Houtu Transformed into Reincarnation, and Reincarnation Was Born
Just as everyone was waiting, Donghua and Houtu appeared together.
As the two arrived, all those who were resting or cultivating with their eyes closed stopped and focused their attention on them.
Donghua said nothing, but strolled over to the Heavenly Court, where Fuxi, the West Queen Mother, the Great Commander of Fate, Haotian, and others were all present.
"Greetings, Great Heavenly Venerate!"
Donghua nodded and hummed in agreement, his gaze fixed on the West Queen Mother, who was also looking at him with a strange expression.
Donghua felt his face burning. This time, he had truly done something to offend the West Queen Mother. Although he was forced to do it, it still made him feel very embarrassed.
"Will Houtu survive?" The West Queen Mother didn't ask about anything else, but instead inquired about Houtu's condition.
Donghua thought for a moment and said, "It's a 50/50 chance. If successful, Houtu will Attain Hunyuan Dao, obtain a territorial position, and her strength will be no less than that of the Six Sages; if she loses, she will die and her Dao will be extinguished, with no possibility of ever returning!"
The West Queen Mother suddenly chuckled softly and asked, "Didn't you leave Houtu any means to help her survive this calamity?"
Donghua did not answer, but turned around and fixed his gaze on Houtu.
At this moment, Houtu stood above the Blood Sea, her mind immersed in the Blood Sea. The power of the Great Dao Reincarnation permeated the Blood Sea, and countless souls cheered with joy.
As time passed, a power rose from the sea of the Blood Sea, a dark red light filling the Blood Sea, and a vortex appeared above Blood Sea.
Minghe stared at the scene in disbelief. He had lived in the Blood Sea since birth, but he had never known that such power and strange sounds existed within the Blood Sea.
"It seems I am truly not destined for reincarnation!"
At this moment, Houtu suddenly opened her eyes, the Great Dao Power flowing around her, her eyes like black holes, making people dare not look directly at her.
"Boom!"
Houtu ground, and the Ancestor Witch True Body appeared. She had a human body and a snake tail, seven hands behind her back, and two hands in front of her chest, holding a flying serpent. This flying serpent was transformed from the Way of the Earth and was a symbol of the Way of the Earth.
After revealing her true form, the power of reincarnation transformed into five black holes that illuminated the Primordial World and all the myriad realms. This situation continued for a long time, during Houtu continuously comprehended the Reincarnation Great Dao and the power of the Blood Sea.
"Boom!"
The swirling vortex suddenly shot into the sky, forming a pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth. Houtu's true form grew larger once more, as if she could pluck stars from the sky with one hand.
Houtu channeled the Great Dao Power, and an invisible force of rules spread throughout the Blood Sea. With the emergence of this force of rules, a world began to appear— the Netherworld Earth Realm!
As the Netherworld Earth Realm extended into the Blood Sea, a powerful force suddenly emanated from within the Blood Sea.
"Zha!"
A resounding voice of the Great Dao echoed throughout the Primordial Wilderness world, heard by all living beings, especially Primordial Wilderness dead, who seemed to be reborn in this lifetime.
After the Netherworld Earth Realm descended, it quickly merged with the pillar of light rising from the Blood Sea, and the two forces intertwined.
With a flick of Houtu hand, Houtu revealed the Human Book above the heavens, radiating a deep, dark light that surpassed the light of the sun, moon, and stars. In the world, only the light of the Human Book shone, while everything else appeared dim and lifeless.
As the Human Book appeared, it quickly soared into the sky, transforming into a gleaming Golden Scroll that stood tall in the Sky Vault, connecting the Netherworld Earth Realm and the Blood Sea.
Houtu directly transmitted the Reincarnation Great Dao to the people, and the rules of reincarnation changed instantly.
Countless threads extend from it, connecting every soul, spirit, and ghost, making the cycle of reincarnation within it increasingly clear, and all evolutions becoming clearer, while the scope of its influence continues to expand.
