They are just spectators of heaven and earth.
He is the recorder of heaven and earth.
It is the existence that truly transcends every kind of dispute between heaven and earth.
However, their forgetful mentality, their detached 'observer' and 'recorder' mentality, was triggered when Lin Jiu's mood changed.
So much so that when they noticed Lin Jiuqian's anger, they actually made a mocking and provocative gesture.
You must know that such a reaction was something they had never had when the first Southern Ghost Emperor fell and was replaced by Nan Qingzi.
"It shouldn't be like this." Several ghost emperors once again reflected on their hearts, dissected their hearts and thoughts, and examined them bit by bit.
Finally, their eyes fell on the omnipresent mist of the netherworld.
"And how many creatures are there on earth today?" Another voice sounded.
This time, it was not several ghost emperors who spoke out in unison, but only a single inquiry from the central ghost emperor.
Even Lin Jiu couldn't help but be stunned by this question.
Between heaven and earth, the geometry of life.
Is this a question that a demon can answer?
Not to mention Lin Jiu, even if you call any living being in the world, it is impossible to answer this question.
Even though Empress Houtu is in charge of the Netherworld and holds the Book of Life and Death, which theoretically links the life and death of all living beings between heaven and earth, when faced with this question, she can only respond with one sentence: The number of living beings on earth today is immeasurable.
Or, when it comes to how many volumes of a certain type of creature there are in the current book of life and death...
At this time, the expressions of both Lin Jiu and Houtu Empress became solemn and heavy.
Times have changed!
Netherworld is the first line of defense for the ancient world and the many great supernatural beings in the world when facing Black Pangu.
It's like the huge dam at the front washed by the ocean.
Since the opening of Netherworld, this giant dam has been on the front line of blocking Black Pangu.
One year.
ten years.
century.
millennium.
Thousands of years.
Day after day, month after month, year after year.
Until today.
Since the Great Reincarnation of the Netherworld appeared, the souls and true spirits of all living creatures between heaven and earth will go into the Netherworld, leaving no trace behind.
Even the reincarnation of those with great supernatural powers is no exception.
Even in the ancient prehistoric era, the most brutal killings, the Lich War, resulted in countless casualties, and the world was almost shattered.
Even in the most mysterious catastrophe of killing gods and killing saints, the world was destroyed and then reshaped.
But even so, this line of defense called Netherworld is still indestructible.
The stability of Netherworld is evident.
But this impenetrable line of defense does not come without a price—the price is the ghosts and gods in the netherworld.
All living beings in the entire prehistoric world know that there is a Naihe Bridge in the Netherworld.
Mengpo soup on Naihe Bridge.
The soul that drinks Meng Po Soup will be cleansed by Meng Po Soup and completely freed from the fetters of life.
However, the original purpose of the creation of Meng Po Tang was not to make those souls give up their lives.
After all, under the great reincarnation of the Netherworld, all souls have been crushed cleanly. The so-called life and death have no meaning at all.
The real function of Meng Po Tang is to cleanse the soul and 'complement' the true spirit.
In the Netherworld, the first ghosts and gods are not the ghosts and gods that the practitioners became as a last resort after their 'failure' on the path of practice.
But after Hou Tu entered the Netherworld, some practitioners in the ancient world, adhering to the great wish, reversed the practice method of the Witch Clan, transformed their physical body and magic power into the soul, stepped into the Netherworld, and became Part of the netherworld.
Thus the first 'ghosts' were born.
The power in all living souls will circulate around these ghosts and gods in order to eliminate their connection with Hei Pangu and the information entrusted in them to be delivered to Hei Pangu.
These ghosts and gods rely on the balance between life and death. They are not immortal. Once they take action, they can directly trigger the cycle of life and death. For any existence under Taiyi, it is almost a crushing blow. .
But in the same way, when they are relying on life and death, these ghosts and gods also endure the erosion of life and death all the time.
Between life and death, but neither life nor death, and to a certain extent, connected to the underworld and facing Black Pangu, one can imagine the pressure these ghosts and gods are under.
This pressure is not just an impact on their minds.
It also destroys the essence of their true spirits - the source of their true spirits comes from the land of darkness and from Hei Pangu.
In the past, besides the true spirit, there were souls and spirits as barriers to separate living beings from the underworld.
But the spirits and spirits of those ghosts and gods are integrated into their souls. In this way, their souls are facing the pull from the underworld.
As they consume more information, the information hidden in their souls naturally becomes more and more 'tempting', and their true spirits will actively lead their reason closer to the underworld.
At this time, Meng Po Tang is needed to cleanse the information carried by these ghosts and gods, so as to repair their true spirits that were worn away when they resisted the pull of the underworld and the unconscious pressure of Black Pangu.
Later, some ghosts and gods suddenly discovered that this decoction to restore the true spirit, after being diluted, could directly perform a preliminary cleansing of the souls who entered the Netherworld, thereby greatly weakening the souls of the Netherworld in the great cycle of reincarnation. The information spread greatly reduces the pressure on the ghosts and gods.
So at this time, the thing 'Meng Po Soup' really appeared in the Netherworld, becoming a level that those souls must go through when entering the Netherworld.
Similarly, other 'facilities' in the Netherworld, such as the City of Death, Hell, Yinshan Mountain, etc., and even those ghost kings who have raised the banner of rebellion in the Netherworld to overthrow the underworld and reverse the underworld, in the final analysis, It's all to kill the 'information' carried by those souls, thereby weakening the pressure on the ghosts and gods of the underworld.
But that was before.
The situation at this time was just like the question asked by the Central Ghost Emperor.
How many creatures are there in the world at this time?
This question is not just about the number of living beings in the current world.
It is also the number of dead creatures in the current world.
It was the number of souls that poured into the Netherworld that day.
Times are different!
In the ancient times, how many creatures were there between heaven and earth?
In the past, although the number of creatures between heaven and earth was also measured in immeasurable quantities, the number of those creatures who perished at the same time was also controllable.
But what now?
