Chapter 102: Empress Thick Earth Descends into the Perfect World and Establishes the Six Paths of Reincarnation

Zhenyuanzi joined the Heavenly Court and offered up Ginseng Fruit, making the Heavenly Court's strength formidable once again.

Qin Hao, meanwhile, invited Empress Thick Earth to descend into the Perfect World.

"Is this the world outside of Honghuang?"

A look of wonder appeared upon Empress Thick Earth's exquisite face.

With a single thought, she took in everything within the Perfect World.

Pointing toward the direction of the God Above in the Boundary Sea, she asked in confusion, "A very filthy aura; this world seems to have incomplete laws."

"This world's laws are indeed incomplete."

Qin Hao stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the Perfect World, and said, "This world has no Reincarnation, no Six Paths."

Even though there are Immortal King Giants who claim to control the Six Paths of Reincarnation and wish to create the six paths.

It is a pity that what they touch are merely fragments of the Six Paths of Reincarnation; they are fundamentally unable to create the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Good deeds go unrewarded, evil deeds go unpunished—why is this?

It is precisely because there is no Six Paths of Reincarnation.

That is why those full of sin live even more carefree and unrestrained lives than those with high moral character.

"No Six Paths of Reincarnation!"

Empress Thick Earth repeated these words, then looked at Qin Hao and asked, "What does the Heavenly Emperor mean?"

Qin Hao said indifferently, "Good and evil have their measures, the underworld has its order; my meaning is for Empress Thick Earth to create the Six Paths of Reincarnation in this world and perfect its laws."

If the Six Paths of Reincarnation were created within the Perfect World, the world's origin laws would become even stronger.

Perhaps after many years, the world would evolve toward a higher level.

Qin Hao turned his head to look at Empress Thick Earth and continued, "Moreover, if Empress Thick Earth creates the Six Paths of Reincarnation in this world, perhaps your strength will increase, and Fellow Daoist Thick Earth may use this to gain insight into the path beyond the Saint."

To prove the Dao and become a Saint through merit, one only needs to accumulate enough merit.

With enough merit, sooner or later, a quantitative change will lead to a qualitative change, breaking through to the next realm.

And in the Great Primordial World, the methods for obtaining merit have already been exhausted.

So, what should be done at this time?

In Qin Hao's view, one must set their sights on the Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

Whether it be Empress Nuwa or Empress Thick Earth.

As for Empress Thick Earth, she only needs to establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation in every world throughout the Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

By perfecting the laws of the six paths in every world, immeasurable merit will naturally be bestowed upon her.

If one world is not enough, then two worlds.

If two worlds are not enough, then three worlds.

With the accumulation of enough worlds, sooner or later, Empress Thick Earth will certainly be able to break through to the realm beyond the Saint.

The Heavenly Emperor's words instantly enlightened Empress Thick Earth.

Empress Thick Earth was not a foolish person; otherwise, she could not have proven the Dao and become a Saint on her own.

She said gratefully to the Heavenly Emperor, "Many thanks for your guidance, Your Majesty."

Empress Thick Earth did not hesitate; she arrived at the edge of the Boundary Sea and, with a wave of her fair hand, grabbed one broken world after another.

And these broken worlds immediately began to evolve one by one in her hands.

This massive display of power caused the entire world to tremble, and countless people could not help but feel terrified.

Empress Thick Earth's compassionate and merciful voice spread to every corner of the world.

"I, Thick Earth of the Heavenly Court, sensing that in this world, after living beings die, their souls scatter and have nowhere to go, today I, Thick Earth, establish the Six Paths and create Reincarnation in this world."

The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Burial Earth, and the Immortal Domain—countless Immortal King Giants all looked toward the direction of the Boundary Sea.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation?

The Immortal King Giants do not believe in the six paths; they look down upon Reincarnation, striving only to survive for one lifetime.

Because there is no Six Paths of Reincarnation in this world, death is final.

Therefore, cultivators in this world spare no cost to increase their strength and extend their own lifespans.

And now, a supreme existence from the Outer Heaven Court actually wants to establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation?

Can she succeed?

In this world, the Six Paths of Reincarnation is a taboo.

Countless people have tried to touch this domain and ended up dying miserably.

Can this woman from the Outer Heaven Court successfully establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation?

Empress Thick Earth grabbed with her fair hand, directly transforming the Burial Earth into patches of nether soil, becoming the underworld.

And countless waves from the Boundary Sea were drawn into the Burial Earth, becoming the Yellow Springs.

One checkpoint after another appeared; those were the Ghost Gate Pass.

Then came the Naihe Bridge, and the channels of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation evolved in her hands, and the Yellow Springs Netherworld began to manifest.

