Chapter 437: Chapter 394, Alarming the Underworld

City God looked at the three unusually eager divine beings with inward vigilance, sensing something very strange and amiss with these gods today.

Mountain God extended his hand and said with a smile, "City God, we can begin the Mahjong game now."

City God pondered briefly and decided to respond unchangingly to the myriad changes. He nodded and replied with a smile, "Very well! Then let’s play a few rounds for fun."

With a sweep of his hand, a pile of round, white beads appeared, exuding a tranquil fragrance. He looked at the three divine beings, half-mocking, half-smiling. Haven’t you ever seen so much power of faith?

City God chuckled heartily and said, "This little amount of Faith Beads is just for a bit of fun. If the three Divine Friends have the ability, then win them over!"

Mountain God exclaimed in astonishment, "Divine Friend, you’re still using Faith Beads?"

Land covered his nose and mouth, frowning as he said, "This scent is so pungent it gives me a headache!"

River God also commented, "Faith Beads, huh! Those have become quite rare now."

City God was perplexed by their reactions. Frowning unhappily, he asked, "What do you mean by this, my Divine Friends? Are you deliberately making fun of me?"

Water God hurriedly explained, "Divine Friend, you may not be aware, but we Heavenly Court Gods have long since stopped using Faith Beads and are now using Faith Coins."

Mountain God grasped and revealed a handful of Faith Coins in his hand, slowly opening his palm as the coins clinked onto the table.

Mountain God lamented, "We’ve long abandoned those outdated Faith Beads, for absorbing Faith Beads would merely taint our Divine Sense."

A flash of indignation crossed City God’s mind. Outdated Faith Beads? Who was it that begged to borrow Faith Beads from me back then?!

Land pinched and produced a Faith Coin, "Faith Coins are indeed better—natural and non-irritating."

Water God also pinched up a Faith Coin, puzzled, "Is the Underworld still using the outdated Faith Beads?"

Mountain God sighed, "City God, the Underworld needs to keep up with the times!"

City God snorted coldly, grabbed a Faith Coin, and felt the pure power of faith within it. He then glanced at his own Faith Beads, his expression changing rapidly as he vanished in a flash, no longer in the mood to even collect the beads.

Mountain God, Land, and River God exchanged glances and burst into hearty laughter, thoroughly amused by the delightful outcome.

Land asked with interest, "Who shall we invite next?"

River God hastily said, "I know the Underworld Yin Cha—Oxhead and Horseface."

Mountain God exclaimed excitedly, "Let’s invite them! Come, let’s continue planning how to act; our previous attempt was still a bit too forced."

In the time that followed, the Heaven and Earth Human Bank spread widely across the Three Realms and became known to all gods.

...

Inside the Qing Guang King Palace of the Underworld, King Qinguang sat on his throne, dealing with memorials, as the sound of a commotion echoed from outside.

King Qinguang frowned slightly and, tossing the memorial on the desk, demanded authoritatively, "What is this noisy commotion about?"

A female demon with two horns on her head walked into the hall from outside and reported respectfully, "Reporting to Emperor, it’s said to be due to the Heavenly Court’s implementation of the Incense Money system, but I do not fully understand the specifics."

King Qinguang commanded steadily, "Summon the Business Judge to see me!"

"Yes!" the demon responded respectfully, retreating out of Qing Guang King Palace, vanishing in a puff of black smoke.

Moments later, a neat and clean man entered the hall, bowed, and said respectfully, "Greetings, Emperor!"

King Qinguang asked with authority, "Why is there such an incessant commotion outside?"

The Business Judge rose and reported respectfully, "Reporting to Emperor, the Heavenly Court’s Wealth God has returned to his position and established a new department called the Heaven and Earth Human Bank. The bank intercepts the Heavenly Court Gods’ power of faith, refines it into Faith Money, and issues it as salary to all Heavenly Court Gods."

After the Heavenly Court Gods descended to the Lower Realm, they flaunted their presence before our Underworld Yin Gods, leading to widespread dissatisfaction among them.

King Qinguang snorted coldly, and his tremendous voice boomed like a thunderbolt within the Qing Guang King Palace, intimidating to the soul.

The Business Judge immediately bent his waist, most respectfully, the air in the great hall filled with heavy pressure.

King Qinguang said coldly: "You Yin Gods are tasked with patrolling the Yin Yang, remaining indifferent to gains and losses. Now, all this cacophony over but a trifle of the Power of Faith, where is your stern dignity? This surely merits severe punishment!"

The Business Judge hurriedly knelt within the great hall, "We have sinned!"

King Qinguang spoke with authority: "A little benefit has disturbed your minds, are you still capable of carrying the heavy responsibilities of the Underworld?"

The Business Judge hesitated, then spoke with reverence: "Reporting to the Emperor, the Heaven and Earth Human Bank, as legend has it, was established by Emperor Gouchen to balance the faith of the Main Gods, seeking welfare for the Divine who have long been unable to descend from the Heavenly Court.

In the Underworld too, there are many Divine who, having dwelt long in the Underworld, cannot walk in the Mortal World. Naturally, hearing such news, they feel aggrieved. Why should the Heavenly Court Gods have benefits that we in the Underworld do not? After all, Emperor Gouchen is also our Emperor of Supervision.

Furthermore, the Yin Gods who have faith in the Mortal World strongly demand the establishment of a bank to issue coins in the Underworld. In comparison to Faith Coins, the messy and sundry Faith Beads are indeed inferior."

"It’s actually Bai Jin," King Qinguang muttered, frowning, then asked: "Do you have Faith Coins?"

The Business Judge raised a Faith Coin, speaking respectfully: "Emperor, this is the Faith Coin promoted by the Heavenly Court."

The Faith Coin floated towards King Qinguang, who caught it in his hand, surprised: "It has not a hint of chaotic thoughts."

"This is the very reason the Yin Gods so crave it."

"You may leave now; I shall decide on this matter myself."

"Yes!" The Business Judge rose, retreating respectfully and left the Qing Guang King Palace.

King Qinguang’s figure vanished in a flash.

Within a void of space, the figures of various Emperors congealed.

King Qinguang’s grand voice echoed: "The Heavenly Court has recently initiated a Heaven and Earth Human Bank, are you all aware of it?"

The Reincarnation King answered: "Of course we are aware, the Faith Coins are very pure."

King Yanluo spoke: "Such pure Faith Coins are also greatly beneficial to us."

The authoritative voice of King Chujiang: "As an Emperor of Supervision of the Underworld, Bai Jin should introduce the Heaven and Earth Human Bank to our Underworld."

King Yanluo said: "Bai Jin is not one we can command."

The Reincarnation King added: "Only the Lady can command Bai Jin! But who shall visit the Lady?"

All nine Emperors simultaneously turned their gaze toward King Qinguang.

King Qinguang unconsciously stepped back, "What are you all looking at me for?"

"You are the eldest brother, it is naturally you who should go!"

"Eldest brother, you have the most understanding of the Heaven and Earth Human Bank, of course it is you who should go!"

"The Faith Coins are with you, naturally, it is you who should go!"

...

Enraged, King Qinguang shouted: "Don’t you all also know about the Heaven and Earth Human Bank?"

All nine Emperors shook their heads in unison, their voices in harmony: "What is the Heaven and Earth Human Bank? We do not know of it, alas!"

King Qinguang laughed out of sheer frustration: "You truly have no shame!"
