In the underworld, endless power poured into the netherworld, illuminating the originally dark and gloomy underworld as if it were daytime. The gray clouds and dark fog that had been wandering in the sky of the underworld for tens of millions of years were all stirred up and dispersed.
Countless souls roared out from the Netherworld, circling in the sky in panic. As white light surged from the ground of the Netherworld, the earth was split into many parts.
Each city of the Emperor of the Underworld was separated and each palace of the Lord of the Underworld was shrouded by the laws of heaven and earth, forming a ball of light.
At the same time, Yintianzi City, which suppressed the entire underworld, flew out of the earth and headed towards the underworld sky.
"Hurry to Yintianzi City!" Emperor Dongyang boarded the dragon horse chariot and, driven by several gods, hurried to Yintianzi City in the hope of meeting Yintianzi. Even if he couldn't, he could at least learn something from the chief judges of various departments.
“The whole world is collapsing, but every cracked land is protected by the laws of heaven and earth, and no living creatures and the order of the underworld are harmed. This is not an accident, it must be the action of Emperor Yin!” Above the oldest imperial city, thousands of gods of the underworld followed Emperor Longqiu into the sky. Emperor Longqiu looked extremely calm and blurted out.
Then, several ghost dragons roared out, pulling the dark golden emperor out. The oldest emperor of the underworld walked slowly through the shattered land protected by the laws of heaven and earth, heading towards Yin Tianzi City.
"Hurry up to Yintianzi City. The great changes in the underworld must be related to our past." Emperors from other parties, the Jellyfish Dragon King of the Netherworld also went out one after another, and even the Ten Kings of Hell rose up together.
These emperors had heard something long ago that great changes would take place in the underworld and that all immortals and gods would have great opportunities, but the rulers of the various places did not know about this. They were all panicked and could only follow the emperors' chariots and quickly drive the ghostly bronze chariots towards the Yintianzi City in the sky.
Although the rulers of various places did not know what had happened, they could guess something. Such sudden changes in heaven and earth must be caused by something happening in Yin Tianzi City. Moreover, such a pre-arranged situation must have been done by Yin Tianzi. This high and mighty existence, whose status was only second to the Emperor of Heaven, had been silent for who knows how long, and then made a move that shocked the entire Three Realms.
The Netherworld today is much larger than the Netherworld of thousands of years ago, because the Netherworld is mostly illusory, condensed from incense and formed by the resentment and hatred of dead ghosts and monsters. As the creatures in the mountain and sea realms become more and more prosperous, the caves in the upper realm are revived one by one, and each cave is a small world. Many worlds even have mortal dynasties, tens of millions of intelligent creatures and vast lands and oceans. The master of a realm has the same power as the Taoist ancestor or the Heavenly Venerable.
This resulted in countless lives gathering in the Netherworld after death, and the Netherworld became larger and larger. The emperors who originally controlled the reincarnation of the human world in the Mountain and Sea Realm later opened up one after another. In order to maintain the reincarnation order of these cave worlds, Yintianzi City conferred a large number of underworld lords. Most of these underworld lords were ghost immortals who had achieved success in cultivation. As the underworld became more and more prosperous, more and more people took the path of ghost immortals.
In the future, as more and more Taoist temples are established outside the domain, there will surely be more and more underworld masters in the underworld, and each of them will be in charge of the reincarnation of a palace.
However, compared with the authority of the Lords of the Underworld and the Emperors of the Underworld, their divine status and authority are far inferior. An emperor who controls the endless reincarnation of all living beings in heaven and earth is nothing but a low-ranking immortal, and the judge of Yintianzi City is even lesser-ranking immortal.
As for those lords who govern a star palace, they are not even gods.
However, this is also related to the fact that the underworld is not a complete world and the world's laws are seriously lacking. Such a world with all incomplete laws can only accommodate lower-grade immortals, first-class gods and inferior gods of the underworld. The laws themselves are not enough to provide for many ghosts and immortals to prove their way.
Many underworld emperors, palace lords, and gods flew toward the sky, caught up with the rising Yintianzi City, and stopped before the Ghost Gate, with mountains in front and a bronze temple standing at the highest point.
"Everyone, look? What's going on down there?" The Ten Kings of Hell stood together. The King of Hell among them quickly noticed the area below and suddenly pointed downwards.
"The world is being torn apart. The laws of the world are changing!"
"Emperor Yin is stirring up the laws of the Dao, so it is manifested in the world. The level of his magical powers is simply unimaginable!"
When the gods of the underworld looked down, they could see that the original netherworld had been completely split into pieces, revealing the terrifying void below the netherworld.
The power from the sky of the Netherworld was constantly infused in, the void of the Netherworld became larger and larger, the barriers of the world continued to thicken, and fierce gale was born.
And after the world barrier was derived, it was not over yet. The folds of space extended into the world, splitting the entire underworld into layer after layer.
One after another, the emperor's cities floated up to the first layer, and then the surrounding land continued to grow. Black mountains, turbid yellow springs, a real earth was born and evolved from the void. Strange demons, creatures, and plants unique to the underworld continued to emerge on it.
And a large number of souls are thrown into the six realms of reincarnation. These people may be reborn into the human world in the mountain and sea realm, or they may be reincarnated into the upper realm of caves and heavens, or even onto Earth.
There are also some beings who are born with great merits and live in accordance with the great principles of heaven and earth, but they also fall into the six realms of reincarnation.
The same is true for the palaces of the Lords of various places. The land beneath each palace of the Lords of various places continues to expand, forming a huge floating island continent, and then sinks to the lower layer. The palaces of the Lords of various places are ranked according to their merits, with the higher ones on the top and the lower ones on the bottom.
Seeing this scene, many gods of the underworld guessed something.
"In the future, the Emperor will live in the Netherworld, and the Lords of the Palaces will each open a Netherworld and preside over the reincarnation of the palace realm." Emperor Changyue, wearing a white dragon crown robe, touched his beard and said to the Jellyfish Dragon Lord standing beside him.
“The Netherworld is even more vast, and the area of the underworld that the Lord of the Mansion presides over is not small either. He is in charge of a small reincarnation area, and is considered an important god in the underworld.” Emperor Longqiu also said.
Emperor Dongyang said solemnly, "The underworld of that Lord is a small world of its own, but it is ranked according to the size of merits. If one has great merits, I am afraid that the underworld will have another title."
Everyone was discussing and speculating on the reasons for the changes in the underworld this time. At this time, Emperor Longqiu discovered something: "No! When did the power of the underworld's laws become so obvious? Can it be sensed directly?"
All the emperors and ghost immortals can feel that the power of the laws of the entire underworld is constantly increasing, and has even reached a level that they can directly perceive. You know, it was extremely difficult for them to comprehend the laws before. The underworld cannot comprehend the great way of heaven and earth, and they cannot directly observe and sense the stars to comprehend the great way like the human world. They can only rely on various other means.
And now they can directly comprehend the great Dao of heaven and earth in the underworld, but the great Dao of heaven and earth in the underworld is different from the great Dao of the human world and the upper realm. Most of them tend to be about the six realms of reincarnation, the underworld, life and death.
Many gods of the underworld were waiting in front of the Ghost Gate. Qingyang, who had just become the judge of the Merit Department, led many underworld god riders, the Divine Fire Cloud, descended from the sky, and stood in front of the emperors of the underworld.
"The Yin Emperor's divine decree! Summon all the Yin Emperors, Palace Lords, and Yin Gods from all directions to the Yin Emperor's Palace for an audience!"
