Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 66, Section 65: Houtu Transforms into Reincarnation, Ji Yuan Divides into Six Paths

"Reincarnation!"

When Houtu uttered those two words, it seemed as if a raging tide had been stirred up in the netherworld.

"The rising and setting of the sun and moon, the flow of yin and yang, and the alternation of the four seasons are the cycle of heaven and earth. From a seed to flowering and fruiting and then back to seeding again, this is the cycle of plants."

"Where do all sentient beings in the primordial world reincarnate?"

Houtu uttered a thought that resonated deeply.

She suddenly looked at the Netherworld before her.

“After death, sentient beings become spirits, either disappearing into the world or wandering aimlessly in ignorance.”

"The end of life is death, the beginning of death is the spirit, the destination of the spirit is the underworld, and the beginning of all living beings is the mortal world."

"The underworld and the mortal world lack the cycle of reincarnation!"

"But how does the cycle of life and death alternate?"

Houtu was confused and pondered.

"The pure air rises and becomes the sky, while the turbid air sinks and becomes the earth. The underworld is the result of the interweaving and evolution of turbid air and yin air."

Ji Yuan's voice drifted over, seemingly piercing through the ages.

"Heaven? Earth? Netherworld?"

Houtu still had some doubts.

Suddenly she remembered that after the three lectures at Zixiao Palace, the Dao Ancestor felt that the Dao of Heaven was incomplete, so he merged with the Dao of Heaven to perfect it.

"The earth and the underworld are born together; the incompleteness of the underworld is actually the incompleteness of the underground passage!"

Houtu had figured everything out at this moment, and she radiated an aura of profound enlightenment.

A vast aura shook the void as she walked step by step into the Netherworld.

Upon entering the Netherworld, Houtu felt an unprecedented sense of belonging; it seemed as if this was where she belonged.

At the same time, she also noticed that the tunnel was incomplete.

She suddenly smiled with relief; she was the ancestral witch of the earth and the ancestral witch of the land.

"The Dao Ancestor was able to merge with the Dao to complete the Heavenly Dao, and I, being a descendant of the Father God, can do the same."

"I shall dedicate my body to the cycle of reincarnation!"

"Boom!"

As Houtu finished speaking, the netherworld churned, the universe trembled, and the heavens and earth roared, with countless beings sensing the change.

Houtu followed her intuition and walked forward, each step spanning billions of light-years.

Finally, she seemed to have reached the end of the Netherworld. In front of her stood a divine tree that connected the entire Netherworld, and beside it flowed a long, dark yellow river.

"Buzz!"

Another roar sounded.

The Styx Ancestor, who was cultivating in the Netherworld Blood Sea, felt a tremor in his heart.

"What does Houtu's reincarnation have to do with my Blood Sea?"

Before he could react, seventy percent of the sea of ​​blood vanished, creating a passage between the realms of Yin and Yang.

"Houtu!"

The Styx Ancestor let out a roar.

The Blood Sea was the foundation of his cultivation, and now that seventy percent of it was gone, it truly pained him to no end. He immediately wanted to go to the Netherworld to demand an explanation.

"Styx, it's time for us to settle our karmic debts!"

Before the Styx Ancestor could take any action, a cheerful voice rang out.

It was Zhen Yuanzi who stood before him, holding the Earth Book.

Without further ado, Zhen Yuanzi hurled the Earth Book at Styx Ancestor, who had no choice but to abandon his journey to the Netherworld and engage Zhen Yuanzi in a magical battle.

After the passage between the two worlds was completed.

Houtu's figure suddenly vanished:
"I am Houtu, and I am saddened by the disorder of life and death, the wandering souls without a home, and the suffering of all living beings. Now, I carry out the will of the Father God to open the cycle of reincarnation for all living beings, in order to mend the way of the earth. From now on, all living beings will have a next life, and all living beings will be born and die in a cycle. May the primordial world exist forever!"

"Reincarnation, stand firm!"

Houtu's voice resounded throughout the entire primordial world. Her ancestral witch body merged into the entire Netherworld, supporting the entire passage between the two realms.

"Boom!" With Houtu's sacrifice, the Heavenly Dao trembled and countless merits descended. Purple Qi came from the east, golden lotuses sprang from the earth, and all sorts of strange phenomena rose up. This was a merit far exceeding that of the saints who established the religion!

