Chen Shi and Chen Tang saw this scene, their hearts shaken violently.
Within the grand hall, could the continents and large landmasses floating uncertainly amidst the profound yellow qi be the Earthly Immortal Realm written of on the couplet?
Could it be that what Empress Houtu governed was not the childbirth, propagation, death, and reincarnation of the Western Ox Continent, but countless continents and large landmasses within the Sea of Darkness?
Chen Shi looked closely, finally finding the stone tablet erected before the temple.
The stone tablet soared into the clouds, the light flowing upon it merging into one entity with the temple behind it.
The willow tree upon which Scholar Zhu had hanged himself had now transformed into a giant tree connecting heaven and earth, standing tall before the temple and guarding this ancient structure.
At this moment, Scholar Zhu flew out from the small temple behind Chen Shi's head, gazing up at this scene and murmuring, "Can I still hang upon it?"
Chen Shi shook his head. "Probably not. Having a hanged ghost hanging outside the Empress Temple is simply too inauspicious."
Scholar Zhu earnestly corrected him, saying, "I am a ghost immortal."
"That is still a ghost," Chen Shi said.
Jueyangzi also flew out, gazing toward this temple currently taking form, and blurted out, "Empress Houtu! Back when the True King came to the Western Ox Continent, the Yin and Yang Worlds were not at peace; demons and monsters could freely enter and exit both realms, wreaking havoc among mortals. Thus, the True King invited an avatar of the Empress to completely separate the Yin and Yang Worlds and establish the order of humans, gods, and ghosts! I've heard that this Goddess is a deity of the pre-Qin era, of ancient origins and boundless divine power."
