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

Chapter 251 Pardon the ghosts and gods, the underworld will rise!
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it’s already three thousand years later.

In terms of scale, the underworld today is somewhat larger than the heaven, plus the ghosts in the underworld and the various races of creatures have different levels of cultivation.

Even after Xing Tian and others left the Fengdu Ghost Palace, they immediately mobilized their clansmen and the gods in heaven to summon the living beings scattered throughout the underworld.

It still took more than three thousand years to call all the people in the underworld to the front of the Fengdu Ghost Palace.

At this time, Yang Xuan walked out of the Fengdu Ghost Palace and came in front of all the living creatures.

After Xing Tian and others left, he went to the underground reincarnation place to ask Hou Tu about the Nine Netherworld Locking Immortal Array.

This matter can improve the underworld and is beneficial to the netherworld, so Hou Tu naturally has no reason to object.

The result was not surprising at all. Almost as soon as Yang Xuan said it, Hou Tu nodded in agreement and let him go ahead and do it.

And told him that in the future, as long as it was beneficial to the underworld and the netherworld, he would not need to ask for instructions again and could just make the decision himself.

This sentence is extremely valuable. If rounded off, it is equivalent to telling Yang Xuan that the treatment you receive in heaven is the same treatment you will receive in the underworld!
From now on, you can have the final say on all matters big or small in the underworld as long as you are willing!
Of course, the premise is that the interests of the underworld and the underworld cannot be harmed. As long as this is met, Yang Xuan can do whatever he wants.

Naturally, Yang Xuan had no reason to refuse such a benefit that came right to his doorstep.

Again, his current level of cultivation and status are completely different from when he first ascended to heaven. He doesn't need to worry about being unworthy of his position and thus facing disaster.

The higher he stands now, the more beneficial it will be for his future plans.

After getting Hou Tu's consent, he made certain changes to the subsequent pardons and enfeoffments of ghosts and gods.

Hou Tu has said so, if he doesn’t take control of the underworld in his own hands, he would be a waste!
Yang Xuan collected his thoughts and glanced at the living beings below.

Among these creatures, there are disciples of the Jiejiao, immortal gods in heaven, and members of the dragon clan, but the largest number are still ghosts and spirits, and creatures of various tribes in the prehistoric times.

They had different identities and positions, and the looks they gave Yang Xuan were also different. Some looked fanatical, some seemed respectful, but more had no expression on their faces and did not make any statement.

Yang Xuan didn't care about the attitudes of these people. As long as they could act according to the rules of the underworld and maintain the operation of the underworld, it would be enough.

He glanced at these people and then retracted his gaze, saying in a deep voice:
"Where is Sheng Sanqi?"

"The little god is here!"

Sheng Sanqi still looked the same as before, with a small mustache. He walked out of the crowd and bowed respectfully to Yang Xuan.

"How's the task I asked you to do going?"

"Reporting to the Emperor, the matter has been settled."

As he spoke, Sheng Sanqi took out a jade book from his sleeve, used his magical power to hold it in front of Yang Xuan, and said respectfully:

"In compliance with the Emperor's decree, I, together with the other gods of the Siming Temple, will register all the living beings and ghosts who wish to join the underworld, as well as all the living beings who participate in the construction of the underworld. Please review them, Emperor!"

Since ascending to heaven, Sheng Sanqi has been responsible for recruiting immortals and gods in heaven.

When arranging Sheng Sanqi to go to the Netherworld to build the underworld, Yang Xuan asked him to be responsible for recording the contributions of the immortals and gods in heaven and other creatures in the prehistoric world to the construction of the underworld.

After the underworld was built, Yang Xuan asked him to prepare to recruit ghosts and gods from the underworld.

The jade book presented by Sheng Sanqi was the result of his work over the years.

This jade book records in detail the contributions of all living beings to the construction of the underworld, as well as investigations and speculations on their backgrounds and strengths.

For those creatures who are interested in joining the underworld, their detailed information is recorded, and notes are made on what positions these creatures are suitable for.

As the saying goes, trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people if you don't trust them. Sheng Sanqi was one of Yang Xuan's most trusted confidants, and he had no doubts about the contents of the jade book.

His spiritual consciousness penetrated into the jade book, and in just a moment, he memorized all the contents in his mind.

Since Sheng Sanqi didn't know the composition of the underworld, the job suggestions he gave still had some shortcomings, but they also saved Yang Xuan a lot of time.

After sorting out the information in his mind, Yang Xuan made a decision. He nodded at Sheng Sanqi and gave his affirmation:

"Well done, it should be credited!"

