Chapter 645: The First Batch of Souls Slowly Walked into the Portal
Just tell me whether this matter is embarrassing or not! Even Fan Wujiu and Huo Yancheng who were standing by were extremely embarrassed.
Upon hearing this, the King of Hell was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, his face filled with shock and disbelief. He opened his mouth, and after a long while he came back to his senses, his tone trembling a little: "You...you are the newly returned Heavenly Dao? City Lord Jiang, why didn't you tell me earlier! I really didn't recognize a great man, and I neglected you, which is really a sin!"
Jiang Luo smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said in a gentle tone: "King of Hell, there is no need to be like this. I have just returned to my position and many things are still being dealt with. The problem with the underworld this time was indeed my negligence. I should have paid attention to the situation here earlier."
The King of Hell waved his hands quickly, with a look of fear on his face: "No, no, no, City Lord Jiang, you are too polite. The problems in the underworld have always existed, but our abilities are limited and we cannot solve them completely. It is a great honor for us that you come here in person. The Heavenly Court also helped us a lot before, but since the underworld became autonomous, many problems have emerged, which is really difficult to deal with..."
Huo Yancheng stood aside and said with a smile: "King of Hell, please don't be polite. Now that Xiao Luo has returned to his position, the problems of the underworld will naturally be listed as a priority. The most important thing for us now is to solve the problem as soon as possible and restore order in the underworld."
Fan Wujiu also nodded, his tone calm but firm: "King of Hell, Jinglin has proposed a plan to build a portal, we can start immediately. After the pressure on the underworld is relieved, we will gradually upgrade the reincarnation system and completely solve the root problem."
After listening to the two, the King of Hell finally relaxed a little, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "Okay, okay! With the personal guidance of City Lord Jiang, I believe the problems in the underworld can be solved. I will fully cooperate with your work and implement the construction of the portal as soon as possible."
Jiang Luo nodded, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "Yan Wang, your cooperation is very important. Next, we will build a two-way portal between the underworld and the ghost town, and temporarily transfer some souls to the ghost town for recuperation. At the same time, the souls in the ghost town that need to be reincarnated can also be transferred here at any time to ensure the smooth flow of the reincarnation channel."
Huo Yancheng took over the conversation with a hint of excitement in his tone: "Yan Wang, the technology of the portal is already very mature, and the monitoring system of the ghost town can also be connected to the system of the underworld. In this way, the transfer and reincarnation of souls will become more efficient."
Fan Wujiu added: "Jinglin, in order to ensure the safety of the portal, I will set up rule barriers at the entrances to the underworld and the ghost town to prevent any accidents."
Jiang Luo nodded, his eyes firm: "Okay, then we will execute this plan. King of Hell, you immediately arrange for the ghost messenger to assist us in the construction of the portal. Huo Yancheng, you will be responsible for the technical connection; Fan Wujiu, you will be responsible for the setting of the rule barrier. We will complete it as soon as possible so that the souls in the underworld can be liberated as soon as possible."
Yan Wang nodded respectfully: "Yes, City Lord Jiang, I will arrange it right away."
Jiang Luo quickly contacted the staff in Ghost Town who were responsible for the formation. Yes, it was Old Nie and his family of three.
They have been floating outside for some time, dealing with the problems of spirit beasts and demon beasts during the revival of spiritual energy. Now all the spirit beasts and demon beasts have been locked up in a large formation. There are spirit beast gardens in various places, like zoos, where they are well raised and have a certain degree of freedom. The young beasts can even go to school and attend ordinary schools within a safe range. If they are dangerous demon beasts, they can only go to special schools.
They also don't want to interfere too much in the lives of the little animals. After many of them are able to transform, they need to be enlightened and awakened so that they can integrate into society normally.
Fortunately, these spirit beasts are not aggressive and they have a lot of fun playing with the children.
After receiving Jiang Luo's message, Old Nie immediately rushed to the underworld. Ordinary people would shorten their lifespans if they entered the underworld, but cultivators were not affected by this rule.
Old Nie, his wife Nie Yuji, and his daughter Nie Xiaoqian, the trio, appeared in front of Jiang Luo at the fastest speed. Jiang Luo was shocked when he saw them: "As expected of you who are good at formations, you came here too fast!"
Old Nie smiled and waved his hands, with a hint of pride in his tone: "City Lord Jiang Peng, how dare we neglect your call? Besides, the problem of the underworld is related to the balance of the three thousand worlds, so we naturally have to do our best."
Yu Ji also nodded. Her whole face had changed since she returned to the Ghost City. She said very gently, "Lord Jiang, our family of three has been dealing with the problems of spirit beasts and demon beasts outside for a while now. Now everything is basically stable. If you have any instructions, feel free to arrange them."
Nie Xiaoqian stood behind her parents, with a hint of excitement in her expression: "Brother Jiang Luo! Although I am young, I can still help! If you need me to do anything, just tell me!"
Jiang Luo looked at the family of three and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Old Nie's family is indeed a reliable helper!
