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

Jieyin and Zhunti looked ashen-faced; they had no backup plan among the human race.

The West is so impoverished, yet the two of them are once again ostracized by the saints.

If humanity truly becomes the protagonist of heaven and earth, Haotian's fortune will surely increase greatly, making it difficult for him to scheme against him in the future.

Zhunti raised his head and couldn't help but say, "The human race is weak, Fellow Daoist Houtu, your Wu clan—ah!"

"Shut up!" Houtu slammed her palm down hard on Zhunti's chest, her gaze turning coldly to Jieyin. "Since you don't want to stay in the Underworld, then please leave, fellow Daoists!"

The exit to the underworld suddenly opened, and an incomparably vast power spread out, pushing aside the two saints. Jieyin and Zhunti felt that the power of the Heavenly Dao was completely cut off, as if they could really perish here.

The two men's expressions changed drastically. Zhunti wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, fled the underworld without looking back, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Houtu glanced at Haotian, then her gaze swept over the other ancestral witches. Seeing that none of them showed any interest, she felt slightly relieved.

Fortunately, her brothers were not swayed by Jieyin and Zhunti's instigation, thinking that the Wu Clan could emerge from the mountains again because of her as a sage of the underground world. But now, the underground world is not under her control alone!

"I have lost my composure. Please forgive me, fellow Daoists."

For a moment, the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa were stunned. When they came to their senses, the supreme treasures appeared in their hands. At the same time, their eyes were filled with vigilance. The Underworld could actually isolate the power of the Heavenly Dao.

If Houtu intends to take action, they will all become ordinary Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals.

Houtu smiled bitterly to herself. This was no secret; they would find out sooner or later!

Haotian remained calm, as if nothing had happened: "Let's build the Underworld first. We can discuss the matter of the human race being the protagonist of heaven and earth later."

"Please make the arrangements, Heavenly Emperor," Houtu said in a low voice.

"When all spirits perish, whether they are their primordial spirit or soul, they are drawn to the underworld and come there involuntarily. Therefore, the gates of the underworld are always open, with barriers erected."

The group nodded, and Houtu pointed her hand, causing the Law of Earth to emerge. A towering, pitch-black gate, tens of thousands of feet high, appeared at the entrance to the Underworld, emanating a chilling aura that had a great attraction to the souls of living beings.

"This gate will be called the Gate of Hell. In the future, when living beings perish, they will enter the underworld through the Gate of Hell." As Houtu's voice fell, the Gate of Hell merged with the underworld, appearing even more mystical. The ferocious ghost heads on it had a great restraining effect on ghosts.

Haotian nodded slightly: "Fellow Daoist, it's time to use the spiritual treasures you've obtained."

Houtu was taken aback, and one magical treasure after another flew out, some turning into narrow paths, and others flowing with the waters of the Yellow Springs.

With a flick of Haotian's finger, the Qiankun Cauldron appeared, and the Nine Heavens Weak Water collected when the Heavenly Court collapsed continuously poured in, truly so that even a goose feather could not float.

"The River of Oblivion!" Styx's eyes narrowed slightly. With the addition of Ruoshui by Haotian, even the primordial spirit of a Taiyi Golden Immortal would find it difficult to struggle ashore if it fell into it.

"The Dragon Clan is not afraid of the Weak Water. After I return to the Heavenly Court, I will send the Dragon Clan here." Haotian looked around with satisfaction. "The Dragon Clan can control the Yellow Springs and the River of Oblivion."

Houtu nodded: "Okay!"

Looking at the Mirror of Retribution, the Stone of Three Lives, the Bridge of Helplessness, and other structures, Haotian took a deep breath: "Although all beings can be reincarnated, there are also some heinous creatures who, if they were to enter the cycle of reincarnation alongside virtuous cultivators, wouldn't that be an injustice of Heaven?"

"What does this fellow Daoist wish to do?" Houtu turned her head and asked.

"Naturally, they must first be punished and repay their sins before entering reincarnation." Haotian smiled coldly, "Establish eighteen levels of hell, where all sinful beings will be judged and sent to them."

The Three Pure Ones gasped in shock, but Styx's eyes lit up. He was familiar with all kinds of tortures!

"Please, fellow Daoists, make your move!" Haotian smiled, and the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa exchanged a glance. Their magical power surged, and the Underworld seemed to have collapsed into a huge pit, each layer comparable to the Great Thousand World.

The four sages pondered for a moment and added a few more punishments. Zhen Yuanzi hesitated, then the power of the earth surged in, condensing into boundless falling rocks. Styx and the other ancestral witches also began to act, and soon the eighteen levels of hell were full.

Mountains of knives, seas of fire, cauldrons of boiling oil, falling rocks, slow slicing, tongue-pulling... all sorts of tortures that send chills down one's spine!

