Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 858 Re-entering the Underworld (Second Update)

"I see. Then let's wait a moment."

The old god chuckled and nodded, then introduced to Jerry:

"The Supreme Lord Laozi is a deity who oversees the passage between the Yin and Yang realms. He has lived for tens of thousands of years. When you see him later, you must be respectful."

The burning boiler before you is a divine artifact that opens the passage between the realms of Yin and Yang. The smoke it emits allows souls captured after death to enter the underworld.

If this boiler goes out, it will take two thousand years to reignite, and then chaos will ensue on Earth.

Before Laozi appeared, the old god quickly taught Jerry the common knowledge that gods should know.

As Jerry listened, he secretly marveled at how different the worlds really were.

The Supreme Lord Laozi he knew in his previous life was an incarnation of Laozi, the Moral Celestial Venerable, one of the Three Pure Ones, who in this world had become a guardian deity who could travel between the Yin and Yang realms.

But it doesn't matter; he's encountered this kind of thing countless times in different worlds.

Merlin is almost always present in those magical mini-worlds, but the origins and backgrounds of Merlin vary from mini-world to mini-world.

"Who is this?"

The little old man with a halo above his head watched as the celestial being introduced knowledge about gods to a living human youth, and he couldn't help but become curious.

"His name is Jerry, and he is my chosen successor. In a way, you two are related; he is your junior brother."

The old god first introduced Jerry to the little old man, and then explained to Jerry:

"His name is Son Gohan. You should have heard of him. He is now a bodyguard of Laozi."

"So it's Gohan, I've heard Master Roshi mention you often before."

Jerry smiled and went up to greet Son Gohan.

He knew, of course, that the person in front of him was Son Gohan, but since Kami hadn't said so, he couldn't just acknowledge him directly.

"Jerry, so you were training with the God of Heaven. Thank you for saving Wukong before."

Upon hearing Jerry's name, Gohan's eyes lit up immediately, and he expressed his gratitude.

About half a year ago, he went to the human world with the fortune teller to meet his grandson Goku and his master Master Roshi. At that time, Goku told him about his experience at Korin Tower.

"Gohan. Who is Gohan?"

Just as Gohan and Jerry were chatting, a huge voice suddenly came from behind the boiler, and then a female giant at least 100 meters tall appeared in front of the three of them, holding a bowl.

"Lord Laozi, I have come to pay you a visit!"

The old god waved to the giantess, who looked down at him, then her body rapidly shrank to the size of a normal human woman.

Yes, the Supreme Lord Lao in this world is an absolutely beautiful goddess.

"Oh my, isn't this the little god? What brings you here?"

"Lord Laozi, I am about to retire, so I brought the next celestial being I have chosen to meet you. I hope you can take good care of him in the future."

The Heavenly God pulled Jerry to the presence of Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao).

"Greetings, Lord Laozi!"

Jerry greeted him with a smile.

Laozi looked Jerry up and down, a look of surprise on his face:

"Pretty good, you managed to hide your aura so well!"

If Jerry hadn't been standing there, she wouldn't have even been able to sense his presence, which means that Jerry has perfectly mastered the control of Qi, something that is not easy for humans.

However, she was only slightly surprised and didn't think much of it.

Gods do not value physical strength; they are the rulers of order and law. Even the most powerful person cannot escape the constraints of the gods' laws after death.

"Your gods change leadership way too quickly. I remember the last change was only a short time ago."

"It has been more than three hundred years, Lord Laozi."

The old god wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Is it going to take that long? Okay, okay, okay, hurry up and take him to the underworld. Gohan, how about we have rice balls for dinner tonight?"

Laozi waved his hand, then turned and smiled at Son Gohan.

"Of course, sir."

Son Gohan nodded to Laozi with eyes full of admiration.

Something's not right!

The old god quickly noticed the ambiguous relationship between Laozi and Gohan, and without lingering any longer, he led Jerry through the mist and officially entered the underworld.

In half a day, Jerry had already met dozens of gods with official positions in the underworld with the old god. They were in charge of various affairs, big and small, in the underworld.

Finally, he arrived at the old house again, where there was still an endless line of souls waiting to be judged and ghost messengers with unicorn horns dressed in suits.

"This is the last one, and also the most esteemed one in the underworld, Lord Yama. When anyone in the universe dies, their soul will come here to be judged by Lord Yama. Be more polite in a moment."

Before entering the house, God gave Jerry some special instructions.

Jerry smiled and nodded.

Enma is not weak, but he is not necessarily stronger than him now. However, in the underworld, with the advantage of his divine position, he is definitely no match for him. Even when Golden Frieza died and went to the underworld, he was easily suppressed by Enma.

His current full power output is at most 20,000 to 30,000, which is about the same as Vegeta's when he first invaded Earth.

However, if magical power is taken into account, that's a different story. He can use the power of magic, and even in the underworld, Yama cannot suppress him. Yama can use the laws through his divine authority, and he can use the laws in the same way.

"Lord Enma, this is my candidate for the next God of Heaven. I brought him here to meet you in advance."

Inside the courtroom, the old god introduced Jerry to the enormous Yama.

"You look somewhat familiar."

Enma glanced at Jerry, then seemed to remember something:

"Oh, it's you. I didn't expect that you would become a candidate for god after reincarnation. That's quite fitting."

"Does Lord Enma know Jerry?"

The old god looked puzzled.

"Oh, there was a slight problem with the Book of Life and Death before, and it happened to be his turn, so I remembered him. He was quite good, in his past life."

King Yama then recounted the past life experiences that Jerry had previously altered and fabricated using the laws.

After hearing this, the God of Heaven felt even more certain that he had made the right choice in selecting his successor.

Jerry simply smiled and didn't say anything more.

Only after the old god finished his introduction and was about to teleport Jerry back to the Heavenly Temple did he speak to the Yama King above:

"Lord Enma, I've heard there's a Snake Path here that leads to Lord Kai. I wonder if I can give it a try? I want to train under Lord Kai to become stronger and protect Earth from harm."

When the old god introduced the gods before, he deliberately asked about the King of the Realms, so it's not particularly abrupt that he's making this request now.
