People in Conferred Gods: Rising from humble beginnings, I am the God of Wealth

Chapter 164: The Styx legislates and brings humiliation upon itself!
The place of underground reincarnation.

A huge and boundless disk, suspended in the void, is rotating slowly and steadily, eternally and forever!

this day.

A blood-red light flew over from afar, breaking the tranquility of the place.

The blood-red light fell in front of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk, revealing a figure wearing a blood-red Taoist robe.

This person is none other than the Taoist of the Styx!

After he revealed his figure, he bowed respectfully towards the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk and saluted.

"I, Minghe, pay my respects to the Queen Mother Hou Tu!"

"What's the matter?"

A gentle female voice came from the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk.

When Taoist Minghe saw this, he was overjoyed.

Only if Hou Tu gives a response will he have the opportunity to present the rules of the earth, otherwise everything will be in vain.

At the same time, this also confirmed his previous guess that Hou Tu was indeed not hiding the secret from some living being.

Instead, it is giving all living beings in the prehistoric world a chance to compete fairly, so as to obtain the land rules that are most suitable for the underworld.

Minghe did not delay and immediately took out a blood-red stone tablet and said respectfully:

"Empress Hou Tu, I see that the Netherworld is in disorder, so I have set down 129,600 rules to improve the order of the Netherworld. I hope Your Majesty will take note of them!"

As his words fell, a holy aura suddenly appeared, forming two majestic eyes on the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk, looking at the stone tablet in his hand.

But soon after, those two majestic eyes disappeared into the void, and that hint of holy aura also disappeared.

"We will discuss this matter later!"

After a moment of silence, Minghe bowed slightly and recited:

"I will obey the Holy Order!"

After saying that, he picked up the stone tablet in front of him, turned into a ray of blood light again, left the underworld, and returned to the Asura ancestral land.

Then, he waved his blood-red sleeves and slammed the door of the hall shut.

Uncontrollable anger appeared on his face, and he began to curse in his heart.

He spent tens of thousands of years painstakingly compiling the rules of the underworld, referring to the laws of Heaven one by one.

As a result, Hou Tu just took a glance and rejected it.

What's the point of discussing it later? It's obvious that you don't want to discuss it anymore!
The Taoist of Minghe became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. The Yuantu Abi sword in his sleeves released wisps of blood light, and a murderous aura lingered around him.

But he was not an idiot. He knew that he could not beat Hou Tu. He went there just to deliver food. Even though he cursed in his heart, he did not dare to mention Hou Tu's name and could only use that person instead.

Minghe sat in the hall somewhat dejectedly. Without Houtu's consent, he could not openly implement the rules of the underworld in the underworld.

But he really wanted to gain authentic merit. If he couldn't promote it openly, then...

Is it possible to communicate with the underground tunnel on my own, bypassing Hou Tu directly, and hand over the compiled underground regulations to the underground tunnel for review?
Although Hou Tu is to the Underworld what Hongjun is to the Heavenly Dao, Hou Tu cannot fully represent the Underworld.

As long as the underworld agrees, regardless of whether Houtu agrees or not, the rules of the underworld have been established, and he can also gain merit from the underworld.

However, if you really do this, it will definitely anger Hou Tu.

Minghe's eyes were conflicted and he hesitated for a long time. Thinking of Yang Xuan and others, he couldn't help but feel that time was becoming increasingly tight.

Although he did not think that Yang Xuan could convince Hou Tu to establish the rules of the earth.

But Yang Xuan has the support of a saint behind him. What if Hou Tu gives Yang Xuan more conveniences for the sake of the saint?
Or could it be that the earthly rules that Yang Xuan was going to present, like the heavenly rules, also had guidance from saints?

As the saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected.

The one who establishes the rules of the underworld first can obtain authentic merit first, and it is very likely that there is only one creature in the world who can obtain this merit.

Minghe thought about the terrifying amount of merits behind Yang Xuan's head, and felt jealous again.

To be honest, he is also a creature born from the earth.

In addition, with his cultivation in the quasi-saint realm, he can briefly attract the attention of the underworld and announce the rules of the underworld.

The moment he gets the attention of Didao, even a saint cannot attack him, otherwise he will be hated by Didao.

If he can successfully establish the rules of the earth and obtain merit from the earth in the future, Hou Tu will not only not take action against him, but will also be grateful to him because his rules of the earth are recognized by the earth.

Besides, even if she failed, Hou Tu would not be able to wipe out the sea of ​​blood. At most, she could only teach him a lesson.

The sea of ​​blood is vast and boundless, and it is an indispensable part of the prehistoric world. Even if a saint destroys it, he will have to bear huge karma. Hou Tu will definitely not do such a thing.

For the sake of merit, it's worth a gamble.

After weighing the pros and cons and thinking it over again and again, Minghe finally made a decision. He gritted his teeth and flew towards the depths of the sea of ​​blood.

When he flew to the place where the sea of ​​blood and the underworld met, that is, in front of the black fog, he stopped, but did not dare to go any deeper.

