I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 486 Feng Xue has arrived, and the underworld will be at peace!
Upon stepping onto Mount Luofeng, Feng Xue did not radiate dazzling light, but rather exuded a natural majesty emanating from the starry sky, which made even the Netherworld, which should have been filled with yin energy due to the fifteenth of July, appear somewhat solemn.

The spirits parted the road silently like a tide, bowing their heads in reverence, their silence surging with a desire to dispel the gloom surrounding Buddhism.

The plaque that should have hung in the center of the main hall, reading "Hall of Senluo," had been lost somewhere. Instead, its original name was now displayed on the main hall.

[Zhou Jue Yin Tian Palace]

Yeah, the paint doesn't look dry yet...

Feng Xue looked at the plaque and revealed a playful smile, while the judges looked as if they had been waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing Feng Xue arrive, the group did not kneel down like many underworld officials, but instead stepped forward one by one, each carrying a tray.

The plate contained a seal, a mirror, a book, and a brush.

It is not some legendary innate spiritual treasure, but rather an object that symbolizes the authority of the underworld, created by the influence of mortal wishes.

"Your Majesty!" The head judge's voice carried a strange emotion, a bewilderment born of long-suppressed feelings. He held the tray of the Book of Life and Death in both hands, his back bowed deeply, his black crown almost touching the ground. Before Feng Xue could reach out to steady him, he raised his voice in a serious tone and called out:

"The orthodox lineage of the underworld has long been suspended outside! Now, thanks to the divine might of the Emperor, the evil has been swept away! This book, this pen, this mirror, this seal—all are imbued with the authority of the underworld. We beseech the Emperor to reclaim control of the netherworld!"

Feng Xue didn't resort to any elaborate courtship rituals. She reached out to help the judge up and said calmly:
"good!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

One judge after another knelt down, their voices like a game of telephone, constantly traveling far and wide from the mouths of the kneeling underworld officials along the way.

Feng Xue didn't play any tricks; the flame of her heart candle instantly ignited, and its reassuring light spread outward from the Zhou Jueyin Heavenly Palace on Luofeng Mountain.

The four judges, who had been feeling a little uneasy, instantly calmed down, and an unprecedented sense of happiness began to spread through them.

Although they are called the Four Judges, they are not actually the well-known names like Wei Zheng and Zhong Kui.

It's not that they didn't exist, but rather that those four had already left with the previous Emperor of Fengdu when the Buddhist sect took over the underworld.

As the new generation of judges, they witnessed the gradual decline of the underworld and the gradual division of their power by the Buddhist sect.

In recent decades, they have become like stamping machines, with the Ten Kings of Hell deciding good and evil, rewards and punishments at will. Not to mention the laws of the underworld, even the Mirror of Retribution has become dusty. Instead, the Judge's Pen is used diligently, all to increase the fortune and lifespan of those with connections.

You have to understand, the Book of Life and Death can't be altered arbitrarily. If you change a little here, you have to spread the change elsewhere. Changing one or two things is fine, but if you keep changing it every day, wouldn't that create chaos? These departments, which should be upholding justice and protecting the last vestiges of fairness in this world, have been forced into becoming programmers fixing bugs in the Book of Life and Death.

It could be said that since these four judges took office, the Underworld had been declining day by day. So much so that every day they reminisced about the previous day, and inevitably, they also thought about what the Underworld would have been like before Buddhism entered. Now, a Taoist master, adorned with the stars of the heavens and suppressing Ksitigarbha and Yama, has returned to Fengdu, bringing with him a sky full of starlight. How could they not be overjoyed?

The judge's enthusiasm was so high that Feng Xue, who had originally planned to take a break, felt a little embarrassed.

He thought for a moment, and then said:
"Does the Netherworld Codex from a thousand years ago still exist?"

"Your Majesty, the legal code is here!" A judge immediately took out a thick book, which was neither leather nor paper, but looked quite tattered.

The concept of "damaged" shouldn't exist in the underworld. The fact that this codex is damaged only proves that it has lost its value in the minds of most people.

Feng Xue picked up the law book, but the judge seemed hesitant to speak.

He wanted to remind him that the legal code from a thousand years ago was probably no longer suitable, but he was worried about displeasing the official. After a moment of hesitation, he felt relieved that "no matter how unsuitable it is, it is still more suitable than the Buddhist practice of judging cases arbitrarily."

However, Feng Xue is not a perfunctory person. He is stubborn and will not take an order no matter how much you coerce or tempt him. But once he takes an order, he will definitely do it well!

As soon as he got his hands on the codex, nano-units fell from his fingertips into the book, scanning page after page of legal provisions, and the databases of Little Bell and Kaguya began to connect rapidly.

The data collected from various worlds corroborated the Netherworld Codex, and then "stability" was abandoned in favor of "fairness." Mortal laws pursue stability in order to ensure the smooth operation of society, but the Underworld, as the highest violent authority over ghosts, does not need to consider these factors.

With a benchmark in place, Xiaolingdang and Huiye's work efficiency was phenomenal. A few breaths later, a silver codex composed of nanounits appeared in Feng Xue's palm.

"Take this and make a copy. Notify all judges to reinstate the functions of the Rewards and Punishments Division, the Investigation Division, and the Underworld Law Division. Reinstate the positions of the four judges: the Rewards and Punishments Division, the Law Division, and the Investigation Division. From this day forward, govern the underworld according to the law!"

"This..." The judge who handed over the legal code was a "judicial judge." Seeing Feng Xue casually flip through it and then take out a new legal code, he felt a little uneasy, fearing that this person was also a capricious one. However, hearing that his words were clear and logical, he took the underworld legal code with a bit of hope. While signaling his colleagues to hand it over, he himself adopted a "copy it now" attitude and began to flip through it.

This was quite a surprise. Even after being a stamping machine for hundreds of years, he still had his own thoughts. Looking at those legal articles that he was afraid he wouldn't understand, and even with annotations, the judge almost burst into tears!

Leaving aside the fact that the judge had begun copying the book, Feng Xue asked:
"Can the connection of the power of the ghost money be restored?"

"Yes," the investigating judge gave a firm and clear answer, then added:

"Although we can reconnect at any time, the original intention was to be sent to..."

At this point, the judge slightly raised his head, his eyes rolling upwards, and Feng Xue immediately showed a knowing look, saying:

"It's alright, just connect."

The previous Ksitigarbha was beaten into a pulp and no more power was sent down. In addition, the previous situation of Delis, who was obviously organized but never called for reinforcements, clearly showed that there were restrictions on his descent. So he was naturally not afraid of the threat from the Heavenly Realm.

Upon seeing Feng Xue's stance, the judge of the Investigation Department was overjoyed and immediately assured her:
"Your humble servant will do it immediately, and I guarantee it won't affect today's Ghost Festival... or the sacrificial activities for the Hungry Ghost Festival!"
