    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.
