Chapter 2405
"Does this mean that 'living beings' include not only those who enjoy the Yang energy of the mortal world—humans, immortals, gods, demons, and monsters—but also those who live in the Underworld with Yin energy, such as souls, spirits, and ghosts?" Zhu Yanyi seemed to have a sudden realization.
If the definition of life was not limited to what the naked eye could see, then as a doctor, her patients would not be limited to the mortal realm either.
Previously, at Yan Aohan’s request, she had treated soul bodies. But now, she felt a deep understanding: the illness of a soul was similar to human illness, but because the nature of the soul was different, the medicine required must also be different.
Thinking of the medicinal field in the Underworld, Zhu Yanyi said to Yan Aohan, "The medicinal field in the Underworld needs to be expanded, and the variety of plants needs to be richer."
As soon as these words left her lips, Zhu Yanyi felt a tremor in her heart meridians. She had unexpectedly broken through to the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm.
Zhu Yanyi smiled helplessly and looked at Yan Aohan. "I finally understand. My cultivation cannot be measured by conventional standards."
Indeed, who could have predicted that simply speaking a sentence would increase her cultivation base?
Yan Aohan chuckled softly. "Good. I will have people start cultivating the medicinal fields."
"Mn." Zhu Yanyi nodded. Then, her mind moved again, and she waved her hand toward the Ruyi Space. The Seven Living Spirits emerged from her body.
"Master, did you call us?" Little Fire asked.
Zhu Yanyi pointed to the Underworld. "This is the Underworld. She is my husband, the Yan Emperor. I will be the Yan Empress. I hope the elements in my Underworld can also achieve balance. Is that possible?"
"Of course it is possible," the Seven Living Spirits said in unison.
Little Wood said, "Master, we are one with you. Wherever you wish for elemental balance, it can exist. Wait a moment, we will go activate all the elements here."
Previously, this place contained only soul power and Yin energy, with very few other elements. But because Zhu Yanyi possessed the Seven Living Spirits, activating these elements was not impossible.
The Seven Living Spirits flew off in different directions.
Although Zhu Yanyi could not see them, she could clearly feel the air in the Underworld changing continuously. The shift was very distinct.
Zhu Yanyi looked up at the sky, a trace of indescribable relief in her eyes.
Yan Aohan, standing beside her, also noticed the difference. The elements in the Underworld had increased. A flash of surprise crossed his eyes, followed by a smile. "Wife, you are my lucky star."
"What's wrong?" Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan in surprise, not expecting him to be so excited.
Yan Aohan explained, "Although the Underworld is an independent unit, it was just the Underworld. But now that elements have appeared, this place will naturally form its own heaven and earth. Moreover, the full name of this Underworld can be changed to the Yanluo Realm, while the Underworld itself becomes merely the center for handling affairs."
"The Yanluo Realm?" Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan, understanding yet confused. "What kind of place is that?"
Yan Aohan said, "The emergence of the Yanluo Realm means that you and I have acted as creators together. Although the life forms here are different—they are all residents of the Underworld—regardless, as the elements increase, the physical constitution of the Underworld residents will gradually change. Besides having longer lifespans, they will be similar to ordinary people in other aspects."
Zhu Yanyi finally understood. "So, you and I are called Creator Gods? But I am only a Golden Immortal."
"But you have gained the karmic merit of creation. Wife, if anyone tries to oppose you in the future, they are opposing a Creator God." Yan Aohan’s tone became slightly gloating, obviously targeting those evil gods and Buddha figures. Anyway, Yan Aohan was no longer worried about Zhu Yanyi. As long as she broke through, becoming a god was only a matter of time.
Zhu Yanyi shook her head, seeming incredulous. She had never imagined that something she did casually would have such powerful consequences.
"Did I make things too big?" Zhu Yanyi scratched her head.
"It’s fine. If it’s big, let it be big. I am here," Yan Aohan smiled lightly, indicating that Zhu Yanyi’s worries were nothing to fear.
In the Supreme Ink Palace, the Black Emperor, Xie Jifan, was playing chess with the Empress, Wu Xunmei. Suddenly, his heart stirred, and he looked at Wu Xunmei.
Wu Xunmei saw his expression and asked, "Has something happened?"
"Something has happened. It is good news," Xie Jifan said with a helpless smile. "The Yan Emperor and the future Yan Empress have jointly created the Yanluo Realm."
Wu Xunmei was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily. "This is good news. I originally felt that many rules in the Underworld were inconsistent. Now that the Yan Emperor has returned to his position, the Underworld can be unified. I didn't expect them to create the Yanluo Realm. This is truly good news for stabilizing the Underworld."
Xie Jifan nodded. "With the establishment of the Yanluo Realm, the path of reincarnation for all Yin souls will be expanded anew. It is good news."
After speaking, Xie Jifan pointed his finger, and several characters appeared in the sky: "From this day forth, the Yanluo Realm is established. Yin souls have a destination; without reincarnation, they cannot be reborn."
In an instant, these words appeared in the skies of all realms.
At this moment, Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi were busy. Because the Yanluo Realm had been established, they needed to readjust their management plan. Yan Aohan recalled all the Yin Gods.
"From this day forth, the Yanluo Hall is divided into ten regions, known as the Ten Great Yanluo Districts.
The regional scopes are the East District, Southeast District, South District, Southwest District, West District, Northwest District, North District, Northeast District, Central District, and Attached Central District, totaling ten regions.
Each region has one Yanluo in charge, serving as the King of the Region. The authority of the King is not to be violated.
The former First Hall King, Qin Guang Wang, is responsible for the East District. The former Second Hall King, Chu Jiang Wang, is responsible for the Southeast District. The former Third Hall King, Song Di Wang, is responsible for the South District. The former Fourth Hall King, Wu Guan Wang, is responsible for the Southwest District. The former Fifth Hall King, Yan Luo Wang, is responsible for the West District. The former Sixth Hall King, Bian Cheng Wang, is responsible for the Northwest District. The former Seventh Hall King, Tai Shan Wang, is responsible for the North District. The former Eighth Hall King, Du Shi Wang, is responsible for the Northeast District. The former Ninth Hall King, Ping Deng Wang, is responsible for the Central District. The former Tenth Hall King, Lun Hui Wang, is responsible for the Attached Central District.
The names of each region can also be changed to correspond with the manager, becoming District One, District Two, up to District Ten. The residence of each regional head is named after their hall: Qin Guang Hall, Chu Jiang Hall, Song Di Hall, Wu Guan Hall, Yan Luo Hall, Bian Cheng Hall, Tai Shan Hall, Du Shi Hall, Ping Deng Hall, and Lun Hui Hall.
The former Yanluo Hall where the Yan Emperor and Yan Empress reside is renamed the Yan Palace.
Under the Yan Palace are the Ten Halls. Each hall may appoint ten City Gods to manage sub-districts. Each City God may manage one hundred Earth Gods, overseeing smaller areas. Each Earth God may manage one hundred Five-Path Walkers, handling various situations across different planes. The hierarchy must be clear, and no one may overstep their bounds."
