People in Conferred Gods: Rising from humble beginnings, I am the God of Wealth

Chapter 241 The Emperor talks about the dark moon, and the moon enters the underworld!
The place of underground reincarnation.

Hou Tu raised her jade hand and pulled Yang Xuan over from above the underworld. She smiled and said:

"What do you want to say, young friend? You can tell me now."

A look of curiosity emerged on her face, and she really wanted to know what was going on with Yang Xuan.

After all, Yang Xuan had just established the underground rules and built the Underworld Bank, gaining a huge amount of merit. It was hard to imagine that this was not the entire purpose of his coming to the underworld this time.

Yang Xuan naturally would not beat around the bush in front of the saint, and spoke directly to the point.

"Your Highness, the last time I came to the Netherworld, I found it to be dark and dim. For most creatures, such an environment is not suitable for survival. This is a major flaw of the Netherworld."

"In order to solve this defect and make the Netherworld more perfect, I have been searching for a solution over the years."

"Once upon a chance, I saw a ghost wandering in the wild land, unable to enter the netherworld, relying on the moonlight to maintain its form and practice enlightenment."

“I was thinking, what if I could let the moonlight of the lunar star shine on the Netherworld and become a dark moon in the Netherworld?”

"Not only can it solve the problem of darkness in the Netherworld, but it can also nourish the deadly aura of the Netherworld. It is really a strategy that kills two birds with one stone."

"For this reason, I found the Lord of the Moon, Twelve Moon, and explained the matter to her..."

Having said that, Yang Xuan's tone paused slightly, and he looked up at Hou Tu.

Hou Tu's expression was complicated, with hesitation and displeasure. It was obvious that even a saint could not let go of the hatred between the wizards and liches.

After all, during the Lich and Wizard Calamity, eighty to ninety percent of the creatures in the two tribes died, and only one in ten of the two tribes' Daluo and Quasi-Saints survived. Even if they survived, they were covered in wounds.

Even the other eleven ancestors of the witch clan all died, and like the true spirits of Di Jun and others, they were blocked in the long river of fate.

Although Hou Tu was a saint, for some reason she could only watch the witch-lich calamity unfold. Only after it was over did she take action to protect a group of witch clan members.

No matter what the reason was, Hou Tu definitely did not have a good impression of the demon race.

From Hou Tu's own perspective, she did not quite agree with letting December exercise authority and letting the Moon shine on the underworld.

Anyone who has some knowledge of the Lich Tribulation knows this, and Yang Xuan is even more so. He knew about this before he went to the Lunar Star.

The reason why Yang Xuan did not bring up the theory of the dark moon when he first saw December was, on the one hand, because he was worried that if he said it too early, he would not get much merit, and on the other hand, he was not very sure.

The hatred between the wizards and liches is there. Yang Xuan has never even seen the wizards and Hou Tu. How can he guarantee that he can accomplish this?
It was not until the last time he came to the Netherworld and got to know Hou Tu that Yang Xuan became somewhat confident.

If the authentic saint who is in charge of reincarnation now is not Hou Tu, but the other eleven ancestor witches, Yang Xuan would not even think about this matter anymore.

Judging from the personalities of Gonggong's witch clan, Yang Xuan dared to say that he would let December, the demon princess, hang the Moon above the underworld. Wasn't that courting death?

But Hou Tu is different. She cares about all living beings in the ancient world. As long as it is beneficial to the underworld, helpful to all living beings in the ancient world, and does not harm the interests of the Wu clan, Hou Tu may agree.

It was precisely for this reason that Yang Xuan had the idea of ​​continuing to plan for Mingyue. As for the excuse, he had already thought of it.

Yang Xuan paused for a moment and continued:
"My Lady, although December is a princess of the demon race, she has been staying in Taiyin Star for many years during the witch-demon calamity. She has never done anything to harm the witch race, and she has never done anything as reckless as the Golden Crow."

"Even in the final stage of the witch-lich calamity, she was forced to leave Taiyin Star and fight with other demons in the Great Array of the Heavenly Stars due to pressure from Emperor Jun."

"After the Lich Calamity ended, December never left Taiyin Star again. For billions of years, it maintained the operation of Taiyin Star, shining on the prehistoric land, benefiting countless lives, and giving countless ghosts in the prehistoric land a glimmer of hope."

“I feel that although December is a princess of the demon race, on the Taiyin Star, she is the Taiyin Star Lord recognized by heaven and earth, and the Taiyin Emperor of Heaven!”

