Chapter 116: Hou Tu Niang is halfway to heaven, and Nu Wa Niang can no longer sit still

"Are you willing to become the master of the underworld in this world and take on the responsibility of the underworld?"

There was even a tone of severity in Hou Tu Niangniang's words.

Being the Lord of the Underworld is not only an authority, but also a responsibility.

As the lord of the underworld, it is his responsibility to ensure order in the underworld and that the six realms of reincarnation function normally.

If it were like the underworld in this world, people would either be just sitting there doing nothing or abusing their power for personal gain.

This is absolutely impossible.

The Queen Mother Hou Tu gave Nie Xiaoqian an opportunity to become the lord of the local government and to manage the six powers.

But it also means that this is a responsibility, an unprecedented responsibility.

Nie Xiaoqian also understood this. She took a deep breath and said respectfully to Queen Hou Tu, "I do."

This voice not only means taking over the rights of the Lord of the Underworld, but also means assuming the obligations of the Lord of the Underworld.

The Queen Mother Hou Tu nodded, and the Judge's Pen and the Book of Life and Death appeared in her hands.

This is the incarnation of the Judge's Pen and the Book of Life and Death in the ancient underworld.

The Judge's Pen and the Book of Life and Death in this world have been lost. What the judges of the underworld used later were the ones they had forged themselves, which were not powerful enough.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the gods and ghosts in the underworld do not take any action.

But this is definitely not an excuse for these ghosts and gods in the underworld to abuse their power for personal gain.

The six realms of reincarnation are so important in the operation of the world that no mistakes can be made.

Empress Hou Tu looked at Nie Xiaoqian and said, "Nie Xiaoqian, as the Lord of the Underworld, you should be selfless and fulfill your duties. Don't forget your responsibilities because of personal desires or feelings. Do you understand?"

One of the destiny lines on Nie Xiaoqian's body is actually about love.

That is why the Queen Mother Hou Tu issued such a warning.

Talk about love?

The Lord of the Underworld cannot have any private feelings.

This is just like the laws of heaven.

Once a god develops a private relationship and gives rise to selfish desires, it is a very scary thing.

The key is that if the gods can handle their personal affairs and the relationship between their duties well, it will be fine.

More people will give up their responsibilities for personal reasons.

This is something that Hou Tu Niangniang would not allow.

Nie Xiaoqian also said seriously again, "Follow the teachings of the Queen Mother Hou Tu."

"After you become the Lord of the Underworld, you must promptly select the ghosts and gods of the Underworld and re-establish the order of the Underworld so that all the ghosts in this world have a place to go and can enter the six realms of reincarnation."

Queen Hou Tu looked at the scene of this world and gave Nie Xiaoqian a few words of advice.

Because of the inaction of the underworld, many ghosts in this world have not entered the six realms of reincarnation.

There are many extremely vicious ghosts, including a thousand-year-old ghost king.

He should have gone to the eighteen levels of hell to atone his sins, but instead he has been bullying others outside.

The underworld order of this world has been completely disrupted.

The authority and prestige of the underworld had long been lost due to the various manipulations of ghosts and gods in the past.

People don't trust the underworld.

However, those former ghosts and gods in the underworld did not think about the fact that the underworld was recognized by heaven and earth, and had the same legitimacy as heaven.

The legitimacy of the underworld comes from the recognition of heaven and earth, and also from the recognition of all spirits in heaven and earth.

Once all the spirits in the world lose their trust in the underworld, the authority of the underworld will no longer exist.

The underworld will eventually become no different from other forces in this world.

In this way, one day, the underworld will be completely destroyed.

As the new Lord of the Underworld, the first thing Nie Xiaoqian has to do is to restore the authority of the Underworld.

Let all the ghosts wandering in this world return to the underworld.

Let those evil spirits and the thousand-year-old ghost king all receive the punishment they deserve.

After saying this, Queen Hou Tu prepared to leave.

But the many ghosts and gods from the former underworld who had been watching nearby could no longer sit still.

Didn't you two directly appoint the new Lord of the Underworld and place us, the Lord of the Underworld, there?
You guys just want to reappoint new ghosts and gods in the underworld, so what about us ghosts and gods?

"Wait, who are you? We are from the underworld, and we are still here? What bullshit are you talking about?"

"Yes, the ghosts and gods of the underworld are us. Do you need to accept your fate?"

