The Underworld, Fengdu Ghost City, by the banks of the Forgetfulness River.
According to the rules set by Emperor Fengdu, even Granny Meng has her rest time.
Whenever the rapid currents of the Forgetfulness River and the congestion of the Nether River occur, the pathway to the Bridge of Helplessness will temporarily close to ensure the safety of the souls.
This is often the rare leisure time for Granny Meng.
To be honest, with the intensity of Granny Meng’s work, ordinary Yin Spirits might not even be able to endure it.
Granny Meng, being transformed by Wu Yao, possesses the patience and perseverance to brew the "Awakening Soup" for ordinary souls, and then send them into reincarnation.
It is precisely because of Granny Meng’s actions that she holds high esteem in Fengdu Ghost City.
As long as it doesn’t touch upon principles, even Emperor Fengdu is willing to give her leeway.
This naturally includes the Book of Life and Death which should be in the control of Yama and the Judges.
Although Yama has not yet returned to his position, and the Judges are still being selected.
Yet the Book of Life and Death is gradually taking shape with the establishment of the Earth Soul system.
"Is this the ’Ghost God Scroll’ of the Book of Life and Death?"
As she gently flips through the pages in her hand, Granny Meng’s expression is somewhat peculiar.
This scroll bears no resemblance at all to ordinary books.
Even the words "Book of Life and Death" on the cover are drawn with Proverb Talismans.
The entire cover of the book is made from a material that seems like gold yet isn’t, like jade yet isn’t.
The pages inside are the materialization of Yin Qi and Nether Qi, constantly changing and flowing as if they are alive.
Granny Meng can feel that each name it carries holds immense power.
If she were to tear out a page recording the name of a Ghost God, she could even use it to command the corresponding Ghost God.
However, rather than this method of controlling spirits and commanding ghosts, Granny Meng is more amazed by the capabilities of this Book of Life and Death.
As a former Celestial Witch, Granny Meng instantly recognizes that this Book of Life and Death is crafted through the Celestial Destiny Divine Power into a special talisman entity.
The typical Book of Life and Death can connect to the Earth Soul system, thereby knowing the life and death and lifespan of living beings.
However, naturally born gods are not within this system.
Especially those same-dead Ghost Gods, who incarnate through Yin Qi and Evil Qi, aren’t under the control of Emperor Fengdu.
In past practices of the Underworld, Oxhead and Horseface would be sent to seize them, then thrown into the Nine Prisons and Nine Springs, to cleanse them of Yin Qi and Evil Qi.
But this requires tremendous strength from the Yin Spirits.
If they’re not cautious, it can backfire, even causing their death at the hands of the Ghost Gods.
Thus, to prevent this situation under his rule.
Emperor Fengdu utilized the power of the Earth Soul system to forge this Book of Life and Death specifically for Ghost Gods.
From Granny Meng’s perspective, the Ghost God Scroll belongs to the Book of Life and Death in name only, fundamentally different from the conventional Book of Life and Death.
——Manifesting his supreme Divine Format into physical form and bestowing it upon his Yin Spirits.
This is the essence of the Ghost God Scroll, and a significant reason Emperor Fengdu can en masse appoint Yin Spirits and grant them Divine Power.
Granny Meng, Yama, Black and White Impermanence, Oxhead and Horseface, Yin Department Ghost Messengers...
These so-called "Divine Offices" are actually the power divided from Emperor Fengdu himself.
Any Ghost God whose name is on the Ghost God Scroll can use Emperor Fengdu’s power according to their corresponding Divine Office.
Theoretically, even if the Yin Spirits are unfortunate in the execution of their tasks.
They can later reunite their Divine Soul with the Earth Soul system and be reborn in the Underworld.
Most importantly, Emperor Fengdu, in his habitual benevolence, doesn’t force the Yin Spirits to accept his power.
To the first generation of Yin Department Ghost Messengers, Emperor Fengdu’s appointments appeared more like an additional authority.
Only those Ghost Gods forcibly contained within the Book of Life and Death will Emperor Fengdu use the Ghost God Scroll to impose constraints upon them.
"Celestial Destiny Divine Power can be used like this? It’s quite an eye-opener!"
As Granny Meng continues to flip through the Ghost God Scroll, she sees more names of Ghost Gods.
These Ghost Gods weren’t Yin Spirits personally appointed by Emperor Fengdu, but Ghost Gods forcibly restrained.
Their bodies, depending on their attributes, are suppressed in the Nine Prisons and Nine Springs.
Among them, those as powerful as Celestial Gods are personally suppressed by Emperor Fengdu, sealed within the Six Celestial Ghost Gods Palace, becoming one of the power sources of Fengdu Ghost City.
Granny Meng knows the next step for that Emperor Fengdu is to select suitable roles from these Ghost Gods to fill the current job vacancies in Fengdu Ghost City.
Of course, these Ghost Gods don’t receive any special treatment.
To put it bluntly, they are performing meritorious service as atonement, and being able to move freely is already Emperor Fengdu’s blessing.
Once Fengdu’s spirits grow in number, Emperor Fengdu will undoubtedly select spirits with more suitable personalities to replace these Ghost Gods as the most basic ghost messengers in the Underworld.
Regardless of the Ghost Gods’ innate power, Emperor Fengdu doesn’t need to concern himself, thanks to the Ghost God Scroll.
"Does this thing work for you?"
Casually playing with the Eight Trigrams Compass, Ye Ming rarely glances up at Granny Meng.
This Book of Life and Death was sent over by Ye Ming at Emperor Fengdu’s personal request, so she’s very curious what Granny Meng intends to do with it.
"I can’t use this Ghost God Scroll, but someone can."
The present Granny Meng, a being resurrected from death, has long since lost any obsession or ambition.
Only to see her gently closing the Ghost God Scroll, another book vaguely similar appeared in her hand.
"Who needs it?"
At this moment, Celestial Erosion Monarch, attempting to showcase culinary skills, takes a glance at the two.
In Celestial Erosion Monarch’s hands, the spatula flips with extraordinary flair, unknown observers might think he is performing acrobatics!
"It’s Xiluo, she needs the names of these Ghost Gods now."
Hearing this, Celestial Erosion Monarch pauses, then unreservedly rolls his eyes.
"I knew it, the only thing that could make both of you worry must be that silly cat."
"If you ask me, isn’t Emperor Fengdu just the incarnation of Li Boyang?"
"If he truly wants to give that Ghost God Scroll to the silly cat, why bother with all the roundabout ways?"
With a slight shrug, Granny Meng lightly chuckles calmly.
"I don’t know what kind of person Li Boyang is..."
"But Xiluo’s character, that I do know!"
"Competitive and sensitive, it’s likely she hasn’t told Li Boyang what she intends to do."
"To accommodate her feelings, it’s fine to take a roundabout route!"
Saying that, Granny Meng walks over to Celestial Erosion Monarch, sits beside him, and hands over the copied Ghost God Scroll.
"Looks like I’ll trouble you once more."
"When you return, remember to give this ’Earth Book’ to Xiluo."
