Houtu Establishes the Eighteen Levels of Hell

"The first step is for the City Gods of the Primordial World lands to take effect."

"If any living being dies or is about to die, they can be recorded and communicated with the Soul Reapers Black and White Impermanence."

"Then, the Black and White Impermanence messengers, along with others, arrived at the Primordial World Emperor's place to collect souls and spirits, locking onto the vengeful spirits and leading them to the Soul-Devouring Road in the mortal world."

"Once you cross this path, you'll be separated from the living and the dead. Reaching the first Ghost Gate Pass, the Ghost Gate Pass, means you've officially entered the Netherworld."

"Beyond the Ghost Gate Pass lies the River of Forgotten Sorrows, also known as the River of Forgotten Sorrows."

"Crossing the River of Forgetfulness marks the beginning of the Yellow Springs Road, for once you've gone Yellow Springs, there's no turning back."

"Following the path of the Yellow Springs, you will reach the Naihe Bridge of Helplessness. To cross the Naihe Bridge Meng Po's Soup, you must drink the Meng Po's Soup. Those who drink the Meng Po Soup will forget their past lives when they are reincarnated. Those who do not drink the Meng Po's Soup cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation."

"After crossing the Naihe Bridge, a Home-Gazing Terrace can be built. Its main purpose is to allow wandering souls to look back at their hometown where they were born and raised."

"The Empress Houtu must have a magical artifact called the Three Lives Stone, right?"

"The Three Lives Stone can be placed on the Home-Gazing Terrace. Any spirit standing before the Three Lives Stone can have its past three lives, middle three lives, and future three lives revealed, thus determining whether it will enter the Eighteen Levels of Hell and which cycle of reincarnation it will enter."

"Soul-Bewildering Hall can be set up behind it. When entering the Soul-Bewildering Hall, one must drink Soul-Bewildering Soup. Once someone drinks the Soul-Bewildering Soup, their last glimmer of hope is completely cut off. Even if Daluo Golden Immortal came, it would be difficult to bring them back to the mortal realm."

"After passing the Soul-Bewildering Hall, you can arrive at Fengdu City. The Ten Yama Kings Hell can be stationed here. Based on the observations of the Three Lives Stone and the judgments of the Ten Yama Kings, it will ultimately be decided which cycle of reincarnation they will enter."

"Whether it's reincarnation or entering the Eighteen Hells, you will be judged here."

"As for the spirits that have passed judgment, they can go to the Nether Underworld to await reincarnation. As the saying goes, the mortal realm has a lifespan, and the underworld also has a lifespan."

"Wouldn't this make the entire cycle of reincarnation extremely orderly?"

"Wouldn't it be wonderful if the true Netherworld could finally be at peace?"

Upon hearing this, a golden light shot out from Empress Houtu's eyes.

She never imagined that such a wonderful arrangement could happen.

If this arrangement is truly implemented, then the incredibly Nether Underworld will surely be brought to complete peace.

Even the Six Paths of Reincarnation will become more orderly than ever before.

By then, she will have Zhenzhen been freed.

But one question remained lingering in her mind.

What are the Eighteen Levels of Hell?

"The so-called Eighteen Hells are actually places where evil spirits are punished."

"If someone commits many evil deeds in the mortal world, they will inevitably accumulate a lot of karma. Some beings, even if they die, cannot repay the karmic debts they have committed."

"Then we need eighteen people to come from hell to torment them and remove the karmic burdens that have accumulated on them."

"Only in this way can they be forever separated in this life and the next."

"The Eighteen Levels of Hell are: First level: Tongue-Pulling Hell; Second level: Scissor Hell; Third level: Iron Tree Hell; Fourth level: Karma Mirror Hell; Fifth level: Steamer Hell; Sixth level: Copper Pillar Hell; Seventh level: Knife Mountain Hell; Eighth level: Ice Mountain Hell; Ninth level: Oil Cauldron Hell; Tenth level: Ox Pit Hell; Eleventh level: Stone-Crushing Hell; Twelfth level: Mortar-Pounding Hell; Thirteenth level: Blood Pool Hell; Fourteenth level: Unjust Death Hell; Fifteenth level: Dismemberment Hell; Sixteenth level: Volcano Hell; Seventeenth level: Stone Mill Hell; Eighteenth level: Knife-Saw Hell."

Upon hearing these words, Houtu's eyes once again burst forth with unparalleled golden light.

This is absolutely brilliant.

If these so-called Eighteen Hells were ever built, they would surely possess unparalleled merit that would shake heaven and earth.

After thinking these things through...

Houtu gave Ye Xuan a deep look.

