The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

Yes, it's a city, not a ruin.

It's not a ruin.

It is a complete and proper city.

The city wall is made of gray-black stone and is estimated to be more than 30 meters high. Its surface is covered with dark red moss and unknown vines.

A white flag was planted every few meters on top of the city wall.

It wasn't an ordinary flag. It was a funeral banner.

The white funeral banners fluttered on their own in the windless underground space, swaying without wind.

Each funeral banner was covered with crooked, illegible writing.

But the feeling it gives people can be summed up in two words—bad luck.

Above the city gate, there is a huge Chinese character that reads "west".

The Land of the Dead.

The font is very old-fashioned.

The strokes carry a somber, otherworldly quality.

It looks like it was written with blood dipped in bone.

Most importantly, this character "西" is actually written in the script of the Divine Xia Dynasty?

Gu Xu sat in the sedan chair, looking up at the large character "西" (xi, meaning west), and a smirk appeared on his lips.

"Yo ho!"

He lifted the sedan curtain and stood up: "This place is quite grand. Much better than that gaudy palace up there. At least the aesthetics are on point."

His gaze swept around the city wall and then landed on the tightly closed city gate.

The city gate consists of two heavy stone doors, their surfaces covered with intricate patterns and runes.

Wisps of yellow mist seeped from the cracks in the door.

It's closed.

Gu Xu stared for two seconds, then looked up at the Eye of the Ancients floating in mid-air.

"Big eyes".

The tentacles of the Eye of the Past twitched, indicating that they were listening.

Gu Xu gestured towards the city gate with his lip, speaking casually as if he were ordering someone to open a package.

"Blow up the door."

Within the single pupil of the Eye of the Ancients, the purple nebula began to spin at an accelerated pace.

The charging time is short.

About two seconds.

"Buzz~!"

Then a ray shot out from that huge single eye.

The beam of light silently streaked through the air, striking the very center of the stone city gate.

The following scene is very simple and brutal.

The stone gate began to decompose the moment it came into contact with the rays.

Diffusing outwards from the center, the stone turns into gray powder, the powder into finer particles, and the particles into nothingness.

The whole process took less than three seconds.

Three seconds later, the stone city gate, which was about ten meters high, five meters wide, and of unknown thickness, appeared.

Gone.

Not even ashes remained.

It's like a painting that was originally hanging in the sky, and someone reached out and tore it down. The frame is still there, but the painting is gone.

The city gate was wide open.

Yellowish mist billowed out of the doorway, like steam that had been trapped for too long finally finding an outlet.

Then, the scene behind the doorway was revealed to Gu Xu.

Inside the city.

A dense swarm of monsters.

It's not the kind of dense, overwhelming kind.

It's the kind of dense, dense mass that you can't see a single gap on the ground when you stand on high ground and look down.

All sorts of monsters crowded into the open space behind the city gate.

There were masked demons in kimonos, undead warriors in armor, bald monks chanting sutras, deformed creatures crawling on their limbs, and some other things that Gu Xu couldn't even name.

Their common characteristic is that they have blue faces and fangs.

Each one of them is ugly in its own unique way.

A whole bunch of messages popped up in front of Gu Xu's eyes.

[Monster Name: Yellow Springs Masked Demon - City Guardian]

[Level: 88 (Elite)]

[HP: 15,500,000/15,500,000]

……

[Monster Name: Netherworld Armor Guard - City Gate Warrior]

[Level: 90 (Elite)]

I highly recommend "The Bizarre Job Change and Calamity: The Nation Begs Me to Be More Modest"! Go straight to the exciting part.

[HP: 18,000,000/18,000,000]

……

Monster Name: Fallen Monk of the Underworld - Chanting Monk

[Level: 88 (Elite)]

[HP: 14,200,000/14,200,000]

My level has increased again. From 88 to 90.

The health of elite monsters also increased dramatically, each one more outrageous than the last.

But the sheer number is what's truly terrifying.

A quick glance revealed that there were at least several thousand monsters in the area just around the city gate.

Looking further into the city, even more figures could be seen wriggling deep within the yellow fog.

Several thousand elite monsters ranging from level 88 to 90.

If this were a normal punitive expedition, it would be a catastrophic battle that would require the entire nation's resources to handle.

But placed in front of Gu Xu—

The thousands of monsters turned their heads in unison the moment the city gate was blasted apart.

Thousands of eyes turned to the doorway at the same time.

And what did they see?

A large red sedan chair stood at the entrance.

Behind the sedan chair followed a wedding procession consisting of several hundred monsters.

Above the group floated a giant eyeball with a diameter of ten meters, surrounded by more than a dozen tentacles with mouths.

Looking further up, millions of black ravens blotted out the entire sky.

A cat-sized, pus-filled rat was crouching beside the sedan chair, while a three-meter-tall giant carrying a stone coffin stood nearby.

The visual impact of this scene on those monsters is roughly equivalent to watching TV quietly at home.

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard.

Someone tore down your front door, and then a grand wedding procession from the underworld drove in.

The monsters' reactions were quite interesting.

One second ago, they were still howling.

The simultaneous roar of thousands of monsters was quite a spectacle.

But next second.

The oppressive force of the Calamity Domain silently swept over them.

That kind of suppression requires no pre-cast animation and no visual effects.

An invisible and intangible force field of rules emanated from Gu Xu's body, like an invisible hand gently pressing down on the heads of all the monsters.

The roaring stopped.

Thousands of monsters shut their mouths at the same moment.

Then they started shaking.

Starting with the city guards at the very front, the ranks spread outwards like dominoes.

The first row shook, and then the second row followed suit.

The second row started shaking, and then the third row couldn't hold back either.

Within three seconds, all the thousands of monsters at the city gate began to tremble.

The shivering wasn't because of the cold.

It's because of fear.

An elite monster of level 88, with nearly 20 million HP, a ferocious-looking creature with a blue face and fangs.

However, under the suppression of the rules of the Calamity Realm, they couldn't even stand firm.

Gu Xu leaned halfway out of the sedan chair, looked at the thousands of monsters trembling like sieves, and clicked his tongue.

"Well, another batch of laborers."

The Ghostly Carriage of the Styx, a procession of hundreds of ghosts escorting a bride, has been triggered again.

Those thousands of monsters didn't even have time to express any protest.

An invisible force dragged them from their original positions and arranged them neatly on both sides of the ghost palanquin.

The roar turned into muffled footsteps, the fangs were retracted, and the claws were lowered.

They all became sedan chair bearers.

The wedding procession, which originally consisted of a few hundred people, suddenly swelled to several thousand.

If this line were to start, it would probably stretch from the city gate all the way to the center of the city.

Gu Xu expressed his satisfaction with this.

He leaned back against the sedan chair and waved forward.

"Let's go into town."

The Styx Ghost Carriage, carried by thousands of "volunteer" monster sedan chair bearers, swayed and staggered through the city gate that had lost its main entrance, and entered the city of the Land of the Underworld.
