50,000 years ago, Hell was destroyed because of too much Foul from the resentment of the souls that later turned to Soul Eaters and devoured everything in their wake, leaving nothing of Hell. The gods above in Heaven, in order to take care of the newly-died souls, created the Afterlife Department comprised of grim reapers. Huo Ling was delivering food that day when he met Yi Bing and the guy gave him a warning. When he arrived to the customer's unit, he was killed. Huo Ling: you set up a death flag for me! Yi Bing: I'm a grim reaper. I'm the flag myself. Let me help you solve the mystery of your death. Huo Ling: your sister! Alternative title: The Different Ways I Died at 23 Update: daily
Yi Bing saw Huo Ling's skeptical expression and can only sigh. "You should know him… as lord Zero." He spoke.
Huo Ling looked at him. He suddenly has a faint guess. And his guess was confirmed when Yi Bing spoke.
"He is the Heavenly emperor." Yi Bing told Huo Ling.
Huo Ling. "…" oof. He thought and grimaced as he looked away, feeling guilty. As lord Zero who was an archangel, the Heavenly emperor was his direct superior. Thus, he should really know the Heavenly emperor.
Tang Jiming froze before his eyes slowly widened in shock after he heard what Yi Bing said. "WHAT?!" he exclaimed. The Heavenly emperor?! He thought as he loudly gasped.
