From the Start, I Beat Up the Big Shots, and the Empress Begs Me Not to Tear Down the Underworld

Li Hao died suddenly from overwork, only to open his eyes in the Hall of King Yama!

When he saw King Yama take bribes to alter the Book of Life and Death, he activated the Underworld Anti-Corruption Commission System and grabbed King Yama by the collar, slapping him repeatedly:

"You stole five million netherworld coins? I'll send you to experience a cyber oil cauldron!"

That night, the underworld was turned upside down:

? Screens displaying KPI evaluations were installed in the Eighteen Levels of Hell

? A 5G base station was set up over the River of Forgetfulness to livestream ghostly complaints

? Ox-Head and Horse-Face patrolled the streets carrying rocket launchers:

"Report a corrupt ghost official and win three years of mock exams plus five years of real underworld exam papers!"

The Wu Zhou Empress conspires with the underworld to steal the nation's fortune?

Li Hao charges straight into the Divine Capital aboard a Ninefold Netherworld Star Destroyer, his slaps booming through the Golden Throne Hall:

"This slap is for throwing the court into chaos!"

"This slap is for colluding with parasites!"

"System alert: Beat up the Empress to earn 100,000 merit points and unlock administrator privileges for the Book of Life and Death!"

And things get even crazier:

■ Sun Wukong goes on strike at the 996 furnace, holding up a sign

■ The Jade Emperor begs to buy a VIP subscription to avoid getting arrested by the anti-fraud authorities

As the gods and Buddhas of the myriad heavens kneel and beg him not to tear down the Lingxiao Palace, Li Hao puffs on an e-cigarette and sneers:

"What's the rush? I've only just started tearing down the Southern Heavenly Gate!"
