Man in the wilderness, Shui Yuan becomes a saint

Chapter 217: Reincarnation!
The invitation from the Emperor of the Underworld left Houtu speechless for a moment - although the method of beheading corpses has not yet officially appeared in the world and is currently only in the hands of a few people, Houtu is not a fool. How could she not see the relationship between the Emperor of the Underworld and Xishen?
This is clearly the same person. At most, it is just some special method of splitting oneself that can change the original energy!

However, at this moment, Hou Tu did not reject Emperor Xuanming's plan. There are three reasons for this:

Firstly, since the battle at the Black Water border of the Earth Realm, there has been no friction between the Earth Emperor Palace and the Black Water Taoist Palace for a long time. The two sides have divided the territory and governed the border of the underworld, and have remained calm and restrained.

As a result, the order of the earth was slowly restored, and as the Black Water Palace governed the Black Water and the Underworld and clarified the matters of the Sea of ​​Blood and the Nine Springs, Hou Tu also gained considerable benefits. Under such circumstances, she naturally did not want to break this rare tacit understanding.

Secondly, it is because the Emperor of the Underworld or Qi Yu himself has strong deterrent power.

Also after the battle at the Black Water border, Hou Tu finally realized the horror of Qi Yu, the "rising star". Although he had only been famous in the prehistoric world for ten thousand years, Qi Yu's rising momentum was terrifying, and he crushed countless "older generation" strong men in terms of cultivation and combat power.

Even now, it seems that it has reached the top level in the world, no weaker than Taiyi in the past, and may even surpass him in some aspects!

Hou Tu certainly doesn't want to offend such a person further after he no longer "actively" becomes an enemy of the Witch Clan. In her opinion, it might be a good idea for both sides to maintain their current status. At least in the current situation of confrontation between the Witches and the Liches, such a relationship will not cause the situation on the Witch Clan's side to further collapse, which is also good news.

As for these three, they are closely related to Hou Tu's spiritual perception at this moment -

From the first moment she saw Emperor Xuanming, Hou Tu had an extremely subtle feeling in her heart, which was somewhat similar to the heart-touching feeling she had when she watched Taiyi attain enlightenment before, but it was even stronger, as if she had encountered some kind of great opportunity!
This was a little surprising to her. Was there any chance for her in Emperor Xuanming? Or could he bring her some enlightenment?
But just thousands of years ago, this person was his biggest enemy!
Thinking of this, Hou Tu was silent for a while, and finally spoke after thinking for a long time.

"Where does the Emperor want to go?"

Hou Tu finally chose to let go, and by the way, she also gave up the unimportant "little matter" of whether the person in front of her was Qi Yu, and instead shifted her attention to the destination of Emperor Xuanming.

Hearing this, Emperor Xuanming smiled faintly and spoke frankly.

"Where to go is not up to me right now, but up to Your Majesty, isn't it?"

After hearing these words, Houtu was speechless again, but she also understood what Emperor Xuanming meant. After a moment, she set off again, and this time, Houtu took the initiative to walk in front, not caring about Emperor Xuanming behind her, and began to shuttle through the depths of the sea of ​​blood.

Seeing this, Emperor Xuanming, who was the evil corpse of Qi Yu, followed closely behind. The two seemed to be wandering aimlessly in the Netherworld Sea of ​​Blood, but in fact they were walking to the place where the wronged souls gathered in the depths of the sea of ​​blood, seeing all kinds of things in between.

Hou Tu seemed to be deeply touched by this, and even nearly cried when she reached the depths. However, Emperor Xuan Ming was not like that. At most, he just had some feelings, but was not too moved.

This is related to his origin as the three corpses of Qi, Yu and Evil. The most crucial point why the three corpses are not real living beings is that their essence comes from the three thoughts of "good", "evil" and "attachment", so they have defects in their "heart" and cannot be truly perfect.

Qi Yu's decision to send Emperor Xuanming to accompany Houtu was obviously based on some considerations - Houtu opened up the Six Paths and perfected the reincarnation of the ancient world. This was the will of heaven and a rare act of great virtue in the world. It was an important transformation for Houtu as the Mother of the Netherworld, and there was almost no selfish motive involved!
For this reason, Qi Yu deliberately chose Emperor Xuanming instead of the other two corpses, intending to try to break through the inherent limitations of the Three Corpses Method, so that the Three Corpses God could go one step further and achieve perfection.

