The reunion of the living and the dead is likely to be very touching, so in order to avoid being soft-hearted, Lyle chooses to visit the ruler of the ghost world, and by the way, see the legendary ghost artifact that can automatically collect information about the creatures in the human world.
Since both the human world and the ghost world are small worlds created by Pangu, there is some kind of invisible relationship, and it cannot be considered that this ghost artifact has a super technique of "reading the information of other dimensions". However, at present, Lyle can only use idealistic magic to make alchemy items that "collect specified simple information within a certain range", and the range of action and information accuracy are lacking, and what can still be obtained from the ghost artifact.
As a result, the king of the Ten Palaces saw it, and the ghost artifact was also preliminarily analyzed, but considering that he had a history of snatching ancient artifacts, the meeting atmosphere was not friendly at all, purely because people were worried that he would go crazy and destroy the world in the ghost world, so he didn't dare to put on a stinky shelf.
In fact, Lyle had no intention of offending the rulers of the Ghost Realm and the Demon Realm at all, and it was only because the ancient artifact was hidden in the treasure house of the divine realm, and he had a reason to use the ancient artifact.
After leaving the Hades Palace, Lyle is guided by black and white impermanence to visit the old town of the ghost capital. The old town has black soil with no grass, bare green belts of dead trees, lakes that resemble pools of blood and magma, and buildings decorated with skulls and giant animal bones.
But ignoring the difference in aesthetics, this is a place where the management of the prefecture, the ghosts at the grassroots level, and the souls of the dead who are allowed to live in the ghost world due to historical problems all live quite satisfactorily...... Of course, the needs of spirit creatures are different from those of physical creatures, so we must look at the specialties of the ghost world rationally.
For example, the bowl of yellow-brown medicinal soup in front of Lyle's eyes-
"Huh? Meng Po soup works well~" After listening to the performance of the wailing band, admiring the exotic plants with flowers that look like goldfish, soaking in the magma bathhouse, and tasting highly poisonous dishes, Lyle finally came to the famous scenic spot 'Nai He Bridge' in the underworld, and drank a bowl of Meng Po soup at the small shop on the Wangxiang Platform next to it.
Seeing that the medicinal effect of Meng Po soup was ineffective against Lyle, Bai Wuchang put his mind at ease, shook his long tongue and smiled: "Originally, if you are reincarnated, you will lose the memory of your previous life, and the effect of Meng Po soup has been miscommunicated by the mortal world, but it can be tormented with the elixir of the underworld, which can play a role in nourishing the soul and calming the mind." β
"The king of Hades is merciful and takes pity on the souls of the dead who are being punished, and specially entrusts Meng Po to oversee the cooking of this medicinal soup to help the souls on the road." Hei Wuchang added, "Originally, most of the medicinal soup was cooked by slaves, but Meng Po knew that Lord Donghuang Zhong was here, so she specially boiled this soup with her own hands. β
"Slave?" Lyerch said, stretched out his hand to the bridge and pointed to the blood-colored river under the bridge, "Aren't all the people full of evil sent to the corresponding place?" β
Lechuan River, the river is full of punished lonely souls and wild ghosts, insects and snakes are everywhere, the bloody wind blows in the face, just standing on the bridge, you can hear the sad chorus of the characteristics of the underworld.
"Lord Donghuang Zhong doesn't know that the punishments, including the 'Eighteen Layers of Hell', can only punish living beings who have committed regular crimes, and there are some deceased who have particularly serious circumstances that need to be decided by the King of Hades." Hei Wuchang pointed to the back of Meng Po's shop, and a thin man with a sad expression moved the medicinal materials on the cart into the store one by one, "For example, that guy, surnamed Han, doesn't do so much work in the world, runs away to be a tomb robber, and also passes on the technology to his children and grandchildren, what kind of tomb robber family does he plan to develop...... No, not only does he need to serve in the underworld for a hundred years, but even the children and grandchildren who were unlucky enough to be born in his Han family will suffer. β
As soon as the words fell, a strange insect suddenly burst out of the 'medicinal herbs' and bit the thin man, and the thin man fell to the ground with a miserable howl, and the nearby ghosts walked over unhurriedly, obviously not seeing him as a resident of equal status with himself.
"Is this the so-called 'violation of yin morality'? It always feels like it doesn't fit my values...... Death is dead, and it is better to benefit others than to bury things in the ground. Lyle hesitated.
