Throne of All Calamities

The old Lord of Hell in the Nine Nether Hells has exhausted his lifespan and is about to fall, and the order of heaven and earth is about to collapse. Hell opens the [Yan Jun Selection Trial] once in all eternity. The souls of all newly deceased mortals will be forcibly pulled into the Nine Nether Trial Space, retaining their thinking, IQ, and life experiences, but all will be deprived of their memory of death. All passers-by have a unified understanding: as long as they pass the level, they can return to reality alive. No one knows that he has died long ago, and no one knows that he is competing for the position of [the next Yama Emperor]. Real rules: Those who pass all levels will inherit the throne of Lord Yama, take charge of the underworld, determine life and death, judge reincarnation, and suppress all evils. But all of this was tampered with by Jiuyou's second-in-command, Judge Lu Zhidao. Lu Zhidao was unwilling to succumb to others and planned to usurp the throne. He secretly modified the rules of the trial, artificially manipulated the dead ends of each level, and deliberately massacred all the talented passers-by to ensure that only the puppets he selected were left to reach the top. He took power behind the scenes, ostracized the new Lord of Hell, and eventually replaced him. Xia Yiming, the country's chief think tank, fell into hell after his death and was forced to participate in a "King of Hell Succession Trial" controlled by a judge. In the progressive hell levels, with the wisdom and bravery of the wise ministers and warriors through the ages, he broke through the deadlock, uncovered the conspiracy, and finally took control of the underworld.
