The Blood Sea above the abyss churned ceaselessly, countless shadows of departed souls faintly emerging amid its dark red waves.
Those souls had originally been scattered throughout the Blood Sea's turbid baleful energies.
Some had become Blood Fiends, some had sunk into the filth and struggled, and some had already reached the brink of dissipation.
But now, as the reincarnation law was formally established within the Heavenly Dao, they all stopped wailing.
They ceased struggling and drifted together toward the entrance to the Netherworld World, as though answering some summons from deep within their origins.
There stood a newly formed Ghost Gate, a natural gateway bestowed upon the Blood Sea by the reincarnation law.
The Blood Sea had always been a gathering place for filth and turbid baleful energies, while the Netherworld was the destination where departed souls were purified amid those energies.
The Ghost Gate marked the boundary between the two worlds. For departed souls, entering the Ghost Gate meant entering reincarnation.
Those departed souls, once treated as refuse by the Primordial World, now had a true place to return to.
The Funerary God law deity at Randeng's brow suddenly lit up.
He could clearly sense the way of burial and the reincarnation Dao joining perfectly at that moment.
The way of burial guided departed souls here from the Primordial World.
The reincarnation Dao sent departed souls onward to rebirth. One bid farewell, the other granted new life; like yin and yang, they together formed a complete cycle of life and death.
The flame of the Glazed Lamp in his hand flickered slightly, and the miniature starry sky within it resonated faintly with the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk in the Netherworld World.
The funerary lamp guided departed souls home, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation granted them new life.
