355: Chapter 342 The King of Hell's "Little Scheme"

Having just completed the feat of "God-Kingdom Descent," the entire Thirty-Three Heavens looked brand new.

At this moment, Lin Feng was lying comfortably on a command chair carved from "Innate Spirit Jade" with an embedded fully automatic constant-temperature massage System.

In his hand, he was swirling a glass of ten-thousand-year-old nectar (with ice) specially supplied by the Queen Mother of the West from the Jade Pool, and in front of him was a huge holographic projection screen displaying real-time data on the various indicators of the God-Kingdom.

"God Lord, is this Phase II renovation plan for the 'Jade Pool Bath Center' a bit too avant-garde?"

Venus wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, pointed at the huge surfing bathtub, fully automatic scrubbing robots, and laser light show on the blueprint, and said cautiously, "If those old-fashioned female immortals see this, I'm afraid they will blush and come to report it to you."

"Avant-garde, what? This is called enjoying life, this is called consumption upgrading." Lin Feng didn't even lift his head, took a light sip of the nectar, "Immortals are people too, and they have seven emotions and six desires. Isn't it tiring to keep up appearances all day? Besides, what is the purpose of our Tiance Mansion? It is 'Happy Cultivation, Technological Ascension.' Approved, start construction immediately. Whoever dares to object, let them come find me for a heart-to-heart talk."

"Yes, yes, yes, God Lord is wise." Venus nodded repeatedly, but in his heart, he was muttering: Find you for a heart-to-heart? Who would dare? Even Kunpeng was talked into being a cripple by you.

Just then, the huge holographic screen in the center of the control hall that monitored the operation of the Three Realms suddenly flashed with blinding red light without warning.

Immediately after, a shrill and harsh mechanical alarm sounded throughout the hall, breaking the original peace.

"Beep! Warning! Warning!"

"The System has detected abnormal underlying data transmission!"

"The data stream of the Three Realms Reincarnation channel has broken! 'Netherworld' server connection timed out! Heartbeat packet lost!"

"Error Code: 404 Not Found — Cannot find the plane."

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, put down the nectar in his hand, and his originally lazy eyes instantly became sharp.

"What happened? Is the network down? Or did those ghost messengers in the Netherworld go on strike?"

"God Lord, it's not that the network is down, nor is it a strike."

Erlang Shen, who was responsible for monitoring data security, strode over. His silver armor shone brilliantly under the neon lights, and the Heavenly Eye in the center of his brow flickered with a chilling light. He pointed to a cliff-like falling curve on the screen and said in a deep voice: "It's the Netherworld. Someone has tampered with things. They have unilaterally cut off the synchronization interface with the Heavenly Court's 'book of life and death' cloud database and activated a physical shielding layer. Now, the souls of creatures dying in the mortal world cannot be properly guided, and data packets are all piling up in the cache area. The mortal world has already begun to see signs of the 'Hundred Ghosts Night Parade'."

"Oh?"

Lin Feng sat up straight, a playful and icy sneer curled at the corner of his mouth, and his fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, "Cut off the interface? Activated shielding? This is wanting to be independent. It seems that this chaos in the Three Realms has caused some rats in the gutter to develop thoughts they shouldn't have."

Location: Netherworld, Senluo Hall

It never sees the sun here, cold winds blow constantly, and ghost fires flicker. The air is filled with the smell of decay and sulfur, and the surrounding walls are covered with torture instruments still dripping with blood.

The usually dignified and solemn Senluo Hall was somewhat noisy at this moment.

The Ten Yama Kings gathered together, sitting around a huge round table polished from a single piece of obsidian. Although the atmosphere was gloomy, every Yama King had an expression of excitement called "slyness" on his face, as if they had just done something earth-shattering.

King Qin Guang, as the head of the Ten Yama Kings, was stroking his long beard, which was as black as ink, and looked around with pride: "Everyone, how is this move? The Heavenly Court is now in a mess, and although that kid Lin Feng is fierce, he must have been severely injured after fighting the Dao Ancestor head-on. Moreover, he is busy with the renovation of some 'God-Kingdom,' so where would he have time to manage our affairs in this gutter?"

"Big Brother is wise! It is truly brilliant!"

