Su Bai looked down at them, and their information surfaced in his mind.

Su Bai looked at these four figures, a faint smile playing on his lips.

The Ten Great Yin Marshals.

Ghost King, Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, Day Patrol Envoy, Night Patrol Envoy, Leopard Tail, Bird Beak, Fish Gills, Wasp.

With this, the collection was complete.

Standing at the world core, he looked down upon these ten figures.

The Ghost King floated at the very top, his golden vertical pupils looking down upon all living beings.

Black and White Impermanence stood side by side in front of Hall of Impermanence, one white and one black, one gentle and one fierce.

Ox-Head and Horse-Face...

The Ten Great Yin Marshals.

The skeleton of the Netherworld.

Looking at them, an indescribable emotion welled up in Su Bai's heart.

From having nothing to the gathering of the Ten Great Yin Marshals.

He had walked this path for a long time.

He had walked it for a full two weeks!

But it was worth it.

It was more than worth it.

He took a deep breath, his gaze falling on the remaining Power Of Faith.

7,311 points.

He prepared to continue building upwards.

Six Case Clerks.

Meng Po.

Zhong Kui.

City God.

But when he tried to operate, a prompt popped up.

[Unable to create: Six Case Clerks]

[Reason: Insufficient world rank. The Netherworld World must reach the Seventh-Order for the Six Case Clerks to be hosted.]

[Unable to create: Meng Po]

[Reason: Missing prerequisite building "Bridge of Helplessness"...]

Su Bai looked at the prompts and remained silent for a few seconds.

Seventh-Order.

Seventh-Order was required.

And prerequisite buildings were needed.

He frowned slightly.

Going from Sixth-Order to Seventh-Order was not an easy task.

It required devouring more worlds, accumulating more Power Of Faith, and promoting more units.

But at least he knew the direction now.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the remaining Power Of Faith.

7,311 points.

He was silent for a few seconds, then raised his hand again.

[Available Operation: Environmental Modification]

[Available Building Creation: Yellow Spring Road]

[Power Of Faith Consumption: 5,000 points]

[Description: A path connecting the Ghost Gate Pass and the Netherworld core, the mandatory path for souls. Once completed, it will have the following effects:

Effect 1: Soul Guidance—All souls entering the Netherworld will be automatically guided by the Yellow Spring Road toward the Netherworld core. On the Yellow Spring Road, souls will gradually forget their past lives and prepare for reincarnation.

Effect 2: Judgment of Good and Evil—A Platform of Good and Evil is set on the Yellow Spring Road. When souls pass by, the good and evil of their lives will automatically manifest. The good may pass, while the evil are punished.

Effect 3: Day and Night Patrol Blessing—The Day Patrol Envoy and Night Patrol Envoy can patrol freely on the Yellow Spring Road, monitoring all souls. On the Yellow Spring Road, all attributes of the Day Patrol Envoy and Night Patrol Envoy are increased by 50%.]

[Note: After building the Yellow Spring Road, the potential limit of the Day Patrol Envoy and Night Patrol Envoy will increase to Six-Star, and they will gain new skills.]

Su Bai looked at the note, a faint smile playing on his lips.

As expected.

He clicked confirm.

[Confirm Creation: Yellow Spring Road]

[Power Of Faith Consumption: 5,000 points]

[Remaining Power Of Faith: 2,311 points]

The entire Netherworld World began to tremble.

Starting from the Ghost Gate Pass, a grayish-white path slowly extended outward.

The path was about a hundred zhang wide, leading directly to the Netherworld core. The road surface was paved with a strange material, somewhere between reality and illusion, as if it could swallow all light. On both sides of the path was an endless void, where countless souls could be vaguely seen drifting, letting out shrill wails.

In the middle of the path, a high platform was established.

Platform of Good and Evil.

When souls pass by, the good and evil of their lives will automatically manifest. The good may pass, while the evil are punished.

The path's starting point: Ghost Gate Pass.

The path's ending point: the Netherworld core.

Yellow Spring Road.

The moment the Yellow Spring Road took shape, the bodies of the Day Patrol Envoy and Night Patrol Envoy shook simultaneously.

Their auras began to climb.

First-Order.

Second-Order.

Third-Order.

Third-Order Peak.

[Day Patrol Envoy Promotion: First-Order → Third-Order Peak]

[Night Patrol Envoy Promotion: First-Order → Third-Order Peak]

[Grade Promotion: Five-Star → Six-Star]

[New Skill: Day and Night Radiance (Twin Passive)—When the Day Patrol Envoy and Night Patrol Envoy patrol at the same time, all stealth effects of ghosts and spirits are nullified.]

The Day Patrol Envoy opened his eyes; those golden eyes were now deeper and more majestic.

The Night Patrol Envoy opened his eyes; those silver eyes were now more mysterious and profound.

They glanced at each other and then looked toward Su Bai.

The two figures knelt down together.

"Thank you, Master."

Su Bai looked at them and nodded in satisfaction.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the remaining Power Of Faith.

2,311 points.

Plus the ten million left from the money the Chu family gave him, he had originally planned to buy a world to devour, and now was the perfect time.

He exited the Netherworld World and opened his eyes.

On the operation terminal, those five Sixth-Order worlds were still quietly listed.

Su Bai did not hesitate and directly clicked on number 17009.
