Primordial Chaos: I, the Four Pure Ones of the Primordial Beginning, beg the Heavenly Dao to step do

Chapter 108 The Underground Passage Restored! Heaven and Earth Restored! Good Deeds Rewarded and Evil Punished! Life Becomes Stable!

The proclamation resounded throughout heaven and earth, and the Taiji diagram, the Chaos Bell, and the Pangu Banner appeared before Houtu.

Using the divine runes of the laws left behind in the beginning as a guide, it instantly reversed and became the axe that opened the heavens!

The moment Houtu gripped the axe handle tightly with both hands, the Way of the Earth and the Law of Reincarnation surged forth from within her body, continuously pouring into the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe.

"With your current cultivation level, you are not yet able to control the divine power of the Heaven-Opening Axe."

"The divine runes of the laws will help you connect with the power of heaven and earth, temporarily amplifying the laws of reincarnation and elevating you to the path of reincarnation."

"Combined with the Earth Path you cultivate, you can probably unleash ten axe blows."

"Remember to make good use of this opportunity to complete the cycle of reincarnation and open up the Nine Netherworlds as much as possible."

Tai Chu looked up at Hou Tu in the sky, who was holding the Heaven-Opening Axe, and immediately gave her some reminders.

"Don't worry, Brother Taichu, I understand."

With a deep voice, Houtu gripped the Heaven-Opening Axe tightly in both hands and came to the sea of ​​blood. She looked around at the vast, boundless sea of ​​blood, which was filled with the stench of the pale red sky and was teeming with wronged souls.

A resolute look suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The Father God entrusted us with the vast universe.

We must never betray the Father's trust.

Where do the dead find no rest, no way to go?

Then I will pave the way for it!

"Father God above! Houtu humbly beseeches you to unleash your divine power."

"Give me a helping hand, so that all living beings may be reborn and the cycle of reincarnation may be broken!"

Houtu murmured a few times in a deep voice towards the Heaven-Opening Axe, then immediately raised it high above her head and swung it down rapidly.

"The Path of Rebirth and Reincarnation, the Path of the Heavenly Gods—Open!"

"The Two Paths of Rebirth and Reincarnation: The Asura Path - Open!"

"The cycle of rebirth through the three realms—the human realm—is now open!"

Three consecutive axe blows, almost in quick succession, struck the Netherworld Blood Sea in an instant!

In an instant, the boundless sea of ​​blood reacted wildly, with three axe marks piercing through heaven and earth and tearing through the void, frantically devouring immeasurable ferocity, the resentment of all spirits, and the desires of all living beings.

After a dozen or so breaths, the three axe marks seemed to have eaten too much, and began to twist, slowly separating from heaven and earth while carrying the boundless sea of ​​blood, and embedding themselves into the endless void.

And at a speed visible to the naked eye, it is absorbing and expanding!

In the shortest time it takes to drink a cup of tea, it has expanded to a radius of hundreds of millions of miles, transforming into a crimson vortex, existing between reality and the void!

"The path of punishing evil and the cycle of reincarnation—the animal realm—is opened!"

"Punish evil and establish the two realms of reincarnation: the realm of hungry ghosts—open!"

"Punish evil and enter the cycle of reincarnation through the three realms—the hell realm—opens!"

Once the three paths of rebirth and reincarnation had taken initial shape, Houtu once again swung her axe three times, striking the Netherworld Blood Sea.

In an instant, the souls within the sea of ​​blood cried out in unison.

It was as if it sensed some terrifying being about to be born and descend into the world.

They all fled towards the edge of the sea of ​​blood!

However, as the axe marks manifested and the sea of ​​blood was frantically devoured, many of the dead souls were imprisoned in place by an invisible pressure before they could escape even a thousand miles away.

All they could do was wait for judgment to come with despair in their eyes!

The three paths of punishment, reincarnation, and retribution were also absorbing the boundless sea of ​​blood as nourishment, twisting into three scarlet vortexes that rapidly expanded to a radius of hundreds of millions of miles before slightly restraining their terrifying power.

This gave many of the dead a chance to catch their breath.

With the emergence of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the primordial world underwent further development, and all souls had the opportunity to be reborn. Heaven and earth also transformed from the innate to the acquired.

From this day forward, the world will almost never give birth to any more innate deities.

The number of living beings in the primordial world will also remain within a certain range.

