Chapter 68: The Book of Life and Death

  This is the will of heaven and earth that maintains the operation of hell, attracted by Pan Hao's powerful divine breath, and descended again.

  "Boom!" The vast and mighty will of Bo Da filled the entire sky, making Pan Hao's divine power suddenly seem insignificant. Pan Hao's mind shook as he felt the immense power and majesty of the heavens' will. The two County City God positions guarding his body burst out, transforming into two sacred and noble red suns that slowly rose up.

  The will of heaven and earth suddenly paused, sensing the aura of the Cheng Huang god's position.

  "The imperial court governs the yang, the city god governs the yin. The yin administration has been established, and the earth prison should be released." Pan Hao's voice was like a great bronze bell, stern and majestic, echoing throughout the sky and earth.

  "Boom!" The will of heaven and earth shook violently, the momentum that was about to expel Pan Hao from the underworld suddenly dissipated. A golden light shone down, landing beside Pan Hao. It transformed into a golden sun, radiating brilliant light.

  "Huh?" Pan Hao's eyes narrowed, his gaze falling on Jinyang, only to see that it was a book. Pan Hao stretched out his large hand and picked up the book. With a "whoosh" sound, the book transformed into golden light and entered Pan Hao's soul. At the same time, the book automatically turned to a page, and a piece of information was transmitted into Pan Hao's mind.

  "Book of Life and Death!" Pan Hao's mind was shocked, with the establishment of the Netherworld and the planning of the underworld, the Heavenly Way actually bestowed such a divine treasure.

  "No wonder! So that's how it is!" Suddenly, Pan Hao furrowed his brow, then relaxed. It turned out that this Book of Life and Death could only be used to inquire about and manage the people within Pan Hao's domain. In other words, at present, Pan Hao could only inquire about and manage the ordinary people in Rong Prefecture and Qingyu Prefecture. Beyond his jurisdiction, it was impossible to query.

  Pan Hao no longer paid attention to the Book of Life and Death, his eyes gazing down at the desolate land of the underworld. Suddenly, Pan Hao's expression changed to one of joy. It turned out that the divine throne of Rong Prefecture had finally solidified. The moment the divine throne of Rong Prefecture solidified, Zhang Cheng and Wang Hui, who were far away in the mortal realm, felt a sudden shock as their own divine thrones transformed from virtual to real. Various divine paths and techniques flowed through their minds, and both men rejoiced, standing up and bowing towards the direction of the City God Temple of Rong Prefecture: "Congratulations to the City God for officially ascending to the divine throne!"

  "Hmm!" Pan Haowei's stern voice suddenly appeared in their ears, and then disappeared. The two of them sat down slowly, continuing to handle their affairs.

  "Just right!" Pan Hao laughed loudly. The divine power accumulated in the divine position of Yongjun poured into Pan Hao's body, and his divine soul became stronger and more vigorous. A faint yellow light slowly took shape at the center of the deep red divine light.

  "Boom!" Pan Hao's divine soul shook, a strong and noble aura burst out of his body, a faint yellow light filled with nobility and divinity steadily formed, instantly Pan Hao's divine soul light turned into red with a hint of yellow. The aura of the Divine Path grew even more powerful.

  "Hiss!" The two County City Guardian Deities returned into Pan Hao's body.

  "Open!" Pan Hao shouted loudly, and his divine power surged down, bursting open a place in the underworld, sweeping away the dark winds and dead air around him.

  "Rise!" Pan Hao's voice was like a thunderclap on dry land, and the rolling thunder exploded in this space. The rumbling sound shook the air, and Pan Hao's divine power seemed to be used without restraint. Ancient buildings rose from the ground one after another, and in the blink of an eye, a city with a circumference of several miles appeared. On the gate of the city, there were ancient seals that read "Difu" (Earth Prison).

