Humans live in the primordial world, investing in countless realms

Chapter 82: Merit Spread Across the Primordial World, Houtu Transforms into the Wheel of Reincarnation and Settles the Six Paths!

Houtu's voice echoed between heaven and earth, and countless living beings seemed to sense it, unconsciously beginning to worship in the direction from which the voice originated.

In the world, countless souls hidden in the shadows also headed towards the direction of Houtu after this voice appeared.

The dense mass of souls passed through, creating a scene of a hundred ghosts roaming the entire primordial world.

But when the spirits of the dead emerge, countless living beings dare not stop them.

Just as all beings were appreciating Houtu's creation of reincarnation.

The heavens and earth were instantly painted gold, and even the countless souls present could not obscure this light.

Above them, an enormous golden cloud of merit appeared.

Even the size of this golden cloud of merit is much larger than the combined size of the six saints when they attained sainthood.

Golden clouds seemed to cover the entire primordial wilderness, and even the heavens and earth were now only a deep golden color.

Upon witnessing this scene, Lin Chen stood frozen in place.

Even Zhen Yuanzi, who was standing to the side, swallowed slightly and stared wide-eyed at the sky.

His fingers trembled slightly as he began to speak.

"This is the Golden Cloud of Merit!"

"Isn't that a bit outrageous?"

But after he finished speaking, Kuafu stood frozen in place.

He had witnessed quite a few major events in the prehistoric era.

But this was the first time he had ever seen such terrifying merit.

Just as he was about to open his mouth and praise the greatness of his ancestral witch.

Suddenly, it seemed as if they realized something.

Although Lin Chen was also shocked, he knew that this size of golden light of merit was normal.

After all, there were the previous six saints.

When the goddess Nuwa created humans and made them saints, she was merely creating a race with an innate Daoist constitution.

As for the others, they claimed to be enlightening the masses, and it seems that the Dao Ancestor's attainment of sainthood was also related to this.

It's impossible for such terrifying merit to arise from repeatedly teaching sentient beings so many times.

Then Tu transformed himself into the cycle of reincarnation, giving the departed souls a place to return to, and even injecting a brand new vitality into the entire primordial world.

Allowing the soul to circulate endlessly is a great act of merit that benefits all living beings in the entire primordial world.

Only such a level of merit can be considered acceptable.

Even from this point onward, the cycle of rebirth in the six realms may continue to accumulate merit.

At this moment, Lin Chen became somewhat curious. With such a large amount of merit, Houtu had only achieved sainthood through an alternative method.

A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Upon seeing that smile, he looked at Zhen Yuanzi and asked.

"Senior, how many methods are there to attain the Great Luo Primordial Dao?"

Zhen Yuanzi was still in shock, but after hearing what Lin Chen said, he suddenly came to his senses and instantly realized something.

However, he patiently listened to Lin Chen's explanation.

"The Dao Ancestor once said that the Dao of Hunyuan Daluo has three methods. The first is the method of the Three Corpses, in which a spiritual treasure is entrusted to the Three Corpses. Only after the Three Corpses are united can one reach the Hunyuan Daluo realm."

"Secondly, it is to comprehend the Great Dao and, with great perseverance, walk the path of proving the Dao through force. This method is the strongest, but it requires a profound understanding of the Great Dao and is the slowest."

"Thirdly, one can use the Primordial Purple Qi as a foundation and achieve the position of Heavenly Saint through great merit. This method is the simplest, and all the saints in the current Primordial World have followed this path."

Lin Chen nodded upon hearing this, then glanced at the sky above him, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Such a large amount of merit, and he's not even a saint yet? He might be able to dig up Houtu in the future.

No, it's about calming down and placing your hopes on your own Great Dao. At that time, Houtu might be able to be resurrected.

And, seemingly because of Lin Chen's question, Zhen Yuanzi also sighed.

"What a pity, Fellow Daoist Houtu. If you had a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi, you might have become a Saint. Such great merit, if you became a Saint, would be a unique Saint in the world, and might even surpass the previous six Saints."

However, after he finished speaking, Kuafu, who was standing to the side, looked worried and seemed to be thinking about something. Finally, he seemed to remember something and showed a look of sudden realization.

"Ah, right, I remember now, didn't the Ancestral Witch just say that she would henceforth be at peace? What does that mean?"

Zhen Yuanzi was also unsure about this for a while.

At this moment, Lin Chen, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up and remind him.

"Um, senior, it seems that the Goddess Houtu just said that she transformed herself into the cycle of reincarnation."

A flawless version after careful inspection!

For a moment, Kuafu was stunned, and he was incredulous.

At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi also had a guess in his mind. He then directly grabbed Lin Chen and Kuafu, and soared into the sky, transforming into a rainbow light and heading into the distance.

Along the way, countless creatures sang praises of Houtu's virtues all year round, but these words only sounded slightly grating to Kuafu's ears.

At this moment, Lin Chen also looked curiously in the direction they were heading.

After several spatial jumps, before Lin Chen could even appreciate the changes in the world, he opened his eyes again and found that the world no longer seemed to be the primordial continent.

The scene was dark and gloomy, filled with a sense of coldness and death.

In this world, there is also a vast and boundless sea, but the sea is blood red. The churning blood in it can instinctively cause fear and unease when people look at it. Moreover, it exudes endless killing intent, which makes people feel cold all over.

Not far beyond the sea of ​​blood, Houtu, in her true form, stood proudly between heaven and earth.

The three had just arrived when they saw countless golden rays of merit flowing into the enormous body.

Then the enormous body began to slowly change.

A massive passageway slowly materialized, and within it, six runes gradually emerged.

Then Houtu's voice resounded once more.

"The cycle of rebirth for all beings should be governed by rules and regulations. The causes of good and evil in this life determine the consequences of the next life. Rebirth is divided into six realms, within which there are three good and three evil realms."

"The three good paths are: the path of the gods, the path of humans, and the path of the asuras!"

"The three evil realms are: the hell realm, the hungry ghost realm, and the animal realm!"

As soon as the words establishing the Six Paths of Reincarnation were uttered, the Six Paths of Reincarnation began to vibrate continuously.

Zhen Yuanzi and the others could only watch from afar. When they tried to move forward, they felt as if a force was blocking their way, preventing them from advancing.

Then, Houtu's voice resounded once again from the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

"Those who wish to enter the six realms must relinquish the karmic burdens of their past lives and forget all memories of their past existence before they can enter!"

As Houtu spoke, the entire earth began to change, and an enormous underground cave appeared on the ground.

The underground cave was filled with the wails of various dead souls, and from the Six Paths of Reincarnation, an old woman emerged, carrying a large pot, and slowly came to the Six Paths of Reincarnation to cook soup.

Lin Chen could also see that this already had the prototype of the underworld, but he hadn't yet seen the Six Paths of Reincarnation take shape.

A murderous aura surged from the boundless sea of ​​blood behind them, and a roar erupted from within it.

"Fellow Daoist Houtu, you have occupied my Daoist temple without permission. Don't you feel that this is somewhat inappropriate?"