"You are too ignorant. Believe it or not, I will send you directly to the eighteenth level of hell."

These ghosts and gods from the underworld accused and cursed Hou Tu Niangniang.

How can anyone just take away their positions as ghosts and gods in the underworld? What kind of explanation does this mean?
Nie Xiaoqian looked at these ghosts and gods from the underworld and felt that they were very brave!

As the creator of the six realms of reincarnation, Hou Tu Niangniang certainly has the right to deprive any ghost or god in the underworld of his or her position.

What about these villains who are just sitting there doing nothing and abusing their power for personal gain?
That is to say, in the great catastrophe that year, all the powerful ghosts and gods in the underworld died in order to resist the catastrophe.

Only then can they take advantage of the opportunity to steal the authority of the underworld.

The Queen Mother Hou Tu turned her head and looked at these former ghosts and gods of the underworld, and said coldly, "You will deprive the ghosts and gods of the underworld of their authority. Those who have committed serious sins will be thrown into the eighteen levels of hell."

As Hou Tu Niangniang finished speaking, those former ghosts and gods from the underworld who had sins and karma were directly thrown into the eighteen levels of hell.

Those who hold office but do nothing will lose the authority in the underworld, while those who work diligently and do not go along with the corrupt will still control the authority in the underworld.

In the future in the underworld, these ghosts and gods will naturally be able to be reused by the new lord of the underworld, Nie Xiaoqian.

After doing all this, Queen Hou Tu left.

Nie Xiaoqian became the new lord of the underworld.

The first thing Nie Xiaoqian did after becoming the Lord of the Underworld was to switch to the path of ruthlessness.

The path of ruthlessness does not mean sealing off love or disregarding relatives.

The way of ruthlessness is a kind of great love, great love for all living beings, great love for the heaven and earth.

Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs. This is the cruelty of heaven and earth.

Nie Xiaoqian was afraid that she was not capable of being the Lord of the Underworld, and that she would abuse her power for personal gain in the future because of personal feelings.

So she switched to practicing the ruthless way without hesitation, not giving herself the slightest chance to make mistakes.

Then Nie Xiaoqian began to cleanse the human world, capturing all the vicious ghosts and thousand-year-old ghost kings, and then leading those wronged souls into the six realms of reincarnation.

At the same time, Nie Xiaoqian also began to look for some people with great merits and souls in the world to become ghosts and gods in the underworld.

Under the leadership of Nie Xiaoqian, the world gradually returned to its original state.

Originally, this world was almost heading towards extinction and destruction.

But because of the coming of Hou Tu Niangniang, the world came back to life.

In the wild world.

The aura of Queen Hou Tu became increasingly stronger.

She travels among the heavens and myriad worlds, establishing the six realms of reincarnation for countless worlds.

The six realms of reincarnation in countless worlds strengthen her own authority over the six realms of reincarnation and her own authentic authority.

At the same time, the merits of all the heavens and worlds are added to her body.

The enormous amount of merits directly enabled this Queen Hou Tu to break through.

It turned out that she had already reached the state of great perfection of a saint, and it could even be said that she had the aura of the heavenly realm, which could be called half a step to the heavenly realm.

Hou Tu Niangniang is a saint with great merits.

When he escaped from the cycle of reincarnation, he accumulated a lot of merit.

Now, walking in the lower worlds governed by the Heavenly Court, the six realms of reincarnation have been established.

Therefore, she has already accumulated a lot of merits, which gave her sufficient foundation.

It is precisely because of this that Hou Tu Niangniang has reached the state of sainthood and has the aura of a half-step to the heavenly way.

Queen Hou Tu was above the thirty-third heaven, and a hint of her aura of half a step to heaven leaked out of her body.

All the saints couldn't help but pay attention to it.

This time, the saints were truly crazy.

Since attaining sainthood, the saints have been trying every possible way to break through to the realm above sainthood.

Not to mention breaking through to the realm above Saint, they haven’t even found the path above Saint.

In other words, the Taoist Hongjun demonstrated a path to the Heavenly Dao to all of them, which is the harmony of heaven and earth.

There is only one person who can unite the heaven and earth. Daozu Hongjun has already united the heaven and earth, and he has blocked this path.

So this road is basically blocked.

The saints cannot see the hope of breaking through to become more saintly, cannot see the direction of breaking through to become more saintly, and cannot see the way.

