The Blood Moon in the sky above the Netherworld gazed at the thirty-six Divine Tablets, revealing a sense of joy.

In accordance with Xuanqing's will, it began to transform the Netherworld, adapting to the changing rules and order of the Netherworld.

Rumble!!

The entire Netherworld vibrated.

In the east, south, west, north, and center, the five major mountain ranges were extending.

North of Luofeng Mountain, south of Luofu Mountain, west of Boshong Mountain, east of Du Shuo Mountain, the originally boundless chaotic space gave birth to a vast nether land.

This change astonished the Yan Juns scattered across the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

They heard a scripture.

"Earth Emperor of Netherworld, bestows great grace and compassion, spreads ceaseless blessings, grants salvation and grace, gifts benevolence of renewal. Enables the Tao to reach divine spirit, harmonizing spiritual officials... With this merit, returning to the seven ancestral temples, nine profound seven ancestors, all the departed, together escape from haunting misery, ascend to the hall of fortune, and transform into truth with the wheel..."

"Earth Emperor?"

On the Ghost Immortal Plane, [King Taishan] Taiyi True Master saw those floating Divine Tablets, showing a bit of surprise in his eyes: "Isn't this the new karmic position refined by Master?"

He had seen the Divine Tablets transformed from the Primordial Nine Qi in the [Great Dao True Realm].

After all, Taiyi True Master was still in the process of digesting the position of [Qinghua Great Emperor], and was almost successful.

"Which Da Luo Supreme did Master promote this time? Contributing to the development of the Netherworld now, benevolent, benevolent!" Taiyi True Master showed a compassionate expression.

In the Changrong Great Universe, True Master Yu Ding smiled, "The Ascension pathways connecting with the Primordial True Realm are about to open? That's great news!"

The vast Netherworld now only has Innate Great Gods, without the residences of myriad ghosts, majestic and grand, truly inconsistent with the atmosphere of the Underworld.

Now that the Netherworld has been transformed, it is time to select some members of the Ghost Clan, Ghost Generals, Ghost Gods, and Ghost Immortals to ascend to the Netherworld!

In the Xuantai Universe, [King Zhuanlun] Ju Liusun calculated with his fingers, immediately applauding: "Now with thirty-six new karmic positions and all legitimate duties of Netherworld, the All Heavens World belonging to Netherworld is going to be crazy!"

Chi Jingzi, Yun Zhongzi, and a group of Yama noticed the changes in the Netherworld and laughed heartily.

"Fellow brothers, the Netherworld is in need of vitality now, maybe True Gods are needed. How about each of us cultivate an Earth Emperor or Ghost General to send into the Netherworld and see who is faster?"

Huang Long True Master, who was cultivating in a universe, resisted the scrub of the laws of the Great Universe with his physical body, comprehending the logic of rebirth amidst the destruction.

He knew full well the changes happening in the Netherworld.

All the Yan Juns laughed at Huang Long's words: "It's a deal!"

Thus, throughout the Netherworld, a grand and glorious endeavor of universal salvation and ascension began!

In the Five Towns Temple, Zhen Yuanzi held the Earth Book, inspecting it closely.

The Earth Book, transformed from the fetal membrane of the earth, was a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

With this item, Zhen Yuanzi could observe the boundless mountains and rivers and peer into the Netherworld.

In the past, the Netherworld was a chaos where nothing could be seen clearly.

Occasionally, there were some movements, which quickly subsided as well.

"Is the Netherworld's passage opening?" Zhen Yuanzi was puzzled. Ever since the Lord of Netherworld closed off all passages of the Netherworld, he hadn't paid much attention to the changes there.

He hadn't expected this change to persist for so long.

He sensed that the Netherworld's layout was undergoing some alteration.

Zhen Yuanzi repeatedly explored the Netherworld with the Earth Book, finally capturing a trace.

In the Earth Book, the dark world originally had only five luminous points, distributed in five directions.

Now, these luminaries began to increase, expanding around these five points, gradually forming a fine network.

"The Netherworld's earth veins are increasing, and the nether land is also expanding!"

Light shimmered in Zhen Yuanzi's eyes, he pondered, "The previous Netherworld, chaotic and ignorant. Does this change now mean that the Lord of Netherworld is planning something big?"

