Chapter 1862

Wang Peng was utterly shocked.

He never expected the legendary Book of Life and Death to have kept pace with the times and turned into a laptop.

He claimed the seal as his master, opened the computer, and sure enough, could look up local personnel information.

"Name: Wang Tao, Gender: Male, Age: 92, Lifespan: 1000, Merit: 100, Life Record:..., Address:..."

"Name: Liu Yu, Gender: Female, Age: 16, Lifespan: 1050, Merit: 5, Life Record:... Address:..."

He looked through name after name and found that everyone listed had a lifespan of a thousand years or more. Curious, he clicked the filter function and discovered that not a single person in the city had exhausted their lifespan within the past hundred years.

Wang Peng said in surprise, "If it's like this, won't our job be very leisurely?"

In the Underworld, if no one dies, there naturally wouldn't be much to do.

"Dream on!" the trainer above sneered. "We don't have any here, but foreign countries have plenty. Lady Nüwa's manifestation didn't give foreigners any benefits. (afac)"

Wang Peng was shocked: "Foreign ghosts are also under our jurisdiction? Wouldn't this waste our energy and finances?"

"You think this is serving other countries?" the trainer said with a laugh. "This is serving the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and there are benefits. Where do you think the Underworld officials' faster cultivation comes from?"

Wang Peng suddenly understood.

The others also caught on.

Their thinking was still too narrow.

Now that the nation had become the center of the world, the area the Underworld managed naturally couldn't be just their own country, but all living beings in the entire world.

Even the nation establishing the Heavenly Court in the future was foreseeable.

After half a day of training, everyone officially took their posts.

Wang Peng and Li Yun activated their divine offices and entered the Underworld.

He had originally expected the Underworld to be a place of gloomy winds and wretchedness, but it turned out the Underworld was just like the mortal world, only without the sun.

And his workplace was actually a skyscraper, brightly lit inside, where all the officials of the Underworld were hugging their own Book of Life and Death, tapping away at their keyboards with a clatter.

Though they were called Ox-Head and Horse-Face and Judges, they were essentially no different from white-collar workers in the mortal world.

"This is the Underworld, please look around!"

Just as he was in awe, he saw an Underworld officer walking over holding a selfie stick. "The staff you see are the Underworld ghost officers and Judges."

"The computer you see is actually evolved from the Book of Life and Death."

Wang Peng asked in shock, "You're actually live-streaming?"

The Underworld officer nodded and said with a smile, "The nation has some of us live-stream to broaden everyone's horizons, so they won't fear the Underworld too much and can report to us immediately when something happens."

Wang Peng nodded, feeling somewhat numb.

This netherworld was completely different from what he'd imagined.

The live-streaming Underworld officer walked away.

"Checking lifespan? Sure, ten yuan per query, just top up and you can check. But there's no need..."

Li Yun came back to himself, looked at Wang Peng with a complicated expression, and said, "I never expected the Underworld to have developed a lifespan-checking business too. They really know how to make money. Let's go, we should report for duty."

Wang Peng nodded and walked with Li Yun to his own workstation.

He had barely sat down when an Underworld officer came over escorting a golden-haired, blue-eyed girl ghost.

"I'm an American! You can't arrest me!"

"You're already dead. This is the Underworld, what you Westerners call hell!"

"No, shouldn't I be going to heaven?"

The girl spoke in English, yet everyone communicated without any barrier.

This was actually an ability granted by the divine office.

One had to remember that the Underworld governed the Six Paths; besides humans, there were other living beings, and without this ability, animals and plants would be incomprehensible.

After a few explanations, the girl finally understood—there was no heaven or hell in the West, only the Underworld governed ghosts—and resigned herself to it, cooperating with Wang Peng to complete the recording work.

"Emily, deceased at age 16, died in the mortal world from a demon disaster. Since she did no evil, she will be reincarnated as a human in ten years. Any objections?"

"Officer, I have no objections. May I ask, can I be reincarnated in the Central Plains?"

"That depends on fate. Alright, take her away!"

Emily listened obediently, and her mood immediately sank.

Now everyone knew that the Central Plains was the center of the world, the center of civilization.

She naturally wanted to be reincarnated in the Central Plains.

But the Underworld's divine beings had actually not permitted it, which left her feeling a bit of despair.

If she was reincarnated abroad again, wouldn't she die a miserable death soon?

In that case, it would be better not to reincarnate at all!.
