DreamersGN Chapter 267 From now on, there will be no Houtu, only Pingxin.
Chapter 267 From now on, there will be no Houtu, only Pingxin.
Immediately afterwards, Niu Ben casually waved his hand, and the model of the eighteen levels of hell that he had extracted flew down into the dark and solemn void.
"oh?
Everyone who saw this showed surprise in their eyes.
Everyone wanted to see what methods Niu Ben would use to construct this underworld.
"boom!"
At the same time, the streaks of light transformed from the model of the eighteen levels of hell had already fallen to the ground.
The moment it was touched, the model instantly surged in size!
Then, to everyone's astonishment, an enormous eighteen-story building rose from the ground.
"Boom!"
These eighteen levels of hell have a complex structure, with each level clearly defined from top to bottom.
Within each level, one can vaguely see terrifying phantom images of mountains of knives, seas of fire, cauldrons of boiling oil, and icy hells.
Before everyone could recover from their shock, Niu Ben waved again.
Then, magnificent and solemn palaces appeared one after another.
The Palace of the Emperor of Fengdu, the Palace of the Ten Kings of Hell, the Palace of Judges, the Palace of Impermanence, the Pavilion of Meng Po...
All the necessary buildings for the underworld are complete.
It was as if it had been planned in advance.
These palace buildings, together with the eighteen levels of hell, formed the prototype of the core area of the underworld.
Seeing this, a glint flashed in the eyes of the Supreme Sage, and he smiled as he looked at Niu Ben, saying:
"My disciple, your magical treasure is truly wondrous!"
"It gives me the feeling that you were born specifically for this underworld."
Niu Ben smiled slightly, offering no further explanation, and simply said:
"Master."
"This was merely a result of a fortunate coincidence!"
It's impossible to tell the Supreme Lord that these eighteen levels of hell were a reward he received from the system, right?
The Supreme Sage didn't think much of it.
He knew that his disciple had encountered many challenges.
After a moment of silence, the Styx Ancestor's gaze sharpened, and he looked directly at Niu Ben, probing:
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben, I wonder..."
Originally, the Styx Ancestor wanted to ask about his own Daoist temple.
After all, before Houtu Ancestral Witch transformed into a being of reincarnation, she had promised him that she would leave him a place of worship after the opening of reincarnation.
However, to the Styx Ancestor's surprise, before he could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred.
"boom……"
At this moment, the entire Netherworld began to tremble violently.
Both Styx Ancestor and Ksitigarbha were shocked to see this.
"What happened?"
Even the Three Pure Ones were astonished at this moment.
Before anyone could react, a terrifying aura erupted, enveloping the entire underworld.
This aura was vast and majestic, yet it was also compassionate.
"Um?"
"This aura... it seems to be... an anomaly in the very essence of the underworld?"
"My disciple! Do you know what happened?"
The Supreme Sage frowned slightly and quickly looked at Niu Ben.
After all, Niu Ben is the one who controls the power in the underworld.
Whatever happens in the underworld, it can't be hidden from Niu Ben.
Compared to everyone's surprise, Niu Ben remained calm.
He knew in his heart that although he had become the ruler of the underworld, he was not the one who truly sat in the underworld and controlled everything.
Instead, it is Houtu, the ancestral witch who has already reincarnated.
"Is she about to be born?"
Niu Ben muttered to himself, just about to explain to Taishang and the others, but before he could speak, he saw endless earth laws and golden light of merit gathering beside the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc.
After a few breaths, a blurry figure quickly solidified and gradually took shape.
"what?"
"What... what is this?"
"Such an aura?"
"..."
Upon seeing this, the expressions of the Supreme Being and the others all showed surprise.
A short while later, the figure solidified completely, revealing its face and body.
Everyone looked over and was immediately shocked!
This was because this person's appearance was exactly the same as that of the ancestral witch Houtu.
"What?"
"Hou... Houtu, the Ancestral Witch?"
"What happened?"
"Didn't she reincarnate?"
"..."
Upon seeing the appearance of the Ancestral Witch Houtu, everyone, including the Three Pure Ones, was filled with disbelief.
After all, they had witnessed Houtu Zuwu's flesh and blood explode and transform into reincarnation.
But now, the Ancestral Witch Houtu has appeared so vividly before their eyes, which naturally makes them feel somewhat incredulous.
Compared to the shock of Sanqing and the others, Niu Ben seemed much more composed.
He knew that the person before him was, in some ways, no longer the Houtu Ancestral Witch of the Witch Clan.
Of course, it could also be said that Houtu, the ancestral witch, did not actually perish.
Instead, they return in this netherworld in a more sublime form.
At this moment, the Three Pure Ones and the others were still in a state of shock.
Everyone could feel that the aura emanating from Houtu Ancestral Witch was no less powerful than that of a sage.
Moreover, within this Netherworld, the Ancestral Witch Houtu is perfectly integrated with the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Origin of the Underworld, and her words become law.
The power they could mobilize even made the three Heavenly Saints feel a sense of pressure.
In this place, she is the absolute ruler!
"No way?"
"Could it be that the Ancestral Witch Houtu not only did not perish, but also attained sainthood?"
The Styx Ancestor was secretly surprised and had no idea what was going on.
"strangeness?"
"Wasn't the Ancestral Witch Houtu supposed to self-destruct?"
"How could he be resurrected?"
Ksitigarbha was also filled with surprise, somewhat unable to believe what he was seeing.
Just as everyone was astonished, the white figure suddenly vanished from the spot in a flash.
The next moment, he appeared in front of Niu Ben and the others.
Upon closer inspection, everyone could perceive it even more clearly.
The face of the person before me was exactly the same as that of Houtu, but it appeared even more solemn.
In addition, his eyes contained a calmness that seemed to have seen through the cycle of reincarnation.
Just as everyone was observing, the figure in white spoke:
"Pingxin greets fellow Daoists."
"Frankly?"
Upon hearing this, the three Qings and the others were all bewildered and at a loss.
The woman before him looked exactly like Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, except for her different aura.
Niu Ben remained calm upon seeing this.
He already knew about Pingxin's current situation, so he wasn't shocked.
Just as everyone was surprised, Pingxin calmly said:
"Houtu has passed away after her body was reborn into the cycle of reincarnation."
"However, under the laws of Heaven, there is always a glimmer of hope."
"I inherit the will of Houtu, accumulate merits in reincarnation, and am born according to the way of the earth. This is Pingxin, who governs the netherworld and maintains the cycle of reincarnation."
At this point, Pingxin paused slightly, then turned his gaze to sweep over the Three Pure Ones and the others before continuing:
"From this day forward, only the Underworld is at peace, and the Witch Clan's Houtu is no more."
After Pingxin's explanation, the Three Pure Ones and the others finally understood.
"I see!"
The Supreme Sage nodded slightly and couldn't help but sigh.
When they saw Pingxin appear just now, even the three great sages were shocked.
Apart from that, everyone understands.
The selfless and heroic deeds of Houtu Zuwu moved heaven and earth, giving birth to new life in the midst of annihilation, which transformed into a peaceful being who coexists with reincarnation.
