Earth Treasury King "closed up", and the two closed Jade Cloud Palace doors seemed to silently tell the helplessness of this Quasi-Saint. Ten Kings of Hell knelt on the ground, buried his head in his crotch, and did not dare to breathe out.
The entire Hall of Myriad Judgments was completely silent, except for the slight "beep" sound made by Lin Feng when turning over the holographic projection of Book of Life and Death, and the smell of gunpowder smoke in the distance.
Just when Lin Feng was about to leave with the modified data of Book of Life and Death and several carts of "souvenirs" plundered from King of Hell's private vault, a sudden change occurred.
"Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc", which had been quietly suspended in the deepest part of Underworld and slowly rotating like a huge black hole, suddenly stopped rotating.
An aura that was even grander and older than Earth Treasury King just now, and even contained a hint of the motherly glory of the earth, emerged from the depths of Reincarnation Disc. This aura did not have murderous intent, but was as thick as a mountain, as if it carried the weight of billions of living beings.
Everyone present, including Nezha and Yang Jian, felt a kind of depression originating from the depths of their souls. It was an instinctive awe when facing the "root".
"Buzz--"
The void trembled, and countless Netherworld Other Shore Flower bloomed out of thin air, paving a red carpet.
A female figure wearing light yellow palace clothes, with a compassionate face but filled with endless sadness, slowly walked out of Reincarnation Disc. She did not wear shoes, and stepped barefoot into the void. Every step she took would cause ripples in the void.
She is Houtu. She is also Lady Pingxin.
She is a great virtuous saint who has reincarnated into reincarnation. Among this Underworld, her status is above all else. Even if Dao Ancestor Hongjun comes, in front of this Six Paths of Reincarnation, she must be given three cents.
"Greetings, empress!"
Ten Kings of Hell, who was trembling just now, felt as if she had seen her biological mother. She was so excited that tears filled her eyes and she banged her head. In their opinion, if the empress came out, this Underworld would be saved, and this Lin Feng would definitely be doomed.
Lin Feng stopped, turned around, and looked at the legendary Mother Earth.
He didn't kneel or even bend down. But he didn't turn on the taunting mode like he did with Earth Treasury King. Instead, he put away his cynical expression and nodded slightly, which was regarded as an equal greeting.
"You're here." Lin Feng spoke in a calm tone, as if he was waiting for an old friend.
Lady Houtu's eyes, which seemed to have seen through hundreds of millions of years, stared at Lin Feng quietly, then looked at the hundred suspended Star Destroyers outside, and finally their eyes fell on Book of Life and Death, which was changed to "holographic tablet" mode by Lin Feng.
"Donor Lin, have you had enough trouble?"
Her voice was very soft and gentle, but it rang clearly in everyone's ears, "You destroyed Ghost Gate Pass, disturbed the souls of the dead, and drove back Ksitigarbha. Now, you even want to take this Book of Life and Death as your own. Do you want to destroy this Six Paths of Reincarnation?"
"Destroy?"
Lin Feng smiled, and he casually played with "Fate-Altering Brush" (formerly Judge's Brush) in his hand, spinning it as fast as a pen, "I misunderstood. I am from a construction background, and I hate violence. Everything I do is for 'optimization'."
"Optimization?" Houtu frowned slightly, as if he was unfamiliar with this word.
"That's right."
Lin Feng snapped his fingers, "System, project the 'Underworld Digital Reform Plan 2.0'."
Whoosh!
A huge holographic light curtain unfolded in front of Houtu. This light curtain was a hundred feet high, with various charts, data, architectural models and PPT presentations densely listed on it.
"My dear, please take a look."
Lin Feng pointed at the light screen, transformed into the top salesman, and talked:
"The current Underworld is so inefficient that it is simply a primitive society. Artificial seduction often makes mistakes; artificial trials are not only slow, but also prone to corruption (he glanced at Ten Kings of Hell, making them tremble in fear); artificial reincarnation, it depends on your mood. In addition, Heavenly Court and his gang are interfering randomly, and Buddhist Order will also have a hand in it. Underworld has completely become a vassal of Heavenly Court and a garbage disposal plant for all forces."
"Look at the data. The retention rate of innocent souls is as high as 40%, the miscarriage rate is 5%, and the corruption and bribery index is off the charts. What is the meaning of such a reincarnation?"
Houtu was silent. What Lin Feng said was the truth, and it was also the pain in her heart.
"What do you want?" Houtu asked.
"My plan is to establish a 'fully automatic soul assembly line'."
Lin Feng With a wave of his hand, the picture on the light screen changed. It turned into skyscrapers and transmission pipelines full of science fiction.
"First, introduce the 'Soul Big Data Scanner'. As soon as the ghost enters the door, it directly scans all the good and evil in its lifetime, generates a QR code, automatically determines the value of good and evil, cancels manual trials, and eliminates any human sophistication."
