Primordial Era: Something's Wrong with This Generation of Witch Clan

Chapter 48 Daring to Infiltrate the Underworld? Pick up what's left over!

In the Demon Court, although Di Jun was very unwilling, he still led the people of the Demon Court to bow in the direction of the Blood Sea.

But before Houtu could recover from the joy of becoming a saint, her expression suddenly changed, and she began to struggle. After an unknown amount of time, Houtu sighed.

"Now that the cycle of reincarnation has been established, from this earth no longer..."

"Seventh Sister!" Just as Houtu was about to shout that Houtu would no longer be a witch, a voice full of surprise came from afar.

Houtu turned her head and saw that the Twelve Ancestral Witches were flying over from a distance. Among them, Houtu actually saw herself.

Indeed, Houtu saw herself in the group of Ancestral Witches. It was a very strange feeling, like looking in a mirror. When everyone came to Houtu's side, Houtu ignored the others and went straight to another Houtu.

"How amazing!" they both exclaimed at the same time, then looked at each other and smiled.

When the two Houtu stood together, a lot of information instantly appeared in their minds, and they immediately understood what was going on.

"Thirteenth Brother is indeed remarkable!" Empress Pingxin said with a smile as she looked at the Ancestral Witch Houtu before her.

"My thirteenth brother is truly remarkable! It seems he could foresee this day coming; otherwise, I wouldn't have been born," said the Ancestral Witch Houtu.

"Yes! Thirteenth Brother actually foresaw today." Empress Pingxin nodded as well.

The group of Ancestral Witches listened to the words of Lady Pingxin and Ancestral Witch Houtu, looking completely bewildered. They could understand each individual word, but when put together, they had no idea what it meant.

What's going on? Was this all orchestrated by the thirteenth brother?

Empress Pingxin and the Ancestral Witch Houtu wanted to say something more, but suddenly their brows furrowed and their expressions turned somewhat unpleasant.

"What's wrong?" asked the ancestral witch Houtu.

"What level of strength have you reached now?" Consort Pingxin suddenly asked.

"It's no less than yours before, including in terms of bloodline," said the Ancestral Witch Houtu with a smile.

"That's good!" Empress Pingxin nodded.

The next second, her gaze immediately turned cold, and then Consort Pingxin looked up at the sky.

"Now that the cycle of reincarnation has begun, I am Pingxin of the Earthly Path! Pingxin is also a witch!" Pingxin said coldly.

The next second, a thunderclap seemed to strike from nowhere, and the pressure of the Heavenly Dao descended instantly, pressing Styx, Mosquito Daoist, and all the creatures around the Blood Sea to the ground, rendering them unable to move.

"Hmph!" Empress Pingxin snorted coldly, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared behind her. Because she was a newborn, the pressure of the Earth Path was no match for the Heaven Path.

However, Pingxin's eyes remained calm, because she knew that Heaven would not dare to destroy the newly formed underground passage, otherwise even Heaven would not be able to bear the karma of destroying the underground passage.

Sure enough, just after the Six Paths of Reincarnation emitted a sound as if it was about to shatter, the Heavenly Dao withdrew its immense pressure. However, the Heavenly Dao did not intend to give up so easily. One Heavenly Dao was enough for the Primordial World. The Earthly Dao and the future Human Dao could only submit to the Heavenly Dao and become its subjects.

After the oppressive power of Heaven receded, the Three Pure Ones, led by Lao Tzu, along with Nuwa and the Western Guide, immediately appeared on the shore of Blood Sea.

"Greetings, Lady Pingxin!" Laozi and his companions bowed to Lady Pingxin upon their arrival.

Then everyone turned their gaze to the Ancestral Witch Houtu, and their eyes showed surprise. However, this expression only lasted for a moment before it was hidden.

"Have you all come here for my Underworld?" Empress Pingxin asked calmly after seeing the group of saints.

"Your Majesty, you don't have many people to help you in this underworld. Our Western Sect can help you," Zhunti said with a smile.

"Our Jie Sect has many disciples, who can also help Your Majesty improve the Underworld," Tongtian said, cupping his hands in greeting.

"I'm only here to congratulate Sister Pingxin. I have no intention of interfering in the affairs of the Underworld," Nuwa said with a smile.

Since there was only one saint in the world, Nuwa, and now there is another goddess, Pingxin Niangniang, she naturally had to come and offer her congratulations!

Laozi and Yuanshi did not speak, but it was clear that their purpose was the same as Tongtian's.

"Hmph! No need for you to trouble yourselves with that. Our Wu clan has plenty of manpower." Dijiang snorted coldly upon seeing this.

Upon hearing Dijiang's words, Laozi and the others' faces darkened. They could all see the future development of the Underworld. As long as the Primordial World did not perish, the Underworld's merits would continue to flow.

