Me and countless me.

Chapter 223 True Underworld Work

Li Ke covered his head, trying to figure out the current situation.

Of course, he actually understood it.

It's just that I was tricked and had to come here to work.

I just don't want to believe it.

"You call me Your Majesty?"

Looking at the various strange things around him, even leaves, barks, animal skins, clay tablets, and "clerks" that were obviously rubbings of murals, Li Ke swallowed his saliva, pointed at himself, and looked at the great gods present.

Then he saw everyone saluting respectfully and bowing to him.

"Yes, Your Majesty! You are the new Yin Emperor. You rule the Yang world during the day and the Yin world at night. This has spread throughout the three realms!"

Li Ke nodded after hearing this, took a deep breath, and then asked.

“So how much paperwork do I need to deal with?”

The King of Hell smiled again, and the judge spoke somewhat embarrassedly.

"You have as many documents as there are living beings in the world. In fact, snakes, insects, rats, ants, etc. are also counted... So this... um... is really a bit too much."

The moment this sentence came out, Li Ke felt that it would be more pleasant for him to be hacked to death by Liu Xiu.

So, he picked up a slate with trembling hands, wanting to see if the job could be done.

While touching the seal, a lot of things came to Li Ke's mind. He knew that as long as he had the seal, he would be the true Son of Heaven in the underworld. The Ten Kings of Hell would not be able to survive a single move from him. A single thought could send countless wronged souls and evil ghosts into reincarnation, and even shorten the lifespan of many people who could be called immortals.

Even turning the underworld upside down and changing its appearance is not impossible. He can see people's past and present lives, and know the language, customs, and past of all living things.

But without the seal, he is still a novice practitioner.

So even though he had no idea what was written on the stone slab in front of him, he could still clearly see what it meant.

'In xxx, the Queen Mother of the West saved 100,000 ghosts and transformed them into the people of Tianshan. However, the ghosts had reached the end of their lifespans, so the Queen Mother of the West prepared an elixir of immortality to save them. However, some people did not take the elixir of immortality and were not included in the list at that time, so the ghost messenger took their souls and spirits, causing them to become alien objects and their whereabouts are unknown.'

'In xxx, a certain immortal lost his elixir, which caused 300,000 ants to become immortal. Their whereabouts are still unknown. The immortal has died and his soul is gone.'

'In xxx, Taishan Junju's judgment that the soul-destroying ghost was kidnapped and swallowed by a certain demon, but the demon's whereabouts are unknown. No one knows where the soul-destroying ghost has gone. After escaping, there is no trace. No one knows where he is. I don't know if he still exists in the world. '

'In xxx, due to the war between demons and immortals, the ghost catcher was killed. Zhang Wangwu is still alive, but his whereabouts are unknown...'

'In xx, a mortal's life span came to an end. A certain immortal was moved by his filial piety, so he hid his whereabouts and disturbed his fate. However, he later succeeded in cultivating immortality, but was spared from reincarnation. He is currently serving under a certain god.'

'In xx, because the ghost was blocked, a person was killed and his soul left. He still thinks he is alive, causing a living person to be pregnant with a ghost, causing endless killing. The culprit has been executed, but the whereabouts of the ghost is unknown...'

………………

Li Ke covered his head in pain.

Bad debts, one after another, and many of them were obviously settled long ago.

For example, some people are gathered together by demons and monsters. We don’t know whether they are dead or alive, but we have to find out!

Although you know they are dead, there is no evidence. What if they are not dead?
Some people were blessed by immortals, who said that they were moved by the other party's filial piety and kindness, and it was difficult to go through the procedures, so they gave them an elixir or a method to avoid the ghost messenger, and then completed the procedures. But some people forgot, so they didn't make up for it.

In the past, there were a large number of underworld departments, so no one cared about these things during times of chaos. After all, the authority over Taishan Jun was very chaotic, and every place had its own underworld.

In addition, there are situations that were previously in compliance with laws and conventions, but are now illegal according to the laws of nature.

So it is also a big problem to decide according to which heavenly rules and regulations you should follow! Just by looking at the documents on the two stone tablets, Li Ke saw the same thing, but with two different results.

One was rewarded by the Great Heavenly Venerable, and the other was punished.

So sometimes it is a question of whether to investigate or not, and whether to investigate strictly after investigation.

The weirdest thing is that these bad debts have an appallingly long history.

