The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Strictly speaking, the dragon race is not a water element overlord. They once competed with the phoenix and qilin for supremacy on the earth, and there are also differences in metal, wood, water, fire and earth.

There are even great gods like the Azure Dragon who hold the pillars of the East. They are also of the Great Luo Limitless level, but together with the White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, they hold the four poles and hide in the primordial world. Furthermore, their Daoist methods have influenced the various multiverses that were subsequently opened up. In fact, when other Great Luo Limitless beings opened up multiverses, they would ask them to send down their Daoist avatars to support the multiverses.

Although the Azure Dragon is a dragon god, he usually does not recognize his dragon identity. The Azure Dragon lineage also has its own territory and has never entered the Four Seas Currents with the Four Seas Dragon Clan.

However, after the Four Seas Dragon Clan retreated to the second line of the primordial world, some of them with great supernatural powers deepened the world's beings' understanding of them. They were in charge of the Water Element and held the power of many Water Element Great Daos. Thus, they could either control the rivers and lakes and once again contend for the primordial world, or retreat to guard the Four Seas and not be affected by the struggle for the primordial world.

Unfortunately, the Four Seas Dragon Clan's territory was too vast. Such a large race and such a vast expanse of water in the four seas were coveted by the demon race and the witch race, not to mention other races and forces.

The dragons, however, have never taken sides and have been flirting with other women. Now they've come to this point, which can't be said to be entirely out of helplessness, but it's also a case of reaping what they sowed.

As the saying goes, loyalty that is not absolute is absolutely disloyal. The Wu Clan had had enough of the Dragon Clan's aloofness, and since the Ancestral Witch Gonggong also had needs, they decided to fight first, regardless of the consequences.

However, although the Wu Clan had anticipated that the Dragon Clan's reaction would be very intense, they did not expect that the entire prehistoric world would react so violently.

Helpless, they could only make a decision that went against their ancestors. No, they themselves were immortal and were their ancestors, so the established laws of their ancestors were nothing to fear. They would overturn their own laws.

The Great Purge...

Then the Netherworld and the Underworld would be busy, and Luo Zu cursed the Witch Clan for a long time because of this.

The Netherworld received a large number of the true spirits of the dead. Those who were in a daze were fine, but those who had cultivation and remained conscious after entering the Netherworld, knowing the truth, clamored to return to the earth and demand justice from the Witch Clan.

What they didn't know was that the Netherworld was also run by the Wu clan. Although the Goddess Houtu had great love in her heart, the other Wu clan members who followed her did not have the same benevolence.

Therefore, the methods of punishment are constantly being updated, and even new ones are introduced every three or four years...

Luo Zu was also speechless. Hundreds of millions of dead people were pouring into the area under his jurisdiction, and he didn't have enough manpower at the moment. Helpless, he immediately summoned 36,000 dazed and confused true spirits of the dead, forcibly created new souls for them, enlightened their memories, and instilled many "management manuals" from the underworld, so that they could do the work for him.

Furthermore, since the undead cast into the Netherworld this time included various races, Luo Zu, for convenience, directly established the Black and White Impermanence system, classifying these 36,000 undead into this category. However, these Black and White Impermanence were not "official" and did not belong to the ghost and god sequence of the Netherworld, nor did they have corresponding authority. It was only because Luo Zu did not have enough manpower that he forcibly allocated some of the authority of the Netherworld region under his control, which meant that they were his subordinates.

With Luo Zu's division of labor clearly defined, within ten years, this large number of undead were assigned to different areas. Luo Zu also divided the Netherworld region under his control into different sections to accommodate these undead.

His approach was simple: he directly extracted the past experiences of these undead and divided them into two paths, good and evil, with the good and evil levels further divided into ten.

As a result, the Netherworld region where he was located was also divided into areas, and different levels of good and evil undead were driven into them.

Those who disobey or resist will be severely punished by Tang, the top general under Luo Zu.

"Those who are virtuous will be transferred to the Bridge of Helplessness first, starting with the tenth level of great virtue, and then transferred in order. Those who are wicked must serve their sentences with me until they have completed their sentences and realized their repentance before they can be transferred to the first level of minor virtue area."

Luo Zu's creation of the eighteen levels of hell can be considered a preliminary version, though it wasn't as strict or rigorous, and there weren't as many punishments.

However, the punishments he failed to carry out are now commonplace in the underworld.

Luo Zu stood there, looking around, and saw that all the ghosts and gods who had been assigned to a part of the Netherworld were running rampant. Some ruled the dead with their power, some with their own way, and some with cruel punishments such as burning, drowning, chopping, lightning, freezing, and skinning.

He has everything that the eighteen levels of hell in Earth's legends have, and he also has things that don't exist, which made Luo Zu's scalp tingle.

The witch clan's methods were the most severe, since this group of undead were slaughtered for opposing the entire witch clan on earth, and they continued to oppose and resist in the Netherworld, causing chaos in the Netherworld.

Therefore, the witch spirits don't care whether you are good or evil, they make no distinction and inflict severe punishments on everyone, making sure that they remember this pain in their next life.

If it weren't for the final decree issued by the Goddess Houtu prohibiting such cruel punishments, the entire Netherworld would probably be filled with wails of agony.

In addition, because of the events on Earth, the Goddess Houtu invited all the ghosts and gods of the underworld to a meeting in Houtu's Underworld Palace.

After all, half of the ghosts and gods in the Netherworld are incarnations of powerful beings and great supernatural beings from the primordial era. Now, many of these powerful beings have sided with the Dragon Clan and opposed the Witch Clan, which can be clearly seen in the Netherworld and Yellow Springs.

Luo Zu was naturally invited to attend, and he stood on the side of the Dragon Clan. Everyone disliked the Witch Clan a lot. If it weren't for the fact that Lady Houtu was usually kind and had a good reputation, they would never have come to this Netherworld Palace to attend the meeting.

Luo Zu and several familiar fellow practitioners lined up and communicated through divine thoughts. They sternly reprimanded the Wu tribe for their unwitchcraft behavior and said that when they met with Houtu Niangniang later, they should criticize the Wu tribe's behavior even more severely, and ask her to tell the ancestral witches not to go against the righteous path of the primordial world. If they wanted to compete for the path, they should not harm the innocent.

As the dragon clans of the four seas sounded the war horn once again on the land, and a large number of dragons led their sea clan subordinates to form layers of attack formations to attack the army of the witch clan led by the ancestral witch Gonggong, a war of words also broke out in the Netherworld Palace.

Houtu Niangniang, accompanied by a group of witch clan ghosts and gods, descended upon the Netherworld Palace. After Houtu Niangniang took her seat at the head of the table, she surveyed the ghosts and gods, and only after confirming that all of them had arrived (except for the dragon clan ghosts and gods) did she slowly open her golden mouth.

"As you all know, the reason I invited you all here is firstly due to the recent surge in the true spirits of the dead in the Netherworld, secondly due to the obstruction of the cycle of reincarnation in the primordial world, and thirdly due to the war between the Dragon Clan and the Witch Clan."

"Because there are many controversies surrounding this matter, I have invited everyone to discuss it." (End of Chapter)