Having said this, Yang Xuan stopped talking. He explained the pros and cons of the matter and the solution either directly or indirectly.

I think Hou Tu could understand what he meant. As for how to make the decision, that was up to Hou Tu.

The implication of Yang Xuan's words was not difficult to understand. Hou Tu could naturally hear it, and it was precisely because she understood Yang Xuan's meaning that she fell into hesitation.

After hearing Yang Xuan say that the underworld was dark and needed a dark moon hanging high in the sky to make the underworld more perfect, Hou Tu knew that this method was feasible.

If this is accomplished, it will be beneficial to the underworld, the creatures in the underworld, and even the witch clan.

In fact, the underworld today is not suitable for any other creatures to survive except ghosts. If it were not for the strong physique of the witch clan, they would not have been able to live in the underworld for so many years.

But it is just a way to survive. Apart from a few creatures in the ancient times, who would be willing to live in an environment without light all year round?
Anything that is beneficial to the netherworld will hopefully earn you authentic merit, not to mention perfecting the netherworld.

Once this matter is accomplished, Yang Xuan, as the planner, can gain a lot of merit, and Hou Tu, as the assister, can also gain merit.

But the month with the greatest harvest is naturally December.

From the perspective of the ancestor of the witch clan, how could Hou Tu be willing to see December, the demon princess, gain so many merits?
This made Hou Tu hesitant. If she agreed to this, December, the demon princess, would profit, share the power of the underworld, and increase the prestige of the demon clan.

If you oppose this, the Netherworld will lose the chance to be perfect, and all the creatures in the Netherworld will continue to live in darkness and lightlessness.

After much thought, Hou Tu found that if she wanted to make the underworld perfect while preventing the demons from profiting, there were only three ways to go.

First, kill December and find a new master of the Moon.

For Hou Tu, it only takes a thought to kill December without anyone noticing. Even December himself does not realize that his true spirit has returned to the river of destiny.

However, it is basically impossible to find a living being to replace the identity of the Lord of the December Moon.

December is recognized by the heaven and earth. Unless December does something harmful to the heaven and earth and is burdened with boundless karma, even if she dies, the position of the Lord of Taiyin Star will still be hers, and no one can take it away.

Secondly, using his great supernatural powers and magical powers, he created a dark moon and hung it in the sky above the underworld, illuminating every corner of the underworld.

In the future, with Tu's level of Taoism, it will not be a problem for him to mold a star, and he can also illuminate the underworld.

But artificial stars are acquired things, how can they be compared with the moon? They can only illuminate the netherworld, and there is no other merit.

Although it can make the underworld no longer dark and lightless, and make the underworld more perfect, it cannot be compared with the Moon.

This method is feasible, but it can only be used as an alternative plan and is a last resort.

The third is the method mentioned by Yang Xuan.

The reason why Hou Tu rejected December from doing this was simply because December was a princess of the demon clan, and the demon clan was the mortal enemy of the witch clan. Even if December had never taken the initiative to do anything to harm the witch clan, she was still a member of the demon clan, and the only remaining princess of the demon clan. This was an indisputable fact and an unchangeable fact.

However, December is not only a princess of the demon clan, but also the lord of the Taiyin star and the Taiyin Emperor of Heaven.

The solution proposed by Yang Xuan was to let December complete the matter of Mingyue in the capacity of Taiyin Star Lord or Taiyin Emperor.

To be honest, this method can be said to be quite far-fetched, even a bit self-deceptive. Even if December agrees to do it as the Lord of Taiyin Star, would she no longer be the princess of the demon clan?
If Yang Xuan said this to Xing Tian and other great witches of the witch clan, or the leaders of other forces in the prehistoric world, he would definitely end in failure.

If they are not careful, they might get beaten up and be mistakenly thought to be being played for fools.

But this seemingly far-fetched method is quite suitable for Hou Tu.

Like December, Hou Tu also has two different identities. She is both the ancestor of the witch clan and the authentic saint Niangniang Pingxin.

For the sake of all living beings in the prehistoric world, she voluntarily transformed herself into a reincarnation, which shows how much she values ​​the prehistoric world.

Now that she knew that the Dark Moon shining on the Netherworld could make the Netherworld more perfect and allow all creatures in the Netherworld to live better, she naturally didn't want to miss it.

For the sake of all living beings in the underworld, even though she knew that December could benefit from this matter, she was still moved and had the idea of ​​nodding in agreement.

