Weird: Run away, he has conceptual-level abilities!

As Jiang Ming's voice slowly echoed, all the ghosts present were stunned, frozen like wooden chickens.

Whether it was King Chariot, the Eight Great Ghost Gods, or even the heroic female ghost, all wore expressions of disbelief.

Even the six Palace Lords of the Shadow Palace, who had the strongest psychological endurance and acceptance, felt a sense of absurdity when faced with the reality that the Lord of the Tenth Hall of Yama was their own father, son, or brother.

That was King Chariot, for crying out loud.

As the master of a ghost god-level force in the Underworld Empire, they had never seen this King Yama of the Chariot Hall,

But they had heard of his deeds and knew of his illustrious reputation.

And now...

Their own father was telling them that this King Chariot was their eldest brother.

This news was too shocking.

It left them unable to recover for a long time.

Nearby.

Her mind was even more chaotic.

King Chariot was a descendant of the Underworld Emperor's bloodline, and he had been appointed as the Lord of the Tenth Hall of Yama after strict selection.

There shouldn't be any flaws in terms of bloodline.

Her first reaction was that Jiang Ming was talking nonsense.

But what was Little Brother's purpose in doing this?

Just to insult King Chariot once before he died?

This seemed completely unnecessary.

After ruling out this option, the only answer left was that King Chariot was really her Little Brother's own son.

Not only did she have a love rival, but also a illegitimate son born to that rival.

More importantly, if King Chariot was really Jiang Ming's own son, then the Underworld Emperor was undoubtedly cuckolded, not only failing to discover that his concubine was having an affair with another man, but also helping that wild man raise his son and cultivate him into talent, making him the master of a hall.

This was simply the ultimate fool.

At this moment.

Even though the heroic female ghost regarded the Underworld Emperor as an enemy, she couldn't help but sympathize with this ruler of the Underworld Empire.

On the other side.

King Chariot, as the person involved in the incident, was the first to recover. Under the effect of the 1v5-level cheat skill [I Am Your Father], his gaze towards Jiang Ming gradually changed from unfamiliar to familiar, and finally, he shouted with emotion: "Father, so you are my real father! This child deserves to die ten thousand times for daring to attack you, old man. Please continue to teach me a lesson, it's all because this child was blind."

This Lord of the Tenth Hall of Yama lowered his head and began to repent.

His ghostly face was full of remorse.

He used the last bit of his Yin energy to spit out a hard ice pillar, handed it to Jiang Ming with both hands, then untied his upper body robe, turned around to reveal his back, and muttered: "The unfilial son is here, please father teach the child."

Jiang Ming didn't speak, his gaze falling on the scars on King Chariot's back.

Those were shocking scars.

Some long, some short.

The long ones stretched from the neck to below the waist, the short ones were thick and twisted, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were skin and flesh torn apart.

The dignified Lord of the Tenth Hall of Yama, a pseudo-Emperor level existence, actually had such unsightly injuries on his body.

Clearly.

These were definitely not caused by enemies.

But were personally inflicted by an existence that even King Chariot didn't dare to resist.

Jiang Ming immediately thought of the Underworld Emperor.

Only this supreme ruler of the Underworld Empire would make King Chariot not dare to resist, allowing these scars to remain on his back.

It seemed that this Underworld Emperor believed in the argument that "filial sons come from under the stick."

Upon this thought.

Jiang Ming silently picked up the ice pillar.

Seeming to be considering where to start hitting.

King Chariot silently lowered his head, closed his eyes, bit his teeth, and waited for the coming punishment.

For a long time.

King Chariot, who didn't feel any pain, raised his head in confusion, seemingly not understanding why Jiang Ming didn't make a move.

Just at this moment.

Jiang Ming reached out and threw out a jade green fruit.

His tone was gentle as he said: "This is the Jade Dragon Fruit, eating it will allow you to nurture the divinity of life and obtain the Yin Wood Divine Body. Remember, you are my son, you shouldn't have scars on your back. I will settle this debt with the Underworld Emperor sooner or later."

Speaking of the end.

Jiang Ming's tone also became grim.

Looking like an honest man who was going to seek justice for his suffering son.

Upon hearing this, King Chariot's gaze froze.

"Father, aren't you going to punish me? I did make a mistake, and only by suffering a profound lesson can I remember it and not make it again next time."

He couldn't help but persuade.

His expression showed anxiety.

Eagerly hoping that Jiang Ming would teach him a lesson, so that he could feel at ease.

Jiang Ming secretly clicked his tongue in his heart.

Just how brutal was the Underworld Emperor's stick education, that even a dignified King Yama would thoroughly implement this theory and regard it as the truth.

However—

This was undoubtedly an opportunity for him.

Allowing him to deeply ingrain the image of a loving father in the ghost's heart.

Immediately.

