Chapter 501: The Iron Rule of the Mountain and Sea Gods
All ghosts and gods, whether they are from the Huangquan clan or from the sea of red spider lilies, must personally go to the mountain and sea realm.
This is not a clear regulation, but an unspoken rule in the underworld.
This unspoken rule originally came from the tradition that the Huangquan clan would reincarnate into the Mountain and Sea Realm every once in a while.
In fact, this tradition was originally intended to solve the problem of Huangquan people's personality breakdown due to their long-term stay in the underworld.
Afterwards, at the suggestion of Dou Mu Yuanjun, the Mother of All Stars, the Goddess of Death agreed to allow the Huangquan people to go to the Mountain and Sea Realm for vacation every once in a while to relax and regain their humanity.
When more and more ghosts and gods appeared in the underworld, this tradition originating from the Huangquan tribe naturally became the unspoken rule of the ghosts and gods.
After all, ghosts and gods are not real gods.
It is impossible to stay in the underworld for a long time and still maintain the integrity of one's personality.
Whether it's the nature of the work or the atmosphere of the netherworld...
In this process, ghosts and gods will gradually lose their humanity and become truly cold-blooded and heartless ghosts and gods.
This is obviously not what the Goddess of Death and the Lords of the Underworld want to see.
What they intended to cultivate was never the kind of "heartless god" who regards all living beings as ants.
Even so, there are still ghosts and gods who cannot stand the boring life in the underworld and choose to escape from it.
At this time, it is the turn of the Judge of the Underworld, Shen Tu, to appear.
He will personally go to the Mountain and Sea Realm to capture and even kill those rebellious ghosts and gods in order to maintain order in the Yin and Yang worlds.
However, except for those ghosts and gods who rebelled.
Shen Tu is often also responsible for monitoring the ghosts and gods who normally go to the mountain and sea world.
Different from those ghosts and gods who have lost their humanity or are completely out of control.
These normal ghosts and gods go to the mountain and sea world to cultivate their emotions and to regain their humanity.
Especially for newly born ghosts and gods like E Kui, they often don’t have much of a stance on good or evil, and just want to do whatever they want.
Only ghosts and gods who have traveled through the world of mountains and seas and regained their humanity are qualified to be regarded as true [ghosts and gods of the underworld].
Only the true [ghosts and gods of the underworld] will be given corresponding responsibilities by the goddess of death and the kings of the underworld, and then embark on the path of becoming true gods.
In other words, not only Ekui, but also Huan Gou who transformed into a nine-eared dog is also one of the candidates for the [ghost god of the underworld].
In the process of chasing each other, they will gradually regain their former humanity.
When Ekui and the Nine-eared Dog are able to empathize with all living things, Shentu and Yulei will appear and lead them back to the netherworld.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Yunmengze is located between the wilderness and forests.
The banyan trees that form a forest are a wonder here, and the huge banyan tree in the center of the forest is the elder of this area.
Because its body is so huge, the entire Yunmengze is built on its roots, and this place has been specially designated as a restricted area by the Shanhai Civilization.
Just like those areas where there are a large number of epic creatures living.
In today's Yunmengze, Grandma Banyan is the real ruler of this area.
No creature living here, even if it is a true god who has successfully ascended to deity, can hide from the perception of Grandma Banyan Tree.
Therefore, when the evil monster appeared in this forest, Grandma Banyan was the first to discover its existence.
"A newborn ghost?"
With just one glance, the knowledgeable Grandma Banyan Tree identified the identity of the evil Kui.
The demon-slaying sword in his hand is a standard item for demons and gods, and his indifferent and unruly aura shows the evil Kui's position...
This is a newborn ghost, a ghost who has not yet regained his humanity.
"Did you just come out of the 'gates of hell'?"
"Gate of Hell" is a fixed location in the underworld and one of the Nine Hells and Nine Springs.
However, in the world of mountains and seas, the "Gate of Ghost" can be seen everywhere and is a moving spatial coordinate.
Whenever there is a soul heading towards the underworld, the "Gate of Ghost" will appear and guide those souls to the underworld.
Only those evil ghosts who refuse to go to the netherworld will attract the intervention of the Huangquan clan or the netherworld ferrymen, forcing them to enter reincarnation.
"Shan Hu, a ghost has appeared in your territory."
After pondering for a moment, a human face emerged from the huge banyan tree in the center of Yunmengze.
The voice of Grandma Banyan Tree successfully attracted a congenital god with a fox head and a human body. It was the mountain god of Mount Peng.
"As long as you are sure it is not too dangerous, guide it to a nearby city!"
In response to the words of the banyan tree grandma, the mountain god named "Shanhu" responded.
"Okay, grandma!"
But after saying this, Shan Hu couldn't help but look hesitant.
"Grandma, do you need me to notify everyone in advance?"
Although he is the mountain god of Pingpeng Mountain, Shanhu is not the only innate god of Pingpeng Mountain.
In addition to Shanhu, the mountain master, Pingpeng Mountain also has corresponding innate gods such as the river god, wind god, and land god.
There is also a settlement of mountain and sea people at the foot of Pingpeng Mountain, where civilized gods such as door gods and kitchen gods are also worshipped.
"That's not necessary. It's just a newborn ghost."
The face on the banyan tree shook slightly, and Grandma Banyan said in a calm tone.
"The ghosts and gods from the netherworld have their own supervisors. If they get into trouble, the gods will take care of it."
After a slight pause, Grandma Banyan Tree continued to add.
"This ghost god came to the Mountain and Sea Realm to cultivate human nature, so don't do anything that might anger him."
"They are now doing whatever they want without restraint. You just need to protect yourself."
Hearing this, Shan Hu didn't say anything else. He nodded, turned around and disappeared from the sight of Grandma Banyan Tree.
Rustle...
Gently shaking her branches, the face of the banyan tree lady merged back into the trunk.
However, the banyan tree lady was constantly monitoring Evil Kui's every move through her roots that spread throughout the Yunmeng Lake.
If it dares to do anything that harms Yunmengze, Grandma Banyan will not care about the unspoken rules of the underworld.
The unspoken rules of the underworld are just the unspoken rules of the underworld.
The gods of the mountain and sea world have their own order.
In the world of mountains and seas, whether it is a demigod or a true god, while possessing power and authority, one must also assume corresponding obligations.
——Faith cannot be spread at will.
——We cannot interfere with civilization at will.
——You cannot kill living beings at will.
These are the three iron rules that all gods in the mountain and sea world must abide by, and they are also the tacit understanding between the mountain and sea civilization and the mountain and sea gods.
