The underworld, the Ten Kings of Hell.
But it is a place even worse than the eighteenth level of purgatory. The so-called nineteenth level of purgatory in the eyes of ordinary people is dark everywhere, with endless silence, and occasional shrill cries. They wander around each other, causing owls to cry sadly. Standing above the white bones, there is a place of brief peace.
"Why do you have to do this..."
"We have come all the way since more than 8,000 years ago, and have gone through so many hardships and obstacles to achieve our current achievements. Now the human world and the heavens are in balance. I know your concerns. You think that the human world is weak, and the human race and other creatures in the human world are also weak. You are willing to help them, but isn't this also a tendency of power?"
A man who looked elegant began to persuade. In front of him sat a man who looked to be in his early thirties. He was wearing a robe, with his left leg crossed and his right leg on the ground. His wrists were on his knees and his head lowered. He did not speak and did not look at the man who came to persuade him.
The former sighed, speaking with a tone that came from the heart:
"You want the underworld and the human world to stand together, don't you?"
"But wasn't it agreed upon in the first year?"
"The affairs of the underworld should be handled by the underworld itself. If the underworld sides with the struggle between the six realms, one day, yin and yang will be reversed and things will lose their balance. Do you want to ignore the great catastrophe in the future when yin and yang will be disordered and all things will be in sorrow because of the current disaster in the human world?"
"Just focus on the present, regardless of how much impact your actions now will have on the future?!"
"You should understand Tai Su Miao Guang's choice."
"Good deeds will lead to rest."
Yin De Ding Xiu Zhen Jun finally responded and sneered, "I didn't expect that even you would come to persuade me."
"Bao Su Zhaocheng, do you think this is a move you can live with?"
"yes."
"You said, this is for the people on the side of the world?"
"nature!"
Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun raised his eyebrows: "Then in the third calamity era, the Northern Emperor Ziwei transformed into the Northern Yin Fengdu Emperor and opened up a lineage of city gods in the human world. He was also standing in the human world? So, for the so-called future calamity, he watched the ghosts in the human world scatter and cause harm everywhere?"
"Tell me, what is the calamity of the future?!"
"There is a City God Temple in the human world. The City God is in charge of the ghosts of a place. Does the City God have selfish motives? Does the ghost messenger have selfish motives? What if they extend someone's life for their own selfish interests? What if they take away someone's soul just because they don't like him?"
"What should we do about all these things?!"
Bao Su Zhao Cheng Zhenjun asked questions at every step.
Yin De Ding Xiu Zhen Jun laughed and said, "You will choke to death if you eat, so why don't you just not eat?!"
True Lord Bao Su Zhao Cheng was speechless for a moment, and True Lord Yin De Ding Xiu said coldly: "It's as if the ghosts and gods in the underworld of my netherworld have never made mistakes. If they make mistakes, there will be punishments waiting for them, but this does not mean that this is wrong. In the past, the Northern Emperor also had things to do with the city gods, and he also made mistakes, so there were 72 departments in charge of rewarding the good and punishing the evil."
"Why, do you think that Lord Beidi didn't consider these things back then?"
"Or do you already have specific clues and reasons why they would make a mistake, a serious mistake that would disrupt the order of yin and yang?!"
"Tell me, if what you say makes sense, then I agree with your opinion."
Bao Su Zhao Cheng Zhen Jun remained silent for a long time before he said, "The human heart is unpredictable and can change in an instant."
"Your goodwill and bravery for a while may turn into cowardice in the future. As for the reasons you mentioned..."
"Perhaps, there is no reason..."
"False accusation?"
Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, what a false accusation, what a false accusation."
"You said that people's minds are unpredictable and can change in an instant? I think it's you who have changed?!"
"Eight thousand years ago, you and I joined forces. We were not afraid even if Jade Purity Yuanshi Tianzun attacked us. In order to maintain the final conclusion of yin and yang, we were willing to pay the price of our lives. In just eight thousand years, when you began to face the calamity of the human world and the heaven, you became timid and started to take sides!"
"Is there something wrong with his City God system?!"
