Primordial Era: Refusing Hongjun's path to sainthood, I attained the Dao of Hunyuan.

Chapter 131 Earth Transformation Reincarnation

Xuanhuang pointed a finger and finally transmitted the information about Houtu's reincarnation to Houtu and Styx, both of whom were shocked.

After digesting the information, Houtu's face turned even paler, while Styx's expression was also complicated.

He realized he had been overthinking things; he had previously believed that the Asura race, as Xuanhuang had mentioned, would become the new protagonists of the world.

But now it is clear that although the Asura race is one of the six realms, the new protagonist of the world is not the Asura race.

Instead, it is the human race.

They're still humans!

Styx sighed inwardly, but quickly accepted the outcome, and then felt a deep sense of sympathy for Houtu.

It turns out that after Houtu incarnates into the cycle of reincarnation, she is not completely erased, but rather her true spirit merges with the six realms of reincarnation.

This is why there is a saying that Houtu is forever trapped in the cycle of reincarnation. It is not because of the Heavenly Dao or Hongjun's imprisonment, but because Houtu is reincarnation, and reincarnation is Houtu. How can Houtu escape the cycle of reincarnation?

After her physical body transformed into reincarnation, and her true spirit merged with reincarnation, Houtu was left with only a single thought. Although she was immortal, she also forever lost the possibility of attaining enlightenment.

Moreover, and most cruelly, she had to witness the arrival of the Great Calamity, the tragic deaths of countless clansmen, including the other Ancestral Witches.

Even if the Ancestral Witch perishes, her consciousness will remain and endure in the world. That would be the real torment!

Houtu remained silent for a long time, neither speaking nor taking the Book of Life and Death.

However, Xuanhuang was in no hurry and waited silently. After a long time, Houtu finally took the Book of Life and Death and said to Xuanhuang, "Heavenly Venerable, Houtu is willing to sacrifice herself for reincarnation."

As soon as Houtu uttered these words, the heavens changed instantly, and all sorts of strange phenomena arose in the primordial world, leaving countless beings astonished and bewildered.

There is a faint sense of sadness, which seems to linger between heaven and earth, and surround the hearts of countless beings, making people feel as if they want to shed tears.

The powerful figures from all sides, as well as the saints, all had complicated expressions at this moment. Even the powerful demons in the Thirty-Three Heavens, including Taiyi, Fuxi, Kunpeng, and others, couldn't help but pray towards the Netherworld Blood Sea: "Houtu Niangniang is merciful and compassionate, and her merits are immeasurable."

Xuanhuang also sighed, stood up and bowed halfway to Houtu, saying, "Fellow Daoist Houtu, although your actions may have been driven by selfish motives, they are of immeasurable merit to all living beings, and everyone deserves to bow to you."

Upon hearing this, Styx also quickly bowed to Houtu.

……

Holding the Book of Life and Death, Houtu, along with Xuanhuang and the Styx River, returned to the outside of the Blood Sea once again.

But just then, a burst of celestial music rang out, accompanied by a strange fragrance, and then a figure dressed in a gray Taoist robe suddenly appeared silently in the air.

The figure that appeared was none other than Hongjun.

"Teacher has arrived." Upon seeing this, Xuanhuang quickly bowed to Hongjun.

The Styx River also paid its respects. Even Houtu addressed the Dao Ancestor as such.

"Is everything ready?" Hongjun nodded and asked Xuanhuang.

"Yes, everything is ready."

Xuanhuang replied, then thought for a moment and said to Houtu, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I will not go back on my promise. Once the Netherworld is formed and the rules of reincarnation are manifested, I will take action. With just a slight alteration, I can ensure that after the Wu Clan perishes, their true spirits will be drawn into the Six Paths and enter the cycle of reincarnation to be reborn."

Houtu nodded and said to Xuanhuang, "Thank you, Heavenly Venerable."

Xuanhuang shook his head. At this moment, he saw all the saints descending one after another: Nuwa, the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Zhenyuanzi.

Even powerful figures from all sides flocked to the Netherworld Blood Sea.

Everyone paid their respects to Hongjun, but dared not speak, and simply watched the scene silently.

Xuanhuang first ordered the Styx River to relocate all the Asuras from the Blood Sea, and then signaled to Houtu that it was time to begin.

Houtu looked towards the East Sea. The eleven Ancestral Witches were now suppressed in the East Sea. However, according to the Heavenly Secrets, these Ancestral Witches also knew that Houtu was about to undergo reincarnation. They were all extremely angry and kept attacking the barrier set up by Xuanhuang.

But how could they possibly break through? They all cursed Xuanhuang and wept bitterly.

Xuanhuang was not heartless, but there was always someone who had to be the villain. Since he did not establish a religion and could not share in the fortune of education, he could only take the fortune of the underworld.

This was also for the sake of his three disciples. With this fortune, if the three of them really had hope of attaining enlightenment in the future, they would have something to rely on.

Therefore, Xuanhuang asked Hongjun for the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen, so that after Houtu reincarnated, he could establish the Underworld and occupy this share of fortune.

At this moment, the secrets of heaven were revealed, and all the sages knew about Xuanhuang's scheme. They were all extremely jealous, but with Hongjun present, they were powerless to do anything about it.

We could only watch helplessly.

"My brothers, and Sister Xuanming, Houtu is going now." Houtu murmured to herself, then gave a soft shout, revealing her true form as an Ancestral Witch above the sea of ​​blood.

"I wish to sacrifice myself to transform the six realms of reincarnation and draw upon the boundless Weak Water; I wish to sacrifice myself to endure endless suffering and eliminate the resentment of all spirits; I wish to sacrifice myself to fulfill the responsibility of reincarnation and death, and bring blessings to the realm; I wish to sacrifice myself to emulate the great virtue of Father Pangu in creating the heavens and earth, and relieve the suffering of all beings..."

Houtu held the Book of Life and Death in her hands and silently prayed to Heaven.

"Excellent!" Hongjun exclaimed upon seeing this. The Book of Life and Death in Houtu's hand shone even brighter, emanating an endless aura of life and death.

Hongjun pointed again, and instantly, to the astonishment and bewilderment of the Styx River, the seabed of the Blood Sea, which was nearly dried up, suddenly surged with torrents of blood, which transformed into a sea and continued to rise.

"Boom!!"

The entire primordial world darkened at this moment, becoming pitch black, as if the light of the sun, moon, and stars had completely vanished.

All that remained was the vast, boundless golden light of merit floating above Houtu's head.

When Houtu was to be reborn, Heaven bestowed upon her an immense amount of merit, more than ever before.

The merits of all the saints who established the religion are far incomparable, and even the merits of Nuwa who created humankind are not even half of the merits of this incarnation and reincarnation.

The torrent of merit flowed into Houtu's body.

The aura emanating from Houtu immediately surged, becoming increasingly terrifying. Her true form as an ancestral witch also grew larger and larger, eventually becoming even taller than the true form of Pangu, which was formed by the fusion of the twelve ancestral witches.

Suddenly, Houtu's entire body exploded and transformed into countless rays of spiritual light, which gathered together to form a giant wheel.

This wheel is the Wheel of Reincarnation of the Six Realms, which consists of six realms: the realm of gods, the realm of humans, the realm of asuras, the realm of hungry ghosts, the realm of animals, and the realm of hell.

The six-path wheel of reincarnation slowly sank downwards, and in Styx's pained gaze, the sea that had just surged high quickly receded.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation Wheel, devouring the endless sea of ​​blood, grew ever larger.

In the end, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc swallowed up most of the sea of ​​blood, and only then did it reach its limit.

It will no longer devour the waters of the sea of ​​blood.
