Chapter 492 Twin Blossoms
The netherworld is also known as the underworld and Hades.
This is the world where the dead reside and where countless souls are reincarnated.
In the center of the underworld, stands the altar of reincarnation built by the goddess of death herself.
The deity of the goddess of death is enshrined there, and it is the central core of all matters related to the cycle of life and death.
With the Altar of Reincarnation as its center, the Forgotten River flows freely throughout the entire underworld, and old temples are located at every node of the Forgotten River.
Around these old temples, various ships operated by the Huangquan Clan shuttled through the Wangchuan River, escorting different souls to different places.
Although it is still not as good as the mountain and sea civilization in the material world, the Huangquan tribe has also developed a prosperous spiritual civilization.
In the underworld, the most basic concept of matter does not exist, and spirituality is the essence that dominates this world.
In this situation, how to change the form of spirituality and how to nurture stronger spirituality are the mainstream of the world's development.
As a life form nurtured by spirituality, the Huangquan clan possesses the ability to control spirituality.
Especially after the Goddess of Death popularized the method of [exorcising gods and controlling ghosts], the Huangquan clan became a clan of ghosts and gods in the true sense.
Each member of the Huangquan tribe has a different appearance...
Each member of the Huangquan tribe possesses different abilities...
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that those strange-looking individuals were actually of the same race.
In fact, the origins of these Huangquan people are actually different.
Except for the first batch of evil spirits born from the body of the Banshee of Ominousness and Forgottenness.
The Huangquan people who appeared later were either natural-born ghosts and gods who were enlightened and nurtured by the [Method of Exorcising Gods and Controlling Ghosts], or individuals transformed from powerful souls in the Mountain and Sea Realm who were unwilling to enter the cycle of reincarnation again.
The former is easy to deal with, as they were basically brought up step by step by the previous generation of the Huangquan clan, and can be considered a legitimate direct descendant.
But the latter is different.
Before they became the Huangquan Clan, they already had their own opinions on good and evil, and they certainly could not be as impartial and fair as the real Huangquan Clan.
For this purpose, the goddess of death specially set aside a "forbidden zone" in the deepest part of the underworld to house those powerful souls.
It is well known that the Netherworld, as a part of the Mountain and Sea Realm, carries the soul reincarnation mechanism of the Mountain and Sea Realm, but is not responsible for punishing good and evil, or distinguishing between good and evil.
Compared to other mythological systems in the heavens and the world, the underworld hell is specially used to distinguish and deal with evil souls.
All living beings in the Mountain and Sea Realm know that the only criterion used by the Netherworld to determine whether a soul is eligible for reincarnation is whether the soul had a strong obsession during its lifetime.
As for their beliefs and good and evil deeds in their lifetime, neither the Creator nor the Goddess of Death cares.
The previous life is the previous life, and this life is this life...
No matter how ignorant or paranoid the people of the mountains and seas are, they will not regard the individual after reincarnation as their future self.
In the concept of Shanhai civilization, the individual after the soul is reincarnated is only the continuation of his own life, not the continuation of his own thoughts and will.
Just like those offspring who inherit your genes are merely the continuation of your bloodline.
If we talk about the relationship of closeness, the offspring who inherited one's bloodline may be closer to oneself than the individual after reincarnation.
Under the guidance of such concepts and ideas, it becomes natural that some souls whose obsessions are strong enough to break free from the cycle of reincarnation are unwilling to be reborn.

The deepest part of the underworld, where the flowers of the other shore bloom.
This is a huge sea of flowers, a forbidden place where datura and red spider lilies bloom.
The former is the white flower of the other shore, and the latter is the red flower of the other shore.
In this dimension and world where there is only spirituality, the white mandala symbolizes the pure soul, while the red mandala symbolizes the unwilling obsession.
It is in this restricted area specially designated by the goddess of death that the Mandragora and Lycoris radiata grow in harmony with each other.
Because there are pure enough souls and unwilling enough obsessions here.
Every datura and every red spider lily here is nurtured by a powerful soul full of unwillingness and persistence.
The number of Datura and Lycoris plants here represents the number of powerful souls that were once buried here.
Only when one's own obsession is completely cleansed, will a ghost or god worthy of being called "Yellow Spring Clan" be born.
However, since more and more gods of mountains and seas have returned, those powerful souls have rarely appeared here.
Because the Mountain and Sea Realm has developed to this point, those powerful souls have either reincarnated into demigods who can ascend to the throne, or are enlightened people with the qualifications for sudden enlightenment.
They may have obsessions and regrets, but they will never let themselves stay in the underworld.
Perhaps for other races, the Huangquan people, who are immortal and can freely choose reincarnation, are a gifted race and are favored by the goddess of death.
However, in the eyes of powerful souls who are qualified to ascend to the throne of God, the existence of the Huangquan clan cannot even be considered an intermediate transition.
The Huangquan Clan is naturally one material dimension less than the life forms in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
This means that their possibilities and routes to becoming gods are less than those of ordinary people of the mountains and seas.
This is an unacceptable "flaw" for any aspirant who aspires to become a god.
As time went by, it seemed that even the underworld had gradually forgotten about this place where the flowers of the other shore bloomed.
Until recently, when a demigod-level soul fell into the underworld with strong reluctance and obsession, the Huangquan clan once again focused their attention on this place where the flowers of the other shore bloom.
In the center of these daturas and red spider lilies, a pair of twin red spider lilies are in full bloom.
On the left is a white mandala, and on the right is a red Lycoris radiata.
This pair of twin-blooming red spider lilies are obviously larger than other red spider lilies, and they are still continuing to absorb the power of the underworld and the River of Oblivion to grow.
Twin red spider lilies are actually not rare.
However, it is rare to see such large red spider lilies that are about to bloom in pairs.
Looking at the history of the underworld, all the ghosts and gods born from the twin flowers of the red spider lily eventually became subordinate gods under the goddess of death.
Some gods with extraordinary talents would even be given the power of death by the goddess of death and become her subordinate gods.
Considering that the goddess of death herself possesses the authority of "immortality" and "immortality".
Becoming their subordinate god, sharing their authority, and not having to worry about sudden death one day is the blessing that the Huangquan people have always dreamed of.
The only question is, will this yet-to-be-fully-bloomed flower give birth to a ghost or god of that level?
