Chapter 473 Black and White Impermanence, the Underworld Pantheon

"This place is getting more and more lively..."

"No matter how many times I see it, it's always so amazing!"

With a sigh, a jet-black mountain dog appeared on the banks of the River of Oblivion.

Behind the black mountain dog, Ye Ming, who had already assumed the role of "White Impermanence," remained indifferent.

Because this black mountain dog was none other than the incarnation of the Heavenly Lord.

Since Wu Yao decided to reside permanently in the underworld to protect the six realms of reincarnation, the incarnation of the Heavenly Lord of Eclipse has frequently traveled between the realms of Yin and Yang.

Today happens to be the fifteenth of July, a day when the gates of hell are said to open wide.

It's not surprising that the Heavenly Lord of Eclipse came to the banks of the River of Oblivion.

The only one who found it troublesome was Yeming. As the "White Impermanence" personally appointed by the Emperor of Fengdu, her duty was to maintain order on this road to the underworld.

"If it weren't for you, I would be on vacation in the mortal world right now."

Ye Ming gave Shi Tianjun a cold glance, no matter how good-tempered he was.

Even if I give up my vacation for several years in a row, I'll still feel annoyed to see the Eclipse Lord here.

"If you really want to accompany Meng Po, the Emperor of Fengdu will certainly not mind giving you the title of 'Wuchang' (meaning 'impermanence')."

"Then you won't need to specifically choose this day to come to the Underworld."

Upon hearing this, Lord Shi Tian laughed without any apparent concern.

"The Emperor of Fengdu believes that my current personality is not suitable for living in the underworld."

"Even Wu Yao seems to think so, even though she herself accepted the invitation of the Fengdu Emperor and became the first 'Meng Po'."

After receiving authorization from the Lord of the Underworld, the conferment of the title by the Emperor of Fengdu was not merely a formality.

Meng Po, Yama, the Six Heavenly Ghosts, Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, Underworld Ghost Messengers, Ferrymen of the River Styx...

Behind these titles lies true divinity, a divine power that transcends ordinary gods.

To be honest, whether it's Eclipse Lord or Yeming...

They had no idea how the Emperor of Fengdu had accomplished such an incredible feat.

The Heavenly Lord was actually a little better off.

He knew of the existence of the Red Carp and was also aware that Li Boyang was revered as "Great Master of Fate" among the human-faced fish.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Emperor of Fengdu, as the incarnation of Li Boyang, possesses similar abilities.

On the other hand, Yeming was completely bewildered.

Yeming simply couldn't understand how things like divinity, divine office, and divine power could be bestowed.

In a sense, it is precisely out of curiosity about this phenomenon.

Ye Ming took the initiative to come to Fengdu Ghost City and become the chief White Impermanence under the Fengdu Emperor.

There were not so many ghosts in the underworld in the past.

Therefore, the duties of underworld deities like Ox-Head and Horse-Face are often to go to the mortal world to capture evil spirits and ghosts, making them powerful law enforcers and combat professions.

The Black and White Impermanence, newly created by the Emperor of Fengdu, are more inclined towards non-combat professions such as clerical work.

Their duty is often to guide ghosts to understand the order of Fengdu and to maintain the operation of the underworld.

To be honest, let the Year God under the command of the Underworld Emperor take on the role of Impermanence.

Even the original Emperor of Fengdu expressed clear opposition to this.

Unfortunately, this was Yeming's personal wish.

Under her strong insistence, both the Lord of the Underworld and the Emperor of Fengdu ultimately decided to respect her choice.

This also shows that although Yeming has forgotten his past, he still retains some of his personality traits from when he was the Witch King.

As the only one of the nine Witch Kings born in a time of peace, dedicated to the pursuit of a coexistence between humans and gods, Yeming, even as a mere soul and transformed into the God of Year, retains his love of peace and aversion to battle.

"Speaking of which, what did you bring for Meng Po this time?"

Following Shi Tianjun all the way, Ye Ming suddenly asked a question when the two were about to reach the Naihe Bridge.

In the past, every time Shi Tianjun visited Meng Po, he would bring her some "special products" from the Hundred Mountains.

This includes, but is not limited to, gifts such as peaches from the Jade Pool, celestial maiden's feathered robes, jade hairpins and gold rings, some of which clearly reflect personal preferences and likes and dislikes.

Ultimately, before becoming Bai Wuchang (White Impermanence), Yeming was also a goddess.

Yeming naturally saw and remembered the gifts brought by Shitianjun.

In private, she would try out various outfits on her own, and then she and Wu Yao would comment on and tease each other, behaving like best friends.

"This time the stuff is different."

He tilted his head and glanced at Yeming.

The Heavenly Lord of Eclipse had clearly noticed the other party's underhanded actions.

Perhaps it was out of guilt for disturbing the other person's vacation again.

After a moment's thought, the Eclipse Lord suddenly stood up and transformed into a dog-headed, human-bodied form.

"I brought this compass with me this time..."

Then, the Eclipse Lord opened his palm, and a finely crafted disc appeared in his hand.

The disc features a yin-yang symbol and the eight trigrams, surrounded by dense and complex proverbs and incantations, as well as the twenty-four solar terms derived from them.

"This is the 'Bagua Compass' that Li Boyang has been promoting in the mountains of Baidi recently."

"This is a very special divination tool, and also a very convenient array... diagram?"

At this point, Shi Tianjun hesitated noticeably.

"Based on the yin and yang, the eight trigrams, and the solar terms..."

"Even ordinary people who are not good at divination can easily deduce the changes of the four seasons."

"If one is a prophet who is proficient in mathematics and divination, one can use this compass to predict good or bad fortune, find water veins, and even calculate the future."

Upon hearing this, Yeming's eyes lit up immediately.

It is obvious that the Bagua compass, a convenient divination tool, has a great attraction for any being born into a shamanistic family.

"Of course, if the user is not good at these things, it is also very useful as a tool for setting up formations."

Gently stroking the aphorisms and incantations on the Bagua compass, Shi Tianjun then took out a thin booklet.

"This is the 'user manual' that Li Boyang prepared for everyone."

"As long as you use it according to the instructions above, even ordinary people can set up various formations according to local conditions."

"In that kid's words, this kind of foolproof one-click operation is something even a simpleton could do."

Yeming glanced at Shitianjun indifferently and calmly corrected him.

"Er Lengzi can't operate this compass because he can't read."

Faced with Ye Ming's rare display of dry humor, Shi Tianjun opened his mouth in slight astonishment.

But Yeming's next words made him regret his proactive and enthusiastic introduction of the Bagua compass.

"You must have two of these Bagua compasses!"

"You give this to Meng Po, and I'll take yours as compensation for not being able to take a vacation."