This was obviously an attempt without much practical basis, so Emperor Xuanming himself was not aware that the deity had such an idea. He only thought that the deity was interested in the authority of reincarnation, and that he was the best person to guard the underworld for the deity, so he was sent out.

In this way, Emperor Xuanming swam in the sea of ​​blood with Houtu without knowing anything, and accompanied the latter on the most important and final journey of her life.

This departure lasted for a full ten years!

……

Ten years passed quietly in the intense arms race between the witches and demons. The two sides were trying their best to catch up with each other. The eleven witch ancestors except Hou Tu, Emperor Jun and all the demon saints were practicing hard in order to achieve a breakthrough and completely overwhelm the other side on the battlefield. At the same time, on Kunlun Mountain, Qi Yu himself found Nuwa who was still practicing on a fairy peak.

"Your Highness, I am here to fulfill the promise I made to you. If nothing goes wrong, you should be able to take charge of the Earth Palace smoothly and become the second generation Earth Emperor of the prehistoric world and the third Palace Master of the Earth Palace!"

The sudden congratulations obviously surprised Nuwa. She looked at Qi Yu who came alone and asked curiously.

"Why do you say that, fellow Daoist? Is it because the witches and liches are going to start a war again? Do you think the demons are better this time?"

At the moment, although Nuwa has gained the allegiance of many neutral factions, and her power has greatly increased because Qi Yu has established a foundation in the earth, and with the support of the central Wu Tu Taoist Palace, she has a tendency to surpass Hou Tu and challenge the throne of the Emperor of the Earth, but Hou Tu occupies the foundation of reincarnation and is ultimately the ruler of the earth.

It can be said that as long as Hou Tu remains in power, it will be difficult for her to truly surpass the latter and become the Emperor of Earth!
Under such circumstances, Nuwa really didn't understand why Qi Yu said this. Naturally, she could only imagine that Hou Tu would die violently in the subsequent war between the wizards and the liches, and Qi Yu had anticipated this in advance, so he came to congratulate her in advance.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yu denied this conjecture the next moment.

"No—"

"The witches and demons are going to raise their troops to fight again, but this has little to do with the legitimacy of the Emperor of the Earth that Your Majesty is about to obtain. In fact, Hou Tu is about to withdraw from the competition with Your Majesty. From now on, Your Majesty can walk alone on the road of the Emperor of the Earth. I congratulate you for this."

Qi Yu was obviously a very qualified riddle teller. After talking for a long time, he did not reveal any key words about Hou Tu's upcoming perfection of reincarnation. He just congratulated Nuwa on her wish coming true, leaving the latter even more confused.

However, Nuwa also knew Qi Yu's character and knew that the latter would not joke about such a big thing, so she remained calm and without much emotion. She just smiled brightly.

"It seems that you are in some trouble and it is inconvenient to speak directly!"

"Forget it, I won't make it difficult for you. Thank you for telling me about this happy event in advance. But, can you tell me how long this so-called next thing will take? If you don't tell me, I really can't sleep or eat well!"

"It will be just a matter of days, Madam, just wait and see——"

Hearing this, Qi Yu smiled again and pointed his finger in the direction of the depths of the underworld. Nuwa looked there and saw that the reincarnation foundation, which had been protected by the original power of the earth all day long, was now showing its full appearance to the world!
At the same time, there was a person standing on the foundation of reincarnation. Nuwa was very familiar with that person, and it was Hou Tu.

At this moment, Hou Tu raised her head to the sky and suddenly made an extremely solemn announcement:

"I am Hou Tu, the Taoist Mother of the Netherworld. I am the authentic descendant of Emperor Pan, the direct descendant of Emperor Di, and the original god of the prehistoric Netherworld!"

"Now I see that the world is in ruins due to the war between the witches and the lich, the ghosts in the world have nowhere to go, and the lives of the underworld are suffering. I wish to complete the cycle of reincarnation with this body, and from now on, I will save all the wronged souls in the sea of ​​blood, so that the dead will have a place to go, and thus fulfill the human way and the people!"

"Six Paths of Reincarnation, stand!"
