Chapter 164
Deathswamp Prefecture Hall, Deathswamp Prefecture.
Wang Hao removed all the errant thoughts on his mind as he ignored the tablet in front of him. With its preciousness, Wang Hao knew that this tablet must have been well-guarded.
He then did what he was supposed to do. He entered the prefecture hall to have himself registered as a citizen of the Deathswamp prefecture.
Wang Hao knew that he had to rush everything he had to do, since he only had 12 hours left to assist the Solstice Kingdom. But with the situation he was in now, even going back to the Solsctice Kingdomwas almost impossible given the distance. Not only that, Wang Hao was also sure that Siwang Wangzi was wary and cautious of him.
“Sigh.” Wang Hao realized that he was stuck deep in the Underworld now. Actually, Wang Hao already had some contingencies prepared to leave the Underworld easily.
But each of these contingencies involved revealing some of his deep secrets. As much as possible, he wanted no one else to discover these secrets.
Because of that, Wang Hao decided to find another way to escape Underworld without resorting to these secrets.
Once Wang Hao entered the prefecture hall, countless eyes stared at him, as if he was a specimen to be observed. Countless divine senses assaulted his body, seemingly intent to discover anything on his body.
5 minutes passed by, and Wang Hao sighed in relief as the weird stares retreated and disappeared. The souls inside the hall then ignored him as they continued on their tasks.
Wang Hao then looked around the hall, comparing its difference on the normal registration halls.
Wang Hao’s eyes twitched when he realized that this box can still sense some of his bloodline even when he had hidden it well!
With his experience, Wang Hao was able to hide almost all the fluctuations of his bloodline on his soul. He was sure there could be something that can detect beast bloodlines on this place. In order to save himself from any slip-ups, he masked his bloodline aura from any kinds of detectors. At that moment, he was sure that nothing can detect his bloodline.
However, he did not expect this dark box to detect something on his bloodline.
But fortunately, the box registered his bloodline as a Divine Beast Bloodline. That saved him from the chaos that will ensue if his bloodline was registered as a Godly Divine Beast Bloodline.
“I am sorry if I offended you with my actions earlier!” To his surprise, the reception girl’s face paled as she panickedly asked for Wang Hao’s apologies. Upon seeing this, Wang Hao realized that bloodline holders in the Underworld was actually treated as important people.
When she saw Wang Hao’s confused face, the reception girl realized that Wang Hao must have not known about the special status of the bloodline holders. She then explained that due to some reasons, bloodline holders were treated as important personalities in the Underworld.
She also said that the higher the grade of the bloodline, the better treatment they will receive. Wang Hao’s High Grade Divine Beast Bloodline was considered to be the highest in the Underworld, just below the Godly Divine Beasts. That immediately skyrocketed his status in the Underworld.
She then said that each prefecture had a place dedicated for the bloodline holders.
The Deathswamp Prefecture had one, and luckily, it was near the Prefecture Hall.
“Hmph, good thing you know your place.” Wang Hao adopted an arrogant attitude after hearing that his status was quite special. “Since you did not know that I was a bloodline holder, I will be lenient to you. But your actions earlier were still rude, so as a punishment, you need to accompany me for now.”
“Yes…” The reception girl bowed her head, not daring to argue against Wang Hao’s demand. She knew that Wang Hao’s status in the Underworld was now lofty, and someone like her was lucky to even be his follower.
The others inside the Prefecture Hall did not say anything, for fear that Wang Hao will turn his anger to them.
“What is your name?” Wang Hao asked the girl in a soothing voice.
“Roxy.” The girl muttered in a low voice. She seemed to be scared of Wang Hao as she shrunk her body further.
“Er… do not be scared ok? I was just acting earlier.” Wang Hao could not bear to see Roxy getting scared because of him.
Upon hearing this, Roxy pouted angrily. She just realized that she had been conned by Wang Hao big time!
But before Roxy could scold Wang Hao, they saw something in the sky of the Underworld Realm.
Since the Underworld Realm was a place for the dead, its looks were also different from the material realm. Its ground was mostly black, and the skies were dyed red.
Right now, Wang Hao and Roxy saw the red skies turning golden. A crack appeared, and a blindingly white scroll appeared. Its size was so large that Wang Hao could swear that everyone at the Underworld could see it. Seconds passed by, and Wang Hao saw some words being etched on it.
Wang Hao’s breath quickened when he read these words. The words that he saw on the scroll were,
“Selection Competition for the Yama Successor!”