Jiang Ming rubbed King Chariot's head and sighed with feigned grief: "My son, in my eyes, making mistakes is not an unforgivable sin. Even if you're wrong, just correct it next time. Moreover, you still have your father, I will always be your backing."

"What I regret most now is leaving you with the Underworld Emperor back then, causing you to suffer such hardships. It's all father's fault."

Hearing this.

King Chariot dared to believe that his father wasn't testing him, but really thought that he didn't need to be punished.

Compared to the Underworld Emperor, the father in front of him was simply his dream father.

A loving father that he wouldn't even dare to dream of.

For no reason.

King Chariot's eyes turned red.

He said sincerely, a little choked up, and called out again: "Father."

"Hey, my son."

Jiang Ming patted King Chariot's shoulder and said softly: "From today onwards, father will support you. You can tell father any grievances you have."

"Yes."

King Chariot nodded heavily.

He looked at the Jade Dragon Fruit in his hand and resolutely ate it. It was like saying goodbye to his past self.

Once the Dragon Fruit was swallowed, he would welcome a brand new ghost life.

Soon.

King Chariot stood up.

A rich life force emanated from his body.

This was the characteristic of nurturing the divinity of life and obtaining the Yin Wood Divine Body.

The most direct proof was that the scars on King Chariot's back had completely disappeared, and the originally withered aura had also begun to fill up, the pressure of the pseudo-Emperor level reappearing.

"Father, I have completely recovered, and I have also obtained a second high-level divinity, my strength has further improved."

King Chariot happily reported.

This trip to the Abyss of Heaven not only allowed him to find his own father, but also nurtured the divinity of life under his father's gift. With the blessing of the Yin Wood Divine Body, his combat endurance was even greater than before, his strength had increased by at least 60%.

For him, who had already reached the peak of the pseudo-Emperor level, this improvement was not small.

He even had the confidence to challenge the position of the Fourth Hall of Yama.

And all of this.

Was brought to him by his own father.

Indeed.

A child with a real father is a treasure.

King Chariot thought so.

Under the effect of the Iv5-level cheat [I Am Your Father], he had completely recognized Jiang Ming as his real father.

Under the halo of his real father, Jiang Ming's image in King Chariot's eyes became incomparably tall.

In comparison, the Underworld Emperor's position plummeted, and his image became a vicious adoptive father who concealed the truth and prevented him from finding his real father.

After a period of fatherly love and filial piety.

Jiang Ming led King Chariot back to face them.

At that time.

The six Palace Lords of the Shadow Palace couldn't wait to step forward, looking at King Chujiang with a kind of honored expression, and shouted excitedly: "Big brother, I didn't expect you to be father's son too. We're really like a flood washing over the Dragon King Temple, we didn't know each other until we fought."

Although they were not born from the same mother, they were still blood-related brothers from the same father. With this relationship established, there was absolutely no loss in them actively calling out "Big brother."

On the contrary.

Having a Yama-level biological older brother elevated their status.

It could be said that even if they were just ordinary ghosts, relying on the background of being King Chujiang's biological brothers was enough for them to walk sideways. Even Calamity-level, or even Pseudo-Emperor-level existences wouldn't dare to offend them.

This was the intimidating power of the Ten Halls of Yama.

King Chujiang also laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, patting the shoulders of his six younger brothers one by one.

With his insight, he could easily see that although these six younger brothers were only Nightmare-level ghosts and gods, each of them had conceived three ghost and god characteristics, and two had even conceived high-level divinity. Coupled with their special ghost species talent, given time, each of these six younger brothers would become heaven-defying existences capable of conceiving seven or eight ghost and god characteristics.

With such potential, advancing to Ghost Emperor was definitely not a problem.

Even surpassing Ghost Emperor was not impossible.

He was equally proud to have such six younger brothers.

Of course.

He wasn't bad either.

He didn't disgrace his biological father.

The biological brothers recognized each other, and there was another round of pleasantries.

Immediately afterwards.

Jiang Ming introduced the Scarlet Queen to King Chujiang.

King Chujiang also very simply lowered his head and apologized: "I'm very sorry, Aunt, it was wrong of me to disturb you. You can hit me or scold me, I'll accept it."

The Scarlet Queen pursed her lips.

Her pretty face was slightly red.

With the existence of the six Palace Lords of the Shadow Palace as a premise, she didn't have much reaction to the fact that King Chujiang was Jiang Ming's son. She only secretly thought that her lover was hiding too deeply.

His background was probably not just the City God of the City of No Return, not just a human being, there must be even more astonishing and ancient identities hidden behind him.

But these had nothing to do with her.

She only knew that Jiang Ming solemnly introduced her identity to his biological son, and King Chujiang even called her "Aunt."

This showed that in Jiang Ming's eyes, she was not just a dispensable lover, but a "Madam" with status.

With just this point, she had no other demands.

So.

