Under the infusion of endless primordial light, the Netherworld Sea of Blood surged wildly.
The color of the Blood Sea changed from dark red to dark gold, and then to a deep, Chaos color that seemed to contain all colors.
The towering waves of blood subsided, transforming into the gently flowing Yellow Springs, carrying the breath of life and death.
One after another, the illusory images of the Underworld, formed from the purest laws of reincarnation and the golden light of merit, rapidly solidified above the Blood Sea.
The Ghost Gate Pass, the Yellow Springs Road, the River of Oblivion, the Naihe Bridge, the Terrace of Longing for Home, the Yama Hall, the illusory Eighteen Levels of Hell...
The Six Paths of Reincarnation: half hidden in the Prehistoric World, half merged with the Netherworld Sea of Blood.
Reincarnation has been achieved!
Moreover, it took shape in a way that far exceeded everyone's imagination, in a near-perfect form!
It did not undergo a long evolution, nor did it involve the complete physical disintegration and sacrifice of the Ancestral Witch Houtu.
It was like a blueprint that had been designed long ago, which was now directly derived by the Heavenly Dao with its supreme power and massive source!
At the moment when reincarnation was fully formed, a warm yet supremely majestic purple-gold mark fell from the void of the Heavenly Dao.
This mark, carrying immeasurable merit, landed on Houtu, its quantity even exceeding the total amount of merit accumulated by Heavenly Dao Sage upon attaining sainthood.
Houtu's Ancestral Witch True Body, which was about to completely dissipate, instantly solidified!
Houtu suddenly opened her eyes.
She could feel an incredibly close connection between herself and this newly born, complete land of reincarnation.
She can mobilize a portion of the power of reincarnation to regulate yin and yang, and to maintain order in life and death, without needing to eternally imprison herself within it.
"No--!!!"
A shrill, resentful, and absurd roar shattered the deathly silence.
Lu Song's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the now fully formed Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Then, he looked at Houtu, which was intact and whose aura was unfathomable.
His scheming, his plan to weaken the Witch Clan...
It's all over!
Not only was it over, but it was also something he couldn't understand at all.
The Heavenly Dao itself intervened to protect Houtu's physical body and even granted her the power of reincarnation.
how so!
Minghe stood on the Karma Red Lotus, looking at his Netherworld Sea of Blood, which had been transformed beyond recognition, and remained silent for a long time.
His Blood Sea... his sacred ground... gone.
But it seems to have transformed into something even more awesome?
The overwhelming power of the Heavenly Dao's descent and the outpouring of its essence left him with no room for resistance or discontent.
That was true divine might! It was the manifestation of the will of the Prehistoric World ruler!
At that Houtu had already merged with the Earthly Dao.
She is both the Ancestral Witch Houtu and the Empress Pingxin of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and her state is very similar to that of Hongjun is united with the Heavenly Dao.
Of course, this Prehistoric World Hongjun did not merge with the Heavenly Dao.
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on merging with the Earthly Dao and attaining sainthood."
Hongjun appeared beside Houtu with a smile on his face.
Houtu looked at Hongjun, her gaze piercing through everything, and she understood everything.
"I see..."
She glanced deeply at the void of the Heavenly Dao, then turned her gaze back to Hongjun.
" The Dao Ancestor has a clever method; he actually fooled everyone."
Hongjun laughed and said, "I am but a humble Daoist. This Poor Daoist, you are the one who established the Six Paths of Reincarnation for all living beings in the Prehistoric World; you are the one with true great compassion."
Houtu smiled without speaking, understanding Hongjun's purpose. She sighed deeply and then spoke:
"I have merged with the Earthly Dao and will no longer interfere in matters concerning Witch-Demon."
"From this day forward, there will be no more Ancestral Witch Houtu, only the Ping Xin of the Underworld."
After merging with the Earthly Dao, she had seen through everything and realized that the Witch Clan itself was largely to blame for this Measure Calamity.
If he were to show favoritism to the Witch Clan as a Saint of the Earthly Dao, the true Heavenly Dao of the Prehistoric World would likely suppress him instantly.
