Inside the Imperial Palace.

When Su Ziyu saw the entourage this time, his expression paused for a moment, then he looked up at Yama in front of him and asked, "Does she need to come along as well?"

Beside him was a little girl staring at him angrily, as if believing Su Ziyu's tone suggested she was a burden; she couldn't help but clench her small, white fists and wave them, saying, "Hey! Don't underestimate me! I'm very powerful!"

The Yama before him stood up from the throne, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes."

"This journey requires taking the Moon Princess with you. Please ensure her safety."

Su Ziyu said reluctantly, "Alright then."

"I'll do my best to take care of her."

Having said this, he gave the Nine Lives Cat beside him a look, signaling her to protect the Moon Princess closely without a moment's separation. The little girl looked to be only six or seven years old, and Su Ziyu truly didn't think such a dangerous mission should include her.

On the Yellow Springs Road.

The Netherworld of Fusang is quite different from that of Central Earth. The Ghost Capital is the core area of the Underworld, but reincarnation still requires traveling along the Yellow Springs Road. In Fusang, the souls of ordinary people are directly taken to the Ghost Capital before being sent on the Yellow Springs Road. Before Buddhism was introduced to Fusang, there was no concept of reincarnation; after death, one could only become a ghost, temporarily residing in the Netherworld until their yin life was exhausted. Reincarnation concepts appeared after Buddhism arrived in Fusang, and Yama emerged at that time as well. As for the true identity of this Yama, Su Ziyu wasn't sure, but it could be confirmed that a powerful native of Fusang had taken over Yama's duties.

Around them was a gray, hazy mist.

The rugged road beneath Su Ziyu's feet was the legendary Yellow Springs Road.

In the scan of the Space-Time Monitor System, this was a unique half-plane isolated from the Underworld, a domain called 'Yellow Springs'. Yellow Springs has a channel directly connecting to the Ghost Capital, where souls are passed through for reincarnation.

"Further ahead is the Sanzu River!" Phoenix Fire stopped and said.

At this time, there was no concept of Meng Po in Fusang, but there was a way to erase memories for souls reincarnating, which was to simply throw them into the River of Oblivion for a soak.

Simple and crude.

But very effective.

Because Fusang didn't have a large population at the time, not many souls were seen on the Yellow Springs Road, just some wandering ghosts that Phoenix Fire casually burned away. At the end of the Yellow Springs Road was a special dock, and upon approaching it, Su Ziyu saw a bizarre statue with six hands. Phoenix Fire turned and came before the little girl, slightly bowing and saying, "Moon Princess. Sorry to trouble you."

"Yes." The little girl nodded with a small, stern face, then walked towards the bizarre statue, raised a finger and pointed, "Command!"

Boom!

The River of Oblivion in front suddenly surged and boiled, and from the churning waters emerged a ship entirely constructed from bones and ebony.

Little ghost fires appeared.

With faint wailing sounds, at the prow of the ship, a mass of bones gathered, forming a humanoid figure over three meters tall. Its silhouette was shrouded in shadow, and it retrieved a long black oar from the ship.

"Let's get on," the Moon Princess's voice came.

—"River of Oblivion (Nether River)!"

—"Nether River Ferryman [Demigod] [Earth-bound Spirit]!"

The Nether River Ferryman exuded a ghostly aura, and it was unknown what kind of existence it was in life.

The reason Yama wanted the Moon Princess to come was that only she could command this ferryman. Normally, the Black and White Ghost Emissaries would end their task by delivering souls to the River of Oblivion. This Nether River Ferryman would periodically collect souls from the River of Oblivion and throw them all into the Reincarnation Well.

Su Ziyu looked around with great curiosity.

Everything he saw resembled the legendary Underworld of Central Earth, even the names were the same. In the distance, a stone stele was engraved with the inscription 'Sanzu River' in Chinese characters.

"It didn't used to be like this."

The Moon Princess raised her little face to glance at Su Ziyu, then slowly said, "My sister spent many years transforming Yellow Springs into the Netherworld."

"This River of Oblivion was also drawn out by her from the depths of the Underworld."

Can planes be transformed?

Su Ziyu thought to himself, speaking softly, "This looks very similar to the Underworld of Central Earth."

"It was originally arranged based on that," the Moon Princess stood at the prow and looked at the River of Oblivion below, turning her head she said, "My sister didn't hesitate to use her Divine Power to open this River of Oblivion so souls wouldn't drift aimlessly, allowing mortals to reincarnate."

"If not for that, she wouldn't have been easily ambushed by the Nine-tailed Fox."

Speaking of this, the Moon Princess pointed a little finger at the distance and said softly, "Look over there. A Naihe Bridge was supposed to be built there."

"But since Fusang has no Meng Po, it was abandoned later."

"Do you see those flowers?"

"I planted all of them! Aren't they beautiful? All of them are Other Shore Flowers!"

Su Ziyu turned his head to look, and soon a vast sea of flowers appeared before his eyes, stretching to the horizon, with countless red Other Shore Flowers swaying in the breeze, occasionally with some pure white souls flitting past like light clusters.

Indeed, very beautiful.
