The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 733 The Great Sage of the Northern Yin, the Emperor of Fengdu (Construction Completed)

Even Luo Zu couldn't quite grasp the Dao Ancestor's intentions. There were quite a few strange things going on. He neither praised nor reprimanded him, but simply let him watch this farce between the witches and demons.

The primordial order has now been established. The Netherworld and Yellow Springs have been recognized by the Heavenly Dao and are the cornerstone of the primordial world, forming the general rules that cannot be changed at will.

Moreover, with the establishment of the Netherworld and Yellow Springs, a major event occurred in the primordial world.

Those were the undead and walking corpses that lurked beneath the earth during the day and roamed the vast land at night, all of whom were plundered by the Netherworld and fell directly into the Netherworld, no longer able to roam freely in the material world.

All the creatures of the primordial world applauded and cheered for this, and were very grateful for the actions of the Netherworld and the Yellow Springs.

However, there are still some resentful spirits who have wandered the primordial world for hundreds of millions of years and still refuse to fall into the Netherworld. Some of them have cultivated the Dao Fruit, and some are even comparable to Taiyi. The Netherworld cannot pull them into the Netherworld.

However, this is not something they cannot do simply because they are unwilling.

Houtu, the ancestral witch, had many capable subordinates. Although she was no longer on the primordial land, she was still the ancestral witch, and many witch tribes had to obey her.

And all those great shamans and top shamans only recognize Houtu.

As for the throne of the Ancestral Witch Houtu in the Ancestral Witch Hall...

It remains in place today, and this position will not be lost as long as Houtu wants to return.

However, Houtu, the ancestral witch, had already made up her mind, and with the decree of the Dao Ancestor, the ancestral witches could no longer "kidnap" her, and could only let her "act according to her will".

Those great shamans then helped the ancestral shaman Houtu to "persuade" the dead spirits at the Golden Immortal and Taiyi realms to enter the Netherworld.

The "persuasion" mentioned here can be divided into persuasion through literature and persuasion through force.

This "martial persuasion" is literally what it means; it refers to persuading them to go to the underworld to reside permanently through a contest of magic.

After arriving in the underworld, Houtu Niangniang did not erase their cultivation and cast them directly into the cycle of reincarnation. Instead, she employed them as underworld spirits.

The demon race has its demon gods, the witch race has its witch gods, and among the ghosts and spirits of the underworld are ghost gods.

The spirits and deities at this time are still unpredictable beings; there are no ox-headed or horse-faced demons, only spirits and deities.

However, there aren't that many ghosts and spirits to capture in the underworld these days. The younger ones are easily led away by the underworld, while the older ones are left to be "persuaded" by the great shamans. So, these ghosts and spirits eventually become assistants to the great shamans in sorting out the ghosts and monsters that have fallen into the underworld.

Time is counted separately in the Netherworld, which is completely different from the time in the Primordial World. One is Yin, and the other is Yang. They do not interfere with each other and complement each other.

In addition, time in the Netherworld is more uniform than on Earth, with the same time everywhere. The flow of time in the Netherworld is three times faster than in the Primordial World, which allows many cultivators to exploit loopholes.

Regardless of the circumstances, the Netherworld has already been established, and some beings have already been escorted there for reincarnation.

Luo Zu witnessed a ghost being given a mouthful of Meng Po soup and then being cast into the cycle of reincarnation.

Yes, Luo Zu sent a clone into the Netherworld to observe the work progress.

Among them, there are still many Taiyi Daluo observing, and some even directly cultivate the Netherworld Methods, then create incarnations and join the ranks of Netherworld ghosts and gods.

What surprised Luo Zu the most was that the Ziwei Emperor separated an incarnation of the Great Sage of the Northern Yin, who directly became the leader of many ghosts and gods, which was in line with his status in the Heavenly Court.

