Transmigrating into Haotian, ruling the Three Pure Ones and pacifying the primordial world.

The boundless light of merit fell upon Haotian, with 50% going to Houtu and the rest scattering and splitting into golden clouds of varying sizes, flying towards the cultivators who participated in the restoration of the earth's veins.

The gods of the primordial world stared in disbelief at this scene. Then, a voice rang out from the underworld: "We, the twelve Ancestral Witches, opened up the underworld. I, Houtu, will transform myself into the cycle of reincarnation, dividing ourselves into the celestial realm, the human realm, the Asura realm, the animal realm, the hungry ghost realm, and the hell realm. From now on, all beings in the primordial world can be reincarnated."

"boom--"

The power of merit descended once again, with Houtu taking the lion's share this time, followed by Haotian and Styx, and the remaining portion going to the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Three Pure Ones.

The power of merit descended repeatedly, yet the gods showed no jealousy; instead, they were excited. Although they were still enveloped in the oppressive aura emanating from Houtu, they all bowed respectfully towards the Underworld.

"Many thanks to the Goddess Houtu for opening the cycle of reincarnation, Your Majesty is of great virtue."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for praising the Greatly Compassionate and Merciful Empress."

"Your Majesty's virtue is boundless!"

Even the Bodhisattvas Jieyin and Zhunti on Mount Sumeru bowed in reverence. Nine-colored divine light flashed in the sky, and Nuwa appeared outside the Underworld, bowing to the Underworld together with the Three Pure Ones.

"Your Majesty's holy virtue is worthy of praise; we salute the compassionate and merciful Empress!"

A reluctant voice came from the side. The Five Spirits Heavenly Chariot passed by, and Haotian arrived with Zhen Yuanzi. He saw that the Styx River's face was ashen, and beside him was a sea of ​​blood that had shrunk to a thousand miles in size.

I pursed my lips again and again, really not wanting to laugh out loud at such a serious moment.

The two bowed towards the underworld, and eleven ancestral witches emerged from them. Several saints were taken aback. Good heavens, eleven late-stage quasi-saints with great supernatural powers.

"Amitabha, we are late." Jieyin and Zhunti arrived riding on divine light, and as the golden light of merit fell from the horizon, the aura of the Heavenly Dao also receded.

Houtu appeared and smiled at everyone: "Fellow Daoists, you are too kind. Please come into the Underworld for a look."

The group exchanged glances and stepped in together. Looking at the vast and boundless underworld before them, the ghostly aura was swept away. The light was rather dim, but the rest of the mountains and landforms were no different from the primordial land, all equally vast.

"Fellow Daoists, you've certainly made quite a commotion," Nuwa couldn't help but praise. Jieyin and Zhunti nodded earnestly. At least Nuwa had participated in stabilizing the earth, while the two of them knew nothing about it.

Nuwa also glanced at Haotian with a complicated expression. The instructions she received were simply to use the Map of Mountains and Rivers to stabilize the earth when her junior brother took action, in order to prevent the earth veins from surging. Zhen Yuanzi was to do the same, except that he also had the additional function of using the Book of Earth to help open up the underworld.

However, feeling the power of merit falling upon him, Zhen Yuanzi smiled gratefully at Haotian. If it weren't for this fellow Daoist, how could he have obtained the merit of the Great Dao!

Haotian looked relaxed and satisfied as he surveyed the Underworld, then turned to Houtu and the Twelve Ancestral Witches: "Well, you don't blame me for taking so long, do you?"

"Fellow Daoist's plans are beyond my reach." Houtu chuckled and bowed to Haotian, startling him so much that he quickly stepped aside. Houtu was now a genuine sage.

However, the extraordinary phenomenon of attaining enlightenment was obscured by the extraordinary phenomena of the Great Dao's merits and the manifestation of the Earthly Dao in the world. If he were to accept this greeting, it would likely damage his imperial destiny!

The group watched Houtu bow without any reluctance, their gazes shifting as they looked at Haotian. Haotian, on the other hand, wore a smug expression, thinking, "This was all orchestrated by me."

