The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Although Houtu Niangniang had the great merit of opening up the Netherworld and Yellow Springs, she insisted on upholding the interests of the Wu tribe and did not take the reincarnation of all living beings as her responsibility. Therefore, led by the Daoist Master Da Luo Duo Bao of the Jie Sect, a group of Daoist Masters and Daoist Lords who had once separated their incarnations in the Netherworld and Yellow Springs gathered in a vast universe that was about to be destroyed because of the Wu tribe.

Although this vast universe is nameless and devoid of life, a place of utter desolation, it is precisely the perfect place to revisit the Netherworld.

Duobao arrived first, so He first opened up a realm of reincarnation in this place, so that all the former ghosts and gods of the underworld could gather.

When Luo Zu arrived, three thousand Taiyi Daojun and eighty-one Da Luo Daozun had already gathered there.

Because of his special status, when the Dao Lords and Dao Venerables were deducing reincarnation, they discovered that he was the first being to open up reincarnation in the primordial world. Therefore, as soon as he arrived, he was welcomed by the Dao Lords and Dao Venerables.

Luo Zu was well aware of their plans; they simply wanted to give Duobao Daozun some face.

However, being trusted so much by so many Dao Lords and Dao Venerables, Luo Zu felt quite happy. After all, the attention of Dao Venerables and Dao Lords was also a kind of power. Although this power was small to him now, there were three thousand Dao Lords and eighty-one Dao Venerables among them. With their increased attention, how could this power be weak?

Everyone knows this, but often one person's momentum cannot be suppressed, so the trend will only snowball until it suddenly collapses or gradually subsides.

This time, the gathering of ghosts and spirits of the underworld also invited the dragon clan ghosts and spirits, instead of the gathering in the Underworld Palace, where the dragon clan ghosts and spirits were kept out and not allowed to participate.

The existence of the Dao Venerables and Dao Lords now influences this great universe that was on the verge of collapse, allowing it to continue to exist, and there is even a possibility that old trees will sprout new buds and regain their vitality.

But no one paid attention to these things, since any one of them could create another great universe in the void space of the primordial multiverse.

When Duobao Daozun, the organizer of the gathering, saw that the ghosts and gods had almost all arrived, he spoke first: "The Wu tribe is immoral and Houtu is lacking in virtue. We should seize their positions and scatter their fruits to establish the righteous path of the primordial world, so that all living beings can live in peace and no longer wail and cry in the underworld. Therefore, I propose that we establish a new cycle of reincarnation and strip Houtu of her authority over the underworld."

Upon hearing this, all the Daoist masters echoed in agreement.

Some were on the side of the Jie Sect, so they supported Duobao; some wanted to befriend the Jie Sect, so they supported Duobao; some were simply annoyed by the arrogance and domineering nature of the Wu Clan, so they supported Duobao to disgust the Wu Clan; and some simply went with the flow, only wanting to stand on the side of the victor.

Although the Taiyi disciples all expressed their support, it cannot be assumed that they would stand up for Duobao Daozun and fight against the Wu Clan.

The reason for following up with the introduction of the Netherworld is twofold: firstly, the power within the Netherworld is not significant, and they have never cared about it, since they can still interfere with life and death even without the Netherworld.

Secondly, the Dragon Clan gave far too much, while the Witch Clan gave nothing and even destroyed many of their ancient industries during this operation. Naturally, they chose to side with the Dragon Clan.

Many Taiyi beings have even descended to the material plane of the primordial world, distorting and altering the great principles of the primordial land in order to fight against the Wu tribe.

Although the Dao Lords expressed their opinions, the Dao Venerables all kept their own thoughts to themselves, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

The Great Luo Dao Venerables are outside the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements. If they do not deliberately participate, the great forces of the primordial world will not entangle them. They are independent of the long river of time, so their businesses in the primordial world did not suffer heavy losses like those of the Taiyi. They can completely watch the fire from the sidelines during this calamity.

