Chapter 1 - The Abnormality (1/2)

The universe was divided into the Heaven World, the Demon World and the Human World. Among the three of them, Human World was in the lowest status.

However, out of the three worlds, there was another world called the Netherworld.

The Netherworld ruled the Underworld and the Ghost World. So even the Heaven World and the Demon World couldn’t overtake the Netherworld’s position.

Because either the human, Gods, or demons would have to enter into the Netherworld after they had deceased, otherwise they would become wandering souls and might never be reincarnated.

The Underworld was the place where all the wandering souls being reincarnated. Only the wandering souls which passed the review of the Transmigration Palace could enter into the Underworld. However, the date of their reincarnation depended on the things they had done in their last life. And the Hell Palace would make the final judgement.

Lucky wandering souls could be reincarnated in the next second.

As for the unlucky ones, they would have to wait for hundreds of years or even more.

The Ghost World was the destination for the wandering souls who had killed people in their last life.

The wandering souls with light sins could go to the Underworld for Reincarnation after their rages had been cleaned up. However, the ones with greater sins would have to be subjected to all kinds of sufferings in places like the Red Lotus Hell until all of their rages were cleaned up. Even so, they had to wait for hundreds to thousands of years to be reincarnated.

However, the Transmigration Palace’s review was the first stage before any wandering soul went to the two worlds above the ground.

For example, the scholar was brought to the Transmigration Palace by the man in white.

Normally, a dead person would turn into two kinds of wandering souls. The first kind was from the ones who had had a natural death, such as dying of old age or disease. This kind of soul was unconscious for a while after death. Therefore, the soul would fly to the Transmigration Palace on their own to accept the review.

The other kind was from the people who died accidentally, like the scholar who had been killed by a coach.

The people who died an unnatural death always had a strong will of survival. Thus, their souls still had consciousness. And this kind of soul must be brought back by ghost officers or else it would have to wander in the universe and become a ghost forever once the time to go to the Transmigration Palace was overrun.

The man in white was not a real ghost officer. In fact, he was the assistant of the lord of the Transmigration Palace.

A man in a high status like him was not in charge of chores like catching souls. However, over the past hundred years, the number of the souls of the people who had died in accident kept increasing, Transmigration Palace was so short-handed that even he had to get out to catch a soul.

He only felt he had been disgraced. But the lord of the palace was the one who had given the order, so he had to accept the assignment.

However…

A moment before he was still filled with anger, the next second he just wished he could kill himself.

As the man in white was about to arrive at the Transmigration Palace, he found the little ghost’s soul had already disappeared in the Spellbound Bell!

The Spellbound Bell was his tool for collecting souls and had never failed once over the thousands of years.
