Chapter 270 Nether World
After the meritorious people are canonized, the remaining divine positions are basically low-level ones, which can just be granted to the meritorious people in the Dragon Realm.
It has been hundreds of years since Ao Bing left Longyu.
After hundreds of years of development, the human race in the Dragon Domain has also developed a relatively developed civilization. They no longer gather in villages, but have built tall cities one after another on the ground.
Gathering ethnic groups into villages, gathering villages into towns, gathering towns into counties, gathering counties into counties, gathering counties into continents...
County towns, prefecture towns, and continental towns, each larger than the last, stand tall on the ground, with as few as one hundred thousand households and as many as tens of millions of households. They gather the rolling luck and make the incense rise to the sky.
Gathering a crowd to achieve success can suppress all methods. Even though these cities were built by mortals and inhabited by mortals, the luck gathered by so many people gathered together is undoubtedly astonishing.
Even ordinary immortals who enter it will be suppressed by this luck. If they can exert 10% of their strength, it is considered good.
The larger the city and the more residents, the stronger the condensed luck, and the greater the suppression of the monks, which can effectively prevent the monks from causing chaos.
Therefore, there is only the city god in the city, and there is no mountain god, land god, and water god. Instead, outside the city, there is one god for every land, one god for the mountain, and one god for the water. Looking around, they are all gods.
The city is protected by luck, so there is no need to worry about the persecution of monks and evil spirits. It is very safe and naturally does not need the protection of the mountain gods, land gods and water gods.
Looking outside the city, although there are many villagers, they are too scattered and unable to gather strong luck.
Therefore, it is very dangerous outside the city. The villagers living outside the city are undoubtedly the main targets of demon cultivators and evil spirits. They especially need the protection of the mountain god, land god and water god.
Otherwise, how can ordinary villagers block the prying eyes of monsters and ghosts? It will inevitably become their food.
It is dangerous outside the city, so it is necessary to enshrine a large number of mountain gods, land gods, water gods and other gods to protect one side.
Although the city is safe, there are many people there, and many people die almost every day. Therefore, it doesn't mean it is safe.
It is still necessary to set up a City God's Temple in the city. One is to seduce the souls and detain the souls of the dead to reincarnate in the underworld to maintain the order of heaven and earth.
The second is to provide strong support to the gods of mountain, water, land and other gods outside the city.
The land of mountain gods is just a small god. If there are monsters and monsters causing trouble, they may not all be opponents. Therefore, when they are defeated, they need to ask for help from their superiors, their corresponding city gods.
All the mountain god lands under the rule of the City God must not only assess their performance, but also ensure their safety.
...
"For mortals, thirty years is one generation, hundreds of years, and a few are three generations. For mortals, this time is not short, and it is enough for a large number of talents to emerge among them."
Ao Bing's gaze penetrated the void and swept over the cities standing on the land of Dragon Territory one by one.
He was not looking at people or the city, but looking at the energy.
Everything has its own Qi. The good Qi is golden, the noble Qi is purple, the good luck Qi is cyan, and the evil Qi is black...
By simply looking at the Qi, Ao Bing could know how many talents the Dragon Territory human race had produced during his absence.
But as he glanced over, countless wisps of energy rose up from the city, big and small, white and black.
Small, as thin as a hairspring, almost invisible to the naked eye. The big one is like a pillar of light as thick as a bowl, standing between heaven and earth, shining brightly.
The greater the Qi, the more extraordinary the person is. If the Qi machine appears golden, it means that the other person is a rare good person, has meritorious deeds, and is immune to all evil.
If the Qi machine appears cyan, it means that the person is very lucky. He is a rare lucky person. He is favored by heaven and can get adventures at any time.
If the Qi machine appears black, it means that the person is a very evil person. If he practices the devil's path, he will surely make great progress.
Ao Bing has no idea about the devil for the time being, so when he sees those heinous criminals whose qi is rising like black smoke, he often kills them without giving them a chance to do evil.
Ao Bing pays special attention to those virtuous people whose Qi is as strong as golden pillars and regards them as candidates for gods.
Once their path to immortality fails and their lifespan wanes and they die, Ao Bing will immediately canonize them as gods and let them become gods after their death.
As for those people whose Qi was shrouded in blue clouds, Ao Bing did not hesitate and ordered them all to be taken to Longzhou.
People with profound luck like this are simply born protagonists. They are born to practice Taoism and can easily reach a state that many monks cannot reach in their entire lives.
It would be fine if such a seed of cultivation has not been discovered. Now that it has been discovered, it must be taken back and cultivated properly.
