The underworld is the world of the dead. After death, the souls of all the dead will naturally be summoned from the dark and come to the underworld.
The underworld is the institution that governs the netherworld. It judges the sins and merits of the deceased ghosts during their lifetime and determines their blessings and karma in the next life.
All living beings in the world, including demons, monsters, plants and spirits, cannot escape the cycle of life and death.
However, when Fang Xiu arrived here, the scene he saw was not like this. The sky was filled with howling souls of the dead, sweeping across the sky like a storm. They were the souls of the most basic plant elves and ordinary creatures in the animal realm. Most of them had incomplete three souls and seven spirits, and only had one main soul or even the main soul was incomplete.
The shadows of Fang Xiu and Heisha appeared in the underworld. His white robe fluttered as the wind blew in the underworld. "Finally, it looks like the underworld."
The land was barren, with hideous sharp hills and stone pillars rising from the ground one after another, and a dark and murderous atmosphere filled the entire world.
The number of gods continued to increase, not only in Dongzhou Dahuan there appeared many earth gods and water gods, mountain gods, city gods, and river gods.
There were also people in Nanzhou who ascended to the throne of god, although they called themselves the God of the Earth of Mount Oros, the God of Ferry, the Water Fairy, etc., names that made Fang Xiu feel a little awkward.
However, it is essentially a part of the underworld. Fang Xiu is too lazy to care about such things and lets it develop. Moreover, as the creatures in the mountain and sea world become more and more powerful and more and more numerous, one underworld will definitely not be able to control and manage the reincarnation of all creatures. The four continents and the underworld under their respective jurisdictions will definitely be handed over to the gods of the underworld who follow the path of gods to manage.
As for Yin Tianzi, the lord of the underworld, he only needs to grasp the final stage of reincarnation. Fang Xiu will not care what other underworld offices are called, such as Hell, Hades, Five Ghost Emperors, Ten Kings of Hell, etc.
By then, the tasks of summoning souls, judging, erasing past life memories and managing the souls of the dead in the world of the living and the underworld will be carried out by the underworld officials. They will hold the duplicate volume of the Book of Life and Death and operate according to the rules set by Emperor Yin.
In the end, only one main soul was left, which gathered at Yin Tianzi, the lord of the underworld, and entered the reincarnation platform for reincarnation. This is the most critical place in the entire underworld, which is controlled and managed by Yin Tianzi.
Therefore, the enthronement of the mountain gods, water gods and earth gods is only the first step in opening the underworld. If there are people who are willing to follow the path of gods, they can naturally climb up step by step, and even compete for the position of the emperor of the underworld.
As the number of gods of the earth continued to increase, the underworld also continued to expand. The power from the world of the living penetrated into the underworld, and the underworld continued to expand. It has now become a vast earth with no end in sight from an isolated island at the beginning.
The souls of millions of demons and monsters gathered under the Ghost Gate, forming a line with no end in sight. Among them were the common people of the Dahuan Dynasty, nobles, and monks. One could see royal nobles wearing luxurious silk robes, or ragged common farmers. Even the souls of monks emitting a faint spiritual light were following the line and walking forward in a daze.
There are also pale white soul shadows transformed from demons in Dongzhou and Nanzhou, and even quite a few people in the real world can be seen mixed in with them. They are wearing clothes that are very different from those in the Mountain and Sea Realm, and can be identified at a glance, but at this moment they are just like the creatures in the Mountain and Sea Realm, waiting to enter reincarnation.
No matter how noble they were in their past lives, whether they were the ruler of a country, enjoying all the royal power and wealth, or they were monks and witches with all-powerful means who regarded all living beings as ants, they were all here at this moment, waiting for the judgment of the underworld.
The tall Ghost Gate rises straight into the dark sky and storm. One cannot see the top when standing underground. It is like a huge natural barrier. On the top, one can vaguely see an upright plaque with three big characters "Ghost Gate" written on it. The plaque emits light that suppresses the souls of all the dead.
It has a main gate and two auxiliary gates. The deceased goes up the stairs, passes through the Ghost Gate, and reaches the Yellow Springs Road.
