Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 279 Go to meet Hou Tu
Ao Bing not only has the essence and blood of Gonggong, but also the aura of Pangu originating from Pangu Jade Tower. As a descendant of Pangu, it is impossible for Queen Hou Tu not to feel it.

Therefore, the moment Ao Bing entered the underworld, she was alarmed and immediately turned her gaze over, secretly observing Ao Bing, trying to discover the secrets of him.

Then, before Queen Mother Hou could see through the secret of Ao Bing, she found that he was really bold.

However, with the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal, he dared to interfere in the ruling power of the underworld and even made an extremely complete plan. How dare he do that?

Even from the perspective of the future Earth Goddess, Ao Bing's plan can be called perfect. Once successful, he will immediately become the Supreme Lord of the Netherworld, in charge of the Netherworld and commanding all souls.

However, no matter how good the plan is, it needs to be backed by strong strength. Otherwise, all the efforts will be used to benefit others, and all the results will be easily taken away by other strong people.

With Ao Bing's Golden Immortal cultivation, who can he fight against in the Netherworld? Do you really think there are no masters in the Netherworld? Let's not talk about anything else. The strongest person under the Saint, the Styx Patriarch, has his dojo in the Netherworld.

As for the temperament of the ancestor of the Styx, Queen Houtu had lived next to him for many years and had some understanding of him. It was impossible to say that he had no intention of dominating the underworld.

In this situation, if he saw Ao Bing's plan, even if he was concerned about his status and would not take it by force, he would follow Ao Bing's example and set up his own underworld to take away his opportunity.

In addition, although the Taoist temple of the Lord of Mount Tai is in Mount Tai, his authority is manifested in the underworld, and he also has the intention of establishing the underworld.

Ao Bing's plan undoubtedly conflicted with him, this was the struggle for the Great Dao. And the struggle for the Great Dao was always cruel, and Ao Bing's identity as a direct descendant of the saint could not scare a veteran innate god and demon like the Lord of Mount Tai.

If he saw Ao Bing's plan, a conflict was inevitable, and he would definitely find ways to force Ao Bing out of the underworld.

In addition, Yuanshi Tianzun thought that his methods were secretive, and no one knew that he secretly sent his disciples to the underworld to develop.

But no matter how powerful his methods are, and how he can deceive everyone, how can he deceive Hou Tu, the goddess of reincarnation, who controls the cycle of reincarnation.

Therefore, although others were unaware of the fact that Taiyi Zhenren was ordered by Yuanshi to establish the Pure Land of the Netherworld to preach, Hou Tu Niangniang knew it very well.

Which of these powerful people and forces is easy to provoke? And they are all Ao Bing's competitors. If Ao Bing is a great master, then it doesn't matter.

But he was just a small Golden Immortal, so that was a big problem. His plan was so perfect, better than the plans of the rest of them combined, who wouldn't be tempted?
What's more, he just doesn't have enough strength to protect the foundation he has established. This is simply like a child carrying gold through a busy city, forcing others to rob him.

The Queen Mother Hou Tu had already predicted Ao Bing's fate and was just waiting for his plan to be discovered. It wouldn't be long before he would leave the underworld in disgrace, and the Fengdu City he founded would change hands and become an opportunity for others to achieve enlightenment.

In the ancient times, the weak have always been like this. No matter how good their ideas are, they have no chance of becoming reality. Basically, as soon as they start to be implemented, they will be snatched away by the sharp-eyed strong.

If nothing unexpected happened, Ao Bing would also do the same. But because he had the aura of Pangu, an accident happened, and the Queen Mother Hou Tu decided to help him and temporarily cover up the secret for him.

As for how long this temporary period will be, it depends on what Ao Bing says to Queen Hou Tu when he meets her next.

If this satisfies the Queen Mother Hou Tu, she will help him shield the secrets until Ao Bing has accumulated enough strength.

On the contrary, if Ao Bing fails to satisfy the Queen Mother Hou Tu, her magical powers will become ineffective in a hundred years at the least, or a thousand years at the most, and the hidden secrets of heaven will reappear in the world and be known by the heroes of the underworld.

……

"Is it the Queen Mother Hou Tu who is helping me?"

Ao Bing naturally felt the change in the destiny. Then he stopped what he was doing, bowed in the direction of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and expressed his sincere gratitude to the Queen Mother Hou Tu.

In the underworld, the only one with such power is Hou Tu Niangniang. Ao Bing could probably guess why she helped him. It was related to the Pangu Jade Tower and Gong Gong's blood essence on his body.

Otherwise, Ao Bing was just a stranger to Queen Hou Tu, so why would she help him for no reason?

But no matter what, the fact that the Queen Mother Hou Tu was willing to help him conceal the secrets solved a big problem for him. Otherwise, under the watchful eyes of the powerful men in the netherworld, even if he could defend Fengdu City, he would suffer heavy losses.

