Apocalypse Temple: I Rebuilt the Underworld with Incense Chapter 140: Court Under the Freeway
We could not hold the hearing inside the temple.The dead contracts were too many.They poured from the morgue carts in red streams, thousands of signatures fluttering upward until they covered the sky above Temple Street.Each contract had a corpse attached.Some walked.Some crawled.Some were only hands dragging paper behind them.All of them were owed something.The next trouble arrived with dirt under its nails. In Qinghe and the Western Branch, 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 Court War felt clean. It felt like another emergency arriving before the last one had been wiped off the stones.Judge Xue made the decision with the bleak calm of a man who had survived bureaucracy after death."We need neutral ground.""Where?" I asked.The Door Guardian a
Apocalypse Temple: I Rebuilt the Underworld with Incense Chapter 139: The Contract on Daniel's Heart
Daniel Hart had betrayed Ava before he died.That was the clean version.The real version was uglier, because betrayal rarely arrived wearing its own face. It arrived as deadlines, fear, a signature at the bottom of a corporate nondisclosure agreement, a promise that one leak would save more people than silence.Then the apocalypse came, and Daniel had become the Corpse Groom.Even dead, he was still being used.The contracts in his open chest fluttered like trapped birds.Ava walked to the boundary line before I could stop her."Show me the terms," she said.The Morgue Queen's brows rose.The next trouble waited until everyone was tired before showing its teeth. In Qinghe and the Western Branch, 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 Court War felt clean.
Apocalypse Temple: I Rebuilt the Underworld with Incense Chapter 138: Queen of Cold Drawers
The formaldehyde smelled like hospitals that had given up pretending to heal.It crawled across the courtyard stones in clear, shining veins. Wherever it touched spilled incense ash, the ash turned into little white toe tags.Aunt Lan lifted a child onto the offering table."Feet up. Nobody touches the death water."The Well Spirit hissed and climbed onto the basin rim."Not water. Inventory."The temple gate froze.Beyond it, the street stretched longer than it should have. Buildings leaned away, making room for a procession of stainless-steel morgue carts rolling uphill by themselves.On each cart lay a covered body.The next trouble came through the side door, where bad news usually entered. In Qinghe and the Western Branch, 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 ab
Apocalypse Temple: I Rebuilt the Underworld with Incense Chapter 137: The Gods Who Were Too Small to Save Us
By noon, Qinghe Temple looked less like a holy site and more like a crowded apartment building where all the tenants had died in different dynasties.The Stove God took the kitchen corner and complained about the quality of modern gas lines.A cracked Door Guardian woke inside a wooden plank Aunt Lan had used to brace the gate.The Well Spirit emerged from the basin as a girl made of dripping hair and blue porcelain, then immediately asked if anyone had clean coins.None of them were powerful.That was the problem.And the comfort.The next trouble did not announce itself like prophecy. In Qinghe and the Western Branch, 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 Court War felt clean. It felt like another emergency arriving before the last one had been wiped off the stones.
Apocalypse Temple: I Rebuilt the Underworld with Incense Chapter 136: Aunt Lan Lights the Stove
Aunt Lan met the Morgue Queen's laugh with a kitchen knife in one hand and a soup ladle in the other."Everyone inside," she snapped.No one argued.That was Aunt Lan's true divine authority.Refugees staggered through the temple gate while paper talismans shivered above them like nervous birds. Zhao Feng and Judge Xue held the boundary. Ava leaned on me for exactly three steps, then pushed away as if closeness had a timer."I'm okay," she said."You just opened a memory and dropped a soul-key onto the street.""So, Tuesday."The next trouble arrived with dirt under its nails. In Qinghe and the Western Branch, 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 Court War felt clean. It felt like another emergency arriving before the last one had been wiped off the stones.H
Apocalypse Temple: I Rebuilt the Underworld with Incense Chapter 135: Ava's First Key
When the false god broke, it did not scream.The people did.Every refugee who had fed it incense collapsed at once, hands to throats, choking on memories that tried to crawl back in the wrong order.One woman sobbed for a son who was standing right beside her.A teenage boy shouted the address of a house that had burned two months ago.An old man kept repeating his own name as if he had to hold it down with teeth.I wanted to run to all of them.The territory line wanted me to harvest the broken shrine while it was weak.[Counterfeit shrine destabilized.][Immediate annexation recommended.]The next trouble waited until everyone was tired before showing its teeth. In Qinghe and the Western Branch, 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 Court War felt clean. It felt like anoth
