The Last Sword Bearer

What is "ghost"? Ghosts are not dead souls, but actually evil spirits: As you said, there are no ghosts in the traditional sense. The so-called "demons" are entities transformed from human obsessions, sins and desires - they can be called "karma" or "inner demons". Immortals are not innocent either: those immortals who sit high in the sky and enjoy incense are also entangled with human desires and paranoia under their divinity. Their "godhead" may be a cage forged by the beliefs and fears of billions of mortals. If immortals have evil thoughts in their hearts, their karma will be even more terrifying and turn into "divine evil". Underworld, a decadent bureaucracy: Underworld is not a place of justice that maintains balance, but a giant yamen with bloated institutions, rigid procedures, and confusing accounts. Its core function is no longer to distinguish right from wrong, but to "maintain stability", even if this stability is based on countless unjust and wrongful convictions.
