Chapter 562: Lost Lantern and Prophecy Dice Translator: Lonelytree But I’m not a living person. I can’t use the values or good and evil of you living people to measure a thing or a person. ” I only care about the order of the Underworld. My cooperation with Sener is limited. I’m not interested in the tragedy he created in the material world. That’s something that you living people should deal with. It has nothing to do with me, a dead person from the Underworld.” Matthew instinctively frowned. Viscount Fan’s tone was sincere. Matthew questioned, Doesn’t the Underworld have the most basic knowledge of good and evil?” Viscount Fan answered without hesitation, “Yes, but judging the good and evil in life is not my job. “As you can see, I just want to complete my duty. My understanding of this world is very simple. As long as everyone can do their job and don’t overstep their boundaries, this world won’t be too bad.” Matthew nodded imperceptibly. It wasn’t that he agreed with Viscount Fan’s ideology, but he could understand the way Viscount Fan viewed things from the standpoint of the Emissary of the Underworld. “So, do you want to cooperate with me like how you cooperated with Sener?” Matthew asked. Viscount Fan nodded. ” I hope you can help me fight against the rampant phenomenon of ‘soul theft’ or ‘soul stay’.” “Soul theft?” Matthew was a little surprised. Wasn’t a necromancer the biggest soul thief? After all, ghosts needed to be transformed into spirit bodies. He looked at Viscount Fan in confusion. The latter explained, ” I know you might be surprised, but Soul Theft isn’t what you think. “We know that the Underworld is the final destination of all living beings after death. “Under normal circumstances, the soul of a dead person would definitely be attracted by the Underworld to cross the River Styx and reach Underworld City. “Except for three situations. “The first type was devout believers who were blessed by the gods. “After death, the souls of these believers had a certain chance of entering the kingdom of the gods. “They would be transformed into petitioners. “Actually, becoming a Petitioner might not necessarily be any better than having one’s soul return to the Underworld. However, this was a contract between Lord Death and the gods during the Age of Enlightenment, so it was not convenient for me to comment on it. “The second type was those who had signed a contract with demons, devils, evil spirits, and other creatures when they were alive. “The most typical example was the Evil Art Master. “After their deaths, their souls would not go to the Underworld. Instead, they would be taken away by their master. “The fate of this type of soul would be even more miserable than that of the gods’ petitioners. “If the petitioners were lucky, they could still live a good life in the kingdom of the gods for a few years. If their masters were not warlike gods, their self-consciousness could even last for thousands of years. “However, once a soul fell into the hands of the demons, it would quickly become delicious food. “Of course, the Underworld rarely asked for souls from these people for reasons similar to the gods. “The third is that you necromancers have turned them into ghosts. “In theory, we have to ask you for this kind of spirit regularly. “However, considering that there weren’t many necromancers, the Underworld had turned a blind eye. “The ‘soul theft’ that I’m talking about refers to the more rampant behaviour of the soul that doesn’t conform to the laws of the Underworld in the prime material realm. “According to my observations. “In the past hundred years, the number of souls that should have entered the Underworld in the south was only one-tenth of what was expected. “Behind this phenomenon, it means that someone is maliciously preventing souls from entering the Underworld!” Mattnew rrownea.” Do you want me to find the mastermind behind the theft of souls from the Underworld?” Viscount Fan shook his head. It would be best if it were possible, but the other party is very cunning. Spirit Touch Hall has been tracking them for decades, but we haven’t found a specific suspect. We can only vaguely confirm that the mastermind is related to the ‘Underworld Cult’ that has risen on the East Coast in recent years. ” The Underworld Cult has quite a large scale in all the strongholds in the south. A few years ago, they held an evil ritual to completely cut off the Underworld’s call to spirits. Normally, after a person dies, their soul will naturally return to the Underworld. But now, it’s not like that anymore. A large number of souls can’t feel the call of the Underworld. They are forced to stay in the material world. Some of them have turned into ghosts, while others have disappeared into thin air. They haven’t even left behind a mark. If this continues, there will definitely be a huge problem with the order of the Underworld. ” What I hope you can help me with now is to guide lost spirits back to the Underworld regularly.” As they spoke. He looked at the army of corpses behind Matthew and said, ‘ For example, the dead behind you. I personally brought their spirit bodies back a few days ago. “They are actually very pitiful. If I hadn’t happened to come over, their imprints would have only drifted away into the material world for nothing. From then on, they would never have the chance to reincarnate.” Matthew’s heart jumped. “Is there really reincarnation in this world?” Viscount Fan smiled. ” I think so, but I’m just a messenger of the Underworld. I don’t know more about the ‘Rootless River’ than you do.” Rootless river, also known as the mother river. Legend had it that it was the origin of all things. After all the ” imprints ” were cleansed in the Underworld, their final destination would be the Rootless River. It was the end of death and the beginning of life. Rootless River was harder to find than the Myriad World Tree Sea. Legend had it that the God of Death had found a part of the Rootless River, and that was how he had his divine power and domain. Viscount Fan continued, My request isn’t too much. You can keep some of the spirit bodies that you want to make into ghosts or other undead. As long as the number isn’t too exaggerated, I can accept it..”
