Hell Emperor.

Chapter 311: Shura Jie - Fiery Oil Pan
"Wait...what just happened? How did the oil pan come out by itself?"

The noise of the oil pan appearing scared Shi Zuo. He walked around the oil pan left and right with an expression of disbelief, not understanding what was going on.

It would obviously take several years to build a flaming oil pan, but it appeared before their eyes in the blink of an eye. It was impossible not to be surprised.

Shi You seemed much calmer. He looked at Ye Jie with eyes full of admiration: "This... This is a gift from heaven, a miracle! The Palace Master has just taken office and has received this miracle. The Golden Wheel Palace will surely prosper and last forever. Under the guidance of the Fiery Oil Pan, we will all move towards a brighter future!"

Ye Jie seemed very calm. Having already seen the extraordinary power of the seven-sided stitching pages, he quickly accepted this result.

Contained within the seven stitched pages is the power of the legendary first-grade divine artifact, the Book of Life and Death.

As a document-type artifact, the greatest ability of the Book of Life and Death is to directly interfere with, or modify reality by modifying the archive records in the book, thereby achieving

Things that seem incredible in the eyes of others, whether it is improving the level of martial arts or directly adding buildings to the Yama Palace, these things that seem difficult for ordinary people to understand can be done easily.

"Thanks to the seven stitching pages, I have saved myself the trouble of building a building. Now the oil pot has been built. I just need to put the bone pieces into it for smelting, and then I can continuously produce steel bones..."

"In order to further increase the output of steel bones and avoid wasting resources, I'd better save 50,000 kilograms of steel bones first, build the Bone Casting Hall, and then consider building other buildings such as the Document Hall."

"According to the efficiency of the Fiery Oil Pan, 50,000 kilograms of steel bones would require 500 million kilograms of bone fragments to smelt... Let alone where to find so many bone fragments. Even if I really have so many bone fragments, how long will it take to smelt them all? It's impossible that the Seven-Sided Suture Page can modify even the resource output..."

Ye Jie felt a headache when he thought about the time smelting might take.

Five hundred million jin of bone fragments is not a small number. If they were piled up, it would become a mountain. Even if a ghost fairy were asked to move it, it would not be easy. The flaming oil pan is so small that it would take at least ten days or half a month to smelt it all.

Ye Jie lowered his head and looked at the seven stitched pages in his hand. As his mind moved, the answer to the question soon appeared on the seven stitched pages.

[When there are sufficient manpower and resources, the Fiery Oil Pot can produce up to 1,000 kilograms of steel bones and 10 grudges per day. ]

"One thousand kilograms? Wouldn't it take at least fifty days to accumulate fifty thousand kilograms of steel bones?"

"Due to the change of the Palace Master, the Return to the Sun Festival has been postponed for a month. But even if a month passes, I can only save up 30,000 kilograms of steel bones at most, and this is without considering other situations..."

The corner of Ye Jie's mouth twitched. He had waited for a whole month but couldn't even build the Bone Casting Hall. He was really depressed.

"Wait... Since one Fiery Oil Pot is not efficient enough, can't I just build a few more? As long as there are enough manpower and resources, one more Fiery Oil Pot can double the efficiency."

Thinking of this, Ye Jie's eyes lit up.

With the seven stitching pages, he could complete the construction of the underworld building immediately, saving a lot of tedious waiting time.

Since one flaming oil pot is not enough, building a few more will meet the demand. Before the Bone Casting Hall is built, this is the only way to make do.

"The most important thing now is to solve the problem of insufficient bone chips. As long as there are enough bone chips, the Bone Casting Hall will be completed in no time. Let me see if there is any building that can produce bone chips..."

[Bone Storage Hall: In the name of Yama Palace, a bone storage hall is built, and the position of bone burial ghost messenger can be set up. The bone burial ghost messenger will collect bone fragments from the mortal remains according to the stationed area. The higher the level of the bone burial ghost messenger, the larger the stationed area, and the more bone fragments can be collected every day. Construction requires 200,000 Yin De. ]

"Bone Burying Ghost Messenger..."

Looking at the words on the seven stitched pages, Ye Jie touched his chin, and memories of the past came to his mind. He remembered that there was a huge bone storage hall built in the Guangwang Palace.

In the past, Ye Jie had been a ghost catcher for many years and had also dealt with the bone-burying ghost catcher.

In this world, every day and every night, or even every moment, living beings experience death and rebirth.

