Chapter 275: Concerns of the Ghost Cultivators

In the world of the netherworld, the chilly wind howls fiercely while the earth trembles silently.

This time Lu Heng's conferrment is not an ordinary ghost position, but that of the Lord of the Chakravartin Palace.

Its power lies in discerning and managing the reincarnation of spirits. All of the deceased must be recognized and judged by Chakravartin before determining where they will be reincarnated.

In the present netherworld, this is the ghost king most needed.

Lu Heng cannot always stay in the netherworld and personally escort the departed souls to reincarnation one by one. Thus, he must delegate this responsibility and entrust the power to You Yue.

With the ghost position of Chakravartin entrusted to You Yue, she will be able to confer other ghost cultivators with positions to command the ghosts. They will work together to establish the Chakravartin Palace, one of the ten palaces of the Yanluo Realm.

Then, with the combined efforts of the ghost cultivators from the Chakravartin Palace, they will build the rough framework of the netherworld, incorporating and nurturing the souls of the deceased with great virtues and transforming them into ghost cultivators.

Once the number of ghost cultivators in the netherworld has grown significantly, Lu Heng will figure out a way to establish a system of city god temples in the human realm that can communicate with the netherworld.

At that time, the city gods in various places will patrol the mortal world, guide the dead, while the netherworld will oversee the overall situation, accept and judge the ghosts brought by the city gods from all over, and make decisions on rewards and punishments based on their deeds during their lifetime, thus determining their reincarnation.

In this way, a relatively complete framework for the netherworld can be barely built.

However, the number of ghost cultivators in the netherworld is not yet sufficient for the establishment of the city god temple system.

Although the conflict between wizards in the Fire Pass Country is fierce with hundreds of them dying tragically within five years. However, now that both Lu Heng and Jiu Mie have entered the world, they are only waiting for the right opportunity to eliminate these evil demons.

There will be no more wizards dying tragically.

Therefore, the number of ghost cultivators in the netherworld will not be significantly increased in the short term. Lu Heng still has enough time to prepare.

Now that the appointing order has ended, Lu Heng withdrew the Requiem Seal and congratulated Chakravartin You Yue, who is now wearing a divine robe, with a smile and a bow of courtesy.

"Congratulations to You Yue, my friend. In the future, the establishment of the Chakravartin Palace will require your efforts."

In response, You Yue quickly returned the gesture and respectfully said, "I will obey the decree of the Wolf God and do my best to build the Chakravartin Palace to maintain the balance of the netherworld reincarnation."

With a smile and a nod, Lu Heng said, "In that case, I will trouble you, Chakravartin... Well, this time I came to the netherworld not only to appoint ghost officials, but also because I need everyone's help with another matter."

As he spoke, the power of the Requiem Seal was activated. Lu Heng, along with Gu Zhou, You Yue, and several of the most advanced ghost cultivators, left the barren plain and arrived on the broad road where the yellow springs flowed.

On this Yellow Springs Road, which seems to have no way in or out, there are now hundreds of motionless figures scattered about.

Drenched in the waters of the yellow springs, the souls of these dead gradually solidify and gradually transform into the bodies of ghosts.

Lu Heng, along with the ghost cultivators, stood in the yellow springs and looked at the vague ghosts in front of them, saying,

"These ghosts are all virtuous and kind people from the Fire Pass Country, as well as wizards who died in the War of Wizards and Evil Spirits. They are not evil beings."

"Now I have brought them to the netherworld and need you to receive them."

Lu Heng looked at Chakravartin You Yue and said, "After the ghosts wake up, you can inform them of the situation in the netherworld and let them make their own choices."

"Those who are willing to be reincarnated can be sent to the reincarnation tunnel by the power of Chakravartin."

"Those who are willing to stay and become Yin gods to help establish the netherworld can be taught the ways of the ghost cultivators and enter the Chakravartin Palace first."

As he spoke, Lu Heng took out a jade scroll and handed it to You Yue.

"This jade scroll is written by the Water God of Pang River and Madam Gu Zhou. It records in detail the past deeds of all the ghosts present. If there are any who wish to be reincarnated, they can be judged based on their past merits and good deeds."

After receiving the jade scroll, You Yue bowed to Gu Zhou the River God who was beside her, expressing her gratitude.

Afterwards, Lu Heng didn't stay long. He briefly discussed the framework of the netherworld with You Yue and several other ghost cultivators before taking Gu Zhou and leaving.

As Lu Heng and Gu Zhou left, on the road of the yellow springs where the yin wind blew, there were only a few ghost cultivators remaining, including You Yue, aside from the many ghosts who remained still and vacant.

After respectfully seeing off Lu Heng, several ghost cultivators raised their heads and looked at the many vacant ghost shadows on the road of the yellow springs, all sighing deeply.

"The Wolf God really doesn't want to become the Lord of the Nether after all..."

In their eyes, the Wolf God is actually the most suitable deity to lead the Nether.

If the Wolf God is willing to become the Lord of the Nether, the Netherworld will surely be able to establish itself more quickly.

You Yue shook her head and said, "A mere Netherworld can't accommodate the Wolf God. Although the Netherworld is important, with the Wolf God's level, there must be more important things for him to do."

"Moreover, the Netherworld was ultimately established by the Wolf God. Even if the Wolf God really seeks out another Lord of the Nether in the future, would that new Lord of the Nether dare to ignore the Wolf God?"

"So for the Wolf God, it doesn't matter whether he becomes the Lord of the Nether or not. The future Lord of the Nether will only be taking over the Wolf God's rounds in the Netherworld."

"Instead of getting hung up on whether the Wolf God becomes the Lord of the Nether or not, it's better for everyone to focus on cultivating oneself, being faithful to one's duties, and establishing the Chakravartin Palace in the Netherworld."

You Yue looked at the ghost cultivators present and said, "According to the Wolf God's plan, the Netherworld will be conferring the ten Yama Kings."

"And conferring these ten Yama Kings positions is a recognition of the contributions made by us ghost cultivators. Although you are currently working under me, if we work together to build a better Netherworld, in the future, there will be opportunities for you to become a Lord of one of the ten courts."

You Yue's words made several ghost cultivators smile, and they replied, "Chakravartin's warning has enlightened us all. However, compared to the divine position of being a Lord of one of the ten courts, it's not that important for those of us who have already died once."

"That's right. As ghost cultivators, we have already left behind our mortal friends and family in the mundane world. So, just a divine position is not that important to us."

"What we are actually concerned about is the Earthly Catastrophe..."

The words of several ghost cultivators made You Yue's heart tremble slightly and her expression became serious.

"Indeed," You Yue nodded. "The Earthly Catastrophe is mysterious and every time it comes, it exterminates countless lives. Normally, we wouldn't need to worry about it given our lifespans, since the next Earthly Catastrophe is still distant."

"But now, as the Yin gods of the netherworld with lifespans approaching infinity, we have to consider this issue of the Earthly Catastrophe, which we must coexist with in the long run with the Netherworld."

You Yue sighed and said, "You seniors are indeed knowledgeable and far-sighted, seeing things much farther than I do."

.

"Now that the netherworld of the Netherworld is established, it remains to be seen whether the Earthly Catastrophe will affect us Yin gods here in the Netherworld,"

Frowning, You Yue pondered for a moment before speaking, "The next time we see the Wolf God, we can ask him about this matter."

"If the Earthly Catastrophe affects the Netherworld when it arrives, then we should be prepared well in advance,"
