Chapter 711: Chapter 710: The Primordial: After Dealing with the Underworld, Return to the Immortal Realm to Drink Celebration Wine

“Pair of three.”

“Pair of seven.”

“Pair of ten.”

Blue Orchid, the fifty-second Human Emperor, looking at the scattered cards in her hands, gritted her teeth and decided to play a big one: “Four Yu Yin cards, high.”

The twenty-seventh Human Emperor refused to show weakness: “No wonder I don’t have a single Yu Yin card in my hand, they’re all with you. Four Bai Hongtu cards to cover it. Little Lu, your turn.”

A victorious grin appeared on Human Emperor Lu’s face: “Two Jiang Lis, bomb!”

In the Underworld, three Human Emperors were playing “Battle Jiang Li” to pass their leisure time.

This was a special product brought back from Jiuzhou by Human Emperor Lu, invented by Bai Hongtu, and widely circulated among the upper class in Jiuzhou.

Apart from Jiang Li himself, basically everyone had played it a couple of times.

When Human Emperor Lu first brought the game rules back to Underworld, it was greatly acclaimed by all generations of Human Emperors, finding it quite interesting.

The three Emperors chatted while playing cards.

“It’s really strange. Initially for the matter of the Eight Desolations, we needed the Book of Life and Death, and you, Little Lu, went on a mission to Jiuzhou. After coming back, you described how thriving Jiuzhou is now, incomparable to when we were in office, with such exuberance.” Blue Orchid teased.

“Just half a month later, we got news that Little Li was fighting in the Immortal Realm and completely wiped it out in one go.”

When Blue Orchid heard the news, she thought she was dreaming.

This successor of theirs was absurdly powerful, sweeping through the Immortal Realm as effortlessly as cleaning out trash, without any difficulty.

His biggest trouble had been not knowing where the Immortal Realm was.

Human Emperor Lu also found it unreal. Fighting the Immortal Realm should be a step-by-step process, from small fish to big ones, from Heavenly Immortals to Gold Immortals, and finally the Heavenly Dao.

There should be a process, at least three to five days, right? The Immortal Realm can’t be defeated in just a morning.

Where would you put the face of the Immortal Realm?

Even if the rest Human Emperors didn’t believe it, they had to believe because the news was brought back by Buddha himself.

If you described how Jiang Li defeated the Heavenly Dao in Buddha’s words, it would be, “I didn’t understand it, I looked away for a moment, and the Heavenly Dao just fell.”

The ridiculousness was emphasized.

“The Immortal Realm, pursued by all cultivators in their lifetimes, vanished just like that – the younger generation is indeed to be feared… three Bai Hongtu cards, with a five.”

“I’ve heard from the dead that when Jiang Li announced this, it caused quite a stir in Jiuzhou. But order did not descend into chaos, people only discussed this at their leisure after dinner.”

“Since then, our Jiuzhou has officially begun exploring the Ten Thousand Realms without any worries. More and more worlds have established contact, exchanging resources and progressing together.”

“And those who died in other worlds say that their lives have significantly improved since their worlds were connected to Jiuzhou. Their governments have become more attentive to their opinions… Two Jiang Li cards.”

Human Emperor Lu threw out two more Jiang Li cards.

“Hold on, why do you always have Jiang Li cards in your hand?”

“Probably because I got irritated with Jiang Li before, this brat must feel guilty and is compensating me.”

Suddenly, the Underworld trembled, war intent and killing intent filled the air, intertwining into a huge net that enveloped the entire Underworld.

“Is this a Primordial Immortal?!”

…

“Buddha, have you considered it? Do you want to stay in the Underworld?”

In Fengdu City, Empress Hou Tu was entertaining Buddha, trying to persuade him to stay in the Underworld.

“I’ve taken your kindness to heart, Empress, but I’m a sinner. I’m not qualified to stay in the Underworld.”