"The most important thing in the underworld is the reincarnation of living beings. Since there are already two paths, good and evil, the qualifications for reincarnation in the six realms must be carefully examined!"

The Three Pure Ones' eyes lit up. Judging all living beings is equivalent to reducing the burden on the Heavenly Dao, so naturally one will receive merit!

Houtu looked at the eleven ancestral witches. Their witch clan also had quite a few members!

Seeing their expressions, Haotian understood what they were thinking and smiled helplessly: "Don't worry, senior brother. Nowadays, there are many humans and many other races in the prehistoric world. Naturally, there will be more than just one or two people to review."

"I will establish three main halls, where the souls of all sentient beings in the Three Realms will enter the Hall of Reception, and then be categorized again. How about that?"

Houtu glanced at the Six Paths of Reincarnation: "The Hell Path and the Hungry Ghost Path both govern the Underworld. As for the Asura Path, Fellow Daoist Styx's race probably won't lose many members."

She pointed, and a vast, boundless hall appeared, inscribed with the three innate divine characters "Hall of Reception".

The divine light reappeared, and three side halls appeared to the side, namely "Department of Heaven and Man", "Department of Humanity" and "Department of Animal Industry" from left to right.

Haotian nodded in satisfaction, and the Three Pure Ones also paused for a moment, thinking that this would allow them to arrange quite a few positions!

However, given the qualifications of their disciples, only a divine position at the level of a temple master would be worthy of them.

"The Hall of Reception distinguishes one's origins, then the Mirror of Retribution illuminates the sins of a lifetime, before proceeding to the next stage—the Hall of Judgment!"

"This hall bears the heaviest responsibility, as it determines the cycle of reincarnation based on the merits and demerits of a living being's life. Therefore, this hall is divided into two departments: Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil!"

"The virtuous can have their fortune and lifespan in the next life coordinated with the Heavenly Palace of Blessing and Longevity, while the wicked will be sent to Hell by the Department of Punishment, where they will be cleansed of their sins before entering the cycle of reincarnation. What does Your Majesty think?"

finally come!

A huge weight lifted from everyone's hearts, and they looked solemnly at Haotian, who had been dedicated to building the Underworld and was now finally going to interfere in the matter of the cycle of reincarnation!

This also means that the Heavenly Court can place its people in the Underworld, and in the future, the Underworld will also be partly under the control of the Heavenly Court.

If the rules are finalized today, even a sage like Houtu cannot easily expel them!

"Alright, fellow Daoist, please make the arrangements. As long as it doesn't disturb the cycle of reincarnation, I have no objections." Houtu seemed oblivious to the difference between the two and agreed with a smile.

Haotian nodded, watching Houtu erect the grand hall, and said in a deep voice, "After I return to the Heavenly Court, I will immediately issue an edict to build the Palace of Blessing and Longevity!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Twenty-Four-Petaled Reincarnation Purple Lotus appeared, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation resonated with it. The Earthly Path manifested and inscribed this Emperor's Decree!

The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa's expressions changed; these two were putting on a show!

If humanity becomes the dominant force in the world in the future, then the blessings and lifespan of all beings after reincarnation will be controlled by the Heavenly Court and the Underworld!

Haotian and Houtu exchanged a smile. The rules were already engraved, and even if the Six Sages objected, there was nothing they could do!

However, it's time to share some of the benefits with others!

"The last place is the Surveillance Hall, which has the Underworld Command and the Investigation Division under it. This hall has great power and can review the merits and demerits of the immortals and gods in the first two halls, but it has no right to interfere in the affairs of the first two halls. What do you think, senior brothers and sisters?"

The three Qing masters exchanged a glance, realizing this was indeed a prestigious and respectable divine position: "How should the selection of personnel be arranged?"

"The Heavenly Court, the disciples of the Sages, and the Witch Clan all need to contribute. In the future, when the human race grows up, we must also reserve a place for the human race," Haotian said without hesitation.

"Then the two in the West..." Nuwa hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

"After all, they are Heavenly Saints, so let's give one to them." Houtu chimed in, and Haotian, after a moment's thought, agreed.

Sanqing nodded: "Alright, I will arrange for my disciples to come after I return to the mountain."

The group walked to the Bridge of Helplessness, looking ahead at the six paths of reincarnation. Haotian pointed to the Heavenly Path, and a golden bridge appeared. He said, "The three good paths and the three evil paths must be distinguished."

"Distinguished by merit and karma?" Houtu's eyes flashed, and Haotian nodded. The Golden Bridge is basically only for people with great merit, or reincarnations of immortals and gods, who are born as celestial beings.

Nuwa pointed her finger towards the human realm, and a silver bridge connected the human realm; the Styx held a jade bridge that connected the Asura realm.

The Three Pure Ones took turns making their moves, connecting the three evil paths with wood, stone, and bamboo. They all looked at their masterpieces with satisfaction.