He smiled and nodded, his tone gentle: "Okay, I feel relieved with you here. Now the underworld needs to build a two-way portal to temporarily transfer some souls to the ghost town to recuperate, and at the same time ensure that the souls in the ghost town can be reincarnated smoothly. Old Nie, you are the master of formations, so this task is left to you."
Old Nie patted his chest and said confidently, "Don't worry about this matter. The formation of the portal is nothing to our Nie family. I will start designing it now. I guarantee it will be fast and good!"
Nie Yuji also said: "I will assist Old Nie and ensure that every detail of the formation is perfect."
Nie Xiaoqian raised her hand excitedly: "I will be responsible for checking the energy flow when the formation is running to ensure the safety of the transmission process!"
Jiang Luo nodded, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "Okay, thank you for your hard work. Huo Yancheng will be responsible for the technical connection, and Fan Wujiu will set up the rule barrier to ensure the safety of the portal. You should start as soon as possible."
The Nie family stood in the center of the underworld, looking around at the dilapidated scene, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The souls in the underworld had empty eyes and slow steps, as if they had lost all vitality and hope. This depressing atmosphere made Nie Xiaoqian frown and whispered: "Mom and Dad, the souls here look so pitiful."
Yu Ji patted her daughter's shoulder gently, her tone gentle but firm: "Xiao Qian, we are here to help them. As long as we build the teleportation array, these souls can be temporarily transferred to the ghost town to recuperate, and the pressure on the underworld will be reduced a lot."
Old Nie nodded, his eyes showing a hint of seriousness: "That's right, Xiaoqian, our mission is very important, we can't be careless at all. The teleportation array is related to the cycle of life and death in the three thousand worlds, we must ensure that it is foolproof."
Nie Xiaoqian took a deep breath, with a look of determination: "Dad, Mom, I understand. I will go all out and will never fall behind!"
Old Nie took out a gleaming array plate from his arms. The array plate was engraved with complex runes, and each rune contained powerful power. He gently placed the array plate on the ground, and his fingers drew array patterns in the void. The array patterns gradually spread on the ground, forming a complex and mysterious pattern.
"The core of the teleportation array lies in the stability of the space channel and the balance of energy flow." Old Nie explained in a low voice while carving the array pattern, "We must ensure that the portal can withstand the transfer of a large number of souls, while also preventing energy fluctuations from causing damage to the souls."
Nie Yuji stood aside, holding a talisman in her hand, and chanted the formula of the formation in a low voice. Her fingers gently slid across the talisman, and a faint light merged into the formation pattern, further strengthening the power of the formation. Her eyes were focused and gentle, as if she was talking to the formation.
"Old Nie, I added a stabilizing spell to the formation to ensure the stability of the space channel." Nie Yuji said softly, "Next, we need to adjust the direction of energy flow to ensure that the soul can pass smoothly."
Old Nie nodded, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "Yuji, your spell was added at the right time. Xiaoqian, check the energy flow to make sure there are no abnormal fluctuations.
Nie Xiaoqian stood aside, holding a small compass in her hand. The needle on the compass kept turning as the formation changed. She stared at the compass with a focused and serious expression. She whispered, "Dad, Mom, the energy flow is normal at the moment, but the edge of the portal seems a little unstable, which may be caused by uneven energy distribution."
Old Nie frowned when he heard this, and quickly walked to the edge of the portal and checked it carefully. His fingers gently ran over the array pattern, adjusting the distribution of energy. After a moment, he nodded, with a hint of relief in his tone: "Okay, Xiaoqian, check it again."
Nie Xiaoqian checked the compass again and smiled: "Dad, the energy flow is completely normal now!"
While the three were busy, Huo Yancheng and Fan Wujiu also rushed over. Huo Yancheng held a technical drawing in his hand, and said with a hint of excitement: "Old Nie, we have completed the technical connection of the portal, and the monitoring system of the ghost town can be started at any time."
Fan Wujiu stood aside, his tone calm but firm: "Old Nie, I will set up a rule barrier at the entrance of the portal to prevent any accidents. You can build the formation without worry, and leave the safety issues to me."
Old Nie nodded, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "Okay, with your help, our work will go more smoothly. Huo Yancheng, you will be responsible for technical docking to ensure the stable operation of the portal. Fan Wujiu, you will be responsible for setting up the rule barrier to prevent any energy fluctuations from causing damage to the soul."
With the completion of the last array pattern, the teleportation array was finally built. A huge portal stood between the underworld and the ghost town, with a faint light flickering on its surface, as if it was a link between the two worlds.
Old Nie stood in front of the teleportation gate, his eyes filled with a trace of relief: "The teleportation array has been built, and the next step is the testing phase. King Yan, please arrange a group of souls, and we will conduct a test first."
The King of Hell nodded and immediately ordered the ghost messengers to arrange for the souls to be transported. The first batch of souls slowly walked into the portal, their figures gradually disappeared in the underworld, and then appeared at the other end of the ghost town.
