Inside a factory on the western outskirts of Dafeng City, Zhan Yan was utterly astonished as she watched Ling Yi turn thousands of toys to ashes with a wave of his hand.
"This back-and-forth is too much trouble. Can the toy factory be moved to Red City City?" Ling Yi asked Zhan Yan.
"Sure, but it will take a little time."
"That would be troublesome!"
"Just remember what you promised me!" Zhan Yan was referring to the trip to the Underworld to pilot a Gundam.
"Rest assured!"
After Ling Yi finished speaking, he picked up a cage from the ground.
Inside are the three little mice that Ling Yi bought when he passed by a pet store before.
I don't know what breed of mouse it is; it's all white, chubby, and kind of cute.
Really, Little White!
Each Little White also had a tiny bell tied with a red string around its neck.
But when the Little White moved, it made a ringing sound, not very loud, but quite crisp.
This was a free gift from the pet store during a promotion; why not take it?
Ling Yi planned to use them for the first test of Teleport the Underworld.
Although Ling Yi knew there was no danger, it would be better to test it out just to be safe.
After all, the Underworld is where the dead live, and he needs to know if there will be any adverse reactions.
Even climbing high mountains can cause altitude sickness, let alone crossing the boundary between the Yin and Yang.
Ling Yi himself is protected by the Nether Domain Seal, and with his current physical attributes, he can be guaranteed to be safe. But what about the others?
"Are you planning to use Little White for testing?"
"Yes, I'll need your help later."
Ling Yi took out three round pieces, each about the size of a button and roughly the thickness of two one-yuan coins stacked together.
One side is red cesium, and the other side is black cesium.
This is what's called Teleport Disc; it costs 10,000 Merit to use.
When the red cesium is pressed onto a living being, it will Teleport them from the mortal realm to the Underworld.
Conversely, by pointing the black cesium side at living beings, one can Teleport back from the Underworld.
This raises two issues.
First, there's no such thing as usage permission for this thing; anyone who gets it can use it, not only for themselves but also for others.
The second problem is that this thing doesn't have Teleport coordinates marked, so Ling Yi doesn't know how to Location Teleport destination.
"Place the red cesium side of the coin against the Little White's forehead, and it will Teleport it to the Underworld. Remember, it must be the forehead!"
As for why it has to be the forehead, well, who knows? That's just how the Teleport Disc is designed.
This must be a security setting!
Otherwise, if it could be activated just by sticking it anywhere, wouldn't it Teleport to the Underworld with the slightest touch?
"I'll Teleport you to the Underworld first. Three minutes later, you Teleport the first Little White. Once that Little White returns safely, Teleport the second and third mice as well."
Ling Yi spoke, another Teleport Disc appeared in his hand.
"Hey, it's my first time going to the Underworld, and I'm actually a little nervous!"
Ling Yi said this, but without the slightest hesitation, he directly stuck the Teleport Disc to his forehead.
The next moment, Ling Yi's figure vanished completely.
At this moment, Ling Yi had already appeared in the city lord's mansion of City of Cangwu.
Ling Canghai, Bai Shitou, and Yan Yunfang were all somewhat surprised to see Ling Yi suddenly appear.
Bai Shitou and Yan Yunfang quickly assumed Combat stances; one raised his gun and aimed at Ling Yi, while the other instantly stepped in front of Ling Canghai.
Ling Yi then realized that although Bai Shitou and Yan Yunfang knew him, they had only heard his voice and had never seen him.
" Ling Yi, kid?" Ling Canghai was shocked.
"What, Ling Yi?" Bai Shitou and Yan Yunfang asked in unison.
"Grandpa, are you surprised? Are you taken aback?" Ling Yi said with a smile.
Ling Canghai appeared in front of Ling Yi in an instant, pinched Ling Yi's cheek, and patted Ling Yi's shoulder, his face full of disbelief.
How did you do that?
"I don't know, but I can suddenly come to the Underworld," Ling Yi said, shrugging.
Ling Yi didn't plan to talk about the digitization of the Nether Domain Seal. Now that Ling Yi was level 10, all the question marks and unknowns on his great-grandfather's data panel had disappeared.
My great-grandfather was quite the Old Liu in his family; his life story was incredibly fascinating, so I'd better keep it a secret.
He's not some villain; he has 220,000 Merit, which are righteous.
Strictly speaking, Ling Yi Ling Yi wasn't lying. He genuinely didn't know the underlying principles; it was all a function of the Nether Domain Seal.
You can use it as long as you have Merit.
"You little brat, still hiding things from me? Fine, I don't care if you have secrets, I'll just ask you three questions."
Ling Yi chuckled, "Grandpa, please ask!"
"Firstly, can people from the mortal realm be brought into the Underworld?"
As soon as the old man finished speaking, an information panel appeared in front of Ling Yi.
[Is it permissible for a mortal being like Little White to Enter the Underworld?][Yes/No]
[Please select Teleport method:]

[Is it Manifestation?][Yes][No]
The information interface was quite long, but the content wasn't much; Ling Yi glanced at it and finished reading it.
