736: The new world god, the god of the underworld

“Si Ming…”

Hearing the four words “Fate Controlling Evil Emperor”, Zhang Lingxiao’s body trembled, and he didn’t dare to look at Qin Yang.

This was not a good title… especially for the Human Emperor.

After all, he had thrown himself into the game back then, destroying worlds, all to cut off the possibility of Qin Yang’s arrival.

“Kill all Professionals, and there’s no need to worry about the Human Emperor’s arrival.”

“If the Human Emperor doesn’t arrive, he naturally won’t return to his position.”

“If the Human Emperor doesn’t return to his position, the Immortals and Gods won’t destroy the Myriad Realms…”

“I want to ask, what exactly is your thought process?”

Qin Yang smiled and shook his head, his gaze at Zhang Lingxiao unreadable.

Zhang Lingxiao said with a bitter smile, “This humble Daoist was young and ignorant then, and made a grave mistake. I beg Your Majesty to punish me.”

“You should be punished. You’ve killed too many people.”

Qin Yang nodded and said, “I will punish you by casting you into Hell to take charge of Reincarnation.”

“This… isn’t this a reward?”

Zhang Lingxiao’s heart surged.

He just wanted to play a cheerful tune for himself.

As a Mystic Professionnal,

his highest ideal was to attain Dao and achieve Immortal Ascension.

The Human Emperor letting him take charge of Reincarnation, wasn’t that taking charge of Divine Authority, ascending from a Mortal to a God?

And in these Myriad Realms, Gods and Immortals had no essential difference.

This… this was the benefit of following the right leader!

Even the process of attaining Dao was skipped; he directly entered the system!

“No, I should have attained Dao.”

“The Human Emperor is the Dao of the Myriad Realms.”

Zhang Lingxiao sighed in his heart, then bowed deeply to Qin Yang.

“Your subject, Zhang Lingxiao, is willing to guard the Underworld for the Human Emperor and control the Six Paths!”

Qin Yang nodded in satisfaction.

He pondered for a moment and said, “From today onwards, your divine title shall be Si Ming.”

With that, he raised a hand and pointed, and a cluster of blue flames appeared between his fingers.

As Qin Yang’s finger touched Zhang Lingxiao’s glabella, the Hell Path transformed into Divine Authority, etched into Zhang Lingxiao’s Soul.

Immediately, a prompt appeared before Zhang Lingxiao’s eyes.

【The Taixu Human Emperor has bestowed upon you the Divine Authority of Hell.】

【You have become a God who controls life and death Reincarnation and governs the deceased Souls of the world.】

【Within the world ruled by the Human Emperor, all Undead Professionals are your believers.】

【Your conceptual principle is: Death and Reincarnation.】

【You will judge the good and evil of all Souls and set their path of Reincarnation.】

… As the prompt appeared, Zhang Lingxiao’s body erupted in fiercely burning three-colored flames.

Those were precisely the powers most familiar to Undead Professionals.

Blue, the Flame of Azure Nether.

Green, the Flame of Decay.

Black, the Flame of Finality.

The appearance of the three-colored flames meant that Zhang Lingxiao now possessed the Divine Authority to control death, becoming the “father” of Undead Professionals.

“What an annoying feeling…”

In the sky, Elebella, extremely sensitive to Undead power, furrowed her delicate brows.

She sensed that the Undead power, which was suppressed by Holy Light, was expanding at an unprecedented rate.

It seemed… the Human Emperor had created a “natural enemy” for her.

At this moment, Akatosh, the Head of the Gods, who was nearby, chuckled, “It seems we have a new colleague.”

“Yes, and this colleague’s business conflicts with mine.”

Elebella said with a bitter smile.

Her Holy Light power and death power were extremely incompatible.

Logically, she should now activate her Dawn Goddess form and descend to eliminate Zhang Lingxiao.

But… this God of Death was enfeoffed by Qin Yang.

“This guy is really favored,” Elebella muttered softly.

And indeed.

Zhang Lingxiao’s treatment was simply too good.

For him, Qin Yang even went to Hell, and after returning, directly enfeoffed him as a God… Is this… the friendship between men?

Qin Yang seemed to treat him better than his own consorts.

Elebella couldn’t help but compare herself to Zhang Lingxiao in her heart.

But thinking that Qin Yang had also gone to the Land Where Gods Fall for her, her mind found balance.

And at this moment, a new divine throne slowly emerged in the array of the seven main Gods.

The divine throne was crafted from dark green giant stones, with cold, pitch-black iron chains wrapped around it, pulling the Dharma rings symbolizing the Six Paths.

Beneath the foundation of the divine throne were bone-white skeletons burning with the three flames of death, making the entire throne appear exceptionally sinister.

Such a divine throne, arranged next to the divine thrones of Time, Holy Light, and Nature, looked very out of place and extremely conspicuous, immediately attracting everyone’s attention.

They had just been wondering why three-colored flames, symbolizing death, were burning on Zhang Lingxiao’s body, and the next second, they saw that sinister divine throne in the sky.

Before everyone could observe it closely, a figure appeared on that divine throne.

“Zhang Lingxiao!!!???”

“No way!”

“This guy really became a God!!!”

In the square before the hall, Si Zhenfeng, Qiu Yan, Zhan Tianxiong, and Han Chen all exclaimed simultaneously.

The four of them had just been discussing it.

The Human Emperor said he wanted to enfeoff Zhang Lingxiao as the Dominator of the Underworld.

But what kind of official position was this Dominator of the Underworld?

Was it specifically in charge of funerals?

This was indeed possible.

Zhang Lingxiao was originally a Mystic Professionnal.

And funerals in Shenzhou had always been handled by Mystic Professionals.

Zhang Lingxiao was already the Imperial Advisor, so enfeoffing him with this position was quite reasonable, it was just… a bit small.

However, besides managing all funerals under Heaven, the four Sages couldn’t think of any other official position that could be called the “Dominator of the Underworld.”

After all, if the meaning of these four characters were any higher, it would be a God who controls death.

But with Zhang Lingxiao’s moral character, which involved deceiving Gods and ghosts and swindling people without batting an eye, calling him a “Sage” was already a stretch, so how could he possibly become a God?

Just as the four Sages were muttering, the answer was revealed.

“Damn, I’m so jealous…”

“This damn piece of shit!”

“He… he really became a God!!!”

Seeing Zhang Lingxiao seated on the Underworld Divine Throne, the four Sages—Si, Qiu, Zhan, and Han—were so envious their faces were completely distorted… [Retired Emperors: Another chapter might be released early in the morning, maybe… The house is being renovated recently, and the Imperial Son has been conscripted.