Empress Thick Earth had already successfully established the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Great Primordial World.

This world is not as strong as the Great Primordial World, and it is not Empress Thick Earth's first time.

So, it did not take long before Empress Thick Earth had successfully established the Six Paths of Reincarnation in this world.

In that very instant, all living beings in this world felt a resonance in their hearts.

The six paths of this world were established, and Reincarnation appeared.

Rolling waves of merit and Qi Luck from between heaven and earth surged toward Empress Thick Earth.

This was the gratitude of the world toward Empress Thick Earth.

This World has completed the rules of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and the origin of the World is even more powerful.

It is able to give birth to more, and even higher-level, powerhouses.

This is of tremendous help to the growth of the World.

The voice of Thick Earth Niangniang spread throughout the entire World.

"The Six Paths emerge, Reincarnation appears."

Thick Earth Niangniang lowered her majestic gaze and proclaimed this to the heavens and earth.

"From this moment on, all living beings shall enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation after death; the Six Paths are the Heavenly Dao, Ashura Dao, Human Dao, Animal Dao, Hungry Ghost Dao, and Hell Dao."

Her golden words carried a sense of warning amidst their majesty.

A warning that from now on, one cannot commit evil at will.

"The Heavenly Dao, Ashura Dao, and Human Dao are the Three Good Paths; the Animal Dao, Hungry Ghost Dao, and Hell Dao are the Three Evil Paths."

"Those with great merit in life may enter the Heavenly Dao, possessing innate good fortune. Those who possess merit but are combative and fierce may enter the Ashura Dao; those with neither merit nor demerit may enter the Human Dao."

"Those whose transgressions outweigh their merit shall be cast into the Animal Dao; those with deep sins and great evil shall enter the Hungry Ghost Dao and Hell Dao."

"In the Six Paths of Reincarnation, good and evil have their rewards; good and evil in life are judged after death."

The six channels of Reincarnation emerged, and the words of Thick Earth Niangniang shocked everyone in this heaven and earth.

Thick Earth Niangniang not only established the Six Paths to help all living beings reincarnate, but it also had the function of judging good and evil.

The good deeds you did and the killing karma you created in life will all be judged after death.

This made countless people feel joyful; these were mostly people who had done many good deeds in their daily lives.

Of course, more were frowning, feeling very dissatisfied.

Many of these were even Immortal King Giants; their hands were full of blood, and they had killed many people along their path.

Endless Karma was entwined upon them, and if it were truly as Thick Earth Niangniang said.

They would undoubtedly be cast into the Three Evil Paths after death.

These people were mostly heinous and wicked, originally free and unfettered, and their hearts were filled with dissatisfaction toward Thick Earth Niangniang.

Some were even those whose lifespans had been exhausted, relying on various evil methods to continuously extend their lives.

If one followed the theory of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, these people whose lifespans were exhausted should not exist in the world and should enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

These people all felt that Thick Earth Niangniang was meddling in other people's business.

But they dared not say anything at all, simply because this Thick Earth Niangniang came from the Outer Heaven Court.

The Outer Heaven Court was incomparably powerful, and even Immortal Kings had been suppressed and killed by them.

Even though they had much dissatisfaction in their hearts, they dared not say anything.

Because the Outer Heaven Court was too strong.

This world was full of dark beings who would stop at nothing, lingering on in a desperate struggle, sparing no cost to plunder the heavens and earth to extend their lives.

Thick Earth Niangniang waved her fair hand, and her golden words were inscribed directly between heaven and earth.

"Within the Underworld, the Eighteen Levels of Hell are established: Tongue-Ripping Hell, Scissors Hell, Iron Tree Hell, Evil Mirror Hell, Steaming Hell, Copper Pillar Hell, Mountain of Knives Hell, Iceberg Hell, Oil Cauldron Hell, Cattle Pit Hell, Stone Crushing Hell, Mortar and Pestle Hell, Blood Pool Hell, Wrongful Death Hell, Dismemberment Hell, Volcano Hell, Stone Mill Hell, and Blade Saw Hell."

"After death, according to the different sins committed in life, one shall receive punishment in different Hells; only by cleansing the sins upon oneself can one enter into Reincarnation."

"The Eighteen Levels of Hell are arranged according to the length of time spent suffering and the severity of the crime. Each Hell is twenty times more painful and has twice the lifespan of the previous one."

The scenes of the Eighteen Levels of Hell were reflected between this heaven and earth.

Almost all living beings saw the scenes of the Eighteen Levels of Hell, which made them shudder with fear.

Even if one entered the first level of Hell, one would have to suffer there for 13.5 billion years.

This was simply too terrifying.

Previously, if one had deep sins in life, it was already terrifying enough to be cast into the Animal Dao after death.

