In the Netherworld Underworld, a miracle was quietly taking place.
Before the calamity began, Ye Xuan had made plans early on because he knew the tragic outcome of the war between the Wu Clan and the demon race.
He had earnestly persuaded every Ancestral Witch to leave behind a trace of their origin True Spirit in the depths of the Six Paths of Reincarnation as a way out.
At the time, some of the Ancestral Witches had not taken it seriously, but at Houtu's insistence, all Twelve Ancestral Witches did as he said.
At this moment, twelve dim spheres of light within the pool of reincarnation origin were slowly absorbing the power of the Earthly Dao.
Under Houtu and Ye Xuan's watchful eyes, the spheres of light gradually solidified.
Nourished by the power of reincarnation, Di Jiang, Zhu Rong, Gong Gong, and the others shed their former turbid physical bodies and reshaped incomparably solid divine bodies.
These were ghost cultivator bodies unique to the underworld. Though they had lost the brute might of their Ancestral Witch bodies, they gained a deeper, more profound harmony with the laws of the netherworld.
As the light flickered, the Ancestral Witches of old returned to their places one after another.
Di Jiang, Zhu Rong, and ten other Ancestral Witches became the Ten Yama Kings, who wielded the punishments of hell and each guarded one of the Tenfold Hells.
Ju Mang and several other Ancestral Witches became the Five Ghost Emperors, responsible for suppressing the various passes of the underworld.
As for Xuan Ming, the laws within her became lingering and gentle after the cleansing of reincarnation, and she transformed into Meng Po, who controlled the River of Forgetfulness and the Bridge of No Return.
The Ancestral Witches reunited with Ye Xuan in the underworld.
