Chapter 1151: You’re All Dead, We’re Willing to Serve the Ghost Emperor
In Fengdu Underworld City, Chu Kuangren had been repairing the Six Paths Samsara Formation. As for Lil Zhurong and others, the white-robed female ghost had already led them out.
In the meantime, Lan Yu and others gathered in the Shenshu Palace.
“Have you noticed that the rage qi in Fengdu Underworld City has become lesser over the past month or so?” Zhao Fangfei asked.
The rest of the Heavenly Champion nodded in agreement.
“It must be the Chief’s doing.”
“It’s unbelievable. I still can’t believe the Chief has become the Fengdu Underworld City’s Ghost Emperor.”
“Tsk tsk. As expected of the Chief.”
All Heavenly Champions’ eyes unconsciously shone with admiration when they mentioned Chu Kuangren, and it had become more pronounced over time.
Boom!
A roar sounded outside Shenshu Palace.
…
Everybody walked out of the Shenshu Palace to see countless Daoist patterns in the sky while the Six Gates of Samsara radiated with incomparable brilliance.
Daoist chimes sounded in the realm, and golden lotuses bloomed from the ground.
Thousands of auspicious brilliance shone over the earth, washing away the rage qi in the realm.
At that moment, Fengdu Underworld City no longer seemed creepy. In fact, it was filled with a magnificent atmosphere, especially the Six Gates of Samsara. Besides the endless mystery, it gave a solemn and sacred feeling.
“Where is this?”...
“W-Why am I here?”
“Boohoo… Dad, Mom… Where are you?”
“Look. What are those six vortexes in the sky?”
The dead souls on the street looked around blankly before they returned to their senses and began to panic.
“I-I remember someone seemed to have killed me.”
“Me, too.”
“Is this the Underworld?”
As the Six Gates of Samsara returned to their regular operation, all the dead souls recovered their sanity and recalled some events in their lifetimes.
While everyone was at a loss as to what to do, a figure in white gradually descended from the sky. He emanated a magnificent aura that made many souls submit to him.
Chu Kuangren was like a Divine Underworld Daoist reincarnated.
“Everyone, be quiet!” summoned Chu Kuangren solemnly.
His voice resounded through the entire Fengdu Underworld City. As everyone looked at him, they all unconsciously fell quiet.
“You’re all dead.”
Chu Kuangren’s words caused an uproar in the crowd.
However, they were not as panicked as before as they already had an idea of what had happened, and they waited for Chu Kuangren’s following statement.
“During this period of time, I’ll arrange for manpower to build residences for all of you and then arrange your reincarnation next.”
Chu Kuangren looked at the white-robed female ghost, who was not far away.
The female ghost’s body trembled when she noticed his gaze. If she were still in her body, her heart would be pounding hard.
It was not the heartbeat of falling in love but fear.
“He’s coming.”
“Is he going to make me pay for what I did? Oh my god. How is he planning to kill me? Will he force me to go up to the mountain full of knives, down to the flaming sea, or fry me with a pot of oil?”
Countless thoughts flashed through the white-robed female ghost’s mind.
“What’s your name?” asked Chu Kuangren indifferently.
“I-I’ve forgotten,” said the white-robed female ghost.
She had been dead for too long, and having devoured many dead souls over the years had confused her memory. Hence, it was true that she had long forgotten her name.
“Forgotten? Well, are you willing to help me manage the Underworld?” asked Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren could not rebuild the cycle of reincarnation alone, so he needed help.
The white-robed female ghost was the best candidate because she had a good cultivation base and knew Fengdu Underworld City well as she had been living here for a long time.
“Yes, yes. I do.” The white-robed female ghost was stunned for a moment before she quickly knelt before Chu Kuangren. “I’m willing to serve the Ghost Emperor!”
Only idiots would turn Chu Kuangren down.
She initially thought it would be good enough to keep her life as a ghost. However, she never expected that Chu Kuangren would put her in such an important position.
Therefore, she had to treasure such an opportunity. Although she could not become a Ghost Emperor, she had a bright future ahead as the second-in-command of the Underworld city.
“What about all of you?”
Chu Kuangren looked at the powerful dead souls behind the white-robed female ghost.
“We’re willing to serve the Ghost Emperor!” said all the dead souls.
The current Chu Kuangren had the absolute right to speak in the Fengdu Underworld City, and no soul could disobey his orders.
“Well, since you’re my subordinate, I’ll grant you a name so that I can do things easily in the future,” said Chu Kuangren while looking at the white-robed female ghost.
“Please grant me a name, Ghost Emperor,” said the white-robed female ghost respectfully.
Further away, Lan Yu secretly groaned.
‘Is Master going to grant a name to someone again?!’
“Since you’re all white, I’ll call you…”
‘It’s here. Granting a name by the color.’
Lan Yu had run out of cuss words to say.
She was called Lan Yu because of her blue eyes, while Chu Hong was called Lil Red from the beginning because her body was red.
Could the white-robed female ghost escape that pattern?
“Your name is Bai Chi.”
‘Oh?’
‘He didn’t name her Lil White?’
Lan Yu was a little surprised.
‘Wait.’
‘Her name is…idiot.’
‘What name is this? Is Master deliberately trying to humiliate the female ghost?’
Lan Yu looked at Chu Kuangren in doubt.
The female ghost in white was also stunned.
‘Idiot?’
‘What name is this?’
‘Is the Ghost Emperor unhappy with my previous actions?’
“During ancient Immortal times, there used to be four powerful ghost cultivators named Chi, Mei, Wang, and Liang. I hope you can reach their levels in the future,” said Chu Kuangren.
What he said was true. Although Chi, Mei, Wang, and Liang were now used to describe villains, they were famous ghost cultivators in ancient Immortal times as recorded in the Scripture Sea’s ancient archives.
It turned out that the name given to the female ghost in white did not mean idiot. However, it still sounded wrong, and it made her uncomfortable to think that people would call her that name in the future.
Therefore, the white-robed female ghost gritted her teeth and summoned all her courage to ask, “Ghost Emperor, I prefer the word, Mei. How about calling me Bai Mei?”
After that, she knelt anxiously.
Chu Kuangren frowned upon hearing her. “Bai Mei? I think Bai Chi sounds smoother, but since you like the name, I shall call you Bai Mei.
“Thank you for the name, Ghost Emperor!”
The white-robed female ghost, Bai Mei, breathed a sigh of relief.
Following that, under Chu Kuangren’s arrangement, Bai Mei led all the dead souls to rebuild the Underworld city. Many buildings gradually rose from the ground, and many souls had places to live.
Not only that, but Chu Kuangren also set up some organizations to maintain the Underworld’s public order and extradite the cycle of reincarnation, such as Holy Mirror Pavillion, Phantom Judgement Hall, Yin Army Division, Reincarnation Department, and many more. The personnel were selected from the dead souls.
Three months later, the ruined Fengdu Underworld City was in good order.
As Li Wangchen and others witnessed the progress, they realized that their Chief had extraordinary management skills besides his strength and talent.
However, Lan Yu was not surprised with the outcome as Chu Kuangren had held the post of a Sect Leader and an Empire Ruler. It was normal for him to possess such management ability.
Once everything was carried out orderly, the first Reincarnation Ceremony after the Fengdu Underworld City’s reconstruction began.
