Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 919: Soul Doubt, Opposite Results
In the Pixiang Hall, the Jade Emperor and several other Daluo looked at the sudden changes happening in the human world, and their faces turned ashen in an instant.

The last moment, they were still discussing the external war situation and whether or not to hold a ceremony within the world to demonstrate their external "martial arts".

But who could have imagined that before the ceremony was even finalized, such a thing would happen in this world.

The rat that came from outside the domain ambushed and killed Yun Zhongjun - and in its hand, it held a vicious magic weapon condensed from the flesh, blood and souls of millions of mortals.

Those thirteen curse nails were like thirteen slaps in the face of the Jade Emperor.

On the battlefield in the Far North, few people knew about the external achievements, but once the thirteen cursed nails were used, the internal losses, the flesh and blood and souls of millions of mortals, were truly displayed before everyone's eyes.

In this case, even if the Jade Emperor wanted to tell others about his military achievements, it would only be seen as a fig leaf that he used to cover up the mistake.

"check!"

Before the patrolling angels could bring the thirteen cursed nails back to Heaven, the Jade Emperor's voice had already echoed in Heaven.

"Millions of souls have never returned to the great cycle of reincarnation - and in the underworld, from Yama to the ghost messengers, not a single one noticed anything unusual."

"Announce the Yama Kings of the Ten Palaces!"

"I want to ask them how they became the King of Hell!"

The anger in the Jade Emperor's words was not concealed at all.

There was no need for a messenger to go to the underworld to convey the order. A ray of golden light, carrying the Jade Emperor's decree, penetrated the boundary between yin and yang and fell straight into the underworld.

In the underworld, the Jade Emperor's edict flashed with magnificent golden light, like a sun, illuminating the underworld.

In the underworld, the ten Yama Kings all have miserable expressions on their faces.

The judges under their command carried many documents back and forth, comparing them item by item with the records in the Book of Life and Death.

The Ten Kings of Hell above were walking back and forth, waiting for the results of the comparison by the judges, while constantly wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads.

The Underworld was formed when the heaven and earth were unified, the underworld gave in to the heaven, and then the ghosts and gods of the underworld retreated. It is the largest and most special department of gods in the heaven.

They are in charge of the order of the underworld on behalf of the ghosts and gods, and their power is extremely heavy - they don't need to care about the face of any powerful person between heaven and earth.

But on the other hand, the karma they possess is quite low. Ten Yamas put together cannot even make up one Emperor. From the horizontal comparison, it is obvious how low their rank is.

This is why, between heaven and earth, there has always been a saying that Yin gods are inferior to humans.

He is in a low position but has great power, and is at the forefront of the cycle of life and death, facing directly all living beings between heaven and earth.

Under such circumstances, the busyness of the Yin God in the underworld is unimaginable to others - when they took over the power of the Yin God, they began to work non-stop.

I am so busy that I can hardly spare any time for retreat!
Even in the human world, some ordinary practitioners who are burdened with the karma of the underworld and have not yet ascended to heaven rarely have free time.

In addition, the ghosts and gods in the underworld are subject to the most stringent "supervision" between heaven and earth - almost every living being has the right to burn incense and pray, and to sue the underworld in heaven.

Once those complaints are found to be true and are not false accusations, the underworld gods involved will definitely be killed on the beheading platform.

Even the ten kings of hell will suffer the consequences.

Of course, if it is discovered that it is a deliberate false accusation, the person who falsely accuses the Yin God will also be killed on the beheading platform.

——Generally speaking, when it comes to matters of the underworld, the crime is often treated as three times more severe.

Just like now, it involves the souls of millions of living beings.

If it is finally discovered that there are indeed evil spirits and ghosts involved in their underworld - then maybe five or six of the Ten Kings of Hell would be killed at once.

The entire system of the underworld's Yin gods needs a major overhaul!

Matters involving millions of souls are a big deal.

If those millions of souls fall into the hands of powerful beings from outside the domain, it would be a complete and utterly huge event!