And Yang Xuan's words were equivalent to giving her a way out.

The demon princess can’t be in December, but if it’s the Lord of the Moon or the Emperor of the Moon in December, then there’s no problem!
Hou Tu's eyes flickered, and her thoughts raced as she deduced the impact of this incident.

After a long silence, Hou Tu finally made a decision. It was not impossible to let the Lord of the Moon do this, but it was not okay to let December enter and leave the underworld at will!
Hou Tu raised her eyes to look at Yang Xuan and said in a deep voice:
"I know that you did this for the sake of the Netherworld and all living beings in the Netherworld."

"But this matter is of great importance. The Moon is high in the sky. Once it enters the netherworld, the secrets of the underworld and even the entire netherworld may fall into December's eyes."

"December has a special status, so we must be on guard against this. If we want Taiyin Star Lord December to accomplish such merit, I have one more condition!"

"My lady, please wait a moment..."

As he spoke, Yang Xuan took out the jade talisman that December had given him and bowed to Hou Tu.

"This matter concerns the future of the Netherworld. This will be an unprecedented change. Why don't you call the Taiyin Star Lord here so that Your Majesty can talk about this matter in detail?"

"Can!"

Hou Tu did not refuse this matter. Since she had planned to agree to this matter, she would have to meet December sooner or later. It would be better to let December come over and talk everything out.

After seeing Hou Tu nod in agreement, Yang Xuan immediately activated the jade talisman in his hand and told December to come to the underworld to discuss the matter of Mingyue with Hou Tu.

The Moon is in Guanghan Palace.

After hearing Yang Xuan's message, December was slightly stunned. He did not expect Yang Xuan to act so quickly. He had just established the local rules and built the Dide Bank, but he had already implemented the matter of Mingyue.

Originally, she thought that Yang Xuan, now the central ghost emperor of the underworld with unparalleled power, would focus his main energy on rectifying the underworld.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xuan put the matter of Mingyue first.

This surprised December, but also made her somewhat grateful.

"No matter whether this can be accomplished or not, I cannot miss out on the Emperor's benefits!"

December nodded secretly, not daring to keep the saint waiting for long.

As her thoughts turned, the Moon appeared from the sky above the ancient world and cast a ray of moonlight towards the sea of ​​blood.

In the past, because the blood sea was filled with too much blood, even the moonlight from the Yin star would be dispersed by the blood and could not fall directly into the blood sea on the moonlight.

This is also the reason why December only sent Yang Xuan to the edge of the sea of ​​blood.

But this time, when the moonlight from the Yin star shone on the sea of ​​blood, the sea of ​​blood suddenly became unusually calm. The blood waves no longer surged, and the blood stains were hidden in the blood water, no longer rushing up to the sky.

And there is an almighty power that guides this ray of moonlight towards the gate of hell, illuminating the underworld, and finally arriving at the place of reincarnation in the center of the underworld.

When December saw this, he knew that it was Hou Tu who took action, and his heart beat faster.

Hou Tu is willing to help guide the ghost, which proves that she is not too opposed to the matter of Mingyue. At least this matter can be discussed, it is just a matter of how much it costs.

For the sake of its own path, December will try its best to fight for it no matter what the cost.

Without any hesitation, December took a step forward and walked down in the moonlight.

In a blink of an eye, he had arrived at the reincarnation tunnel and appeared beside Yang Xuan.

Just like last time, December was still wearing a plain white gauze dress, with a seven-star golden sword hanging from her waist, and her feet were naked, standing in the air.

"I've met my empress!"

December first bowed to Hou Tuying, then nodded slightly to Yang Xuan and gave him a look of gratitude.

"Young friend Yang Xuan has explained the matter of the Dark Moon to me clearly. This matter is beneficial to the Netherworld and is also your opportunity. It is your chance to prove your truth."

Hou Tu had no intention of exchanging pleasantries. When she saw December approaching, she got straight to the point.

"This matter concerns the future structure of the Netherworld. It is of great importance. If you want to accomplish this, I have two more conditions."

"Mother, please tell me!"

December nodded, looking as if he was listening.

There were only two conditions, which was much fewer than she expected. But it was precisely because Hou Tu's conditions were fewer than she expected that she became more worried.

Generally speaking, if there are fewer conditions, these two conditions will be more stringent.

She could only pray that Hou Tu would be more considerate of the Netherworld and all living beings in the prehistoric world, put aside some of her prejudices against the demon race, and not set conditions that she could not fulfill...
