2050 Hua Wuai’s Thoughts, Divine Underworld Daoist Wants To Regain The Authority

A massive river flowed across the sky and lands in the Underworld.

By the river was a sea of equinox flowers, and in the center of it was a girl in a glamorous black dress. Her feet were soaked in the water, creating ripples as she swayed them lightly.

The girl was Hua Wuai, one of the Black Heaven Nine Stars.

She was the only one in the Underworld who could wash her legs in the Three-lives River, whereas others dared not even get close to the river.

Then, a token at her waist glowed.

It was the Black Heaven Token.

Her ruby eyes looked surprised.

“Oh? He’s back.”

Hua Wuai wore a rare smile on her face and started humming a melody.

All her meetings with Chu Kuangren in the past were replayed in her mind.

As she continued to sway her legs back and forth, the ripples on the Three-lives River started to project her memories of the times she and Chu Kuangren had met in the past.

The last time they met was twenty thousand years ago.

Chu Kuangren came to the Underworld to fulfill his promise, which was to free her from the endless reincarnation and the vortex of Samsara.

It was something that not even a Primordial could do, yet he managed to use the Great Dao’s energy and shattered the Samsara Vortex.

From that day onward, Hua Wuai was freed from the endless cycle of reincarnation.

However, Chu Kuangren assigned her a difficult task in return, which was to rule the entire Underworld.

He even gave her the authority of the Ghost Emperor while he was away, making her the new Ghost Emperor.

Hua Wuai was shocked. Ruling the Underworld was no doubt a privilege that countless people dreamt of.

Yet, Chu Kuangren handed her the power just like that.

The bright smile on his face that day was branded in her mind.

“I have to govern the Immortal World and rule the Underworld, and it’s tiring. That is why I’m putting you in charge of the Underworld.”

To others, such responsibility might be honorable and powerful; to Hua Wuai, it was just a burden.

She had been trapped in Samsara for countless years and had finally broken free from it.

All she wanted was to spend her time planting flowers by the river and going out for a walk at times.

If she got tired, she could sleep for tens of thousands of years.

She wanted to live a carefree life, whereas making her the ruler of the Underworld was troublesome and tiring.

However, for some reason, she accepted the task.

It was not because of how tempting the authority was, but because she wanted to share the burden.

To her, Chu Kuangren was a boy much younger than her, yet he shouldered an unimaginable burden over the years.

He wanted to revive the human race’s glory and overthrow the Immortal Hall; he led the Pan Gu Universe to fight the Central Heaven Universe; he protected the Immortal World and maintained order in the Underworld.

It was tiring, and she felt bad for him.

After winning the war against the Central Heaven Universe, he should take a good rest. Hence, she thought of sharing his burden for the time being.

That was her thought when he assigned her the task, but she did not expect to do it for twenty thousand years.

While he was gone, the ancient beings from ancient times had come back to life one after another, and some belonged to the Underworld.

She met many old friends, and one of them was the Divine Underworld Daoist.

Unfortunately, the meeting was not exactly a happy reunion.

The Divine Underworld Daoist wanted to regain control of the Underworld, but she declined.

She was just taking care of things temporarily while Chu Kuangren was gone. She was not the real Ghost Emperor and had no right to hand the authority to someone else, not even the Divine Underworld Daoist.

She even got into an argument with him, and it escalated into a fight.

Many dead souls perished in the process.

“Buzz!”

Suddenly, a strong fluctuation spread across the void in the Underworld.

The water of the Three-lives River grew restless.

Several figures emerged from the void, carrying a powerful aura.

Hua Wuai recognized them.

They were Fengdu Ghost Emperor, Ten Hellion Temple King, Taishan Magistrate, and others from ancient times. They were once the people in charge of the Underworld.

Now that the Underworld was functioning as one under Chu Kuangren’s reformation, they no longer retained their previous authority.

Therefore, they sided with the Divine Underworld Daoist to retain control of the Underworld, and Hua Wuai became their biggest enemy.

The thought made her sigh. “Men die for fame, and so do the ancient Immortals.”

“That’s right. You and I have seen countless souls go through reincarnation, so you should know that this is the flaw in intelligent beings,” said a frosty voice.

A strong and intimidating aura appeared from the void.

A man in black emperor robes came out. He had a crown on his head and a jade belt around his waist. Each move he made screamed of power.

“Divine Daoist!”

The Ghost Emperor, the Hellion King, and the others bowed at the man, who was the Divine Underworld Daoist.

“Divine Underworld Daoist, as I’ve said before, I cannot give you the authority. Leave,” Hua Wuai said.

“If I can’t get it from you today, I won’t leave, even if I have to kill you!” the Divine Underworld Daoist said coldly.

Hua Wuai felt sad for him.

She used to be friends with the Divine Underworld Daoist, and he was one of the few friends she had.

Now, he stood against her and might even take her life.

“How sad. You and I, reuniting under such circumstances.”

“Handover the authority, and you and I can go back the way it was.”

“We can’t go back anymore.”

Hua Wuai shook her head.

She raised her hand, summoning equinox flowers in the void. Massive samsara energy was blasted at the Divine Underworld Daoist.

The Divine Underworld Daoist released a punch in retaliation.

The endless equinox flowers were crushed.

Then, his expression turned grim. “Must you fight me because of Chu Kuangren? How long have you known him? I’ve known you for millions of years!”

The Divine Underworld Daoist and Hua Wuai had known each other since ancient times, making them friends for millions of years.

Hua Wuai and Chu Kuangren, on the other hand, had only known each other for a mere twenty thousand years. Even then, they barely met, yet it was because of that she decided to oppose him!

The Divine Underworld Daoist was baffled.

“Divine Underworld Daoist, I might have known you for millions of years, but you and I have never really known each other. Otherwise, this won’t happen today,” Hua Wuai said.

What if they knew each other for eternity?

They were never really close, to begin with, and time would not change a thing.

If the Divine Underworld Daoist really treated her as a friend, he would not be asking her for the authority of the Underworld and claimed that he might kill her if she refused.

From the start till the end, she was the one invested in the relationship, not him.

With that, the last bit of warmth in her eyes faded, and she looked at the Divine Underworld Daoist coldly.

It stung his heart; it frustrated him.

Why? Why could she not hand over the authority?

“Hua Wuai, you’re too selfish! If you treat me as a friend, hand the authority to me. It seems like I have overestimated our relationship. Knowing that our relationship is so fragile, I think I can be guilt-free killing you today.”

The Divine Underworld Daoist took a deep breath and channeled the samsara energy.

It was as strong as Hua Wuai’s.

The full power of the Divine Underworld Daoist was unleashed!
