Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 402: Chapter 184: Do You Know Your Crime?_1

Outside Fengdu City, there was a dead silence.

Even the guarding Ghost Generals, who all harbored ulterior motives, dared not even breathe heavily at this moment.

The Emperor’s Carriage emerging and being driven by a Netherworld Commander, such a sight was unheard of even in their long lifespans.

At this moment, the legend of that very Emperor’s Carriage surfaced in their minds.

It was said that at the dawn of the establishment of the kingdom of Hell, the First Heavenly Emperor, to reward the deities who made outstanding contributions during the establishment, cast five Emperor’s Carriages from the very essence of the kingdom of Hell.

During the heyday of the kingdom of Hell, the power contained within each Emperor’s Carriage, born from the essence of the kingdom itself, was enough to suppress all manner of evil spirits and demons. Even the 5 Regions Ghost Emperor and the 10th Hall Yama could only bow and pay their respects before the carriages.

However, as time passed by, the power within the kingdom of Hell continuously changed hands. Three Emperor’s Carriages were lost consecutively in the chaos of war, and the essence within the carriages gradually dissipated with the passing of time.

Eventually, the Emperor’s Carriages lost their mighty power to suppress all supernatural beings and were eventually sealed within the kingdom of Hell by the 5 Regions Ghost Emperor.

Ten thousand years ago, when the Great Yin’s Mortal Emperor created the Great Schism, the Lord of Mount Tai peeled away the Netherworld from the kingdom of Hell and entered the Primal Chaos Realm to maintain the cycle of life and death in that Realm.

Yet, to allow the Netherworld to exist independently in the Primal Chaos Realm, it was necessary to suppress it with a Netherworld Treasure, consuming the spirit essence of the treasure.

The deities of the kingdom of Hell were reluctant to use their precious and rare treasures and, after consultation, brought forth an Emperor’s Carriage to preside over Fengdu City, using it as a foundation to stabilize the order of the Netherworld within the Primal Chaos Realm.

It could be said that this very Emperor’s Carriage was the foundation upon which Fengdu City was established ten thousand years ago.

As millennia passed, the Emperor’s Carriage too exhausted its spirit essence through the eroding forces of order and time, yet it still symbolized the supreme authority of the kingdom of Hell.

Even the arrival of the 10th Hall Yama did not entitle them to ascend the Emperor’s Carriage; they certainly had no right to have the Netherworld Commander Bull Head manifest his true form to personally drive the carriage for them.

All the ghostly beings watched the Emperor’s Carriage slowly moving toward the outside world, their hearts suddenly filled with countless thoughts.

“Could it be that Bull Head is taking such actions to welcome some important personage?”

“Just what kind of existence could compel Bull Head to use the Emperor’s Carriage?”

“Even if the Mortal Emperor of the Primal Chaos Realm came in person, he wouldn’t receive such treatment.

Moreover, after the Great Yin’s Mortal Emperor created the Great Schism, the position of the Mortal Emperor has been incomplete, even less qualified for Bull Head to drive the Emperor’s Carriage out to receive them.”

As numerous Ghost Generals guardedly discussed among themselves, at this moment, Fengdu City was also in turmoil.

Outside the central temple of Fengdu City, Netherworld Commander Wasp, one of the 10 Commanders of the Netherworld, was engulfed in a formidable aura and looked towards the Emperor’s Carriage outside the city with a furious expression.

“Just after the Yamas have withdrawn the will to descend into the Netherworld, Bull Head uses the Emperor’s Carriage on his own initiative. What exactly does he intend to do? Is he trying to stage a rebellion?”

The body of Netherworld Commander Wasp resembled a wasp transformed into human form; he governed the souls of insects on the earth and was the last among the 10 Netherworld Commanders.

There were gaps among the 10 Netherworld Commanders, and faced with Bull Head, Wasp would have hardly even had the courage to speak loudly in the past.

But times have changed, and with Biancheng King, one of the Yamas, standing beside him, Wasp was emboldened.

“Though the Emperor’s Carriage has long lost its once divine charm, it still represents the ultimate authority of the kingdom of Hell. Bull Head must give an explanation for using such a treasure privately!”

The speaking Ghost General had the head of a horse and the body of a human and was none other than the Netherworld Commander Horse Face, who ranked equally with Bull Head.

White Impermanence, clad in white, crossed his arms over his chest and spoke with a twinkling gaze:

“If I remember correctly, Bull Head was originally ordered by Lord Mount Tai to take charge of the Emperor’s Carriage.

While it is true that using a Netherworld Treasure at will does harm the reputation of the Netherworld, it is not a violation of Netherworld rules.”

As soon as White Impermanence spoke, other Commanders, including the Day Wandering God and the Night Wandering God, turned their gaze towards him, their eyes filled with scrutiny.

The Night Wandering God also said in an ethereal voice:

“Bull Head indeed has the charge of the Emperor’s Carriage, and using it does not violate Netherworld rules.

However, his manifestation of his true form to pull the carriage clearly indicates his intention to welcome someone with it.

Everyone is certainly clear about what the Emperor’s Carriage signifies. If Bull Head allows just anyone to mount the Emperor’s Carriage, would that not be a flagrant disregard for our kingdom of Hell’s supreme dignity?”

The 10 Netherworld Commanders represented the interests of the Yamas and had long since divided into numerous factions; from a certain perspective, not all Commanders were supportive of the kingdom of Hell’s intrusion into the Primal Chaos Realm.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Disrupting the balance of yin and yang was just one of the reasons.

The 10 Netherworld Commanders were the sovereigns of the Netherworld, jointly dividing the whole Netherworld amongst themselves.

Should the kingdom of Hell intervene in the mortal world, it would mean the Yamas would descend and overshadow them, and there would be few who would willingly surrender their power to others.

Yet the Yamas’ prestigious status and immense strength left the Commanders no room to refuse.

Should everything unfold according to plan, the Commanders would have no choice but to follow the Yamas’ arrangements and invade the mortal world.

But now that the Yamas had just finalized their grand plan and drawn forth the talisman edict from the Lord of Mount Tai, with the project reaching its final step, Bull Head suddenly took the Emperor’s Carriage and left Fengdu City.

If there was no connection between these events, the present Commanders would dare not wager their own heads in a bet.

In such a situation, while some Commanders would enjoy seeing someone stir up trouble, others truly aligned with the Yamas to seek greater benefits. The different stances caused a war of words to erupt among them.
