The moment the oath was uttered, heaven and earth fell silent!
Rumble--!
It was as if the entire Primordial Wilderness universe was shaken by this grand vow! An unprecedented spectacle, billions of times more powerful than the Minghe Establishing a Religion, unfolded!
The Great Dao responds!?
It does not originate from the Heavenly Dao Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, but rather from the supreme and mysterious origin of the Great Dao!
A Chaos Divine Light, whose color could not be described, whose magnificence could not be fathomed, and whose mystery could not be comprehended, crashed down from the depths of the endless void!
It disregarded the barriers of time and space, instantly piercing through the entire Netherworld Sea of Blood, completely enveloping Houtu's tiny yet incomparably majestic figure!
This light contains the mystery of the origin of all things, the great power of the reorganization of rules, and the highest recognition of Houtu's great compassion and great vow that transcends the individual and sacrifices herself for the whole Houtu!
At the same time, the Primordial Earth, the backbone supporting heaven and earth— Buzhou Mountain —trembled violently and unprecedentedly! It was not a Destruction tremor like a landslide, but a lament and resonance originating from the depths of one's blood!
Pangu's Will manifest!
The majestic Buzhou Mountain burst forth with a vast and boundless Xuan Huang light, as if the Father God Pangu had opened his eyes, which had been asleep for billions of years, and his gaze pierced through time and space, landing on the resolute daughter in the Blood Sea!
In that gaze, there was an indescribable complexity—grief, reluctance to part, but ultimately, all emotions transformed into the deepest sense of relief and acceptance.
A wisp of incomparably pure and refined Pangu's Primordial Spirit Imprint, carrying the Heaven-Opening power and the final expectation for the order of heaven and earth, merged into the divine light of the Great Dao and was poured into Houtu's body!
Throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness, all spirits prostrated themselves!
Whether it's the Dao Ancestor Hongjun cultivating in the chaos Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Three Pure Ones meditating Jieyin and Zhunti Kunlun Mountain, the Western Spirit Mountain's Di Jun Zhunti, or even Tai Yi in the Sun Palace who were just furious about Minghe Establishing a Religion but are now frozen in place by even greater shock, or even Styx who has just calmed down at the Edge of the Sea of Blood Minghe...
At this moment, all the Innate Deities, all the powerful cultivators, and all the beings that have awakened their intelligence felt the terrifying tremor originating from the source of the Great Dao and the tragic manifestation of Pangu's Will deep within their souls!
"The Great Dao manifested? The Pangu's Will resonated? This... this Houtu... what did she do?!"
Di Jun suddenly stood up, his handsome face beneath the Demon Emperor's crown filled with disbelief and horror.
The array diagram of the Great Formation of the Stars flashed wildly before him, indicating that the rules of heaven and earth were undergoing a fundamental reshaping!
In an instant, she realized that Houtu's actions would have an impact ten thousand times greater than the establishment of the Minghe Establishing a Religion!
The Witch Clan... it seems they have lost an Ancestral Witch, but Houtu has accomplished will be a great achievement that stands alongside the Heavenly Dao, or even more fundamental! He felt an unprecedented sense of loss of control.
"To transform oneself into a being of reincarnation... to create a pure land after death... What a magnificent Houtu! What a grand spirit, what immense compassion!"
On Kunlun Mountain, Laozi Tzu's usually calm face revealed a deep emotion for the first time. He frantically calculated with his fingers, but the secrets of heaven remained a mystery. Only an overwhelming and unstoppable will of great compassion swept across the Universe.
The Yuanshi Tianzun had a complex expression, showing both shock and a hint of barely perceptible apprehension.
The leader of Tongtian Cult had stern eyes, looking in the direction of the netherworld, with appreciation and emotion shining in his eyes.
In the West, the sorrowful face of the Jieyin deepened with compassion, and he clasped his hands together in prayer.
Zhunti's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he murmured:
"Reincarnation... the soul returns... a great opportunity! A great Karma! Perhaps the West..."
At the Edge of the Sea of Blood, the Minghe experiences the most direct and intense sensations.
The moment that divine light of the Great Dao and the Pangu's Will descended, he felt his proud Blood Sea origin tremble and submit!
Houtu's grand vow washed over his mind like a torrent.
The Golden Light of Merit that had been imprisoned by the Heavenly Dao before Establishing a Religion now appeared as insignificant as a firefly before the radiance of this Great Dao.
