The eighteen levels of the underworld, from the tenth level down, are basically dangerous places, with the five turbid energies flowing in the void. Even if there are some mountains and rivers, they must be dangerous mountains and dangerous waters, mysterious and unpredictable.

However, the environment in the upper ninth level of the underworld is actually quite good.

Especially in the second level of the underworld, the boundless land is colorful, the void has its own fragrance, and there are many strange flowers and plants.

King Guang of Qin, King Jiang of Chu and Emperor Song were sitting on the ground on the shore of a lake with lush flowers and plants, drinking and chatting.

Although the three of them were all wearing the robes of the King of Hell, their expressions were very relaxed, and they were obviously very satisfied with their leisurely life.

The only thing that is strange is that their movements are very slow and their speaking speed is also very, very slow.

"Good - wine - ah -"

It seemed that while they were chatting, they were distracted by countless distractions and thinking about other things with their endless spiritual thoughts.

This is indeed the case.

As the king of hell who was entrusted by heaven, if they were in their own royal court, they would just sit in the void all day long, motionless, emitting infinite spiritual thoughts, dealing with things in the underworld, and occasionally reflecting on recent deeds.

Now that they come out to gather, although they can feel more relaxed than when they were sitting in the royal court, they can't really turn away the official duties of the King of Hell, so most of their minds are still working on the authority of the King of Hell.

The remaining thoughts can allow them to move with an almost immortal reaction speed, but that... is really unnecessary.

After all, everyone is the king of hell. They would rather drink a little wine slowly and just think that they are the stars who have just become spirits and their brains are running very slowly.

The ten halls of the King of Hell are: the first hall is King Guang of Qin, the second hall is King Chujiang, the third hall is King Song, the fourth hall is King Wuguan, and the fifth hall is King Yama.

The Sixth Palace is the King of Bian Cheng, the Seventh Palace is the Taishan King, the Eighth Palace is the City King, the Ninth Palace is the King of Pingping, and the Tenth Palace is the Wheel-turning King.

These ten palaces of the king of hell and the ten underworlds each perform their own duties.

The first four levels of the underworld are respectively responsible for taking over the intelligent people of humans and insects, the non-intelligent people of plants and trees, practitioners, and demons. The true spirits of these four kinds of creatures after death will review their operations and determine their destinations.

The fifth level of the underworld, headed by King Yama, is in charge of the hells. It has eighteen major hells and 129,600 small hells. Those found guilty of serious sins after being reviewed by the first four levels of underworld will be escorted to the fifth level of the underworld and enter the hell.

being tortured.

Those whose crimes are not enough to enter hell will continue to be escorted downwards to the sixth, seventh, and eighth levels of the underworld, where they will be assigned a safe place to live according to their merits and karma in life.

Biancheng, Taishan, and the city manage the lives of these ghosts until their life span is over and their memories are scattered, and then they enter the ninth level of the underworld, where the King of Pingping takes over, checks them repeatedly, and sends them into reincarnation.

As for the tenth level of the underworld, it is jointly controlled by the Chakravartin King and the Netherworld Leader, who are responsible for targeting the evil beasts in the lower underworld.

It is said that before the great tribulation in ancient times, the underworld system was somewhat different from what it is now. The ten kings of hell were responsible for matters including the arrangements for the afterlife of these ghosts.

However, after the ancient catastrophe, the immortals in heaven discussed and believed that the people in the next life are not the same as those in the previous life, both physically and mentally, so why should they bear the sins of the previous life? If the spirits of the previous life were really guilty of serious sins, how could they be allowed to be easily reincarnated?

Therefore, all subsequent rewards and punishments for merit, deeds, and sins must be completed within the underworld. Although the underworld still holds the authority related to reincarnation, it no longer deliberately interferes with the trajectory of all creatures in the world after reincarnation.

It is no longer known what the opinions of the kings of hell in ancient times were on this matter. However, the kings of hell who succeeded him later did not have any opinions on this decision of the Heavenly Court. Although this matter seemed to have reduced the power of the king of hell, it did not

It also reduces the responsibilities they need to shoulder.

Responsible for the rewards and punishments of the creatures in all the worlds after their death is already an extremely complex burden. If you still want to interfere in the afterlife, and interfere again when the trajectory of the afterlife is unexpectedly interfered with, it will be too much trouble.

You must know that even after the restructuring of the underworld, the number of matters that the Ten Palaces of Hell need to deal with is still unimaginable. With his mind spinning, there are countless Dao words and Dao diagrams circulating in every moment that need to be approved.

All titles in the Heavenly Court were originally obtained by cultivators based on their own strength. Only the ten kings of hell have additional blessings, which allow the strong men in the emperor realm to control the great power of the heavenly realm without being burdened like those lords of holy lands.

In fact, it takes into account the heavy responsibilities and heavy duties of the underworld.

If there were not such great benefits, it would not be enough to attract an emperor-level powerhouse to take over the post of King of Hell.

But generally speaking, there are very few kings of hell who are willing to stay in office for a billion years.

"Well, in a few years, this catastrophe will break out again. By then, we don't know whether we will be a little more relaxed or whether we will become busier."

King Qin Guang moved slowly and poured himself another glass of wine.

"Being busy doesn't necessarily make you busier, but it will definitely be dangerous."

King Chu Jiang shook his head, "It's a pity that the cause and effect on me is difficult to repay. Even if I run far away, I will definitely be involved in the disaster. Only by becoming the king of hell can I be more sure of surviving the disaster. Otherwise, I would have been there early."

