The Earth Official was newly established, and those who came were varied, many with concealed identities.
After all, no one truly wished to be loyal to the so-called underworld; everyone came for their own interests, and at the slightest mishap, they would scatter like birds and beasts.

Ao Heng was the same, merely tossed out by his ancestors. The position of Ghost Emperor sounded tempting, but he wasn't the emperor, having no soldiers or generals under him.
If something truly happened, cutting losses and seeking divine protection wasn't impossible.

Probably, but possibly for different reasons.
