Houtu is infatuated with me, so I made her lean against the wall.

"The creatures of the primordial world differed in their good and evil, and their personalities and methods of action varied!"

"However, good and evil will eventually be rewarded."

"I am Pangu, the patriarch of the Wu tribe. Today, I open up the Netherworld and the Six Paths of Reincarnation, leaving a glimmer of hope for all living beings in the primordial world."

"But if beings in the primordial world wish to be reincarnated through the six realms of reincarnation, they must settle all the karmic debts from their previous lives."

"Those who do good can enter the three realms above. Depending on the good deeds they performed in their previous life, they may be reborn into the realm of transformation, the human realm, or the Asura realm."

"Those who do evil not only need to be reborn into the three lower realms, but before reincarnation, they must also fall into the eighteen levels of hell. Depending on the evil deeds they committed in their previous life, they will be placed in different hells to wear down their karmic burdens!"

"The first of the eighteen levels of hell: the Hell of Tongue-Pulling!"

"Crimes: sowing discord, defamation, glibness, lying and deception."

"Punishment: The tongue is clamped with iron clamps, forcibly pulled out and stretched, causing continuous pain."

"Second Level: Scissors Hell!"

"Crimes: Instigating widows to remarry, acting as matchmakers, and instigating marital disputes."

"Punishment: having all ten fingers cut off with iron clamps, symbolizing the destruction of interpersonal relationships."

"Third Level: Iron Tree Hell!"

"Crimes: Sowing discord among family members, instigating discord between fathers and sons, brothers, and spouses."

"Punishment: The skin of the victim is pierced by a sharp blade, and the victim is hung on an iron tree covered with the blade, suffering the pain of having their skin cut off."

"Fourth Layer: The Hell of Retribution..."

"Fifth Level: Steaming Hell..."

As Houtu continued to describe the eighteen levels of hell, the Netherworld underwent earth-shattering changes. Eighteen smaller worlds were constantly being conceived and formed within the Netherworld, creating a series of gloomy and terrifying worlds of punishment.

The eighteen levels of hell floated above the primordial sky, causing all living beings in the primordial world to tremble with fear.

The appearance of the eighteen levels of hell placed a shackle on the hearts of all living beings in the primordial world.

In the past, in the primordial world, strength was paramount, and the strong could have the power of life and death over the weak, doing whatever they pleased.

But now, the existence of the eighteen levels of hell makes these people think before committing evil whether they can bear the punishment for the evil deeds they committed in life after death.

After all, no one can guarantee that they won't die.

If one has committed too many evil deeds in life, after death one will enter the eighteen levels of hell and see the horrors of those smaller worlds, and all living beings will feel terrified.

On the other hand, after evolving the eighteen levels of hell, Houtu did not stop, but instead began to construct the Netherworld again.

The Bridge of Helplessness, the Stone of Looking at the River, the Road to the Underworld, the River of Three Crossings, the Ten Kings of Hell, and so on all appear.

After doing all this, Houtu looked at the remaining wisp of the origin of reincarnation and her wisp of primordial spirit with her beautiful eyes. After thinking for a while, the laws surged rapidly, and the Primordial Measuring Ruler emitted a dazzling brilliance of dark yellow light.

Abundant merits from the Great Dao continuously flowed into the origin of reincarnation and the primordial spirit.

Gradually, nourished by the merits of the Great Dao, the original avatar of the source of reincarnation, which had opened the gate to the underworld with its own body, condensed and took shape again.

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

The awakened avatar of the origin of reincarnation bowed to Houtu.

"It's alright, we are all one."

"Without you, I would not have been able to successfully open up the Netherworld and the Six Paths of Reincarnation!"

"The Netherworld has just been established. If a living being wishes to be reincarnated, they must forget their past life. Otherwise, the primordial world will be indistinguishable between father and son, and their social status will be in chaos!"

"The Bridge of Helplessness is missing a divine position, specifically to brew the Soup of Forgetfulness for those who are to be reincarnated. Today, I appoint you as Meng Po, and the Soup of Forgetfulness will be called Meng Po Soup. Those who are to be reincarnated must drink Meng Po Soup to forget their past lives before they can be reincarnated."

