    Hundreds of millions of people wailed, wept, struggled, and died amidst the flames of war. Their souls, one after another, were forcibly extracted by the array's power, detached from their bodies, traversing Yin and Yang, heading straight for the Netherworld. They hadn't yet breathed their last, but their souls had already left their bodies. They were still alive, but their lives had already returned to the underworld. First, collect the souls, then take the lives. Not a step more, not a step less. A perfect fit, without the slightest error. This is the rule of the Heaven-Locking Array. This is the destiny of the Eighth Phase. The moment the flames of the Eighth Phase ignited, the Netherworld was utterly on the verge of collapse. The Underworld, the place where Yin and Yang meet, the place of reincarnation, the resting place of souls, was governed by the Ten Kings of Hell, with Judge Cui judging life and death, underworld officials locking souls, and Meng Po severing past lives—orderly and unchanging for eternity. But from the Fourth Phase onwards, the order of the Underworld began to crumble step by step. The Book of Life and Death rewrote itself. The boundary between Yin and Yang was broken. Souls left their bodies prematurely. Reincarnation was completely chaotic.