Afterwards, Yang Xuan mobilized the authority of the Central Ghost Emperor, and a set of pitch-black Ghost Emperor robes appeared on his body.

Pure and deadly aura permeated around him, hiding his true appearance under the black mist. Only his two scarlet eyes could be vaguely seen, making him look eerie and strange, and people dared not look directly at him.

He swept his eyes over the creatures below and said in a deep voice:
"I am the Central Ghost Emperor. I summoned you all here today to pardon the ghosts and gods of the underworld. If you have no intention of joining the underworld, please leave the underworld as soon as possible!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the living beings present changed slightly.

Before they came here, they either heard from the gods in heaven and the dragon clan, or guessed it themselves, that Yang Xuan might be preparing to pardon the ghosts and gods in the underworld.

When Hou Tu pardoned and conferred the title of Central Ghost Emperor on Yang Xuan, the news spread throughout the prehistoric world. They all knew that Yang Xuan also had the power to pardon and confer the title of Ghost Emperor in the underworld.

Now that Yang Xuan has gathered everyone together, the most likely reason is for this matter.

But they didn't expect Yang Xuan's attitude to be so tough. His words were clearly telling everyone:

Either join the underworld, become a member of the underworld, and work for the underworld.

Either you follow the rules of the land, the living are not allowed to enter the netherworld without permission, leave the netherworld as soon as possible and don't come back, if you violate them, you will be punished for violating the rules of the land!

Although most of the merits of building the underworld have been obtained by humans, the underworld has not yet been completed. As long as you stay in the underworld, you can gain some merits more or less.

Merit is the rarest spiritual thing in the prehistoric world. It is no exaggeration to say that it is something you can only encounter but not seek. Even if there is only a little merit, they are unwilling to give it up.

How could they be willing to leave the underworld now?

For some casual cultivators and ghosts, joining the underworld and becoming ghosts of the underworld would be what they long for, as long as they fulfill their duties as gods, they would gain stable merits.

However, for members of some major forces and races, whether or not to join the underworld is not up to them.

If the elders in the clan have no objection, or if they have a good status or background in the clan, it would not be a big deal if they join the underworld on their own initiative.

But if you don't have it, you can be considered a traitor! Among the creatures who were able to learn about the construction of the underworld and successfully cross the sea of ​​blood to enter the underworld, only a small part of them were independent cultivators, and the rest were creatures with backgrounds.

For a moment, all the living beings present were in a state of confusion.

If you stay, you can gain merit, but you may also become enemies with your original race or forces.

If you leave, it may not be easy to join the underworld again.

As for ignoring Yang Xuan's orders and continuing to stay in the Netherworld to plan the merit of building the underworld, they had never even thought about it.

The moment Yang Xuan finished speaking, Xing Tian and other members of the Wu Clan all released their aura without reservation.

Crimson blood rose from their bodies, dispersing the deadly energy around them. They stood around the Fengdu Ghost Palace like gods and demons, faintly surrounding all living beings.

Bixiao, West Sea Dragon King and other righteous gods affiliated with the Heavenly Court also flew into the sky to cheer for Yang Xuan at this time.

Even the dark moon shone brightly at this time, casting its cold moonlight to illuminate the underworld.

Let me ask you one question: in this situation, who would dare to disobey Yang Xuan's orders?
Yang Xuan looked at the people below with conflicted expressions and a faint smile appeared on his face. Even without the jade book that made Sanqi angry, he could guess that these people would be conflicted because of their own positions.

The reason why he took such a tough attitude was to make these people feel conflicted.

Only in this way can we recruit enough ghosts and gods from the underworld in the shortest time.

Even though the Underworld came into being dozens or even hundreds of eons earlier because of Yang Xuan, it was still more than ten eons later than the rise of Heaven.

In addition, Yang Xuan is going to Zixiao Palace next. There is no concept of time in the chaos. He doesn’t know how many years it will take to come back. He must take advantage of now and get the underworld back on track as much as possible.

If Yang Xuan's attitude was not so tough, these creatures would either plan to think about it again or go back to ask the elders of the tribe, and something unexpected would inevitably happen.

Yang Xuan's purpose was to make them make a decision right here and now.

As for the question of whether these creatures would defect after joining the underworld, Yang Xuan had no worries at all.

To become a ghost or god in the underworld, one must strictly abide by the rules of the underworld. If one dares to defect, he or she can go to the eighteen levels of hell to enjoy happiness.

However, if you want them to make a decision, a big stick is not enough, you also need sweet talk!