Indeed, the Ziwei Emperor holds a high position in the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race. Although the Heavenly Emperor will suppress him, it is undeniable that the Ziwei Emperor himself is important in the ancient starry sky. He can be a main star, but the Heavenly Emperor only designated him as a main auxiliary star. Only when the sun and moon are no longer the eyes of the Zhou Tian Star Array can the Ziwei Star rise to the top and take the center.

To guard against the Ziwei Emperor, when the Ziwei Star is in charge of the Zhou Tian Star Array, the Twelve Ancient Demon Gods will act as supervisors, capable of demoting the Ziwei Star at any time.

Regardless, Emperor Ziwei originally possessed the rank of Heavenly Emperor, but unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time and could not become the ruler.

But when He manifested in different forms and fell into the netherworld, things were not the same.

Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, gave Him considerable face, perhaps to win Him over, or perhaps to give face to the Mother of the Ancient Stars. She directly bestowed upon the Ziwei Emperor, the Great Sage of the Northern Yin, and the Emperor of Fengdu the title of Netherworld Ghost God.

All spirits and deities must obey Him.

When Luo Zu separated his incarnation and fell into the Netherworld, Hou Tu Niangniang guided him to the Netherworld Palace.

This palace is the central hub of the Netherworld and Yellow Springs, overseeing all affairs within the entire Netherworld and Yellow Springs region. The Goddess Houtu now resides here.

"This humble one pays respects to the Goddess Houtu." The ghost god that Luo Zu had transformed into was still in human form, and his appearance was exactly the same as his own, but his aura was more sinister, like a deep, dark ravine.

Then, the Earth Goddess, in her ancestral witch form, sat in the Netherworld Palace. She had a human body and a snake tail, seven arms growing from her back, and two hands clasped in front of her chest, each grasping a flying snake. This form was magnificent. When Luo Zu saw it, he felt his mind and spirit tremble, as if he had seen the source of the Dao.

This feeling was quite different from the feeling I had when I met the Dao Ancestor before.

It was somewhat similar to seeing the Three Pure Ones, who had only recently attained enlightenment.

Could it be that Houtu Zuwu was certified as a saint, rather than a quasi-saint?

After all, even sages are said to be at the Hunyuan realm.

The difference between a saint and a quasi-saint is simply the difference of being a saint...

"Lord Luozu, how have you been?" Houtu Niangniang said with deep emotion.

Luo Zu nodded slightly: "Your Majesty's Taoist magic is unparalleled, I admire you greatly."

"I wonder if you would be willing to serve in the Netherworld?" Houtu asked.

This is to repay Luo Zu for his previous assistance.

"I am willing." Luo Zu also wanted to become a ghost or god in this place and get a position, so that in the future, the human race could intervene in the underworld.

Now, in this netherworld, only the souls of the dead are drawn here, then cross the Bridge of Helplessness, drink a bowl of Meng Po soup, thus cleansing their souls, leaving only pure and innocent spirits, before they are cast into the cycle of reincarnation.

This applies to all races. Moreover, the initial operation of the Netherworld to eliminate the deep-seated ailments of the prehistoric world, namely the undead, took a great deal of effort. After all, over countless billions of years, there were far more undead and walking corpses on the earth than the living beings of the prehistoric world.

The Goddess Houtu ultimately gave Luozu a position similar to that of a judge, naming him Lingzai, the meaning of which is naturally revealed in the name.

After obtaining this position, Luo Zu's incarnation also found its place. He was no longer a miscellaneous ghost or god of the underworld, but a ghost or god who had gained the approval of the underworld and could mobilize the power of the underworld.

Houtu Niangniang also knew the reason why Luozu entered her netherworld, so she granted him some authority over ghost and god positions, allowing him to confer and command three hundred ghost and god positions, of course, the positions could not exceed Luozu's Spirit Ruler.

Faced with such benefits, Luo Zu was also particularly surprised; Hou Tu Niangniang was really too generous to him.

But when he felt the vastness of the netherworld, he could only sigh that his perspective was too narrow.

The underworld is too vast; his three hundred positions as ghosts and gods cannot even cause a ripple.
