Chapter 1445: Chapter 894: The Underworld Workshop and the Departure of Ye Fan’s Trio

As the blood from the tip of his tongue slowly dripped onto the Jade Pendant, Shen Zhinan felt his body violently tremble all over, as if some ancient and powerful force resonated with him at that moment. Surrounded by swirling black smoke, the surface of the Jade Pendant shone brightly, and an indescribable force flowed out from it, along his bloodstream, merging into his limbs and bones, and even deeper into his soul.

The moment his eyes deepened, it seemed as though Shen Zhinan could peer into the Underworld, as if some ancient power within him was awakening.

That was the authority of the Eastern Ghost Emperor, the supreme authority that rules the Netherworld.

He could clearly perceive every minute change in the Netherworld and even hear the whispers of the wraiths lingering outside the Gate of the Ghost…

Shen Zhinan took a deep breath, feeling as though he had established some mysterious connection with this world.

Although his appearance had not changed significantly, his temperament underwent a drastic transformation in an instant.

His brows exuded a deepness and majesty, as if he could see through all falsehoods in the world. His gaze was sharp, piercing through hearts, enchanting and soul-stealing!

“Adult!”

As the light from the Jade Pendant faded, Shen Zhinan knelt to the ground and bowed toward Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui nodded, no need for extra words as the authority of the Jade Plate had already marked everything. The other party had gained recognition of the authority, activated the Jade Plate, and naturally obtained the related Memory Fragments as well.

What concerned Jiang Hui more was what new functionality would be unlocked after the Eastern Ghost Emperor’s ascension.

Soon, a series of flowing gold characters appeared before Jiang Hui.

He focused his gaze, reading lines at a glance, quickly scrolling through, and a sense of joy gradually emerged in his heart.

He did not expect the newly unlocked functionality to be this:

New Function Unlocked: workshop functionality.

The specific functionalities of the workshop are as follows:

First, the wakefulness of the wraiths in the Underworld is significantly enhanced.

Second, the workshop begins once a month, each time lasting for three days.

Third, wraiths in the Underworld can trade freely in the workshop.

Fourth, trading rules for the workshop need to be set by the host. Set now?

Friendly Reminder: Rules, once set, cannot be changed!

Friendly Reminder: After setting the rules, you can choose the scope of the workshop.

Jiang Hui was familiar with the term workshop, similar to the country fairs in his past rural life.

But for the Underworld, the significance represented by these two words was unimaginably significant.

Once the workshop appears, the Underworld will no longer be in a cold state…

Not to mention it was specially stated that the wakefulness of wraiths would be greatly increased.

This was the most important point.

A group of confused wraiths was definitely not what Jiang Hui imagined the Netherworld to be.

Just like humans have human vitality, ghosts should also have ghostly vigor.

What he wanted to create was a lively world that was no different from the real world, and even the two realms could be interconnected.

Of course, that’s a story for the future.

For now, it’s not possible.

Except that his own followers can return to the mortal world to stay alert during the designated time and pause for a while.

The rest, in a state of Chaos, once let loose, would become the evil spirits from past horror movies that everyone yells to strike down.

Jiang Hui did not set the trading rules for the workshop immediately.

Rules cannot be thought up in a few words, let alone these aren’t ordinary rules that can be changed at will. Once set, they cannot be changed, and careful consideration is needed.

Although Shen Zhinan ascended to rule the Underworld, he could still move in and out of the outside world at any time and reunite with his family.

This is also one of the rights of the Ghost Emperor.

And this is precisely why he, a living person, was chosen.

To make up for the more than thirty years of neglect, Jiang Hui especially pulled out a Rejuvenation Pill and several Ginseng Fruits.

These items were naturally not for Shen Zhinan, who had returned to his youthful appearance after officially taking charge of the authority and his life was without worry.

It was for his spouse.

The other party was still a mortal and these treasures were needed.

Shen Zhinan hurriedly accepted them while expressing immense gratitude to Jiang Hui.

After all these affairs, Jiang Hui let Shen Zhinan continue to stay to familiarize himself with the environment of the Underworld, while he himself returned directly to his sleeping chamber to ponder the rules related to the workshop.

A few days later.

Rules have been contemplated.

First Point: Integrity as the foundation, strict punishment for fraud.

Integrity is the foundation of trade; thus, the workshop will strictly enforce honest trading.

Jiang Hui decided to establish a ‘Supervisory Council’ made up of impartial and selfless Judges, responsible for overseeing every transaction to ensure both buyers and sellers adhere to the principle of honesty. Once fraud is detected, whether it is false pricing, passing off inferior goods as superior, or forcing a sale or purchase, culprits will be severely punished. The punishment is also simple: direct entry into the Eighteen City Hell.

Second Point: Free trade, respect for choice

Jiang Hui encourages wraiths to trade freely, respecting their personal choices. Whether it is buying, selling, or exchanging, wraiths can act according to their own needs and wishes, and any intervention is strictly forbidden.

Third Point: Dispute resolution, fair judgment

In the course of trading, disputes are bound to arise. To this end, Jiang Hui has arranged for the Judges of the Supervisory Council to also handle trading disputes, impartially adjudicating disputes to ensure that the rights and interests of both parties are protected.

Regardless of what rules are set, establishment is just the beginning; the real challenge lies in how to implement these rules effectively.

Of course, Jiang Hui doesn’t need to worry too much about this.

After all, those assigned are his own followers.

Once the rules were established, the entire Underworld felt as if it had been brushed by a gust of Clear Wind.

Jiang Hui could clearly sense some subtle changes within the Underworld.