Even his plan to unify the underworld was aborted, and in the end he had to cooperate with other forces and share some power in order to secure his position as the Supreme Lord of the Underworld.

The underworld in later generations is the result of compromise among various forces and is jointly governed by the immortals, the heavenly court, and Buddhism.

Therefore, the status of the underworld is very low. Not to mention being on par with the Heaven, it is not even as good as the six departments of the Heaven, and is on the same level as the four Dragon Kings.

The three parties all wanted to unify the underworld, and no one would give in, and then no one could do anything to the other. In the end, they had no choice but to cooperate, drive away the other forces, and jointly rule the underworld.

This also led to the fact that the power of the underworld was not unified, but was divided into three parts. The status of the underworld was affected by this and was naturally not high.

If the power in the Netherworld is unified and a true Netherworld Supreme is born, even if his status cannot be compared to the Four Emperors, he will be the top existence under them, a true boss who can influence the situation of heaven and earth.

What Ao Bing wanted was the position of the Supreme Lord of the Netherworld. But his actions today almost caused him to miss out on this position.

It can be said that if Hou Tu Niangniang had not helped him, the difficulty of him becoming the Supreme Lord of the Netherworld in the future would be at least ten thousand times higher.

This time, Queen Hou Tu really helped Ao Bing a lot, and he must thank her very much.

"The favor of helping me shield the secrets of heaven and returning Gonggong's blood and essence to me today is considered as repayment. If I want to continue to get her help, I must offer her a lot of benefits to impress her."

Ao Bing knew very well that he did not have a close relationship with the Queen Mother Hou Tu. Although returning Gong Gong's blood essence was a great favor, the opportunity of the Supreme Lord of the Netherworld was also not small.

The fact that the Queen Mother of the Underworld helped him to block the secrets of heaven was considered as paying back the karma in advance. If he wanted to ask her for help again, he would have to show her real benefits.

Ao Bing had already prepared for this. As a reincarnation saint, Hou Tu Niangniang had everything she needed. There were few treasures in the world that could impress her. The only thing she cared about was the future of the Wu clan.

After all, Queen Hou Tu owes nothing to anyone except the Wu clan.

If she had not reincarnated, causing the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation to be flawed, how could the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan have suffered heavy losses and ended up in ruin.

Because she felt guilty, Hou Tu Niangniang has been trying to find ways to compensate the Wu clan and try to make them stand on their own feet again in the ancient land.

Ao Bing happened to have an opportunity related to the Wu Clan. Combing the earth veins, clearing the turbid air and evil spirits, and killing the fierce beasts all require the help of the Wu Clan. This is the Wu Clan's fortune and opportunity.

The merits gained by completing these tasks can almost wash away the sins of the witch clan, allowing them to reappear in the world and become active on earth again.

It has to be said that obtaining Gonggong's blood essence was a great thing for Ao Bing. It allowed him to establish a relationship with Hou Tu Niangniang and thus made it possible for him to cooperate with the Wu clan.

Otherwise, no matter how perfect his plan is, no matter how many benefits it brings, it will be useless if he cannot find the witch tribe. …

As time passed, the eighteen levels of hell became more and more stable, completely transforming into eighteen small worlds.

The internal rules manifested, either turning into various torture instruments; or turning into jailers, staring at the outside world with longing on their faces, as if expecting the arrival of evil spirits.

Both the torture instruments and the jailers are created by the power of rules and are not living things.

Therefore, they coexist with the Eighteen Levels of Hell and possess the ability to be immortal. As long as the Eighteen Levels of Hell are not destroyed, they will not be destroyed, and even if they are destroyed, they can be restored immediately.

Their power comes from the harsh environment of the underworld, such as the underground Yin fire, bone-corrosive cold wind, the nine-hell cold air, etc.

These forces that make the environment of the underworld harsh and gradually unsuitable for survival are all absorbed by the eighteen levels of hell and become nourishment for their own growth.

In this way, we can not only improve the environment of the underworld, but also strengthen the eighteen levels of hell so that they cannot be destroyed by external forces. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

As the Eighteen Levels of Hell became stable, Fengdu City also welcomed its first residents.

One after another, ghost cars drove in from the City God Temple, crossed the long Yellow Springs Road, and arrived at the Ghost Gate. After verifying the pass with the ghost guarding the gate, they brought a group of ghosts and entered the Fengdu City one after another.

The ghosts were divided into two groups. One group was escorted by the ghost messengers to Ao Bing for the final verification. If the City God's judgment was correct, these ghosts would go to reincarnation or hell to be punished according to the City God's previous judgment.

