I am Jinshan Youxia

"Yes, Father." Gaia picked up Ao Tianlong and jumped into the well. They went through the world of white dumplings and then jumped back into the mortal realm of the A Chinese Ghost Story world.

Zhang Chengyi began releasing corpse energy to locate the underworld.

"Whoosh!" Amidst the rapidly expanding corpse energy, the wandering ghosts scattered like birds and beasts.

Someone who sensed the presence of living beings arrived late, only to be met with the terrifying aura of death and the seemingly familiar zombies, before finally stopping.

"You seem to recognize me?" Zhang Chengyi looked at the ghost, whose spirit was twisted in a very distorted way, standing not far away, and asked in a friendly manner, "Do you know anything about the underworld—"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

The vengeful ghost, known by many as the King of Ghosts, vanished without a trace after letting out a scream.

Negotiations failed.

With a "whoosh," Gaia, who had quickly sent Ao Tianlong away and returned just as fast, flashed forward and her palm pierced directly through the ghost's soul.

"Huh?" She tried many times, but she couldn't grab it with her bare hands. Even when she applied her true energy, it would disperse the energy of her soul, that is, the yin energy, so she still couldn't touch it.

Seeing the pitiful vengeful ghost's yin energy being repeatedly dispersed, and that it was about to die in the blink of an eye, Zhang Chengyi quickly said, "Don't waste time."

"Oh." Gaia obediently stopped trying to catch the ghost.

She's very curious, just like a fun-loving person—a bad habit she picked up.

Zhang Chengyi pondered the scene he had just witnessed and roughly guessed what was going on. The world of Tianlong had no rules related to ghosts and monsters at all. The ghosts in the world of Inuyasha were obviously very different from the ghosts in the world of A Chinese Ghost Story, and there was not much overlap between their rules.

This led to the emergence of true qi as a form of energy, and yin qi as a form of energy, capable of interacting with each other. However, Gaia, lacking the three souls and seven spirits, was considered an object, while the soul in the world of A Chinese Ghost Story could penetrate all objects...

However, once a ghost loses the yin energy that sustains its form, will it perish? Perhaps it will become more broken and await reincarnation.

"Lord Rat God, we have made a new discovery." Midori said seriously, "The place you are in is not only another dimension, but also contains something similar to the Well of Bones, which is the key to keeping that world from breaking apart. Please be careful."

"Is something like the Well of Bones the key to keeping the world from breaking apart?"

Zhang Chengyi repeated it, guessing it was probably the Naihe River or reincarnation, but the problem was that he came with anger, wanting to find out the truth and beat up the Yin God. Now he was being told to be careful and not to destroy something that could destroy the world.

"Tsk, I'm a little annoyed."

First, because the underworld of A Chinese Ghost Story has the flaw of not being able to bear too much matter, it is impossible to send the white dumplings to search everywhere. Then, they cannot fight to their heart's content as they please.

“Found it, Gaia.” He condensed a long arrow with his corpse energy, and then Gaia carried him toward the underworld. They arrived at their location in just a few seconds.

"Click! Click!"

"This doesn't seem good..." Zhang Chengyi looked at the underworld, which was trembling violently. The Bridge of Helplessness had broken in the middle, the River of Helplessness was shaking continuously, and a large amount of water was surging. The ghosts that were tainted by it were screaming in agony.

The yakshas and ghost messengers vanished without a trace. In the previously indistinct underworld, nine figures in robes could be vaguely seen floating in mid-air, with countless rays of light emanating from them.

Zhang Chengyi felt that the face looked familiar, but he hadn't had time to think about it.

"Boom!" A violent impact rang out, and he found himself standing in the mortal realm again, his whole body riddled with pits and craters from the corrosion of the Naihe River, while Gaia beside him wore an innocent little expression.

"Oh~" he said, looking at his precious daughter.

Even lightning, such a weak substance, cannot be contained in the underworld. Each additional zombie accelerates the descent. Imagine trying to stuff the entire Earth into it...

The once clear sky instantly turned gloomy, and seven ragged, indistinct-faced Yin spirits crawled out from the ground, their red eyes filled with a predatory intent.

"Ahem~" Zhang Chengyi felt like he had messed up again, so he coughed lightly. "Would you believe me if I said it was a misunderstanding?"

