Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

Chapter 31: Upon his birth, the Great Emperor of Fengdu, at the peak of the Great Luo realm, bestowed upon Yu Lei and Shen Tu the title of Eastern Ghost Emperor.

Having grasped the meaning, Su Shao Chen softly shouted, "The Book of Man Appears!"

The Book of Life and Death and the Spring and Autumn Reincarnation Brush suddenly appeared before Su Shao Chen, exuding an extraordinary aura.

"Refine~"

The endless laws of the netherworld appeared, making Su Shao Chen's aura overwhelming. After the Book of Man appeared, Su Shao Chen began to refine it.

In just a short time, he refined all the restrictions of the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and the Book of Man was completely mastered by Su Shao Chen.

After refining the Book of Man, Su Shao Chen released his primordial spirit, and a primordial spirit blade formed from the power of laws appeared. Su Shao Chen controlled this primordial spirit blade and slashed at his own primordial spirit.

The feeling of his soul being torn apart was so intense that even Su Shao Chen, who possessed supreme magical power, could feel endless pain.

"town!"

A netherworld law that could make even the primordial spirit feel endless warmth appeared, constantly soothing the severed primordial spirit, and soon the pain of the soul being torn apart could no longer be felt.

Looking at the wisp of primordial spirit he had severed, Su Shao Chen pointed his finger, and the wisp of his primordial spirit surged into the Book of Man.

One after another, the laws of the netherworld appeared, constantly merging his wisp of primordial spirit with the Book of Man, making them one whole.

After doing all this, Su Shao Chen waved his hand, and the River of Time was summoned.

Su Shao Chen reached out and unleashed the endless Netherworld Laws. The wisp of primordial spirit illusion he had severed appeared on the River of Time and Space, surrounded by countless Netherworld auras, forming a Great Luo Dao Fruit that stood tall on the long river of primordial time and space.

"Fengdu has appeared!"

Su Shao Chen shouted, and the Book of Man, which was originally surrounded by the laws of the Netherworld, began to change continuously. The thick and vast energy was condensed in the sky above the Book of Man, and the Book of Man, which was infused with a wisp of primordial spirit, also began to take shape continuously.

A primordial deity of the Netherworld was born, and the primordial earth sensed it. In an instant, flowers rained down from the heavens and golden lotuses sprang from the earth throughout the Netherworld.

It was as if the entire underworld was happy for the birth of Fengdu, and countless dense yin energies condensed into rain and mist, benefiting countless creatures in the underworld.

Some powerful beings with considerable cultivation sensed the movement of the Netherworld and began to deduce it. Although the secrets of heaven had been disrupted, they were still able to deduce some information about the Netherworld.

For a moment, some powerful beings in the primordial world were surprised, because a primordial deity was about to be born in the Netherworld, and this primordial deity was born very late, which meant that its foundation was extremely solid, even stronger than that of the Lord of Mount Tai!

As for the origin of this information, they couldn't possibly know. It was as if the secrets of heaven had been deliberately concealed, and no one could deduce it.

The entire Netherworld was in an uproar. Almost all the innate deities had been born several eons ago, but unexpectedly, another innate deity was born now.

Although the beings of the underworld do not know the origin of this innate deity, its emergence at this time must be extraordinary, perhaps even leading to its becoming the ruler of the underworld.

Before long, an aura of a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal swept across the Netherworld, drawing the attention of countless Netherworld beings and powerful beings from the Primordial Era.

A primordial deity who is born at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm is no ordinary being. Such beings are rare even in the entire prehistoric world. Consider the Three Pure Ones, Donghuang Taiyi, Dijun, Nuwa, and others who were born and took human form, yet they only reached this level.

But the fact that this deity of the Netherworld could be compared to the top powerhouses of the Primordial World was enough to shock and surprise them!

A figure wearing a twelve-tassel crown and a black royal robe, looking down majestically upon all living beings and surveying the eight wastelands, appeared in the sky above the netherworld.

"I shall become the Great Emperor of Fengdu, wielding the power of the netherworld, governing the underworld, and becoming the patriarch of all ghosts!"

The Emperor of Fengdu seemed to possess the power of heaven, his voice resounding throughout the underworld under the blessing of endless laws of the netherworld, and even reaching the primordial land.

Some spirits of the underworld sensed the aura of the Emperor of Fengdu and respectfully bowed, saying, "Greetings, Emperor of Fengdu!"

