...At first, Bai Zhi had thought this world was rather unyielding.
Whether faced with recruitment from the [System] or temptation from the [Main God], it had remained remarkably steadfast in its convictions.
But Mu Mu had exposed the truth with a single remark.
...Unyielding?
It had been crushed beneath [Nirvana Hell] the whole time, unable to wake up. How could it not be unyielding?
By now, with the Temporary Underworld's continued development within this world, the world had formed a fairly complete underworld system. The number of ghost messengers officially registered had already surged to several million.
Although several million ghost messengers still seemed somewhat inadequate for managing an entire world's underworld system, it was barely enough. However, with the day of [Nirvana Hell]'s revival drawing nearer, Bai Zhi had no choice but to start considering this world's future.
As the saying went, when a person died, their lamp went out. Generally speaking, after ordinary people died, their souls would vanish within a short period of time—born from Origin, extinguished by Origin.
For the vast majority of worlds, this was the rule.
Of course, there were exceptions, such as Elysium in the [Buddha Kingdom], Valhalla in the [Divine Realm], or God's [Heaven]. All of them could break this rule.
This world, meanwhile, had only gained the soil for ghost messengers to be born and survive because of the existence of [Nirvana Hell].
Once he reclaimed [Nirvana Hell], the underworld order this world had painstakingly established would collapse in an instant. In that case, his plan to construct the Yin Emperor Professional Core would come to nothing.
Even setting aside this world, he had to find a way to solve this problem for his own sake.
For that reason, Bai Zhi had specifically returned to the Underworld.
"This... isn't entirely impossible."