To be honest, he didn't know whether all the underworld spirits were enemies. The key was that Old Yan was also one of the underworld spirits, so it was impossible for him to cause chaos and kill them all indiscriminately.

The main issue is that since his beloved daughter Gaia has always been in human form, he didn't take the mass of her original body into account. Now it seems that the underworld's burden of matter ignores human form and directly takes into account the physical size of the demons in the Inuyasha world.

It's a complete misunderstanding.

"He should be executed!"

"He deserves to die!" X6

The seven Yin spirits stretched out their hands together, and seven chains appeared out of thin air, binding Zhang Chengyi tightly. The originally active corpse energy immediately curled up.

"Clang!" The chains tightened, making his body creak.

Zhang Chengyi couldn't move at all. The corpse energy was sealed, and his zombie body simply couldn't move. With a stiff expression, he said in a strange tone:

"Hey, is it possible to reconcile?"

But the spirits showed no intention of reconciliation.

"Crack! Sizzle!" The once invincible heavenly lightning was completely powerless against these strange chains. The lightning struck along the chains, only to continuously pierce the air and cause the current to spread wildly across the ground. Semi-transparent arc-shaped barriers appeared around the seven Yin Gods, isolating them from all the heavenly lightning.

Silver light danced wildly, the wind howled, and in an instant, dark clouds covered the sky.

"Buzz!" Countless dense incantations lit up on the chains, flashing with golden light, absorbing the heavenly lightning and growing stronger—

It was practically a replay of what happened when he was undergoing his tribulation; the heavenly lightning outside was continuously being absorbed and used to suppress him.

"Well, it seems you really want to kill me, and you're quite well prepared."

Zhang Chengyi sensed that his hard body was being locked and dismembered. It wasn't being torn apart or destroyed, but rather it was being sealed. Eventually, it would probably break him into pieces and seal them to prevent his almost immortal regenerative abilities from taking effect.

"What sealed dark mage..." he muttered, then continued:

"Gaia!"

"Shh!"

Chapter 401 Re-entry

"boom!"

Gaia took the initiative and used her pure power combined with her true energy to create an explosive effect. She shouldn't have been able to reach these chains and Yin spirits, but the rule of energy interference is not exempt. The explosion she created was too strong and too fierce, shattering the chains in an instant and blasting the seven Yin spirits away.

Amidst a series of deafening explosions, her distorted voice finally reached us, carried by the compressed and shattered air.

"Roger that!"

The next second, Gaia clenched her fair hand, and the scattered shockwaves and the flying Yin spirits were pulled back by gravity and fell into her mouth.

"Hiccup~"

She opened her mouth and let out a burp, a very distinct mushroom cloud-shaped burp that escaped her mouth and then slowly dissipated.

Zhang Chengyi, his eyelids drooping, silently looked at his daughter. "Who told you to eat them?"

Gaia looked completely innocent and said, "Dad, didn't you say that if it's an enemy, we can eat it?"

Several years ago, she developed a skill based on the yokai resentment she used when she took shape, which was named Gluttony. Simply put, it uses gravity to suck people into her mouth and digests the life she sucks in on the spot by suppressing them with yokai power and using temperatures and gravity far exceeding those of the original earth core.

“You know what I mean.” Zhang Chengyi narrowed his eyes.

Eliminating the enemy doesn't mean you have to take down a much weaker opponent. Besides, these Yin spirits might possess some underworld secrets, including the whereabouts of Xiaoqian and the others. Killing them outright would just be a case of being greedy.

"I was wrong, Dad." Gaia raised her hands in surrender, giving up on the spot.

Despite her swaggering and domineering presence among humans, she is actually powerless to resist the will of the world.

Just like the Shiba Inu that is the manifestation of the world's will in Inuyasha, it may seem harmless, but it can directly modify the rules to a certain extent. It is like a player who has entered God mode. It completely crushes the individuals within the world and does not care about the damage to the world caused by the chaos of the rules. Just by changing the energy system, it can make monsters and warriors stop.

Even if one arbitrarily modifies the rules, it may cause the rules to change in a negative way, and one's own actions may be severely affected.

