THE JUDGEMENT BOOK

Yama was delighted to see this book once again, he felt like his long lost brother has returned, but Yama was now frowning seeing the book in front of him.

' What in the world? This book ain't mine! What are these extra nonsense.'

The Judgement book usually displays a persons life story and the amount of sins the person has committed. Only after going through all this information, Yama makes a decision on whether to send the person to the netherworld or not.

If a person has committed a massacre of tens of thousands of innocent people, this will not be pardoned and will be sent to the straight to the Upper Netherworld, where the torture levels will be higher, to make them experience the exact feeling of how the people he has massacred would have felt.

The current Judgement book has the usual information of the persons life story and their fate. The fate of the person is only displayed when the person has not died. It also now has an additional information displayed on the book.

Name: Yu Yan

Age: 8 years and 10 Months

Additional Information: Will die in 2 months, and will be sent straight to the Lower Netherworld.

Yama was furious after seeing this information displayed. Yama already knew her fate, she will die in 2 months because he initially saw her in Hell Hall when she was 9 years old, but what Yama did not like to see is the fact that she will be sent straight to the Lower Netherworld. Even though the Lower Netherworld consists of less torture, it is still a place consisting of people who have committed sins and each month the punishment is death and resurrection.

'Since I am currently not in Hell Hall, it looks like she will be sent straight to the Netherworld. Let me have a look through her life story again.'

Yama thought to himself as he placed his finger on her name on the page, he was suddenly pulled into an illusion displaying Yu Yan's life story. The illusion displayed her birth and what happened when she was young, her father left her mother due to a different lady.

Her mother came ill when Yu Yan was really young at the age 4. Her mother was working very hard and went through the same torture as Yu Yan is going through right now in order to survive and make her daughter grow. The life story literally displayed both daughter and mother being bullied and abused by others. Yama not wanting to look anymore got out of the illusion.

'How can a girl like her, who went through so many hardships go straight to the Netherworld, I Yama, The Lord of Hell and God of Death can control the fate of others, and I decide who goes where. You don't worry girl. I will get you out of this mess' Yama was pondering over how he can change her fate when he suddenly heard Yu Yan...

"Ye Ji gege what is that book your holding?"

Yama was taken back when he heard this.

"Yu Yan, can you really see this book? What colour is it? What does it say ?"

"Is a gold color, but I can't see the name it is too blurry."

"Ok, this a personal diary of mine so do not tell anyone about this ok."

" But why is it sooooo huge! Ye Ji gege are you writing a very long story? "

"Yu Yan this book is a long story of me and you" Yama was thinking this girl is so cute. She obviously thinks just because the book is wide and long that I'm writing a long story.

"Is it... Can I read it?" Yu Yan got happy and wanted to read what Ye Ji wrote.

"Yu Yan I will let you read it when I am finished, so be a good girl and don't ask me until I am ready to show you ok?"

"OK, Ye Ji gege" Yu Yan was very happy that she was going to read it when it is finished.

'It looks like the Judgement book has turned visible, I need to switch this off even though the Judgement book is different to what she has described, it can still bring danger to me as currently, I am not yet strong enough to protect myself.

The worse part is if someone got hold of the Judgement book they will not be able to open it regardless of how strong they are, as only the Lord of Hell has the ability to open the book so I can imagine myself getting captured and being tortured. Greed is the main reason that drives people to commit sins. The other plus point about the Judgement book is that no matter where the book is I can summon it straight away.

I also need to find a way to stop Yu Yan from dying in 2 months, I would have to keep a close watch on her, she must have been plotted against that has turned into her doing a sin that went undetectable and the only way that will happen is with a use of an artefact but how in the world did someone get an heaven-defying artefact that can erase her life story in the Judgement Book. This girl may have more of a back story that even she doesn't know about.

I wonder what other effects the Judgement Book has now since it is totally different from what I had back in the Hell Hall. The main important stuff I need to do now is to know more about this world, I know this world is totally different from the human world. This world relies on cultivation, martial arts and magic. Only the strong are respected here.'

"Ye Ji gege... aren't you going to pay respect to the ancestor ?" Yu Yan curiously when she saw Yama dazed for a while.

" Ahh.. I will be going in a while " Yama replied. Yama knew this was something that Ye Ji done every week after looking through his memories, Yama also found out that Ye Ji was poisoned which was what led Yama to be transmigrated into his body, so it will be suspicious if Yama did not do things that Ye Ji usually does.

He also knows from his memories that the ancestor Ye Yong was an undefeated top expert across the Blue Long Kingdom. He travelled across different places stamping his name in the history books. This was the main reason why the Ye clan is one of the top 4 clans and is respected through out the Kingdom.

Yama was curious in seeing this top experts burial tomb, Yama naturally doesn't want to go to pay respects to the ancestor, how can the Lord of Hell pay respect to someone else. Yama doesn't even have to pay respect to the gods, so there is no way that Yama will bow down in front of someone else but Yama still has to go to see the burial tomb of the person who was the strongest in the Kingdom in order to avoid any suspicions from others as Ye Ji is the only person who visits the ancestors burial tomb every week.

Yama was walking along the path way to the burial tomb; he looked very weak and tired like he was going to pass out any moment. This is due to Ye Ji being bullied and abused before regularly by everyone even the servants.

"Look the clan's trash is going to the burial tomb again," one of the servants said to another.

"Why does he even go there? He goes there every week jus to sit down and pray. What a useless trash. He has no aptitude for cultivation why does he bother. Is not like the ancestor is going to bless him"

"I know but who cares, is just wishful thinking of his, he goes there every week just to wait for a miracle!"

"I bet even the ancestor will be tired of seeing him there in the Heavens."

"haha your right he's a piece of shit, so I am certain is very disrespectful even to the ancestor for him to be going there."

Yama can hear the conversations of the servants clearly but he chose to endure and not get into unnecessary conflicts. Yama has been living for thousands of years and has seen a lot of people and judged a lot of people so he will not be shaken by these conversation from these puny humans. Is not something that will reach his bottom line, as Yama carried on walking, he saw a old dusty tomb in front of him which looked like it will crumble any moment, even the name of tomb cannot be seen properly.

'The tomb looks like it will fall any moment. Clearly the clan does not maintain their ancestors burial tomb properly it looks like they don't even care. It seems like Ye Ji is the only person who visits here. Let me just see what exactly does Ye Ji do inside."