Then the Human Book changed again, from death to life, encompassing all living beings of the Primordial Wilderness.
"All beings are subject to reincarnation, and reincarnation continues. Death leads to reincarnation, life goes on endlessly—the path of the netherworld, the land of reincarnation!"
Within Houtu's sea of consciousness, the sounds of the Great Dao resounded continuously. These sounds also echoed within the Human Book and the cycle of reincarnation, covering trillions of miles and continuing to spread.
At that moment, Houtu's Reincarnation Great Dao split into five, completely transforming into five black holes of reincarnation. However, this was merely an illusory reincarnation created by the Great Dao Power.
Houtu stared blankly at this scene. She had failed and had not been able to evolve into true reincarnation, which also meant that she could not escape the fate of becoming a reincarnation with her own body.
"It's come to this after all!"
As she gazed upon the souls of the dead above the Blood Sea, a profound sense of compassion filled the heavens and earth.
"As Ancestor Witch, as a descendant of Pangu, what does it matter if I die for the sake of all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness?"
"We, Houtu, are willing!"
Houtu turned to look at the crowd above the Blood Sea, finally fixing her gaze on Xuan Ming and Donghua, and nodded heavily as a final farewell.
Donghua saw this but said nothing, only nodding to Houtu.
"Heavenly Dao above, I am Houtu, a Houtu of Pangu. Now I see the creatures of this Primordial World unable to live in peace or die in sleep! I now wish to transform myself into the cycle of reincarnation, to perfect the Dao of Earth, and to bring about the fruition of reincarnation for all beings!"
Houtu's ethereal voice rang out above the Blood Sea, and then traveled through the Heavenly Dao Primordial Wilderness.
Those who heard these words were immediately filled with awe, for this was a matter of great compassion, capable of relieving the suffering of Primordial Wilderness living beings after death.
At this moment, everyone understood what Houtu was about to do, but once they realized it, they couldn't sit still any longer.
Reincarnation and birth, the completion of the Earthly Path, this is another opportunity to prove the Dao. If they miss this opportunity, where will they find such immense fortune to prove the Dao in the future?
At this moment, Quasi-Saint could no longer sit still, but when they saw Donghua and the Six Saints, their hearts instantly turned cold.
Yes, even if the opportunity to create a tunnel arises, do they really have a chance?
The answer is no!
As long as these seven people are present, they have no chance. Just like what Donghua and the Six Saints discussed before, it must have been about the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld. Presumably, the benefits have already been divided.
"As long as Saint exist, so will great thieves!"
A Quasi-Saint who had survived from the ancient era couldn't help but sigh, but as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, speaking ill of someone in front of them.
Without caring what the Six Saints thought, he surged with the power of spacetime and instantly disappeared above the Blood Sea.
Upon hearing this voice, Donghua chuckled softly and said, "What this fellow Daoist said is indeed true. As long as Saint exist, great thieves will never cease, including myself, the Heavenly Emperor!"
Upon hearing Donghua's words, Nuwa nodded thoughtfully, Jieyin and Zhunti Jieyin and Zhunti indifferent, Tongtian didn't care, and Taishang's gaze remained fixed on Houtu and the Human Book.
Only Yuanshi wanted to say something, but ultimately couldn't utter it.
At this moment, Houtu still said:
"After all living beings, those who do not attain the status of Golden Immortal will enter the cycle of reincarnation, their past good and evil deeds will be judged, and they will enter the cycle of reincarnation once more..."
After saying this, Houtu flew to a height of trillions of miles above the Blood Sea, her whole body emitting a surging gray aura that instantly filled the entire sky above the Blood Sea.
"The Path of the Netherworld, Reincarnation, manifest!"
Houtu's voice resounded once more in the Primordial World, and boundless power and the power of reincarnation gathered together.
The gray mist continued to condense, forming an enormous Reincarnation Disc, which then attached itself to Houtu's five Reincarnation Black Holes.
