The Hades Heavenly Ghost trembled. It had been about to leave but it could not take another step forward. It knelt with a thud and laid prostrate. It did not dare to move at all. The Edict of the God of the Underworld represented the God of the Underworld. The citizens of the Underworld would not dare to go against it.

Legends say that there are nine scrolls in the Edict of the God of the Underworld,
Mo Qingge said with difficulty as she looked at the Edict of the God of the Underworld.
Only a few are still in existence after billions of years. Even the supernatural beings and the undead in the Underworld desire to possess it. How did Jiang Yan get his hands on something like that?
She could not help but feel fear rising from within. The appearance of the edict was startling news to all the worlds out there. What did its appearance in the Source World mean?
The God of the Underworld was an extremely powerful existence in legends. He was the only high deity in the Underworld and had ruled the Underworld for many many years. He was considered a Divine Soul to all in the Underworld. Historical records showed that the God of the Underworld was one of the oldest existences. Yet, he had become a legend many years ago. He had become a legend that all the other worlds could only look up to.
In the Primeval Age, the God of the Underworld had once issued nine edicts. Each edict was a heavenly path and was to be adhered to. To those from the Underworld, the Edict of the God of the Underworld was the utmost highest existence.
Jiang Yan could not possibly possess something like that. Everyone knew that. Yet, if the edict did not belong to him, who did it belong to? Who was the person who had brought out the Edict of the God of the Underworld at this sacred rite?



Father!

Before the altar in the ancient city, the young master of the Ghost Lair knelt with a thud. Tears flowed down his face, and his eyes were filled with sadness and despair. He was Ghost King Jiang Yan’s biological son, the first young master of the Ghost Lair, and the most talented person in the younger generation. However, at this moment, his eyes were filled with despair because he knew that his father’s soul had been dispersed the moment he brought out the Edict of the God of the Underworld. His father would not have taken out the edict until the very last crucial moment before his death.

Why are you crying? Everything must be sacrificed for the sacred rite. The Edict of the God of the Underworld represents the God of the Underworld. It is my honor to be called by the God of the Underworld and I do not have any regrets should I die.

An illusionary figure slowly emerged from the black hole. The figure was very faint and it felt as if it might be dispersed by the slightest wind. However, the figure was in the middle of the black hole. One could vaguely make out Jiang Yan’s features. Jiang Yan was kneeling in prayer. His hands were raised up high, and the Edict of the God of the Underworld was suspended above his palms.

We must not allow him to complete the sacred rite!
Xiao Hongyu yelled. He flicked his fingers forcefully and an enormous force flowed through him. At the same time, the Huatian Palace projection shook forcefully and released an extremely powerful burst of energy that smashed at Jiang Yan.
Xiao Hongyu had attacked with all his strength and had activated the power of Huatian Palace. However, his attack had disappeared without a trace before reaching Jiang Yan. It was as if an invisible mouth had appeared in the air and swallowed his power.
Cough!
Xiao Hongyu shook violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His energy immediately weakened significantly. He had looked like an energetic middle-aged man a moment ago but seemed to have aged several decades in an instant. Wrinkles appeared on his face and most of his hair turned white. It was as if he had gone straight from middle-age to old-age.
In the skies above, the illusion of the Heaven Palace Hall that had taken up most of the space suddenly shattered and dispersed. The connection between Huatian Palace Projection and Heaven Palace had been broken and could not be restored. All of this had happened silently and without any warning at all.

Grand Palace Lord!




Grand Palace Lord, what’s the matter?

The elders of Huatian Palace were all shocked and flustered when they saw that Xiao Hongyu was injured. To them, the Grand Palace Lord was like an undefeatable God. How was it possible that he could be injured?

Grand Palace Lord, it is impossible to do anything now.
Mo Qingge shook her head.
The Edict of the God of the Underworld is the law of the heavens. Where it exists, it rules and controls all in the universe. Unless there are seniors who have understood the way of the Heavenly path, everything that we do would be futile,
she said softly.
She sighed. The Edict of the God of the Underworld was before them. No matter how hard they tried, it would all be futile.

Lord Heavenly Ghost, my cultivation level is low and even if I burn through my lifeforce to evoke the Edict of the God of the Underworld, I will not be able to hold on for too long. I cannot complete the sacred rite alone. Will you please help me? Jiang Yan ignored the warriors of Huatian Palace and looked at the Hades Heavenly Ghost. Even though the Edict of the God of the Underworld was before him and he could easily destroy everyone from Huatian Palace, the people from Huatian Palace were not even a fraction as important as the sacred rite.

What do you mean?
The Hades Heavenly Ghost looked at Jiang Yan in shock and anger.

I am your junior, Jiang Yan, and I can sacrifice my life for the greater good of the Underworld. Lord Heavenly Ghost, you are an elite from the Underworld and I think you will put the greater good of the Underworld before yourself, won’t you? The God of the Underworld is above us all and he wants us both to return to the folds of his arms.

Jiang Yan looked up at the Hades Heavenly Ghost. He did not care if it agreed or not. A dark chain had already wriggled out from the black hole and wrapped itself around the Hades Heavenly Ghost who was kneeling on the ground. Before the Edict of the God of the Underworld, even the Hades Heavenly Ghost could not retaliate.

