In the great hall, seated early on was a middle-aged man, dressed in the Underworld Emperor's Robe, towering three to four zhangs tall, with a face showing a fierce demeanor.
Standing by his side was a man dressed in a Judge's Robe, holding books in one hand and a brush in the other.
Clearly, he was a judge of the Underworld.
Tasked with determining the souls' fates through the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Beneath were several Underworld Envoys, as well as souls waiting for the judge's decision on which path of reincarnation they would enter next.
Sun Wukong and Black and White Impermanence, among many Underworld Envoys, stood in line, with a few wandering souls and wild ghosts awaiting their verdicts just ahead, so naturally, Wukong was in no hurry.
He just waited.
Soon, the few wandering souls and wild ghosts in front had been judged, then taken away, either to be reborn or to suffer in the eighteen layers of Hell.