"False accusation, what a false accusation!"
"You think the human world is not worth your effort, right? But isn't it the netherworld and the netherworld that you and I maintain, the unity of yin and yang? Those who can maintain yin and yang should do it."
Bao Su Zhao Cheng Zhen Jun was so angry at what he said that he subconsciously retorted:
"I'm curious as to why you're standing on the human side!"
"Although the human world is big, how can it compare to the thirty-three-story heaven?!"
"Humans are short-lived and weak, but they are numerous. But aren't there more ants than humans? Can't they be crushed to death with just one step?"
"On one side are the human race, and the most they have are the Zhenjun who is revered as Zhenwu, and the extremely dangerous Fuxi. On the other side are the gods of heaven. We are the underworld, caught in the middle. Every step is difficult. If we take a wrong step, we will bring endless disasters. How can we not be careful? We must be cautious at every step!"
Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun said: "You have already said that it is [our underworld]?!"
Bao Suzhaocheng paused.
Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun looked at his former comrade-in-arms and said word by word: "Eight thousand years ago, we stood in front of Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun and said that one sentence, why are we fighting? Shouldn't it be--"
"The Yin-Yang order of the six realms?!"
"When did the principles in your heart and the reasons for your actions become the underworld of ours?"
"When did the underworld become yours?!"
"Are you rotten too? Zhao Cheng!"
This shout seemed to be directly questioning one's true heart.
Bao Su Zhao Cheng Zhenjun's expression suddenly changed, and then he suddenly flicked his sleeves and refuted in a stern voice:
"If the underworld doesn't exist, who can maintain the order of yin and yang?"
"If it weren't for us, who could have determined the distance between life and death!"
"It is precisely for the sake of the Yin-Yang order that we stand on the same front with the Heaven Realm!"
Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun said coldly: "Ha! You finally told the truth!"
With the confrontation reaching such a critical point, Bao Su Zhaocheng no longer tried to hide his true feelings and said:
"The heavens are powerful, what's wrong with that!"
"In this world, the strong prey on the weak. We who are standing here are not the strong, but the winners!"
Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun lazily said, "Humph, I am different from you." He leaned back and sat down. This action caused a series of chain whistling sounds. The Zhenjun's wrists, neck, and waist were all locked with chains. He sat cross-legged, supporting his chin with one hand, and said with a mocking smile:
"I will always stand on the side of the weak and the righteous."
Yin De Dingxiu lowered his eyes. Although he was captured because of his weakness, the contempt and mockery in his eyes were righteous. He sneered, "Evil demon!"
"Go away!"
Bao Suzhaocheng looked unhappy.
Finally left in anger!
…
The Ten Kings of Hell split up because of the catastrophe. Two of them were willing to continue maintaining the yin and yang balance of the human world as they had done in the past, while five of them were unwilling to make a choice. In fact, at this time, being unwilling to make a choice itself represented their choice.
Silence is also an attitude, a reaction of wanting to gain benefits but not wanting to bear the blame.
However, three of them chose to follow the heaven. After several quarrels, True Lord Tai Su Miao Guang suddenly attacked and captured True Lords Yin De Ding Xiu and Wu Shang Zheng Du, and also detained Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and Meng Po.
The underworld and heaven secretly join forces.
"What? Yin De Ding Xiu still refuses to obey..."
Tai Su Miao Guang Zhen Jun asked the question, and then he got the answer from Bao Su Zhao Cheng's face. He sighed and said calmly: "Yin De Ding Xiu is the one with the worst temper among us, so he called himself Yin De Zhen Jun. It's a pity. I thought that in the past eight thousand years, his temper had been restrained, and at least he understood the general situation."
"But I didn't expect it to be like this. It's regrettable and a pity."
Bao Su Zhaocheng said: "We are also for the underworld, for the Yin and Yang order of the six realms."
"The good deeds will end, he——"
He paused and said, "His vision is too narrow, and his understanding of the world still remains at 8,000 years ago. In such a long time, he has made no progress and cannot see the more distant future."
Chouguan Mingli Zhenjun said: "...One day, he will understand our painstaking efforts."
