The Spirit World is boundless, encompassing everything.

The first layer is the Illusory Spirit Realm, the second layer is the Mental Realm, and the third layer is the Dream Spirit Realm – all exist in accordance to physical world. Their existence varies from world to world.

The fourth layer, the Realm of All Spirits, is the foundation where all worlds exist.

The fifth layer, dubbed the Divine Realm, is the abode of the Divine, also known as the Star Realm.

However, the sixth layer, which Su Lu has named the ‘True Spirit World’, is the real unknown territory.

Here, time is non-linear, and space is not continuous. They exist in fragments.

...

Su Lu’s True Spirit takes on human form as She explores the fog of mystery.

“On entering the sixth layer of the Spirit World, one acquires the Power of the Unknown, a terrifying force capable of annihilating the Divine… Yet I feel that there are secrets hidden here…”

Su Lu moves forward and sees a familiar figure.

As She tries to catch up, a dreadful spiritual sense is alerting her that a terrifying event will occur once She does.

“That’s… my own shadow!”

Su Lu stops in her tracks, coming to a realization.

The next moment, her True Spirit falls rapidly, landing back into her physical body in the Divine Realm. @@novelbin@@

“The sixth layer of the Spirit World is dangerous…”

“If not for the presence of my physical body, and the connection it granted me, I would have been completely lost in the fragments of time and space…”

“But why did the demon enter with her physical body, risking everything?”

Su Lu’s physical form opens her eyes, and what seems like lightning flashes within them.

The exploration of the sixth layer of the Spirit World has become part of her daily routine.

Besides this, her other routine is impersonating the ‘Lord of Death’ to gain the followers that Lady Moon has left behind.

Since She has obtained authority over the others, Su Lu has an advantage in acquiring followers.

“This is equivalent to inheriting all the channels of my predecessor. Naturally, I am more experienced than the newcomers. I can envelop most of the forces left behind by Lady Moon…”

After a brief assessment, Su Lu is struck by the sheer magnitude of Lady Moon’s influence.

“She controls at least thirty worlds, and is widely celebrated as the ‘Ruler of Death’… In addition, there are Death Sects openly operating in hundreds of worlds, their power ranked among the top-tier… As for the number of worlds being secretly evangelized, it is even more countless…”

Su Lu is satisfied with the daily increase in faith.

Her gaze lands upon a gargantuan world.

…

It is the realm of bones and the undead.

The Liches and Vampires form the upper crust of the ruling kingdom, yet there are still living beings amongst them, even living quite comfortably.

After all, with a few aspiring Liches manipulating large numbers of skeleton warriors and zombies, manual labor and grunt work are taken care of, without any need for heavy taxation on the citizens.

The young boys and girls at the bottom of the hierarchy look forward to the selection ceremony each year.

The so-called ‘selection’ is an aptitude test to see if one possesses the talent for necromancy. The passers become students of a Lich, and if they rank second, they may become apprentices of Necromancers or Death Knights. If they fail, they will have to rely on their looks. If the handsome young men and beautiful women catch the eye of a Vampire noble, they too can be transformed and join the ranks of the nobility.

That’s right!

Even in another world, in the end, it all comes down to one’s appearance!

Those who are judged to be unsuitable in the end have no choice but to live as ordinary people. The only requirement being that upon death, they must unconditionally donate their bodies. This is the meaning of their existence.

Death is just an extension of life.

In a world without life, even death will fall into silence.

…

In the Palace of the Kingdom of Death,

A coup is underway.

“Lady Moon has fallen! Your Majesties, why do you insist on resisting?”

Many Liches, mixed with Death Knights, Vampire Elders, and other high-level undead creatures, are glaring at a jewel-encrusted skull.

Its teeth and eyes have been replaced with various gemstones and precious metals.

“No reason… Lady Moon is my faith!”

The skull announces its last declaration: “Kill me…”

“Your Majesty… This is the last time we’ll address you as Majesty, a new king must be born, and the priest of the Lord of Death will crown him!”

A Lich retrieves an antique black box, this is the lifeline box of the Lich opposite.

“It has been decided in the High Death Council that we banish you, Urukh!”

The life box is smashed towards the jeweled skull, and a ritual formation is instantly formed under it.

This is the ‘Spirit World Exile Skill’! The subjected party will be rejected by this world and banished to the Realm of All Spirits, never to return!

“Alright, the old king is gone, the new king must be established!”

A Lich claps its bony hands, “Let’s prepare for the celebration, it’s for the wellbeing of our kingdom.”

“Lady Moon’s church has been demolished and transformed into a church for the Lord of Death.”

“The new king is also a Lich. Urukh’s student Nazak is very willing to accept the new faith… According to tradition, he has the right to inherit, making the transition smoother for the kingdom.”

“Passed!”

“Passed!”

Before long, news of the regime change has spread throughout the Kingdom of Death.

The faith has changed! The new king is crowned!

…

“Another world belongs to me.”

Su Lu is very interested in this world of death. After all; it’s a rare example of a world where the undead and the living coexist harmoniously.”

Such an outcome is better than a divided future embroiled in a civil war.”

“My lord… You are the ruler of death, the conqueror of the River of Underworld, the protector of the undead…”

“Your glory shines through the earth, blessing our spirits in the afterlife!”

“I pray you, accept our humble faith…”

As She listens, She discovers that the number of beings harboring faith in the ‘Lord of Death’ has completely eclipsed those following the Spirit Lord, making some faith lines unusually thin and weak.”

“Luckily… I am not a deity who needs to rely on faith. Otherwise, I might even be held hostage by it…”

Su Lu sneers: “Absorb!”

A large amount of faith is converted into Faith Value, breaking some kind of threshold.”

“Now… It’s time to deduce the ninth-grade profession.”

With a thought, an attribute column appears.”

In an instant, Su Lu’s vision is filled with a variety of illusions.”

Many potential paths and directions of deduction have now led to only a single one, one where she reigns supreme over the Spirit World, an awe-inspiring figure holding a colorful rainbow in her hand.”

“The unique ninth-grade profession – [Sovereign of Spirit]!”

In an instant, Su Lu comprehends the information of her profession as well as the required ritual.”

“Never mind other requirements, those can be accumulated through Faith Value… But the ritual to become a ninth-grade [Sovereign of Spirit]… requires nine or more elements of authority?”

“Currently, I only command Nightmare, Spirituality, Death, and the River of Underworld… Doesn’t that mean I have to hunt several more deities like Lady Moon? Or even more… Ordinary demigods lack authority, and most gods only control one…”

Su Lu’s expression turns solemn.

She also received other information, such as… The more numerous and powerful the authority one possesses, the higher the success rate of advancing!