When many powerful beings were shaken by Houtu's transformation into a cycle of reincarnation.

Ji Yuan smiled faintly, and a wisp of Xuanhuang Mother Qi appeared in his hand, interwoven with the power of creation.

"The time has come!"

The Primordial Qi of Creation in his hand not only contains the Primordial Qi of All Things, but also a wisp of the origin of his Great Dao of Creation.

Placing this primordial energy of creation at the spot where Houtu perished, Ji Yuan gazed at the passage connecting Yin and Yang, muttering to himself:
"It's time to come!"

As soon as the words fell, eleven ancestral witches, whose auras shook the heavens, carried a pool of blood radiating vast vitality from the passage.

They cried out in unison, "Little sister, use the blood pool to reunite your body!"

As the blood pool fell, it stirred up countless streams of turbid energy, and its vitality cleansed away the deathly aura of the underworld for hundreds of millions of miles.

The boundless blood energy combined with the primordial energy of creation, and instantly the body of Houtu was formed.

Zhu Jiuyin glanced at Ji Yuan and slowly nodded.

When Houtu's body solidified, the boundless merits of the Heavenly Dao merged with her body, instantly transforming into a golden body of merit.

When her life force was completely stabilized, Houtu slowly opened her eyes, and an aura far surpassing that of a Quasi-Saint erupted from her body.

This is sainthood!
The aura of the sage instantly swept across the primordial world, leaving all living beings in awe.

"Houtu not only did not die, but also attained the position of a sage!"

The netherworld trembled, a cause for celebration for Houtu.

Streaks of light came from the depths of the netherworld.

The Primordial Treasure, the Reincarnation Disc!
The Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure: The Book of Life and Death!
The Wheel of Reincarnation governs the cycle of all things, while the Book of Life and Death governs the lifespan of all things.

Houtu looked at the eleven ancestral witches with a puzzled expression, then looked at Ji Yuan and said:

"Thank you for your great fortune, fellow Daoist."

Ji Yuan waved and smiled:
"Fellow Daoist, your transformation into the cycle of reincarnation is an act of great compassion. My actions are merely a good deed."

He then added:

"Fellow Daoist, don't you think this kind of reincarnation is too rudimentary?"

Houtu looked puzzled.

Ji Yuan smiled faintly and spoke:
"I, Ji Yuan, now wield the Netherworld Emperor's Sword, and will further subdivide the cycle of reincarnation established by the Supreme Sage Houtu."

“Establish three good paths: the path of heaven, the path of humanity, and the path of asura.”

“Establish three evil realms: the realm of hell, the realm of hungry ghosts, and the realm of animals.”

"Those who are reborn are classified according to the good and evil karma they accumulated in their previous life."

As Ji Yuan finished speaking, the cycle of reincarnation began to stir again, gradually evolving into the Six Paths.

The cycle of six realms of reincarnation has begun!
The Great Dao trembled the next moment, and a dazzling light emerged from the primordial world, transforming into a mass of Great Dao merit that fell into the Netherworld.

This is the merit of Pangu in creating the world.

When Pangu created the world, he bestowed merits, and 20% of them were hidden in the primordial world.

At this moment, Houtu established the cycle of reincarnation, and Ji Yuanxing subdivided the process, completely restoring the disorder of life and death, which actually attracted one-tenth of the Great Dao's merit to descend.

Subsequently, this 10% of the Great Dao merit was further subdivided, with 70% going to Houtu and 30% going to Jiyuan's spiritual platform.

Houtu's aura immediately stabilized completely, and Ji Yuan's physical body and understanding of the Great Dao increased significantly, allowing him to enter the mid-stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.

All living beings in the primordial world felt a sense of urgency and respectfully bowed towards the Netherworld.

"Homage to the Greatly Compassionate and Merciful Earth Goddess, and Homage to the Underworld Emperor Ji Yuan."

However, the expressions of the demon Emperor Jun and Donghuang changed. Houtu has entered sainthood. What should the demon race do?

As if sensing their thoughts, the primordial Heavenly Dao trembled, and a thought spread throughout the ten directions of the boundless.

"Sages must not interfere in matters of great calamity!"

Di Jun and Donghuang Taifang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Houtu seemed to have known all along, her expression remaining unchanged.
