Lord of Hell: The Return

They thought I was dead.

My alcoholic, abusive father died under mysterious circumstances. I, Lin Xi, was a sickly, ugly girl forced to bind with the Hell Purification System. They smiled as they raised me to become its sharpest blade, cheering on my livestreamed feats of ghost-slaying.

But they didn't know that every evil spirit I purified brought my sealed divinity closer to awakening. The powers granted by the System were also accelerating my transformation, until I would blossom into a peerless beauty whose radiance left all beings speechless.

But the System bared its fangs behind my back. The mastermind was a traitor who had slain a god in my previous life. They had orchestrated this "raising of venomous creatures" solely to make me, their former master, the sacrifice for a new god's ascension.

But they hadn't accounted for my companions. I can communicate with all living things, and my proud black cat, loyal yellow dog, and chattering sparrow... are all my eyes and allies. Behind me stands A Wu, a blood saintess who can heal anything, and a blind prophet who can see into souls... along with an army of spirit animals.

The apocalypse descended. At the height of despair, I chose to embrace death. Amid the fires of hell, I opened my eyes.

The livestream continues. But now the camera will be trained on a god's grave.

"My hell, returned to its rightful owner today."

And the man named Xie Xun had been searching for me all along.
