In Houtu Emperor’s Di Hall, you can tell which one of them was worshipping by just listening to the name.

Emperor Tianhoutu is the two existences that humans must worship after forming the concept of a country and country. Emperor Tian refers to the Emperor who controls the heavens. The destiny it represents is the law system and the majesty and authority of a country. The Houtu refers to the existence worshipped in this hall. The land it symbolizes and all things growing on the land are definitely the foundation for survival for the ancient ancestors who exist with the country as a collective.

The ancient human emperor followed the rules of covering Houtu and wearing the emperor's heaven since King Yu. Since Emperor Shihuang conquered the heaven, the significance of Houtu to the world must be above the emperor's heaven in some cases.

If such an idea is placed in the present Heavenly Court, then the power represented by Houtu is definitely a hot spot. It is a position that is more respectful than the Emperor of Heaven and will definitely make those later immortals compete for. However, this position is not qualified to grab if you want. Even in the ancient Heavenly Court and the Eight Lords of Heaven and Earth are still there, Houtu is not something that ordinary people can take up.

For example, the landlords in the Eight Lords actually overlap in some aspects of the mountains, rivers, land and the priesthood of Houtu. However, even the landlords are not qualified to take up the position of Houtu. Because the position of Houtu is very special, it represents not only the earth, but the mountains, rivers, land is only part of this position, and more of it is the power of the country to grow, all things to nurture and even the samsara of reincarnation. Moreover, this position is very deeply involved with humanity, so deep that only very special people can take up such a position.

If you want to become the Lord of Houtu, the first requirement is that you must have the necessary causal relationship between the Human Emperor. The most basic thing is that you need the bloodline of the Human Emperor, and if you don’t even have this relationship, you are not qualified to become Houtu.

Secondly, because Houtu has the power to nurture all things, Houtu can only be a woman. At the same time, as a woman, you must also meet the ability of Houtu to control the mountains, rivers and earth. After all, such requirements are calculated, few people have the qualifications. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, Houtu has only been replaced for two generations.

The first generation of Houtu was Nuwa. As the sister of the Human Emperor Fuxi, she was called the ancient goddess of Emperor Wa, and she was undoubtedly the most qualified Houtu Emperor. However, because the times were too long and the human world could not prosper. Her Houtu mind can only be said to be in name but not real, and it is not as respected as the landlords among the Eight Lords of Heaven and Earth.

Until the human world flourished, the Human Emperor began to regard himself as the emperor. Nuwa, who was once one of the Human Emperors, could not continue to occupy the position of Houtu.

Because she wanted to continue to occupy this position, it was equivalent to her recognizing the identity of the emperor. After all, she was a goddess in the ancient times. She asked herself that she could not do this in this way. So if she simply gave this position to the later generations, and this later generation was Houtu.

"Zuo Zhuan. The 29th Year of Zhaogong": "Therefore, there are officials of the five elements, which are called five elements. Wood is called Jumang, Fire is called Zhurong, Jin is called Rushou, Water is called Xuanming, Tuzheng is called Houtu. Zhuanxu's son has a son called Li, which is Zhurong. Gonggong's son has a son called Julong, which is Houtu. Houtu is a society."

"Book of Rites. Sacrifice Law": "The Gonggong family was dominating the Jiuzhou. His son said to be Houtu, and he could pacify the Jiuzhou, so he worshiped him as a society."

Houtu is the son of Gonggong, and Gonggong is a descendant of Shennong. Therefore, in terms of qualifications, Houtu meets the basic requirements of Houtu God. She is a woman and a descendant of Yan Emperor. The most important thing is that she has the ability to pacify Jiuzhou. Therefore, from the perspective of Nuwa, Houtu is her best successor.

This point was also recognized by Huangdi. "Book of Rites. Monthly Orders" says, "The Central Earth, the Emperor Huangdi, and the God Houtu." This shows that at the time of Huangdi, Houtu's qualification for the god position had been determined. It was a matter of time before she took office, and only Nuwa nodded. When it was during the reign of King Yu, Nuwa nodded, Houtu naturally inherited her god position naturally, and even her name changed from Julong to Houtu.

At the beginning, Houtu's situation was the same as Nuwa. Because of the suppression of the landlord, she could not control too much power. However, as the Eight Lords were sealed, the Heavenly Court began to be controlled by immortals, and Houtu's power naturally increased without any criticism.

