Chapter 2491

"Ten years have passed in a blink. I am over seventy now. Sigh, husband, I am old." Zhu Yanyi finished speaking, not forgetting to touch her smooth, tender cheeks.

Seeing Zhu Yanyi’s playful act, Yan Aohan smiled helplessly. "Stop pretending. How are you old? If you were truly old, could you still carry a child? I never believe I am old. You are the one claiming age first."

"True." Zhu Yanyi nodded seriously. "You are indeed older than me. In real age, I don't even know if I reach a fraction of yours. Thinking about it, husband, you are an old cow eating tender grass. No, you should be called an old-old cow eating my very tender grass." Zhu Yanyi burst into loud laughter.

Yan Aohan could only smile helplessly. "Yes, you are indeed a bit tender. But it doesn't matter. Since you are tender grass, you must be eaten. So it is normal for this old cow to eat you."

Zhu Yanyi paused. She almost forgot that Yan Aohan was absolutely sharp-tongued. Seeing how he provoked her, she realized she was the one losing out again.

Zhu Yanyi sighed, looking at Yan Aohan with an extremely innocent expression. Yan Aohan couldn't hold back his amusement. "Alright, alright. You are the tender grass. It is my blessing to be chosen by you."

Hearing Yan Aohan’s words, a satisfied smile appeared on Zhu Yanyi’s face. She then said seriously, "It is indeed so." Then, as if remembering something, she asked, "By the way, what is the lifespan of my sister and the others?"

Yan Aohan calculated briefly, showing a helpless expression. "It is still early." He then explained to Zhu Yanyi, "Did you forget? You created the physical improvement agent back then. Your sister and brother-in-law’s constitutions have been completely changed. Therefore, they can live to be about one hundred and fifty years old. So, there are still several decades left."

Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi felt a bit emotional. "So, I have to wait seventy or eighty years to see them again." In ancient times, people knew their fate after forty. Now, most people could live past a hundred. It felt incredible.

"Yes. Actually, if you want to see them, I can take you back to visit them," Yan Aohan said.

Zhu Yanyi pondered for a moment, then shook her head. "Forget it. Not for now. Besides, I am carrying a child. If we go now, crossing planes might affect her. They still have seventy or eighty years of life. After my child is born, I can still visit them."

Yan Aohan agreed with this point. This was also one of the reasons he proposed it. Zhu Yanyi knew her limits. She knew what to do and what not to do, so Yan Aohan did not need to worry about this.

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan finished processing all the documents. Fortunately, incidents like the one in the Zhengdong No. 13 plane were rare. Most other matters were just minor anomalies.

"In these ten years away, the residents of the Underworld have reached hundreds of thousands," Zhu Yanyi said seriously.

Seeing the number of hundreds of thousands, it was actually not many for the entire Underworld. The Underworld was too vast; hundreds of thousands of people were not enough to fill a tooth gap. However, becoming a resident of the Underworld required certain conditions. Only those who met the conditions could become residents. This was why, despite the vastness of the Underworld, the hundreds of thousands of people were not considered many.

Yan Aohan looked at the population report. "The number will increase in the future. Moreover, various industries in the Underworld will also rise."

The residents of the Underworld only differed in constitution. They were yin souls reincarnated directly in the Underworld, so they were different from people in the mortal realm.

Although their constitutions were different, as long as they became residents of the Underworld, they could survive under the sunlight of the Underworld.

The sunlight in the Underworld was different from ordinary sunlight. It was suitable for the growth of Underworld residents and other creatures. So in the Underworld, you could live as an ordinary person. Of course, if you felt bored with life, you could naturally reincarnate.

Actually, except for specific Underworld civil servants or other special personnel, ordinary Underworld residents needed to go through reincarnation once every hundred years.

However, this reincarnation was different. It was called Life Experience. As long as one was kind-hearted after reincarnation, did no evil, and died of natural causes, they would directly recover their past life memories and remain residents of the Underworld. But if one did evil and it was confirmed, their status would be stripped, and the punishment would be heavier than that for ordinary Underworld residents.

No rules, no order. Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi both knew this, so they enforced this point firmly.

Besides, ordinary Underworld residents mostly needed to be kind-hearted.

"At this speed, in a hundred years, there will probably be tens of millions of residents. However, in a hundred years, residents will need to go through Life Experience reincarnation every year. This way, we don't need to worry about the Underworld being overcrowded," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.

Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi, then said, "It is impossible for the Underworld to be overcrowded."

"Why?" Zhu Yanyi, although the Queen of Yanluo, was not very familiar with the Underworld.

Yan Aohan said, "The yin souls in the Underworld are linked to people and creatures in all planes. There is a fixed number. Generally, once the number is set, it does not change. Moreover, every year, the souls of evil people are destroyed. Mainly, these evil souls are split into flying insects and then destroyed. In this case, the positions originally belonging to these evil people need to be filled by new souls. Only then can new souls be produced."

Yan Aohan spoke vaguely, but Zhu Yanyi understood. "I understand what you mean. You are saying that souls are one-to-one. Only when one is destroyed can a new one be produced?"

"Correct." Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi with approval. "This is why I discovered someone creating souls back then. Because of this, souls that are not naturally born cannot enter various reincarnations. However, that soul-creation expert was quite good. At least in my opinion, the created souls looked decent."

Yan Aohan actually admired the Evil Buddha’s methods. Being able to create souls was not a simple technique. Such methods were beyond the reach of ordinary people.

However, if one’s heart was not kind, but insisted on doing so, it would not be a good thing for all living beings.

Zhu Yanyi did not know Yan Aohan’s thoughts, but she knew that anything man-made was usually not very effective. Like artificial meat or artificial leather. The taste was bad, and the clothes tore easily.
