Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 178: Hou Tu comes out of retreat, shocking the world

P.S. Today is the first day of the Year of the Snake. I wish all my fellow Taoists a prosperous Year of the Snake. In the Year of the Snake, may you find money wherever you go, win every lottery ticket, and see your stocks soar. May beautiful women become more beautiful, and handsome men become more handsome.

……

Hearing what Nuwa said, Fuxi couldn't help but frown. He immediately asked Nuwa, "What does this have to do with Senior Sister Hou Tu?"

"Could it be that Senior Sister Hou Tu has a way to help humanity solve this problem? So that humanity will no longer be overly dependent on the Way of Heaven?"

At this moment, the expression on Fuxi's face was more or less a little bit unbelievable. But Nuwa nodded at him.

"Brother, just focus on teaching the human cultivators. The Heavenly Dao's attempt to control the human race will ultimately be in vain."

"What we should really worry about is the upcoming decisive battle between the witches and the liches. Master said that it will be a battle that is no less powerful than the first catastrophe of the Dragon Han Dynasty."

"By then, even if the human race doesn't want to get involved in this war, it will be implicated by the war between the two races."

"Even among our human race, only one in ten will survive this catastrophe."

Fuxi knew that a fire in the city gates would bring disaster to the fish in the pond. However, the human race today only cares about being clever and unwilling to devote themselves to hard work.

He was the deputy leader of the sect, and he couldn't force others to practice the martial arts that were most suitable for the human race. So he could only worry and do nothing.

……

One day, the voice of Hou Tu was heard from the Six Paths of Reincarnation. She ordered Meng Po to immediately close the Six Paths of Reincarnation and keep all souls that needed reincarnation away from the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Meng Po did not hesitate and began to carry out Hou Tu's orders, taking away all the souls ready for reincarnation.

Until there was no soul left before the Six Paths of Reincarnation, a huge fluctuation of the power of reincarnation appeared in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Instantly, the entire Nine Netherworld began to tremble violently, and the Netherworld Sea of Blood was even more turbulent.

This inevitably made Di Jiang stand up immediately and said, "Sister Hou Tu has succeeded, and it is time for us to protect her."

After hearing this, the other Ancestral Witches stood up at the same time and revealed their true forms, standing at the entrance to the Nine Netherworld.

Even the old man from the Netherworld Sea of Blood, the Styx, came riding the waves at this moment. The Yuan Tu and Abi swords, capable of killing without any consequences, were unsheathed.

At this time, the ancestor of the Styx came to guard the gate of the underworld. Even if Hongjun saw it, he would not think that there was anything wrong with the ancestor of the Styx doing this.

After all, this was Chen Xuan's punishment for the Styx Patriarch, and it was also recognized by Hongjun. Therefore, the Styx Patriarch's appearance at the Nether Gate at this time was absolutely appropriate.

The ancient witches such as Dijiang were naturally well aware of this, so they did not care about the ancestor of the Styx who was standing aside.

As for why they are not worried that the Patriarch of the Styx will suddenly turn against them, the reason is that they do not think that the Patriarch of the Styx has the courage to do so.

The Nine Netherworld, along with the Netherworld Sea of Blood, trembled for three days and three nights before slowly returning to calm.

At the same time, in the six paths of reincarnation, the power of reincarnation appeared, carrying Hou Tu and appearing directly above the sky.

At this moment, Hou Tu had six shadows of reincarnation appearing behind her. In her left hand, she held the Book of Life and Death, and in her right, she held the Spring and Autumn Reincarnation Pen.

The next moment, Hou Tu spoke, "I am the Lady of Peace from the Nine Netherworlds. Three thousand years ago, I discovered something strange about the Book of Life and Death and realized it was incomplete."

"After three thousand years of reincarnation and refinement, the Book of Life and Death has finally been completed today. From now on, all beings below the Quasi-Sage realm will have their lifespans controlled by the Book of Life and Death." "The Daluo Golden Immortal realm boasts a maximum lifespan of 490,000 years. This corresponds to the number of fifty in the Great Dao and forty-nine in the Heavenly Evolution."

"Performing virtuous deeds can increase your lifespan, but doing the opposite can shorten it. Once your lifespan is up, the Nine Netherworld will send ghosts to retrieve your soul."

"If anyone dares to attack or kill the Yincha ghosts and refuses to collect souls, they will be wanted by the Nine Netherworld. They will be banished to the Nine Netherworld Purgatory, where they will never be reborn."

"Anyone who reaches the Daluo Jinxian realm through trickery will not enjoy the 490,000-year lifespan. The lifespan will be calculated based on the time before they achieved Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian through trickery."

Then Hou Tu was seen throwing the Book of Life and Death and the Spring and Autumn Samsara Pen downwards, allowing them to instantly merge into the Nine Netherworld.

At the same time, all the ghosts and spirits in the Nine Netherworld knelt on the ground and saluted Hou Tu in the sky.

"I will follow the command of the Lady Pingxin."

Instantly, the entire Nine Netherworld's fortune surged. The cultivation of all the ghosts and spirits was elevated to a certain degree at this moment.

At the same time, Hou Tu's voice had spread throughout the entire prehistoric world, which inevitably caused the entire prehistoric world to be completely chaotic.

After all, no one wants to cultivate to the Golden Immortal realm and still live in fear every day, worrying that they will be taken away by the Nine Netherworld when they wake up.

After all, a lifespan of 490,000 years is so short that it is unacceptable to the people in the prehistoric world, especially to those Golden Immortals.

However, compared to the real Daluo Jinxian, those who became Daluo Jinxian by taking shortcuts are the ones who show the most anger and frustration.

After all, although true Daluo Jinxian had a lifespan limit, they also had their own ways to increase their lifespan, and they would not really only live for 490,000 years.

What they couldn't accept was why the Nine Netherworld controlled their life and death. How could they maintain their dignity?

But it’s different for the human race. They have reached the realm of Daluo Jinxian, which only means they have a lifespan of a few hundred years. So what’s the point of becoming a Daluo Jinxian?

And at this time, the human race, which was the first to become a Golden Immortal by taking advantage of the situation, also encountered the fate of being taken away by the Nine Netherworld.

And for the sake of safety, the ones who came to lure away the souls of these Golden Immortals were actually the Five Ghost Emperors of the Nine Netherworld.

These five Ghost Emperors were all great witches of the Wu Clan before, and their cultivation was comparable to that of a Golden Immortal. Now that they had entered the Nine Netherworld, they had even received the help of the Nine Netherworld's good fortune.

Although he has not yet broken through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, he can still be regarded as an invincible existence in the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

The Five Ghost Emperors personally took action and brought several humans who had achieved the Golden Immortal status by taking shortcuts to the Nine Netherworld for reincarnation.

Of course, Hou Tu's sending people to retrieve souls also had a specific meaning. Those were the names Nuwa left for Hou Tu.

All the people on the list were rewarded with merits by Heaven for creating useless things. Therefore, they have no merits for the human race, but rather have sins.

This also made the Golden Immortals who were watching from the sidelines instantly lose their composure. They all headed to the Fire Cloud Cave, the holy land of the human race, to complain to Nuwa.

They even say, under a nice pretext, that the future of humanity cannot be controlled by the Nine Netherworld.

Nuwa was naturally prepared for this. She glared at the group of Daluo Jinxians present and spoke in an emotionless voice.

"It's not that difficult to increase your lifespan. All you need to do every day is to nourish your essence, refine your energy, concentrate your spirit, harmonize the dragon and the tiger, and catch the Kan and fill the Li. That's all that's needed."
