ziwei Palace.

They nodded in agreement quickly, and King Qin Guang took out the Southern Dipper's Death Book and handed it to Lin Zhongtian.

Lin Zhongtian looked through the book of the dead, deleted the cause of death of the Jinghe Dragon King, and then returned it.

The Ten Kings of Hell watched the whole process, but they stood there with their hands up, not daring to get angry or speak.

After doing all this, Lin Zhongtian waved his hand to wrap Bai Lang and Ya Mu in silver light, then said with a smile: "I owe the underworld a favor for this matter. If the underworld is in trouble in the future, you can go to Ziwei Palace to find me."

The Ten Kings of Hell were startled for a moment, then they were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Lin Zhongtian.

Having worked in the underworld for so long, they have seen many gods and immortals who like to take advantage of their reputation to get things for free, but this is the first time they have met such a powerful person who is so easy to talk to.

Lin Zhongtian nodded slightly, then looked up at the dark cloud-covered area behind the Senluo Palace, and said softly, "I'm sorry for the offense. Goodbye."

After saying that, Lin Zhongtian waved his sleeves, carrying Bai Lang and Ya Mu and flew out of the Senluo Palace and headed straight for the entrance of the underworld.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva chanted the Buddha's name, and together with the Ten Kings of Hell, respectfully saw Lin Zhongtian off.

At the same time, a sigh came from the black clouds outside the Senluo Palace, and then gradually dissipated.

On the way, Bai Lang was so curious that he couldn't help asking, "Boss, who were you talking to just now?"

Lin Zhongtian glanced at him and said in a voice transmission: "Emperor Fengdu."

Bai Lang was slightly stunned, and then he was horrified: "He has been here all along?"

Lin Zhongtian nodded and said, "Yes, it's in the black cloud outside the Senluo Palace."

After saying that, Lin Zhongtian glanced at Bai Lang and said, "And there's not only him in that black cloud, there are also the Five Ghost Emperors and various ghosts and gods. This is the real armed force of the underworld that can compete with the Heavenly Court. If it weren't for my big face, you two would have been captured by the Emperor of Fengdu long ago!"

Hearing Lin Zhongtian's unpleasant words, Bai Lang couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

Yamu asked curiously, "What about the Lord of Mount Tai?"

Lin Zhongtian shook his head: "I haven't seen it, it should not be in the underworld."

This is the orthodox Chinese mythology universe, a mixture of many Chinese myths and legends.

As the oldest belief in the underworld in China, the identity, status and strength of the Lord of Mount Tai are naturally extraordinary.

In this world, he is the true controller of the underworld, above the Ten Kings of Hell, the Five Ghost Emperors, and the King of Fengdu.

To make an analogy, he is probably a truly great person with supernatural powers, equal to the Three Pure Ones, the Jade Emperor, and Tathagata.

Bai Lang thankfully said, "Fortunately, our status is not high enough to warrant the intervention of the Lord of Mount Tai."

Lin Zhongtian glanced at him and said, "You're a small-time celebrity, right? But you've made a big enough fuss!"

Bai Lang chuckled, not feeling ashamed but proud.

"If you don't make a big fuss, how can you highlight your worth, Boss?"

"But then again, the Ten Kings of Hell are too weak. King Qin Guang was full of energy before he attacked, but after the fight started, I knocked him down before I even had to use much strength."

"And it's not just him. The other Yama Kings and a bunch of ghost soldiers and ghost generals are also incredibly weak. It's really bizarre!"

"What's so strange about that?" Lin Zhongtian glanced at him and said, "King Qin Guang is the ghost king of the underworld, with the body of a ghost fairy. His combat power is the weakest among all kinds of fairies. In addition, your body of Godzilla is a natural nemesis of the underworld and ghosts. It's easy to defeat him."

"As for the fact that the underworld is weak, that's because all the strong ones are under the command of Emperor Fengdu."

"Five hundred years ago, Sun Wukong caused a great disturbance in the underworld. His spirit illuminated the Naihe Bridge and saved countless ghosts and generals. The underworld even had to draw manpower from the lower worlds. Have you forgotten all this?"
