ground, stammering:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord of the Underworld?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, he’s your superior!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Xiaoyu was also stunned, her face filled with disbelief: “So Itachi’re the boss of the Underworld?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Jie stood with his hands behind his back, radiating an overwhelming aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke calmly: “Shh, keep your voice down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m on a secret inspection tour of the mortal realm, experiencing grassroots Daoist life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t go blabbing about this everywhere—it’ll make it hard for me to… uh, to observe the people’s conditions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Jiu stood in place, meticulously studying Luo Jie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really does carry the aura of an Underworld Emperor—this isn’t fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still didn’t believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Jie is the Lord of the Underworld?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could that be possible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Master Jiu had been to the Underworld himself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only had he been there—he held an official position and a rank within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was one of the senior managers at the Underworld’s ghost money printing plant, responsible for maintaining the spiritual economy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even his own salary down below was printed by his own hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though as a low-ranking but powerful official, he’d never met the Lord of the Underworld in person, he’d seen plenty of portraits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several of Maoshan’s ancestral masters had once served as advisors in the Underworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could this man possibly be the Lord of the Underworld?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the aura of his position was unmistakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Jiu was utterly baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who exactly is this guy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he be a relative of the Lord of the Underworld?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A younger cousin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A son?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would he make things difficult for me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Jiu didn’t want to lose his cushy post at the Underworld Bank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, when he died and went below, how would he live like a rich man?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Jiu cautiously asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Luo, are Itachi truly the Lord of the Underworld?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Jie nodded, his tone calm: “No doubt about it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Jiu fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly realized something:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they’d only just met, Luo Jie was truly someone beyond ordinary understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One moment he was a foreign monk, the next a master of traditional sorcery, now he claims to be the Lord of the Underworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That he’s some spoiled son of a high official, using his father’s seal to show off?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Master Jiu wrestled with these thoughts, Luo Jie suddenly changed expression, his gaze sharpening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His connection to the Underworld had been severed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not due to poor signal—it was a complete, total disconnection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Jie could sense it: the position of Lord of the Underworld had already been occupied by someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, the Underworld no longer wanted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were no longer family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Luo Jie still retained the power of the Lord of the Underworld within him, it was due to the shared mechanism of the Grey Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His power did not come from the Underworld—it came from himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a piercing sense of being watched surged from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a gaze from the depths of the netherworld, one that could pierce life and death, cut through yin and yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Jie immediately activated his divine ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Return Heaven, Reverse Sun!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through layers of space, he gazed directly into the Underworld’s nether realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid swirling dark energy, a magnificent golden palace slowly materialized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, a middle-aged man with a beard and a stern face sat upon the imperial throne, gazing calmly toward the mortal world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he didn’t recognize this man,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Jie instantly knew: the aura radiating from him was nearly identical to his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the true Lord of the Underworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Gui had met Li Kui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No—Itachi’re the counterfeit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m the real dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stared across the void, locked in a silent struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lord of the Underworld merely glanced at Luo Jie with mild curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where did this brat come from, daring to steal my authority?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he made no immediate move to suppress Luo Jie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he sensed Luo Jie’s strength and knew he couldn’t defeat him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he simply spoke calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Friend, if Itachi have time, come to the Underworld for tea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice crossed the boundary between yin and yang, echoing directly in Luo Jie’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Jie smiled and replied: “Sure, I’ll definitely come next time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But inwardly, he had already decided:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I won’t go, not even if Itachi beg me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Jie had once ruled the Underworld in other worlds—he knew the true stature of the Lord of the Underworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the ultimate authority in the Underworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Underworld, his word was law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if he actually went there and was sentenced by a decree to be a prison warden in the Eighteen Layers of Hell?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be walking straight into the trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Luo Jie sensed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because this world was a hybrid cosmology, with not just one Underworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, not just one nether realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Egypt had Osiris’s domain, Norse had Hel’s realm of death, and even small nations had their own secret, minor nether realms operating quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Underworld was merely the largest among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Jie’s lips curled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t seize the Lord of the Underworld’s position?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll just move on and seize another nether realm instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already had a plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, take over a small nether realm and establish a foothold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then form a multinational Underworld conglomerate, recruiting Underworld officials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, kick out the Lord of the Underworld and declare myself CEO of the Underworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Master Jiu watched Luo Jie alternate between deep thought and quiet smiles, and felt a creeping unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help asking: “Mr. Luo, are Itachi alright?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Jie snapped out of his thoughts and smiled lightly: “I’m fine—just had a little chat with the boss of the Underworld.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Jiu nearly choked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared wide-eyed, bewildered: “Didn’t Itachi just say Itachi were the boss of the Underworld?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Jie cleared his throat, offering a slightly embarrassed smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Jiu, I lied to Itachi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not the boss of the Underworld—but I know the boss very well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waters here run deep, Uncle Jiu, Itachi understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Jiu nodded repeatedly, his mind flashing with countless thoughts, as if he had already imagined an entire palace intrigue drama of the Underworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy is definitely a connection kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he can casually resurrect the dead—he’s relying on connections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Jiu silently prayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>May the Ancestral Master protect me—please don’t drag me into this Underworld palace struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m just a lowly clerk selling spirit money, printing cash is fine—I don’t want to lose my job or get promoted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Sheng listened to the two men’s conversation, utterly baffled: “Master, what are Itachi talking about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Xiaoyu also leaned over: “So Itachi really are the boss of the Underworld.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Jie smiled and explained: “Nothing much—just some underground matters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Jiu, with a serious expression, said: “Qiu Sheng, remember this: words invite disaster. Some things must not be asked lightly, or even I can’t protect Itachi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Sheng immediately nodded: “I’ll never dare again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Luo Jie suddenly remembered something and turned to Uncle Jiu:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Uncle Jiu, since we’re on this topic, I’d like to ask Itachi a question.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Jiu eyed him warily: “What question?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Jie’s expression turned serious, his eyes glinting with a seductive light:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have Itachi ever thought of switching sides and working for me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Jiu froze: “Switching sides?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1263,"2026-06-20T22:07:50.161Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","72c859515c8fe416dc7ed2d09b125de179b3d49000de25527ae083bb5011294f","simultaneously-transmigrated-everyone-s-an-abstr-chapter-242","simultaneously-transmigrated-everyone-s-an-abstr-chapter-240",258,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-everyone-s-an-abstr-cover.jpg"]
