While the outside world was in turmoil, Dongwanggong and Houtu spent a very unforgettable time in the underworld.
As a Taoist who has been practicing Taoism for two lifetimes, his mind has always been free and easy, and he is content with what he has come to. Besides, he quite appreciates Hou Tu. If a beautiful woman throws himself into his arms, there is no reason to push him away.
Perhaps because he feels that there is not much left in his life, he is extremely cheerful during this period. He has a straightforward character. Once he opens his heart, he is very charming.
Because the Wu tribe does not cultivate the way of the soul, they do not need to keep themselves pure and keep away from the world of mortals. They are the most humane tribe among the creatures in the ancient world, and are very rich in emotions.
This point is very touching to Prince Dong. Among the goddesses he has come into contact with, Houtu is indeed the most individual and has the most true temperament. In future generations, she is a heroine who dares to love and hate. Prince Dong still likes her very much.
of this kind of character.
One thousand years sounds like a long time, but to those who practice Taoism, it is actually just a snap of the fingers.
Although she was reluctant to leave, Hou Tu was finally going to start another reincarnation. She glanced at Dong Wangong with nostalgia and said, "I'm going to start."
Prince Dong said, "Well, you can start."
Hou Tu said, "After reincarnation is established, I will leave this world forever."
Duke Dong said, "Well, you have already said it."
Hou Tu gritted his teeth, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Dongwang said, "Not yet."
Hou Tubo said angrily, "You don't seem to be sad at all?"
Prince Dong said, "Why should you be sad?"
Hou Tu said coldly, "I'm going to die."
Prince Dong said, "You won't die, believe me."
Hou Tu said suspiciously, "Really? But I don't have a soul. If there is no longer the true body of the ancestral witch, no blood essence, and only the true spirit is left, then he will naturally die."
Prince Dong said, "I have thought about it carefully. You have created reincarnation and made great contributions to heaven and earth and to all living beings. It is an act of immeasurable merit. Heaven and earth will not reward you in time, so how can you die?"
Hou Tu said, "But I feel like I'm going to die!"
Prince Dong smiled and said, "I used the divine prophecy to deduce it for you. It's a situation where you risk your life and survive. Believe me, you won't be wrong."
"All right!"
Although I don’t know when Dongwanggong performed the deduction, Houtu has great confidence in him and feels much more stable.
Walking to the depths of the underworld, where the forbidden law originated, she closed her eyes slightly, comprehending the mysterious power that had blessed her body that day, and then began to use the method she understood to induce it.
After a while, a mysterious powerful force came and was projected on Hou Tu's body. She saw that her body was emitting thousands of golden lights. The power of the law of earth continued to overflow from her body, and three drops of ancestral witch essence and blood began to flow from her heart.
It comes out and stirs up the turbid air of the earth that has settled in the underworld.
"boom!"
As the roaring sound became louder and louder, many changes began to occur in the underworld. The realm began to fall continuously. Countless sources of turbid air from the earth rushed towards the back soil, combined with the essence, blood and the power of the law, and gradually evolved.
It becomes a huge roulette wheel that stretches across the infinite.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a loud noise, and the entire underworld shook suddenly and stopped falling. Then a strong smell of blood and filth came from one side.
Dong Wangong glanced at it and found that it was not just the underworld, but all the dark forces underground seemed to be drawn and concentrated in one place, even the sea of blood was no exception.
Now the underworld is actually connected to the blood sea, and a large piece of it falls directly into the blood sea, squeezing the sea water up.
"What's going on?" The ancestor of Styx came out without knowing why. When he saw this scene, his expression suddenly became a little unkind.
But when he saw Dong Wanggong, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Fellow Dong Wanggong, what are you doing?"
The King of the East said, "The ancestral witch Hou Tu felt that the souls of the prehistoric beings were lonely and helpless after death, and were infected by Yang Qi and destroyed. With pity in his heart, he made a great wish to incarnate in reincarnation and open up a refuge for the souls in order to seek success.
A chance to live again.”
"Reincarnation?" Ancestor Styx heard this term for the first time and was a little confused.
Prince Dong explained to him the underworld and reincarnation. Ancestor Minghe's eyes lit up. He felt that this was a major event that sorted out the cause and effect of the three realms and contributed to heaven and earth. He was immediately moved and said, "Fellow Taoist Hou Tu transforms into reincarnation."
It was originally a good thing, but my Blood Sea suffered a disaster because of this, and its area was directly reduced by one-third, but what should I do?"
Dong Wanggong said, "It all depends on what Taoist fellow Hou Tu does. I can't make the decision."
As he spoke, the wheel gradually became solid, and six dark tunnel entrances evolved inside, which were extremely deep and breathtaking.
Hou Tu's body also continued to become illusory and transparent during the process of the roulette solidifying. Another thousand years passed, and after the roulette was completely solidified and the six entrances were fully formed, Hou Tu's body finally dissipated, leaving only
There is a remaining true spirit floating in place.
But at this time, the underworld was completely integrated with the heaven and the ancient earth, and it was truly born.
Immediately, immeasurable merits descended, wrapping the true spirit of Houtu within it. After a while, a soul was born, and then it began to condense into a body with the origin of the underworld, from transparent to solid, and finally completely transformed into a real body.
