The Growth of a God

Chapter 165: Lord of the Netherworld (23)

The Skeleton People made such a big fuss that it was impossible for it to escape Li Hao's eyes.

In fact, the abnormal situation now appearing in the Mountain and Sea Realm is the sequelae caused by Li Hao's introduction of those "Old Gods".

Li Hao started thinking about the future development of the Mountain and Sea Realm a long time ago.

With the establishment of the reincarnation system and the prosperity of hundreds of tribes in the mountains and seas, how to make the mountain and sea world enter a virtuous cycle of development has become an inevitable trend.

More and more creatures, more and more powerful souls...

Under such circumstances, it was obvious that Yao Xin and her subordinates from the Huangquan clan could no longer maintain this huge reincarnation system.

According to Li Hao's original idea, he was going to imitate the "Underworld" in the Chinese mythology system.

The best souls among those who are powerful but do not want to reincarnate are picked out to serve as ghosts and gods in the underworld in order to reduce the burden on Yao Xin and the Huangquan clan.

However, the various plots in mythology about causing chaos in the underworld and having secret dealings with the underworld's evil spirits made Li Hao somewhat worried that doing so might lead to abuse of power and pervert the law.

After all, no one can guarantee whether those ghost officials will show leniency to certain special souls because of their relationships in life.

Moreover, even if we really pick out those iron-faced and impartial law enforcers, who can guarantee that they will always be iron-faced and impartial?

It happened that at this time, the appearance of the "Old Gods" solved this dilemma.

Just let these "Old Gods" take on the responsibilities of the underworld ghosts and gods.

With the supervision of Yaoxin and Huangquan tribe, the problem of favoritism and abuse of power can be avoided to the greatest extent.

Of course, Li Hao didn’t really fish out all the “Old Gods”.

He doesn't have that idea or ability for the time being.

What Li Hao did was very simple. In fact, he used the power of the Vertical-Eyed God Totem to project the will of the "Old Gods" far away in the "Temple of the Void" into the underworld.

In this way, the "Old Gods" can be considered to have regained some freedom in disguise.

It has to be admitted that as the creator, Li Hao has that awareness, and the execution ability of his subordinate gods and races is unquestionable.

In just a short time, a new reincarnation system built around the "Old Gods" was completed.

Temples dedicated to the "Old Gods" sprang up in the underworld.

These temples are located at every key node of the Forgotten River and are used to screen and protect souls from the Mountain and Sea Realm.

If you observe the underworld from a more macro perspective, you will find that the underworld today has been completely renewed.

The vast Forgotten River system connects the entire world...

The towering old temples are responsible for the transfer of souls...

The busy Huangquan tribe is maintaining the connection between the Wangchuan River and the Old Temple...

At this moment, the underworld no longer looks desolate, but is filled with an alternative atmosphere of civilization.

This is a mythological civilization that is dominated by the dead and is responsible for the reincarnation cycle of the world.

The Huangquan Clan is the main body of this civilization, and monitoring the souls from the mountain and sea world is the responsibility of this civilization.

In comparison, after the "Old Gods" settled in the Netherworld, the feedback to the entire Mountain and Sea World can only be regarded as a trivial sequelae.

The "Old Gods" were originally transformed from the remains of gods, and they were born with the breath of the dead.

Once the souls that pass through their temples are reincarnated, they will inevitably bring the breath of the dead into the mountain and sea world.

These auras of the dead may have no other effects.

But under the radiation of the Day of Sin, the chances of the corpses reviving can indeed become greater.

It was ferried leisurely across the Forgotten River, with three pairs of tentacles wrapped around its chest and the wings of the moth behind it gently flapping.

Aya is as elegant and calm as ever, as if time has not left any trace on her.

It was not until her ferry arrived at the largest old temple near the altar of reincarnation that the dead souls and evil spirits slowly walked out of her boat.

Benedict! Benedict! Benedict!
Accompanied by a strange and inexplicable sound.

The huge old temple slowly opened its doors.

A dark spirit hidden in the darkness then walked out.

It possesses a strange posture that is unimaginable for normal creatures, and its body that flows like liquid presents a creepy sense of horror.

Only the single red eye in the center of the body was staring at the dead souls and evil spirits motionlessly, as if it was conducting some kind of judgment.

"Mr. Yin Tian? How come you have time to come out?"

With a hint of surprise, Aya called out the name of the "Old God".

As the true master of this old temple, Yin Tianjun rarely appeared in the past.

The Huangquan clan assigned to his command were not even sure whether Yin Tianjun was in the underworld most of the time.

"Where is Eclipse Lord? Is He back too?"

Hearing Aya's voice, Yin Tianjun slowly turned his single red eye.

"He accidentally misjudged the quality of a soul and should now be punished by the goddess."

The goddess that Yin Tianjun mentioned is naturally the god of death in the underworld - Yao Xin.

"Oh!"

There was a flash of understanding in his eyes.

Aya said that how could these two Heavenly Kings have the leisure time to focus on these ordinary dead souls and evil ghosts.

It turns out that something went wrong at work and now he is being punished by the goddess!

"What about Ake? Is it following Lord Eclipse now?"

Without showing too much fear, Aya asked in a slightly worried tone.

In the eyes of ordinary souls and even those who have ascended to gods, Yin Tianjun and Eclipse Tianjun are both supreme Yin gods and the most stringent judges in the underworld.

However, in the eyes of Huangquan people like Aya, they can only be regarded as their superiors at best.

The Huangquan Clan truly believes in the Goddess of Death, not the servants under her command.

"Well, it is being punished together with Eclipse Lord because of its negligence at work."

Aya was also not considered an "ant".

Yin Tianjun's voice always remained cold.

As a member of the "Old Gods", Yin Tianjun understands better than anyone that these seemingly weak "ants" are the true confidants of the Goddess of Death.

Being able to gain faith in this world and maintain the "Void Temple" from destruction is already the greatest gift from the Creator.

Yin Tianjun never asks for too much and never does anything out of the ordinary.

So after that impulsive brother, Eclipse Lord, made a mistake, even if he was not responsible for it, Yin Lord would take the initiative to clean up the mess for him.