"The human race is arrogant and has teamed up with the ancient fierce god Fuxi. They refuse to obey discipline and education, and even dare to rebel against the order of heaven and earth, bringing endless wars and huge crises to the six realms."
"We gave him three days, but I don't think they would agree to it in these three days."
"We will dispatch many underworld officials in advance to capture these so-called little hairy gods."
"However, this Zhenwu does have some means. I don't know where he got the means to confer the divine power. Humph, it seems that this is the confidence to dare to resist the heaven. Should we write a letter and pass it to the Heavenly Academy so that the Great Heavenly Venerable can know this in advance?"
Zhenjun Chouguan Mingli paused and said, "Just think of it as doing it for the sake of the people and order of the six realms."
Tai Su Miao Guang paused and said, "... for the sake of the people, this is the way it should be. What's the point of just saying it in advance? It's better to wait until we join forces to break all the tricks of this beast, and then report this matter to the Great Celestial Venerable of Tianshu Academy. Only then can we be responsible for the people and have a complete conclusion."
"What do you two think?"
"The highest good."
"That's how it should be."
Tai Su Miao Guang, who was contemplating and understanding the principles, was silent for a moment.
Then he said: "It is for the common people, just as it has been in the past."
"Once those gods of incense and worship in the human world are captured, we will analyze them, figure out their methods, and then report them to the Tianshu Academy. As for Yin De Ding Xiu and Wushang Zhengdu..."
His voice paused.
The persistence of walking side by side together eight thousand years ago, the hardships of the underworld for eight thousand years, and the tranquility and beauty of heaven flashed before his eyes. He closed his eyes and clenched his fist subconsciously. After a long time, he let go and said calmly, "They are too stubborn. Let them go to reincarnation."
“After some experience, we realize our good intentions.”
Bao Suzhaocheng's expression changed slightly.
The body of a ghost or god, when knocked down from the cycle of reincarnation, is just like destroying one's cultivation, almost like being killed completely.
But he finally just said: "That's it..."
Just at this moment, in the far distance of the netherworld, there came another burst of extremely violent roaring sounds. The faces of the three Yama Kings suddenly changed, and someone cried out in surprise: "Oh no, Huang Quan, Huang Quan is moving again!!!"
"Unusual movements in Huangquan happen from time to time."
"Why are you so surprised?"
"No, it's different, this time it's different!"
The panic and fear of this ghost messenger made Tai Su Miao Guang Zhen Jun realize something.
They transformed into escaping lights and flew out together. Standing at the highest point of the city, they saw in the distance that Huangquan began to shake violently in an incomparable way. The Netherworld Water, one of the three major Xiantai water veins, seemed to be pregnant with something. The water level kept rising upwards. In the blink of an eye, it was higher than the city of the underworld!
Boom boom boom!!!
Countless amounts of Yellow Spring water fell.
Countless souls and ghosts fled in a panic, the earth trembled, and the red spider lilies danced wildly.
Prince Taisu Miaoguang stared at the front, holding the railing tightly with both hands: "This is, this is..."
Such a huge change in Huangquan brought back a forgotten memory of his. Under Huangquan was the city.
And it was able to cause such a big commotion in the entire Huangquan.
Could it be that——
boom!!!
The Yellow Spring water poured down, and the force of the water gradually weakened, revealing the building under the water. The iron-blue walls were cold, with ancient marks on them. The eaves were raised, as if a ghost was roaring, and countless bells were ringing, shocking the ghosts. It was a huge building with a circumference of 3,800 miles, comparable to the level of the Divine Thunder Palace.
Countless yellow springs fell from all directions of this supreme city.
Finally, a big gate appeared in front, a thousand feet high, just like the South Gate of Heaven.
But it is neither white jade nor gold, but dense green rock.
Below the doorposts on both sides, there are carvings of thousands of ghosts, all of which are as if suppressed by an immeasurable weight, howling and twisting. Above the huge door, there are huge copper rings on both sides. The door surface is densely packed with 180,000 white bone nails, exuding a murderous aura. All the water of the Yellow Spring has fallen down, revealing a plaque.