The other group is ghosts who died unjustly. They have deep resentment and are not suitable for reincarnation. They need to stay in Fengdu City temporarily. They will only go for reincarnation after they see their enemies get punished with their own eyes and their resentment dissipates.

Fengdu City was built for them.

"Ghost Ban List!"

Seeing these ghosts coming to Fengdu City, Ao Bing did not rush to verify them, but took out the Ghost List and prepared to continue to enthrone the gods.

At this time, the underworld was just established, and the Ten Kings of Hell, the Four Judges, the Five Ghost Emperors, the Ten Underworld Marshals, etc., had not returned to their positions. Therefore, these ghosts that were sent here needed to be verified by Ao Bing, the Lord of the Underworld.

But Ao Bing didn't even want to take care of the affairs of Renlong City and the Criminal Department, so how could he spend a lot of time dealing with these miscellaneous matters in Fengdu City?

Therefore, he planned to first seal some Yin gods to deal with emergencies and handle these miscellaneous matters on his behalf. After that, when the Yin gods such as the Ten Kings of Hell and the Four Judges returned to their positions, he could be a hands-off manager.

With the establishment of Fengdu City and the Eighteen Levels of Hell, the Ghost List did change.

Many of the illusory positions of the Yin gods above have now become solid, such as the Judge of the Underworld, the Ten Yin Marshals, the Lord of the Eighteen Levels of Hell, and so on.

The transformation of the gods from virtual to real means that these gods have met the conditions for canonization, and can be canonized immediately as long as there is a suitable candidate.

But unfortunately, these god positions are too high-end, and Ao Bing currently has no suitable candidates.

Even when the underworld was first established, the four judges were all at the level of Taiyi Jinxian. These ghosts in the Dragon Realm had accumulated a hundred years of Yin De at most, so they were not qualified to inherit such a position of god.

Although there is no suitable candidate, Ao Bing is not in a hurry. Establishing the underworld is not a matter of a day or a night. There is plenty of time left, so he can just look for one slowly.

If you really can't find one, just train it yourself and you will always find the right candidate.

As for finding someone to handle it at random, this is not advisable. The underworld is extremely important, especially in the initial stage of establishment, it is better to have nothing than to have something mediocre. Otherwise, if it becomes a makeshift team, it will be a joke.

It's so funny that it makes people die. How can one unify the underworld and rule over all the ghosts?

After selecting a few ghosts with great merit and asking them to temporarily take on the duties of judges, Ao Bing left Fengdu City and headed towards the place where the Six Paths of Reincarnation were.

This is to pave the way for them. Wherever Ao Bing passes, he will leave a road. Those ghosts who are going to reincarnate will reach the place of reincarnation as long as they walk down this road.

"Eh~~"

Not long after walking, Ao Bing suddenly felt a strong sense of homesickness in his heart, and then he stopped and looked thoughtful.

"This is where the souls of the dead gather to miss their families. We should build a hometown platform so that the reincarnated people can take one last look at their hometown and family."

Ao Bing suddenly spoke, realizing something.

In an instant, the heaven and earth were moved, and endless longing surged up and turned into a high platform, which was the famous Wangxiangtai in later generations.

After setting up the Wangxiangtai, Ao Bing continued to move forward. Then, a long river appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

This river is the Forgotten River, also the Nai River and the Styx River, and is a branch of the Sea of ​​Blood. Looking down, you can see that the river water is as red as blood, emitting an extremely strong and foul smell, making it difficult to approach.

At the same time, the blood river was full of insects and snakes, the waves were rolling, and the fishy wind was blowing in the face, as if they wanted to choose someone to bite.

The Sea of ​​Blood is the final resting place of all the souls before the birth of reincarnation. It is formed from the dirty blood in the navel of the great god Pangu and is known as the most filthy place in the world.

The dead souls fell into it, corroded by the sea of ​​blood, and suffered great torture every moment. It was not until Hou Tu Niangniang was reincarnated that the ghosts in the world were freed and no longer had to endure endless pain.

On the other side of the Wangchuan River is Ao Bing's destination, the place where the Six Paths of Reincarnation are located.

"A Three-Life Stone should be erected here to record people's past lives, present lives, and future lives."

In front of the Wangchuan River, Ao Bing displayed his magical powers, mobilized the power of time and space, and turned into a strange stone, recording a person's three lives and three worlds.

The so-called Three Lives Stone is a history book that records the memories of all the ghosts passing through this place.

After reincarnation, they will forget everything, but their memories will not disappear. They will be recorded by the Three Lives Stone, making it convenient for them to recover their memories of their previous lives after they have successfully cultivated, and also making it convenient for Ao Bing to compile history books.

"Next, we need to build the Naihe Bridge."

Ao Bing took his eyes off the Three Lives Stone and looked at the Forgetful River again.
