The underworld has shattered, reincarnation has ceased, and billions of ghosts are stranded in the mortal realm. The imbalance between yin and yang has plunged the world into chaos. Lin Yuan has just inherited a bankrupt underworld. Staring at the miniature Hall of Yama in his palm, he is so terrified that he calls a mysterious hotline in the middle of the night. “Hello? Is this the relevant department? I found something, and I think I could trade it for a government job… Also, could the country provide me with a library?”
So while everyone else is still catching ghosts in the city and trembling with fear, Lin Yuan has already brought the country’s foremost scholars to establish a “Hall of Literary Dao” in the underworld, using the Analects to reshape the order of reincarnation.
While the protagonists of other novels are still struggling to cultivate immortality, the Dragon Nation has already organized poetry competitions to power the underworld, using “Song of Righteousness” to purify vengeful spirits, “Bring in the Wine” to kindle the flames of karma, and “Memorial on Sending Troops” to summon heroic spirits and ghostly soldiers.
“Hey, Eagle Sauce, see that? This is literary transcendence. Now experience what it means for ‘a stroke of the brush to startle the wind and rain, and a finished poem to make gods and ghosts weep’!”
