After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 394 End

Moving the capital would be a good thing!

The shadowy figure thought excitedly, "The capital has been moved. This place will soon become a dead city. Then, won't this place be his for the taking?"

Then he can kill everyone else here!
Use it as nourishment... As long as he has enough time, he will not be afraid of not being able to recover his peak strength, and may even surpass it!
"Let's move the capital!"

The young emperor, who had initially vehemently opposed moving the capital, suddenly spoke up in support.

During the court assembly, both sides, who had been arguing fiercely about whether or not to move the capital, were now somewhat stunned.

Soon, those who supported moving the capital began to cheer loudly, much to the chagrin of those who opposed it.

In particular, they also have to face the smug faces of those few petty people.

It's absolutely infuriating.
-
"Why would the Emperor suddenly support moving the capital?"

“The Emperor had clearly been very resistant to moving the capital before…”

"Could it be that you heard something from someone?"

"But we all saw it. Apart from the people who were discussing matters, no one else came in or went out. The Emperor didn't leave either. How can we listen to what others say?"

The officials were not very able to understand this.

As for why?

Even the young emperor himself couldn't explain it.

He felt that he seemed to have many more behaviors that were beyond his control... For example, the decision to move the capital was indeed his own, but it always felt very strange to him.

Something seems off.

It's as if the decision to move the capital was actually given to him by someone else.
-
"Little Yama, do you still think that the people here are just fabrications you made up, nothing more than insignificant wandering ghosts who cooperate with you on your missions, and not worth caring about at all?"

Song Lan's slightly mocking question was like a real whip, lashing him word by word.

Yan Jun had no answer.

While everyone else was still thinking that there was some kind of tomb underground, Song Lan already knew that it was not a tomb at all.

This underground...

They were just people who lived here before!

All those who turned to ashes overnight in the raging fire of her resentment!

"Little Yama, even now, do you still believe in that bullshit idea that good and evil will eventually be rewarded?"

Yan Jun looked at her blankly, not understanding the meaning behind her question.

"If good deeds are truly rewarded and evil deeds are truly punished in this world, then why do you go to such lengths to help a wicked person like me?"

Yan Jun instinctively retorted, "No, that's not true—"

"No? Where is it not?"

"Are you saying that I, who caused the karmic fire to burn and kill everyone in the city, am not an evil person? Not a demon?"

Yan Jun murmured, "No, no—"

He was immediately stumped by the question.

Is Song Lan a bad person? It seems so, but it also seems not.

She was indeed considered the most dangerous evil spirit by the underworld...

These are all objective facts.

but--

Yan Jun always felt that it shouldn't be like this.

"A person's goodness or evil should not be distinguished by this. You..." In my heart, you are a good person.

Song Lan, however, seemed to have heard a funny joke. "Then what should be used to distinguish them?"

"Is someone like me, who indiscriminately kills innocent people and bears the karmic debt of life, not considered a bad person?"

"According to your logic, those members of the Zhang family who harmed me for their own selfish reasons aren't really bad people?"

Yan Jun felt like he was being tricked: "No..."

He desperately wanted to argue, but found that he had no idea how to do so.

"Giving me a second life would only mean more innocent people being implicated and dying in absurd ghost stories... Little Yama, is this your kind of benevolence?"

After Song Lan discovered that this so-called rebirth was nothing more than a fabrication by the people of the underworld, the connection between this world and the underworld became increasingly profound.

That's why evil cultivators who committed crimes in the human world have exploited loopholes to create a new underworld.

Meanwhile, more and more wandering ghosts, due to the aura of the underworld, have merged with this world and have begun to appear frequently in front of people.

More and more strange things began to transform into ghosts and demons.

It's only the beginning, so nothing is clear yet. But as time goes on and the underworld becomes more and more integrated with this world, these drawbacks will become more and more obvious.

At that time, either this world will replace the underworld, or the underworld will completely surrender to this world, and all the people still alive here will become ghosts.

and……

They are nameless, faceless ghosts.

They will never have the chance to be reincarnated in this lifetime.

Perhaps, in the beginning, being chosen to be born into this world as a human was the luckiest thing for those lonely souls waiting to be reincarnated.

but now--

Is it a blessing or a curse? Nobody can say for sure anymore.

After investigating, the people in the underworld were also at their wits' end.

They had considered countless possibilities, but they never expected that... Song Lan, after being reborn with her memories intact, would discover the flaws in this world in less than a year, realizing that this world was not the one she died in...

Instead, it was a bionic world created by the people of the underworld, ostensibly to make up for her regrets.

Song Lan smiled and said, "Now I'm a little curious. You say that I, who killed all the innocent people in the city, am an evil spirit, a resentful and dangerous demon. So what are you, who are about to kill these people just like me?"

"Will you also join me as a demon locked in the depths of hell?"

Yan Jun pursed his lips.

I can't say anything.

They certainly won't be locked away in the depths of hell, although, strictly speaking, it was indeed their dereliction of duty...

If it's a dereliction of duty, a proper apology and a promise not to make the same mistake again at work is enough.

As for those innocent souls who perished tragically...

After they were selected, the underworld did ask them if they were willing!
Since they chose to skip the queue for reincarnation and be reborn into this small world ahead of time, the corresponding consequences they need to bear, including the annihilation of their souls, are all within the details of the contract, and they were aware of and agreed to them.

Whether human or ghost, everyone must pay the price for their choices.

What you choose as the cause will naturally lead to what you get as the effect... If the result does not match your initial expectations, it only shows that life is unpredictable and beyond human control.

In the end, Song Lan used all her ghostly power to rebuild a new world. Everyone in this world woke up to find themselves in the new world.

They had no recollection of how they got there.

All I remember is that it was a capital city that was moved here.

But I have no recollection of what happened before, only some vague memories.

This place has also completely fallen into the underworld, becoming a ruin.

The shadow that stayed here, attempting to grow stronger, was also swallowed up by the ghostly path leading to the underworld during its fall.