In such a long time, let alone breaking through to the level of a saint.

Many saints couldn't even feel the increase in their strength.

All the saints began to doubt whether their realm would always stagnate at the saint level.

The saints plot against each other and calculate their fortunes, all for that glimmer of hope of breaking through to become saints.

Even if they don't break through, at least they should feel the increase in their own strength, right?

Unfortunately, after such a long time, there is still no hope.

Many of the saints have become numb, or even hopeless, but now they see hope.

The holy aura from the saints continued to burst out, and they all looked towards the thirty-third heaven.

"Hou Tu? Above the saints?"

Taiqing Laozi couldn't help but stand up, his eyes solemn and filled with a sense of disbelief.

"Is it really a realm above that of a saint? Above that of a saint is the realm of the Way of Heaven."

Taiqing Laozi could feel the aura that was higher than that of a saint from that energy.

That kind of aura made him feel a sense of pressure.

It was this kind of pressure that made Taiqing Laozi even more certain.

Even if Hou Tu Niangniang has not yet broken through to the realm above saints, she is not far away.

You must know that Taiqing Laozi is one of the Three Pure Ones and is the most powerful among all the saints.

Among the saints, who can make him feel pressure?

But now, Laozi Taiqing felt pressure from that breath, and felt the breath that was above that of a saint.

“Maybe I haven’t broken through to the Heavenly Dao realm, but at least I have taken a half step forward in the realm of Saints, and I am not far from the Heavenly Dao realm.”

There was an unprecedented envy in Taiqing Laozi's eyes.

"I didn't expect that among all the saints, it was Daoist Fellow Hou Tu who took this step first."

Taiqing Laozi sighed and said, "Perhaps, it won't be long before I can no longer call you fellow Taoist."

"But it is understandable that Fellow Daoist Hou Tu was able to take this step first."

In the past, the Taoist master Hongjun was preaching in Zixiao Palace, and three thousand mortals gathered there.

Most of these three thousand mortals later became famous masters of great supernatural powers, such as the ancestor of the Styx and the immortal Zhenyuan.

Some also become saints, such as the saints of heaven today.

However, the Twelve Ancestral Witches did not attend the sermon in Zixiao Palace.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches were born proud and only respected Pangu, the Father God, but not Hongjun, the Ancestor of Taoism.

They believed that Daozu Hongjun was just a thief who stole the world of Father God Pangu.

So they were naturally unwilling to go to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Taoist Master Hongjun’s teachings.

Hou Tu Niangniang is the only saint who did not listen to the Taoist Hongjun's teachings on the way of saints in the Zixiao Palace, but traveled around the ancient world and comprehended the way of saints on her own.

From this we can see how amazingly talented Hou Tu Niangniang was.

Instead, it was those saints who had listened to the teachings in Zixiao Palace at that time who obtained the Hongmeng purple energy.

He merged with the Hongmeng purple energy, took the back door, and became a saint of the Heavenly Dao.

But the shortcuts I took in order to gain temporary benefits have now become shackles.

It is even more difficult for these saints to break through to the next level.

Taiqing Laozi saw another point.

The fact that Hou Tu Niangniang is now able to take a step forward in the realm of a saint is inseparable from her own amazing talent.

But at the same time, did Heaven also play a role in this?

The Three Holy Emperors of the human race, the Patriarch of the Styx, and Zhen Yuanzi were all able to attain sainthood because of Heaven.

For such a long time, since the seven saints returned to their positions, no one has ever been able to attain sainthood.

He established a connection with the heaven and became a saint.

Needless to say, the role played by the Heavenly Court in this is beyond words.

And what about Hou Tu Niangniang?

Does it really mean that if Hou Tu Niangniang takes half a step forward, she has nothing to do with the Heavenly Palace?
Taiqing Laozi expressed great doubt.

However, this made Taiqing Laozi very excited.

As expected, he was not wrong. Heaven could indeed help them break through to a realm above saints.

Fortunately, he was decisive at the beginning and joined the Heavenly Court a long time ago.

The Queen Mother Hou Tu was able to take that step with the help of Heaven.

He is so clear that I can definitely do it too.

At this time, Taiqing Laozi even wanted to move into the Heavenly Palace as soon as possible to consult the Emperor of Heaven.

Patriarch Tongtian looked at the aura of Heaven above the thirty-three heavens.