Then, he changed his mind and took out the blood-red stone tablet with the rules of the underworld written on it.

Above the stone tablet, thousands of ghostly auras from the underworld were entangled, containing the Avenue of Death, and it was actually a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Then, Minghe activated his quasi-saint power, put his four fingers together, and began to declare to the tunnel:

"Diedao, I am Minghe, the ancestor of Asura in the Blood Sea. I feel that the Didao is incomplete, so I have specially established 129,600 rules of the Netherworld to restrain the actions of the creatures in the Netherworld, maintain the operation of the Didao, and stabilize the order of the prehistoric world. I hope Didao will take this as a lesson!"

With the blessing of the quasi-saint's power, these words mobilized the power of the earth and spread throughout the ancient world in an instant.

The underworld.

After hearing Minghe's announcement, Yang Xuan's expression became a little strange.

"I didn't expect there would be such a fool..."

At the same time, in the ancient times, the eyes of many powerful people were all cast towards the depths of the sea of ​​blood.

Ancient starry sky.

Haotian and Jinmu looked at each other and frowned slightly.

"This Styx is so shameless. Isn't it just copying your heavenly rules and changing them a little bit, and then it becomes his earthly rules?"

Haotian snorted coldly, his face looking unhappy. The Queen Mother's face was equally ugly, with some worry in her eyes.

"I remember that my beloved minister once said that he would go to the netherworld after the heaven is stabilized. Could he also be here for the matter of the netherworld's rules?"

"Minghe was able to think of changing the Heavenly Principle to Earthly Principle. With your strategy, how could you not have thought of this? Damn it, Minghe's move is probably going to steal your merits!"

Haotian had an angry look on his face, and he increased the strength in his hands, almost crushing the stars below.

For Haotian, apart from his own path, the most important thing is Yang Xuan.

The Heavenly Palace is what it is today, they are able to escape the miserable state of maintaining the operation of the Heavenly Palace, and their Taoism can be improved, all thanks to Yang Xuan.

Even whether they could achieve the Second Corpse Quasi-Saint in the future depended on Yang Xuan. They knew that they owed Yang Xuan a lot, and they were always looking for opportunities to repay him.

As a result, they didn’t find the opportunity now, but discovered that Yang Xuan’s chance was about to be snatched away by Minghe. How could they not be angry?
But the Styx has already declared the tunnel, so even if they want to cause trouble for it, it is too late now.

Moreover, the tunnel was Hou Tu's territory, and Minghe's move must have been approved by Hou Tu. If they intervened rashly, they would probably anger Hou Tu.
But there was one thing they couldn't understand: when Yang Xuan pardoned the Three Sisters, Hou Tu had responded.

From this we can see that even if Yang Xuan did not know Hou Tu, Hou Tu had some good feelings towards Yang Xuan.

No one knows what price the Styx paid in order for Hou Tu to agree to the Styx's announcement of the underground tunnel even though she knew that the underground rules were changed according to Yang Xuan's heavenly rules.

……

Beihai, Demon Master Palace.

Kunpeng listened to Minghe's declaration and sneered.

"How dare you steal the achievements of a junior? How shameless you are!"

……

Mount Sumeru.

Jie Yin and Zhunti looked towards the direction of the sea of ​​blood with dissatisfaction on their faces.

"What is Dizang doing? Why has there been no progress for so long? How did the Styx get ahead of him?"

As early as when Yang Xuan established the Heavenly Law, Jie Yin sent Dizang to the underworld. However, tens of thousands of years passed, and Dizang had not made any progress at all.

After some deduction, Jie Yin frowned and snorted coldly.

"You are not doing your job properly. No wonder there has been no progress for many years. How can a few wronged souls compare to entering the netherworld?!"

Now, in the matter of establishing the rules of the underworld, they are already one step behind the Styx. If Ksitigarbha continues like this, I am afraid that the West will never be able to intervene in the affairs of the underworld.

Jie Yin immediately sent a message to Dizang, asking him to hurry to the Netherworld.

……

Wuzhuang Guanzhong.

Zhen Yuanzi, who usually had a good temper, suddenly had a blazing anger in his eyes when he heard Minghe's oath.

Thinking of the tragic scene of his good friend's death in front of him, he wished he could rush to the sea of ​​blood immediately to stop the Styx from establishing the rules of the underworld and gain merit.

But he knew it was too late, the tunnel had already cast its gaze towards the sea of ​​blood, responding to the declaration of the Styx.

Sea of ​​blood.

Rumble——!
A terrifying pressure rose from the bottom of the sea of ​​blood, instantly covering the entire sea of ​​blood.

The vast sea of ​​blood, which was originally filled with murderous aura and surging waves, suddenly became quiet at this moment, and even the water waves stopped moving.

Wisps of pitch-black mist rose from the earth, forming two dark eyes below the sea of ​​blood, looking at the stone tablet in front of the Styx.

Minghe felt the supreme power staring at him and felt ecstatic.

In order to show respect, Minghe immediately waved his hand and changed the stone tablet in front of him, which was engraved with 129,600 rules of the underworld and exuded endless death energy, to a size of tens of millions of feet and displayed it in front of the tunnel.

