On the day of the grand ceremony, various factions hurried to the Underworld, each harboring their own thoughts. As they stepped into this realm of eternal darkness, the inhabitants of the Celestial Realm felt out of place, having grown accustomed to perpetual daylight.
They had expected a desolate and eerie landscape, but aside from the discomfort caused by the Underworld's power, everything else was quite eye-opening. Despite the night, the roads were lined with an array of splendid lanterns, their flames steady and their colors harmoniously shifting. Those with keen eyes recognized this as ghostly fire; its application was unexpected and intriguing.
The Underworld was not as they had imagined, filled with treacherous mountains and rivers. Instead, it featured intricately carved beams and painted walls. Compared to the bright colors of the Celestial Realm, everything here leaned towards darker hues, exuding a unique sense of tranquility.
Yun Shijiu was visiting the Underworld for the first time. Curiously observing his surroundings, he showed no sign of the composure expected from an emperor. Han Xi, walking alongside him with her arm linked through his, couldn't help but smile wryly. When she first learned that Yun Shijiu had declared himself emperor, she had doubted her ears—when had he ever shown such responsibility?
Before meeting anyone, it felt like a dream; after they met, all illusions shattered—he hadn't changed at all. He merely held a title of Throne while his father ran around tirelessly behind him, even arranging his meals.
Those from the Imperial Realm were treated with great respect wherever they went, especially since many from the Celestial Realm had close ties to the King of Hell. As Twin-Tailed Loli pushed her wheelchair-bound companion closer, Yun Shijiu exclaimed in surprise, "You look somewhat familiar."
Xian Kong smiled and nodded. "I have met several Emperors before; I come from a Little World along with Yun Di."
Yun Shijiu suddenly recalled, "Ah! I remember now! You two are those who followed Song Huai to commit suicide back then."
Morning Dawn frowned. "Who are you calling suicidal? We are—"
"Morning Dawn," Xian Kong interjected gently, "we are guests here; let’s be respectful." Little Loli pouted at this.
Xian Kong's gaze swept over Yun Shijiu and then briefly over Li Shang, Su Ye, Tide, and Ji Wei. He spoke politely, "Yun Di and his wife are closest to His Majesty and may visit His Majesty's palace. The rest of you Jun Shang may follow me."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Ye smirked and said, "We will also go to the King of Hell's palace. There are no outsiders here; Li Shang Di Jun is our master, Ben Jun is an elder, and Tide and Ji Wei are also old friends of the King of Hell—there's no need for formality."
Xian Kong paused for a moment before smiling again. "Very well; I believe His Majesty would be pleased to see you all."
Li Shang furrowed his brow. "Is she in a bad mood?"
Xian Kong shook his head. "I don't know. Since arriving in the Underworld all these years, His Majesty has been wandering with the Lords of Reincarnation; now she has returned."
Yun Shijiu widened his eyes in disbelief. "What are you all doing? Wasn't it decided that my sister would ascend to the throne? If she's not even here, what are you playing at? Has anyone been sent to find her?"
The day of the ascension has long been set, and I believe His Majesty will arrive on time. The entire Underworld trusts Him, so this does not delay our banquet. Let’s go.
Hmph, whether it’s due to an inability to inherit the throne or some other hidden agenda, you Ten Halls of Yama are making such a grand display. Aren’t you afraid of tarnishing the Underworld’s reputation?
Jiu Ji wore a cold expression as he approached with a group clearly distinguishable from those of the Celestial Realm. There were quite a number of them—enough to outnumber the team led by Xian Kong.
These individuals were dressed unusually, at least in the eyes of those from the Celestial Realm. They were cloaked in long robes of black and white, leaving only their eyes visible, wrapped tightly in their garments.