"Are you worried that joining the underworld will displease the elders in your clan and lead to punishment?"

Yang Xuan paused for a moment and glanced at the people below.

"If that's the case, you can rest assured. Once you enter my underworld, as long as you follow the rules and regulations and perform your duties as a god, you will be blessed by the underworld."

"Although the underworld is not a big force, there are many Daluo, and there is also a queen in charge."

“If there is anyone who innocently seeks trouble with the ghosts and gods of the underworld, even if the person is a quasi-saint, the underworld will not be afraid at all, and will not sit idly by!”

Yang Xuan's expression was indifferent and his tone was calm. If someone else said it somewhere else, it would not be convincing at all.

But the person who spoke was Yang Xuan, the one who made the Heavenly Court prosperous, built the Underworld, established the underground rules, and built the Heaven and Earth Bank, and who sought merit for the immortals and gods in Heaven and the ghosts and gods in the Underworld.

In addition, there were the great witches of the Wu clan who stood like gods and demons around the Fengdu Ghost Palace, and the many Daluo who stood behind Yang Xuan. They had no choice but to believe what Yang Xuan said.

Logically speaking, with the current lineup of the underworld, an ordinary Daluo would never come back, and as for a quasi-saint, it would be even more impossible for it to come to the underworld to cause trouble.

The reason is very simple. If a quasi-saint attacks the underworld, it would be considered as bullying the weak, and Houtu will not tolerate it!

After figuring this out, all the living beings present began to waver.

By joining the underworld, one can obtain authentic merits, which is a treatment unique to the underworld and heaven.

There are signs that the Heavenly Palace is now thriving, and there are many immortals and gods in the Heavenly Palace. It is conceivable how difficult it is to join the Heavenly Palace and get a good job.

The underworld has just started granting amnesty today, so it is easier to join. If they join now, they will be considered veterans and will definitely be able to get better jobs.

After a moment, all the living beings present made a decision.

If Yang Xuan hadn't said these words, it is estimated that more than half of the creatures would have left.

But now, Yang Xuan first gave a stick and then gave a sweet date that was hard to refuse. In the end, only about 10% of the creatures chose to leave, and more than 40% of the creatures stayed.

There were quite a few creatures who came to the Netherworld to build the underworld, and more than 40% of them stayed, which is a huge number.

In addition to the aquatic creatures brought by the dragon clan to comb the veins of the Wangchuan River, and after the establishment of the Earth Rules and the construction of the Dide Bank, many creatures and ghosts took the initiative to come to the underworld.

Now, there are more than one billion living beings left outside the Fengdu Ghost Palace. If all these living beings are recruited into the underworld, the number of ghosts and gods in the underworld will be comparable to that in heaven, which is enough to maintain the normal operation of the underworld.

However, Yang Xuan did not intend to do so. He did intend to get the underworld back on track as much as possible before going to Zixiao Palace, but he could not accept everyone.

Whether recruiting immortals and gods from heaven or ghosts and gods from the underworld, Yang Xuan has one principle, that is, those with bad conduct will not be accepted!
If a person is merely burdened with karma but has good character and has not intentionally committed the karma, Yang Xuan may also agree to the person joining the underworld.

But if you have bad behavior, even if you have no karma, don’t even think about joining the underworld. This is Yang Xuan’s principle!

According to the records in the jade book of Sheng Sanqi, even if all the ghosts, aquatic creatures and other creatures in the prehistoric world are added together, only about 60% to 70% meet the requirements.

"That's enough!"

Yang Xuan waited for a moment, and when no one left, he put away the jade book presented by Sheng Sanqi, and took out a black jade book from his sleeve.

This jade book contains an extremely strong earthly power that makes everyone who sees it feel respect.

This jade book was the Netherworld Jade Book that was used to carry the pardons of the gods of the underworld when the underworld was first established. It was more advanced than the Nine Heavens Immortal Book and was a precious spiritual object equivalent to the Queen Mother's Golden Book.

If one wants to pardon the ghosts and gods in the underworld, one must either announce it in the underworld like Hou Tu did, or hold the Jade Book of the Underworld and exercise the corresponding authority of the underworld.

Looking at the entire prehistoric world, the only person who can do this is Yang Xuan!
There were hundreds of millions of ghosts and gods that needed to be pardoned next, so Yang Xuan did not delay any longer and immediately released the Netherworld Jade Book and said in a deep voice:
"Zhao Si, Liu Han, Zhang Mazi...Xie Bian, come forward and listen!"