As Houtu's Houtu gradually blurred yet remained incomparably holy within the divine light, the Malevolent Qi and unwillingness in Minghe's heart caused by the obstruction of his Establishing a Religion were replaced by a greater shock and enlightenment.
"So... this is the true 'return of the soul'! This is the true meaning of the Blood Sea... no, this Netherworld! The Blood Sea is not the end, but rather... the beginning of the cycle!"
Minghe's gaze was fixed on the core of the divine light, and an unprecedented thought, like lightning, cleaved through the fog in his mind.
He felt that the "Dao" he had been searching for, the destination after the battles, the ultimate direction of the evolution of the Blood Sea, suddenly became clear in the face of Houtu's heroic act of transforming herself into reincarnation! His Dao was in this soon-to-be-formed cycle of reincarnation!
An immense, indescribable ecstasy and enlightenment instantly overwhelmed the Ancestor Minghe.
No longer was he defying the Heavenly Dao, but rather he was merging into this soon-to-be-born, more fundamental order! He saw a path even grander and more aligned with the origins of his Blood Sea than the Asura Sect!
The infusion of the divine light of the Great Dao and the Pangu's Primordial Spirit Imprint seemed to have lasted for eternity, yet also seemed to have occurred in a mere instant.
Within the divine light, Houtu's Ancestral Witch True Body began to undergo a fundamental and irreversible transformation and dissipation.
Her feet were the first to change; those Ancestral Witch feet, imbued with the boundless power of the earth, melted and expanded in the divine light. A vast, primordial power of the earth surged forth, merging with the divine light to transform into a boundless, immeasurably thick, and profoundly Xuan Huang earth—the very Foundation of Reincarnation, the Netherworld Fertile Soil!
This land rises above the Blood Sea and bloodshed, exuding an aura of peace, stability, and all-encompassing strength, as if providing an eternal refuge for wandering souls.
Immediately afterwards, her legs transformed into the Pillars of the Nine Netherworlds, supporting this Netherworld land. Thick and majestic, they were deeply rooted in the source of the Blood Sea and the chaotic void, radiating a powerful force that suppressed all turmoil.
Her torso, the core containing the immense essence and power of one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, was decomposed and reassembled amidst divine light. Six enormous, slowly rotating, and distinctly different mysterious portals were formed!
Each gate is as deep as an abyss, its surface flowing with extremely complex Great Dao Runes, corresponding to the Heavenly Dao, the Human Path, the Asura Path, the Animal Path, the Hungry Ghost Path, and the Hell Path! This is the core of reincarnation—the Gates of the Six Paths of Reincarnation!
Houtu's spine transformed into the Heavenly Pillar of Reincarnation, which runs through these Six Paths Portals and maintains their operational order, naturally imprinted with the patterns of the laws of reincarnation.
Her arms transformed into countless "Path of Reception" that traversed the netherworld and connected the myriad realms of the Primordial Wilderness world. Like countless ribbons radiating soft light, they automatically sensed and guided the wandering, lost souls of heaven and earth to this new home.
Her heart, the heart of the Ancestral Witch filled with compassion and a spirit of sacrifice, transformed at the center of the Foundation of Reincarnation into an eternally beating heart radiating warm light— the Heart of Reincarnation. Each beat propels the entire reincarnation system, transmitting the power of compassion and order to every corner.
Her Ancestral Witch essence blood, like billions of dazzling stars, scattered into the Netherworld and the Six Paths Portals, nourishing and evolving the landscapes and laws that should exist in the important places of reincarnation, such as the Yellow Springs Road, the Bridge of Helplessness, the Three Lives Stone, the Wangxiang Terrace, and the Eighteen Levels of Hell.
On the Yellow Springs Road, the red spider lilies bloom quietly; the Terrace of Wangxiang Terrace reflects the scene that the living beings cherished most in their past lives; the lines of Karma on the Three Lives Stone appear and disappear... The details of reincarnation are rapidly perfected in the divine light.
Finally, the head that carried all her memories, emotions, and the will of the Ancestral Witch also sublimated and dissipated in divine light, ultimately transforming into an ancient, profound, and mysterious illusory wheel that controlled the entire cycle of reincarnation.
The core imprint of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk is that an unprecedented, vast, precise, and orderly Six Paths of Reincarnation System of reincarnation, imbued with the power of compassion, finally took shape above the Blood Sea and in the depths of the netherworld!