The so-called gods themselves mean the gods of heaven and earth. In today's heavenly court, the gods refer to the gods who control the stars of the heavens, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and these are still under the management of the Emperor of Heaven. However, the gods of earth are all included as the gods of land, country, mountains, rivers and seas, the five worship gods, and even the gods of all things and the gods of the underworld, and they are all led by Houtu.

As the saying goes, the highest lord of the Underworld is this Empress Houtu. It is precisely because of the ruler of this Empress Houtu that the Underworld can be comparable to the Heavenly Court. It can be said that if this Empress Houtu had the will, she could completely abandon the Heavenly Court and separate the Underworld from the current heaven. Unfortunately, she did not have such thoughts. Even because of her nature's indifference to power, she did not even care about the operation of the Underworld itself while retaining her own power.

This is why land gods like Wang Ergou were enthroned by the Heavenly Court. It was not because he changed jobs, but because his boss handed over the authority to the Heavenly Court, so this happened.

However, although Wang Ergou was enthroned by the Heavenly Court, it does not mean that he is a member of the Heavenly Court. As a land god, he knew very well who his immediate superior was, and he knew exactly where he should stand in his own position. Therefore, he firmly implemented the principle of only one underworld. In addition, after seeing a person like Zhou Yi with the majesty of ancient gods, he did not reveal the news casually, but came here as soon as possible.

As a small land god, he controls only a hundred miles of land. Wang Ergou is not qualified to enter this hall directly. However, he is land after all, and when he holds the jade tablet of the land, he still has a little power. So when he bows respectfully to the hall, the female fairy wearing Lang Huan immediately walked out with a treasure lamp in her hand and asked directly to him.

"Where are you here to disturb the matter? Don't you know that the Empress is practicing? "

"The little god from the Wang family in Donghai has something to report to the empress, and I hope the fairy will be very kind."

Wang Ergou bowed to the end and showed a very low posture. Seeing Wang Ergou, who looked like an old man, performing this posture, the young and beautiful female fairy also showed a look of disgrace on her face.

She is just an immortal who practices with Empress Houtu, and her status is not higher than that of Wang Ergou who has a priesthood. If it is an ordinary situation, she can still rely on her identity and the rebirth of such a small land god. But if there is any big deal, she will only be seeking death if she does this.

Not many people who can practice to become immortals are fools, so she said to Wang Ergou very smartly.

"It's not that I don't understand human nature, but that I really can't disturb you casually. The old man from the land, if you really have something to do, can you reveal it to me first. In this way, I can make up my mind to see if I can give you some comfort."

This statement is reasonable, and Wang Ergou can't say anything. So he hesitated for a moment and said carefully to the female fairy.

"The little god came this time to report a big event to the Empress, which is related to the last great disaster in heaven and earth."

As soon as he finished speaking, the wind suddenly started. Wang Ergou felt the sky was spinning in front of him, and then in a daze, he had already arrived in an unknown realm.

Deep and quiet, ignorant. Although there is no light, it does not give people a sense of terror. Instead, it will make people feel a sense of peace and tranquility of returning to their origins and living in the mother's body. Wang Ergou almost fell asleep in this atmosphere, but he still remembered his mission after all, so when he saw the existence in front of him, he immediately knelt down and said respectfully.

"I have met the Queen of Houtu in the East China Land, and Queen of Houtu has a blessing of Jin'an!"

Houtu is the existence in front of Wang Ergou. Ten thousand years of time have not brought much change to this natural goddess. She looks as youthful and beautiful as an ordinary girl. However, because of the indescribable majesty revealed in her behavior, ordinary people can only see her lofty, but they can't tell what she looks like. Especially when she is wearing a Xuanhei Palace outfit and sitting high on the throne in the middle of the hall, no one will regard her as an ordinary woman. Everyone will only think that she is the empire of the Tuhuang Dijie, the Queen Houtu who ruled the underworld.

She sat high on the throne like this, staring down at Wang Ergou, who was kneeling respectfully, and then raised her hand and said.

"Get up, you don't need to give these mortal rituals to me. I don't like these. In addition, you said you have important things to report to me, and it is related to the great disaster of heaven and earth? What exactly is it?"

"Report to the Empress. To be honest, I met an ancient god today. He asked the little old man about where the court is today."

Wang Ergou told the truth, and this immediately made the Queen Houtu, who looked calm, frown.

"Ancient God, are you reading it wrong?"
