The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 356 The Immortal's Words on Reincarnation, Breaking Boundaries and Transcending

Luo Zu naturally didn't take this minor scene to heart.

But looking at the stubborn eyes of the Heavenly Lords, he felt somewhat dazed.

Back then, when he created these "dolls," each of them had eyes that were clear yet slightly confused.

Now they've gone through so many twists and turns, even more complicated than the Nine Turns of the Intestine.

The depth of this sentiment was so profound that even Luo Zu could only lament the cruel twist of fate.

However, he had already guessed that things would turn out this way, and he had even "witnessed it firsthand."

As for getting them to abandon their prejudices and racial biases, that would be too difficult. After all, race is determined by birth. Even if they become immortals, there will still be differences between different races. After all, not all of them have evolved into the immortal race and become one race.

Unless a Heavenly Emperor emerges and uses overwhelming power to suppress countless races, turning them into a demon race.

Such an existence could only have appeared once in the primordial world. How could such an existence appear in a world like the World Within a Pot, which was secretly controlled by the Ancestor of Luo?

If that's true, then Luo Zu is like an old man eating poison—he's tired of living.

Luo Zu believed that he himself could not withstand a "Heavenly Emperor".

If such a talented person were to appear, Luo Zu would surely harden his heart and deal with him.

Of course, if Ancestor Luo's cultivation is exceptionally high, he could accommodate a Heavenly Emperor.

After all, even the Heavenly Emperor of the Primordial Era could be tolerated by a certain Dao Ancestor who wished to remain anonymous.

Luo Zu only smiled faintly at the Heavenly Lords' minor "questioning" and did not show any anger.

He simply said, "Please invite the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds to the Immortal Realm to discuss the matters of concern to you."

With Luo Zu's words, the outcome was basically confirmed.

All eight million immortals present knew the outcome, but for the lesser immortals, the result was of little concern to them.

After all, it's difficult for them to profit from it.

It's better to tremble in fear below, hoping that these big shots' power struggle won't affect them.

As for the Heavenly Lords involved, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the Immortal Elder did not directly reprimand them, which meant that there was still room for maneuver in this matter.

"We will obey the Immortal Elder's decree!" the immortals chanted, bowing their heads.

Soon, the crane statue standing beside the immortal elder came to life, then snatched a golden inscription from the immortal elder's hand and flew away as swiftly as lightning.

Its speed was extremely fast, and since the "flow of time" in the Immortal Realm had now returned to normal, the immortals did not have to wait long. The crane carried the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds through the void and directly arrived at this vast and spiritually rich Immortal Realm.

"The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds has arrived!" Amidst cheers, the figure who had been at the center of public opinion in the Immortal Realm for many years finally arrived.

He quickly arrived at the hall, passed through the crowd of immortals, and came to the throne of the Immortal Elder.

"I greet all the great immortals and the venerable immortals," said the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds in a clear and powerful voice.

Luo Zu nodded, and the other Heavenly Lords followed suit, while the rest could only watch him with smiles.

Yang knew that he had reached a crossroads in his life, which was crucial. But he also understood one thing: he was personally appointed by the Immortal Elder. As long as the Immortal Elder did not change his mind, the subsequent matters would be simple.

Therefore, he only needs to observe the Immortal Elder's attitude.

But there is a big problem: his cultivation is really insufficient, while every Celestial Lord in the Immortal Realm is a Mysterious Immortal. How can he, a mere Celestial Immortal, suppress them?

Moreover, after leaving the Nine Netherworld, he clearly felt powerless. The blessing of the power of the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Netherworld was rapidly decreasing, leaving him with only a small amount of power that was originally enough to contend with the Demon Lord Xuanxian of the Heavenly Demon Realm.

Although Shinto has reached the final step, he cannot obtain the power that Shinto should have until he takes that final step.

Therefore, if he were to face so many Xuanxian, he really wouldn't be very confident.

However, to his surprise, the immortal elder immediately got to the point: "Yang, I wish to invite you to be the Heavenly Emperor of the Immortal Realm. Would you be willing?"

No one expected the Immortal Elder to be so direct, without first explaining the Nine Netherworld Lord's achievements and virtues.

But Luo Zu didn't care about any of that. He was about to transcend "ascension," and he really couldn't be bothered to care about the situation of the World in the Pot.

Now that the Immortal Realm is in this state, calamity energy is bound to abound. If his own body hadn't been trapped here, he might have been able to see what the calamity energy was like. But unfortunately, he created this body in the past to experience the calamity energy and the path of tribulation. Now, he has also caused this clone to be trapped here and has no choice but to pull it out.

These people are all eager to fight for his position, which could give him the opportunity to get out of this mess completely.

While we're at it, let's also take a look at how the Great Dao of Calamity and Tribulation operates, gain a deeper understanding, and then let another Dao flower bloom – that's the right path.

With this in mind, Luo Zu decided to put the matter out in the open without any reservations.

When Luo Zu uttered these words, the crowd below naturally erupted in uproar.

The matter of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds succeeding the Immortal Elder has been a hot topic for hundreds of years. It has been circulating among the eight million people in the heavens for centuries, and has become several different stories. Now, they have all changed their meaning. Some ascendants from the lower realms have even fabricated stories that the Immortal Elder and the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds have some kind of relationship, claiming that the Immortal Elder is the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds' father, which is why he is carrying out the succession of the dynasty in the human world.

As for whether the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds has the ability to secure his position in the Immortal Realm, they will leave that aside for now. Even if the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds has governed the Nine Netherworlds in an orderly manner, so what?

