The Netherworld Merchant, Saint of Wealth

In the modern city, Zhou Yu was an ordinary man, yet he carried the secret identity of the last survivor of the Human Emperor’s bloodline. Billions of years ago, he was the husband of A Li, daughter of Houtu, the supreme goddess of the Netherworld. Lucifer, lord of the Western Hell, and Satan, lord of demons, plot to descend upon the mortal world by possessing the body of the Pope in the Vatican. Their scheme sparks a wave of demonic possessions in the West, leaving exorcists and nuns dead and cutting off contact between Heaven and the mortal realm. At the same time, evil spirits from Southeast Asia and the hundred ghosts of Dongying also emerge. Their true target is the underworld of Eastern Huaxia. The outer order of the Netherworld collapses. The Road to the Yellow Springs is severed, the Bridge of Helplessness crumbles, and countless evil spirits roam the mortal world, bringing devastation to all living things. Houtu struggles to hold on, using the Three Lives Stone and the Six Paths Wheel of Reincarnation to form a defensive array. Through the Six Paths Wheel of Reincarnation, A Li finds Zhou Yu and tells him that the Netherworld is in danger and humanity faces a great calamity. Only the Human Emperor’s return can save the Three Realms. The female ghost Wanfang and the little cat demon Xiaobailing, both close to Zhou Yu, join them as well. However, Zhou Yu is weak in the early stages, and as he evades the pursuit of evil Western forces and, later, the forces of Heaven, he struggles to protect those around him. Wanfang secretly falls in love with Zhou Yu, forming a love triangle with A Li. Zhou Yu and the others believe the Western forces are the masterminds, unaware that Heaven is pulling the strings behind the scenes. As the Netherworld’s defensive array nears collapse, Zhou Yu has less and less time to awaken the Human Emperor’s power. Through one crisis and challenge after another, Zhou Yu’s resilience, along with the help of A Li, Wanfang, Xiaobailing, and their allies, gradually awakens that power. In the end, he exposes Heaven’s conspiracy, defeats the evil forces on all sides, saves the Three Realms, and establishes a new order.