Li Ke picked up a banana leaf with trembling hands and couldn't help wanting to cry.

The above records include the disappearances of the dead during the period when the world was first created and when Nuwa created humans!
Where can he find this? !

So, Li Ke immediately thought of running away.

This is a joke!
This is not something that can be accomplished by someone with great supernatural powers, great virtues, or a great background!
He barely has merits, a great background, and has been appointed by the Great Celestial Venerable, but he really does not have any great supernatural powers!

So after thinking for a while, Li Ke looked at the judge on the side.

"Can I resign?"

So the judge gave an awkward but polite smile.

"Are you serious?"

Li Ke spoke righteously, pointing at the pile of things in front of him and the various ghosts that were moving these things.

"This is what I say from the bottom of my heart!"

The judge nodded. He knew very well and understood why Li Ke wanted to run away, but he still spoke carefully.

"But you are already the Emperor, the Son of Heaven in the underworld. This is known to all three realms. There are statues of you in all the major temples. So even if you are reincarnated, the gods will protect you and help you regain your memory and supernatural powers. There will also be thousands of ghosts following you to seek justice for you..."

Li Ke: “…………”

Rubbing his temple, Li Ke felt a headache.

Simply put, the propaganda in the heavens has been spread, and now anyone with a bit of ability knows that the vacant position of the Son of Heaven in the underworld has been filled by him, Li Ke. If he quits now, it would be a slap in the face of the Great Heavenly Venerable.

The monkey has all kinds of magical powers and can cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace, but he doesn’t!

And this is the throne! It is completely different from the small official position of the monkey!

However, Li Ke still did not want to accept his life as a 007 for the next few decades. Judging the Yang during the day and the Yin at night sounded cool, but only he knew how cruel it was.

Only the gods in the Celestial Empire would play like this!

So looking at the document in front of him, Li Ke finally struggled.

"Well, how can I handle so many documents in one day? I'm just a small practitioner, I don't have the power they have..."

Then the judge smiled and spoke again. "Sir, one day on earth is equal to one year in the underworld, and the time gets longer as you go deeper. But in the first layer of the new hell, one day on earth is equal to 3,750 years in hell. Each additional layer is even worse. The second layer of hell is twenty times longer than the first layer..."

Play like this? ?

Li Ke did some mental calculations and was stunned, because the time conversion for the Eighteen Levels of Hell already required the number Gai. He rubbed his temples and asked again.

"Then when sentencing, what time is used to calculate it? Is it the time of the human world, the time of the underworld, or the time of hell?"

The judge smiled again.

"This... is for you to judge."

Li Ke: "... In other words, I can send people to the Eighteen Levels of Hell, and then when calculating the sentence, can I count the five hundred years in the human world? Or count the five hundred years in the Eighteen Levels of Hell? And there is no such thing as not being able to work because of lack of time?"

The judge nodded.

"Yes, that's right. You can adjust the time of each hell at any time. This is your right."

Rubbing his face, Li Ke couldn't help but curse in his heart.

"This fucking fairy tale drama is ruining me!"

In various fantasy dramas, the Eighteen Levels of Hell are not taken seriously, but after really understanding it, you will realize how outrageous this thing is!

But he didn't ask what to do if there were demons practicing in there, because the seal told him that in hell, except for those with physical bodies and primordial spirits, no one else could practice! If you want to practice, you must have a body. For example, he has a body, so even in the underworld, he can practice.

Of course, it is different once you have a soul. After you have a soul, as long as you are not in hell, but in a normal city of the dead, the underworld, etc., you can also practice. It’s just not as convenient as in the world of the living, and you can’t go far, so it is impossible to become an immortal.

Moreover, when someone is sent to hell, his magical powers will be automatically sealed. Unless he escapes during the capture process or hell is broken into by someone with great magical powers, nothing will happen.

Covering his head, Li Ke immediately thought of the monkey. He looked at the documents in front of him that were obviously impossible to handle, as well as the monkey's record. After thinking for a while, he decided to do his job honestly. As for the monkey...

Li Ke recalled his communication with the monkey, thought of the monkey's innocent, cute and sensible appearance, and shook his head.

"Forget it, let's not let the monkey suffer. When he comes, we can just complete the formalities for him. I'll send someone to inform the monkey later. That's not right..."