  These two ancient temples are majestic and grand, with a solemn and stern atmosphere. They emit a strong divine aura. In the middle of the city, a magnificent and grand hall stands tall, with a plaque on the gate that reads "Yanluo Temple". The three large characters exude an air of order, majesty, and awe-inspiring power.

  A huge pale red divine light shield appeared, wrapping the entire underworld inside. Blocking the yin wind of the netherworld outside, preventing ghosts from being blown away by the yin wind and their souls scattering.

  Pan Haoshen's divine soul stood in the void, nodding slightly in satisfaction. This way, the Yang realm and Yin division of the underworld could formally connect and operate. The divine light shield did consume some divine energy, but once ghosts inhabited it, they would naturally receive the support of their thoughts, reducing the expenditure of divine energy.

  At this time, the city god's position in each county was greatly shaken, and a spatial crack suddenly opened between the yin and yang realms. The eyes of the city gods shone brightly, and they instantly understood what was happening.

  "The civil and martial judges, bring forth the multitude of ghosts lingering in the underworld!" The local city god summoned the judges standing beside him to say.

  A moment later, a group of city guards brought in thousands of followers and some special ghosts, who entered the space crack one after another.

  "Behold, the County City Guardians!" Nineteen county city guardians appeared in mid-air, bowing their hands to pay respects to Pan Hao.

  "City God, the followers you requested have been brought, and some ghosts with great blessings and merits in their previous lives have also been detained." A tall and upright City God stepped forward to report to Pan Haowen.

  "Hmm!" Pan Hao murmured, his eyes gazing down at the crowd of ghosts wrapped in divine light, among whom many threads of faith connected to himself, and there were also many people surrounded by merits, with bright and shining eyes full of blessings.

  Pan Haodai waved his hand, and the divine position of Yongjun was shaken. More than a dozen red and yellow divine powers shot out, falling on the heads of several blessed people and several believers, transforming into the city god's position.

  A dozen ghosts transformed into dignitaries wearing majestic official robes, becoming the guardians of Yongning City.

  "Met the City God!" Except for Zhang Cheng, who had already taken office as the County City God of Yong Prefecture, the other 17 newly appointed city gods lined up to pay their respects to Pan Hao.

  "Hmm! You have great merits in your past life, and after death, you will become a god. I hope to bring blessings to both the human and ghost worlds!" Pan Hao said sternly. These ghosts were all those who had been tested by the city gods of various places and passed the examination, plus his own audit. Now that the position of the county god of Yongjiang is vacant, it's just right to fill it up.

  "We obey the teachings of the City God!" The crowd of City Gods responded in unison, their voices like thunder.

  "Also, Yang Shan, you will return and relinquish your duties as the City God, and take charge of managing the underworld." Pan Hao turned around and said sternly.

  "Yes, Lord Chenghuang!" A man with a square face and an air of majesty stood up with joy, responding respectfully. Yang Shankuo knew that this meant Lord Chenghuang valued him highly!

  "Uh, you first deal with the miscellaneous matters in Shahe County and come to take office within a day! This is the projection of the Book of Life and Death, which can query the data of ordinary people within the jurisdiction of the two counties." Pan Hao's right hand flicked, and a golden light fell into Yang Shan's soul.

  "Yes, sir!" Yang Shan responded with a bow again.

  "Besides, the Yang realm has already undergone a great change. Everyone should return to their respective places and prepare for the handover of the land's affairs!" Pan Hao waved his sleeve, indicating that everyone could disperse.

  "Yes, sir!" The crowd of onlookers couldn't help but recall the scene of dark energy spreading out earlier today, and their hearts tightened involuntarily. Nevertheless, they responded in unison. Afterwards, one by one, they turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

  There are still thousands of followers left in the underworld, led by a dozen or so ghostly officials, who have taken up residence in the underworld.

  Pan Hao saw that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, and he couldn't help but nod his head. However, as soon as he thought of the sudden appearance of black air today, Pan Hao's eyebrows furrowed: "It seems that even the qi circulation in various places is fluctuating, what exactly happened?"