The mortal world has existed for so many years, and countless living beings have lived in it. Logically speaking, the corpses of all living things should have piled up into a mountain. It would seem that every step we take is to step on the remains of the dead in the past.

But the reality is that the world is well-ordered, and even in the wilderness, corpses are rarely seen, as if death had never come.

Some say that the earth beneath people's feet swallowed up the remains of the dead and cleaned up the mess after death, while others say that wild beasts devoured the bones without leaving a trace.

But Ye Jie knew that these statements were inaccurate. The real situation was that the ghosts who buried the bones cleaned up the bones of the dead and brought them back to the underworld as an important resource for the construction of the underworld. Whether it was a human or a monster, the bones after death were all like this.

As I recall, the bone-burying ghost was a very easy job because he could stay in one place for a long time and didn't have to run around everywhere. He was only responsible for picking up bone fragments every day.

Many ghost messengers who have poor talents, no hope of breaking through, and have lost hope in cultivation will choose to voluntarily transfer to the position of burying bones ghost messenger. Since burying bones ghost messengers cannot guide souls, the salary they receive is much lower than that of ordinary ghost messengers.

Ye Jie also considered becoming a bone-burying ghost messenger, but the bone-burying ghost messenger was not responsible for guiding souls, so he finally gave up.

Even though he was in a low state and was poor, Ye Jie never gave up guiding souls. Even if he was only doing his bit, he hoped that other ghosts would have good memories when they reincarnated, instead of being completely disappointed with this dirty world.

Now, Ye Jie has become the Lord of Yama Palace and has enough ability to change the world. How to deal with the souls after death is all up to him.

Building a bone-burying hall does not require any additional resources, as long as the good deeds are sufficient. However, the selection of the ghost messenger to bury the bones is a headache for Ye Jie.

In the huge Golden Wheel Palace, there are only two available ghost officials, Shi Zuo and Shi You. Although Ye Jie has become the master of the Golden Wheel Palace, the original ghost officials have either died or fled. In addition, there are few people in the Golden Wheel Palace to begin with, and now there are simply few people available. This undoubtedly gives Ye Jie a headache.

Ye Jie lowered his eyes. In addition to the bone storage hall, there were other buildings that could also be used to produce bone fragments.

[A mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​bones (unlocked on five sides): The corpses form a mountain and the bones form a sea. This is the final destination of the remains and also a wonder of the Yama Palace. Within the jurisdiction of the Yama Palace, qualified bones will gather here and produce bone pieces. Construction requires 5 million Yin De and 100 resentments. ]

"Wait... this sea of ​​corpses and bones is much more convenient than the bone burial hall." Seeing the information about the sea of ​​corpses and bones, Ye Jie couldn't help but feel happy.

As an advanced underworld building that requires five main ledgers to unlock, the effect of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​bones can be said to surpass the bone storage hall in all aspects. Not only does it not need to set up a position of bone burying ghost, it does not need to rely on manpower to slowly collect bone fragments. Even the collection range has been expanded to all the territories under the jurisdiction of the Yama Palace. It can be said that a mountain of corpses and sea of ​​bones alone is enough to meet the bone fragment needs of the entire Yama Palace.

However, Ye Jie still had no idea how many bone fragments could be gathered from the sea of ​​corpses and bones, and he didn't know what the words "meet the conditions" meant.
As if sensing Ye Jie's confusion, a series of new information soon appeared on the seven stitched pages.

[Bone fragment collection: Only bones whose death cycle exceeds the life span and are not buried in coffins or tombs can be collected. ]

Seeing this information, Ye Jie couldn't help but frown.

The death cycle exceeds the lifespan, which means that if someone lives for a hundred years, one must wait until a hundred years after his death before his bone fragments can be collected and used to build underworld buildings.

In addition, no matter how many years have passed since the death of a living being who is properly buried and protected by a coffin and a mausoleum, its bones cannot be collected and taken away.

"One hundred years... this is too long to wait. As the Lord of Yama Palace, can't I make these rules more to my liking?"

Ye Jie curled his lips. A hundred years was too long. In his opinion, when a person dies, it is like a light goes out. The soul enters the underworld and the body is no longer useful. If no one comes to bury the body after waiting for twenty or thirty years, it will undoubtedly be a pile of waste bones and can be used as bone fragments.

On the seven stitched pages, neat words appeared again:

[The administrative options for bone fragment collection were set by the previous hall master.]

[To modify administrative options, you need the Hades building: the Document Hall. 】

"The Office of Documents?"