Empress Hou Tu waved her hand, not approving Buddha’s words: “Don’t say that. When Lord Yama used the Book of Life and Death to check on you, you saw it too, didn’t you? Although your virtue of Yin is not as immeasurable as Jiang Emperor, and not as plentiful as the sage spreading Dao in the heavens, but as the founder of Buddhism who advises people to do good and whose disciples help and take pleasure in doing good in the world, you also have great virtue of Yin.”

“Even the Ten Halls of Yama don’t have as much virtue as you do, and they can stay in the Underworld, surely you can as well.”

Buddha hesitated: “Does the Empress mean to let me become Yama?”

Empress Hou Tu bowed her hands in praise: “How is that possible? I greatly admire Buddha’s virtue of Yin. You should become the Lord of the Underworld.”

Buddha calmly said: “But the Empress founded the Underworld on the rule of reincarnation of life and death, creating a unique order of the Underworld. Therefore, the Underworld is clearly distinguished from the world of the living. Spirits don’t cause trouble in the world of the living, so death has become the biggest taboo in Ten Thousand Realms and can’t be changed. Even the descendants of the Golden Immortals, those who are domineering in the Immortal Realm, show fear at the mention of death knowing that an important figure has taken the helm in the Underworld, and no one can shake the order of the Underworld.”

“The Empress’s virtue of Yin should be greater than mine. How am I qualified to replace the Empress to become the Lord of the Underworld?”

From the conversation, you could feel a hint of respect from Buddha towards Empress Hou Tu.

Among the Primordial Immortal, the Daozu is the oldest, and Empress Hou Tu is not far behind, counting as a senior among all the Primordial Immortals.

Because Empress Hou Tu became an Immortal so early, there aren’t many legends about her in the Immortal Realm. Even her title is only circulated among the Golden Immortals and Primordial Immortals. Ordinary Immortals don’t know who the Lord of the Underworld is.

“Then you can be the Underworld’s second-in-command.”

Buddha no longer discussed this issue: “I have a question I would like to ask the Empress. Why does she insist on separating life and death, with no exceptions?”

“The order proposed by Emperor Shun seems to be completely opposite to the Underworld.”

What Emperor Shun demanded was to establish an order that most people agree with, and most people obviously hope for resurrection and do not agree with the rules of the Underworld.

When she talked about this, Empress Hou Tu got so annoyed that she couldn’t vent her anger. All five Primordial Immortals knew there were nine rules, but she thought there were only eight.

How they bullied her!

If it wasn’t for Buddha telling her, she wouldn’t even know the rule of destruction and the two ways to counteract it.

She rolled her eyes and said irritably, “The rules Shun advocated are clearly meant to be used in the world of the living. If we also follow the opinions of the majority in the Underworld, no one would die.”

“I’ve been establishing order in the Underworld for so many years now, and I’ve never seen a Black Tide, which shows that the standards for establishing order in the Underworld and the world of the living are different.” @@novelbin@@

“In establishing order in the Underworld, I just find it convenient for everyone to follow a specific procedure based on their virtue. Those who need to go to hell, go to hell; those who need to reincarnate, reincarnate. It simplifies unnecessary procedures and saves time.”

Empress Hou Tu let the Ten Halls of Yama stay in Underworld on the same principle, she saves range when her subordinates work, so it’s easier for her to relax.

Buddha nodded, “Indeed, if life and death are no longer strictly required, then the number of instances of coming back to life after death will multiply to unimaginable levels, causing chaos in both the Underworld and the world of the living. At that time, it will take even more time and energy to refurbish the universe.”

Suddenly, a gap appeared in the sky above the Underworld, causing a fluctuation in time. The river of time appeared, and the majestic Yuanzu led the elite of the Immortal Realm out of the river of time and launched a surprise attack on the Underworld.

“Brothers, once we’ve taken care of the Underworld, we will go back to the Immortal Realm and have a celebration feast. Respected God-hidden will surely reward us!” Yuanzu’s arrogant laughter echoed throughout the Underworld.