But there's a lot of potential information contained here.
The most important rule is that whoever uses the Teleport Disc must obtain your consent, which is excellent.
There's not much else to say; it's just information about the Little White and the pet bell.
The only difference is that the pet bell became the exclusive equipment for the Little White.
In other words, the personal items that the synchronized beings Manifestation to the Underworld are all exclusive equipment, unusable by others?
Upon seeing this setting, Ling Yi suddenly had some ideas.
Or rather, it's an idea I had before that resurfaced, and I need to go back and figure out how to implement it.
To be precise, is it even necessary to implement this idea?
With a thought, Ling Yi conjured a cute Little White in front of them.
Upon seeing this, Ling Canghai immediately knew the answer.
He laughed loudly and said, "Alright, the second question: could you take us, the dead, away from the Underworld?"
"Sure!" Ling Yi nodded. The [ Teleport ] function can not only Teleport living beings from the mortal realm to the Underworld, but also Teleport the dead from the Underworld to the mortal realm.
The method of using the Teleport Disc is the same.
However, the rules of the mortal realm and the Underworld are different.
Living beings can Teleport to the Underworld and interact perfectly with the spirits of the dead.
The reason Ling Canghai pinched Ling Yi 'Ling Yi face and patted his shoulder earlier was to test this point.
However, when the spirits of the dead reach the mortal realm, they become semi-transparent and cannot be touched.
Ling Yi didn't know what other Changes there were; testing was needed.
"One last question: is it possible to modify the undead class Authority?"
Ling Yi looked at Ling Canghai and asked, "Grandpa, you've been exposed! You said I was hiding things, but weren't you the same?"
"There are some things I can't say right now. Remember what I told you before? Everything you know is bound to have Karma. Enough talk, answer my question!"
"Cannot!"
"Not now?"
"How would I know? I'm completely confused right now!" Ling Yi shrugged.
"That's something we'll be able to do in the future!" Ling Canghai laughed again.
Yan Yunfang and Bai Shitou, who were standing nearby, were puzzled by Ling Canghai's laughter, but only Ling Yi understood what he was laughing about.
Alright, Grandpa's decided he wants me involved. Well, that seems pretty interesting!
" Ling Yi, does this Yin and Yang Teleport consume any resources?" Yan Yunfang asked at this moment.
Ling Yi looked at Yan Yunfang, unsure of how to address her. Calling her "Great-Grandma" seemed inappropriate.
It was just a joke before, but after all, he and Fu Qingyun haven't officially started dating yet; it's only been half a month, and their relationship isn't quite there yet.
"But once we're in the Underworld, our relationship will be different. You can call me 'sister' or just my name," Yan Yunfang said with a smile, noticing Ling Yi's awkwardness.
"This... isn't that inappropriate?"
"What's wrong with that? In this Reincarnation, Fu Qingyun is my junior, but in previous Reincarnation, he might have been my ancestor. If we were to categorize relationships like that, the Underworld would be in complete chaos."
Thinking about it, it really is true.
Ling Yi couldn't help but think of Bai Xiaoyao. If she regained her memories of past Reincarnation, wouldn't she be the ancestor of everyone?
Are you suggesting that Ling Yi should call Bai Xiaoyao" Ancestor"? Impossible.
"Then, shall I call her Sister Fang?"
"Okay, I'll call you 'sister'!" Yan Yunfang said with a smile.
Ling Yi steered the conversation back on track. "Sister Fang, who in the mortal realm do you wish to see?"
Yan Yunfang's face darkened, and she said through gritted teeth, "I want to see a scoundrel!"
Judging from this, they must have a grudge, and it seems quite serious.
"If possible, find this person and bring him to the Underworld," Ling Canghai said from the side.
Yan Yunfang was about to say something when Ling Canghai interrupted her, "We'll talk about these things later. We've received the weapons you sent earlier, tested them, and they're very effective."
Everything else must be put aside now; dealing with the monsters invading the Underworld is the key.
"I need to equip two more legions of ten thousand men each. You know, the invasion route to the north is still there, and we never know when monsters will invade."
"Moreover, the next monster invasion might not be just simple green-skinned monsters."
"This time, I plan to take Shitou to Vermilion Bird City. Fang Meizi will stay behind to keep an eye on the north, in case of any unusual activity."
"Young Ling, do you want to come with us to Vermilion Bird City?" Ling Canghai asked.
"You guys go about your business, I'm just here to see what it's like."
"Alright, then we'll leave you be. Now that the weapons are in place, let's get going. Liu Baicheng has called several times to urge us on; we can't delay any longer."
" Shitou, let's go!" Ling Canghai called to Bai Shitou and then left the city lord's mansion.
" Ling Yi, come on, I'll take you around City of Cangwu!" Yan Yunfang patted Ling Yi on the shoulder and said.
Just then, an information panel suddenly appeared in front of Ling Yi's eyes.
[Is it permissible for a mortal being like Zhan Yan (Fan) to Enter the Underworld?][Yes/No]
Ling Yi slapped his forehead. How could he have forgotten the important business he came to the Underworld for?
