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

Chapter 32: The Method to Perfect the Earthly Path – Establishing City Gods and Earth Gods among Humans? Is You Xiang Interfering in Human Affairs?

Upon hearing the words of the Fengdu Emperor, among the great sages of the human race, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan and Cangjie, the ancestor of literature, were both thoughtful. Then, Fuxi's gentle voice rang out in the Fire Cloud Cave.

"Third brother, what do you think about Yu Lei and Shen Tu being appointed as the Eastern Ghost Emperors?"

After a moment's thought, Xuanyuan said, "I think it's quite acceptable."

Not only the Yellow Emperor, but also the Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors, and Four Ancestors secretly speculated that Yu Lei and Shen Tu's appointment as Eastern Ghost Emperors must have something to do with Su Shao Chen.

After all, during Su Shao Chen's journey in the Netherworld, Wen Zu and Xuanyuan Huangdi also lent him a helping hand.

No sooner had Su Shao Chen entered the Netherworld and taken control of the laws than the newly born innate deity, the Great Emperor of Fengdu, announced that he would bestow the title of Eastern Ghost Emperor upon Yu Lei and Shen Tu. If Su Shao Chen were not involved, they would never have believed it.

"Good," Fuxi nodded and said.

Moments later, the figures of Yu Lei and Shen Tu appeared in the primordial wilderness in front of the Fire Cloud Cave.

"Yu Lei and Shen Tu pay their respects to the Great Emperor of Fengdu. We are honored by the Great Emperor's favor and wish to serve in the Underworld."

Since the Battle of the Deer, their cultivation levels had stagnated at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, remaining unchanged for tens of thousands of years. This appointment in the Underworld was a fortuitous opportunity for them.

Moreover, the Yellow Emperor gave the two of them some subtle advice, which naturally made them more willing to enter the Netherworld.

"Good!" The Emperor of Fengdu nodded.

Yu Lei and Shen Tu were indeed destined for the position of the Eastern Ghost Emperor. Moreover, appointing Yu Lei and Shen Tu as the Eastern Ghost Emperors also involved the next step of the Underworld's plan after the completion of the project, which was to establish the positions of City God and Earth God.

Once the Netherworld is fully established, the positions of City God and Earth God will be created, allowing for the continued expansion and improvement of the underground passages.

However, if we want to establish a city god and a land god in the human land, we must discuss it with the sages of Huoyun Cave. This can be considered as a way of showing goodwill to the sages in advance.

After sealing the Eastern Ghost Emperor, most of what can be improved has been improved. The rest will need to be improved through gradual development.

For example, the other four emperors of the Five Ghost Emperors, the Six Heavens of Luo Feng, the Six Case Officers, the Four Judges, the Ten Underworld Marshals, and the Seventy-Six Departments have not yet appeared. This is either because suitable candidates have not yet emerged, or because time is needed to accumulate and perfect these roles...

On the other side, Su Shao Chen also told Consort Ping Xin about his idea of ​​establishing City God and Earth God in the human land. After listening and making some deductions, Consort Ping Xin couldn't help but take a deep look at Su Shao Chen, and at the same time understood the reason why Su Shao Chen had decided to appoint the Eastern Ghost Emperor.

"Very well, this matter will be entrusted to you," said Consort Pingxin.

As for establishing City Gods and Land Gods in human lands, it would be even better if it could improve the Underworld Path. As for interfering in human affairs, she had neither the interest nor the time to get involved.

Several saints among the human race have already entered the fray; even if she were to intervene, the other saints would likely be unwilling…

After bestowing the title of Eastern Ghost Emperor, the Fengdu Emperor activated the power originally bestowed upon Su Shao Chen, and an aura of sainthood permeated the primordial world.

"I, the Primordial Deity Fengdu Emperor, upholding the Way of Earth, established the Underworld, opened the eighteen levels of Hell, and perfected the cycle of reincarnation. For my merits to Heaven and Earth, I shall be the Northern Underworld Fengdu Emperor, wielding the power of the netherworld, governing all things in the Underworld, and becoming the ancestor of all ghosts. All who have experienced the cycle of life and death shall be the head of the Northern Underworld Fengdu Emperor. May the Way of Earth bear witness!"

The voice of the Emperor of Fengdu not only resounded throughout the netherworld, but was also clearly heard by all living beings in the primordial world.

Suddenly, the primordial tunnel appeared, a path completely different from the Heavenly Dao.

