In the once empty and magnificent palace complex at the core of the underworld, some creatures have begun to move about.
These ghost messengers, active in the heart of the underworld, are the ones who have joined the underworld's court.
After the Wheel of Reincarnation assigned some very simple and basic duties of the underworld to these ghost messengers, these ghost messengers began to perform their duties in the core of the underworld.
When these ghost immortals first took office, they were quite busy, but now, as time goes by and their fame has spread throughout the underworld, they have finally become more leisurely and relaxed.
These ghost immortals mainly have only a few simple tasks on a daily basis, including putting some souls that should have entered the six realms of reincarnation but have fallen behind or gotten lost due to unforeseen circumstances back into the six realms of reincarnation, so that they can be successfully reincarnated.
Of course, such situations are rare; these ghosts and immortals only handle a few such cases occasionally.
They were initially busy with only two things, or rather, one: suppressing those powerful but somewhat "disobedient" ghosts in the entire underworld.
The countless unconscious wandering souls absorbed from the entire Tianyuan Sacred Realm into the Underworld will enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation along several fixed routes.
Then, the Six Paths of Reincarnation will determine whether they will be reincarnated or cast into the eighteen levels of hell to suffer endless torment.
In the past, some ferocious demons who had cultivated to an extremely powerful level would forcibly capture and devour these large numbers of unconscious wandering souls to make themselves even stronger.
This behavior has deeply violated the rules of the underworld and has created some obstacles to the normal operation of the six realms of reincarnation.
In addition, there are some powerful ghosts who, relying on their cultivation, run rampant throughout the underworld and are extremely cruel to other ghosts.
Some powerful and ferocious ghosts are no longer satisfied with simply capturing and devouring the unconscious wandering souls in the underworld to improve their own cultivation.
Some ghosts in the underworld have discovered that the more powerful the soul they devour, the more beneficial it is to their cultivation.
Thus, among the most powerful ghosts in the underworld, some extremely ferocious ones began to raise their swords against the ghost race.
These powerful and ferocious demons grow stronger by slaughtering and devouring countless demons.
As the Underworld absorbs more and more wandering souls from the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm, the number of ghosts in the Underworld also begins to increase significantly.
Those powerful ghosts who had already tasted the sweetness of victory became even more tyrannical, slaughtering more and more ghosts to improve their cultivation.
Under such circumstances, the underworld fell into a state of extreme turmoil.
From the day it was born, the Underworld has had its own set of rules of conduct. These rules, like the laws of the various races in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm, are something that all living beings in the Underworld must abide by.
The moment all the ghosts enter the underworld, they will naturally understand the rules they need to follow within it.
Those powerful ghosts who run rampant in the underworld undoubtedly chose to violate the rules of the underworld even though they knew them.
Under these circumstances, the underworld's officials were born.
Those ghosts who have the opportunity to undergo trials to enter the Underworld are all powerful individuals who, despite their formidable strength, firmly adhere to the rules of the Underworld and refrain from reckless behavior.
Those powerful members of the Ghost Clan who successfully pass the trials to enter the Underworld can become one of the lowest-ranking deities in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm—a Ghost Soldier.
Then, under the infusion of the power of the Wheel of Reincarnation, these spirits will easily become powerful ghost immortals.
Those powerful members of the Ghost Clan who failed in the trials would not face any mortal danger. Furthermore, after withdrawing from the trials to enter the Underworld, they would receive certain benefits based on their performance in the trials.
After these ghost immortals take up their posts in the underworld, their main task is to restore a stable order in the underworld, so that the underworld and the six realms of reincarnation can function normally.
These ghost immortals first issued a notice to all the ghosts in the underworld, instructing them to strictly abide by the rules of the underworld.
Then, they selected several of the most ferocious ghosts in the past, killed them, and spread the news throughout the underworld, hoping to make an example of them.
Unfortunately, the powerful demons in the underworld did not buy it, and they became even more ferocious than before.
Some extremely powerful and ferocious ghosts even began to unite, intending to attack the core of the underworld and annihilate all the underworld officials in order to ensure their supreme status in the underworld.
They believed that if they wiped out all the underworld officials, no one would be able to interfere with their lives anymore.
Then they can continue to lord it over all the ghosts in the underworld, just like before, making countless ghosts serve them and improving their own cultivation by devouring large numbers of ordinary ghosts.
However, what they didn't know was that, given the absolute difference in power, even a random ghost immortal could suppress the entire underworld, not to mention that there were more than one underworld official in the underworld.

Chapter 83 The Netherworld Emperor
The day when those ferocious ghosts of the underworld besieged the core of the underworld is still remembered by all the ghost race to this day.
After a powerful ghost immortal launched a fierce attack, suppressing all the ghosts besieging the core of the underworld and sending all the surviving ghosts to the eighteenth level of hell.
Hundreds of powerful ghost immortals emerged from the core of the underworld, launching attacks in different directions and sweeping across the entire underworld.
These powerful ghost immortals began a brutal suppression of all the ghosts in the underworld who had violated the rules of the underworld, a suppression that drove countless ghosts to despair.
In the underworld, all the surviving ghosts could not forget that day, when the entire underworld was plunged into a bloodbath.
In just one day, the number of ghosts in the entire underworld decreased by as much as 40%.
Those powerful ghosts who were once considered invincible in the underworld were now as fragile as ants in the hands of those ghost immortals, and were slaughtered in large numbers.
After that bloody massacre of all the ghosts in the underworld who had violated the rules of the underworld.
A massive rain of blood fell over the underworld, covering an entire area. This rain lasted for three months before gradually receding from the underworld's sky.
From then on, the entire underworld fell into a long period of peace, among the endless ghosts living on such a vast area of the underworld.
Surprisingly, only after a long interval would an incident occur occasionally, caused by the ghost race violating the rules of the underworld, requiring the ghost immortals living in the core of the underworld to handle it.
Moreover, even today, those ghost immortals living in the core of the underworld rarely move around the entire underworld.
The Underworld remains the most peaceful place in the entire Tianyuan Sacred Realm, and the ghost race living in the Underworld remains the most law-abiding race in the entire Tianyuan Sacred Realm.
Over the years, in this peaceful underworld, there have still been occasional talented ghosts who have passed the tests to enter the underworld and, under the power of the Wheel of Reincarnation, become powerful ghost immortals.