To ensure that the excessive number of living beings does not lead to the severe depletion of natural resources, causing beings to become insatiable and exploit the already limited spiritual resources by destroying all things.

Where there is life, there is death!

If a living being perishes, there will be reincarnation!

From then on, the cycle of heaven and earth was completed, and the earth's channels gradually revived!

The four seas and eight wastelands trembled, countless stars twinkled, boundless purple energy came from the east, and the golden lotus of Daoist charm appeared in the void.

It seemed as if all living beings also sensed something.

They all turned and paid homage to the boundless sea of ​​blood.

"The ancestral witch Houtu is infinitely compassionate. We kowtow in gratitude for your great grace in shaping reincarnation, mending heaven and earth, so that countless souls may have a place to return to, and all spirits of heaven and earth may find peace!"

In that instant when all beings expressed their gratitude and cried out in unison, their voices resounding throughout heaven and earth.

Boundless merits and virtues descended slowly from the sky.

Boundless virtue and merit rise suddenly from the depths of the earth.

The two merge into one, spreading into an endless ocean of merit, encompassing the six realms of reincarnation and Houtu!

In an instant, the purple aura and golden lotuses of Daoist charm, like swallows returning to their nests, merged into the vast ocean of merit.

Earth Mother Qi, Heavenly Pure Qi.

The Way of the Earth, the Way of Reincarnation.

Universal golden light, divine radiance of creation.

It manifested instantly above the Netherworld Blood Sea!

This caused the countless souls gathered within to be instantly freed from their obsessions, resentment, and unwillingness, and they bowed respectfully to the boundless ocean of merit with peaceful expressions.

They all flew together and merged into the gradually forming Six Paths of Reincarnation.

According to the merits and sins surrounding them, they are successively cast into the six realms of reincarnation!

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Those with the highest merit will enter the path of the gods, where they will receive boundless blessings, with all their wishes fulfilled and everything going smoothly.

Those with lesser merit enter the human realm, where their blessings are rather mediocre, with both good and bad fortune present. They must endure the suffering of birth, old age, sickness, death, separation from loved ones, encountering those they hate, not getting what they want, and the five aggregates of consciousness.

However, there are many opportunities; seizing just one can bring about earth-shattering changes.

Those with the least merit enter the Asura realm, where they receive mixed blessings, with great lifespan and intelligence, but due to their hatred, they are not happy and joyful, and instead suffer immense pain!

Those with the lowest karma are reborn into the animal realm, where they are punished with the suffering of reincarnation. All birds and beasts, whether they fly, swim, or move in the air, from thousands of strange and ferocious monsters to tiny insects and moths, are subject to this realm of reincarnation.

Those who embark on this cycle of reincarnation will find both opportunity and calamity.

If one can seize the opportunity, one can turn one's life around and be reborn in one of the three realms of existence.

However, if one remains confused and ignorant of the proper methods, one will be trapped in endless cycles of rebirth in the animal realm until one accumulates enough merit to be liberated.

Those with moderate karma will enter the realm of hungry ghosts, where they will be punished with the suffering of desires. They will wander the world as souls, and their final attachment will become their primary desire in the next cycle of reincarnation.

For example, there's the hungry ghost, which shares the same name.

Before he died, his obsession was to be full; after he died, his throat was as thin as a needle.

Because they can't eat, they suffer from malnutrition.

This makes the belly look very big, but it is actually empty.

Even if you force yourself to eat it, you'll vomit it up.

Some of the most sinful starving ghosts can even breathe fire.

When it sees food, it only needs to slightly open its mouth to burn the food to ashes.

This is the suffering of hunger, one of the myriad desires and sufferings!

There are two ways to get rid of this problem.

Either find a way to kill yourself!

Either find someone with good deeds to perform a ritual for the deceased!

Otherwise, one will forever suffer the torment of desire.

Those with the heaviest karma enter the hell realm, where they suffer the torment of their souls, which is commonly known as the eighteen levels of hell.

It is divided into four parts: the eight hot hells, the eight cold hells, the near-border hells, and the solitary hells.

Those who embark on this path must endure torment for at least trillions of years before they can possibly leave.

Death is a luxury here.

Collapse, madness, and the desire for death are the main themes here.

However, due to the special nature of the hell realm, the souls that enter this realm will be able to feel and witness the torment they suffer with unparalleled clarity of mind.

Therefore, this is the most painful and desperate place in the six realms of reincarnation!