For such a major event, there would be no way to explain to the heaven and earth unless a few Yamas were beheaded to offer sacrifice to the heaven.

“No problem here.”

“There’s no problem here either.”

"There is nothing wrong with me here."

“This one has no mistakes or omissions.”

The judges' voices rose one after another.

The judges checked the documents concerning the different living beings between heaven and earth.

After each book was checked and confirmed to be correct, the corresponding judge's extremely relaxed voice was heard.

Above the underworld, when the Jade Emperor's decree flashed like the sun, the judges in the Yama Palace felt that they had exerted all their potential since death.

"Your Majesty, all the documents are accurate."

"Over the years, although there have been souls that have not returned to the underworld for various reasons, their whereabouts have also been recorded."

"Moreover, the number of those souls, no matter what, has never reached the point of one million."

"Especially the souls of mortals."

Before the decree came down that day, the judges, with cold sweat on their brows, went through all the documents since the underworld was revealed.

Those souls that returned to the great cycle of reincarnation, the souls that were reincarnated from the great cycle of reincarnation, and so on... they did not have time to confirm the specific details.

However, the number of those souls had a general outline during their communication.

——Just like the income and expenditure in the finance department’s account books.

Although the discrepancies are not completely consistent, no matter how hard you look, you can't find a gap as big as that of millions of souls.

So at this time, these judges gradually became more confident.

"My lord, even if there was a mistake in the matter of the million souls, it was definitely not a mistake made by our underworld."

The judges presented the numerous documents one by one.

"That's good, that's good." After confirming that the results checked by the judges were not false, the King of Hell wiped the cold sweat from his body, straightened his crown and clothes, and took the decree of the day.

"In that case, please come with me to the Heavenly Palace to meet the Emperor."

As he spoke, King Chujiang, one of the Ten Kings of Hell, bowed in another direction.

"The underworld is related to the cycle of reincarnation, and it cannot be delayed." "This time, we will go to the Heavenly Palace to meet the emperor, but the affairs of the underworld cannot be delayed."

"I hope that Ksitigarbha will take charge of the affairs of the underworld while we are on our way to heaven."

"Amitabha, well done, well done." After King Chujiang bowed, a skinny old monk appeared in a corner of Beiyin Mountain and bowed back to King Chujiang.

"Old monk, I will follow Yama's command."

……

"It's really bizarre." In the Heavenly Palace, after looking at the information reported by the Ten Kings of Hell and personally confirming that the information was not false, several Daluo on duty, including the Jade Emperor, all showed surprised expressions.

According to the records of the underworld, there is no mistake in the number of souls, especially those of humans - then why did this cursed nail come about?

That flesh and blood is fine.

There is no one to look after the corpses of mortals, and the world has experienced many wars since the Han Dynasty.

Those rats from outside the domain have been dormant in Pan Tian for a long time. During this long period of time, it is not surprising that they steal some corpses and flesh to refine vicious magic weapons.

However, it would be fine if the corpse and flesh were stolen.

The millions of human souls within that cursed nail were real things that appeared out of thin air!
However, the existence of the soul, especially the naturally intelligent soul of the human race, can only be complete if it has the true spirit as its core.

Millions of human souls mean millions of true spirits of heaven and earth.

Just under the nose of Daluo, millions of true spirits appeared out of thin air - you can imagine how outrageous this matter is.

"What did you find out from the interrogation in the prison?"

"Have those six rats from outside the domain confessed where those millions of flesh, blood, souls, and true spirits came from?"

The Jade Emperor's gaze fell on Yang Jian, who was also called back to heaven.

After the six powerful men from outside the domain were brought back to Heaven by the people from the Arctic Exorcism Institute, they were directly thrown into the death row for interrogation.

"Reporting to Your Majesty." Yang Jian stood up.

"These people seem to be still hoping for the best. They are still talking nonsense, trying to get something. It's hard to find any truth in their words."

"In my opinion, it is better to grind them first."

"After all their delusions are wiped out, they will probably tell the truth," Yang Jian said.

