"'Ten Halls of Hell', 'Eighteen Layers of Hell', 'Impermanence of Life and Death', 'Ox-headed Horse Face', 'Five Ghost Emperors'..."
Each of them is a name that I have never heard of before, but it is extremely loud.
The word "ghosts and gods" made an impression on the minds of all living beings in the three realms for the first time.
Everyone present felt excited when they heard it, as if they were seeing a huge world view slowly being established. Being able to witness the creation of such a world with their own eyes, or even become a member of it, made them feel excited.
"One of the ten kings of hell belongs to me, please don't compete with me!"
"One of the prison lords of the eighteenth level of hell, I, Jiuyou, are going to be married!"
"The impermanence of life and death is not bad, the bull-headed and horse-faced face seems a bit stupid..."
"I don't know who among the five ghost emperors can be qualified?"
People from Dazhou, Jiuyou, and Buddhism all looked at Yang Gang with burning eyes, as if to say: Choose me! Choose me! If they can achieve great success in the Netherworld in the future, everyone must owe Yang Gang a favor.
But how insignificant is a favor compared to the future of the road?
Rumble~~
There were bursts of thunder and flowers falling from the sky.
Golden and peaceful light fell like raindrops.
Everyone bathed in the golden raindrops and felt refreshed, their cultivation had further improved, and their foundation was solid. But most of the golden divine light actively poured into Yang Gang's body.
Golden light shone all over him, just like the heart between heaven and earth.
"What's this?"
Everyone subconsciously stretched out their hands to catch the petals falling from the sky.
The word "merit" automatically appeared in everyone's mind.
"Merit?"
Everyone still doesn't know why.
What exactly is this 'merit' golden light? What does it do? And why did it appear at this critical moment when the underworld was first established?
they do not know.
Yang Gang didn't know either.
But top practitioners like him, Ksitigarbha Patriarch, Jiuyou Demon Lord, and Great Zhou Shenjun, as well as many immortals and gods with advanced cultivation outside the Three Realms, all feel that at this moment, the world of the Three Realms... has changed. .
The rules of heaven and earth are changing, and the process of heaven and earth returning to ancient times has accelerated countless times in an instant.
But everyone clearly feels that the world in the future will be somewhat different from the world in ancient times...
Their eyes couldn't help but focus on Yang Gang, who had received the most golden light of merit.
"Fellow Taoists."
Yang Gang spoke slowly: "Yang boldly speculates that this golden light of merit may be related to the future cultivation and enlightenment. Nowadays, practitioners all achieve enlightenment based on their fate, but the gradual rise of the immortal way can give all living beings the opportunity to become immortals. "
"All living beings in the three realms have been evolving for eternity, and the heaven and earth are naturally evolving as well. The creation of the underworld represents the establishment of order and the progress of civilization. But cultivating immortality is not a path that everyone can take."
"The Great Dao is fifty, Tianyan is forty-nine, there will always be a glimmer of hope left."
"Perhaps the way of ghosts and gods in the future will be a way of survival for those without qualifications, an unprecedented way of practice."
"And merit... is the foundation of the cultivation of ghosts and gods. Its specific role still needs to be explored slowly by us."
"The order of reincarnation and the justice of heaven and earth produce this golden light of merit."
"We are promoted to be the first batch of beings established in the underworld, and we contribute to the judgment of heaven and earth. We spontaneously drop the golden light of merit to help us practice..."
Looking at Yang Gang, who was standing in the underworld and slowly explaining his understanding, everyone seemed to see an ancient sage explaining his understanding of the way of heaven and earth.
'Principle', 'Tao' and 'Li' are not born in the world, but were discovered by sages and saints one after another.
And now.
As the first creatures to exist when the underworld was founded, they may have to bear that responsibility.
There is no unwillingness in anyone’s heart.
This is a major event that will be recorded in history in the future!
The turning point of the new three realms is today!
"Okay, let's talk about how to form the underworld."
Yang Gang changed his tone, as if he didn't care about the glory, and began to talk about the specific matters of the establishment of the underworld.
"When the underworld was first established, I suggested building a road for the orderly reincarnation of living beings based on the natural terrain evolved from ancient times, such as the Eighteen Levels of Hell, Naihe Bridge, Huangquan Road, and the Styx River."
"I would like to ask everyone to understand one thing clearly. The creation of the underworld is not for personal profit, nor does it exist to obtain the powers of the Ten Palaces of Hell, Five Directions, Ghost Emperors, etc. It is to build a path for the order of heaven and earth and the reincarnation of all living beings."
"The candidates for these positions still have a long way to go..."
Listening to Yang Gang's sincere words.
"yes."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
No matter what they think in their hearts, they must support the mainstream in the face of righteousness.
Yang Gang now has absolute power in Jiuyou, and no one dares to disobey his will.
Time passes day by day.
The construction of the underworld is in full swing.
The three parties of Dazhou, Jiuyou, and Buddhism worked together to build ten huge palaces on the ten directions of Jiuyou Underworld, responsible for welcoming and judging the souls who first entered the underworld.
Then the eighteen levels of hell were established.
Huangquan Road, Naihe Bridge and other places also exerted corresponding effects one by one.
One month later.
Jiuyou began to take shape under the magic of a group of immortal gods.
Two months later.
The three parties elected the kings of hell of the ten palaces and the lords of the eighteen prisons. The Jiuyou clan sent countless ethnic groups to intersperse among them and became the jailers of each palace - bull-headed and horse-faced ones.
Many ghosts and gods of the Great Zhou Shinto were entrusted by the Immortal Dynasty and entered the underworld to become ghosts and gods. They connected Yin and Yang with their Shinto bodies, exercised the power of life and death, and became "Bai Wuchang".
Buddhism also sent out many virtuous monks, who were called "Black Impermanence" with their souls.
The balance of power between the two parties is in line with the meaning of 'justice' in the merits of heaven.
The Patriarch Ksitigarbha sits below the 18th floor, observing the punishments of hell with Buddhist benevolence, and the mirror hangs high.
At Yang Gang's suggestion, the Jiuyou clan all moved to the Styx River and changed their name to the "Shura clan", trying to separate the cause and effect of the past and turn their feud with the human clan into friendship.
at last.
Only the position of the Five Ghost Emperors remains unresolved.
It’s not that the Great Zhou Dynasty, Buddhism, Jiuyou, Yaozu, and Immortal Dao didn’t recommend candidates, nor is it that someone was obstructing it and trying to gain benefits. But every time the parties have just announced a candidate, thunder will fall from the sky and chop the person involved into pieces.
Fortunately, some people only suffered minor injuries, while others, like the 'Hundred-Eyed Demon Saint' launched by the demon clan, were directly chopped into ashes, without even their souls remaining.
Before he died, he shouted arrogantly: "My virtue is not worthy of me!"
For a while.
All parties are afraid, and the selection of the Five Ghost Emperors has been temporarily suspended.
Some people speculate that this may be the way of heaven and earth. The selection of ghost emperors from the five directions will be promoted from those who have meritorious deeds in establishing the underworld, so as to show the justice of heaven.
This raises another question.
In this era when the way of heaven does not exist, why is there the golden light of merit manifesting? Could it be that... the heaven and earth have not completely returned to ancient times, and the power of heaven has been secretly revived? Just not controlled by anyone yet?
