Yanluo

Yanluo (Wade-Giles: Yen-lo), is the ruler of the underworld in Chinese mythology. He is also the judge of the underworld and passes judgment on all the dead. Men or women with merit will be rewarded good future lives, or even revival in their previous life. Men or women who committed misdeeds will be sentenced to torture and/or miserable future lives. Yanluo is not one particular god. There were said to be cases in which an honest mortal was rewarded the post of Yanluo, and served as the judge and ruler of the underworld.