But who knew that now one would also be cast into the Eighteen Levels of Hell, to suffer and be tortured within the Eighteen Levels of Hell.

And only then could one enter into the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

And if one's sins were deep, after suffering all the torture in the Eighteen Levels of Hell, one would still be cast into the Evil Paths.

Those powerhouses who had always been unscrupulous, relying on their powerful strength to wantonly create killing karma, now could not help but feel a sense of terror in their hearts.

If this was their fate after death, it would be too terrifying.

No, it seems that in the future, one must cultivate diligently and absolutely must not enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The many living beings of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Immortal Domain were still very grateful to hear that Thick Earth Niangniang had established the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

"Many thanks to Thick Earth Niangniang for establishing the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

"Many thanks to Thick Earth Niangniang for establishing the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

For most living beings, establishing the Six Paths of Reincarnation was a matter of great merit for them.

So naturally, they were very grateful.

Thick Earth Niangniang's voice carried a coldness as she issued a decree to the heavens and earth.

"In this World, those whose lifespans have been exhausted and those who use various evil methods to extend their lives shall enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation today to accept the judgment of the Eighteen Levels of Hell."

There were many powerhouses in this World whose lifespans had long been exhausted.

If they used ordinary methods, extending their lives was fine.

After all, cultivation was originally for the sake of seeking longevity, and there was nothing wrong with that.

But more used evil methods, blood-sacrificing the world to extend their own lifespans.

As Thick Earth Niangniang's words fell, the Six Paths of Reincarnation rumbled.

Countless Great Divine Ability were cast directly into the Underworld and, according to the different sins they carried, were cast into different Hells.

The Heavenly Court conquered this World and wiped out the dark creatures of the Foreign Realm.

But in this world, there were still many who had slipped through the net.

Moreover, the World is simply like this.

As long as there is sufficient profit, too many people will be unable to resist the temptation and embark on such a path.

And now, these powerhouses have all been cast into the Eighteen Levels of Hell.

These eternal giants know that they are already full of sin.

Originally, they thought that as long as they spared no cost to extend their own lives, they could avoid the judgment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and would not be cast into Hell.

But who would have known that their evil methods of extending their lifespans would not be recognized by the Six Paths of Reincarnation at all.

In the eyes of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, their lifespans have ended, and they must enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

These dark eternal giants could not help but curse loudly at this moment.

"What Six Paths? What Reincarnation? This King looks down upon the ages and treads upon Reincarnation; who can judge me? Who is able to judge me?"

"I do not submit! The Six Paths are just a joke, Reincarnation is just a phantom; there is no Six Paths of Reincarnation in this world, everything is just a scam."

Unfortunately, no matter how they spoke or how much they refused to believe it, they were still cast into the Eighteen Levels of Hell.

Of course, there were also Great Divine Abilities who opened their mouths to beg for mercy.

"Spare my life! I am willing to atone for my sins; I do not want to enter the Eighteen Levels of Hell."

"Spare my life! Lady Thick Earth, spare my life!"

Unfortunately, it was of no use; even an Immortal King Giant cannot escape the sanctions of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Everyone saw those eternal giants being cast into the Eighteen Levels of Hell, and they all felt a sense of alarm.

In the future, one must not commit slaughter at will, otherwise, one will be cast into the Eighteen Levels of Hell to suffer after death.

After Lady Thick Earth finished all this, the increasingly dense merit of this World surged toward her.

And the aura on her body became more and more powerful.

Lady Thick Earth's beautiful eyes became increasingly clear, and she smiled sweetly at Qin Hao and said, "Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, I seem to have realized the path beyond the Saint."

The aura on Lady Thick Earth's body became increasingly heavy, and she was actually gradually approaching the realm beyond the Saint.

As more and more merit gathered on her, sooner or later, she would break through to the realm beyond the Saint.

Compared to other Saints, Lady Thick Earth has already realized her own path, the path beyond the Saint.

It is not like other Saints, who have no clue about everything.

Lady Thick Earth expressed her gratitude to Qin Hao again, "All of this is thanks to Your Majesty's help and guidance."

"It is entirely due to Fellow Daoist Thick Earth's heaven-defying comprehension; the role I played is insignificant."

Qin Hao replied with a smile.

He looked at the newly born Underworld and immediately said, "The Six Paths of Reincarnation of this World have emerged, yet the Underworld still lacks positions for Underworld Officials."

"In the name of the Heavenly Emperor, I proclaim to Heaven and Earth: open the Underworld Investiture of the Gods."

The Underworld of this World has emerged, the Yellow Springs have appeared, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation have appeared.

However, the positions for Underworld Officials in the Underworld are vacant; the Ten Yama Kings and the Ox-Head and Horse-Face have not yet been born.

