Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

With a thought, a dark beam of light shot out from Fengdu City, landing in the sky above the Wu Clan's land and transforming into a massive bridge.

One end of the bridge connects to Zhu Rong and other members of the Wu clan, while the other end connects to a grand hall in Fengdu City.

The main hall was located in the very center of Fengdu City, right next to the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The main hall was magnificent and imposing, entirely black, with three Taoist characters engraved on the doors, exuding a terrifying aura...!

The Hall of the Gods and Demons.

Zhu Rong looked at the bridge, grinned, and strode onto it.

Dozens of Luo Dasha followed closely behind.

As the last great shaman stepped onto the bridge, the bridge slowly narrowed, bringing everyone to the front of the Yama Palace.

Huanglong stood in the center of the Senluo Palace, with the phantom of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc slowly rotating behind him, surrounded by six-colored light.

His figure appeared incredibly majestic under the light, as if he were one with the entire underworld.

Zhu Rong led dozens of high-ranking shamans into the main hall, their eyes flashing with curiosity as they looked at everything before them.

This city of Fengdu is truly magnificent.

The city wall soared into the clouds, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, with no end in sight.

Although there was only this one grand hall in the city, one could imagine how magnificent it would be if the city were filled with buildings.

The Senluo Palace before them was even more magnificent than the Heavenly Court of the demon race.

The main hall appeared even more terrifying and majestic under the light cast by the Six Paths of Reincarnation Wheel.

Xing Tian looked around and couldn't help but exclaim, "What a magnificent city!"

He was about to greet Huang Long when he was stunned by the aura emanating from Huang Long and was speechless for a moment.

Jiufeng nodded, a look of shock flashing in her eyes, "It's just a bit empty!"

Huanglong looked at Jiufeng, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "Don't worry, it won't be empty for long."

"Welcome, everyone, to Fengdu City." His voice echoed in the hall, deep and resonant.

Zhu Rong stepped forward: "Huanglong, I have brought you the people; all the great shamans are here."

Huang Long nodded, his gaze falling on the other great shamans, looking at them one by one.

Xingtian, Jiufeng, Xiangliu, Fuyou... every great shaman exudes a powerful aura and intense malevolent energy!

Huang Long nodded in satisfaction and said, "Gentlemen, we are all old acquaintances, so I won't bother with formalities."

His voice turned serious, "The Goddess Houtu, with her saintly status, manifested the Six Paths of Reincarnation, guiding countless souls through reincarnation, thus accumulating great merit for all living beings!"

"However, even though Your Majesty is a saintly being, and has maintained the underworld day and night for countless years, she is somewhat tired. Now Your Majesty has asked me to temporarily take your place, but this is not a long-term solution."

The group of ancestral witches nodded in agreement. They had already learned from Zhu Rong that Huanglong needed them to share the corresponding responsibilities in the underworld.

Huanglong paused, his gaze sweeping over the group of great shamans, and continued:

"Today I will divide and rule the power of this underworld, establish the Ten Kings of Hell, the Five Ghost Emperors, and set up the Righteousness Office, so that the millions of souls may each have their place and the cycle of reincarnation may continue without end."

"Are you all willing to take on this responsibility?"

The high priests, their expressions filled with fervor, declared, "We are willing!"

Huang Long nodded and waved his hand.

In the void of the Yama Palace, a huge black book unfolded out of thin air.

The black book was over a hundred feet long and several tens of feet wide, entirely black, and emitted a cold, eerie light.

On the black book, one by one, purple divine positions appeared, each containing corresponding authority over the underworld.

At the very top of the divine throne are the four large characters "Lord of the Underworld," swirling with purple light and exuding an overwhelming aura of power.

Below the title "Lord of the Underworld" are the four characters "Emperor of Fengdu," which also shimmer with purple light and exude an extraordinary aura.

Both of these divine positions floated above Huanglong's head, merging with him.

Huang Long explained, "I will temporarily assume the role of Lord of the Underworld until the Goddess Houtu awakens and returns to her position. I, as the Lord of the Underworld, will also temporarily act as the Emperor of Fengdu."