He glanced at his Earth Book again and looked towards two special places.

One was Youdu Mountain, the other was the Blood Sea.

These two places were the former passages of the Netherworld.

Later, Youdu Mountain lay dormant for a long time, and after a great battle in the Blood Sea, Zhen Yuanzi knew an ancient god resided there and paid no further attention.

Now Youdu Mountain seemed to show signs of opening, and the Blood Sea roiled with dark currents.

"Unknown changes, continue to observe!"

Zhen Yuanzi fixed his eyes on these two places, not missing a single detail.

Meanwhile, at Buzhou Mountain.

The Primordial Qilin opened its eyes.

"There's a change in the Underworld!"

"Did you also feel it, Daoist?"

The Divine Hidden Demon God emerged from the shadows, stretching lazily: "There is a change in the Underworld, but I can't see it."

"I just tried to enter the Underworld and couldn't even find the door," the Divine Hidden Demon God lamented.

"Do you want to go down and take a look?" Qiankun Immortal held a Great Cauldron, inspecting the patterns on the cauldron's body as if trying to discern some truth from them.

The Divine Hidden Demon God looked at Qiankun in surprise: "Do you have a method, Daoist?"

"Indeed, I do."

Qiankun Immortal smiled slightly: "With the Qiankun Cauldron in hand and leaning on Buzhou Mountain, where in the heavens and earth can't we go?"

"It just requires a bit of effort, that's all."

The Divine Hidden looked at the Primordial Qilin.

The Primordial Qilin nodded slightly: "If we use Buzhou Mountain's power to forcibly cross realms, we can indeed go... but..."

The Divine Hidden Demon God's eyes lit up: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go see!"

"You hold the Earth Element Dao Fruit, are you not curious about matters below the earth?"

The Primordial Qilin hesitated.

~~~

At Kai Ming Mountain.

Houtu ignored external matters, dedicatedly crafting her new script.

"Now that heaven and earth are imminent, an immeasurable great calamity could erupt at any moment; then all forces will reshuffle,"

"If the Primordial Qilin falls, I must strive for a part of this earth's authority."

"This new script must be well-crafted."

Houtu wrote some phrases on tortoise shell and beast bones, such as: "When the Qilin dies, earth divides," "This year the Qilin dies," "Primordial Qilin dies under Buzhou Mountain"...

Then she cast them into the Space-Time River.

She then wrote: "Houtu, the Mother of Earth!"

"Her duty is to control Yin Yang, nurture the earth, dispel darkness, lift divine spirits, manage changes of all mountains and lands and the great deities of mountains and earth, and govern calamities and fortunes."

After finishing each script, Houtu cast it into the Space-Time River.

With supreme Great Power, she wove each outcome, influencing Infinite Time and Space, waiting for the right time to reverse cause and effect, turning all this into reality!

Centering around the topic of "Mother of Earth," Houtu created more than a hundred scripts in a row.

"Hmm, not bad," Houtu nodded contentedly after reviewing her scripts.

"By the way, I need to fabricate some Netherworld True Gods to perfect the Mother of Earth's authority, so they can be my aid in the future!"

So Houtu wrote further.

"Houtu establishes Nine Fortresses, transforming thirty-six Earth Emperor Kings."

"Each commands twelve hundred divine spirits, Earth Lords and Dukes, Earth Sires and Mothers, Earth Sons and Grandsons, Earth Kin and Lineage. Whether Year Deities, whether Generals, whether Crane Spirits... such Earth family Divine Slaughters, return to the Netherworld..."

To enhance authenticity, Houtu separately wrote biographies for the thirty-six kings within the Nine Fortresses.

"Responding with true essence to the Great Dao without desires, the first fortress is named the first Earth Emperor King, surname Qin, name Xiaojingchun..."

"The second Earth Emperor King, surname Huang, name Changshangwen..."

After writing the biographies of thirty-six divine spirits, Houtu cast them collectively into the Space-Time River.

"Hehe, writing ten thousand scriptures today, harvesting thousands of divine spirits tomorrow!"

"This Mother of Earth is mine for the taking!"