In reality, even if the world's will is just a component of countless pieces of information in the world, under Zhang Chengyi's manipulation, it is cleverly combined to become an intelligent entity with subjective consciousness. Modifying and correcting the world's rules requires him to gradually understand and modify them. The world itself is a miracle of rules pieced together. For the world's will, deleting any one of them could lead to the collapse of the world.

They wouldn't easily modify or delete it.

The world's existence has long been locked by the modding tools. Simple modifications are not a big problem. Temporary malfunctions will not cause the world to collapse. Modifications to the rules of life will at most result in a few strange monsters or some peculiar creatures with the ability to distort rules on a small scale, or mindless monsters made up of disordered information. As long as they are changed back afterward, it will be fine.

The absence of these rule-based monsters on a large scale will not affect the world at all.

Zhang Chengyi would occasionally discipline his mischievous daughter in the Inuyasha world by briefly modifying the rules. After all, the starry sky in the Inuyasha world was now devoid of normal life, filled only with monsters obsessed with killing and eating, or all sorts of strange and bizarre creatures, so it wouldn't affect anything.

Of course, completely locking down all rules and information is equivalent to freezing the world, with extremely serious consequences. Matter affected by the rules of the Inuyasha world would collapse. Even if he could do it, he wouldn't do it recklessly.

In short, Gaia may be a bit mischievous, but her prejudice and indifference towards lower-level life forms have long been corrected.

If they didn't correct their attitude, they would be beaten and locked up in the Inuyasha world, forbidden from eating. In the eyes of Gaia, a gluttonous demon from a planet who desperately craved food, this was the cruelest punishment.

After visiting twice, he obediently listened to his father.

"Dad~"

Gaia looked at her father, who seemed genuinely angry, and blinked pitifully.

This trick was taught to her by Guo Fu, who said it was very effective against her father.

"This is the last time." What else could Zhang Chengyi say? Things had come to this point, so he might as well make another trip to the underworld and see how things were going in the netherworld.

"Wait here for me to come back." With that, he had Suiko plant a bone-eating well nearby, and then jumped in.

-----------------

The underworld, the netherworld.

The River Naihe continues to flow, the ghosts have vanished without a trace, and the buildings of the underworld have been reduced to ruins.

This was the first time Zhang Chengyi had ever seen a proper underworld. Before, all he had seen were illusions or blurry shadows. He never expected that his first meeting would be with a completely destroyed one.

He tried to fly over, but as soon as he reached the edge of the abyss, he plummeted down, splashing a large amount of water, and the corpse energy in his body went out of control again.

"Glug glug~" The lingering corpse energy in the mouth blew a series of water droplets in the Naihe River.

"You can't cross if there's no bridge."

Zhang Chengyi was somewhat helpless. This body had rules corresponding to zombies, and if a zombie couldn't pass through, it simply couldn't.

Gaia is unlikely to be affected, but if Gaia is allowed to enter, the underworld will fall again.

He thought for a moment, then sent out a white ball of fluff through the Well of Bones, flying all the way to the edge of the River of Forgetfulness. It tested the waters first, and when it didn't fall in, it plunged into the river.

The River of Helplessness seemed to have no bottom; the zombie's body kept falling without any sign of stopping, and there was nothing around to be seen.

He could only make the white ball of matter multiply a little, and then quickly descend using jets of air, finally managing to retrieve the zombie's body after ten minutes.

The fact that demons from the Inuyasha world can appear in the Naihe River and roam freely without worrying about falling suggests that it's related to space, possibly targeting the unique three souls and seven spirits of this world.

The white ball of fur pulled the zombie's body to the surface of the water and quickly dragged him to the other side of the river, which represented the underworld.

"Bah bah bah!"

Zhang Chengyi spat out the Naihe water in his mouth, and the white dumpling kept cleaning the Naihe water off its body, soon restoring the corpse energy within its body.

He didn't try to fly again, but instead walked along the Road to the Underworld. The River Naihe alone was enough to prevent him from crossing, and who knew what strange things might be hidden deeper inside? It was better to be cautious.

As it turned out, his precautions were in vain. He traveled smoothly all the way, and everything was reduced to ruins. The ghost messengers, yakshas, ​​and spirits he had seen before had all vanished without a trace. He didn't see anything intact, not even a ghost.