Huanglong originally intended to bestow the title of Emperor Fengdu upon Zhurong, but he discovered that he, as the temporary ruler of the underworld, did not seem to have the authority to do so and could only temporarily assume the role.

With a wave of his hand, the divine positions listed in the black book appeared one after another.

"The Ten Kings of Hell...!"

Ten purple divine tablets flew out of the black book and floated in the void, each tablet bearing a different title.

King Qin Guang, in the First Palace, investigates good and evil, and is in charge of the initial trial of wandering souls.

The Second King, Chujiang, resides in the Frozen Hell, responsible for punishing sinful souls.

The Three Palaces of the Song Emperor, the Black Rope Hell...!

The Four Palaces and Five Officials Kings, the Blood Pool Hell...!

The Fifth King of Hell rules over the Ten Courts of Hell...!

......

The Ten Kings of Hell are in charge of the reincarnation of souls!

His gaze fell upon the great shamans of the witch clan, and he selected ten of the strongest great shamans.

"Xingtian, you shall become the King of Hell."

"Nine Phoenixes, you shall assume the title of King of Chu River."

"Floating Journey, you will become the Emperor of Song."

"Xiangliu, you will serve as the King of the Five Observations."

"..."

The ten divine positions correspond one-to-one with the ten Great Luo Immortals of the Witch Clan.

When the last Great Luo of the Wu Clan took over the throne of the Wheel-Turning King, a strange change occurred!

Ten beams of purple light shot out from the divine throne and landed on the ten great shamans.

The light was both warm and cold, like ten bright moons, illuminating the entire Yama Palace.

The great shamans felt a mysterious power flow into their bodies, merging with their true spirits.

It is the authority of the underworld, the power of reincarnation, and the approval of Houtu.

At the same time, the empty earth within Fengdu City suddenly trembled.

Outside the Senluo Palace, along the city's central axis, ten enormous palaces rise one after another.

Each palace is magnificent and grand, with a different style; some are gloomy and terrifying, some are majestic and solemn, and some are simple and profound...!

Above the palace gates are inscribed the names of various grand halls, including Qin Guang Hall, Chu Jiang Hall, Song Emperor Hall, Wu Guan Hall, and Zhuan Lun Hall.

Inside each palace, tables, instruments of torture, cells, a platform for reincarnation... all the necessary facilities are present, as if it were always there.

Xing Tian looked at the purple light on his body and felt the power of the authority he controlled, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.

"This..." He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Huang Long looked at him earnestly and said, "Xing Tian, ​​among the Ten Kings of Hell, King Yama is the head and oversees the other nine courts. You bear a heavy responsibility!"

Xing Tian took a deep breath, bowed to Huang Long, and said, "As you command!"

The other nine Great Luo Immortals also clasped their fists and responded in unison, "As you command!"

The sound echoed throughout the hall, lingering for a long time.

After the Ten Kings of Hell were officially appointed, Huanglong looked at the other great shamans, whose eyes were filled with longing.

With a wave of his hand, four purple divine tablets reappeared on the black car.

The four judges are in charge of the Department of Rewarding Good, the Department of Punishing Evil, the Department of Investigation, and the Department of Underworld Law.

After bestowing the four divine positions upon the four great shamans.

Inside Fengdu City, outside the Yama Palace, four new palaces rose from the ground.

That's the Underworld Palace, the place where the judges work.

Inside the hall, countless bookshelves appeared out of thin air, filled with blank booklets... These were the prototypes of the Book of Life and Death, awaiting the judges to supplement and perfect them in the future.

Huanglong looked at the four judges and said, "Your duties are the foundation of the Ten Kings of Hell's judgment. You must be serious and responsible, and you cannot be careless in the slightest."

The four great shamans looked around, then bowed in unison to the yellow dragon, saying, "As you command!"

Huang Long knew that it was indeed a bit difficult for these great shamans to handle such trivial matters!

But at present, this is the most advantageous for the Wu clan, and he cannot find a more suitable candidate!

If the karmic burdens on the witch clan are completely removed in the future, these judges can be replaced at any time.
