Apocalypse Temple: I Rebuilt the Underworld with Incense Chapter 220: The First Court Stands
At midnight, we stood before the restored court.Not finished. Nothing real ever is.But standing.The City God statue no longer looked like a dead official. Its cracked face now held many shadows: Judge Xue's severity, Zhao Feng's stubborn duty, Aunt Lan's kitchen warmth, Lu Shen's cold record, my father's survival, my mother's warning, Ava's witness, and something of me I was still learning to trust.The First Gate beneath Qinghe was closed.The next trouble arrived with dirt under its nails. In the First Gate, symbols had weight. It stained sleeves, cracked floors, moved through crowds, and made ordinary people choose sides before they understood the question. The black rain pressed against every window while a temple bell marked the next turn of the case. Nothing about the Final Gate War felt clean. It felt like another emergency arriving before the last one had been wiped off the stones.Below-Prayer had become the Docket of Unanswered Prayers.The living were not fuel.The dead
Apocalypse Temple: I Rebuilt the Underworld with Incense Chapter 219: Beyond Qinghe
The phrase branch court hit my family like a second apocalypse.My father stared at the red case."Impossible."Lu Shen's archive shelves began opening so fast papers flew like startled birds."Not impossible," he said. "Suppressed."My mother, still under custody, closed her eyes.The next trouble waited until everyone was tired before showing its teeth. In the First Gate, symbols had weight. It made the temple smaller, not larger, because every new rule had to fit inside a room full of frightened people. The blue altar fire pressed against every window while a court tablet striking wood marked the next turn of the case. Nothing about the Final Gate War felt clean. It felt like another emergency arriving before the last one had been wiped off the stones.I looked at her."You knew.""I suspected.""Mother."She flinched at the title."Your grandfather had brothers. Not all crossed the same ocean. Not all guarded the same name. When the gods withdrew, branch temples either died, hid,
Apocalypse Temple: I Rebuilt the Underworld with Incense Chapter 218: The Prayer From Los Angeles
The red case file opened by itself.English spilled into the air.Not translated. Spoken in the voice of a girl trying not to cry.Please, if any court still works, my brother is knocking from inside the freeway wall.Ava went very still.The next trouble came through the side door, where bad news usually entered. In the First Gate, symbols had weight. It stained sleeves, cracked floors, moved through crowds, and made ordinary people choose sides before they understood the question. The freeway dust pressed against every window while paper wings marked the next turn of the case. Nothing about the Final Gate War felt clean. It felt like another emergency arriving before the last one had been wiped off the stones."Los Angeles," she said.The map above the altar stretched, resisted, then tore open a narrow view of another city under Black Rain scars. Freeways twisted like concrete rivers. Neon saints flickered over boarded shops. A temple I did not recognize burned with blue incense.Th
Apocalypse Temple: I Rebuilt the Underworld with Incense Chapter 217: Gods Under Audit
The divine audit began with attendance.Half the gods tried to send proxies.Zhao Feng arrested the proxies.By noon, the rooftops were full again.Ava ran the questioning with a stack of files, three ghost clerks, and a calm expression that made minor deities sweat incense.The next trouble did not announce itself like prophecy. In the First Gate, symbols had weight. It made the temple smaller, not larger, because every new rule had to fit inside a room full of frightened people. The cold incense smoke pressed against every window while wet footsteps marked the next turn of the case. Nothing about the Final Gate War felt clean. It felt like another emergency arriving before the last one had been wiped off the stones."Prayer response logs," she said.The bell-crowned god coughed. "Records were lost during the withdrawal."Lu Shen dropped seventeen scrolls onto the table."Recovered."Ava smiled politely.The immediate problem was a ghost who remembered the wound but not the name. The
Apocalypse Temple: I Rebuilt the Underworld with Incense Chapter 216: The Bond Defined
We wrote the bond terms in public.That was Ava's idea."Private ambiguity makes excellent romance and terrible law," she said.I nearly choked on tea.The court gathered after evening petitions. Not for a wedding. Not for a possession rite. For a declaration.The next trouble arrived with dirt under its nails. In the First Gate, symbols had weight. It stained sleeves, cracked floors, moved through crowds, and made ordinary people choose sides before they understood the question. The ash-light pressed against every window while a dead radio marked the next turn of the case. Nothing about the Final Gate War felt clean. It felt like another emergency arriving before the last one had been wiped off the stones.Judge Xue presided with visible interest.Ava stood beside me, holding the torn half of the old veil. I held the other half."Ava Monroe and Lu Chen," Judge Xue read, "petition to define existing mutual debt."The gods leaned forward.Aunt Lan threatened them with a ladle until the
Apocalypse Temple: I Rebuilt the Underworld with Incense Chapter 215: The First Morning Office
The Underworld Court opened for regular business at sunrise.Regular business included one murdered accountant, twelve lost grandmothers, a god of parking lots who insisted he had been misclassified, and a ghost cat that everyone denied seeing because the court had no animal jurisdiction.Judge Xue blamed me for the cat.The next trouble waited until everyone was tired before showing its teeth. In the First Gate, symbols had weight. It made the temple smaller, not larger, because every new rule had to fit inside a room full of frightened people. The black rain pressed against every window while a temple bell marked the next turn of the case. Nothing about the Final Gate War felt clean. It felt like another emergency arriving before the last one had been wiped off the stones.Aunt Lan fed it.The office became real by becoming inconvenient.Survivors brought petitions written on cardboard. Ghosts brought grudges tied in red string. Minor gods brought excuses. Zhao Feng brought three lo
