Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 280 Houtu Empress
Naihe Bridge is the last step of reincarnation. Ghosts come here, drink a bowl of Mengpo soup, forget all their memories, and then they can be reincarnated.

At the same time, the sea of ​​blood is filthy, and without a bridge connecting the two sides, ghosts would have no power to cross.

"Naihe Bridge, appear!"

Ao Bing whispered, and the world's desire for the afterlife spontaneously gathered together to form a tall ancient bluestone bridge over the blood river.

This is the Naihe Bridge, with a bluestone bridge deck and five steps. The west side of the bridge represents women, the east side represents men, and the left side is yin and the right side is yang.

This bridge may seem like an illusory object, but it is extremely solid. It is the product of the will of all living beings. Even if a great golden immortal comes, he cannot damage it in the slightest.

Along the way Ao Bing walked, the Yellow Springs Road, the Ghost Gate, the Fengdu City, the Wangxiang Terrace, the Three Lives Stone, and the Naihe Bridge seemed to have been established by him, but in fact, they were established by all living beings, and he just went with the flow.

Since the creation of the world, all living beings' fear of death has gathered in the underworld, and it was their fear that was used by Ao Bing, which turned into everything that happened just now.

Therefore, Ao Bing only played a guiding role in this matter, and it was the living beings who did the hard work. Otherwise, with Ao Bing's current ability, how could he have created so many extraordinary places.

What's even better is that the power of places like Huangquan Road and Fengdu City will continue to grow stronger as time goes by. This is the wonder of the will of all living beings, not Ao Bing's ability, he can't do this now.

After the Naihe Bridge was built, Ao Bing did not hesitate and crossed the bridge directly to the other side, where the Six Paths of Reincarnation were located.

Before reaching the other side, looking at this place, I felt that it was vast and boundless. There was nothing else except the endless cold air of the underworld.

But when you reach the other side through the Naihe Bridge, the scenery in front of you suddenly changes. The endless cold air of the underworld disappears, replaced by six huge whirlpools standing in the air.

These six whirlpools are the legendary six realms of reincarnation. They form a circle and hang in the air. They are all unfathomable and connected to unknown places.

At this time, there are no dead souls entering the six realms of reincarnation to be reborn, but this does not mean that the six realms of reincarnation are not working.

On the contrary, it has a great effect and is still rotating constantly, absorbing all kinds of foul air between heaven and earth, making it circulate, and gradually transforming into innate spiritual energy to make up for the loss of heaven and earth.

With every rotation of the six realms of reincarnation, the loss of heaven and earth will be reduced by one point, and the lifespan will be extended by one point. It can be said that the merits are immeasurable, which is why Hou Tu Niangniang has a high status.

Ao Bing only glanced at the Six Paths of Reincarnation and then looked away. Then, he slowly walked forward and bowed to the vague temple behind the Six Paths of Reincarnation. He said:

"Disciple Renlong, I want to see the Queen Mother Hou Tu for something."

As he spoke, Ao Bing took out a jade box and opened it. Inside was the blood of the ancestor of witches, Gong Gong. It was red in color and as crystal clear as jade, but it emitted a black divine light.

Black is the color of water. Among the five elements, the emperor with the attribute of water is honored with the title of Black Emperor.

"It's Gonggong's breath. This is his essence and blood. Even he has left me."

A long sigh was heard, and a goddess dressed in a yellow dress, with a compassionate face and a look of kindness, appeared silently in front of Ao Bing. She picked up the jade box in his hand, stared at the blood of Gonggong inside, her eyes unable to hide the sadness.

The moment she saw this drop of blood, Queen Hou Tu guessed the fate of Gonggong. He must have died, otherwise, he would not have deliberately left a drop of blood for someone to inherit his position.

After the witch-lich catastrophe, nine of the eleven witch ancestors fell, leaving only Gonggong and Xuanming. Now, Gonggong has also left, leaving only Xuanming.

The descendants of Pangu, who once flourished, now only have a single descendant left.

Thinking of this, how could Queen Hou Tu not sigh and grieve? If she had not reincarnated, would the fate of the Witch Clan have changed?
Thinking of the fate of the Wu clan, it was inevitable that Hou Tu Niangniang once again fell into deep self-blame, feeling that she was the one who had harmed the Wu clan.

However, Hou Tu Niangniang is, after all, one of the most supreme beings in the prehistoric world, not a weak woman.

So, her loss of composure was only temporary. Soon, she restrained all her emotions and looked at Ao Bing with a calm gaze.

"Brother, you didn't make a mistake. You are indeed a trustworthy person. After obtaining the blood of the ancestor witch, you will bring it back to the witch clan as promised."

