After transmigrating into the body of a low-ranking county office clerk, Song Lian came into possession of a Book of Life and Death.
Whenever he saw someone surrounded by black miasma, he could write down their name and gain their cultivation techniques and cultivation level.
He started with the street thugs of the West Market, then worked his way up to butchers, department heads, and the county deputy magistrate.
With every person he recorded, he grew stronger.
Until he turned to the final page of the book and saw a line of text:
The holder of this book shall act on behalf of the Underworld Office, recording the living above and the ghosts and gods below.
And beneath the entire county of Taiping lay the rotting bodies of seventy-two people, all connected to a Mountain God Temple.