As for talent?
Funny, in ancient times, whether one could become a strong person had nothing to do with talent. If you want to become a strong person, you must rely on luck and background.
Without background and luck, no matter how high your talent is, it is of no use. It will be difficult to reach the end. There is a high probability that you will die midway and spend your time making wedding clothes for others.
...
Looking around, Ao Bing probably knew who among the cities in the Dragon Realm was suitable for becoming a god and who was suitable for cultivating the human-dragon path.
However, he did not show it, but slowly lowered his head and looked towards the Netherworld deep in the earth.
Gods related to the earth, such as mountain gods, earth gods, and water gods, can be canonized to living people. But the position of City God can only be conferred upon the dead.
After all, the City God is a genus of the Yin God and belongs to the Netherworld. If a living person is canonized as a City God and the living person sets foot in the realm of death, it will easily disrupt the order of life and death.
"Dragon God, please show mercy and save us!"
"Dragon God is merciful, may you help us survive the disaster."
"Dragon God is merciful..."< br>
Just as Ao Bing's gaze penetrated the thick earth and reached the Netherworld, a series of painful cries for help suddenly came from his ears.
"Is this?"
Ao Bing seemed to be aware of it, and with a thought in his mind, he looked in the direction of the sound. Then, he saw a group of souls struggling hard in the dark and cold Netherworld.
“It’s my fault that you have suffered so much.”
Seeing this, Ao Bing couldn’t help but sigh. These souls suffering in the Netherworld are none other than the mortals who have died in the Dragon Realm over the past hundred years. Mortal life is limited, and the limit is only two years, one hundred and twenty years.
Ao Bing has not returned for a hundred years. During this time, the population of Longyu has not only increased, but also decreased. The old people back then are basically dead now.
After their death, their souls did not go to the Six Paths of Reincarnation for reincarnation, but went to the Nether World, the place corresponding to the Dragon Realm.
The human world is the world of life, and the underworld is the world of death. The two worlds are opposed to each other, but they are unified with each other. They are in a relationship of mutual growth and mutual restraint, and they are always entangled.
Therefore, all the great forces in the human world, under the refraction of luck, will naturally open up a pure land of their own in the Netherworld.
Of course, the Pure Land is not a unified term. Some people call it the divine domain, while others call it the ancestral temple or the Yin Mansion. In short, this is a place where you can shelter your deceased souls in the underworld.
Dragon Realm is definitely a powerful force in the human world. Therefore, under the refraction of Dragon Realm’s luck, an area corresponding to Dragon Realm will naturally be opened in the Nether World for the deceased of Dragon Realm. perch.
Yes, in this era, because the underworld has not yet been established, although creatures will be drawn by instinct to the netherworld after death, it is not mandatory to reincarnate.
Those who are willing to reincarnate can go to the six paths of reincarnation on their own.
Those who do not want to be reincarnated can stay in the pure land created by themselves and continue to practice. Or the yin pole generates yang, cultivates the body of ghosts and gods, and is reborn.
Or the practice fails, the soul is scattered, and the true spirit returns to heaven and earth.
As for the lonely ghosts, it is miserable. In the Netherworld, the innate evil energy is permeating the air, penetrating to the bones and soul, and even the soul can be frozen to death.
Lonely ghosts without the protection of the pure land will soon be frozen to death by the innate evil energy and turned into daggers. Then he continued to freeze to death, first turning into hope, and then turning into nothingness.
Until the soul is completely broken and turned into dust, a little bit of innate spiritual light goes to the six paths of reincarnation.
The death of a ghost is called a ghost, the death of a ghost is a hope, and the death of a hope is a misfortune.
Xi loses her voice, Yi loses her body, and eventually turns into a speck of dust in the air, never to be seen again. Only the innate soul is immortal, absorbed by the six paths of reincarnation, reincarnated, and transformed into a new creature.
The ghost dies three times, which shows the innate spirit. And reincarnation only requires the innate true spirit, not the soul.
Those who have not reached the Golden Immortal level cannot leave a mark on the true spirit. Therefore, under the Golden Immortal, if a true spirit is reincarnated, the new creature will have nothing to do with the previous creature. It is a new individual, not its reincarnation.
On the contrary, under the Golden Immortal, if the soul is reincarnated, although it will experience the mystery of the womb, it will not completely lose itself, and it is possible to start over again.
The current reincarnation, due to the emergence of the six-path reincarnation disk, the operating mode is much more advanced than at the beginning, but compared with later generations, the efficiency is still extremely low.