The Heavenly Dao governs the Prehistoric World, the Earthly Dao nurtures all things in the Prehistoric World world, and the Humanity Dao governs all spirits in the Prehistoric World.
Now that the Six Paths of Reincarnation has been established, she occupies the sacred position of the Earthly Dao Realm in the Heavenly Humanity Dao, and there should be five more Earthly Dao Saints in the Earthly Dao.
Houtu, at this moment, should perhaps be described as Ping Xin.
Her gaze fell upon the Minghe, whose face was filled with bitterness, in the Netherworld Sea of Blood.
" Minghe, the Six Paths of Reincarnation have just been established, and someone is needed to assist me in managing them. Are you willing to enter the Netherworld?"
The Minghe is still agonizing over the loss of half of the Netherworld Sea of Blood.
Upon hearing Ping Xin's telepathic message, he instantly realized what was happening.
" The Minghe is willing to lead the Asura Clan to assist Your Majesty in managing the Netherworld!"
He agreed without hesitation, even with a hint of barely concealed excitement.
Although we've lost half of our former homeland, the Blood Sea, if we can establish a foothold here and wield the power of reincarnation...
This isn't a loss; it's an incredible opportunity that just fell into our laps!
"Good."
Ping Xin nodded slightly, seemingly quite satisfied with Minghe's tactful response.
"The Asura Clan has committed many sins, yet they still have their uses in the cycle of reincarnation."
"As the progenitor of the Asura, you shall govern the Asura Dao, overseeing matters of killing, fighting, and the reincarnation of spirits of blood and courage."
"From this day forward, you are the Lord of the Netherworld Underworld and the Asura Dao. You shall use the merits of reincarnation to cleanse the Blood Sea and karmic debts of slaughter, guide the Asura to follow their path, and fulfill their responsibilities."
Ping Xin's voice was calm, yet carried the majesty of Earthly Dao sage, as if he were crowning the Minghe and establishing its authority and responsibilities.
Minghe was startled and quickly bowed, saying, " Minghe obeys the decree and will certainly not fail Your Majesty's trust!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a purplish-gold mark similar to the one that had previously fallen into Houtu's brow flew out from the depths of reincarnation and disappeared into the Minghe's brow.
But it is different from the complete and profound mark on Houtu.
The Minghe coin appears slightly lighter in color, and it has an additional blood-red shackle-like pattern.
"This is the mark of the Asura Dao's holy position, and also a bondage."
Ping Xin voice resounded directly within his Primordial Spirit.
"By using this mark, you can gain partial control over the Asura Dao's reincarnation, enjoy the blessings of the Earthly Dao's energy, and make your cultivation twice as effective."
"This mark also binds you to the Asura Dao and to reincarnation."
"If you stray from the right path, violate the order of reincarnation, or attempt to break free, the mark will backfire. At best, your Dao Foundation will be completely destroyed; at worst, your True Spirit will be condemned to eternal damnation at the bottom of the Blood Sea."
Minghe felt the power emanating from the mark between his brows, and felt no dissatisfaction.
From then on, he was Minghe, the Blood Sea Ancestor, and also the Lord of the Asura Dao in the Underworld, a Saint of the Earthly Dao!
After the Minghe completely merged with the mark between the eyebrows, a large mass of Heavenly Dao Merit also fell down at the same time.
Minghe's realm instantly broke through to the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
"Hahaha, I've succeeded, Ancestor!"
Looking Ping Xin at Lu Song on the Blood Sea Coast, Pingxin had already seen through his true nature.
Having merged with the Prehistoric World Earthly Dao, her current power is unmatched by anyone other than the Primordial Limitless.
"Fellow Daoist, this concerns the calculations of Heavenly Dao; it would be best not to intervene."
Hongjun spoke up from the side, fearing that Ping Xin would be killed by Lu Song directly.
Only living, breathing working people can truly be called working people!
Ping Xin nodded, her gaze piercing through Space-Time, landing on Chen Tian.
Unexpectedly, her thirteenth brother was also Outer-Heaven Demon...
After much deliberation, Ping Xin sighed softly and imprinted a reincarnation mark on Chen Tian's True Spirit.