He then bowed respectfully to Ye Xuan.

The guidance from the Human Dao Saint was indeed of immeasurable merit to her.

Ye Xuan looked at Houtu, who suddenly showed him respect, and immediately a look of joy appeared on his Houtu.

It seems this trip to the underworld was worthwhile.

Houtu turned around and bowed deeply into the distance.

"The Earthly Dao Repository reveal that reincarnation exists above all else, and there must be a complete underworld."

"In the name of the Lord of Reincarnation, I have established a complete Underworld with the Netherworld, controlling the Netherworld and suppressing all evil!"

No sooner had these words been spoken than a deafening roar resounded throughout the Nether Underworld.

The entire space has also undergone tremendous changes.

"The Netherworld has official residences, and there must be a Netherworld City. This city can be named Fengdu City. Fengdu City, depart!!!"

"Fengdu City, there must be Six Heavens Ghost-God Palaces to assist in the operation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Six Heavens Ghost-God Palaces, appear!!!"

"-------"

With the words of Houtu.

The turmoil in the entire Nether Underworld intensified.

A colossal palace city rose from the ground.

Outside this city, six incredibly ancient palaces were built.

This is the eerie Fengdu City, and the six Six Heavens Ghost-God Palaces.

Houtu is Earthly Dao Saint; her Words Followed by Law, and thus they are!

"When a wandering soul arrives at the Netherworld, it must first embark on the Soul-Devouring Road, cross the Gates of Ghost Gate Pass, traverse the River of Forgotten Sorrows, tread the Yellow Springs Road Naihe Bridge, struggle to cross the Bridge of Helplessness, Home-Gazing Terrace, Three Lives Stone reflects three lifetimes."

" In the Soul-Bewildering Hall, the Soul-Bewildering Soup Souls is poured; the Ten Yama Kings sentence one to reincarnation—"

Following the words of the Empress Houtu.

Various unique terrains are causing tremendous changes.

In addition, one after another, ghostly structures gradually took shape in the Netherworld.

The Yellow Springs River boiled endlessly, with countless withered bones floating and sinking.

One after another, incredibly sinister and menacing passes gradually appeared.

The Ghost Gate Pass, the River of Forgetfulness, the Yellow Springs Road to the Underworld, and the Naihe Bridge appeared one by one.

With the emergence of these things.

The facilities needed for reincarnation are basically all there.

In the end, only the Eighteen Levels of Hell remained.

The Eighteen Levels of Hell are among the most important.

Those who do good deeds and accumulate virtue in their lifetime will be reborn into wealth and honor.

Those who commit evil deeds in their lifetime must pay for the sins they have committed.

As the Human Dao Saint said, establishing Eighteen Levels of Hell is essential.

Houtu took a deep breath.

"In the name of Houtu, the Lord of Reincarnation of Reincarnation, I have created Eighteen Levels of Hell within the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

"The first of the Eighteen Levels of Hell Tongue-Pulling Hell. Those who sow discord, slander others, are glib-tongued, or lie will be sent to this Tongue-Pulling Hell."

"The second level of the Eighteen Levels of Hell, the Scissor Hell ------"

"The third level of the Eighteen Levels of Hell, the Iron Tree Hell -------"

"The fourth level of the Eighteen Levels of Hell, the Karma Mirror Hell --------"

The Earthly Dao Houtu, employing unparalleled methods, gradually created the Eighteen Levels of Hell.

While creating hell, they also narrate the corresponding rules.

Although the whole process was incredibly complicated, the Human Dao Saint had explained it to her quite clearly.

Therefore, establishing a well-established system of Eighteen Levels of Hell is quite easy.

Finally, the Eighteen Levels of Hell were completed.

The essential conditions for the Six Paths of Reincarnation have now been fully established.

Houtu's face turned pale at this moment.

However, they persisted stubbornly.

"Once the Six Paths of Reincarnation are established, corresponding deities are required."

"In the name of Houtu, the Lord of Reincarnation, I establish the Underworld's official system."

" In the Netherworld, there should be a great emperor, named the Great Emperor Fengdu."

"The Great Emperor Fengdu governs the Netherworld, rules the netherworld, controls all evil, and controls the Human Book of Book of Life and Death, Thousand-Autumn Judge's Brush."

"Beneath the Great Emperor Fengdu are the Five Ghost Emperors, the Six Heavens of Luofeng, the Ten Yama Kings, and others, who assist the Great Emperor Fengdu."

"Besides these, there are Meng Po, the Yin-Yang Judge, Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face —many other deities."

The Netherworld was finally completed.

The next moment, a deafening thunderclap resounded throughout the Netherworld.