"Granted!" Instantly, the supreme Dao sound resounded throughout the primordial world.

Although countless beings in the primordial world already knew about or had seen the underground passages, the Heavenly Dao was the most revered principle in the primordial world. Therefore, every time an underground passage appeared, countless beings could clearly feel its terror and its aura, which was completely different from the Heavenly Dao.

Nuwa, in the Heaven of Nuwa, pierced through the void and looked at the Earthly Dao, which was weaker than the Heavenly Dao. She couldn't help but sigh softly, "The creation is wonderful... but the human way is even worse..."

Then, endless laws of creation appeared in Nuwa's Heaven, as if somewhat unwilling.

Taiqing Laozi of Shouyang Mountain looked at the underground passage expressionlessly. At present, the underground passage can only produce one saint, and its power is still countless compared with the Heavenly Dao.

Mount Sumeru, Kunlun, and Jin'ao Island in the west all calmly observed this tunnel. The tunnel leads into the Netherworld, where only Pingxin remains. Even if they wanted to interfere in the affairs of the tunnel, it would be extremely difficult, let alone for them, who are Heavenly Saints...

The merits from the earth descended, causing the Netherworld to tremble. The Three Thousand Great Daos flowed endlessly, and the merits were as vast as the sea, like a golden river hanging upside down, making the Netherworld sky splendid.

The Emperor of Fengdu did not absorb this merit. Instead, he put it away. At the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he still needed to cultivate. Using the merit would affect his future growth. Moreover, the merit was of little use to him. It would be better to let his main body increase its cultivation.

Countless beings from the netherworld, along with a host of officially appointed guardians of the underworld, respectfully shouted in unison, "Greetings, Great Emperor of Fengdu, Northern Yin!"

At this moment, the Emperor of Fengdu became the protagonist, while Su Shao Chen, who was at the beginning, seemed to have been ignored.

This time, the Netherworld has undergone a major reshuffle. The original Lord of Mount Tai no longer holds power in the Netherworld, and his fate is currently unknown.

The one who regained control of the Netherworld was a newly born innate deity, who seemed to be highly regarded by the Netherworld being, and even held the Book of Life and Death and the Spring and Autumn Reincarnation Pen, thus becoming the spokesperson for the Netherworld.

This change baffled even some powerful beings from the primordial era. A newly born deity was so highly regarded by the Netherworld being that he had even handed over the Book of Man to him...

Some powerful beings also keenly noticed the changes and opportunities in the Netherworld and wanted to enter it to see if they could get a good position in the Underworld.

"Su Shao Chen thanks Your Majesty for your support." As he spoke, Su Shao Chen had already donned the Heavenly Crown and black robe, transforming into a majestic and imposing Emperor of Fengdu.

"Fengdu is the domain of the Netherworld God. Your relationship with it is very close. Helping you is naturally helping the Netherworld. I only hope that you will live up to the Netherworld's expectations and govern the Netherworld well while you are in charge."

The Emperor of Fengdu also cupped his hands and assured Consort Pingxin, "Yes, Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will certainly not let you down."

His clone, now the Emperor of Fengdu, naturally has his fortune and strength closely related to the Underworld, so he naturally wants to find a way to govern the Netherworld and make the Underworld stronger.

Then Su Shao Chen explained to Lady Pingxin in detail the matter of establishing City Gods and Earth Gods among the human race.

"Once all the underworld personnel have returned to their posts, a City God can be established in every human city as an extension of the underworld. The selection of the City God can be made by the human race themselves. They will fulfill their responsibilities in the underworld, protect the safety of the area, and govern the good and evil in the underworld... Each village can have its own land, which will ensure the safety of the people and the farmers, and protect the safety of the village..."

…………

After the Netherworld was created, it began to operate. During the initial period, the Fengdu Emperor and the Ten Kings of Hell had to build up their forces while also guiding the souls of the dead.

Su Shao Chen, on the other hand, was quite free. Ever since the Fengdu Emperor became his clone, he was also able to comprehend the mysteries of the Netherworld Laws and the Book of Man.

Therefore, Su Shao Chen spent his days either cultivating or observing and comprehending the "Book of Ghosts" in the underworld.

Su Shao Chen has already written some of the opening chapters of the "Book of Ghostly Paths," and since the Great Emperor of Fengdu is at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he basically consults himself when he encounters problems in cultivation...
