The demonhead saber dragged along the ground with a soft rustling sound. It was quiet and stifling, causing hundreds of Yin spirits to tremble uncontrollably.
"Who gave you the gall to make such a ruckus in front of Hell's Gate?!"
"Do you think Hell is still the same as the mortal realm?!
I'm still going to talk to you about human rights!! "
She raised her voice at the very end, and the demonhead saber swung through the crowd. The first few people to stand up screamed miserably as they transformed into wisps of Yin energy.
"You're still too gentle." The demonhead saber was already in Arthis' hands, and she smiled faintly at everyone.
Silence.
Every single Yin spirit was trembling. Arthis smiled faintly, and the demonhead saber gently swung through the air.
BOOM!!!
Her movements were gentle.
However, the entire space around her suddenly felt as though it had been compressed. All of the Yin spirits felt their hair stand on end, and a pressure that they had never experienced before filled the entire space!
It was the might of an Infernal Judge!
A split second later, hundreds of miserable screams rang out one after another. Countless Yin spirits vanished, and hundreds of spots of netherflames soared into the air and flew into the hall. In an instant, the entire hall was filled with a brilliant green light!
Hundreds of lamps were instantly lit up.
The entire hall was instantly emptied out.
"Remember."
Her voice was calm, almost as though she were doing something she was used to doing, "Here, you only have one sky, and one master."
"Him!
He's your sky. "She pointed at Qin Ye," Anyone who dares to disobey shall be killed without question. "
"This is the law of this place."
"Do you understand?!!"
Her last five words caused the entire new Hell to tremble.
The remaining Yin spirits were those who hadn't charged through Hell's Gate earlier. They trembled as they prostrated themselves on the ground and screamed at the top of their lungs, "We understand!"
Some of them even began to cry.
"This is what it means to be despicable."
Arthis muttered placidly, "Do you really think I'm going to talk to you about the law?"
"In this place, he is the law.
It doesn't matter if you're the richest man in the world, or the provincial governor or secretary of a province. Once you're here, remember to be respectful. "
She returned the saber to Qin Ye and whispered, "This time, I'll give you a demonstration. The next time, I won't be coming."
Qin Ye nodded and took a step back. Arthis' robes fluttered slightly as she stared coldly at the hundreds of Yin spirits gathered around her, "Now, I'd like all those who specialized in drawing and design to step forward."
The Yin spirits exchanged glances, but none of them stood up.
"No?"
Arthis' voice remained unchanged as she continued, "All Yin spirits who founded their own companies when they were still alive, and who specialize in construction, step forward."
Still no one.
Arthis raised an eyebrow quizzically, "Those who have worked for the government before their deaths, or have served as a district or district office staff, step forward."
All of the Yin spirits trembled slightly. Ten seconds later, five figures slowly rose to their feet.
"You, you, and you."
Arthis casually pointed with her finger and divided the army into five groups, "Sixty people will form a group. These people will lead the way, and we'll begin the exploration."
Pioneering?
The Yin spirits glanced at each other in bewilderment. Then, one of the Yin spirits who appeared to be in his fifties spoke up respectfully, "M-my lord … how are we going to explore?"
Arthis drew a circle in the air, "With Hell's Gate as the epicenter, all trees within a radius of three square kilometers shall be chopped down, and the ground shall be leveled!
The next time I return, I'll bring you the tools you need.
In the meantime, you'll be given the time to organize your own teams.
If something like this happens again … or if you dare to slack off … "
Whoosh … A gust of nethergale swept through the surroundings, and the netherflames in the surroundings trembled slightly. She continued with a cold voice, "Then … none of you shall live any longer."
She smiled faintly, and her voice softened, yet it was as cold as a bone-chilling winter in the ears of the Yin spirits, "You'll truly be reduced to ashes.
I guarantee that not a single trace of your soul will be left behind. "
"Do you know what you're going to do?"
"Yes, my lord!
We understand! "" Rest assured, my lord. We'll make sure to organize our men well! "At once, the five selected Yin spirits responded with great determination.
Arthis led Qin Ye straight towards Hell's Gate. Not a single one of the hundreds of Yin spirits dared to look up.
They were afraid.
They were truly afraid.
The ruler of Hell was far more vicious than the ruler of the mortal realm.
In fact, they were so vicious that there was no room for negotiation at all.
Refusal?
Then they could only die.
"Remember, kill anyone who doesn't follow the rules.
Are you afraid that there are too few Yin spirits?
As long as humans aren't extinct, there will only be more and more Yin spirits. "
As soon as they entered Hell's Gate, Arthis explained solemnly, "Hell has just been established, and all of Cathay's Yin spirits will be able to sense it. Not all of them may be aware of the exact location of this place, but those who can sense it will definitely be in the minority."
Qin Ye's eyes flickered. Arthis didn't go into detail. She appeared to be hinting to him that it didn't matter how many Yin spirits he killed. But how could he not understand the underlying meaning behind her words?
The first time he had summoned Yin spirits, there had already been a small-scale uprising. If the number of Yin spirits in Hell continued to grow, and Hell hadn't yet been properly established … then he would no longer be in control of Hell!
Manpower!
Material resources!
Right now, he needed these two things more than anything else.
It was only after taking over that he realized how difficult it was to set a target of a hundred million RMB in the real estate industry.