You…
The Hades Heavenly Ghost looked at Jiang Yan in shock and fear. Its eyes were filled with fear and panic. The power of the Edict of the God of the Underworld had not just affected his doppelganger. It could possibly cause his soul in his actual body in the Underworld to be destroyed completely.
Jiang Yan had said it so casually, but in the end, they would both die. The Hades Heavenly Ghost was like the Ghost King, and it had never imagined that it would one day be called on by the Edict of the God of the Underworld to become a sacrifice.



Was this your plan right from the start? Dmn it! How dare that bstard Purple Cloud lie to me!
The Hades Heavenly Ghost finally understood that everything he knew was just a lie. It was just part of the plan and he had been tricked. It had been a sacrifice all along.
The altar and the hundreds of girls with special constitutions who were meant for sacrifice were all fake. Even Huatian Palace had been tricked. Jiang Yan could not complete the sacred rite even if he were to burn through his lifeforce to bring forth the Edict of the God of the Underworld. Would a few hundred girls with special constitutions be able to finish the job? That was impossible. As such, the altar had been a lie right from the start and he, the Hades Heavenly Ghost had been the true sacrifice.

Purple Cloud, that bstard! I will not let him off and we will battle to the death!
the Hades Heavenly Ghost roared madly. The person who had lured him here with the promise of a great reward had never meant well.

Lord Heavenly Ghost, I am a sacrifice, and so are you. Our sacrifices are badges of honor for the greater good of the Underworld. In the future, not far from now, our names will be recorded in the history books of the Underworld. Jiang Yan’s voice was filled with a fiery passion. He seemed like the most fervent believer. He waved his hand and the body of the Hades Heavenly Ghost flew into the air and into the black hole with him. Then, the body slowly melted and grew fainter as if it was being absorbed by the black hole.

No…
The Hades Heavenly Ghost’s eyes were filled with fear. It struggled incessantly but to no avail. It could sense that the sacrifice across worlds affected not just its doppelganger, but also its actual body far away in the Underworld. Its actual body would be sacrificed as well, and to it, that meant a complete death.
The power of the black hole was undeniable and any struggle was futile. Meanwhile, those from Huatian Palace could only watch on and were not able to do anything to stop it.

Tell me, what is this sacred rite for? I want to understand why I have died. It is impossible for that scoundrel Purple Cloud to have the Edict of the God of the Underworld. Someone else must be controlling this from behind the scenes.
In the last moments before its death, the Hades Heavenly Ghost calmed down. It wanted to know why it had to sacrifice its life.

I do not know, but I know that the great Emperor Wu You is about to arrive.
Jiang Yan’s gaze grew even more fervent when he mentioned the Emperor of Wu You. The fiery passion in his eyes reached a peak. It was as if he was not speaking of a person but of a god.

Emperor Wu You!
The Hades Heavenly Ghost was startled and understanding flashed through its eyes. It laughed bitterly and said,
So that’s it. No wonder, no wonder…Since the Emperor has told me to die, then I have no choice but to do so.
With that, the Hades Heavenly Ghost stopped struggling and melted completely into the black hole.
Everyone from Huatian Palace looked at each other. The sacrifice of the Hades Heavenly Ghost, who was equivalent to the Ghost Emperor, was necessary for a sacrificial ritual. Their expressions all grew grave. The problem was becoming more and more serious.



What are we to do? Do we immediately send word to the Spirit Realm?
Mo Qingge’s expression was grave as she spoke. The appearance of the Edict of the God of the Underworld was definitely big news. Furthermore, the incident involved the mysterious emperor of the Underworld, Emperor Wu You!

The Huatian Palace Projection and its connection to the Heaven Palace Hall has been cut by the Edict. We cannot send any news back.
Xiao Hongyu shook his head. The Edict of the God of the Underworld meant that it would be extremely difficult for them to escape from the cleft space.
Mo Wen laughed bitterly to himself. He had not expected that he would encounter such a major incident during a mission that he had joined in without thinking.

That’s not enough.
Jiang Yan’s eyes shone after the Hades Heavenly Ghost was absorbed. Then, he slowly turned towards the altar. On the ninth level of the altar was a girl who had been imprisoned. Jiang Yan waved his hand and the girl, who was imprisoned in a ball of green light, flew toward into his hands. It was none other than Xu Qianqian.

Soul of the Ghost Mother, I pledge to you the Edict of the God of the Underworld and numerous souls. I hope that you can construct a path between both worlds with your power and complete the final sacred rite.

Jiang Yan looked at Xu Qianqian who was in a deep sleep. His expression grew graver and more somber. He clapped, and Xu Qianqian’s body immediately shattered into nothingness. However, something odd immediately happened. Xu Qianqian, whose body had been shattered, immediately formed a new body. Or perhaps, one should say that her soul was the same as a regular person’s body.

The Soul of Ghost Mother! A girl like that was actually found in the Source World. How is that possible?
Xiao Hongyu yelled in surprise.