The appearance of the Fengdu Emperor made all the beings in the underworld understand that from now on, the Fengdu Emperor would be the one in charge, the one who would hold the power of killing and wielding authority over the underworld.

As for the former Lord of Mount Tai, that is a thing of the past. Whether in the future or now, only the Emperor of Fengdu is in charge of the Netherworld and the Underworld!

"This humble Daoist from Fengdu greets fellow Daoist!"

Upon hearing this, Su Shao Chen smiled and returned the greeting, saying, "This humble Taoist, Wen Chang Dao Ren, greets Fellow Taoist of Feng Du."

The two seemed to be of one mind, inseparable, as Fengdu was the transformation of Su Shao Chen's primordial spirit and the transformation of the Netherworld Dao Fruit.

Strictly speaking, it is not a simple clone, but more like a twin with a shared understanding.

"Peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!" Su Shao Chen looked at his clone, which had actually reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. It truly lived up to its reputation as the "Book of Man," one of the three books of Heaven, Earth, and Man!

The fact that the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm was created simply because of the times makes one imagine how terrifying the cultivation of those top-tier primordial beings with extraordinary backgrounds must be.

However, his own clone was no less impressive. Formed from the Book of Man, it possessed a profound foundation, and reaching the Quasi-Saint realm was only a matter of time. Thinking about the clone's future cultivation speed, even Su Shao Chen felt a pang of envy. Different people, different fates!

"Fellow Daoist, I'll leave the rest to you." Su Shao Chen cupped his hands in greeting to the Emperor of Fengdu before disappearing into the Netherworld.

"Good, fellow Daoist, rest assured, I will do my best to improve things while I am in the Underworld." The Emperor of Fengdu also understood his meaning and nodded.

The Great Emperor of Fengdu has been born, so it is most appropriate to leave the rest of the work to him. Besides, it would be too high-profile for me to continue to rule the Netherworld.

Adhering to the principle that creating a clone is also his principle, Su Shao Chen transferred the power given to him by Lady Pingxin to the Emperor of Fengdu before going to the Reincarnation Palace.

After Su Shao Chen left, the Emperor of Fengdu also held the Book of Life and Death and the Spring and Autumn Reincarnation Brush (Soul-Hooking Brush) in his hands. They interacted with his own Netherworld Laws, and in an instant, Netherworld authority was bestowed upon him, and an aura stronger than that bestowed upon his physical body erupted.

"Ten Kings of Hell, emerge!"

The Emperor of Fengdu seemed to be the true ruler of the underworld. As soon as he finished speaking, ten beams of spiritual light split off from his body and landed in the Ten Kings of Hell, transforming into ten Yama Kings with different appearances.

They are King Qin Guang, King Chu Jiang, King Yama, King Tai Shan, King Lun Zhuan, King Ping Deng, King Du Shi, King Bian Cheng, King Wu Guan, and King Song Di.

Each Yama King possesses the cultivation of a Taiyi Golden Immortal. They are all incarnations of the Fengdu Emperor, obtained through the laws of the underworld and the creation of the Book of Man. They are specifically responsible for the operation of the underworld and assisting the Fengdu Emperor in handling underworld affairs.

After the Ten Kings of Hell appeared, the voice of the Great Emperor of Fengdu also resounded throughout the primordial land.

"Where are Yu Lei and Shen Tu? You are destined to become the Eastern Ghost Emperor. Would you be willing to enter my Underworld and assume the position of Eastern Ghost Emperor?"

Yu Lei and Shen Tu, who were inside the Fire Cloud Cave, were also taken aback by the words of the Fengdu Emperor. They hadn't expected to be caught up in the gossip themselves.

They were originally the leaders of demons and monsters, serving under Chi You during the reign of the Three Sovereigns of the Human Race, specifically during the reign of Emperor Xuanyuan. They were captured in the Battle of Zhuolu and later submitted to Emperor Xuanyuan.

In the Xuanyuan Temple of the human race, the two divine messengers located to the left and right of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan are them.

The voice of the Fengdu Emperor was also heard by many powerful beings in the prehistoric world, who all looked towards the Fire Cloud Cave. Some even had a strange expectation: had the other four Ghost Emperors also been born, or were they destined to meet them?

The Five Ghost Emperors are second only to the Emperor of Fengdu, wielding immense power in the underworld, along with terrifying fortune and fixed merits...
