That's why Gu Qi turned to Wang Yao for help. Otherwise, why would he care about the safety of important departments or the Ghost King's concentration area? In Gu Qi's heart, the entire Zero Floor was probably not as important as the Ghost King.
He must be desperate. Otherwise, why would he so easily agree to stop selling human-machine devices on floor zero? Even the King of Hell is in danger. You, Gu Qi, a mere floor owner, and this happened on your floor, do you think you can escape?
"That son of a bitch is about to die, and he's still trying to take advantage of me," Wang Yao couldn't help but chuckle.
"I'm sorry, but I always put personal matters first. If I'm unhappy, I wish the entire Six Realms would be unhappy with me. Considering the big picture is something for you esteemed leaders to think about. Don't expect a mere immortal like me to have the same level of understanding as you."
"Anything else? If not, I'm hanging up. My monk friend is starving, we need to get him back to the human realm quickly, after all, the human realm is where we belong," Wang Yao said with a smile.
"Lord Matchmaker, don't worry, I'll arrange your monk friend's food!" Gu Qi hurriedly called out, afraid that Wang Yao would hang up the phone.
"You want the Underworld to stop selling human artifacts? It's not that I'm intentionally making things difficult for you, it's just that my authority is limited. Even if I submit a report to the higher-ups to apply, I can't say that just because it's what the Old Man of the Moon requests, the Underworld has to obey, can it?"
"Even if what you say makes sense, the underworld is currently facing the threat of corpse energy. How can the leader have the mind to deal with this matter of not selling human artifacts? Even if I were to ask the leader to come and talk to you, he would have to find the time!"
"But if you shut off the valve for the upward flow of Yin energy and relieve the leaders upstairs of their worries, then things will be different. The leaders will be able to put their minds at ease and organize all their forces to resist this great calamity of corpse energy."
"I've seen my share of storms in the underworld. Upstairs are the Ten Kings of Hell and hundreds of Ghost Kings. Under their wise leadership, mere corpse energy is no threat at all. This calamity will surely be resolved easily."
"By then, you'll be a great hero of the Underworld. What conditions won't you be able to discuss with the leaders upstairs? You should know that what's a huge deal for us is just a matter of a word for the leaders upstairs."
"Lord Yue Lao, you have been arguing with me here to persuade the Underworld to stop selling human-machines. In fact, I have long seen that you are a good immortal with a strong sense of justice and responsibility, who takes the safety and honor of the Six Realms as his own responsibility!"
"Do you know how much merit you accumulate by turning off the valve? These ghosts can be reincarnated and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation. You're not just saving ghosts, but also the lives of humans, demons, and even immortals!"
"This is an opportunity that many celestial beings in the heavens would rather die than have. If you just go over there and gently turn that valve, you will become the savior of the six realms and the blessing of all living beings!"
"When the time comes to reward you for your merits, the Heavenly Court will surely bestow upon you a great deal of merit, far surpassing the hundreds or thousands of years of effort you have put into arranging your marriage!"
"Tell me, what is there for an immortal to pursue besides merit? But that merit is of no use to my underworld. Such a beneficial and effortless thing, do you really think my underworld won't put in a good word for you in the heavenly court?"
"The things you need to do are even less important. Think about it, am I right or not?"
"Lord Yue Lao, all the hopes of the people are now placed on you. Vast amounts of merit are within your grasp, and fame and fortune are just around the corner. Think about it. Even if you were an immortal for thousands or tens of thousands of years, what other opportunities or achievements could compare to this?"
"I know that your place must be filled with the aura of death right now, but it is precisely in this harsh environment that your responsibility and dedication as a celestial being of the Heavenly Court are highlighted. Lord Yue Lao, I believe you will not disappoint the billions of living beings in the Six Realms, don't you think?"
Gu Qi talked on and on, seemingly with great sincerity, while Wang Yao listened silently, growing increasingly impatient.
To be honest, Wang Yao didn't want to stand idly by about what was happening in the underworld. After all, whether it was a large number of deaths among the ghosts or the dissipation of corpse energy into the human world, it would have a serious impact on the human world.
Moreover, by cooperating with Gu Qi, the local bigwig and the landlord, solving this corpse energy problem will be much more efficient and require far less effort.
Otherwise, if he hung up the phone, Wang Yao really wouldn't know where to start, which is why he kept holding the phone and didn't hang up. But this old guy used both soft and hard tactics, coercing and enticing Wang Yao to shut off the valve for the upward flow of Yin energy to protect those important figures in the underworld.
When it came to Wang Yao's demands, and most importantly, how to ensure the safety of ordinary underworld ghosts and how to prevent the corpse energy from affecting the human world, the responses were rambling and unrelated.
Wang Yao had hinted at it several times, but it was unclear whether he hadn't heard it or was just pretending not to, and was simply acting confused.
"When did I ever say I was a good immortal?" Wang Yao asked coldly.
"I wasn't a good person when I was a human, let alone an immortal. Besides, you're not the Heavenly Emperor. You think you can just give me merit and expect the Heavenly Emperor to listen to you? I'm not a three-year-old child who's easy to fool. Sorry, I can't interfere with the affairs of your underworld!"
As he was speaking, Wang Yao slammed the phone down. He knew that continuing to talk to this cunning old bastard would be a waste of time.
"Immortal, please...please...we...we don't want to die..." But unexpectedly, Qin Su saw him hang up the phone, and the figure shrouded in black smoke knelt down in front of Wang Yao.
