Chapter 137 Three Lives, Three Worlds, Southern Beginning 19
The words "奈何" (Nai He) are carved on the side of the bridge. The three levels of the bridge become increasingly dangerous as you go down.
The wandering souls of the mortal world are drawn to the underworld by its emergence. Those who did good deeds in life walk on the upper red bridge, those who were both good and evil walk on the middle dark yellow bridge, and those who did evil walk on the lower black bridge.
There was a blurry figure on the Bridge of Helplessness, which looked like the legendary Meng Po.
The Ruoshui River on the stele has become the Wangchuan River.
The unusual behavior of the Ruoshui River attracted many gods and immortals, but since Donghua and Moyuan were ahead, they could only wait silently behind and watch.
In an instant, a group of huge buildings emerged from the River of Oblivion, with inscriptions such as the Hall of Yama, the Hall of Reincarnation, the Palace of Purgatory, the Pavilion of Treasures, and the Hall of Judgment.
The ten people, each with a unique and grotesque appearance, possessed fierce features but were filled with righteous merit. They were all highly cultivated and could not be underestimated.
A man with leopard eyes, a lion's nose, a long beard, a square crown, and a ceremonial staff held to his chest in his right hand stepped forward and said in a majestic voice, "Nan Chu of the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest, you have unsealed the Underworld. The Underworld has petitioned the Heavenly Dao to grant you great merit."
As soon as she finished speaking, a beam of light descended from the sky and landed on Nan Chu.
Nan Chu felt a warm sensation in her body. This time, she had accumulated more merit than she had accumulated five or six times. Indeed, the merit accumulated in the era of cultivation was greater.
Bai Zhi, Bai Zhen, Bai Qian, and others arrived. Seeing the Heavenly Dao bestowing merits, Bai Zhi's eyes revealed jealousy and hatred.
Bai Zhi had meticulously planned for so many years, yet in the end, he couldn't even compare to the merits of a mere ghost.
Now that Nan Chu has become a favorite of Heaven and is protected by Heaven, it will take a long time to completely eliminate her.
Bai Zhi concealed the emotions in his eyes, while Bai Qian didn't care at all. She was now the Princess of Qingqiu, and everyone in the entire world called her "Auntie".
"All gods and immortals of the four seas and eight wastelands, from today onwards, the Underworld will be in charge of the merits, grudges, reincarnations, and so on in various places. No race shall use any means to interfere in the affairs of the Underworld."
The Heavenly Dao bestowed a decree upon the Underworld, thus granting the Underworld power.
After everything was said, the underworld slowly sank into the River of Oblivion. The Bridge of Helplessness connects the underworld with all the worlds, including the demon realm, the human realm, the immortal realm, and the four seas and eight wastelands.
After this grand event ended, Zheyan, Donghua, and Moyuan had a lot to say to Nanchu, but the timing wasn't right.
Those around them wanted to ask what had happened to Emperor Donghua.
Nan Chu nodded and said softly, "Let's talk about it when we get back to Kunlun Mountain."
The gods quickly left the River of Oblivion, and the surrounding immortals followed suit as well.
The Heavenly Lord, on the other hand, looked dejected. Kunlun Mountain had just produced a Heavenly Lord who was ordained by the Heavenly Dao, and his position could be replaced at any time.
The underworld, which governs reincarnation, has also emerged, further dispersing the power of the Celestials. Although the reincarnation is managed by the Taichen Palace of Donghua, the Taichen Palace is also part of the Celestials.
The Heavenly Emperor immediately sent Lian Song to Kunlun Mountain to gather information.
Bai Zhi also sent Bai Zhen and Bai Qian to Kunlun Mountain to inquire about matters concerning the Underworld.
Nan Chu briefly explained how to cooperate with the Heavenly Dao, how to collect fragments of the Underworld Key, and how to open the Underworld, among other things.
Zheyan said with a solemn expression, "You did all this without telling us. Don't you trust us?"
Nan Chu was a little confused. How did this get to this?
Nan Chu lowered her head, carefully choosing her tone, and said, "It's not that I don't trust you, it's that Heaven has arranged for me to complete the mission, so I dare not make a fuss and slowly complete the mission. With the Underworld, whether you are a god, demon, monster, or human, as long as you have merit, you can be reincarnated."
Donghua said, "Before the Father God and Mother Goddess fell, they discovered that the Heavenly Dao of the Four Seas and Eight Desolations was incomplete. During the Great War between Gods and Demons, Shaowan thought that the Dao of the human world was incomplete, so she sacrificed herself to perfect and isolate the human world. She never expected that it was because the underworld was missing."