The ancient murderous aura was reviving behind him. It was the aura of the Zhu Xian Sword.

"The Heavenly Dao realm?"

Master Tongtian closed his eyes and murmured to himself, "It's almost there! It's almost there!"

Inside his body, the sealing shackles of the Fallen Saint Pill were being constantly eroded by the killing power of the Immortal Execution Sword.

Yuanshi Tianzun was also standing in the land beyond heaven, his eyes were extremely complicated, and no one knew what he was thinking.

This former leader of the Chan sect kept running during the Conferred God Tribulation and finally won the victory in the Conferred God Tribulation.

Who would have thought that the fruits of victory would eventually be stolen by the two saints from the West.

A large number of disciples of the Chan sect fled to the Western sect, and became the basis for the two Western saints to rebel against the Xuanmen lineage and establish Buddhism.

You can say that this Yuanshi Tianzun has no respect for his dignity, bullies the weak, and is despicable and shameless.

But no one can deny that he did everything he could.

During the great catastrophe of the Conferred God Tribulation, he protected his disciples.

Almost no disciple of the Chan sect made it onto the list of gods during the Conferred God Tribulation.

All this is not because the disciples of the Chan Sect are highly skilled, but simply because they have a good master.

If it were you, would you rather have a master like Tongtian Jiaozhu, or a master like Yuanshi Tianzun who really gets things done?
However, even so, after the Conferred God Tribulation, many of these disciples of the Orthodox School fled to the Western School.

After the Conferred God Tribulation ended, the Jie Sect was reduced to ashes.

However, the Chan sect seems to be only in name.

Yuanshi Tianzun took a look and closed his eyes, seemingly without any emotional fluctuations.

As for the two saints of the West, they are now only feeling more and more anxious.

How come the world situation changes so quickly?

Originally, after the Conferred God Tribulation was over, wasn't it the time for their Buddhism to flourish?
But now the situation in this prehistoric world is changing too fast, so fast that they can't react.

Taoist Zhunti said to Taoist Jie Yin jealously, "Brother, Hou Tu actually took a step forward."

"Yes."

The Taoist Jie Yin only answered with two words, his heart filled with sorrow.

For other saints, they can continue to try to break through to the realm above saints.

But for them now, they don’t even have the qualifications to reach a level above Saint.

The first thing they had to do was to repay the loan from heaven and earth.

What they are facing now is that they don’t even have the ability to repay their loans.

Before repaying the loan to Heaven and Earth, it was pure wishful thinking for the Two Saints of the West to want to break through to a realm above Saint.

Therefore, at this time, all the Taoist Jie Yin and the Taoist Zhunti could do was to envy.

They simply had no alternative.

Let’s talk about the last saint, that is Nuwa.

In this ancient world, there are only two female saints.

One is Nuwa, and the other is Hou Tu, and both of them have become saints through their merits.

Hou Tu Niangniang created the six realms of reincarnation and made great contributions to all living beings in the entire prehistoric continent.

The goddess Nuwa first created the human race and then repaired the sky with her bare hands, which also shows great merit.

He has made great contributions to the human race and to the entire prehistoric world.

Nuwa and Houtu were like two lotus flowers competing with each other on the ancient continent. They chased each other and finally became saints one after another.

Hou Tu Niangniang took a step forward among the saints, which made Nuwa Niangniang somewhat uneasy.

There was a slight hint of impatience on the holy and elegant face of Nuwa.

"Has Hou Tu taken that step yet?"

Nuwa has always been an extremely indifferent person. It can be said that there are very few things in this world that can affect her emotions.

Nuwa created the human race, but she always believed.

The general trend of this world has its own laws of operation. If the human race wants to grow, it can only rely on itself.

Naturally, we will encounter many difficulties and obstacles along the way.

Therefore, during the Lich Era, when the witch-slaying sword calamity occurred, Nuwa did not intervene.

During the time of the Conferred God Tribulation, if Emperor Xin had not been so audacious, she would not have interfered.

In the prehistoric continent, unless there is a great catastrophe in the world, like when Gonggong angrily crashed into Mount Buzhou, Nuwa would take action.

Nuwa would not intervene in ordinary matters.

She is a saint of merit and has great love in her heart.

But her great love is not only for the human race, but also for all living beings in the world.

In her eyes, there is no difference between humans and the prehistoric creatures.
