I'm Afraid He'll Be Lonely

Outside the Great Ruins Star Wheel.

"It's Heavenly Darkness... time to collect your money."

"Little Heavenly Darkness... come here to collect your money."

Yunxi and Ziling are still calling back the soul.

The yellow paper was still burning, but even with the Phoenix True Fire constantly scorching it, it still hadn't turned to ashes.

Only a tiny area, about the size of a little fingernail, was still burning, emitting wisps of yellow smoke, but there was no sign of charring at all.

Does it really work?

Gui Qi was somewhat anxious. He looked at the Dark Ghost Lord in front of him and found that the Dark Ghost Lord remained expressionless.

Nothing has changed.

Yunxi also had some doubts, and she couldn't help but say:

"Could it be a mistake? By the way, does the Dark Ghost Lord have any other names? What if Heavenly Darkness is just his nickname? Then it probably won't be of any use..."

Upon hearing this, Gui Qi scratched his cheek, deep in thought. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead and said:

"I've got it! Lord Mingzhi once called the Ghost Lord... Mao Dan?"

As he spoke, a chill ran down his spine. What if the Ghost Lord found out that he had actually revealed such a thing...?

Will the Ghost Lord destroy himself?

Upon hearing this, Yunxi blinked her big eyes, seemingly finding it quite amazing.

Mao, Mao Dan??

She immediately pointed towards the burning yellow paper and said:

"Little Egg, come and collect your money..."

"Little Egg, come and collect your money..."

However, as soon as she spoke, the flame on the yellow paper suddenly went out.

Apart from a corner of the burning paper that was slightly yellowed and curled, it appeared completely undamaged.

"Oh no, the fire went out!"

"Has something gone wrong?"

Yunxi was surprised.

"No... Ghost Lord!"

At this moment, the starving ghost was greatly surprised and pointed in the direction where the Dark Ghost Lord was.

Everyone looked up and saw that wisps of yellow smoke were suddenly swirling around the Dark Ghost Lord.

When that wisp of yellow smoke appeared, it was as if everything in the sky was reversed, chaos was reopened, time and space changed drastically, and countless great Daos were annihilated and reborn!

In that instant, the endless Nether aura emanating from the Dark Ghost Lord rapidly disintegrated, as if it had never existed!

The overwhelming ferocity and violent killing intent... the turbulent distortion from just moments ago quickly returned to normal.

Then, the yellow smoke disappeared.

At that very moment, the Dark Ghost Lord suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes have regained their clarity!

"What... what's going on?!"

The Dark Ghost Lord murmured to himself, gazing blankly at the world around him.

"I got lost... I was tainted by the Nether aura, led by the crimson staircase to the Netherworld Blood River, and almost became a slave to the Blood Demon Ghost!"

"But... someone called out, and a wisp of yellow smoke saved me... and even suppressed that Blood Demon Ghost King from the Netherworld!"

He pondered, recalling the events that had just unfolded, and felt as if he were dreaming.

Crimson staircases, Blood Demon Ghost lord, Netherworld Blood River from the underworld...

And that mysterious, unpredictable yellow smoke.

This was beyond his comprehension.

"Ghost Lord!"

"Grown ups!"

At this moment, Gui Qi, the Hungry Ghost, and others rushed over.

"Ghost Lord... have you recovered?"

"Are you Ghost Lord Oni?"

The ghosts, including Gui Qi, looked at the Dark Ghost Lord with immense excitement.

Heavenly Darkness at the group of ghosts, Tian An's eyes were filled with a sense of relief and excitement at surviving a calamity. He said:

"I made a journey through the Netherworld, and a wisp of yellow smoke saved me; otherwise, I fear I would have become Nether Slave entirely..."

He spoke.

Upon hearing this, Gui Qi instantly realized what was happening, and he shouted:

"Ghost Lord, it was the Tooth Extraction Monster who saved you!"

With that, he turned around and knelt down in front of Ziling and Yunxi!

"Thank you so much, my benefactor!"

He shouted.

Instantly, all the hungry ghosts and other ghosts knelt down and cried out.

"Thank you so much, my benefactor!"

If their previous use of the word "benefactor" carried a hint of being forced into it, now it is out of genuine gratitude!

Gui Qi immediately transmitted his voice to inform the Dark Ghost Lord of everything that had just happened.

"Ghost Lord... the yellow smoke that saved you was most likely produced by the burning of the yellow paper belonging to the Tooth Extraction Monster and her ilk."

Gui Qi spoke, even he himself felt incredibly terrified.

That yellow paper was extremely powerful, requiring the Phoenix True Fire to ignite it, and even then, it was difficult to burn it completely.

But its power is terrifying.

A wisp of yellow smoke entered the netherworld, instantly suppressing everything!

The Dark Ghost Lord was also extremely shocked.

"I understand... everything, everything was arranged by that elder in the Small Mountain Village!"

He finally understood!

The one in the mountain village is an ancient powerhouse who can even suppress the Calamity Grey Mist. He is absolutely infallible. The four words "be a good ghost" were written by his disciple. How could there be any problems so easily?!