These positions for Underworld Officials also need to be selected so that the normal operation of the Underworld can be guaranteed.

Thinking of this, Qin Hao immediately continued, "Where is Meng Tianzheng of the Human Race?"

Within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Meng Tianzheng was originally marveling at the immeasurable merit of Lady Thick Earth of the Heavenly Court.

Shaping the Six Paths of Reincarnation for this World is an unprecedented act of grace for the entire World.

In this World, how many people rely on their powerful strength to act unscrupulously and bully the weak.

It has been like this since ancient times; who could say anything about it?

Now that Lady Thick Earth has established the Six Paths of Reincarnation and created the Eighteen Levels of Hell, this situation can certainly be changed a great deal.

Who would have thought that at this moment, he would hear the words of the Heavenly Emperor.

Meng Tianzheng holds the utmost reverence for the Heavenly Emperor.

If it were not for the arrival of the Outer Heaven Court, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths might still be retreating steadily in the face of the Foreign Realm and the Dark Foreign Race.

Perhaps at some unknown time, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths would have been lost to the hands of the Dark Foreign Race.

Now, because of the arrival of the Heavenly Court, the Darkness has been ended.

Hearing the Heavenly Emperor's words, Meng Tianzheng walked out directly and bowed respectfully to the Heavenly Emperor.

"Meng Tianzheng pays respects to the Heavenly Emperor."

Looking at the thick merit on Meng Tianzheng, Qin Hao nodded.

He said to Meng Tianzheng, "The positions for Underworld Officials in this World are vacant; are you willing to take charge of the Investiture of the Gods and open the Underworld Investiture of the Gods?"

The Heavenly Emperor's words spread throughout the entire Heaven and Earth, and everyone instantly understood what this meant.

Lady Thick Earth has established the Underworld, and the Underworld needs Underworld Officials.

Now, this is to select Underworld Officials in this World to take charge of the Underworld.

At this very moment, the hearts of all living beings were burning with fervor.

If one could enter the Underworld, there would be no more worries about the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and one could even become a controller.

Moreover, one could also establish a connection with Lady Thick Earth of the Heavenly Court.

This is a matter with a hundred benefits and no harm.

But why would the Heavenly Emperor choose this weak Human Race member?

What kind of good luck does this Meng Tianzheng have?

To actually be valued by the Heavenly Emperor?

At this very moment, even the Immortal King Giants were filled with jealousy toward Meng Tianzheng.

Meng Tianzheng had not even reacted yet, until Qin Hao asked again, "Are you willing to take charge of the Investiture of the Gods and command the various Underworld Officials to return to their positions?"

"Your Majesty, I am willing."

Meng Tianzheng hurriedly spoke up.

This was the Underworld's Investiture of the Gods, and every single position of an Underworld Official was incomparably precious.

If one could hold the Investiture of the Gods, not to mention using power for personal gain.

But within a reasonable scope, he could at least help the Human Race secure a few more positions as Underworld Officials.

Qin Hao nodded, then condensed a copy of the Investiture of the Gods.

This Investiture of the Gods was not the original, but merely a condensed avatar, possessing a portion of the power of the Investiture of the Gods.

But for the Perfect World, it was already enough.

Qin Hao handed the Investiture of the Gods to Meng Tianzheng and said, "The Investiture of the Gods can record merit. Meng Tianzheng, you must remember to be fair and impartial, and select those who truly have merit and also possess talent."

"Only when the Six Paths of Reincarnation of the Underworld in this World are controlled by someone impartial and selfless will chaos not arise."

Qin Hao gave two instructions; the positions of Underworld Officials required the selection of those with great merit.

But those with great merit were not the only requirement.

After all, this was about controlling the Six Paths of Reincarnation and managing the Underworld.

The Underworld needed people with both talent and virtue so that it could be managed well.

Having only great merit would not suffice.

Meng Tianzheng said respectfully, "I will strictly follow the Heavenly Emperor's teachings."

After Qin Hao and Lady Thick Earth finished all of this, he turned and left this World directly.

But for the Perfect World, the era of the Investiture of the Gods had officially arrived.

Meng Tianzheng held the Investiture of the Gods and conferred the positions of Underworld Officials.

In this World, countless people at this moment all stepped onto the path of the Investiture of the Gods.

Only those with great merit and talent had the opportunity to be on the Investiture of the Gods.

Finally, by selecting the best from the best, could one become an Underworld Official.

For a time, the entire World was thinking of ways to increase their own merit.

But merit was something accumulated over years and days; for ordinary people, it was impossible to obtain a lot of merit all at once.

However, everything was still proceeding in an orderly manner, and the various gods of the Underworld were gradually returning to their positions.
