Primordial Era: The Great Emperor Ziwei! Lord of the Celestial Stars!

Chapter 152 The Netherworld Emerges! The Nine Netherworlds Are Established! The River Styx Unleashes!

With the last departed soul, it drifted aimlessly into the cycle of reincarnation.

Boundless merit descends from the heavens!

Endless golden lotuses, immeasurable in their virtue, surged forth from the earth and flew about!

The rising sun cast a purple glow that obscured the sky!

May the profound and wondrous Dharma sound bring blessings to all living beings!

With the infusion of numerous merits from heaven and earth, and the yin virtues of the earth, Houtu instantly broke through the threshold between the Hunyuan Golden Immortal and the Hunyuan Daluo.

And it soared all the way to the early stage of Hunyuan Daluo!

His aura gradually calmed down.

In fact, based on the merits of heaven and earth and the yin virtues of the earth bestowed upon Houtu by opening the cycle of reincarnation, her current cultivation level is...

They should at least be able to reach the mid-stage of the Hunyuan Daluo realm!

However, due to his choice to cultivate both body and magic, he simultaneously ascended to the Hunyuan Daluo realm.

Furthermore, the supreme treasure used to open the six paths of reincarnation, the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, was formed by the fusion of the magic weapons of Emperor Tian and Zhen Yuanzi.

The moment when the merits of Heaven and Earth and the yin virtues of Earth merge and descend.

It split into roughly forty parts, which then fell directly in two to Di Tian and Zhen Yuanzi.

Therefore, her cultivation level was only at the early stage of Hunyuan Daluo.

However, Houtu didn't care at all about improving her cultivation level or distributing the merits of heaven and earth and the yin virtues of the earth.

She now only wants to fulfill the Father's commission.

"The cycle of reincarnation has been completed, though the souls of the dead in heaven and earth are now purified."

"But it cannot be left unattended and without rules to govern it!"

"Today, in the name of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, I dedicate this place to the souls born thereafter, a place to live, named: the Netherworld of Ghosts!"

The loud announcement ended, and a response resounded from the depths of the soul.

The boundless ocean of merit and the golden lotus of hidden virtue once again emerged from the void and the earth!

He once again raised the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe (incomplete) and fiercely cleaved it into the boundless sea of ​​blood.

Three more axe blows fell in succession, and two-thirds of the sea of ​​blood was stripped from the primordial world and thrown into the endless void!

Nourished by the merits of Heaven and Earth and the yin virtues of the Earth.

It gradually transformed into a realm suitable for the dead to live in, where living beings are forbidden to enter, where ghostly energy stretches across time and space, the underworld is boundless, and the Yellow Springs meander through the netherworld!

"Father God above! The Great Way bears witness!"

"I am Houtu, the ruler of the Six Paths of Reincarnation!"

"May countless souls find their final resting place, may good and evil ultimately be rewarded, and may the cycle of reincarnation be judged without error!"

"Punish and arrest the sinful demons who defy the cycle of heaven and earth!"

"To redress the grievances of those who died unjustly!"

"Based on the Netherworld, with the Six Paths of Reincarnation suppressing destiny, I have established the Nine Netherworld!"

"May the good and evil deeds of millions of departed souls be rewarded, and may all resentment be eradicated!"

"To expose all sins and eliminate all evil!"

As the loud announcement fell, the remaining merits of heaven and earth, and the yin virtues of the underworld, from the opening of the netherworld, all surged into it!

The Gates of Hell, the Road to the Underworld, the Terrace of Longing for Home, the Ridge of the Evil Dog, the Golden Rooster Mountain, the Village of Wild Ghosts, the Hall of Bewitching Souls, Fengdu City, the Pavilion of Offerings, the Ghost Realm Fortress, the Lotus Platform, the Cliff of Resurrection, the Bridge of Helplessness...

All descriptions of the underworld mentioned in later generations have manifested themselves in the netherworld!

These buildings are formed by the condensation of the merits of heaven and earth, the yin virtues of the earth, and the laws of the underworld.

Most of them possess a hardness comparable to that of innate spiritual treasures!

