"No, what was that nonsense just now? How did Yinyang Tiānzi appear, is that correct?"
It was a full minute before the appearance of Yinyang Tiānzi vanished, and only then did Zhou Rinsi grab hold of Báilù's shoulders and shake him vigorously.
What the heck is going on.
Then came the appearance of the centenarian demon.
Then came the sudden emergence of the Yinyang Tiānzi who had existed for ten thousand years.
Poor thing, she's just a beginner!
Poor thing, she's even unable to defeat the newly evolved dragon!
Is that right?
"Don't shake me anymore! If you keep shaking, Your Highness might die from being shaken!"
Báilù's voice was weak and feeble, as if he had been drained of energy after being squeezed countless times in one night.
"I'm not entirely sure of the specifics, but I do know that recently, Taishan Seal mysteriously trembled. Following that, my father's soul suddenly awoke."
"After that, my father's soul reminded me that the three realms were about to be disturbed, and the Taishan Seal was something that a mere prince like me couldn't guard. Therefore, he instructed me to find you, and then everything that just happened unfolded."
Báilù's voice remained weak, and he sputtered out the cause and effect of everything in a broken and discontinuous manner.
"I was right! The Taishan Seal is indeed here! I'm so angry!"
Just as everyone was processing the information, the Demon of Little Intention suddenly spoke up, taking a step forward and staring at Báilù with an unamused expression.
"During the event of the Taishan Fufei (ancient Chinese ritual of revering Heaven and Earth), this very demon actually sensed the aura of the Taishan Seal from you, yet found nothing at all. Even until my death, I failed to locate the Taishan Seal within you!"
The Demon of Little Intention narrated with a sense of indignation.
A hundred years ago during the Taishan Fufei, the Demon of Little Intention happened to be housed within the body of a certain Tianbing, thus having the opportunity to participate in the battle.
As the battle reached its climax, the Demon of Little Intention keenly sensed the presence of the Taishan Seal and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to secretly steal it away.
However, the aura of the Taishan Seal disappeared in an instant. When the Demon of Little Intention fixed his gaze on Báilù, he found that he could no longer sense its existence.
Then came a century passing by swiftly.
The Demon of Little Intention, through a series of coincidences, transferred into the body of a woman named Lu Nianwei and resided within this psychiatric hospital.
Then came the night when the Taishan Seal suddenly trembled, and the Demon of Little Intention once again sensed its aura. It was instantly overjoyed.
From that very night, the Demon of Little Intention began to unconsciously release its demons, attempting to locate the Taishan Seal.
"What do you want with this thing? Don't tell me a demon wants to become the master of the Underworld?"
Zhou Rinsi played with the Taishan Seal in his hand and looked at the Demon of Little Intention with a confused expression.
"Of course! That is the position of the ruler of the Underworld! Once seated in that place, I will have access to an endless supply of emotional power!"
The Demon of Little Intention greedily stared at the Taishan Seal in Zhou Rinsi's hand.
It was only because of Zhou Rinsi's terrifying Thunderbolt Magic that the Demon of Little Intention didn't try to take it directly.
This is the Taishan Seal that symbolizes the authority of the Underworld!
"This guy is right. The Underworld is huge, much bigger than you can imagine."
You Shiyu Lu couldn't stand the Demon of Little Intention's arrogant demeanor and nodded towards Zhou Rinsi.
"How large?"
Zhou Rinsi asked subconsciously.
"It's huge to the point of being unimaginable. Just think about it, there are hundreds of billions of lives in your human world alone, and for each of these hundreds of billions, their lifespan is only a hundred years."
"That means that every year, hundreds of millions of souls enter the Underworld. Excluding those who can be reincarnated directly, at least seven out of every ten of these hundreds of millions will have to linger in the Underworld, enduring the torments of Hell."
"And among them, there are many souls who need to serve sentences of a hundred or a thousand years. Year after year, this has accumulated to a number of ghosts in the Underworld that far exceeds everyone's expectations."
"This is just for your humans. It hasn't even included the Taoist Immortals, Ghosts, and Demons. Without the vastness of the Underworld, how could it possibly accommodate so many souls?"
You Shiyu Lu patiently explained to Zhou Rinsi the vastness of the Underworld.
It's essentially a gigantic prison for billions of souls.
The emotional power provided by such an enormous number of souls is naturally beyond calculation.
No wonder the Demon of Little Intention had been fixated on the Taishan Seal for so long. This was the heaven where all demons could achieve liberation directly!
"Unbelievable."
After hearing You Shiyu Lu's explanation, Zhou Rishi could only spit out the word "unbelievable."
Glancing down at the Taishan Seal in his hand, it wasn't just an ordinary jade seal. It was a life and death token that governed the fate of billions of souls.
"Zhou Rinsi, since your father has chosen you, the Taishan Seal is now fully entrusted to your care. Under no circumstances should you let anyone else know the location of this object, and never let anyone know that it's in your possession. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles!"
Although Báilù's voice was weak, his eyes were incredibly firm.
"Your Majesty, should we kill them?"
You Shiyu Lu shifted his gaze back to the Demon of Little Intention, this time including Lu Nianwei as well.
Knowing two people would increase the risk by twofold.
To ensure the safety of Zhou Rishi and the Taishan Seal, killing them would be the best course of action!
"You dare! What's wrong with you? Get over there and play!"
Zhou Rishi immediately returned the stare with a fierce expression.
Báilù didn't care about the life or death of the Demon of Little Intention, but Lu Nianwei was a different story.
To kill Lu Nianwei in front of her?
What are you even talking about?
"Um... I was just making a suggestion. Don't get mad, don't get mad!"
Under Zhou Rinsi's angry gaze, You Shiyu Lu quickly awkwardly laughed and dodged behind Báilù.
It's just joking. This sister can even create the Thunderbolt of Heaven, and he doesn't want to die!
"That guy's words are harsh but his reasoning is sound. Are you really not worried about them exposing your actions?"
Despite his exhausted appearance, Báilù looked at Zhou Rinsi with a serious expression.
In Báilù's eyes, Lu Nianwei and the Demon of Little Intention were complete strangers. As they were two completely unstable factors, it would be better to kill them.
"I'm more worried about what you said during the day."
Zhou Rinsi rolled her eyes at Báilù.
However, Báilù and You Shiyu Lu's concerns do have some truth to them.
Lu Nianwei was, after all, someone else's child. If she accidentally spills the beans...
Zhou Rinsi looked at Lu Nianwei in her arms, hesitating.
Lu Nianwei had roughly understood the words spoken by You Shiyu Lu and Báilù. Now, she was blinking her big eyes at Zhou Rishi, with a fleeting fear in her eyes.
To Lu Nianwei, Zhou Rinsi was just a nurse sister she had met a few times.
As a nodding acquaintance, killing her would be no problem.
"Don't be afraid, your sister won't hurt you."
Watching the panic flash in Lu Nianwei's eyes, Zhou Rinsi smiled and spoke.
This little girl, who is only fourteen years old, has such a thin and weak body that she seems like she could be blown away by the wind.
How could I harm such a pitiful little girl?