Three big words!
Like a shock, like a title, like an imperial decree, all ghosts howled, and the yin and yang were severed!
King Taisu Miaoguang looked extremely unhappy, and murmured:
【gate of hell】!
Eight thousand years ago, the world changed drastically. The Ten Kings of Hell abandoned Fengdu City and sank Fengdu City and the countless evil spirits in it into the underworld. Now, the Ghost Gate has reappeared, as if the nightmare from eight thousand years ago had reappeared here!
An existence that was betrayed by them eight thousand years ago.
Finally back.
boom!!!
The gates of hell opened wide, and in an instant, countless ghostly qi rose into the sky, and the murderous sound of armor was heard in the face.
The air was filled with dense yin energy, and the figures within it were shadowy.
There is a ghost with three heads and six arms, several feet tall, with a cold look and holding a gun in both hands.
The Lord of the Department of Suffering covered his face with a black awning, the Lord of the Department of Resurrection spoke in a grim tone, from left to right, the ghosts and gods were all wearing armor, from right to left, the Lord of the Yin was wearing a brocade robe, some had red hair and fangs and laughed loudly, some had handsome faces and unparalleled beauty, some were children joking, some were evil spirits glancing sideways, some were strong men who could hold up the sky, and some were cold and treading on cold springs.
Above the armor is a battle robe, with flying belts wrapped around the arms, heavy weights under the feet, and a jade belt around the waist.
There are many different facial appearances, and each has its own ranking for beauty and ugliness.
However, they all exuded a cold and brutal fighting spirit and murderous aura, and boundless evil spirit rose into the sky.
The chief officer of seventy-two departments!
All of them have fought to this point in the third calamity era. Due to their foundation, they are not True Lords, but they are all ultimate earth immortals who are not inferior to the Black and White Impermanence. Ten of them have even obtained the position of mountain god of the Taishan mountain system because of their participation in the calamity of the demon clan. After breaking through the barriers, they have become True Lords!
In front of them were two figures, with green faces and fangs, glowing red like fire, slightly swirling, and making sounds like thunder.
With three heads and six arms, he can smash the gates of hell with one punch!
Laugh out loud.
On his shoulders, there was a charming woman with soft and graceful eyes.
Two powerful energies shot up into the sky, both were at the imperial level!
Ten True Lords and sixty-two top earthly immortals.
And two Ghost Emperors!
The extremely dense Yin energy surged and rolled as it spread forward. The underworld was already an extremely deep place, but this deep Qi seemed to be even denser than the Ten Kings of Hell in the underworld. It seemed to pull them in and drag them into the infinite underworld!
The Northern Ghost Emperor has revealed his true form, laughing wildly, with eight thousand years of resentment already in his heart.
When the Emperor's decree came before, I thought only Fengdu City appeared.
So the ghosts took the order, and the Northern Ghost Emperor asked what the Emperor ordered them to do. The next moment, the Emperor's voice had already fallen. His words were concise and to the point, but they were enough to make the Northern Ghost Emperor's blood boil. If he still had blood now, it would definitely have been burning.
The order from Lord Taishan consisted of only four words.
"Head of the underworld."
boom!!!
The Northern Ghost Emperor suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed a mountain, and roared: "Hahahaha, come on!!!"
With the help of the city formation of the underworld, King Tai Su Miao Guang hurriedly confronted the seventy-two chiefs. Ordinary chiefs were no match for him, but the two Ghost Emperors brought him incomparable and huge oppression. After fighting for dozens of rounds, his anger grew stronger and his unwillingness became even greater!
I just had a chance, a chance to leave this underworld of eight thousand years.
Only then will you have the chance to go up to the ninth heaven and enjoy boundless tranquility. How can you sink into depravity?
How is that possible!
I won't give in! I won't give in!
With the help of the magical power of this place, King Taisu Miaoguang barely managed to neutralize the Northern Ghost Emperor's move. He then raised his hand, and a jade scroll appeared in his hand, emitting endless light. He shouted, "This is the decree of the Tianshu Court, the Great Justice Lord. You are acting rashly. Do you want to attack my heaven? Aren't you afraid of the heavenly soldiers' attack!!!"