The only possibility is that the power of the phrase "be a good ghost" disappeared, which was probably a move he had planned all along. His purpose was to test himself and see if he was truly a good ghost and whether he could abide by his teachings!

Everything I've experienced has probably been under his watchful eye!

The reason I was able to return is because... I beat the game!

You passed the test!

At that moment, he suddenly felt incredibly fortunate, fortunate that he had chosen the right path!

If you choose to flee or retreat... then you will never survive.

He looked at Ziling and the others, and saw the yellow paper!

"Thank you so much, my benefactor!"

He immediately performed a deep bow.

Yunxi Ziling was also quite delighted at this moment.

"Little Egg, you're welcome, get up quickly."

Yunxi spoke with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Dark Ghost Lord was immediately bewildered.

He looked at Yunxi in disbelief.

Little, Little Egg??

No way!

Damn it, how did the Tooth Extraction Monster know my nickname?

Only Mingzhi, who became a ghost along with him, would know this.

The key point is, calling it "hairy egg" is one thing, but calling it "Little Egg" is another...

He himself was an invincible Ghost Lord, a proud and valiant man...

This is completely messed up!

He was absolutely... mortified!

However, he dared not show his reluctance, and could only grit his teeth and say, with a sense of grievance:

"Yes... my benefactor."

Behind him, Gui Qi retreated, somewhat frightened.

The group of ghosts all stood up.

"Big Brother... he's truly terrifying! Even the Netherworld is like an empty place before him..."

Xin Ning was deeply moved.

Infected by the Netherworld Origin and losing one's soul, it was a certain death.

"Master told us to bring yellow paper, and it really worked!"

Ziling spoke with a smile.

As she spoke, she looked at the Dark Ghost Lord and the others, and said:

"Hey... everyone line up properly, we need to get a tooth pulled!"

"Don't even think about running away, or you'll be annihilated!"

She hadn't forgotten her mission here.

Yunxi was also full of anticipation, and said:

"Great! So many ghosts, and all their teeth have grown back. Now that we've pulled them out, we can make chilled watermelon with them!"

Upon hearing this, the group of ghosts were immediately stunned.

At this moment, many of the ghosts were starting to lose their composure.

Getting a tooth pulled is one thing, everyone's prepared for that, but... but getting a ghost tooth pulled just to make chilled watermelon?!

That's going too far!

Upon hearing this, the Dark Ghost Lord was instantly enraged. His aura erupted, and with an unwavering determination, he shouted:

"Pull our teeth?"

"Everyone, tell me, is this even acceptable?!"

"Do we really need our benefactors to pull our teeth themselves? Is that even fair?"

"I, the Dark Ghost Lord, have the utmost contempt for lazy ghosts. Taking matters into my own hands has always been my Heavenly Darkness!"

He turned around, waved his hand, looked at the many ghosts, and said:

"Men, pull them out!"

"He cleaned himself out!"

As he spoke, he punched his own teeth, and a handful of shattered, jade-like ghost teeth fell to the ground.

"Both of you, please search our teeth!"

He respectfully presented the teeth to the front of the room.

Yunxi took the Ghost Fang and found that this time the Ghost Fang was of higher quality, resembling jade and extremely cool to the touch.

"Very good, Little Egg, keep up the good work with your teeth! The villagers are all waiting to eat chilled watermelon."

Yunxi encouraged her.

Upon hearing Heavenly Darkness, Tian An's composure faltered instantly.

The once-powerful Ghost Lord was being called "Little Egg"... He was truly driven mad!

Moreover, the implication behind his Tooth Extraction Monster is that he still has to support an entire village?

My life... isn't it just too miserable???

However, if he hadn't had the opportunity to become the ghost tooth supplier in the Small Mountain Village, he might not even be alive now, and would have truly become a pawn of the Star Annihilation Divine Monarch.

Having thought this through, he decided to go all out and immediately said:

"Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely try my best to clean my teeth!"

Then he suddenly added:

"Um, my benefactor, could you... could you write me another word?"

He looked at Ziling with longing, pointing to his forehead!

Ziling was momentarily stunned. This guy... is he being so proactive?

And at this moment.

On some cosmic floating land.

The Starfall God Lord had been waiting with great anticipation for a long time.

But at this moment, he had some doubts.

The surging death aura and boundless sea of blood had already been almost completely refined by the Dark Ghost Lord. Logically, the Dark Ghost Lord should have already transformed into Nether Slave, attacking madly and destroying everything...

Why is there no movement?

"Never mind... my ritual shall begin!"

He spoke in a deep voice, then immediately stood with his hands behind his back, took a step forward, and headed towards the Great Ruins Star Wheel!

Behind him, Ao Wushuang's expression was complicated. He knew that the ceremony had indeed begun, but damn it... it was probably a funeral ceremony!

Soon, the deity's figure had disappeared.

"My lords, I have a somewhat premature suggestion."

Ao Wushuang spoke weakly, saying:

"Why don't you come with my master and go together?"

"I... I'm quite afraid he'll be lonely."

Upon hearing this, many of the gods looked at him with confusion.

"???"