"Bang!"
In the next instant, Houtu's body, magic power, essence blood, and everything else exploded, all of which merged into the Five Paths of Reincarnation.
Only the fragile primordial spirit remains, continuing to evolve and deduce reincarnation.
"Boom!!!"
Houtu cultivates the Reincarnation Great Dao by directly using her true body to bear the power of the Great Dao Rules of Reincarnation. Therefore, Houtu's true body merges into the Five Paths of Reincarnation.
The Five Paths of Reincarnation changed instantly; the illusory reincarnation originally formed by the Great Dao instantly solidified.
The place where the Netherworld and the Blood Sea merged gradually formed a world, and the entities of the Five Paths of Reincarnation gradually descended into this world.
Time passed slowly, and the Five Paths of Reincarnation finally solidified. Houtu's true form had completely transformed into the Dao, becoming a part of the Five Paths of Reincarnation.
Houtu's faint primordial spirit activated the Five Paths of Reincarnation, and the entire Netherworld Earth Realm and the Blood Sea instantly calmed down, returning to their previous state. The only difference was that the cycle of reincarnation had been completed.
"There are five paths of reincarnation: the path of Divine Dao, the path of humans, the path of animals, the path of hell, and the path of ghosts!"
As Houtu finished speaking, the Five Paths of Reincarnation instantly changed. The first path, mysterious and unpredictable, became the Divine Dao, meaning that those born from this path are born as gods!
I'd rather be a god than an immortal!
Because gods are the embodiment of rules, while immortals need to cultivate themselves!
The cycle of human reincarnation is the cycle of all things and spirits in the world, and it mainly applies to the human race and all other races. This is also the general trend of human nature, after all, Donghua and the Six Sages have already set the general trend of human nature.
The animal realm is a cycle of reincarnation, where beings are born as animals, devoid of intelligence and possessing only animal instincts. This realm should also apply to the demon race!
The cycle of reincarnation in the hell realm and the ghost realm can also be called the cycle of reincarnation in the earth Netherworld Earth Realm.
The Five Paths of Reincarnation can also be described as the Three Paths of Reincarnation, namely the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos, namely the Path of Divine Dao, the Path of Man, and the Path of Earth.
Pangu created the Primordial World, and the myriad great Daos eventually transformed into the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos Primordial Wilderness. Therefore, all things in the world, no matter how they change, ultimately reside within these three Daos, and even the Three Thousand Great Daos are no exception.
When Donghua heard about the five paths of reincarnation that Houtu had created, he frowned slightly. Reincarnation had been established, but it was different from the one in the other path.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation have become five realms of reincarnation, with the Asura realm being eliminated.
It seems that in the original trajectory, this was the condition for the Minghe to avoid the path, establishing the Asura Path, Minghe sharing a portion of the cycle of fate.
"Boom!"
As the cycle of reincarnation was completed, the entire Primordial World trembled. Above the nine heavens, the Mysterious Yellow Merit began to condense, and the vast merit cloud made the entire Primordial Wilderness appear in a golden state.
Between heaven and earth, celestial flowers and golden lotuses continuously appeared. These were formed by the condensation of the Great Dao Power and innate energy, and could be directly absorbed without any adverse effects.
At this moment, with the establishment of the Five Paths of Reincarnation, Houtu's weak primordial spirit began to dissipate, and at a very rapid pace.
Seeing this scene, the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Jieyin and Zhunti. The entire cycle of Primordial Wilderness in the Houtu could not have been established by Houtu, a Peak Quasi-Saint. Even a Primordial Chaos cultivator would have Hun Yuan difficulties.
Now that Houtu's true form and the Great Dao have been completely integrated into the Primordial Wilderness cycle of reincarnation, how could her remaining weak primordial spirit possibly sustain her?
Because Houtu's current primordial spirit is no different from these remnant souls above the Blood Sea, or even weaker, it can be blown away by the wind, so there is no need for them to take action at all.
