Chapter 498 Conferring Titles on Yin Gods, the Divine Path System

The underworld, Fengdu Ghost City, on the banks of the River of Oblivion.

According to the rules set by the Emperor of Fengdu, even Meng Po has time to rest.

Whenever the River of Oblivion becomes turbulent or the River Styx becomes congested, the passage to the Bridge of Helplessness will be temporarily closed to ensure the safety of the ghosts.

This is often when Meng Po has a rare moment of leisure.

To be honest, given the intensity of Meng Po's work, most Yin spirits might not be able to keep up.

Meng Po was actually Wu Yao in disguise, which is why she had the patience and perseverance to brew "awakening soup" for ordinary ghosts and then send them back into the cycle of reincarnation.

It was precisely because of Meng Po's actions that she enjoyed extremely high prestige in Fengdu Ghost City.

As long as it doesn't involve matters of principle, even the Emperor of Fengdu would be willing to make an exception for her.

This naturally includes the Book of Life and Death, which should be held by Yama and the judges.

Although Yama has not yet returned to his post, the judges are still in the process of selection.

However, the Book of Life and Death had gradually taken shape with the establishment of the Earth Soul system.

"Is this the 'Ghost and God Scroll' of the Book of Life and Death?"

As she gently turned the pages of the book in her hand, Meng Po's expression appeared somewhat strange.

This book bears absolutely no resemblance to any normal book.

Even the three characters "Book of Life and Death" on the cover are depicted using proverbs and incantations.

The cover of the entire book is made of a material that is neither gold nor jade.

The pages inside are the materialization of yin energy and nether energy, constantly changing and flowing like living things.

Meng Po could sense that each name on it contained immense power.

If one were to tear out the pages containing the names of ghosts and deities, one could even use them to command the corresponding ghost or deity.

However, compared to this method of controlling spirits and ghosts, Meng Po was more surprised by the power of this scroll of the Book of Life and Death.

As a former witch of destiny, Meng Po could tell at a glance that the Book of Life and Death was a special talisman created using the [Divine Power of Destiny].

A typical Book of Life and Death can connect to the Earth Soul system, thereby revealing the life, death, and lifespan of living beings.

However, naturally born and raised deities are not included in this system.

Especially those ghosts and spirits who died, they took form by borrowing yin energy and evil energy, and were not under the jurisdiction of the Fengdu Emperor at all.

According to the old practices of the underworld, they would send Ox-Head and Horse-Face to capture it, then imprison it in the Nine Hells and Nine Springs to cleanse it of its yin energy and evil aura.

However, this requires an extremely high level of strength from the Yin spirit.

One wrong move and they could crash, or even die at the hands of those ghosts and gods.

Therefore, in order to prevent this from happening under his rule.

The Great Emperor of Fengdu used the power of the Earth Soul System to create this "Book of Life and Death," a book exclusively for ghosts and gods.

From Meng Po's perspective, this Ghost and God Scroll, apart from nominally belonging to the Book of Life and Death, is not the same thing as the Book of Life and Death in the conventional sense.

— He manifested his supreme divinity into a physical form and then bestowed it upon the Yin Gods under his command.

This is the true essence of the Scroll of Ghosts and Gods, and a major reason why the Great Emperor of Fengdu was able to bestow divine power and appoint Yin Gods on a large scale.

Meng Po, Yama, Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, Underworld Ghost Messengers...

These so-called "divine offices" are actually powers that have been differentiated from the Emperor of Fengdu himself.

All the ghosts and gods listed in the Book of Ghosts and Gods can use the power of the Fengdu Emperor according to their corresponding divine positions.

Theoretically speaking, even if the Yin Gods unfortunately stumble during their mission...

Afterwards, they can also reunite their souls through the Earth Soul System and be reborn in the Underworld. Most importantly, the Great Emperor of Fengdu, upholding his consistent compassion, did not force those Underworld Gods to accept his power.

For the first generation of underworld messengers, the divine position bestowed by the Emperor of Fengdu was more like an additional authority.

Only those ghosts and gods who are forcibly bound into the Book of Life and Death will be subject to the binding force of the Ghost and God Scroll by the Emperor of Fengdu.

"The Heavenly Mandate Divine Power can be used like this? I've really learned something new!"

As Meng Po turned the scroll of ghosts and gods to the back, she saw more names of ghosts and gods.

These ghosts and spirits were not the Yin Gods personally appointed by the Emperor of Fengdu, but rather ghosts and spirits that were forcibly restrained.

These ghosts and gods, according to their different attributes, were suppressed in the Nine Hells and Nine Springs respectively.

Among them, beings as powerful as gods were personally suppressed by the Emperor of Fengdu and sealed in the Six Heavens Ghost Palace, becoming one of the sources of power for Fengdu Ghost City.

Meng Po knew that the next step for the Emperor of Fengdu was to select suitable roles from among these ghosts and gods to fill the current vacancies in Fengdu Ghost City.

Of course, these ghosts and spirits don't receive any special treatment.

To put it bluntly, they were all atonement for their sins and had rendered meritorious service. Being able to move freely was already a blessing from the Emperor of Fengdu.

As the number of ghosts in Fengdu increases, the Fengdu Emperor will surely select ghosts with more suitable personalities and let them replace these ghosts and gods as the most basic ghost messengers in the underworld.

With this Scroll of Ghosts and Gods, the Emperor of Fengdu no longer needed to care about the power of those ghosts themselves.

"Will this thing be useful to you?"

While casually fiddling with the Bagua compass, Yeming unusually looked up and glanced at Meng Po.

This scroll of the Book of Life and Death was personally delivered to her by Ye Ming by the Emperor of Fengdu, so she was very curious about what Meng Po wanted it for.

"I don't need this scroll of ghosts and gods, but someone else does."

The current Meng Po is a being who has been resurrected from the dead. Having died once, she no longer has any obsessions or ambitions.

She gently closed the scroll of ghosts and gods, and another book that looked similar to it vaguely appeared in her hand.

"Who wants to use it?"

Just then, Shi Tianjun, who was trying to show off his cooking skills, took a moment to turn around and glance at the two of them.

In the hands of the Heavenly Lord, the spatula flipped with extraordinary flair; anyone who didn't know better would think he was performing acrobatics!
“Yes, Xiluo, she needs the names of these ghosts and gods now.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Tianjun was taken aback for a moment, then rolled his eyes without any attempt to hide it.

"I knew it. The only thing that can make you two worry is that stupid cat."

"If you ask me, isn't the Emperor of Fengdu just an incarnation of Li Boyang?"

"If he really wanted to give this scroll of ghosts and gods to that stupid cat, why would he go through all this trouble?"

With a slight shrug, Meng Po chuckled lightly in a calm tone.

"I don't know what kind of personality Li Boyang has..."

"But do you think I don't know what kind of personality Xi Luo has?"

"She's competitive and sensitive; I guess she hasn't told Li Boyang what she's planning to do yet."

"To be considerate of her feelings, let's be a little roundabout!"

After speaking, Meng Po walked over to Shi Tianjun and sat down, then handed him the copied scroll of ghosts and gods.

"Looks like I'll have to trouble you again."

"When you go back, remember to give this 'Earth Book' to Xiluo."
