"It is indeed getting more lively here..."
"No matter how many tis you look at it, it’s always so awe-inspiring!"
With a sigh, a pitch-black Mountain Dog appeared by the Forgetfulness River.
Behind this black Mountain Dog, Ye Ming, who had already assud the office of "White Impermanence," remained indifferent.
Because this black Mountain Dog is none other than the embodint of the Celestial Erosion Monarch.
Ever since Wu Yao decided to reside permanently in the Underworld to guard the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the embodint of the Celestial Erosion Monarch has frequently traveled between the Yin and Yang Realms.
Today happens to be the fifteenth day of July, the day when the Ghost Gate opens wide.
The appearance of the Celestial Erosion Monarch by the Forgetfulness River is not a very surprising event.
The only one troubled is Ye Ming, whose duty as the "White Impermanence," personally appointed by Emperor Fengdu, is to uphold order on this Yellow Springs Road.
"If it weren’t for you, I would be on vacation in the mortal world right now."
She shot a cold glance at the Celestial Erosion Monarch; even Ye Ming had her limits.
After forfeiting vacations for several consecutive years to oversee the Celestial Erosion Monarch, even soone with great patience could feel annoyed.
"If you truly want to accompany Granny ng, I’m sure Emperor Fengdu wouldn’t mind granting you an office as ’Impermanence.’"
"Then, you wouldn’t have to wait for this particular day to visit the Netherworld."
Upon hearing this, the Celestial Erosion Monarch laughed heartily.
"Emperor Fengdu believes my current temperant is not suitable for residing in the Underworld."
"Even Wu Yao seems to think so, even though she herself accepted Emperor Fengdu’s invitation to beco the first ’Granny ng.’"
After receiving authorization from the Lord of the Netherworld, Emperor Fengdu’s appointnts are not rely titles.
Granny ng, Yama, Six Celestial Ghosts and Gods, Black and White Impermanence, Oxhead and Horseface, Yin Departnt Ghosts, Nether River Ferryman...
The divine offices behind these titles represent true Divine Format, power above ordinary Gods.
To speak frankly about it, whether it be the Celestial Erosion Monarch or Ye Ming.
Neither of them understands how Emperor Fengdu accomplishes such an astonishing feat.
The Celestial Erosion Monarch, at least, seems a bit more relaxed.
He knows of the existence of the Red Fish and understands how Li Boyang is revered among the Human-faced Fish tribe, almost like a "Great Fate Master."
Therefore, it is not surprising that Emperor Fengdu, as his embodint, possesses similar abilities.
In contrast, Ye Ming is completely bewildered by the situation.
Ye Ming cannot comprehend if things like Divine Format, divine office, and Divine Power can be granted.
In so sense, it is due to this curiosity about such phenona.
Ye Ming chose to co to Fengdu Ghost City and serve under Emperor Fengdu as the chief White Impermanence.
In the past, the Netherworld did not harbor so many ghost souls.
Thus, the role of Yin Spirit entities such as Oxhead and Horseface was often to apprehend evil souls and Ghost Gods from the mortal world, acting as powerful enforcers with combat roles.
The newly established Black and White Impermanence by Emperor Fengdu veers towards non-combat, administrative roles.
Their primary responsibility is to guide souls in understanding the order of Fengdu, thereby maintaining the operation of the Netherworld.
Truthfully, thinking of having the Age God under Yin Celestial Monarch take on the office of Impermanence...
Even initially, Emperor Fengdu explicitly opposed this notion.
However, this was Ye Ming’s personal wish.
In the face of her strong request, both the Lord of the Netherworld and Emperor Fengdu ultimately decided to respect her choice.
This demonstrates that Ye Ming, despite having forgotten past events, retains characteristics from her ti as Witch King.
She was the only Witch King among the nine, born during a ti of peace, dedicated to pursuing harmonious rule between humans and gods.
Even if she has reduced to rely a soul, transforming into an Age God, her desire for peace and distaste for battle remains unmarred.
"By the way, what gift are you bringing for Granny ng this ti?"
While walking alongside the Celestial Erosion Monarch, Ye Ming spoke up unexpectedly as they neared the Bridge of Helplessness.
Every ti the Celestial Erosion Monarch visited Granny ng, he would bring specific "specialties" from the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
These included, but were not limited to, items like Jade Pool Peach, Celestial Maiden Feather Robe, jade hairpins, and golden rings, gifts reflecting personal preferences and tastes.
To be fair, Ye Ming was once a goddess before becoming White Impermanence.
She naturally paid attention to and rembered the gifts that the Celestial Erosion Monarch brought.
Privately, she and Wu Yao would even try them out, share evaluations, and jest, displaying a close friendship.
"This ti is different."
The Celestial Erosion Monarch glanced at Ye Ming, seeming to notice her little gestures behind the scenes.
Perhaps feeling guilty for interrupting her vacation once again.
After thinking for a while, the Celestial Erosion Monarch suddenly stood upright and morphed into a human-head-dog-body form.
"This ti I brought this kind of compass..."
He revealed an intricately designed disk in his palm.
The disk carried a Yin Yang Eight Trigrams pattern, surrounded by densely packed Proverb Talisman, along with divisions representing the twenty-four solar terms.
"Recently, Li Boyang has been promoting ’Eight Trigrams Compass’ in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range."
"It’s a very unique divination tool, also quite handy for setting up an array... chart?"
At this point, the Celestial Erosion Monarch hesitated montarily in his speech.
"Through the Yin Yang, Eight Trigram, and seasonal divisions on it..."
"Even mortals inexperienced with divination thods can easily predict seasonal changes."
"If you’re adept in mathematics and divination, you can utilize this compass to foretell fortunes, locate water veins, and even prognosticate the future."
Ye Ming’s eyes imdiately brightened upon hearing this.
It’s clear that such convenient divination tools as the Eight Trigrams Compass hold imnse allure for anyone born as a Witch.
"Of course, if the user is unfamiliar with these tools, using it simply as an implent for setting up an array is also efficient."
Smoothly caressing the Proverb Talisman on the Eight Trigrams Compass, the Celestial Erosion Monarch pulled out a thin booklet.
"This is the ’instruction manual’ prepared by Li Boyang for everyone."
"As long as you follow what it says, even ordinary people can adapt it to establish various arrays accordingly."
"Using his words, it’s an easy, foolproof operation, simple enough for any dimwit who cos along."
Ye Ming calmly corrected with a light glance at the Celestial Erosion Monarch.
"Dimwits cannot use this compass; dimwits can’t read."
Faced with Ye Ming’s rare cold humor, the Celestial Erosion Monarch gaze wide with surprise.
However, Ye Ming’s next words imdiately made him regret introducing the Eight Trigrams Compass so enthusiastically.
"You certainly have two of these Eight Trigrams Compass, don’t you!"
"You can give this one to Granny ng, and yours to , as compensation for my interrupted vacation."
