Lavabull Revenant Lesser Yaoguais

Location

Encountered on the critical path in Chapter 5.

Description

In the Kingdom of Pure Joy, there dwelled a high official from a lineage of glory. His father, a beacon of honor and privilege, has passed recently. Not long after, the official himself met a sudden death.

His soul, bewildered, found itself in the depths of the underworld, surrounded by terrifying sights. He came to a halt before a colossal stone gate, and peered inside. There, he saw charred corpses on their knees, twisted and shrunken from the relentless flames, their faces erased under chains and shackles. Among them, one scorched figure struggled to rise, shouting, “Zirong, my son, it’s me, your father!”

Better, the official’s childhood name, resonated with truth. He hastily asked, “Father, why are you here? I held so many rituals made for your passage.” The charred spirit replied, “They’re futile. Virtues in life bring fortune in the next, but wrongdoings must be paid now. My misdeeds caused many deaths, and Yama condemned me to the ceaseless depths, to burn eternally. My son, do not follow my path.”

Then, five more charred spirits emerged, his ancestors going back to his great-great-grandfather, all echoing the same warning. Suddenly, a chilling wind blew, and the stone gate slammed shut. The official awoke back among the living. For a time, he lived modestly, yet the hardships of simplicity soon wore him down. Convincing himself that it was nothing more than a dream, he slipped back into his lavish ways.

Poetry

High and mighty, in the finest attire,
Yet a twist of fate, from life to mire.
The underworld trials are no mere lore,
They know it all when they see your core.