But now that they've been stopped by Dijiang, how can they possibly be happy about it?

"Hmph! What kind of management do you witches know? A bunch of guys who don't even have a primordial spirit, do you even know how to operate the underworld?" Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Dijiang with a mocking expression.

"You!" Zhu Rong glared angrily at Yuanshi Tianzun, but Yuanshi Tianzun was right. They really couldn't manage the underworld.

The Witch Clan is a natural-born warrior race, adept at fighting, but when it comes to governance, they are truly lacking.

"Your Majesty, our Western Sect is not greedy. We do not want the positions of gods in the underworld. We only wish to place a disciple here on the shore of the Blood Sea, so that he can guide the wronged souls here and contribute a small part to the cause of the underworld's rebirth." Seeing that everyone was on the verge of war, Zhunti said with a smile.

As soon as Zhunti finished speaking, everyone's eyes immediately turned to him.

"Hmph, it's none of your business in the East!" Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, this place of reincarnation belongs to the entire prehistoric world. There should be no distinction between east and west. Does that mean that my Western region is not subject to this reincarnation?" Jieyin looked at Yuanshi with a bitter expression, as if he had always had this expression.

"Our Jie Sect only needs one of the Six Paths," Tongtian said in a deep voice.

"My Chan Sect also only has one path."

"My demonic sect will accept the animal realm as it is," Lao Tzu said calmly.

"No matter what you say, this underworld is not something you can touch," Zhu Jiuyin said in a sinister tone.

"Hmph!" The group of saints snorted coldly, and their saintly might immediately enveloped Zhu Jiuyin.

"What? Are you trying to force me to abdicate?" After the holy aura of the emperors spread out, Consort Pingxin, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.

As soon as she spoke, the saints present immediately withdrew their divine authority and all looked at Consort Pingxin.

"Your Majesty, there are so many divine positions in the Underworld that you can't possibly handle them all. If it delays your reincarnation, it won't be good," Yuanshi said calmly, but there was a hint of threat in his tone.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Consort Pingxin said calmly.

The next second, an aura far surpassing that of a saint emanated from Lady Pingxin, directly pressing down on the Three Pure Ones and Jieyin and Zhunti, forcing them to kneel on the ground.

Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from Consort Pingxin, their eyes were filled with fear and disbelief. They were both saints, so why was Consort Pingxin so strong?

In reality, Lady Pingxin relied on the power of the underground passage; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to suppress the Three Pure Ones at all.

"This is my underworld, do you understand?" Empress Pingxin said coldly, looking at the Three Pure Ones kneeling on the ground.

Her confidence stemmed from two main sources: firstly, the importance of the Earthly Path to the Primordial World, which deterred the Heavenly Dao from taking any action against her; and secondly, the influence of the Ancestral Witch Houtu.

When she learned that the Ancestral Witch Houtu possessed the same strength and bloodline as her, she had no more worries, because even without her, the Ancestral Witches could still summon the true form of Pangu.

"Want a position in the underworld? Sure!" Just as Lady Pingxin finished speaking, a cheerful voice rang in everyone's ears.

Upon hearing this voice, everyone's expression changed, because the owner of the voice was none other than their thirteenth brother, Pan Huang.

"Thirteenth Brother, you've come out of seclusion?" Shebi Shi quickly turned his head and saw Pan Huang leading Si Teng, Ru Yi, Leng Yue, and Zhong Ling towards them.

"Yes, I just came out of seclusion." Pan Huang nodded.

"Thirteenth Brother, what did you mean by that just now? This Underworld was created by Seventh Sister who gave up her physical body. Are you just going to give it to them like that?" Zhu Rong said at this moment, her words filled with anger.

"Third Brother, do you believe me?" Pan Huang asked Zhu Rong.

"I believe you." Zhu Rong said this almost subconsciously.

Since Pan Huang would never do anything that would harm the interests of the Wu tribe, Zhu Rong thought to herself, "If he said that, perhaps he really has his reasons."

"Then leave this matter to me." Pan Huang looked at Zhu Rong, and then at Di Jiang and the others.

"Alright!" Before Dijiang and the others could speak, Consort Pingxin spoke first.

"Wanting a divine position in the underworld is no problem, but you'll have to wait for my Wu clan to make their selection first," Pan Huang said, looking at the Three Pure Ones and the others.

"Your Majesty Pingxin, you must not help." Laozi and the Three Pure Ones exchanged a glance, and then Laozi spoke.

As for the two Western Saints, they have already been excluded by the Three Pure Ones.

Lao Tzu said this because he believed that the Wu Clan was completely unfamiliar with the Underworld. Even they only learned about the wonders of the Underworld after the Heavenly Dao revealed some information to them; otherwise, they would never have been able to appear here.

"Alright!" Empress Pingxin nodded.