Now that he thought about it, Arthis's previous questions were all well-founded. The establishment of any city was first and foremost about the people, and then about the basic necessities of life. If he didn't let the citizens of Hell live on, then he would most certainly not be able to establish a proper government.
Qin Ye glanced at the Yin spirits outside, and sighed weakly, "We're currently in the period of land development for the new city. The first priority is to resettle the Yin spirits.
If we want to resettle the Yin spirits, we'll need to prepare the land.
If we want to prepare the land, we'll need an engineering team.
If we want to support an engineering team, we'll need tools … sawhorses, excavators, shovels, cranes … How much would all of this cost? "
"Hang on …" Arthis was somewhat bewildered, "Automatic tree cutting machines?
Excavators?
Cranes?
What's that that I don't know about? "
"Ah … it's something that a person sits on, with a large saw in front of them. With a press of a button, they'll chop down an entire tree. It's fast and light … Don't tell me you don't know about it?"
Qin Ye stared at Arthis in astonishment, and Arthis stared back at Qin Ye with widened eyes.
Seconds later, she coughed awkwardly, "There are indeed some small changes compared to the hundred thousand conscripted laborers we had hundreds of years ago …"
Small changes?
"I say, can you stop binge-watching dramas on the internet? Can you at least keep up with the times …"
"That's not the point!"
Arthis interjected forcefully, "The point is … you can rest assured about manpower. Six out of the ten positions are related to the real estate industry. The number of employees in the mortal realm has already exploded. It won't be long before you have enough supervisors and workers to form a construction team.
But! "
She drew a deep breath, "There are very few people in modern times who are proficient in ancient architecture."
"Hang on." It was Qin Ye's turn to interject, "Ancient architecture?"
"Of course." Arthis raised her eyebrows, "Do you think Hell's buildings are the same as those in the mortal realm?
Do you really think that a building can operate just by hanging a sign on it?
No. Every building in Hell is a magic artifact, and there are automatic array patterns circulating within it. You don't just need the architectural plans, you also need to design how to embed these array patterns into the plans.
Why do you need Yin spirit stones?
Only Yin energy can fully activate these array patterns. "
"If you look at modern architectural plans, the structure is fundamentally different from that of ancient buildings.
The array patterns of the past can't be used at all.
Look at Hell's Gate, it's already capable of holding back millions of Yin spirits at bay.
Do you really want a building that you've painstakingly built to be immediately taken over by a riot? "
Qin Ye gazed at the sky and heaved a sigh of relief.
'What the f * ck is going on …'
The establishment of a city was a mess, and there were so many things to be done that he couldn't even begin to make sense of.
He massaged his temples, picked up a piece of paper from the table, gnashed his teeth and wrote, "Design Institute: Architectural Design Plans."
His handwriting was pretty good. He pinched the space between his eyebrows and painfully listed down the list: "Excavator, sawmill, engineering genius, construction team …"
"There's also accounting and planning staff. Even if the blueprints are out, how much ghost energy will it take?
How much wood?
Bricks?
And others … Oh, that's right, there's also the temporary housing for the Yin spirits. If you don't satisfy them, they might riot at any moment … "Arthis added as she watched Qin Ye gnash his teeth.
"Is there really no possibility of resigning?
I don't think I'm up to the task … "
"Is there any use in talking about these things now?" Arthis also had a splitting headache. It was only when she got down to it that she realized how difficult it was to start from scratch.
—
After writing for a full half an hour, the two of them discussed non-stop and finally listed out the ghost power and machinery that they needed to start with.
Qin Ye's eyelids twitched as he held the few sheets of paper in his hands.
That said, even though it was still incredibly complicated, he had at least sorted out the most important and secondary items.
First, construction machinery.
Second, design plans.
Without these two prerequisites, it would be game over once the number of Yin spirits in Hell began to pile up.
"Let's go back."
Qin Ye frowned, "Go online and find out how much these machines cost. Also, how are we going to send them to Hell even if we manage to buy them?"
"Burn them.
I'll draw a few talismans and stick them on, then burn them all the way to Hell … Oh, that's right, we'll also need to rent an incinerator. Hurry up and add them … "
"... I shouldn't have asked this question!"
He pulled out another shard of King Yanluo's Seal and was just about to circulate his Yin energy when he suddenly paused, and then quickly walked out of Hell's Gate and made his way towards the edge of the continent.
The region where the new Hell was located was like a suspended mountain. Everything within a radius of five square kilometers was filled with dense Yin energy.
The Yin energy was bone-chilling and filled with resentment. It wasn't something that he could enter right now.
Fortunately, the road leading to the new Hell led straight to the edge of the continent.
He walked to the edge of the continent and peered down.
Thousands of meters below, the massive Harken was snoring softly. The Yin energy emanating from its body was visible to the naked eye, forming a massive pillar of Yin energy that shot straight into the new Hell. Wisps of frigid Yin energy were dispelled with every passing moment, while Hell continued to expand and expand. It was slow, but it didn't stop.
The black Incense of Paramnesia next to the Harken bloomed brilliantly like an ocean, swaying gently as the Harken breathed.
It was only then that Qin Ye heaved a sigh of relief. With a single thought, his body transformed into a speck of jade-green soulfire that shot straight into the sky.
