Chapter 867 - 90: Overhauling the Underworld, Clearing Out Hell to Make Room for Souls

Summit of Tai Mountain.

"You won’t kill him?"

The shadow of the Three Corpses appeared in Duncan’s sea of consciousness. Since he had severed the Jade Emperor Daoist Monarch’s incarnation, he seemed to possess some divine power transformations.

Duncan replied calmly, "Even a piece of toilet paper has its use."

"He’s a smart person and useful, why kill him?"

The Three Corpses heard this and mused, "Indeed."

"Keeping him is indeed useful, as long as he is obedient."

Duncan calmly gazed at the distant clouds and rosy glow and said indifferently, "He will obey."

His divine thought now had split into two.

Part of Duncan’s primordial spirit had entered the Lingxiao Hall, which integrated with the South Heaven Gate, a part of the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court of this world was not a complete realm but was consumed and fused little by little, like creating a realm, eating a bit and it becomes bigger.

Initially, the Heavenly Court realm only had the South Heaven Gate set by Duncan, then he slashed open space with his cultivation, supported the realm with the Demon God’s bones, forming a small paradise.

Now Duncan had severed the Jade Emperor Daoist Monarch, naturally, the Lingxiao Hall was also consumed by the Heavenly Court realm.

Now the Heavenly Court already has the structure of ’South Heaven Gate—Lingxiao Hall’.

To say how many heavens and treasure halls the Heavenly Court has is impossible, for this world is a realm of source evolution, everything originally did not exist, Duncan creating the Heavenly Court is basically creating a Heavenly Kingdom from scratch.

His primordial spirit is within the Lingxiao Hall of the Heavenly Court, suppressing the aura of the Investiture of the Gods as part of the Heavenly Emperor.

However, due to the reason of merging with the Dao.

Duncan’s main body has humanity, while that primordial spirit actually lacks humanity, frankly speaking, it directly merged into the divinity of the Heavenly Dao, covering the human aspect of that primordial spirit incarnation.

"Where are we going now?" the Three Corpses asked cautiously.

Duncan’s figure rose into the sky, seemingly treading on the clouds, and calmly said, "To Fengdu."

Upon hearing this, the Three Corpses became excited.

He eagerly asked, "Should we head to the Underworld?"

"Want me to lead the charge?"

He couldn’t lead the charge in the Lingxiao Hall, but causing a scene in the Underworld, he could definitely storm the Yama Palace.

The Three Corpses, somewhat aware, knew he couldn’t challenge heaven but estimated he could hammer a few Yamas without much problem.

Duncan’s expression was somewhat amused, and he said indifferently, "Are you sure?"

Seeing his expression, the Three Corpses hesitated, intuition telling him there was a catch, so he decisively shook his head, "Forget it."

"Judging by your demeanor, it must not be as simple as storming the Yama Palace."

"Do you want to find Ksitigarbha?"

Duncan calmly nodded, "Naturally. He wants to enter and rule the Underworld, who else should I seek?"

"Whoever is in charge, that’s who I’ll find."

Luckily he didn’t impulsively rush to lead the charge, upon hearing this, the Three Corpses shrank back his neck and said, "Having severed the Jade Emperor, if you sever Ksitigarbha next, the recent centuries of mythology will be completely different."

Didn’t realize the original’s killing intent was this heavy!

Once these two big bosses are defeated, there won’t be any opponents left in the Central Plains.

It’ll be just a smooth ride forward.

Duncan seemed to have guessed the Three Corpses’ thoughts, and calmly said, "Remember the open-world game strategy?"

"Develop first and take down the strongest big boss."

"Then clear various side quests, finally the real gameplay begins, creating mode construction planning, my world."

My world?

The Three Corpses looked quite shocked, hesitating, "Do you truly want to create a God-Martial Great Ming? Like the Immortal Qin Empire?"

Duncan lightly sighed, raising his hand to point at the Heavenly Dao, "I’m owed a huge debt."

"Either run away."

"Or work honestly to pay it off."

"Besides?"

"Who said I want to sever Ksitigarbha?"

Everyone owes the Heavenly Dao a hefty debt, Duncan’s needn’t be mentioned, Ksitigarbha’s grand vow ’Hell is not empty, vowed not to become Buddha’, that too owes much debt.

Duncan is not a mad killer, casually severing this or that person, he’s visiting Ksitigarbha for serious matters.

For instance, discussing and planning together how to repay the Heavenly Dao’s huge debt.

Ksitigarbha owes earlier, should have more experience.

As long as the discussion goes on, Duncan won’t easily flip the table. Although the power of the Underworld isn’t as strong as the Heavenly Court, the disaster caused by tearing down the Underworld would be far more terrifying than smashing the Lingxiao Hall.

Fierce fighting in the sky is just gods in internal conflict, but an issue in the Underworld means a map full of the Night Parade of Hundred Demons.

Fengdu.

Ghost Gate.

A group of underworld officials are escorting a dense crowd of dead souls through the Ghost Gate, at the right side entrance of the Ghost Gate, a tall and skinny underworld official is talking to a short and stout fellow beside him: "Heard many have died in the mortal world again recently."

"Wars are ongoing both north and south, and natural disasters appeared in Jiangnan, this Ghost Gate is almost full."

The short and stout underworld official yawned, pulling the soul-restraining chain, several dozen ghost souls stumbled after him, complaining: "Indeed, I haven’t had a good sleep for several nights."

"I thought becoming an underworld official meant enjoying blessings and respect."

"Didn’t expect to get up earlier than a rooster, sleep later than a dog, haven’t had the time to enjoy the maidservants and concubines burnt by my grandson."

The tall and skinny underworld official sneered, "Those paper-made things, what good is there in enjoying."

"If there’s a day to enjoy a beautiful lonely soul female ghost, wouldn’t it be splendid?"

Mentioning beautiful female ghosts, the two underworld officials suddenly became spirited, they have longevity as underworld officials and can enjoy some pleasures.