Therefore, Houtu's establishment of reincarnation was a death sentence!
And all they need to do is wait for Houtu to die so that they can accept the underworld and reincarnation with a clear conscience, and even the merits!
But things turned out to be disappointing for the Three Pure Ones Jieyin and Zhunti!
Just as Houtu was about to completely dissipate, an ice crystal hairpin appeared around Houtu spirit, instantly emitting a power that gathered Houtu's collapsing primordial spirit together.
The power emanating from the jade hairpin was exactly the same as that of Houtu's Houtu spirit and the Great Dao, so there was no repulsion between the two.
When the Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Saints saw this scene, they immediately looked at Donghua.
"Donghua, did you do this?" Yuanshi Tianzun's anger could no longer be suppressed. He thought there would be no surprises regarding the matter of the cycle of reincarnation, after all, with the Five Saints united, who in the Primordial Wilderness could be their match?
Donghua snorted coldly and said, "Yuanshi, you're allowed to settle your scores, but you can't even let me take action?"
"Houtu Daoist Houtu is extremely compassionate. She transformed herself into the cycle of reincarnation to mend the Primordial Wilderness earth and make it perfect. Doesn't this act deserve your respect?"
"Moreover, Fellow Houtu and we are all guests of the Purple Sky Palace, and all students of our master. Don't you have any feelings for each other at all?"
"With such conduct, how can you still have the face to call yourselves Primordial Wilderness Saint?"
This time, Donghua showed no mercy and directly insulted the Three Pure Ones Jieyin and Zhunti in front of various forces and Great Powers in the Primordial Wilderness.
Donghua's every word was based on righteousness and human sentiment, so when he finished speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun was completely speechless.
Yuanshi Shi Qi's expression changed, but he didn't know how to refute it. After all, this was in front of everyone. Was he supposed to say that Houtu couldn't survive?
Taishang gently waved his whisk and said, "Junior Brother Donghua, you have misunderstood us. How could we not wish for Fellow Houtu to live?"
"But since Houtu Daoist Houtu has chosen to transform her body into reincarnation, if her primordial spirit does not merge into reincarnation, then reincarnation will be incomplete, which is something none of us want to see."
"So how can you, junior brother, disregard all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness the cycle of reincarnation for your own selfish desires? Don't forget, you are the Great Heavenly Venerate Heavenly Emperor of the Primordial Wilderness World!"
Donghua ignored Taishang's words because he was right. For the cycle of reincarnation to be complete, Houtu spirit must be integrated into it without any reservation. This was also the vow Houtu to the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao, to transform herself into the cycle of reincarnation.
But what Donghua needs to do is to ensure Houtu's survival and to make reincarnation complete.
To put it bluntly, it's about wanting both!
"Please rest assured, Senior Brother Taishang, if Donghua's actions cause the Primordial Wilderness cycle of reincarnation to be incomplete, then Donghua is willing to transform himself into reincarnation to make up for the imperfections!"
These words effectively shut down Taishang was about to say; what else could he possibly say?
At this time, Houtu spirit had stabilized and was no longer dissipating, but the power of the jade hairpin continued to be output.
At a certain moment, the jade hairpin suddenly separated into two drops of blood, which appeared in front of Houtu.
"Pangu Dao Blood?"
"How is this possible?"
"How could the blood of the Father God still exist in the Primordial Wilderness?"
"..."
The moment the Dao Blood appeared, the entire Blood Sea boiled, and everyone watched this scene in disbelief.
After the initial shock, a look of madness appeared in everyone's eyes, and they all wanted to possess that drop of blood.
After all, that is the Pangu Dao Blood. If one could refine it into one's body, even if one could not Attain Hunyuan Dao, at least reaching the Peak Quasi-Saint would not be a problem!
The only ones who remained calm were Donghua and the Six Saints, because although Pangu Dao Blood was powerful, it didn't have much effect on them; to be precise, it didn't have a decisive effect.
