Chapter 62 Earth Transformation Reincarnation
Above the Netherworld Blood Sea, blood waves surged and resentment soared to the heavens.
Houtu, the ancestral witch, stood on the shore, looking at the filthy, chaotic, blood-red ocean filled with endless pain and wails before her. A deep sense of shock and unbearable sorrow was revealed in her compassionate eyes.
She could sense that every drop of this sea of blood contained countless shattered true spirits and resentful obsessions.
This is the wound of the primordial world, the final resting place for all negative emotions in the universe.
"So—it was all here."
Houtu muttered to herself, the inexplicable sense of mission in her heart growing stronger.
She seemed to understand the purpose of her trip and seemed to have grasped the path to her future.
Just as her mind was racing and she was about to enter some kind of profound state of enlightenment.
A detached and distant voice rang in her ears without warning, instantly waking her from her meditative state.
"Fellow Daoist Houtu, you've finally arrived."
"I have been here for quite some time."
Houtu felt a chill and suddenly looked up.
In the center of the sea of blood, a figure had appeared out of nowhere.
The man was dressed in a dark blue Taoist robe, standing with his hands behind his back, his feet resting on a twelfth-grade karmic fire red lotus. Although there was no fluctuation of magical power around him, he gave people a feeling that he was integrated with the entire sea of blood and was unfathomable.
It is none other than the true master of this Netherworld Blood Sea—Kunpeng!
"Kunpeng—the Demon Ancestor?"
Houtu's expression turned solemn, and she subconsciously adopted a guarded posture.
Although she disliked fighting, she knew that the man before her was a ruthless villain whom even her twelve brothers, working together, could not defeat.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be nervous."
Kunpeng saw through her thoughts and smiled slightly. There was no malice in that smile, but rather a knowing understanding that saw through everything: "You have come here today not to fight, but to seek the Dao."
"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. Fellow Daoist Houtu, your Dao resides on earth, not in witchcraft."
"Is it on the ground, or not in the hands of the sorcerer?"
Upon hearing this, Houtu's body trembled violently, as if struck by a thunderbolt.
She pondered those words repeatedly, and the last trace of confusion in her eyes suddenly cleared up at that moment!
Yes!
Although she was the ancestral witch of the earth and controlled the land, her heart was no longer attached to the endless racial wars.
What she seeks is to find a final resting place for the countless souls that have perished in this world! To mend the most important link in this broken world!
"I understand—I understand!"
Two clear tears streamed down Houtu's face; they were not tears of sorrow, but tears of joy after a profound enlightenment.
She bowed deeply to Kunpeng, her expression solemn and dignified: "Thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist!"
"I wish to use my own body to become a cycle of reincarnation, to create a place of rebirth for all living beings in this world!"
Kunpeng accepted the salute calmly, his expression serene.
All of this was part of his plan.
"Fellow Daoist Houtu possesses such great compassion and perseverance, which is truly a blessing for the primordial world."
"I am also willing to lend you a hand."
Kunpeng changed the subject, a shrewd glint in his eyes: "Reincarnation is no small matter; it requires an endless sea of blood as its foundation to bear the endless karma."
"I can borrow your Blood Sea Origin to help you transform into a being of reincarnation and complete the Earthly Dao."
"But there's no such thing as a free lunch."
"Now that the cycle of reincarnation has been established, the underworld must emerge. The authority of the underworld must be clearly defined between you and me."
Houtu was taken aback for a moment, then said frankly, "Fellow Daoist, please speak freely."
Kunpeng held up two fingers, his tone leaving no room for argument: "First, in the cycle of reincarnation, you are the ruler, but in the underworld, I want the position of the Great Emperor of Fengdu, to be your equal and jointly rule the netherworld!"
"Secondly, among the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Path of the Devas, the Path of the Humans, and the Path of the Asuras are under the control of my Asura clan! In other words, the Yin soldiers of the Underworld, as well as the reincarnation of the Asuras, Ghosts, and Animals, are all under the jurisdiction of my Demonic Cult!"
This statement is nothing short of outrageous.
This is practically transferring half of the future underworld's power and fortune to his own name!
Houtu frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Although she was compassionate, she was not foolish.
She knew that once she agreed, the tunnel would no longer be under her sole control, but would become a situation where she and Kunpeng jointly governed it.
But she had no other choice.