"Northern Ghost Emperor, have you forgotten how terrifying the Heavenly Army is?!"
The sound is magnificent.
Having experienced the ancient times and knowing the terrifying 72 chief officials of the Heavenly Court in the early days, they were naturally a little afraid and hesitated for a moment. Only the Northern Ghost Emperor was reckless. However, when the huge stick was smashed down towards the city gate, he suddenly paused, but was a little worried -
If you act recklessly.
Wouldn't it bring trouble to the Lord?
As soon as the Northern Ghost Emperor stopped moving, the heads of the Seventy-two Departments naturally paused as well. In an instant, the situation seemed to come to a standstill.
In the human world, the Taoist who had comforted the old green ox lowered his eyes. He sat on a chair, the sun was warm, a cat stepped on his knees and stretched. The Taoist subconsciously scratched its chin, making the cat make a comfortable, purring sound.
"As expected... justice."
The Taoist lowered his eyes, his mind was vast, and he exchanged a moment with the incarnation of the god in heaven.
He used this body to suppress the fate of the human world, while Taiyi's body had already entered the underworld.
Prince Taisu Miaoguang breathed rapidly, holding the jade token, stepping into the void, shocking all around, and he breathed a sigh of relief, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, wanting to use this momentum to force Fengdu to retreat, and said: "Here is the decree of the Tianshu Court, retreat quickly!!!"
But at this moment, a stream of energy suddenly swept past.
King Tai Su Miao Guang's eyes blurred, and then his wrist hurt. The jade slip in his hand shattered into powder, cut his palm, and flew behind him. King Tai Su Miao Guang's pupils narrowed. The underworld was dark and endless. Suddenly, an object suddenly fell down and landed on the ground in the underworld. The earth trembled continuously.
The gods of the underworld looked at this and their expressions suddenly changed.
It turned out to be a scroll!
In Qi Wuhuo's hand was the copy of the Heavenly Book. At this moment, the scroll was like a huge mountain falling down, supporting the sky and the earth. King Tai Su Miao Guang slowly raised his eyes, looking at the seventy-two main envoys in front of him, looking at the two Ghost Emperors in front of him, looking at the majestic and pure Taiyin Qi rising from their bodies, dark and deep, stretching and changing, like a robe, like a sleeve.
And the sleeves are pointing upwards, to a high place behind Fengdu City!
A young man with a pale face and deep eyes lowered his eyes, he seemed to be sitting behind Fengdu City, his drooping sleeves were endless Yin Shen Qi, boundless and majestic, that kind of majestic aura pressed down, different from the domineering aura when he killed the Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi from a distance before, it was heavy, deep, and extremely restrained.
The chief officers of the seventy-two departments and the two ghost emperors saluted in unison.
Only Tai Su Miao Guang Wang and other eight Yama Kings stood in the air, watching with that deep and indifferent gaze.
This is……
Taishan, Lord of the House! ?
King Taisu Miaoguang paused for a moment and shouted hurriedly:
"We are the Yama Kings of the Ten Palaces, recognized by the six realms, promised by the Emperor of Heaven, spoken by the Taoist Ancestor, and respected by all the people!!!"
"This place is under the command of the Tianshu Court and the Great Lord of Justice. You cannot do this!"
"I have been recognized by Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun and I am in charge of all matters in the underworld!"
In one breath, he called out the names of those whose reputations shook the four quarters. The weight of these names was enough to move even the two Ghost Emperors. Their gazes and thoughts were all fixed on the towering Lord of Mount Tai.
The scroll slowly opened, one side was a jade axis, the other side extended to a very far place, seemed to be connected with the sky, seemed to turn into the underworld, floating uncertainly. The voice of the Lord of Mount Tai was indifferent, without the slightest ripple or fluctuation. The first words he spoke were a response to King Taisu Miaoguang, simple, direct, and overbearing.
The voice is indifferent and majestic.
And said: "Everyone..."
"Please get on the list."