In the beginning, when Queen Houtu had not yet transformed into reincarnation, there was no such thing as reincarnation in the world. After the death of a living being, the soul will be drawn into the sea of blood in the netherworld, slowly destroyed by it, and become the nutrients to strengthen itself.
The process was extremely painful. Seeing this, Empress Houtu couldn't bear it, so she came up with the idea of reincarnation.
After Hou Tian's empress transformed into reincarnation, the sea of blood in the underworld was swallowed up by the underworld, and she could no longer actively absorb the souls of the dead.
At the same time, the emergence of reincarnation has also filled the vacancy of heaven and earth, further completing the great cycle of heaven and earth.
All souls are born, this is the beginning. All souls die and the true soul returns to the way of heaven. This is the end. The combination of the two is a complete cycle of heaven and earth.
As long as this great cycle takes shape, heaven and earth will be able to continuously strengthen themselves with the nourishment of all spirits. It is when a creature is planted in spring and a large mass of origin is harvested in autumn.
It’s a pity that Heaven’s plan was very good, but there were flaws in heaven and earth, which caused problems in His plan from the very beginning. It only had a beginning and no end.
Heaven and earth gave birth to all spirits, but after the death of all spirits, their origin, the innate true spirit, was swallowed up by the sea of netherworld and blood, becoming the power to strengthen it.
This unexpected incident directly caused trouble to Tiandao. He tried many methods but could not solve it.
It was not until Queen Hou Tu transformed into reincarnation, replaced the sea of blood in the underworld with the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk, absorbed the souls of all souls, and collected the origins of heaven and earth that this matter was successfully resolved and the heaven and earth became perfect.
When the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk is reincarnated, it will secretly intercept part of their true spiritual power and use it to strengthen the world.
This is the continuation of heaven and earth, and it can be called immeasurable merit. It is precisely for this reason that Queen Houtu is respected by all races and said to have great love and compassion.
Incarnation is reincarnation, not for a clan, but for heaven and earth. Who can not admire this great love and compassion?
It’s a pity that Queen Houtu’s compassion could not withstand the monk’s greed.
Not long after she became reincarnated, fewer and fewer creatures chose to be reincarnated, so that during the six paths of reincarnation, it was impossible to gather enough power for the world.
Why are there fewer and fewer beings willing to be reincarnated? Naturally, it is because of the opening up of the Pure Land.
Before there was a pure land, the evil spirit swept across the Netherworld, and ghosts came here. If they did not want to be consumed by the evil spirit and end up in a state of disarray, they could only go to the Six Paths of Reincarnation as soon as possible and be reincarnated.
But the appearance of the Pure Land is tantamount to providing them with a shelter. As long as they hide in the Pure Land, they can be protected from the erosion of the evil spirit.
At the same time, the Pure Land also has the ability to transform Yin evil energy into innate Yin energy. As long as you stay in it, even ghosts can continue to practice.
In this case, any monk with some background will not think about reincarnation, but will make a last ditch effort to practice in the pure land and try to transform into innate ghosts and gods.
The emergence of the Pure Land is a good thing for the monks, but for the world, it is a great bad thing. Good guys, if you don’t reincarnate after your death, how can He continue to fish from the lake?
If ghosts are allowed to grow in the pure land, what is the difference between them and monks in the world? They are all pests of heaven and earth, eating away at the power of heaven and earth day and night.
Heaven was furious about this and wanted to destroy all the pure lands in the Netherworld, so as to restart the great cycle of heaven and earth.
At this time, Ao Bing came to the Netherworld and prepared to use the City God system as a starting point to try to get his hands on the authority of the Netherworld.
Then, almost instantly, he was given the destiny to clear the Pure Land of the Netherworld and establish the Underworld.
In this destiny, clearing the Pure Land is not the focus, but establishing the Underworld is.
Why do ghosts go to the Pure Land instead of the Six Paths of Reincarnation? To put it bluntly, it wasn’t because no one was seducing their souls when they died.
If a living being dies, the soul is directly taken away by ghosts and taken to the six realms of reincarnation.
Unless the strong men in the Pure Land are ready to rob people, in the years to come, all the ghosts who have returned to the Netherworld after death will flow into the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Half of its origin is used to reincarnate and create new creatures. Half of it was absorbed by heaven and earth and became the nutrients that strengthened the origin of the ancient world.
Because the Pure Land has no fresh blood injected into it, it will naturally slowly decline over time and will no longer pose a threat to the great circulation of heaven and earth.