Without Kunpeng's approval and the assistance of the Blood Sea Origin, she would not have been able to accomplish this feat of reincarnation.
"Can."
Houtu pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.
"But I also have a wish."
Houtu raised her head, her compassionate eyes filled with a hint of pleading: "After I was reborn into the cycle of reincarnation, I was no longer the Ancestral Witch. The great calamity of the Witch and the Demon is ordained by Heaven, and I am powerless to reverse it."
"I only ask that you, fellow Daoist, lend a helping hand to protect my Wu clan in this time of crisis, and preserve the last bloodline of my Wu clan."
This was the last thing she did for her people as the ancestral witch.
"good."
Kunpeng looked at her and nodded solemnly, "I swear by the Great Dao that as long as your Wu Clan exists, I will protect your Wu Clan's bloodline from extinction!"
"Thank you, fellow Daoist."
Houtu smiled with relief.
She took one last, deep look in the direction of Buzhou Mountain, as if bidding farewell to her past.
Then, she took a step and arrived above the sea of blood.
"The Great Way is above!"
"Now there are descendants of Pangu, the ancestral witch Houtu, who feel that heaven and earth are incomplete, all living beings are suffering, and their souls have nowhere to go."
"I wish to transform my ancestral witch form into the six realms of reincarnation!"
"The realms of gods, humans, asuras, animals, hungry ghosts, and hell!"
"The cycle of six realms of reincarnation, here we come!"
"From this day forward, all living beings in heaven and earth will have a place to belong!"
The moment the words fell, Houtu's enormous ancestral witch form disintegrated!
It transformed into endless laws of the earth and the mystical light of creation, merging into the Netherworld Blood Sea below.
At the same time, Kunpeng also made a move!
He drew upon the essence of the Blood Sea and, in conjunction with the power of Houtu's laws, created six enormous, bottomless vortexes at the deepest part of the Blood Sea.
"Boom—!!!"
The entire primordial world was trembling violently!
Above the heavens, blood rained down, and heaven and earth grieved together.
This is a tribute to the passing of a top-tier talent.
However, immediately afterward, an immeasurable amount of merit, several times larger than that of Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones when they became saints, poured down from the depths of the Heavenly Dao like a golden ocean!
Houtu transformed into the cycle of reincarnation, thus completing the laws of heaven and earth; this is an unparalleled merit!
The golden sea of merit split in two in mid-air.
Seventy percent of them fell into the newly formed Six Paths of Reincarnation, condensing into a compassionate and solemn female deity, Lady Pingxin.
Although she possesses saint-level strength, she is bound by the Heavenly Dao and can never leave the Underworld.
The remaining 30% fell directly onto Kunpeng, who was protecting the Dharma!
Although he did not physically reincarnate, he dedicated himself to the sea of blood and assisted the Earth Goddess, thus accumulating great merit.
"What immense merit!"
Feeling the terrifying energy that could instantly transform any quasi-saint into a saint, Kunpeng's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
He could sense that, if he wished, he could use this merit to merge with the golden wheel of merit that had already solidified behind his head, forcefully break through the shackles, and attain the position of the Primordial Merit Saint!
Although his strength ranks at the bottom among the Heavenly Saints, he is still a Saint after all, and his power will never be diminished.
This is the destination that countless living beings have dreamed of.
However, Kunpeng merely gave a cold laugh.
"Achieving sainthood through merit? That's nothing more than being a puppet of the Heavenly Dao, how could it be something we seek?"
"Give me the town!"
Instead of absorbing it, he used the power of the Thirty-Six Heavens to forcefully suppress this enormous merit and integrate it all into the Golden Wheel of Merit behind his head!
"Buzz—"
—
After absorbing 30% of the merit of reincarnation, the purple-gold wheel of merit almost transformed into a purple-gold sun. Dao patterns flowed on it, making it sacred and inviolable. The pressure it emitted even made the newly born Empress Pingxin take notice.
"He... he actually gave up on becoming a saint?"
A hint of shock flashed in Empress Pingxin's eyes.
Having done all this, Kunpeng did not linger in the underworld.
He nodded slightly to Consort Pingxin as a greeting, then turned and stepped back into the deep and secluded Beiming Kunpeng Palace.
He needs to go into seclusion immediately!
Having just witnessed Houtu's transformation into the cycle of reincarnation, and the evolution of the laws of heaven and earth, and the supreme mystery between life and death, he gained a completely new understanding of his own laws!