Then, with a wave of her hand, Lady Pingxin brought everyone to the Underworld. The place had a very oppressive atmosphere, but the eyes of the saints revealed a look of excitement.

"Let's begin," Yuanshi Tianzun said somewhat impatiently.

"Let the Ancestral Witch Emperor Dijiang take the position of the Great Emperor of Fengdu in the North Yin." Pan Huang took away the highest position of the underworld, which made the Three Pure Ones' expressions change, but they could not say anything. After all, it was agreed that they would wait until the Witch Clan had made their choice before making theirs.

"The Reincarnation Bureau should be headed by the Ancestral Witch Houtu."

"The chief judge of the case was Zhu Jiuyin, the ancestral sorcerer."

"The Judgement Division is divided into the Rewards and Goodness Division, which is headed by my eldest disciple Zhao Gongming; the Punishments and Evils Division, which is headed by Yu Ding; the Investigation Division, which is headed by Yun Zhongzi; and the Underworld Law Division, which is headed by the Three Immortals."

"The Five Ghost Emperors will be assigned to the remaining Ancestral Witches themselves."

"The great shamans serve as the Ten Kings of Hell."

"The six officials in charge of the case will be members of my Qiwu clan."

"The chief official of the Underworld is jointly held by humans and the Jiuli tribe."

"The Styx River is the master of the Asura realm in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Do the saints have any objections?" Pan Huang asked with a smile, looking at the saint whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Hmph!" The saints snorted coldly and said nothing.

"The Mosquito Daoist is the master of the six realms of reincarnation and the hell realm."

"As the leader of the Human Religion, it is not excessive for me to assume the role of the Lord of Humanity, is it?"

"Let the rest be given to the sages," Pan Huang said with a smile after thinking for a moment. There were no more important positions available.

"This beast is mine, my demonic sect wants him," Laozi said calmly.

No one would dare to compete with Laozi for it, since the Beast Path was most compatible with the Demon Sect and the Demon Race.

"Our Chan Sect desires this Heavenly Dao!" After Lao Tzu finished speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun spoke first.

"Why should I? My Jie Sect wants the Heavenly Dao." Tongtian was somewhat unwilling.

"On what grounds? It's because everyone in my Chan Sect is a true immortal with profound roots and blessings, while your Jie Sect consists of a bunch of hairy, horned, and born-from-egg creatures." Yuanshi Tianzun sneered.

"Stop arguing, let the Heavenly Way reach Tongtian." At this moment, Laozi suddenly said.

Upon hearing Laozi's words, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned, then seemed to realize something, his expression turning extremely ugly. Laozi was now the leader of the Demon Sect, and most of the disciples of Tongtian Sect were demons. When he said that the disciples of Tongtian Sect were hairy and horned, born from eggs in the wet, he must have hit Laozi hard.

"Do any of you saints wish to appoint the remaining Soul-Binding Envoys?" Pan Huang asked again after the main divine duties had been assigned.

Lao Tzu didn't say anything, but simply disappeared from the spot. Clearly, he had achieved his goal.

Yuanshi thought for a moment, then disappeared from the spot. He, Yuanshi Tianzun, disdained those low-level gods.

However, Tongtian was very interested in the lower-level divine positions. He recruited the Ten Underworld Marshals and Ghost Messengers, Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and so on. Only after confirming these positions did Tongtian leave.

"We in the West don't need religious offices; we only need to set up a temple on the shore of the Blood Sea," Zhunti said with a smile.

"Alright!" Pan Huang smiled, and both he and Zhunti's smiles carried an indescribable meaning.

Afterwards, Ksitigarbha was brought out. Ksitigarbha came to the sea of ​​blood and casually built a dwelling. Then, under the guidance of Cundi, he made the very famous Heavenly Oath: "I will not become a Buddha until hell is empty."

After the oath was made, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was immediately bound to the underworld. Upon witnessing this, Lady Pingxin and Panhuang exchanged a glance, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on their lips.

"Farewell!" Having achieved their goal, Zhunti and Jieyin disappeared from the spot.

"Sister Pingxin, you are welcome to come to my Nuwa Palace to discuss the Dao when you have time." Nuwa said this to Lady Pingxin before disappearing from the spot.

"Thirteenth brother, you're confused! You actually gave up three of the Six Paths Lords." After everyone left, Shebishi said.

"Don't worry, it will all be ours from now on, right? Empress Pingxin," Pan Huang said with a smile to Empress Pingxin.

Empress Pingxin didn't speak, but the smile on her face said it all.

"Since these divine duties have been assigned, then I will take over the construction of the underworld." At this moment, Mosquito Taoist stepped forward.

The next chapter will provide a systematic introduction to the structure of the underworld, as well as the process of reincarnation for living beings after death. It will be very detailed! I hope you enjoy it!