"The Wu Clan will never forget this kindness."

"From what you did before, are you planning to establish the underworld? It's a good idea, but it's very difficult."

"Whether it's the Lord of the Styx, the Lord of Mount Tai, or other innate ghosts and gods, they will all be your competitors."

"Compared to them, apart from having a more complete plan, you are not at an advantage in other aspects, especially in terms of strength."

"However, my Wu clan has always been grateful for what has been done to them. Since you have done me a favor, I will lend you a helping hand and buy you three thousand years to develop your power."

"At the same time, three thousand years from now, no matter whether your plan succeeds or not, I will keep you safe and will never let anyone in the Netherworld hurt you in the slightest."

The goddess Hou Tu set her own conditions, shielding Ao Bing from the secrets of heaven for three thousand years as a way of repaying him for returning the blood of the ancestor witch.

Three thousand years is not a short time. Not to mention, Gonggong had already repaid the favor of returning the blood of the ancestor witch.

Gonggong's companion spiritual treasure, the top-grade innate spiritual treasure Water Spirit Pearl, was not given for free. It was the reward for returning the essence and blood of the ancestor witch to Ao Bing.

Logically speaking, since the reward has already been paid, there is no need for Hou Tu Niangniang to give Ao Bing another reward at this moment to repay the favor.

But who can blame Hou Tu Niangniang for being so generous that she insisted on giving Ao Bing two rewards? This was not only for Ao Bing to see, but also for the people of the world to see.

Hou Tu Niangniang also understood the principle of spending a fortune on horse bones. She planned to tell everyone in the prehistoric world in this way that as long as someone was willing to help the Wu clan, she would never be stingy with benefits.

"Disciple thanks the Queen!"

Ao Bing naturally guessed Hou Tu Niangniang's intention, but he had nothing to lose.

On the contrary, as a horse bone worth a fortune, he got benefits far beyond what he deserved. He was very happy and how could he be dissatisfied? He was not a greedy person.

"You are very good, but your cultivation is not good enough. If you have the cultivation of a quasi-saint, then things will be simpler. With this favor, I will definitely fully support you to become the Supreme Lord of the Netherworld."

"In my opinion, your plan is the most perfect. It is much better than the plans of Taishan Mansion Lord and Minghe Cult Master."

"They have been struggling in the Netherworld for so long, but have not made any waves. It is clear that their plan is not feasible."

"But they don't realize this, or they don't want to believe it, and they continue to mess around. Not only does it not benefit the Netherworld at all, but it makes the order of the Netherworld even more chaotic."

The Queen Mother Hou Tu once again expressed her admiration for Ao Bing, and even said that if he was a quasi-saint, she would fully support him to become the Supreme Lord of the Netherworld.

This is not a joke, but a sincere one. If possible, Hou Tu Niangniang would certainly like to support the Wu clan to become the Supreme Lord of the Netherworld.

But the Wu clan is stronger than the flesh, and is born without a soul. They can't adapt to the environment of the netherworld at all, and there is no possibility of becoming the supreme ruler of the netherworld. In this case, since it is impossible to support the people of the Wu clan, the best choice for Hou Tu Niangniang is to support people related to the Wu clan.

And Ao Bing is the best candidate.

First of all, he was related to the Wu Clan. Sending the blood of the ancestor witch back to the Wu Clan seemed simple, but in fact, he had been marked with the Wu Clan's mark.

Whether he admits it or not, to outsiders, he is an ally of the Witch Clan.

Secondly, Ao Bing's plan was perfect. For the first time, it allowed Queen Hou Tu to see the possibility of unifying the underworld and establishing order in the underworld.

Since he is both capable and one of our own, there is no reason for the Queen Mother Hou Tu not to support him.

It’s a pity that Ao Bing’s cultivation is too weak, he is only a Golden Immortal, so even if Queen Hou Tu pushes hard, she cannot push him to the throne of the Supreme Lord of the Underworld.

There are many powerful people in the underworld. If they are asked to submit to a quasi-saint, they will grit their teeth and bear it for the sake of Queen Hou Tu.

But making them submit to a mere Golden Immortal would be too humiliating and would save anyone's face. It would be better to kill them.

"Three thousand years is enough time. Even though I can't become a quasi-saint, it can at least give me a place in the netherworld."

"After that, who will unify the Netherworld and ascend to the throne of the Netherworld Supreme will depend on their own abilities."

Ao Bing said with great confidence that three thousand years would definitely not allow him to cultivate to the realm of a quasi-saint, but it would be enough for him to have the power to compete with a quasi-saint.

Anyway, with the three thousand years that Hou Tu Niang had fought for him, no matter how bad his future was, he would still be a giant in the underworld and be able to rule the underworld together with other forces instead of being forced back to the human world.