The Celestial Realm is not comparable to the Nine Netherworlds; how could the Nine Netherworlds compare to the Celestial Realm?

Yang was equally stunned upon hearing this.

Although I am grateful to the Immortal Elder for keeping his promise, I am also surprised that the Immortal Elder is so direct and does not say any more polite words. Is he in such a hurry?

But things have come to this point, and the old immortal has already asked; can he still cower like a turtle?

"I'm willing." He agreed to the old immortal's request amidst a multitude of bewildered gazes.

Luo Zu nodded slowly: "Excellent, very excellent."

"In that case, you shall invite another person to handle the affairs of the Netherworld. From now on, you shall rule the Immortal Realm and be promoted to Heavenly Emperor." Ancestor Luo clapped his hands in praise.

Yang was still somewhat bewildered by how quickly she had taken office.

"To whom should we entrust this matter of the Nine Netherworlds? I hope the Immortal Elder can enlighten us." Yang couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he threw the question to Luo Zu.

"The matter of the Nine Netherworlds is of great importance. I intend to establish a system of reincarnation within it. I have already implanted the Treasure of the Dead, and will gradually add related authority in the future. Therefore, many powerful beings are needed to oversee the Nine Netherworlds," Luo Zu pondered.

No one expected that the Immortal Elder would reveal so many important matters at this gathering.

Those who hear about reincarnation will understand its importance to all realms.

In the future, the Nine Netherworld will likely rise significantly, possibly even becoming comparable to the Immortal Realm.

But if the Immortal Elder brought this up, then he must already have made arrangements.

No one should interfere; just follow orders.

Upon hearing Luo Zu's words, Yang couldn't help but recall a strange event that occurred many years ago in the Nine Netherworld.

The immortal then appeared before them.

He had initially thought it was to strengthen the Nine Netherworlds and use them to suppress some ancient demon, but now it seemed that it was actually a prelude to today's events.

The Immortal Elder truly lives up to his reputation as an "antique" that has survived from ancient times.

As he pondered, the Immortal Elder began calling out names, ordering these people to govern the Nine Netherworlds: "Five Organs, Lonely, Green, Seven Emotions, Four Leaves, Eight Old, Angry River, are you all willing to enter the Nine Netherworlds and take charge of the place of reincarnation throughout the myriad realms?"

Those whose names were called all raised their heads in confusion, wondering why Luo Zu had chosen them.

But since Luo Zu had given the order, they naturally had no choice but to obey.

"Yes, sir!"

"Hmm." Luo Zu nodded, acknowledging their obedience.

Many people gradually realized at this moment that Luo Zu's assignment was not without purpose.

The five internal organs represent humans, the solitary one represents barbarians, the green one represents demons, the seven emotions represent celestial beings, the four leaves represent elves, the raging river represents sea creatures, and the eight old ones represent fairies. Most sentient beings among humans and celestial beings are included in this classification.

After giving the order, Luo Zu slowly exhaled, releasing eight strands of immortal energy, which transformed into eight talisman tokens in front of everyone.

These tokens then fell into the hands of the seven henchmen and Yang.

"From now on, you will rule the Nine Netherworlds, and Yang will rule the Immortal Realm, dividing and ruling them." Luo Zu set the final tone.

At this moment, everyone finally understood the meaning behind Elder Xian's arrangement.

Although the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds was promoted to the Celestial Realm and became the Heavenly Emperor, seven others entered the Nine Netherworlds and seized the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds' power. They could also control the Central Plains by issuing decrees from the Immortal Elders. This was both a balance and a way to appease the people, so that these people would not truly rebel against Heaven and disobey his arrangements after he left the Celestial Realm.

As for whether the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds can reclaim all power for the Immortal Realm, that depends on him.

"I will obey the Immortal Elder's command!"

All the immortals then bowed down in submission.

The immortal nodded, then sighed, "After I break through the boundary, when the demon realm invades, you must cooperate sincerely and not lose sight of the bigger picture by focusing on small gains, allowing the demon realm to wreak havoc on the three realms."

"Elder Immortal, the Demon Realm is powerful, and the Heavenly Demon King is strong. We are afraid we will not be able to resist him. Do you have any brilliant ideas?" The Seven Emotions Heavenly Lord hurriedly called out.

"I wouldn't call myself a genius. I once traveled through the Void Sea with my primordial spirit and discovered two new worlds. One world is inhabited only by dragons, and contains a celestial dragon, which is extremely powerful. You can associate with it."

"In another realm, only artifacts can exist. I merged my primordial spirit with it, offering a wisp of my thoughts and a drop of my essence, and I was able to invite an artifact spirit to cross over. You can do the same to invite artifact spirits to assist you. When I swept through this realm with my primordial spirit, I discovered eighteen spiritual saints, comparable to divine treasures. If the Heavenly Demon King were to personally descend upon the Immortal Realm, you can offer up the faith of all living beings to invite him."

Even now, Luo Zu hasn't forgotten to update the War of the Realms DLC.

As Luo Zu explained these things, the immortals were naturally moved to tears. Although the Dragon Realm had actually obtained relevant information from them during their battles with the Demon Realm in recent years, this Artifact Realm was indeed a new discovery.

If they could truly summon the twelve divine treasures, they would dare to fight and risk their lives against the Heavenly Demon King even in his presence.

"Alright, that's all I have to say. My time has come. This place can no longer accommodate me. I'm leaving now."

After the old immortal finished speaking, his figure vanished without a trace, leaving only the soft echo of human voices.