After confirming that these one million human souls appeared out of thin air, he felt relieved - the appearance of one million true spirits out of thin air was indeed mysterious and could even be described as inexplicable.

But no matter how absurd the reality is, it is better than someone in the world colluding with the outside world and assisting the strong outsiders to steal Pan Tian’s true spirit.

"Then you will be allowed to move the power of time in the Heavenly Prison, and teach me a lesson about their tempers." The Jade Emperor nodded, and then his gaze fell on the Emperor Qinghua of Dongji and Niangniang Shiji.

"Emperor Qinghua, Lord Dunan, have you two figured out the origins of the millions of souls that were sacrificed?"

The Great Emperor Qinghua of the East is Taiyi Zhenren.

The Lord of Du Nan Yuan is Niangniang Shiji.

Niangniang Shiji was originally in Skull Mountain, where she saved those war souls and had many merits.

After the karma system was revealed, he had a feeling in his heart. After thinking about it, he stepped into the underworld and condensed the karma of overcoming difficulties - then he left his name in the Jade Book of Faith and Loyalty, and achieved Daluo.

After the cursed nail was brought back to heaven, it was assigned to them. It was up to them to convert the souls that had been sacrificed, so that they could be freed and enter the cycle of reincarnation again.

"Reporting to Your Majesty." Emperor Qinghua and Lord Dunan Yuan also stood up and talked about their salvation of the human souls.

Those souls were condensed in the cursed nails, suffering endless pain, and each one of them had gone insane.

Moreover, their essences have been squeezed to the extreme, transformed into a killing force that incites humanity to target the immortal gods of Pan Tian. Therefore, their souls and true spirits are extremely fragile.

It can be said that with just a slight touch, those countless souls will disperse, and those true spirits will be annihilated along with them.

——This is the real killer move of the cursed nail.

When it falls, there is no way to stop it with magic power or magical treasure - it will explode if it hits the target.

And once those millions of souls and millions of true spirits explode, infinite evil power will surge, and even the Daluo will not be able to withstand it.

Of course, Daluo has the ability to distort time - unless this cursed nail is cast unexpectedly by another Daluo, otherwise, any Daluo can calmly distort his own time and "pacify" the cursed nail with the most gentle means, so that the cursed nail will not explode in front of him.

Therefore, although the cursed nail is terrifying, it is only a means below the Daluo level.

It is precisely because the souls and true spirits in the cursed nails are extremely fragile, therefore, even Emperor Qinghua and Lord Du Nan Yuan, both of whom are Daluo who have obtained the Dao Fruit, do not dare to take shortcuts in converting them and use the method of distorting time and space to speed up the process.

Otherwise, those souls and true spirits would really explode in that distorted time.

"Those souls are crazy and fragile. Even if we have the power to convert them, appease them, and allow them to return to reincarnation, it will still take some time."

Emperor Qinghua said.

Remember this carefully, Du Nan Yuanjun continued the words of Qing Hua Emperor.

"However, although it is difficult to convert all the souls, there are some souls among the millions of souls who have regained some consciousness after being comforted by us."

"From these souls that have regained consciousness, we can know their origins."

As Du Nan Yuan Jun said this, he turned his gaze to the Ten Kings of Hell.

"Several Yamas said that the underworld is flawless and that all souls are rotating without omission."

“But why, when the two of us were comforting those souls, we knew from their souls that they were the people of Pan Tian?” Du Nan Yuanjun said, pointing with his finger.

A soul named "Du Cheng", his memories and his life, appeared in this Lingxiao Palace.

Then Du Nan Yuanjun challenged again.

Among the documents brought from the underworld to the heaven, the records about "Ducheng" emerged.

It was just right, comparing them one by one with the remaining fragmentary memories of Du Cheng.

However, according to the records in the underworld, Du Cheng's soul has already returned safely to the great cycle of reincarnation!
A person who was recorded in the document and returned to the great cycle of reincarnation - however, his soul appeared in the cursed nail and was used as the "material" for refining the cursed nail.

Cold sweat once again appeared on the back of the Ten Kings of Hell.
