“I know that what I’m doing is selfish, but I also want to see what would happen if the Underworld had a different King. Just in case, I’m leaving the Mirror of Reincarnation with Crescent Moon as a backup plan. If things get chaotic one day, Meng Po will help her.”
She thought that if the Ghost King was truly competent, her imprisonment was nothing; a few hundred years would be nothing more than a blink of an eye.
When the Ghost King ascends to the throne, she will follow the example of the previous King of the Underworld and enter the cycle of reincarnation to experience life in the human world.
“I once observed from the Bridge of Helplessness, listening to the ghosts coming and going recount their past lives. Some were disgusted with the mortal world and were determined to die, unwilling to be human again. Others couldn't let go of the myriad things of the mortal world and cried out, begging to be allowed to return to their original world…”
"Pluto feels no pain, cannot die, cannot experience the cycle of life and death, nor joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness, and cannot even shed a tear."
The girl strolled through the air, reaching out to catch a firefly that drifted down from a tree. "Whether it's what they hate or what they cherish, it's all things I've never experienced, things I yearn for, things I want to have..."
But she is Hades.
Those ghost messengers and impermanent spirits can go to the mortal world to guide ghosts.
As the Queen of the Underworld, she can never step out of the Underworld.
Otherwise, the underworld will be thrown into chaos.
She could only stay in that dark, icy place.
There wasn't even a sound around.
"Over the years, Meng Po has not come to wake me up, so the underworld should be very peaceful under the leadership of the Ghost King."
She never expected that what would awaken her in the end was the crescent moon's obsession.
Crescent Moon looked at her, biting her lip tightly, "Lord Hades, I'm sorry..."
“You did nothing wrong.” The girl landed on the ground in front of her and said with a smile, “It was I who shouldn’t have kept it from you and left you all alone.”
"Lord Hades..."
"It's alright now."
The girl sighed, her cool and deep gaze falling on Su Deng and Yan Sizhan, "Thank you for helping Yueya."
Su Deng paused slightly, then shook her head.
"Xi Chan!" the Ghost King suddenly shouted, his voice sharp, "Our deal still has three hundred years to go!"
His shout caused Yao Zhi and the others to change their expressions slightly.
Having remained uninvolved until now, Meng Po, seemingly an outsider, directly struck him with a palm strike, saying, "How dare you address the King of the Underworld by his name!"
The girl sighed again, "It's been so long since I've heard anyone call my name."
But that's not her name either.
That was the name given to her by the previous King of the Underworld.
"King of the Underworld." Wan Ke knelt on one knee, head bowed, not daring to look directly at him, and said respectfully, "Under the leadership of the Ghost King, the Underworld is not in great chaos, but the new Underworld is rife with disorder. We beg your return."
Yao Zhi also said, "The ecological development of the new underworld is accelerating rapidly. The Ghost King has limited the number of reincarnation slots in the Reincarnation Department. If this continues, the underworld will become overcrowded with ghosts and problems will arise."
"Lord Hades..." Crescent Moon choked out, "Please don't leave me again, I'm so scared without you..."
The girl never expected that what would awaken her was not the chaos in the underworld.
It is the obsession with the crescent moon.
"Now that I'm awake, I won't remain submerged any longer."
The girl smiled and looked at everyone. "I made the deal willingly, but the Ghost King ultimately tricked me, intending to kill the King of the Underworld..."
Her aura turned cold, intimidating all around her, "Charge into Iron Enclosure Mountain!"
The underworld is divided into eighteen hells, each of which punishes various evil spirits.
Iron Enclosure Mountain is a dungeon in the underworld, surrounded by a barrier. Since its existence, no one who has entered, whether demon, human, or ghost, has ever come out.
That was a place where you could enter but never leave.
"Xi Chan, how dare you! It was you who..."
"Still screaming!"
Before the Ghost King could finish his roar, he was struck by another blow.
Ji Sheng said, "Lin Ye, take him to Iron Enclosure Mountain."
"Yes." Lin Ye accepted the order and led his men to escort the Ghost King away.
For the past few hundred years, the Ghost King has not disturbed the Underworld, but has instead oppressed it, causing many minor disturbances and even attempting to kill the Underworld King.
There are no major sins, but minor sins are everywhere. When they accumulate, they will lead to major sins.
Over the years, many officials in the underworld have not submitted to him, but they have been powerless to do anything about it.
However, some of them served the Ghost King and betrayed the King of the Underworld.
They were attempting to create chaos.
They haven't made a move yet because they haven't found the Mirror of Reincarnation.
Hades returned and first purged the underworld, causing it to tremble.
Even the evil spirits that had previously tried to escape and cause chaos dared not make any more moves, and without needing to be captured, they ran back to the prison on their own.
Inside the Palace of Hades.
Looking at Crescent Moon, who had been following her every step since they came out, Xi Chan felt somewhat helpless and said to Su Deng and the others, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh."
Qin Xian's lips twitched slightly; he couldn't bear to look.
"It's nothing." Su Deng shook her head, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said thoughtfully, "After all, we helped Yueya save you, shouldn't you repay us?"
"Su Deng!" Crescent Moon's expression changed drastically, and she gestured to her with her eyes.
No one in this world has ever dared to ask Hades for a reward.
"It's alright." When Xi Chan smiled with her eyes narrowed, she looked like an innocent child, showing no signs of having lived for thousands of years. She seemed very easy to talk to. "What do you want?"
After Hades appeared, the crimes of the wanted criminals were cleared.
In this situation, it's not advisable to kill more ghost messengers to fill the gaps.
Then continue your job search.
But what kind of position can get you to max out your points immediately?
Su Deng tilted her head and thought for a moment, then her gaze fell on Yueya, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. "How about I become your secretary, King of the Underworld?"
"Su Deng!" Crescent Moon jumped up, somewhat agitated. "Have you forgotten that I saved you before? Can't you ask for anything else? You...you...you actually stole my job!!!"
Su Deng raised an eyebrow, "But I think being Hades' secretary is really awesome."
