Zombie Life Begins in Hongxi Village

When Ksitigarbha saw that Lin Yi had refined the Naihe Jade, he raised his right hand, and a soft white light appeared in his palm.

Countless fine, regular runes were faintly visible within the white light, flowing like water and converging into an invisible blade.

The blade extended from Ksitigarbha's palm, piercing through layers of Yin and Yang barriers, and slashed at the passage connecting Chacha's underworld and Hong Kong Island.

With a "snap," all connections between Cha Cha's Underworld and Hong Kong Island were severed.

"Quickly, now!" Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said in a deep voice.

Lin Yi had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

He suddenly threw Naihe Gui into the air.

However, Gui transformed into a long black bridge, which rose from the center of the Underworld Capital of Linming and passed through the barrier between the Yin and Yang realms.

One end of the bridge connects to the underworld of Lin Ming, while the other end is deeply embedded in the earth veins of Hong Kong Island.

As invisible waves spread, the Five Gates of Hell rose up in five locations on Hong Kong Island: east, west, south, north, and center.

Some confused and disoriented ghosts from the vicinity passed through the Gates of Hell and entered the underworld...

At the same time, the entire underworld was shaking.

Rumbling--

The ground trembled, and the runes on the connecting passage exploded one after another, turning into a shower of light fragments.

Immediately afterwards, a mighty torrent surged from the long black bridge into the underworld.

That is the power of incense offerings and prayers.

The pure faith emanating from all the living people on Hong Kong Island, those who believe in the existence of the underworld and the cycle of life and death...

Their beliefs converged into a boundless torrent of energy, flowing continuously into the Linming Underworld along the black bridge formed by the Naihe Jade.

The incense offerings and vows were divided in two: 60% went into the underworld, while the other 40% flowed into Lin Yi's Underworld King Seal.

Wherever the power of incense and prayers passes, the landscape of the underworld begins to change.

A fine layer of dark red moss appeared on the black soil surface.

Transparent aquatic creatures have appeared in streams, lakes, and seas, swimming in the water.

Strange creatures from the underworld appeared in the mountains and forests.

Flowers, grasses, and trees began to grow along the roadside... Plants and animals unique to the underworld began to naturally emerge on this land.

Some rare and precious materials quietly take shape deep in the soil; they are crystals that naturally condense after the power of will and the energy of the netherworld combine.

……

Incense offerings and prayers are a panacea.

It can be used to strengthen the divine realm, making its landscape more diverse and its laws more stable.

It can be used to enhance artifacts, making them sharper, stronger, and more spiritual.

It can be used to replenish divine power, making the gods' magical reserves more abundant.

It can also be used to strengthen the physical body of a deity, making the deity's physical body more resilient and immortal, and can also be used to accelerate cultivation...

For the righteous gods of the Underworld, the power of incense and prayers can accelerate the transformation of their divine bodies.

Once there is a sufficient supply of incense offerings and prayers, their deification process will be greatly accelerated.

What would normally take decades or centuries to complete may now be accomplished in just a few years.

At the same time, the paper money for the dead must be imbued with the power of incense and prayers in order to be used.

Offering incense and prayers is one of the most important forms of divine favor bestowed by the deities of the underworld.

Of course, local deities like the City God and the Earth God can also receive incense offerings because they have temples, but those incense offerings are accompanied by prayers.

Not only are the quantities small and varied, but there are also many trivial matters involved. Moreover, if his wishes are not fulfilled, the incense will produce toxic side effects.

Praying for peace and safety is fine, but if someone wishes for world peace, what can you offer to help them achieve it?

Therefore, the main way for the gods of the underworld to obtain incense offerings and prayers is through their salaries and the rewards from the King of the Underworld.

Just then, Lin Yi felt his arm sink, and the map of the Underworld that carried Lin Ming became a billion times heavier, like a real small world.

From a third-person perspective, Lin Yi is supporting the entire Hong Kong Island and the underworld, with the two worlds of Yin and Yang pressing down on his arms.

Lin Yi glanced at Ksitigarbha, then subtly raised his arm and transferred the map of the underworld to his back.

His body sank slightly, as if he were carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva shook his head as he watched this scene, truly not understanding why he would do something so thankless and exhausting.

Is it comfortable to carry this thing? Only someone with your abnormal physique could pull it off; anyone else would have been crushed to a pulp.

He put away the book and walked up to Lin Yi, about to say something.

At this moment, Acha walked over expressionlessly. She nodded slightly to Lin Yi, then looked at Ksitigarbha and said, "The handover is complete. I have to go now."

Without waiting for Ksitigarbha's reply, she turned around and led her men into the elevator.

Ksitigarbha knew her personality and didn't mind. He glanced at the newly renovated Linming Underworld and turned to Lin Yi, saying:

"There are still half a month until the great change in the world. At that time, a large number of demons and monsters may attack the underworld. You must be careful."

Lin Yi nodded and said, "No problem. I will personally oversee the Underworld. Anyone who dares to cause trouble in the Underworld will be annihilated, their body and soul destroyed."

"I'm relieved to hear that."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's expression relaxed slightly; he was quite confident in Lin Yi's abilities.

He then carefully chose his words and asked, "You had a conflict with the Holy Mother of the West?"

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "It's nothing serious, just a sparring match with her."

Ksitigarbha breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. That woman released some kind of virus in the Pangu Holy Land, wiping out her entire clan."

She is dangerous; you should avoid having too much contact with her.

Once she has complete information about you, she can create a targeted virus that affects causality, and you might not be able to withstand it.

"On the causal level? I understand."

Lin Yi was somewhat surprised. Was the Holy Mother of Yaochi really that powerful?

Looks like I need to be careful. I should try to avoid close contact with her in the future, and if I have to, I should never use my real body.

Seeing that Lin Yi had taken his words to heart, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded and said one last thing, "Hong Kong Island is now in your hands."

After saying that, he turned around, stepped into the elevator, and disappeared into the corridor.

Lin Yi stood in the square, watching the elevator slowly disappear, and let out a long sigh.

From then on, the souls of the dead on Hong Kong Island no longer needed to be approved by the Cha Cha Underworld; they would be handled directly by the Lin Ming Underworld.

The balance of Yin and Yang on Hong Kong Island is determined by Lin Yi.

He withdrew his gaze, turned, and walked into the Hall of the Underworld.

Inside the hall, Shoubo had already finished filing all the books of life and death that had been handed over.

Lin Yi handed over the King of the Underworld's Seal to him, entrusting him with the distribution of incense offerings and prayers.

The four judges returned to their respective positions and began to handle the reincarnation of the first batch of souls from Hong Kong Island.

Mao Xiaofang and Shen Cihang also returned to their respective City God's Domain and Land God's Domain, and began to sort out the ancestral graves, mortuaries, and mass graves within their jurisdictions.

Qin Bu and Yu Canhua have already led their team of Black and White Impermanence on a patrol of various parts of Hong Kong Island. Qian Kai and Kuang Guohua are also fully engaged in their duties.

Everything is running smoothly.