As she spoke, Houtu waved her hand, and the earth's energy quickly poured into Meng Po's body, causing Meng Po's cultivation, which had fallen, to recover rapidly.

After doing all this, Houtu looked once again at the empty underworld.

After some deliberation, he used the underground passage and his great supernatural powers to summon the bull and horse tribes to the Netherworld: "From now on, you will be ghost messengers of the Netherworld, known as Ox-Head and Horse-Face!"

"Specially responsible for maintaining the operation of the underworld and apprehending the souls of living beings who arrive there!"

Upon hearing Houtu's arrangement, the chieftains of the Ox and Horse tribes were overjoyed and quickly nodded in agreement.

Upon seeing this, Houtu once again used her great magic to select the Black and White Clan, a branch of the Wu Clan, and make them the Black and White Impermanence of the Underworld, specifically responsible for summoning souls and ghosts and maintaining order in the Underworld.

Thus, the Netherworld was initially completed.

Just as Houtu was preparing to guide the earth to the world, two magical treasures suddenly broke through the air and arrived.

Houtu stretched out her tender hand.

The next moment, the two magical treasures lay quietly in Houtu's soft hands.

"The Book of Life and Death, the Judge's Pen?"

"Two spirit treasures with growth potential, not bad at all!"

As she spoke, Houtu held the Book of Life and Death and activated her magic.

In an instant, the Book of Life and Death split into countless forms, creating a Wheel of Life and Death within the Yama Palace. The names of all the cultivators in the primordial world who had not yet reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and had escaped the River of Destiny were recorded on it.

Once everything was ready, Houtu did not hesitate and proclaimed loudly, "I am Houtu, the patriarch of the Wu tribe, of the Pangu clan. Today, I will manifest the Netherworld, so that wandering souls and remnants may have a place to belong!"

"The Netherworld Cave opens! Houtu, the Lord of the Underworld, respectfully welcomes the reappearance of the Underworld!"

As Houtu finished speaking, the underground passage shook violently, breaking free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao and manifesting itself, stretching horizontally behind Houtu.

In an instant, the primordial world underwent another earth-shattering change.

The spiritual energy is increasing, the world is expanding, the origin is growing wildly, and the three thousand laws are manifesting in form.

Upon witnessing this scene, the cultivators of the Primordial World were overjoyed and immersed themselves in enlightenment.

At the same time, Houtu, who perfectly received the earth's energy, saw her cultivation level increase rapidly.

He went from being at the peak of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm in the blink of an eye.

This did not stop there; his cultivation level rapidly increased until he reached the seventh level of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, at which point it finally ended.

"I am Houtu, the lord of the earth and the chief of the witch clan, Pangu. Today I have attained enlightenment and will listen to your teachings in the underworld ten thousand years from now."

As Houtu attained enlightenment, a vast divine might permeated the entire prehistoric world, forcing all cultivators to prostrate themselves on the ground.

"We pay our respects to the Supreme Goddess Houtu!"

Seeing this, Houtu waved her hand and turned to Qin Ming: "Brother Qin Ming, Fellow Daoist Nuwa, how about we go to the Netherworld for a gathering?"

"good!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming and Nuwa nodded and then followed Houtu toward the Netherworld.

Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun's expression was extremely gloomy.

How many things is Heaven hiding from him?

First it was Nuwa, and now it's Houtu.

Will there be anything else beyond his imagination after this?

Now that Houtu has attained sainthood, the fortune of the Wu Clan has soared. How will the Demon Clan contend with the Wu Clan in the future?

The more Hongjun thought about it, the more depressed he became.

However, since things had come to this point, he was powerless to change it. He could only suppress his anger and concentrate on preaching again.

The cultivators, who were initially shocked by Houtu's enlightenment, were once again captivated by Hongjun's sermon.

In the blink of an eye, two thousand five hundred years have passed.

Do you have any questions?

Hongjun looked at everyone and asked calmly.