Li Ke clicked his fingers, looked at the judge, held the seal in his hand, and began to handle his own government affairs.

"Pass on my order. Immortals who have not yet registered in the world should report immediately to avoid arresting the wrong people and causing unnecessary losses. Also, put these documents aside for now and bring up the documents of those who died this year. Start with these. All departments should first compile statistics on their own data and proceed according to this..."

Li Ke, who was holding the seal, had a thought, and the next moment, a series of forms appeared on the desk. This was still the credit of the seal.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Seeing Li Ke start to give orders, the whole underworld began to operate, and Li Ke began to familiarize himself with various things in the underworld. The acting Hades of the Ten Courts of Hell were relieved to see Li Ke working peacefully.

Yes, they were agents, and they came not to intimidate Li Ke, nor to laugh at Li Ke, but to prevent Li Ke from escaping.

And the fact is that Li Ke really wants to escape.

However, this position is not without benefits. For most immortals, obtaining the status of a god is a sure win. In fact, it is also true for him, because this position is actually beneficial to his spiritual practice.

Whether it is the memories of deceased practitioners, or the various salaries from the heavenly court, the output of the underworld itself can speed up his practice.

Moreover, he is now a person of his own, and he does not even have to pay taxes to the Heavenly Court. He is the sole decision-maker in the underworld regarding promotions and transfers. He can use all kinds of spiritual objects and precious materials at will, and no one will blame him for it. Even the burial objects of the dead can be considered his property.

It is a small court under the great court of Heaven, and its theoretical status is even no lower than that of the Great Celestial Lord.

Of course, that's just in theory.

Because the Great Celestial Venerable truly is in charge of the three realms, and Tathagata Buddha is a separate faction that must obey the orders of the Emperor of Heaven.

After becoming familiar with the affairs of the underworld and handling a year's government affairs in the mortal world, Li Ke returned to the world of the living. He really felt as if he was in another world. Just to become familiar with the affairs of the underworld, he had to use the seal in his hand to extend the time in the underworld a little. So when Li Ke woke up and returned to the world of the living, three years had passed in the underworld.

But these memories seemed like a dream after he woke up. Although he remembered them clearly, there was a vague feeling about them that did not affect his mind.

"Finally, I have finished most of it. What remains is daily work and sorting..."

Looking at Yin Lihua and Liu Xiu lying on him, Li Ke, who hadn't seen his wife for three years, chose to challenge the fate again!

Then--

"If you continue like this, I'm afraid you won't live more than twenty years..."

Wang Shiqi complained about the completely listless Li Ke. She could still fight him on equal terms when she was alone, but with two other such capable people, she felt that Li Ke might not live past the next twenty years.

"You do not understand……"

Li Ke held his wife in his arms and looked at his memorials. During his time in the underworld, he also took the time to prepare for the death of the group of insects above.

So it was arranged for tonight. Liu Xiu and he would lead the team to kill Tu, and then cut the Gordian knot and pacify the Central Plains within three years. And as for miscellaneous things, eighteen years would be about the same.

Then, after serving as emperor for eighteen years, he abdicated the throne to Liu Xiu and allowed Liu Xiu to go out and expand the territory.

But this time it was not because of destiny or the words of the Great Heavenly Venerable, but because he felt that if he meddled in the affairs of the living and the dead, he would sooner or later become insane and die.

That workload is crazy.

"But why do I feel like you haven't touched a woman in three years?"

Wang Shiqi looked at Li Ke's hand touching his chest unconsciously and complained again.

"Stop talking and kiss me."

Li Ke decided to make his death more romantic in this life!
But Li Ke, who was having sex with his wife, didn't know one thing.

He ordered all the practitioners in the world who were not on the list to register. The immortals and those who had followers came on their own, and the independent practitioners who got the news also registered.

After all, it’s not a big deal, the city gods and land gods in various places will be notified.

And the time limit is also very long.

but--

Sun Wukong, who was drinking with various demon kings in the Water Curtain Cave in the Flower-Fruit Mountain, simply waved his hand and drove out the local god and the ghost messenger without even looking at them.

"What login list? What King of Hell? I, Old Sun, have great magical powers! I have long since jumped out of the Three Realms and am no longer in the Five Elements! I am not under the control of King Yama! I won't sign! I won't sign! You are ruining our brothers' drinking pleasure! Get out now!"

Yes, yes!
The monkey is floating!
