The Netherworld Is Established
When Houtu uttered the words "The Six Paths of Reincarnation, manifest," Fuxi's eyes turned solemn!
As the place that bears the cycle of birth and death of all living things in this Primordial World, the establishment of this cycle of Reincarnation is by no means easy!
The establishment of Reincarnation provides a good destination for those innocent wandering souls.
However, it wasn't so good for the vengeful spirits in this Blood Sea!
The Netherworld Blood Sea, a gathering place for the most filthy things in the world, is inherently teeming with Baleful Qi energy and vengeful spirits!
This filthy place is their playground.
If this Reincarnation is established, it will surely eradicate the vengeful spirits and Baleful Qi within this Blood Sea.
When Houtu appeared above the Blood Sea, the Blood Sea began to churn with surging waves.
Countless vengeful spirits appeared and reached out their hands towards Houtu.
They murmured mournfully.
Why did you only arrive now?
Why did you do this to hurt us?
"Come on, wouldn't it be better to come and have fun with us?"
Those vengeful spirits, without any instruction, conjured up all sorts of bewitching and seductive images.
All sorts of things were presented before Houtu!
However, Houtu's eyes remained clear, and her expression remained unchanged.
With a casual flick of her finger, the churning waves were shattered by that immense power.
Deep within that Blood Sea, it seemed as if raging flames were constantly burning, boiling the Blood Sea.
Ripples spread outwards in layers.
One after another, bubbles of all sizes surged up.
Houtu remained calm, devoting herself entirely to establishing the Six Paths of Reincarnation!
"Damn it..."
Amidst the Blood Sea, a whisper resounded, carrying with it endless resentment and terror.
"Damn it!!"
A furious roar erupted from the Blood Sea.
A colossal vengeful spirit, towering over ten million feet, emerged from the Blood Sea.
When the Ancestor Minghe saw this scene, he was completely stunned!
"How could such a thing exist in my Blood Sea?!"
In all those days, he had never known that such a thing existed within his Blood Sea!
That can no longer be called a vengeful spirit.
Titles like "the root of resentment" and "the king of vengeful spirits" would be more fitting for him.
The giant roared to the sky, uttering the first sound of his arrival in this world.
"I am the one who belongs to this sea of the Blood Sea..."
Fuxi didn't give him a chance to finish speaking, and immediately slapped him down!
The giant, which had absorbed the power of all the vengeful spirits in the Blood Sea, vanished completely under that single palm strike!
This vengeful giant is a major obstacle that Houtu set up for the Six Paths of Reincarnation!
If this vengeful spirit is not eliminated, the Six Paths of Reincarnation will continue.
Those vengeful spirits constantly erode Houtu, who bears the burden of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Houtu of reincarnation.
In addition, the Baleful Qi energy within the Blood Sea further eroded its power.
Before long, there will be no more Houtu!
The Merits shimmered with golden light, and Houtu continued her actions.
She looked beyond the Netherworld Blood Sea, where the Yellow Springs Waters were still surging!
Houtu pondered for a moment, then continued speaking.
"Besides Reincarnation, there must be Netherworld here!"
She looked up at the sky again, but the boundless fog had not yet dissipated.
"This is the Underworld, where there are Yellow Springs of Hell and Netherworld Blood Sea in the Underworld."
The boundless mist that had been hovering above the dome began to spread rapidly in all directions as Houtu uttered those words.
"The living belong to the realm of the living, the dead belong to the Underworld; all living things in heaven and earth enter the Underworld the dead after death!"
As Houtu uttered these words, a profound and mysterious meaning spread throughout the hearts of all living beings in the Primordial World.
This is how all living beings in the Primordial World came to know that from then on, they would have to go to the Underworld after death!
"In the Underworld, there must be Netherworld!"
The Netherworld is a place established by Houtu to govern the souls of the dead.
How vast this boundless Primordial World is, how many souls have perished here.
Naturally, someone is needed to manage it.
Houtu flipped her hand and raised it upwards.
The next second, the Blood Sea stopped churning, and countless rays of light shot up, illuminating the sky!
A colossal city rose from the Blood Sea, and above its gates were the large characters "Fengdu"!
Before that city, a huge peach tree grew crookedly, resembling a gate, with the words "Ghost Gate" inscribed on it!
Before that Ghost Gate, the Yellow Springs flowed ceaselessly!
Houtu casually pointed, and a dirt road stretching into the depths of the mist cut the Yellow Springs water in two.
At the end of that dirt road lies the Ghost Gate!
However, the dirt road was bare on both sides, which was not very aesthetically pleasing.
Houtu frowned slightly, and nodded again.
The boundless expanse of blooming red Red Spider Lilies grew on both sides of the dirt road, drifting with the waters of the underworld!
When a soul enters the Underworld, it first travels the Yellow Springs Road, then passes through the Ghost Gate, and finally enters Fengdu City.
After entering Fengdu City...
Fengdu City is actually located on the edge of the Netherworld Blood Sea; further in, we will arrive at today's main event.
Houtu smiled, and with a casual gesture, a huge arched bridge connected Fengdu City, which rose from the Blood Sea and plunged directly into its Blood Sea!
Atop the arched bridge stands a massive rock.
If a wandering spirit were to glance at it, it would surely not see the face or voice of a family member long forgotten.
This giant rock is called the Stone of Seeing One’s Hometown!
After passing this huge rock, there is a place to cook soup on the bridge.
Any soul that wishes to be reincarnated and passes through this place must drink this bowl of Meng Po Soup to forget its past life!
Beyond these lies the end of the bridge, where the Eighteen Levels of Hell are neatly arranged.
Around this arched bridge, the Six Paths of Reincarnation emerge simultaneously.
At this Houtu, Houtu's form had already become illusory, with specks of golden light shining around her.
"From this day forward, all living beings of the Primordial World will be reborn in the Six Paths of Reincarnation after death!"
An endless pressure spread out, and Houtu's voice echoed throughout the Primordial World.
"The Six Realms are divided into the Formed Paths and the Formless Paths. The Formed Paths are the realms of Human Path and Beast Path, while the Formless Paths are the Heavenly Dao, Asura Path, Hungry Ghost Path, and Hell Path."
"Those who follow the tangible path can attain a physical body, also known as the flesh. Beings born from this path, whether human or demon, can cultivate the art of the primordial spirit, and after death, their souls are reincarnated into the next path."
"Apart from the Heavenly Dao, the formless Dao consists only of a primordial spirit. Although it can take form, it has no physical body. Those who are reincarnated from the Heavenly Dao are often extremely wealthy and noble, or those who have mastered the Dao."
"The Hell Path is where Underworld Bureaucracy suffer in the underworld; therefore, the Hell Path is the lowest, and the Heavenly Dao is the highest!"
"Netherworld, be established!"
Houtu's voice grew increasingly calm, echoing in the ears of all living beings in this Primordial World.
Above the sky, boundless Merits crashed down!
Sixty percent fell into Houtu's body, twenty percent entered the Minghe's body, and the remaining twenty percent was casually thrown into the Fuxi Qin by Fuxi.
Minghe was overjoyed.
The senior Fuxi really didn't lie to him. Just lending him the Blood Sea had brought him such great Merit. He was truly extremely lucky!
However, at this moment, Fuxi had no time to pay attention to the Minghe's agitated feelings.
Houtu's form became increasingly ethereal, and it was clear that she was about to completely merge with the Netherworld.
Fuxi then drank it.
"Houtu, quickly bring me a portion of the essence!"