The corner of Ye Jie's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that after going around in circles, he ended up back at the building he wanted to build from the beginning, which was the Document Hall.

According to the description on the seven stitched pages, the Document Hall will play a vital role in the development of Yama Hall. Without the Document Hall, development would be difficult, and even slight changes to the rules would be impossible. It seems that all the rules of Yama Hall can only be recognized by the whole world if they are written down in black and white and displayed in the hall.

"Without steel bones, we can't build the Hall of Documents. Let's build this sea of ​​bones first. I don't know how many bone fragments Dongsheng Shenzhou has accumulated over the past hundred years."

"It takes five million Yin De to build a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​bones... I just became the Lord of Yama Palace and haven't enjoyed any benefits yet, but I've already invested several million Yin De. It's really..."

Ye Jie held his forehead helplessly. Thanks to the good deeds of the previous Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace, all the merits now belonged to him. Otherwise, he really didn't know where to get the good deeds.

In the past, even hundreds of thousands of Yin De were considered a huge sum of money in Ye Jie's eyes. Now, when it comes to constructing the underworld buildings, millions of Yin De are taken out without him blinking an eye. After experiencing all the things that happened before, his horizons have become broader.

"In addition to Yin De, you also need one hundred grudges... I remember that the flaming oil pan can produce grudges."

As if he thought of something, Ye Jie's eyes fell on the huge oil pan beside him.

At the same time, new prompts appeared on the seven stitched pages:

[For every one hundred wandering souls being roasted in the flaming oil pan, one resentment is expected to be generated, with a maximum of ten resentments generated per day.]

"One hundred souls for one resentment? In other words, I have to get at least a thousand wandering souls and throw them into the oil pan to produce ten resentments?"

Ye Jie was stunned. This resentment would not come out of thin air. It could only be produced by throwing the wandering soul into the oil pan and making it suffer painful torture. Just one wandering soul was not enough. It must be thousands of them.

This really put Ye Jie in a very difficult position.

Ye Jie was undoubtedly unwilling to throw all the wandering souls into the oil pan. He hoped that those evil ghosts who did evil would pay the price, but he would not vent his anger on ordinary wandering souls. How could he let innocent wandering souls suffer in fire just for the sake of resentment?

Ye Jie sighed. If any other cold-blooded Yama was here, for the sake of the development of Yama Palace, he would probably throw a necessary number of wandering souls into the oil pan without saying a word, regardless of their merits and demerits in their lives, no matter what good things they had done, or what crimes they had committed. As long as it could increase the output of resentment, he would do so without hesitation.

"It seems that the issue of wandering souls is more troublesome than building buildings..."

Ye Jie sighed. If he continued at this rate, it would take who knows how long to gather enough resentment to build a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​bones. Now there wasn't even a soul ready to be thrown into the frying pan. Where could he find a thousand ghosts that met the requirements?
Just when Ye Jie was in a dilemma, Shi You seemed to have discovered something and said to Ye Jie, "Palace Master, do you want to demolish all the golden wheels built by the previous palace master?"

"Turning the golden wheel?"

Ye Jie was slightly stunned before he realized that the Golden Wheel mentioned by Shi You was the most special building in the Golden Wheel Palace. He didn't know whether the Golden Wheel came first and then the Golden Wheel Palace, or the Golden Wheel Palace came first and then the Golden Wheel.

Ye Jie was also very curious about the power of the Golden Wheel. He didn't know what other functions it had besides being able to send ghosts to reincarnate. He couldn't help but ask: "What is the use of this Golden Wheel?"

To his surprise, he did not find any hints about the Golden Wheel on the seven stitched pages, but only saw the Golden Wheel in the columns of existing buildings.

Shi You was embarrassed for a while, and finally answered after a while: "This Golden Wheel was the pride of the previous Golden Wheel Palace Master. I heard that it is inextricably linked to the mysterious King Kong City ruins... As for what this Golden Wheel is used for, I am ashamed to say that I am just a stone lion guarding the palace and I don't know its purpose."

"Yeah……"

Ye Jie shook his head and did not feel any difficulty about Shi You because he did not know the effect of turning the golden wheel.

Even the seven stitched pages did not show any information about the turning golden wheel. It was understandable that Shi You did not know the function of this thing.

The inquiry was fruitless, which instead aroused Ye Jie's curiosity even more. The Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace went to great lengths to build a large number of rotating golden wheels, which was obviously not without purpose. This thing must be of great use.