In the middle of his speech, Donghua paused for a moment, glanced at Mo Yuan, and then continued.
Zheyan sighed, "If there had been an underworld back then, perhaps Father God, Mother God, Shaowan, and others would have all been reincarnated."
Nan Chu thought of something and said, "Now that the Underworld has emerged, the Heavenly Dao is slowly awakening. The Heavenly Dao will gradually settle accounts with the Celestial Clan, the Winged Clan, the Nine-Tailed White Fox Clan, and so on. You should see what you have done over the years. If the matter is too serious, you should try your best to make amends, otherwise you may suffer the fate of having your soul scattered."
Zheyan smiled and murmured, "Purge? This deity only stopped wars with war in ancient times. The Nine-Tailed White Fox Clan has schemed so much, the Heavenly Dao will not let them off the hook first."
Nan Chu looked at the silent Mo Ze and said, "Mo Ze, when you transformed, forty-six five-colored birds appeared. The Heavenly Dao will soon issue a decree to appoint you as the Heavenly Lord and give you control over the Heavenly Clan."
Mo Ze said with great interest, "I already knew that when I was reincarnated in the mortal realm, the Heavenly Dao would add some trials to temper my primordial spirit."
Mo Yuan raised an eyebrow, thinking: Heaven had already made plans. If Mo Ze hadn't chosen the first path, it would have been much more difficult for him to become the Heavenly Emperor.
Nan Chu didn't say anything more to them. The Celestial Clan sent their Third Prince, Lian Song, in, and Bai Zhen brought Bai Qian in. The Bird Clan, the Fish Clan, and others also sent people to Kunlun Mountain.
She really disliked dealing with these people, and they probably gave Donghua and the others a headache.
Zheyan and Donghua briefly discussed the underworld, saying that its emergence was a result of the awakening of the Heavenly Dao, but they did not mention the role of Nan Chu.
The emergence of the underworld caused quite a stir throughout the four seas and eight wastelands.
A few years later, the Heavenly Dao descended again, decreeing that Mo Ze of Kunlun Mountain become the Heavenly Lord of the Heavenly Clan. The original Heavenly Lord was naturally dissatisfied, but what could he do? Did he want his son to inherit the position of Heavenly Lord?
With Donghua and Moyuan in command, Moze's ascension to the Heavenly Emperor did not cause much unrest, and Moze gained control of the Heavenly Clan's power.
Seeing that the succession of the Heavenly Clan's Heavenly Lord was perfectly completed, the Heavenly Dao began a purge, unleashing divine punishment upon the four seas and eight wastelands. First, Cizheng (the former Heavenly Lord) of the Heavenly Clan was struck by three bolts of lightning, while Lian Song and Yang Cuo were each struck by one bolt of lightning.
The Celestials were punished to varying degrees, as were the Winged Clan and the Demon Realm.
Donghua, Moyuan, Zheyan, and Yaoguang were all punished, with Donghua receiving the most blows.
After Donghua was struck by lightning, the Three Lives Stone, located next to the Execution Platform, transformed into a high god, residing in the Marriage Palace and in charge of all marriages in the world.
The most shocking case is that in Qingqiu, Bai Zhi was struck by forty-nine bolts of lightning, turning him into a three-tailed white fox, losing his divine cultivation and being demoted to an immortal.
Ning Chang was split into a five-tailed white fox, and her cultivation level became that of a goddess. Bai Qian had committed too many sins, harming both the human world and the gods, and was split into a three-tailed white fox, unable to even maintain her goddess cultivation level.
The other Qingqiu gods all became gods. Bai Fengjiu, due to Bai Zhi's scheme, became a five-tailed red fox. Only Bai Zhen was alright, maintaining his cultivation as an immortal.
The Nine-Tailed White Fox of Qingqiu is a thing of the past, and Qingqiu no longer has any gods. However, Qingqiu controls five of the four seas and eight wastelands. Will other races let the Qingqiu White Fox go?
A major riot broke out in Qingqiu. Bai Zhi and his group abandoned the other four wastelands and barely managed to occupy one-third of the territory in the Eastern Wasteland through the strength of Bai Zhi and Bai Zhen.
The White Fox Clan has many foxes, and they used to have a lot of territory. They might not see each other for years. Now they live in one place, but their territory is small, so they fight over territory every few days. Sometimes they even fight over a little bit of cultivation resources.