However, the Great Luos have a broader perspective, and what they see and hear is incomparable to that of ordinary Taiyi.

They didn't care how the Witch Clan and the Dragon Clan waged war, or how great the calamity they could unleash; it was nothing more than the reshaping of the primordial world.

They actually value the underworld more.

Although they are detached from worldly affairs and transcend time and space, they are still trapped in the sea of ​​suffering.

This is also Houtu's fault. When she opened up the sea of ​​suffering, she included all the Great Luo in her schemes, forcing them to attain the Great Luo Limitless in order to reach the other shore and transcend the sea of ​​suffering.

Then Houtu came up with another "version update", making Youming fight against the sea of ​​suffering. It showed them the possibility that they could transcend the sea of ​​suffering without having to painstakingly prove the Great Luo Limitless. But now Houtu is doing this again, making it hard for the Great Luo Dao Venerable to believe that He will not repeatedly torment them, the Great Luo, in the future.

Only then did they follow Duobao and the Dragon Clan to escape the Netherworld.

In short, everyone was forced by circumstances to form a loose alliance by abandoning "witchcraft" practices.

However, everyone is not stupid and has wisdom. People like Luo Zu can see all of the above, but they are forced by the situation and are caught up in the situation, so they have no choice but to react in this way and be used by others.

Looking again at the vehemently worded Daoist Duobao, Luo Zu felt that his old friend had become much more radical. He had only recently attained the Great Luo realm, yet he was already so eager to devise the method of the Limitless Realm. It seemed a bit too hasty.

For this matter, he specifically consulted the Taoist Xuandu, who was refining elixirs in Shouyang Mountain.

Xuan Du Dao Ren had not participated in this grand gathering of ghosts and gods, nor had he been invited to join the Netherworld. Therefore, he remained an outsider and might have a clearer understanding of the situation.

"You mean Junior Brother Duobao? There's nothing unusual about him lately. Perhaps he's unhappy with the domineering nature of the Witch Clan. After all, the Witch Clan has acted recklessly in the prehistoric world in recent years, even more so than before, and even more arrogant than the Demon Clan back then. So Junior Brother Duobao might just be unable to stand the Witch Clan." Xuandu Daoist offered an explanation for Duobao's eagerness for quick success.

"Do you think that Daoist Duobao's behavior is an attempt to vent his dissatisfaction with the Wu Clan?" Luo Zu stated definitively.

Taoist Xuandu replied, "I cannot make a judgment on this matter; it is all based on guesswork."

At this time, several Grand Luo Dao Venerables, urged by Duobao Daoren, declared that the Wu Clan was domineering and that they wanted to sever ties with the Wu Clan. However, whether they would truly sever their ties with the Wu Clan was unknown.

In short, no matter how much you guess or I speculate, this gathering of ghosts and gods will ultimately come to nothing.

However, Daoist Duobao had obviously guessed this outcome, so he gave his plan first.

It was not a matter of seizing power in the underworld overnight, but rather a gradual process.

To open up smaller cycles of reincarnation in the various great universes of the primordial world, or to rectify the original cycle of reincarnation in the great universes, thereby gradually weakening the reincarnation authority of the Netherworld and the Yellow Springs in the primordial world.

This is actually a reverse plan based on the ancient legend of Houtu Niangniang borrowing the methods of reincarnation from various families, integrating them to open up the Netherworld and Yellow Springs, and turning them into a law that can connect and integrate the Great Dao throughout the primordial world and even spread to many primordial universes.

However, this method is truly digging into the root. If it succeeds, the Netherworld and Yellow Springs will not be completely restored, and their reincarnation authority will be diluted, which will trigger a series of problems. In the end, although it will not cause Houtu Niangniang to fall into the Hunyuan realm, it will weaken her special existence in the Hunyuan realm.

It can only be said that the wisdom of the great beings of the primordial era is truly not to be underestimated; even a Quasi-Saint of the Primordial Realm would find it difficult to counter such a grand and open scheme. (End of Chapter)