A body of flesh and blood, exuding the aura of the sub-sage.
What Dong Wangong thought was that the laws of earth and the essence and blood in Hou Tu's body should be a guide to gather the scattered sources of the underworld, and then under her will, connect the heaven and the ancient earth, and turn them into six paths of reincarnation.
Since the way of heaven is a collection of world rules, it only has instincts and no intelligent thinking. It is also affected by the will of all things in the world and cannot interfere with the operation of the rules at will.
No matter what kind of changes occur, it is necessary to take advantage of some opportunities, so Hongjun is needed to preach, Emperor of Heaven is needed to rule the world, and now Houtu is needed to reincarnate.
This time Hou Tu gained so many merits, much more than the merits of Nuwa when she created a human being and became a saint. It fell into the depths of her soul and protected her soul, allowing her to absorb the turbidity of the earth.
Qi will not destroy the soul.
Of course, Prince Dong also got a little bit, but not much. After all, he didn't contribute much. It is difficult for ordinary people to get merit for this kind of thing. After all, there is no room for intervention like creating a human being.
Hou Tu opened his eyes and saw that he was indeed not dead. He looked at the huge roulette wheel again, feeling the mysterious power blessing him, and said, "Today Hou Tu uses himself to evolve reincarnation in the underworld to create reincarnations for the souls of prehistoric creatures."
The opportunity comes. Now we have established the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the upper three paths of heaven, humanity, asura, and the lower three hells, evil ghosts, and animals. Those who have done good deeds and accumulated virtue will be reincarnated in the upper three realms, and those who have done evil and do not change will enter the lower three realms.
"
As soon as her words came out, they spread throughout the ancient world, and all living creatures felt it, as if they had roots in the ancient world and could exist forever. They no longer lived in the previous life and then passed away with the wind.
"Empress Houtu is merciful." Countless creatures, especially souls, all fell to the ground and knelt down.
Hou Tu also said, "After that, the Yin world was renamed the Nether World, and Mount Tai was the entrance to the Yin and Yang worlds. Souls could enter the Netherworld from Mount Tai. In addition, Hou Tu had already transformed into reincarnation, and from now on there would only be Queen Pingxin. If she does not leave reincarnation, she will no longer be Hou Tu."
"
"Mother Pingxin is merciful." The creatures bowed again. Only the nine ancestral witches of the Wu clan were sad and happy. The sad thing was the death of their brothers, but the happy thing was that the underworld was finally born, and the Wu clan seemed to have a turn for the better.
As Hou Tu's voice fell, the Six Paths of Reincarnation began to shrink, and a palace stretching for countless miles rose from the ground. The three characters "Reincarnation Palace" appeared, including the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Hou Tu fell to the ground, his expression inexplicable, but he was still very happy to be able to live again. He said happily, "You are right, I am not dead!"
Prince Dong said, "Congratulations on being reborn."
Empress Houtu said worriedly, "Although she has been reborn, she seems to be restricted and cannot leave the underworld."
Duke Dong said, "Don't be anxious. You have made great contributions to heaven and earth. You have gained so much merit and you will be able to leave soon."
Ancestor Minghe stepped forward and said, "Fellow Taoist Pingxin, you are polite."
Hou Tu said, "Fellow Taoist, how about I take over the land of your blood sea and repay it with Shura Dao?"
Ancestor Minghe said, "It's very good. I don't have any objections."
This Shura clan did not exist in the ancient world. The ancestor of Minghe saw that Nuwa created people to become saints, and thought that he might as well create a clan. Even if he could not become a saint, there should be some benefits.
So he created the Asura clan out of the lost souls in the sea of blood. Since he had made up for the shortcomings of reincarnation to a certain extent, he was actually recognized by heaven. Although he failed to become a saint, he also gained a lot of merit.
After Ancestor Minghe left, Empress Houtu said, "Although reincarnation has opened up, there is something missing in the Netherworld!"
Dongwang Gongdao "With the core six paths of reincarnation, other things can be built later. There is no rush at this time."
What he wanted to do was to go out and end the catastrophe, and then after he became the Emperor of Heaven, he would make Jin Chan the Great Emperor of Fengdu and build the underworld. For example, the Wangchuan River, Huangquan, Naihe Bridge, Yama Hall, Hell, etc. would all be built to form an underworld.
The whole system.
This is also the reason why he promotes the great catastrophe intentionally or unintentionally, and wants to stop the situation before the saint is born.
Without the constraints of the saint, many things would be much easier to handle. Otherwise, if the saint sees that he is powerful and wants to hold him back, he will definitely be in trouble.
Not to mention anything else, if after Yuanshi Tianzun became a saint, he insisted on sending a disciple to heaven to serve as the Great Emperor of Dongji Miaoyan Qinghua, and then created Taiyi to save Ku Tianzun, wouldn't the powers of the underworld be divided by him for nothing?
To be a powerful Heavenly Emperor, you must first control the world of heaven and earth. When Jin Chan becomes the Great Emperor of Fengdu, with him and Hou Tu sitting in charge, you can rest easy in the future.
These two people are both their own people, and they are born with powerful powers. As long as they don't fight with each other, no one can take away the power of the underworld from them.
