After Yama finished speaking, he hung up the phone, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Wang Yao.
"If you want access to the underworld, I can grant it..." King Yama had only uttered half a sentence when all the Kings of Hell in the room immediately started making a fuss.
"I won't agree! No way! If we hand over the underworld access, my underworld won't be a separate realm anymore. Let's just make it a bureau under the Heavenly Court, and we, the King of Hell, can become bureau chiefs in the Heavenly Court together."
"Old Yan, this kind of thing must be reviewed by the King of Hell's office meeting. Although you are temporarily acting as King Pingdeng's work, you only have two votes and have no right to make such a promise to outsiders!"
"You fat bastard, do you know what you're doing? Does the seller even know?"
...
King Yama raised a hand, silencing the noisy Yama kings.
“What King Biancheng said earlier is correct. This underworld is our home. For the safety of our home, selling some of our possessions is unavoidable. Gu Qi just called. The Fifth District of the West has been lost, and the corpse puppets are attacking the Fourth and Sixth Districts of the West. The ghosts have suffered heavy casualties…”
"What does it matter? The ghosts downstairs are all dead, so we'll move to the upstairs. If we lose floor zero, we'll go up to the first floor. If we lose the first floor, we'll go up to the second floor..." a Yama King shouted.
"What if we lose them all? Which realm do we retreat to?" King Yama roared. "The enemy's attack method is very clear now: corpse puppets are the main force, with spirit bodies as support. They conquer one area, and only when the concentration of corpse energy rises to a certain level do they continue to attack the next area."
"Now that the eighteenth floor has been lost, we've given up on the seventeenth floor. What if they attack every floor at the same time? We were hoping for reinforcements from the Heavenly Court, but now, because of the appearance of spirits, Li Jing has notified the reinforcements to postpone their arrival."
"We can only set off when the number of immortals capable of dealing with spirit bodies reaches a certain proportion of the rescue team. But as everyone knows, most of those immortals in the immortal realm who can deal with spirit bodies are wandering immortals or living immortals. The one that Old Qin found, Bu Ke Jie, actually wants an entire layer of my underworld as his afterlife territory."
"He doesn't want to be the Ghost King; he wants to be the Supreme Emperor of the Underworld. Aside from granting access to the Underworld, the Old Man of the Moon's other requests don't harm the very foundation of the Underworld. Why can't we consider them? Waiting for Heaven's rescue—do you all think we can wait that long?"
"Moreover, we here oppose handing over the underworld to the Heavenly Court. Once this news reaches the higher-ups, do you know if the Heavenly Court's reinforcements will still come? Our homes will be destroyed, and what awaits us is either living under someone else's roof or being reduced to ashes. We must be wary of this. If we hadn't seen this, why would we have made such a request?"
Yama, the King of Hell, roared loudly, like striking a bell, and the noise in the room gradually subsided.
"But..." Yama was still not entirely satisfied.
“There’s nothing to say or not say, but I have a condition for handing over the Underworld Pass.” Yama said, looking at Wang Yao. “The Underworld Pass can only be kept in the hands of the Old Man of the Moon. Once my Underworld needs to use it, unless it involves the Old Man of the Moon’s authority, the Old Man of the Moon cannot refuse.”
"This is the last line of the underworld. If the Old Man of the Moon doesn't agree, then please leave. Rather than becoming slaves in the future, we might as well die here today and at least have a glorious end," King Yama said resolutely.
Wang Yao was stunned by what Yama said and couldn't help but turn to look at Cao Xian. Yama's meaning was very clear. In fact, what they were fighting for was still the autonomy of the underworld. Judging from what Yama said, "It is imperative to be cautious" was making arrangements for his afterlife.
However, in the eyes of the Kings of Hell, that arrangement clearly threatened their authority in the underworld. As for the Underworld Pass, if it were handed over to the Heavenly Court, in the eyes of the Kings of Hell, it would be nothing more than replacing the Must-Have with the Heavenly Emperor, which would also be unacceptable.
However, following Yama's advice, a different approach was taken. Since you, Wang Yao, were worried that the Underworld would close your Underworld interface again, you were given the Underworld Password yourself. Of course, you didn't need to worry at all. But that was all. The Underworld still held the power to refuse interference from the other five realms, including the Heavenly Court.
Wang Yao himself had little interest in power. Being able to ensure that his underworld interface would not be shut down was an unexpected gain. In addition, he really could not let the underworld calamity continue, so he had already accepted Yama's suggestion.
He had no idea what Cao Xian was thinking, so he could only turn to see what Cao Xian meant.
Cao Xian stood there blinking a few times, thinking to himself that these Yama Kings were indeed cunning. In this way, he could focus on working on Wang Yao, the only immortal, and use some concessions to Wang Yao to reverse the situation of the entire calamity. This deal was too good to be true.
If we can keep this young Wang Yao in check, it won't be difficult to get back to the Underworld. Besides, it's easy to guess what Wang Yao thinks of this suggestion. If I try to stir things up again, I'm afraid I'll only upset him.
"That's wonderful, young king! From now on, the lives of us old men will all be in your hands. You'd better have pity on us old folks!" King Qin Guang reacted the fastest and immediately agreed with King Yama's suggestion.
“Old Qin, you…” King Wuguan stared at King Qin Guang.
"What do you mean, 'me'? Look at this Old Man of the Moon, with his full forehead and square jaw, he looks like the perfect candidate to keep the Underworld's Passage for my Underworld. Who would have thought that the Underworld's Passage is actually kept by an immortal? If the Six Realms knew this, they would all say that my Underworld is closely aligned with the Heavenly Court."
"Fifth brother, hurry up and take out the Underworld Scroll," King Qin Guang replied nonchalantly.
“That makes sense, Xiao Wang. From now on, our underworld will depend on you!” The scholar-looking Yama King nodded repeatedly.
One by one, the other Yama Kings realized the key point of Yama King's suggestion, and more and more agreed, making the Five Senses King's expression increasingly grim.