But after a moment, the eyes under the sea of ​​blood turned into black mist again and slowly returned to the underworld.

The underground aura that enveloped the entire sea of ​​blood also disappeared at this moment, and the sea of ​​blood became turbulent again, with surging blood waves, returning to its previous appearance.

Obviously, the tunnel did not recognize the rules of the underworld set by the Styx.

Minghe's originally happy expression froze on his face. He didn't understand what went wrong.

Why can Yang Xuan gain recognition from Heaven and obtain merit from Heaven by relying on the 129,600 Heavenly Laws?

He copied the Heaven's rules and compiled the rules of the Netherworld. How could he not be recognized by the underworld?
When Zhen Yuanzi saw this scene, his anger immediately turned into joy and he laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, you old dog Minghe, you are so useless. You can't even understand the Heavenly Rules even if I give them to you to copy!"

What the Styx did was tantamount to pooping a huge pile of shit directly in front of the powerful beings in the three realms of the prehistoric world.

Although the other powerful beings in the prehistoric world did not laugh as happily as Zhen Yuanzi, they also laughed at him in various ways.

But they were the same as Minghe in one thing: they didn’t understand why Yang Xuan’s Heavenly Laws could be recognized by the Heavenly Dao.

The underground rules of the Styx are basically a copy of the Heavenly Rules with corresponding changes, but they cannot be recognized by the underground.

Just when a powerful person was puzzled, Yang Xuan shook his head and smiled, without any surprise.

As early as the moment the Styx unfolded the rules of the underworld, he knew that the Styx would not succeed.
There are two reasons.

First, he knew very early on that there were no universal rules and regulations, whether in the present primitive world or in the future Earth.

The Netherworld is different from the Thirty-Three Heavens. If you apply the Heavenly Laws to the Netherworld, you are doomed to fail from the very beginning.

If one wants to formulate land regulations that are compatible with the Netherworld, the first task is to investigate the Netherworld.

You know, Yang Xuan has the memories of his past life. He has been conducting research in Heaven for many years with the help of incense and golden bodies, and has gained sufficient understanding of the composition of Heaven and the duties of the gods and immortals in Heaven.

It took a lot of time to establish 129,600 Heavenly Rules, but it was not done behind closed doors or imagined out of thin air.

Minghe did not conduct research on the underworld like he did, and he probably didn't even know the composition of the underworld. He just copied the Heavenly Rules, which were completely inapplicable to the situation in the underworld. How could he possibly succeed?
The funniest thing is that he has this rule in his local rules:
The witch clan is required to perform their duties in the underworld diligently, just like the gods in heaven, and not slack off in the slightest. Violators will be severely punished.

Isn't this just looking for trouble? After experiencing the wizard-lich calamity, the wizard clan suffered heavy losses, with only one in ten left. Mount Buzhou was knocked down by Gonggong, and the Ancestral Wizard Temple was severely damaged and can no longer be used.

Today's witch clan can only give birth to offspring through normal means, and this is also the most important thing for the witch clan now.

If these few people in the Netherworld really follow the rules of the Styx, wouldn't that force the Witch Clan to give up their reproduction and force them into a dead end?

Second, strictly speaking, the underworld should correspond to the ancient starry sky and the thirty-three heavens.

The Heavenly Court is the law enforcement agency of the ancient starry sky and the thirty-three heavens.

However, the underworld does not have a corresponding law enforcement agency and can only rely on Hou Tu Niangniang and a group of witches, plus the spontaneous operation of the underworld tunnels to maintain stability and be responsible for the reincarnation of billions of endless undead souls in the prehistoric world.

Hou Tu is a saint after all, and Yang Xuan is not sure about the situation, but the situation of the Wu clan is definitely more miserable than that of Haotian and Queen Mother.

The witch clan has no soul, so they are good at fighting, but dealing with the cycle of life and death of the undead is somewhat difficult for them.

In addition, the number of the tribe members is too small, so it is impossible for a ghost to come and take away the soul when the lifespan of a living being reaches the end as in later generations. They can only rely on the underground reincarnation to spontaneously absorb the dead souls.

Therefore, the most important thing for the tunnel now is not to establish underground rules, but to establish a law enforcement agency belonging to the Netherworld. This is also the main purpose of Yang Xuan's visit to the Netherworld this time, which is -

Build the underworld!

But Yang Xuan couldn’t understand why the underground rules set by the Styx had such a big problem. How could Hou Tu, as a saint, not see it? How could she agree to the Styx’s announcement of the underground tunnel?
"You can't..."

"Minghe is so desperate that he took the initiative to use the power of the underground to announce the underground rules without the consent of the lady?!"

Yang Xuan rubbed his chin, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Logically speaking, the Styx should not be so stubborn, but as a saint, it is impossible for Hou Tu to fail to see the major hidden dangers of the earth's rules.

Rumble——!
At this moment, deep in the underworld, the reincarnation place suddenly shook violently, and the sea of ​​blood changed again...
