Create a world of low martial arts from ancient times

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to ask me for approval for such trivial matters as the Black and White Impermanence."

In the quiet Netherworld Palace, the Goddess Houtu sat lazily on the ground.

This time, it was once again that Luo Zu came to the Netherworld Palace to speak to the emperor alone.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Black and White Impermanence can be promoted throughout the entire Netherworld, so I have come to report on it." Luo Zu directly explained his plan.

"Will it be included in the procession of deities?" Houtu Niangniang immediately guessed correctly.

Luo Zu is about to give his subordinates, the Black and White Impermanence, a formal position in the Underworld.

The Netherworld is now on the right track, and many systems are nearing perfection. However, there are occasional changes in the leadership. Some Dao Lords want to seek their fortune in other multiverses, so they leave the Netherworld on their own. Some Dao Venerables are recruited by the Heavenly Court, but they get carried away and don't want to choose sides. They want to gain benefits from both sides and directly join the Heavenly Court to become Star Gods.

Of the original eighty-nine Netherworld Emperors (Da Luo), only sixty-six remain today. The rest were recruited by the Heavenly Court, and many other Ghost Kings also went to the Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Court has given too much. Just like the conditions the Heavenly Court offered to Luo Zu before, that he could use the Innate River Luo Formation to deduce the Great Luo Realm. Everyone knows that the Innate River Luo Formation is the most advanced in the world, and can even be said to be the number one calculation treasure in the entire prehistoric world and the entire chaos.

Of course, many people are unaware that the Celestial Venerable De possesses a Taiji Diagram, a supreme innate treasure comparable to the Eastern Emperor Bell, whose deductive and computational abilities surpass even the Innate River Luo Great Array.

Therefore, there are indeed some high-level positions vacant in the Netherworld and Yellow Springs, but after Houtu Niangniang invited several top shamans from the Wu tribe, she filled these vacancies.

As for lower-level Netherworld positions like the Wandering God, they weren't one person per position. After all, at its peak, the number exceeded ten trillion, then it was reduced to five trillion. But as time went by, it has risen to six trillion again today. This is because the Ghost King can recruit Wandering Gods and grant them corresponding powers, without even needing to report to the Netherworld Palace for approval.

When Houtu saw this, she realized that this would not work. If things continued like this, the middle and lower levels of the Netherworld would become bloated, and another group of people would have to be laid off. So she brought together a Ghost King and the Emperor to discuss the matter carefully. In the end, they passed a resolution to transfer the authority of the wandering gods to the approval process of the Netherworld Palace.

Of course, the Ghost Lords can still recruit subordinates, but they no longer have any Netherworld authority and only accept the power of the Ghost Lords. This is equivalent to being transferred from the formal staff to temporary contract workers.

“I established the positions of Black and White Impermanence long ago, but after the rules of the twenty-one levels of good and evil were promoted, they were abolished, leaving only Ox-Head and Horse-Face. Now that they are being re-established, they can enrich the positions in the Netherworld,” Luo Zu said leisurely.

Hearing what Luo Zu said, Hou Tu Niangniang didn't want to argue with him any further. After all, the twenty-one levels of good and evil were still under construction, but in her calculations, three hundred million years later, this method would also have flaws and would not be able to keep up with the evolution of civilization in the prehistoric world.

Therefore, further evolution is necessary, but whether it should evolve from the twenty-one levels of good and evil, or start from scratch and rebuild a new system, is a significant question.

Three hundred million years is a long time for many living beings, but in the eyes of a being like Houtu Niangniang, it is nothing more than a nap.

Therefore, after He realized the situation, He immediately began to deduce it.

With His wisdom, it wouldn't be a problem for Him to come up with a new framework. However, given the current state of the Netherworld and the Yellow Springs, with His own management and the involvement of various forces, it's no longer His personal domain. As for the overall organizational structure of the Netherworld and the Yellow Springs, He needs to discuss it in detail with the various Emperors and Ghost Lords.

Everyone is now a "shareholder or shareholder representative". The will of the emperors cannot be ignored, and the will of the big figures behind the ghost kings must also be taken seriously. Therefore, even if the goddess Houtu creates an extremely perfect system, everyone needs to reach a consensus, or the majority must prevail over the minority.

Luo Zu is considered one of the "shareholders" of the Netherworld, so Hou Tu Niangniang (Goddess Hou Tu) had predicted his arrival at the Netherworld Palace today, even though it was just for this small matter. However, what she didn't expect was that Luo Zu actually guessed her intentions. As for who tipped off Luo Zu in advance, that was absolutely impossible, because Hou Tu Niangniang hadn't discussed this matter with any powerful beings yet; Luo Zu was the first.

Of course, Luo Zu might have just mentioned the twenty-one levels of good and evil casually, but everyone here is an old fox who has been around for millions of years. Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio is like a children's story to them.

Therefore, this statement is absolutely not unfounded.

But if Luo Zu knew that so many thoughts had been swirling in the Empress's mind in that instant, he would definitely cry out in injustice, saying, "You've been playing mind games with the demons for too long, and now you see everyone as a rat in the pot, don't you?"

He just wanted to ask the Goddess Houtu to remember their past relationship.

"Your suggestion is feasible." Houtu Niangniang nodded gently.

"Black and White Impermanence can be classified as wandering deities, but when recruiting them, they must encompass all the myriad races of the primordial world, and their cultivation level must be limited to that of celestial immortals, and they should be reduced to true immortals." Houtu Niangniang gave an important instruction.

“That’s fine.” Luo Zu naturally agreed.

However, since the Goddess Houtu agreed so readily, there must be more to come. After all, every step backward must lead to progress.

Houtu Niangniang disregarded all other words and said directly, "Fellow Daoist, do you know that the twenty-one levels of good and evil cannot be sustained for long?"

Luo Zu's smile faded, and his expression turned serious: "I wonder what Your Majesty's plans are?"

He knew his own situation best, and he was even less optimistic than the Goddess Houtu. The Twenty-One Realms of Good and Evil might not even last a hundred million years, or even thirty million years.

"I intend to recreate the new realm of the Netherworld and the Underworld," said Houtu Niangniang solemnly, no longer languid.

"What does Your Majesty need me to do?" Luo Zu asked.

To be honest, Luo Zu always felt that Houtu was too... fair, or rather, too kind. Among all the Dao Venerables and Dao Lords in the myriad realms, which one could speak kindly and negotiate? It all came down to who had the bigger fist and who controlled the most rules. Houtu always weighed things up and weighed them, which was really unwise. Since she had the strength, she should just push through directly, especially in this world. How many could restrain her?
She was a great figure who had served as an ancestral witch, so how did she become so indecisive after receiving the title of empress?

Have you not seen how decisive, courageous, and diligent the goddesses Nuwa and Xiwangmu were?

Of course, these innate deities are not distinguished by yin and yang, nor by male and female.

However, Houtu Niangniang's temperament is truly undesirable.

Perhaps it's because they're not in a position to govern, and therefore can't see the big picture, which leads to different perspectives.

"I will then ask all fellow Daoists to investigate the future trends of the Netherworld and the Yellow Springs. I hope you will support me at that time." (End of this chapter)
