At that point, maybe Wei Wuxian thought, "You know what? Judging the dead for eternity is kind of boring. Might as well take a little vacation."
And since Diyu has ten kings (The Ten Kings of Hell / 十殿阎罗) managing things, why not take a break?

But after cleansing himself and repenting, he might’ve started seeing things differently.

So of course he wouldn’t want to be summoned back.
If I had gone through all of that I would also want to dissappear from the map.

He thought his loved ones had died because of him, that his soulmate despised him, that his brother hated him, that he had failed to protect the people he held dear to his heart.

If he is the boss of Diyu, then no matter how many times people try to summon him, if he doesn't want to answer—he doesn't.
And let’s not forget: Wei Wuxian died absolutely T R A U M A T I S E D.

It has to be intrinsic, right?
Wei Wuxian isn't the kind of person who steals an ability from the Ruler of Diyu itself and survive.
He must have had that ability deep inside him.
He just awakened it.

That’s right. Yanwang.
Now, I could be wrong—this is just a theory. But it would explain a lot.
It would explain how Wei Wuxian acquired so much knowledge of the Gui Dao in just a few months, how he _invented_ it, and how he mastered it.

Wei Wuxian does the same.
A perfect example? During the Sunshot Campaign, he refused to kill the innocent Wen remnants. He only went after those who actually deserved punishment. He sought justice—not revenge.

And what is that "true self" you ask?
I think Wei Wuxian is actually 阎王 (Yanwang), the ruler of Diyu.
Yanwang is the Overlord of the Underworld.

And yet, somehow, they did.

That makes zero sense to me (we know he's super charismatic, but still...)
The Burial Mounds were filled with suffering, corrupted, vengeful souls. Just because a new cool person appears doesn’t mean they should accept him.

For now, let’s focus on the fact that he became the Grandmaster of the Ghost Path—because apparently, he was just so cool that the spirits took one look at him and went,

How is that even possible??
Well, I have a theory.
What if Wei Wuxian wasn’t just a mere mortal? Yes, when he was alive, he was definitely human. We know that. But what if, in death, he became something else?

We know he is a genius, one of the best cultivators to ever exist, yes, but it still feels like something is missing.
And then there’s the issue of his death.

And let’s not forget—he doesn’t just control the dead, he invented an entire cultivation path around the concept of Gui Dao. Where did that knowledge come from?

The man _whispers_ and corpses and spirits are too afraid to disobey him. Some don’t even dare look at him because of how menacing he is. Who is this man, exactly?

This got me thinking about how Wei Wuxian became the Grandmaster of the Ghost Path (鬼道, Gui Dao)—not the Demonic Path (魔道, Mo Dao), which, by the way, is a common misconception he himself clarifies.

Now, hear me out.
Do you remember that scene in the MDZS donghua adaptation where Wei Wuxian gets dragged into a pool of red liquid by resentful ghosts right before he becomes the Yiling Laozu?
