Hellish Dungeons: A Mental Patient Turns the Underworld Upside Down

In the Age of Declining Dharma, humanity's only way to ascend to immortality is to wait for the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month each year.

On the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, the gates of hell open, and the Hell dungeon descends.

Every contestant selected must undergo the Underworld's trials, which are livestreamed worldwide.

Those who pass the dungeon's tests will attain the Dao and ascend, rising straight from the Underworld to the Celestial Court.

Legal whiz: I know the law inside out and have studied the laws of Heaven. I can help the Underworld effectively evade taxes. Pick me!

Performance champion: I can reap over a hundred lives in one day. Who would you pick if not me?

The mentally ill Qin Lang looks at the Yama King.

“Hey, old man with boils on your head, your clothes don't look as good as my blue-and-white striped outfit!”

Just as everyone thinks the Yama King will toss Qin Lang into a cauldron of boiling oil,

They discover that the Yama King treats Qin Lang exceptionally well.

“Qin Lang, don't use a toilet plunger to suck out people's souls. Use a soul-reaping hook.”

“Qin Lang, be on time for roll call. You'll get your pay docked if you're late.”

“Qin Lang, when everyone's offering you a drink, please don't go pee in the corner.”

Faced with the Yama King's patient guidance,

Qin Lang doesn't take in a single word.