"Second, establish a 'quick reincarnation channel', that is, build a time-space portal at this location (pointing to the map). Based on the points of good and evil, directly launch the soul into the belly of a pregnant woman in the corresponding plane. It is precise, efficient, and has zero error."
"The third and most important point is."
Lin Feng put away his smile, took a step forward, looked directly into Houtu's eyes, and his voice became serious and powerful, even with a hint of confusion.
"Underworld is independent."
As soon as these four words came out, Houtu Ancient Well's originally calm eyes suddenly fluctuated, as if a huge stone had been thrown into the calm lake.
"From today on, Underworld is no longer under the jurisdiction of Heavenly Court, nor is it under the jurisdiction of me, Heavenly Strategy Manor. It will be an independent third-party organization and will only be responsible for the 'rules'."
"You and I join forces. I provide technical and force protection to help you clean up all external interference. You provide the support of Earthly Dao law to maintain the circulation of reincarnation."
"Underworld in the future does not need to look at Jade Emperor's face or listen to Spirit Mountain's nagging. You have the final say here."
Lin Feng's words hit Houtu's heart with every word.
Houtu was silent for a long time.
She has been reincarnated for hundreds of millions of years, trapped in this netherworld, watching Underworld being infiltrated by Heavenly Court, Buddhist Order, and being used as a chessboard for games by all forces. Although she is the master of Underworld, she often cannot help herself. No one can understand the pain in her heart.
"Underworld is independent..." Houtu murmured to himself, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, but then dimmed, "Heavenly Dao will not allow it. Hongjun... will not allow it either. This Three Worlds cake has already been divided, and it affects the whole body."
"Heavenly Dao?"
Lin Feng sneered and pointed to the top of his head, which was in the direction outside Thirty-Three Heavens, "Heavenly Dao is nothing. I just passed the old man above, and he can't do anything to me. As for Hongjun..."
Lin Feng suddenly burst out with a scornful aura, which is the self-confidence of a time traveler and the tyranny of the strong, "As long as the control of Underworld is in your hands, with the blessing of Earthly Dao's laws, plus the firepower coverage of my hundred Star Destroyers, even if Hongjun comes in person, what can I do to you?"
"My dear, times have changed."
"In the past, you were talking about 'complying with God's will', but now I'm talking about 'man can conquer nature', oh no, it's 'technology can conquer nature'."
"What are you still hesitating about? Do you want to watch this Underworld continue to rot? Do you want to watch that old bastard Earth Treasury King chanting sutras at your door every day?"
"As long as you nod your head, my hundred warships will be stationed outside Underworld. Whoever dares to point fingers, I will attack anyone. Whether it is a heavenly soldier or general, or an Arhat Bodhisattva. My artillery fire will only serve the range of your Truth."
These words completely shattered Houtu's last worries.
She looked at the efficient, just, independent, and non-oppressive future Underworld on the hologram, and then looked at Lin Feng with firm eyes and sharp eyes.
She was tired. She really didn't want to see Underworld in such a mess again. She wanted to fight for this sentient being one last time.
"Lin Feng, you are a madman."
Although Houtu's voice was still soft, it was more decisive than ever before, "But perhaps, only a lunatic like you can break this stagnant deadlock and tear apart this hypocrisy Heavenly Dao."
She stretched out her palms as white as jade, and in her palms condensed a simple seal exuding earthy yellow light - that was "Reincarnation Seal" representing the highest permission of "Earthly Dao".
"I will lend you this seal temporarily. But this does not mean that I surrender to you, but that I... cooperate."
"I hope you keep your promise and don't let Underworld become another Heavenly Court."
"If one day, you break your promise and let Underworld become a tool of your selfish desires..." Houtu's eyes became extremely sharp, and Reincarnation Disc behind him roared, "Even if the six paths collapse, I will hold you together and fall forever."
Lin Feng took the seal and felt the power of the law inside, which was as vast as the sea and heavy.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host!]
[Successfully reached a strategic alliance with Lady Houtu.]
[Props obtained: Earthly Dao Authority (50%).]
[Underworld has been included in the order system of 'Eternal Divine Kingdom'.]
Lin Feng smiled, brightly and sincerely.
"Don't worry, Madam. Although I am not a good person, I am the most honest person in business."
He turned around and ordered to the already stunned people:
"Nezha! Yang Jian!"
"Here!"
"Leave half of the engineering team, that is, the fifth and sixth brigades, to start the 'modernization' of Underworld. First, demolish this gloomy Hall of Myriad Judgments, which is too moody, and replace it with an office building with a full glass curtain wall, which should be transparent! Also, build a private villa for the queen, equipped with the best Wifi, and connect the 'Immortal Network' of Heavenly Court."
"As you command!"
After finishing Underworld's matter, Lin Feng turned around and looked at the dark void outside.
Heavenly Court won it, Underworld got it.
Next...
He set his sights on the east, where there is the vast ocean and a group of the richest but also cowardly "rich rich people".
"Let's go to the beach to eat seafood. By the way... collect some protection fees."