She very generously forgave King Chujiang's offense.

The temperament of a Madam was beginning to show.

Finally.

Jiang Ming looked at the heroic female ghost: "You all know each other, so I don't need to introduce you, right?"

The heroic female ghost looked at Jiang Ming with a complicated expression.

"I really didn't expect that you, junior brother, were hiding such an astonishing identity. Presumably your current human identity is just a disguise, right? If the Underworld Emperor knew that there was someone like you in his empire, he would probably mobilize the power of the entire ghost kingdom to hunt you down. Therefore, before you have the strength to be enemies with this huge ghost kingdom, it's better not to expose your relationship with King Chujiang."

It was impossible for a young human to have a biological son who was tens of thousands of years old. Even a fool understood this principle.

It's just that...

She couldn't imagine that there was someone like Jiang Ming in the former Underworld Empire.

In her opinion, since Jiang Ming had the ability to cuckold the Underworld Emperor, his strength would definitely not be weaker than the Ghost Emperor level. Without this strength, it would be impossible to hide it from all the ghosts. The Underworld Emperor's concubine was doing dirty things, and she even had the audacity to give birth to a son,

and let the Underworld Emperor raise him.

But she had searched through the history of the Pure Land World for hundreds of thousands of years, and had never heard of a Ghost Emperor like Jiang Ming.

This junior brother seemed to not exist in the past history.

While thinking.

King Chujiang broke the silence.

He couldn't grasp the relationship between his biological father and Consort Yan, so he could only say in a commonplace way: "I am no longer the son of the Underworld Emperor, and there are no more conflicts between you and Imperial Daughter Yan. I hope that we can turn hostility into friendship in the future. If there is anything I have done wrong, you can hit me or scold me."

The heroic female ghost shook her head.

"It's okay, I'm not that petty. However—I hope you can tell me whether what you said before is true, or were you deliberately bluffing me?"

What she was referring to was naturally the predicament of the Void Heaven Palace that King Chujiang had mentioned.

Hearing this.

King Chujiang's expression also became serious.

He glanced at his old man, nodded solemnly: "It's true. I received the news before the opening of the Celestial Abyss that the Underworld Empire has a plan that has been planned for hundreds of thousands of years, which was set by the Ten Great Ghost Emperors back then. The purpose is to use the special nature of the Celestial Abyss to revive and return."

"And now—is the day the plan is launched."

"As long as the ancestors of the past revive and return, the Underworld Empire will take back all the powers that have been granted, and incorporate all the Palace-level forces, including the Void Heaven Palace. Moreover, because of you, the Underworld Empire is likely to take this opportunity to use the Void Heaven Palace as an example to scare the monkeys."

Hearing this.

The heroic female ghost's face changed.

The Eight Great Ghost Gods were equally shocked.

The news that the Ten Great Ghost Emperors of the past were about to revive and return was too much for ghosts to handle.

There was no other reason.

Not long ago, they had fought against the resurrected Netherworld Ghost Emperor, and had to pay the price of ninety-nine deaths to kill him.

Moreover.

The Netherworld Ghost Emperor at that time was not at his peak state.

Not only did he not have Yin artifacts, but his grade was once suppressed to the Dream level.

Even so, they still died ninety-nine times.

It was conceivable how terrifying the Ten Great Ghost Emperors of the past were.

Once these Ghost Emperors returned, the entire structure of the Pure Land World would usher in a reshuffle.

It was no exaggeration to say that it would be earth-shattering.

Subconsciously, they looked at their old man.

As soon as they looked, they were all stunned.

Because their dear old man was showing a surprised and excited expression at the moment.

A look of shining eyes.

Okay, their old man was just afraid that the world wouldn't be in chaos.

They were worried for nothing.

For a time.

The worries in the eyes of the Eight Great Ghost Gods disappeared.

Their old man wasn't in a hurry, so what were they in a hurry for? Just follow along.

With this thought in mind.

Their entire ghost relaxed, and they asked King Chujiang all kinds of gossip questions in a very leisurely manner.

Seeing this.

The heroic female ghost also unconsciously relaxed a little.

This feeling was very wonderful, as if as long as she stayed by Jiang Ming's side, she would always have a sense of security. Even if the sky fell, her junior brother could do something to mend the sky and turn the tide.

After a long while.

Seeing that the atmosphere was heating up, Jiang Ming also asked casually.

"Does anyone know of any resources that can improve high-level abilities?"

What he was referring to was naturally resources of the type of omnipotent soul points, which could improve skill levels without any restrictions,

including plug-in skills.

The golden fruit could not do this.

He needed more precious resources.

"Improve high-level skills? Divinity?"

King Chujiang and the heroic female ghost fell into deep thought at the same time, and then, they suddenly thought of a resource and blurted out:

"Spiritual substance."

Jiang Ming:?

Jiang Ming:!!!