Houtu swore an oath to the Great Dao, using the law of reincarnation as a guide, and sacrificed the bloodline of Pangu within her body. The twelve ancestral witches merged with Pangu's physical body. How could the Great Dao remain unmoved by such a familiar aura?

Then, he used his greatest power to create the underworld, which was very similar to the creation of the world by the great god Pangu. Finally, after the twelve ancestral witches were exhausted, they offered up all their essence and blood to move the Great Dao.

"As expected of the Great God Pangu, he is indeed the son of the Great Dao. This time, the Great Dao is showing some pity for the younger generation." Haotian chuckled, which made the Three Pure Ones roll their eyes. However, this time, they did indeed benefit from the glory of Father God Pangu.

Haotian felt the merit within his body and smiled broadly. The first time Heaven bestowed merit was when he repaired the western earth veins, and the second time was when Houtu engraved the Six Paths of Reincarnation into the world. Heaven also had to make a gesture.

However, from beginning to end, when the Underworld appeared, the Heavenly Dao didn't interfere at all. Now that the Underworld has become completely independent and on equal footing with the Heavenly Dao, as for him...

Haotian smiled slightly, drawing the attention of the others. Jieyin and Zhunti looked somewhat grave: "Junior Brother's Heavenly Heart Finger has become even stronger!"

The Three Pure Ones' eyes flickered. Yes, the restoration of the Western Earth Veins was achieved by Haotian through the fusion of the underground channels, and the aura he exuded at that time was almost comparable to theirs.

Houtu smiled without saying a word. Haotian looked at Jieyin and Zhunti and said calmly, "Yes, but it is also thanks to Lady Houtu's support that I could not use such powerful strength."

However, after experiencing it, he found that the Earthly Path Heavenly Heart Finger was more powerful than the Heavenly Path version.

If the two could be combined...

"This underworld is far too empty," Tongtian said after surveying the area.

"It's just a hasty start-up, but since all the senior brothers and sisters are here, we can build it together," Haotian said softly.

Houtu smiled and said, "What the Heavenly Emperor says is true. In the future, the Underworld can be called the Three Realms along with the Heavenly Realm and the Primordial Earth, which is the final destination of all spirits' reincarnation. It does indeed need to be improved."

Watching the Six Paths of Reincarnation slowly rotate deep within the underworld, Zhunti's eyes gleamed with desire: "So, all it takes for a living being's primordial spirit to enter is reincarnation?"

"Not bad." Houtu glanced at him. "The Six Paths of Reincarnation are divided into three good paths and three evil paths, which all living beings and their primordial spirits can enter."

Zhunti hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped, while Styx's expression softened.

"Our Heavenly Court rules over the primordial world. If a celestial being is born, they will naturally be born as an immortal, thus becoming the head of the Six Paths," Haotian said coldly. "The Underworld has opened up and occupied Fellow Daoist Styx's Blood Sea. In the future, no more Asuras will be born in the Blood Sea. This path is unavoidable."

"Then what about the Human Realm? Does the Heavenly Emperor and Fellow Daoist Houtu mean that the human race will monopolize the Human Realm?" Zhunti asked unwillingly.

In an instant, Laozi's gaze turned somber, Nuwa's eyes flashed with divine light, Houtu suppressed her smile, and Haotian calmly said, "So what if it is!"

Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Zhunti cried out indignantly, "No! What right do humans have to monopolize this path!"

"Humans are the protagonists of heaven and earth, so it is only natural." Haotian looked at Jieyin and Zhunti, a cold light flashing in his eyes. "Humans are the bloodline of me and Senior Sister Nuwa, Senior Brother Taiqing established the Human Sect and became a saint, and the Wu Clan and Humans combined to give birth to the Wuren lineage. There is also a flow of fortune between them, so they can naturally firmly occupy the position of the protagonists of heaven and earth."

"What?!" Jieyin lost his previous composure. "You want the human race to be the protagonist of the world?"

"Is it not allowed?" Laozi looked over with a cold gaze, followed closely by Yuanshi Tongtian. The Three Pure Ones were one, and they naturally had to support their eldest brother.

Zhen Yuanzi's expression changed as he looked at the other Ancestral Witches, who remained silent like expressionless statues.
