Chapter 1040: Chapter 64: Escorting the Restless Souls (Part 2)
Can only accept it silently.
Moreover, it’s not that there’s never a solution.
They just didn’t think that they could supplement manpower from the souls of the deceased.
This is indeed a good choice.
“We respectfully accept.”
With Wang Sheng’s order, allocating manpower became much easier.
There was no need to compete.
Shuang Yan, who assumed the role of Impermanence, took quite a few Twin Star Beasts and was granted the position of Impermanence.
Feng Niu and Tian Ma, who assumed the roles of Ox-Head and Horse-Face, also chose Star Beasts that resembled their own image.
The selection by the Demon Netherworld Envoy was also straightforward, initially based on appearance, with the remaining Star Beasts being redistributed.
Before long, the allocation was smoothly completed.
This time, it did not cause any disturbance.
Seeing the allocation complete, the Star Beast Ancestor spoke again:
“With the allocation complete, next you must arrange reasonably to integrate all Star Beasts well. You all know the True Saint’s test is grave; go forth!”
“Yes!”
The Ten Great Yin Marshals all left on their own.
Evidently, they went to train their subordinates, not wishing any mishaps when it was their turn.
Time passed, and a month quickly went by.
Ksitigarbha, the Ten Great Yin Marshals, the Four Great Judges, and hundreds of thousands of Star Beasts all returned to the Underworld.
Even the Star Beasts who were in seclusion and did not arrive the first time were all present.
Of course, unlike the initial chaos, the Star Beasts now each stood behind a Yin Marshal.
Evidently, the training in this month was productive, though it also had to do with their unwillingness to miss the opportunity.
When Wang Sheng arrived, he saw this scene.
“Not bad.”
At least the planning looked organized and usable.
But he did not praise them, wanting to see if it would hold in the upcoming test.
In a month’s time, the Star Beast Clan had been integrated.
He was also utilizing the Soul Purifying Sea to cleanse the grievances of the Kongxiang Star Domain.
During the purification, he introduced some small surprises.
These surprises were meant to test the Four Great Judges and Ghost Messengers.
Thinking of these, he directly appeared in front of the Star Beasts.
“With a month’s time, I presume you are all prepared. Now, heed the command, Ghost Messengers!”
“Present!” The Ghost Messengers, including the Ten Great Yin Marshals, responded together.
“Proceed to the Ghost Gate to receive the souls.”
With a single order, under the leadership of the Ten Great Yin Marshals, the Ghost Messengers proceeded to the Ghost Gate to receive the souls of the deceased.
Ksitigarbha and the Judges did not move.
“Don’t we need to go?”
“No need. For the Underworld to run smoothly, everyone must perform their own duties well. Participating in matters not belonging to one’s own is not a good thing,” Jue directly replied.
So the Judges returned to the Judge Hall, waiting for the souls to arrive.
Meanwhile, Wang Sheng cast his gaze toward the Ghost Gate, watching the Ghost Messengers carry out their tasks.
When the Ghost Messengers arrive, he gradually released the souls of the Kongxiang Star Domain.
Thus,
As soon as the Ghost Messengers reached the Ghost Gate, they saw an overwhelming number of souls appearing.
The numbers were daunting, almost instantly occupying the road to the Ghost Gate.
Simultaneously, the souls, freed from the constraints of the Soul Cleansing Sea, gradually regained consciousness.
“Where is this place?”
“So terrifying, so eerie. How did I end up here? I want to go back!”
“Boo hoo, father, I’m so scared, where are you…”
The leading souls also saw a gigantic, endless gate.
Above the gate were mysterious words they couldn’t understand but subconsciously recited.
“Ghost Gate?!”
“What is the Ghost Gate…?”
“I seem to have heard of it. It’s said to be the gate to some place of reincarnation, entering this gate means stepping into reincarnation again.”
Innumerable civilizations share similar aspects, though it is but the term Ghost Gate.
This discourse spread instantly, and many souls recalled they were, indeed, deceased.
Instantly, the entire group of souls panicked.
“Dead, yes, I’m already dead, ha ha ha ha…”
“Turns out there’s truly reincarnation in this world; it’s a fortune among misfortunes; at least, there’s a chance to live another life,” someone chuckled bitterly.
Of course, some couldn’t accept it.
“How could I die, no, I still have wealth unspent and beauties not enjoyed. I can’t die.” Saying so, this person ran in the opposite direction of the Ghost Gate, seemingly believing he could be revived.
Many souls followed suit.
In an instant, there was chaos, even turmoil.
At this moment, the Ghost Messengers took action.
“Silence, runaways will be suppressed in the Eighteen Layers of Hell, never to be reborn, without reincarnation.”
Having spent a month understanding, Impermanence became acquainted with much of the Underworld’s vocabulary.
The Eighteen Layers of Hell, and birth, were effortlessly spoken.
The souls, not particularly strong, were instantly subdued by the power of Impermanence, a Twelfth Realm expert.
The previously riotous souls were immediately calmed, not daring to move an inch.
Seeing the deterrent effect, Impermanence immediately said, “I am the Impermanence, a Ghost Messenger of the Underworld. You are all dead, now souls of the deceased, but fortunate to have come to the Underworld with a chance for reincarnation to live another life. Obey orders and follow the guidance of the Ghost Messengers to enter the Ghost Gate, receive judgment, and enter reincarnation…”
Impermanence explained the situation briefly.
With a wave of the hand, the Yin Marshals commanded their subordinates among the Ghost Messengers to act.
This was when the strength of the Star Beasts became apparent.
The powerful force made the souls not dare to act rashly, only following the guidance of the Ghost Messengers.
The first step was classification.
Souls of different races were divided into different groups.
Then, led by different Ghost Messengers, they entered the Ghost Gate.
