A Day Trip to the Underworld

Three thousand years later.

Taiyi had absorbed nearly all the gains from that great battle.

Restless after prolonged stillness, he flashed directly to the Underworld Great World.

As the main battlefield of the previous battle in the Underworld, the Underworld Great World had been extensively affected. Even the Land of Reincarnation had nearly been blown apart.

Had Goddess Houtu not defended it desperately, and had Taiyi not deliberately protected it, the Six Paths of Reincarnation would likely have become a relic of Primordial Wilderness history.

Fortunately, the Underworld's origin had not been lost. Thus, under Goddess Houtu's nurturing saintly power over these years, the Underworld Great World had gradually returned to its former state.

That day, Taiyi concealed his tracks and strolled through the Underworld Great World.

Whenever the Underworld was mentioned, it was almost invariably associated with gloom, darkness, misery, and death.

Before entering seclusion, however, Taiyi had secretly hinted to Sister Houtu and Sister Nüwa, asking the two sisters to transform and rebuild the Underworld together.

One controlled the great path of rebirth through the Six Paths of Reincarnation, while the other controlled the Great Dao of Creation.

The chemical reaction sparked by two saintly goddesses gathered together was immensely powerful.

Neither Goddess Houtu nor Goddess Nüwa was an ordinary person, so naturally, they understood Taiyi's hidden implication.

The Netherworld had been a place of extreme misery—either the Eighteen Levels of Hell or judgment by the Ten Kings of Hell.

Here, one could basically see only yin souls and the deceased being punished through exhausting labor.

deep down, they still harbored more or less resistance.

Strands of resentment and hatred thus accumulated.