Fang Xiu led Heisha through this desolate land of the underworld and arrived in front of Guanmen Pass, passing along the Yellow Spring Road.
Heisha kept turning his head and squinting his eyes to look at the vast number of dead souls, which occupied the entire field of vision, stretching from the gates of hell to the end of the sky: "There are too many ghosts here!"
Heisha pointed at several ghosts standing on the steps of Ghost Gate and were about to collapse: "Look at these ghosts. Their Heaven Soul, Earth Soul and Seven Spirits are about to disperse. They must have been waiting in front of Ghost Gate for at least several decades."
Fang Xiu led her forward and said, "Because the underworld hasn't officially started operating yet, there's no time to deal with the large number of dead souls!"
"This is the center of the underworld, the core of Yin Tianzi City and the underworld."
"Besides this place, in the distance, where the evil spirits of Dahuan gather, there is also an emperor's palace. Emperor Longqiu is there. Most of the ghosts and dead in the Dahuan royal area are judged by Emperor Longqiu and finally come here to be thrown into the reincarnation platform. Otherwise, there would be more ghosts to be seen here."
"There are ghosts here who are not managed by the underworld, so they come directly to the center of the underworld, the underworld of Yin Tianzi City, to reincarnate."
What Fang Xiu said was the truth. When the Mountain and Sea Realm was first established, there were only a few mountaintops and islands, and most of the creatures there were ordinary, unintelligent beings, so reincarnation was simple and easy to operate.
Now, with the expansion of the Mountain and Sea Realm to this extent, the underworld has only one lord of the underworld, Yin Tianzi, plus the later arrival of Emperor Longqiu. How can they operate such a huge underworld reincarnation system
This is why Fang Xiu is so anxious to promote the Yinsi Divine Way. With the increasing number of living beings in the Mountain and Sea Realm, intelligent beings, powerful cultivators, demons, and monsters are everywhere. Without a perfect reincarnation system, there will be big chaos.
Fortunately, the entire underworld has been established to accommodate these dead souls, and they can be dealt with slowly. Otherwise, if the tens of millions of dead souls on this earth were left in the human world, the entire human world would probably be in chaos.
The Yellow Springs Road is full of red spider lilies. The bright colors dye this road to the underworld red like blood. When the flowers bloom, they seem to be accompanied by the sound of death bells.
Ghosts walked side by side on the road, accompanied by the sounds of flowers blooming.
Going further, you will see the Santuo River. The water of the river is blood-red, rolling down like a mighty river. In the river, you can see billions of lonely souls flowing in it accompanied by bits of spiritual light. Those are the souls of the most numerous unintelligent creatures or the spirits of plants and trees in the world.
There is a Naihe Bridge on the river, but there is no Meng Po.
After crossing the Naihe Bridge, there is a huge white jade stone on the river bank, with three large blood-red characters on the back that read "Sansheng Stone".
Every wandering ghost passing by here can see the scenes of his life reflected on this stone. The Three Lives Stone illuminates his past and present lives, and records his merits, demerits and sins.
Walking across the Evil Dog Ridge, passing through the Golden Rooster Mountain, and passing by the Wild Ghost City, these important underworld hubs are all vacant, with no underworld gods controlling them.
Heisha followed Fang Xiu as he passed by, constantly exclaiming: "It looks so authentic, how come it's all empty!"
Fang Xiu immediately said, "So we don't have enough manpower! What do you think? Are you willing? You can choose any priesthood you want."
"Tsk! If it was the Emperor of Heaven I would have agreed reluctantly, I might as well go back to playing games!"
Finally, Fang Xiu and Heisha saw the grand Yin Tianzi City, where millions of dead souls were slowly stepping into it, accepting the judgment of Yin Tianzi, and finally jumping off the reincarnation platform and entering reincarnation.
Ending one's own life, burying all causes and effects, merits and demerits.
After Fang Xiu reviewed all the details of the underworld, he walked through the bronze palace and stood next to Yin Tianzi on it in a few flashes. Yin Tianzi raised his head, and a white spiritual fire flickered in his gloomy skull. A bone claw stretched out from under the emperor's crown and handed the Book of Life and Death to Fang Xiu.
