Man in the wilderness, Shui Yuan becomes a saint

Chapter 218: Hou Tu's Awakening and Emperor Di's Will
Let’s go back ten years.

Since getting Houtu's tacit consent, Emperor Xuanming and Houtu have been traveling together in the sea of ​​blood. Along the way, Houtu witnessed the floating and sinking of souls in the sea of ​​blood. Many of them had died in vain in the war between the wizard and the lich, and were now struggling hard in the sea of ​​blood, looking miserable.

Upon seeing this, the Netherworld Taoist Mother, who had inherited the teachings from the Earth Emperor Yue Jian, suddenly began to feel guilty. At the same time, she felt a little pity for these wandering souls, lamenting that life was fragile and that people in the world were miserable. It was nothing more than this.

This kind of pity gradually became stronger as Hou Tu saw more and more. Finally, when she witnessed a large number of wandering souls completely perishing in the sea of ​​blood, this emotion reached its peak!
Even though the concept of reincarnation already existed in ancient times, Yue Jian even opened up the earth and the foundation of reincarnation in ancient times.

But in fact, the complete law of reincarnation has never been born, making reincarnation extremely difficult - at the beginning of reincarnation, Yue Jian was the only one in the world who could help the souls to "reincarnate", and the cost was huge. There were almost no successful cases, and it was just a face-saving project.

Things did not take a turn for the better until Yue Jian passed away due to the calamity of achieving enlightenment. The foundation of reincarnation was improved to a certain extent, making it truly possible to reincarnate. Qi Yu himself was the first practitioner and successful person to do so.

However, the good times did not last long. Not long after, Panman, a creature created from Pangu's evil thoughts, broke into the earth and tried to devour the Dao Fruit of the Emperor of Earth, so as to perfect his own Dao and achieve Hunyuan.

With the joint efforts of Jiu Tou, the Human Emperor who had not yet ascended the throne at that time, and the gods of the Earth Realm, such a move naturally failed. Pan Man, who was already injured due to interfering with the Earth Emperor's enlightenment, was severely damaged and retreated completely. However, the foundation of the Earth Realm's reincarnation was completely blocked due to the changes brought about by Pan Man, and it lost most of its functions and completely turned into an attractive decoration.

As a disciple of Emperor Di Yue Jian and the successor of Emperor Di's will, Hou Tu would of course blame herself for witnessing all this. As a result, she gradually came to her senses and suddenly realized her original intention -

Of course, she and the other eleven ancestor witches are brothers and sisters, all of whom were conceived from the twelve drops of heart essence and blood left over from the creation of the world by the great god Pangu, and were born together in the Witch God Temple. But this is only her origin, and it is by no means all of Hou Tu!

The real Hou Tu is the one who studied in the Dihuang Palace during the ancient times, achieved Luotian under the guidance of Yue Jian, and finally became the Taoist Mother of the Netherworld. She is the lord of the earth and the righteous god of the ancient times. It should be her responsibility to perfect the cycle of reincarnation and benefit all living things in heaven and earth, instead of limiting her sights to the small orthodoxy of the earth and the dispute between wizards and liches!

In this way, the enlightened Hou Tu began to embark on her own path. She first began to try to save the wandering souls in the sea of ​​blood - although this was not Hou Tu's expertise, there was a similar inheritance in the Earth Emperor Palace. In addition, Emperor Xuanming was in charge of the authority to guide the black water, and his help along the way also helped a lot.

As a result, her career gradually got on the right track, and the results of Hou Tu's work in saving all souls were very gratifying, which gave her a great sense of accomplishment.

But after "traveling" for seven years, Hou Tu gradually realized a new problem - the sea of ​​blood was too vast. Even though she was a quasi-saint, innately sacred, and had an infinite lifespan, it was extremely difficult to travel all over the sea of ​​blood.

More importantly, in the ancient times, the death of living beings was happening all the time, especially now that we have gradually entered the acquired era. Living beings are no longer like they were in the ancient times, when their lifespans were often long or even endless. Instead, they have limits.

Among them, except for a very small number who had extraordinary cultivation during their lifetime and could continue to wander the earth as living souls or enter the underworld to become ghosts and gods, the rest did not have that kind of cultivation.

Therefore, if these people died, they would be summoned by the sea of ​​blood after a period of time and sink into it. If they could not be redeemed, they would be completely dissolved and return to the world in an absolutely "clean" manner, obliterating the past and having no future. She was alone, and even if she was accompanied by Emperor Xuanming, it was impossible for her to save the entire sea of ​​blood at the same time - perhaps a saint had such great power, but a quasi-saint Tianzun could not.

Finally, Hou Tu thought of the foundation of reincarnation under the indirect suggestion of Emperor Xuanming, and after a period of contemplation, she finally realized her own destiny and understood the mystery, and the current scene appeared -

"Six Paths of Reincarnation, stand!"

As soon as Hou Tu finished speaking, a huge force of Xuanhuang merit began to take shape in the sky above the underworld. In an instant, the Xuanhuang merit was like thunder across the sky, piercing the void and falling on Hou Tu. At the same time, Hou Tu's true body as the witch god collapsed in an instant, slowly turning into a huge vortex.

The vortex was integrated into the foundation of the reincarnation of the earth, and became an incomparable benefit - the Mother of the Underworld died for her own sake with the fruit of the Heavenly Dao. The vision was undoubtedly astonishing. At this moment, the earth was raining blood, and ghosts were crying and gods were howling. It was the origin of the earth that was injured by the death of the Lord of the Underworld. Even the Black Water Abyss controlled by Qi Yu was affected, and endless visions broke out!

"That's... Hou Tu! What is she going to do? Martyr herself? Is this a repetition of reincarnation?!"

If we were to say who was the most surprised at this moment, it would certainly be Nuwa, who had been fighting with Houtu for almost her entire life. As a direct descendant of the Emperor of Earth, she naturally knew best at this moment what the consequences of Houtu's actions would be - if no external forces intervened, she would probably be killed and her body would be destroyed!
However, the foundation of reincarnation is in the earth realm, and its essence is the foundation for the enlightenment of Yue Jian, the Emperor of Earth in the past. Under the blessing of Heaven, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a thing of the Hunyuan level!
Under such circumstances, who has the ability to interfere with the occurrence of all this as an external force? Is it the Hunyuan Sage who has never really appeared in the prehistoric world? Or is it the Way of Heaven?

For a moment, Nuwa was in a complicated mood. At this moment, she also heard the determination and belief in Hou Tu's words - her little junior sister who had fought all her life was now risking her life to carry out the will of the Emperor of Earth, the last will of Yue Jian, whom they regarded as a father!

How could Nuwa, who claimed to be the eldest sister, not be shocked and confused when her junior sister accomplished something that she herself had never done?
……

Nuwa's shock was already within Qi Yu's expectations, so there was no need to explain it further. However, at this moment, the faces of the eleven ancestor witches in the Witch God Temple and Emperor Jun in the Miluo Palace in Heaven changed at the same time.

The eleven ancient witches were naturally filled with shock, sadness, anger, pain and regret, but Emperor Jun's face had only an expression of ecstasy at this moment!

Immediately, the current Emperor of Heaven waved his sleeves and issued his own decree -

"Call the troops, exterminate the Wu Sect, and protect the orthodoxy of the Heavenly Dao!"

"Army attack!!"