The Gates of Hell, the Terrace of Longing for Home, the Bridge of Helplessness, and Fengdu City—these crucial underworld structures possess a basic strength comparable to top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

And this is not their end.

As innocent souls are continuously helped to enter the cycle of reincarnation, wicked spirits are punished and made to pay the price they deserve!

The structural integrity and power of these buildings will continue to improve!

Until it is elevated to a level comparable to the highest-grade innate spiritual treasure!

As for why it's impossible to break through to the Innate Supreme Treasure level?

This is no longer a problem that time can solve.

It is estimated that this will continue until the time of Journey to the West.

Within the Nine Netherworld, the merit gained from saving the dead and punishing evil spirits is all poured into a single building.

Only then can it undergo a fundamental transformation.

Reaching a level and divine power comparable to a supreme innate treasure!

"It truly deserves to be called one of the most important projects."

"Given the current power of Tu, it is likely that the Supreme Beings and others will attain sainthood and come to cause trouble in the Nine Netherworld."

"They'll only have to slink away, or worse, end up with a terrible mess to clean up!"

Gazing at the gradually perfecting Netherworld and the Nine Netherworld Palace, which relied on the endless void, a hint of satisfaction and excitement flashed in Di Tian's eyes.

The establishment of the Nine Netherworld meant that many of his plans could officially begin.

His subordinates no longer had the concept of death.

As long as one divides one's true spirit into a single strand and entrusts it to the six realms of reincarnation.

Even the physical body, the soul, and even the true spirit are completely erased.

They can also be reborn from the cycle of reincarnation through the remnants of their true spirit!

This method of rebirth is far more suitable for ordinary beings in the primordial world than joining the extraterrestrial demon race!

After all, the merits and karma borne by ordinary beings are generally not extremes of great good or great evil.

After being reincarnated in the six realms of reincarnation, most will be reborn into the Asura realm or the animal realm.

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

The human realm and the hungry ghost realm are extremely rare.

There are only the Path of the Gods and the Path of Hell.

How could someone qualified to participate in these two types of reincarnation be a simple person?

If the person is a subordinate of Emperor Tian, ​​then naturally they will be given a special favor, so that the person can be reborn into a better family and serve the Star Court again.

If it were an enemy's colleague, he wouldn't kick them in the back.

May those who have devoted themselves to the path of the gods return to the underworld as soon as possible.

Those who are cast into the hell realm will never be able to escape.

That already shows how tolerant, generous, and kind-hearted he is!

Just as Di Tian was pondering his next move...

The Styx River finally broke free from the shackles of heaven and earth, unleashing the oppressive might of Pangu.

They burst out of the cave!

Looking at the Netherworld Blood Sea that he had painstakingly cultivated for millions of years.

Now only one-third remains!

Its color instantly turned red, and Yuan Tu and Abi appeared in an instant, with the Six Soul Banner hanging behind them. They started cursing angrily.

"Outrageous! I am the Lord of the Boundless Sea of ​​Blood!"

"Without my permission, they did it on my turf..."

However, just as he was angrily cursing and swearing, his face full of resentment...

He saw Di Tianzheng standing in the void with indifferent eyes, staring straight at him without saying a word.

This discovery left him stunned on the spot.

Even the anger that had just risen subsided in an instant.

"Um, I was a little confused from sleep."

"The Netherworld Blood Sea was transformed from the Great God Pangu, and everything within it should belong to the Emperor."

"Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, is the Emperor's younger sister."

"We are naturally entitled to use all the resources here."

Seeing that Di Tian remained silent and expressionless, Styx's fear grew even stronger.

"I have some urgent matters to attend to in my cave."

"I won't disturb Your Majesty's enjoyment."

"If the Ancestral Witch Houtu feels that the resources are insufficient, you may use the remaining resources of the Netherworld Blood Sea at will. Do not be polite with me."

After saying this, Styx respectfully bowed to Emperor Tian and took his leave.

He immediately turned around and fled back into his cave.

He activated all defensive formations, went into seclusion to cultivate, and dared not pay any attention to the outside world!