"It's a good thing that you have confidence, so I'll wait and see."

Queen Hou Tu nodded, looking forward to Ao Bing's future performance. If Ao Bing's performance was truly amazing three thousand years later, then her promise today would still be valid, and she would fully support Ao Bing in becoming the Supreme Lord of the Netherworld.

After finally meeting a suitable candidate, it is impossible to give up so easily. Three thousand years may be a test set by the Queen Mother of the Underworld for Ao Bing.

"My Lady, I am not here for matters concerning the Netherworld, but for matters of great merit, and I wish to discuss this with the Witch Clan."

"I wonder if the Queen is interested in this."

The matter of the underworld came to a temporary end. Ao Bing talked about another purpose of his visit and invited people from the Witch Clan to help sort out the veins of the earth.

"Hmm? Tell me about your merits."

When she heard that it was related to the Wu clan, Queen Hou Tu became interested and asked Ao Bing to explain it in detail.

Right now the witch clan is in decline and is in urgent need of merit to enhance its fortune. Ao Bing had grasped her weakness, making it difficult for her to refuse.

"It's a long story..."

Next, Ao Bing explained in detail his plan to sort out the earth veins and the role of the witch clan in it.

"You are thoughtful. Even in a world as corrupt as this, it is rare to find someone like you who cares about the world and the people."

"This is a blessing for the ancient world and for all living beings."

"Such a good thing, the Wu Clan naturally cannot stay out of it. How about this, I will ask a few people to go to Longzhou to find you in a while, and you just tell them what to do."

The Queen Mother Hou Tu was extremely keenly aware that combing the earth veins and killing the ferocious beasts was the best chance for the Wu clan to return to the earth.

So, she first praised Ao Bing, then agreed to his proposal and prepared to send someone to assist him.

The witch clan has fallen to such a state and committed a huge mistake that destroyed the world. Now, let alone dominating the ancient world, it would be a great thing if they could regain their footing on earth and atone for their sins.

In this case, there would naturally be no problem in letting them focus on Ao Bing.

If it was during the heyday of the Wu Clan, no matter how good Ao Bing's plan was or how powerful his background was, the Wu Clan would still be the main focus. It would be out of the question to let the Wu Clan obey Ao Bing.

"With the help of the Wu Clan, the earth will surely regain its vitality. When that time comes, I wonder how many people will be grateful for the Wu Clan's contribution and ask them to return to the earth."

Seeing that Hou Tu Niangniang agreed, Ao Bing said a lot of good things, which were also true. They both committed serious mistakes, but the righteous called for the killing of the demon clan, but did not mention the witch clan at all, deliberately downplaying their crimes.

Even the Three Pure Ones and the Two Saints of the West all have the intention to support the Wu Clan. It sounds incredible, but it is true. If the Wu Clan was at its peak, the saints would definitely not do this.

But now, the Wu clan has fallen, and in the eyes of the saint, they are complete losers and no longer pose a threat. In this case, the saint does not mind helping the Wu clan to show his benevolence.

In the ancient times, is there anything that can better demonstrate benevolence than showing kindness to Pangu's descendants?

It can be said that many great masters would be happy to see the Wu Clan return to the earth. They also did not want to push the Wu Clan too far, lest they be known for mistreating the descendants of Pangu.

At this point, the witch clan has become a tool for everyone to gain prestige, while the demon clan has become a tool for everyone to gain merit.

Letting the Wu Clan return to the earth is what the powerful ones hope for. Ao Bing gives the Wu Clan this opportunity. When the powerful ones know about it, not only will they not stop them, they will also help them secretly, because this is a manifestation of their benevolence.

As for whether the Wu Clan would become a threat to them after their return, to think so would be to underestimate the vision of the powerful people in the prehistoric world.

When the Wu Clan was at its peak, they could always win. Now they are even stronger, while the Wu Clan has long since declined.

As one side gains strength while the other loses strength, if they still regard the Witch Clan as a threat and suppress them by all means, then wouldn't all these years of training have been in vain?

In addition, they allowed the Wu Clan to return not only to demonstrate their own benevolence, but also to tell the world that the Wu Clan and them are no longer on the same level.

Times have changed, but many people have not realized it. Let the return of the witch clan tell those stubborn people that the world today is no longer the same as it was in ancient times.

……

"Oh, there is one more thing that I need your help with. In front of the Naihe Bridge, a god must boil the water of the underworld to make people forget their past and present lives, so that they can reincarnate cleanly."

"This is extremely important, but my ability is limited and I cannot find a suitable candidate. I hope that the Queen will show her grace and improve Fengdu."