King Chujiang gave a thumbs up and let out a strange laugh like a night owl, "Although our Netherworld is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court and subject to the Jade Emperor's constraints, in reality, the power of life and death and Reincarnation, and the lifeline of billions of creatures, is still held in our hands. In the past, we were employees and had to look at the faces of those above. Now that we have cut off the connection, we are the local emperors in this underground! We can let whoever we want die, and let whoever we want live. That book of life and death is our private ledger!"

"Exactly!"

King Wuguan also slammed the table excitedly, "And I heard that Lin Feng is extremely overbearing. If we take the initiative to show favor, we will still have to hand over power. It would be better to declare independence now. We can even turn around and collect 'passage fees' and 'Reincarnation fees' from the Heavenly Court! Lin Feng wants to arrange for someone to be reincarnated? Sure, bring money!"

King Songdi was a little timid. He looked at the pitch-black rock wall above his head with some worry and hesitated: "But... that Lin Feng is the one who even dismantled the Lingxiao Palace, and even Kunpeng was blown away by his cannon. If we do this, will it anger him? What if he attacks?"

"What are you afraid of! Third Brother, you are just too timid!"

King Yama (Bao Heizi) slammed the gavel on the table with a "bang," shaking the bone wine cups on the table, "This is the Netherworld! This is the Netherworld! There is natural Netherworld Law suppression! When living people arrive here, their magic power will be reduced by 30%! And the Ghost Gate Pass has ancient Restrictions that are indestructible!"

Speaking of this, King Yama lowered his voice, looking mysterious, "More importantly, we still have that one sitting in town. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has made a great vow, and this Netherworld is his dojo. If Lin Feng dares to come hard, that is hitting the face of Buddhism! The Bodhisattva is a Quasi-Saint level great power, plus the Divine Beast Di Ting, if Lin Feng dares to come, we will make sure he never returns!"

"Right! Never return!"

The Yama Kings echoed one after another, the more they talked, the more they felt they were justified, and the more they felt they were awesome.

They even started to imagine how to rival that "Tiance Mansion" and even establish themselves as the "Netherworld Heavenly Court" after the Netherworld became completely independent.

Just as they were having their spring and autumn dreams, toasting each other in celebration.

"Boom—!!!"

A loud noise, as if the crust of the entire Netherworld shook violently.

This vibration came so violently that the dome of Senluo Hall cracked instantly, and rubble fell rustlingly. The wine glasses on the table were knocked over, and the scarlet wine spilled all over the floor, looking very much like fresh blood.

"What happened? An earthquake? Could it be that the evil ghosts in the eighteenth level of Hell rebelled?" King Qin Guang was startled, the wine glass in his hand was crushed, and two of his beard hairs were pulled off.

Before they could react, a little ghost stumbled into the main hall. His official hat had fallen off, one of his shoes was lost, and his face was full of extreme panic, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

"Report—!!!"

"My Lords! Not good! Something big is bad! The sky has fallen!"

"What's the matter? Why are you panicking, what kind of manners is this!" King Yama shouted angrily, pretending to be calm, "Could it be that the Divine Beast Di Ting, who hasn't bathed for thousands of years, has gone mad?"

"No... it's not that!"

The little ghost knelt on the ground, trembling, pointing in the direction of the Ghost Gate Pass, his teeth chattering, "It's from above... people have come from above! So many people! The sky is full of strange big iron ships, blocking the sky of the Ghost Gate Pass! They said... they said they are here to check the water meter!"

"Check the water meter?"

The Yama Kings looked at each other, completely confused. Where would there be a water meter in the underworld?

Before they could figure it out, a cold and mocking voice passed through layers of rock walls, crossed a distance of hundreds of miles, and exploded directly in Senluo Hall. This voice was like a thunderclap, carrying supreme coercion, shaking their eardrums and making their soul bodies unstable.

"Ten Yama Kings, what a great official authority."

"This Seat gave you face, letting you continue to manage this one-acre and three-fen land, but you don't seem to want it?"

"Since you don't want to connect to the network, then don't connect. Since you want to be independent, don't blame this Seat for being impolite. This Seat came down personally today to give you a 'physical formatting'! By the way, I'll help you clear the memory!"

Hearing this voice, King Yama, who had just been clamoring for "never return," turned pale as paper, with no blood on his face.

"It... it's Lin Feng! I've heard this voice! He really came! How could it be so fast?!"

King Qin Guang was so scared that he sat on the ground, his previous pride vanished, and his voice was trembling: "Quick! Go invite Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva! Quickly activate the 'Ten Thousand Ghost Soul-Devouring Array'! Must block him! Must not let him in!"