Bai Wuchang said disapprerovingly: "This is the concept of the living, but they have a different perception of the dead, especially those who did not have time to be reincarnated when the tomb was robbed. β
ββ¦β¦ After all, in this world, staying in the ghost world is not the end of a whole life. Lyle drank the Meng Po soup that didn't taste very good, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fortunately, I mixed well in my last life, I was reincarnated as the Eastern Emperor Bell, even if I die, I will not come to the ghost world, or if I don't use my style, it is possible for the king of Hades to sentence me to 10,000 years of slavery~"
"Huh...... The adults laughed. This can't be picked up randomly, black and white impermanence can only be replied with a dry smile.
"Sure enough, for me, the human world is the most boring world, and everything in the ghost world looks so novel and interesting." Lyle flicked the soup bowl with his fingers, and the soup bowl flew lightly to the tomb robber surnamed Han, and the healing spell on it was triggered, eliminating the poison of the insect for him, "However, today's trip will end here first~The coming day is long~"
ββ¦β¦οΌβ Black and white impermanence has a tragic face, they really don't want this person to come to the ghost world to visit if he has nothing to do.

The new city built due to the backlog of dead souls, just looking densely populated, is actually just a concentration camp-like existence. Don't believe the rumors that the living can burn paper money to spend on the souls of the dead, a group of souls who are empty-handed and have no need to survive can't even make a business, and a small house to live in until they go to reincarnation is enough.
Most of the deceased are hanging around every day complaining about this and that, waiting for the quota of reincarnation, but there are always some idle guys who do voluntary labor. For example, Jing Ke, Six-Fingered Black Hero, Yan Dan and others took the initiative to maintain law and order in place of the ghost messenger and protect the bullied deceased; For example, when he was alive, he was the top brand of Zilanxuan, and he played the piano every day to appease the anger of others; For example, Han Fei and Xiang Yan preached their ideals in the pile of the dead and carried out prenatal education.
Under the guidance of black and white impermanence, Lyle joined the remnants of the anti-Qin forces on the periphery of the new city, and there were a few more ghosts next to him-
"Oh~ didn't cry and beg me to resurrect a few more people?" Lyle smiled at Tianming.
"Who cried and cried! I Jing Tianming is a manly husband, my little brother Shaoyu cries a hundred times, and I don't cry once. Tianming said dissatisfied.
Shaoyu said angrily: "You kid, this is going to be related to me?" β
Jing Ke instinctively stretched out his hand, but remembered that there was a difference between life and death, and that touching himself would be an obstacle to his son's health, so he could only put down his arm and said with a wry smile: "We have all been dead for so long, and we have already been relieved to see the souls come and go, and we are waiting for the day when it will be my turn to be reincarnated." β
"Very good, very good~" This 'relief', Lyle has already obtained, which is also the reason why he never pursues eternal life, "The former Mo family giant and Xiaoyi's brother, are you relieved?" β
"Forgive me for being stupid."
"Please also ask the adults to come to the rescue."
Yan Dan and Xiao Ling made a gesture.
"So, finallyβ" As soon as Lyle stretched out his hand, three clusters of ghosts compressed into balls flew out of Gao Yanli's body, from the cuffs of the old man Ban, and Xiang Shaoyu's jade peri, and fell into his palm, "You three miscellaneous hairs, when do you want to follow?" β
"What!?" The three of them were shocked, and Gao was the most detached.
"............" Black and White Impermanence looked moved, but in the end he didn't say anything, and the underworld never managed the head of the strong.
"Two of them don't emit any special evil thoughts, so let you go." Lyle threw the ghost hidden in the cuffs and Jade Perry to Black and White Impermanence, "As for you, you fell in love with the white-haired girl next to you, and when you want to seize the body of the ice sword man, you can hug the beauty by the way, right?" β
(The adults spare their lives, but the villains are confused for a while!) The only soul orb still in his palm begged for mercy.
Lyle closed his eyes and said to himself calmly: "I accidentally came into contact with a certain evil will during the battle with the Nine Heavens Xuannu, although I thought that I had not been eroded, but since then I have been thinking about a question - standing on the position of the supreme will of the infinite dimensional world, should I let the scum be reincarnated smoothly, or should I give the scum a ruin?" β
(Spare your life, spare your life!! The Soul Sphere is aware of its future.
"Then, the prefecture gave me the answer, although all people are eager to have a 'reincarnation' after death, but more than half of them want to be reincarnated with 'rewarding good and punishing evil' when they are reincarnated, so I am responsible for this part of the work." Lyle clenched his fist.
Out of one's wits.