For hundreds of millions of years, I have been traveling far away in chaos, free and at ease."

Emperor Song said in a gentle voice: "The King of Hell is not bad. After all, after being blessed by the position of King of Hell, the power of the Heavenly Lord is more brilliant than that of the ordinary Lord of the Holy Land. As for the energy we usually spend dealing with things in the underworld, it may not be

It’s much harder than when the heavenly emperors managed their own holy lands in the early days.”

King Qin Guang and King Chu Jiang looked at each other and didn't want to say anything.

This Song emperor originally ascended from the lower world. When he became an emperor, he gained insights from looking at the sea of ​​chaos from a distance. The cause and effect with Taiqing Chiming is not too difficult to repay.

So many years ago, he had traveled far away from Chaos. Unfortunately, he had bad luck. He was seriously injured not many years after leaving, and fled back to Taiqing Chiming. After recovering from his injuries, he thought that the cause and effect on his body was still not too serious.

So he ran out again and was seriously injured again.

After doing this again and again, the cause and effect between him and Taiqing Chiming became so deep that he couldn't get rid of it even if he wanted to, so he had no choice but to fight for the position of King of Hell. Now his mentality is more calm than that of other Kings of Hell.

"Speaking of which, the experience of this King of Yama seems to be similar to that of Emperor Song?"

When King Qin Guang mentioned this matter, Emperor Song's expression was a little subtle.

"I was only at the first level of the Three Realms of the Emperor at the beginning. It was easy for me to get into danger when I traveled far across the sea, which was reasonable. But when King Yama came to take office, I was already at a high level, right?"

The Emperor of the Song Dynasty clicked his tongue, "High-level emperors can still hit the wall many times and need to escape to Taiqing Chiming to cultivate. I think he is really unlucky. Maybe he has been cursed by the Heavenly Lord of the Plague Department, hahaha!"

King Qin Guang and King Chu Jiang couldn't help but laugh.

When that fellow Taoist was elected as King of Yama, everyone laughed once when they heard about it. King Qin Guang was the most cautious person, and at that time he was still a little suspicious, wondering if there might be something fishy.

But later, King Pingping led everyone to check the past of that Taoist friend, and the approval from the Fire Lord was no problem. King Qin Guang also dropped his suspicions and could only think that the Taoist friend was really unlucky.

While the three kings of hell were talking and laughing, their heartstrings suddenly trembled. The blessing power of the king of hell gave them a shock for the first time, making them look up involuntarily.

I saw the Emperor Demon Pond exploded to pieces, the Tao Fruit from ancient times reappeared, and the divine light shot straight into the heavens.

All the heavens and realms connected to the human world, and the infinite number of realms, all emerge under the reflection of that divine light.

Each universe group seems to be a grain of fine sand emitting shimmering light. But now, there are countless fine sands, as vast as the sea, and the existence of the underworld is also revealed, like a dark island in the endless sea of ​​light.

.

When that divine light rises into the sky...

The entire "sea surface" is tilting!

!

All the heavens and all the realms are tilted, the time dimension is torn apart, and all things that are immeasurable are evolving towards the state of great wilderness that the divine light loves.

Until the ninth level of heaven emerged, a sword shadow slowly emerged from the heaven.

This single sword was like lifting up the order of all the heavens and worlds, stopping the collapse of all worlds, and seemed to make the progress of that divine light rushing towards the heaven become out of reach.

"Gonggong, do you insist on joining in the fun at this time?"

The Emperor's Sword was flying high in the sky, unreachable, and the divine light was soaring into the sky, but it was unstoppable. What's more, at this moment, the surface of the Great Void Sea suddenly trembled.

Another voice sounded from the heaven, causing layers of infinite ripples to shrink toward Taiqing Chiming.

"Haha, when an old friend of the Emperor of Heaven returns, why should he be rejected thousands of miles away?!

"

The ripples of the infinite void struck, and divine light rushed into the realm of heaven. In an instant, the thirty-third heaven realm shook violently.

All the heavenly holy places lost control at this moment and fell rapidly.

The main body of the heaven covering the nine heavens also burst apart one after another, and countless heavenly palaces and holy lands were thrown out together.

Another sword shadow emerged from the heaven. The two swords turned and the infinite void, the divine light of all realms and the remaining part of the heaven were all shrouded in a layer of hazy waves and disappeared at the same time.

The tendency of those holy lands to fall from the heavens has also been greatly alleviated, but they are still pressing towards the surface of the Great Void Sea in an irreversible manner.

They have all left the realm of heaven and will soon be at the same level as the human world.

So many Holy Lands fell onto the surface of the Great Void World Sea at the same time. The violent waves in the World Sea caused by each other would exterminate many living beings in the realms within the Holy Lands.

Although the human world is protected by heavenly rules and will not be destroyed, I am afraid that all life will be washed away.

At this time, the deities and emperors who had just escaped from the heaven took action one after another to lift up the holy land. The spiritual mountains in the west emitted solemn Buddha light, surrounded by auspicious clouds, and there were many pure lands of great Bodhisattvas.

In the Xuanyuan Holy Land of the human race, a spear was raised, stimulating the energy of the entire human race. The other seven holy lands formed a concentric formation to share the falling places of many holy lands.

The many holy places of the fairy clan each turned into giant birds. The old world of the wilderness hidden in the sea of ​​​​world suddenly opened up, and the secret realm of the demon behind Lingshan quietly emerged...

Countless kinds of divine light intertwined, and the waves of the Holy Land falling were mixed together.

The entire area of ​​the Boundary Sea was suddenly in such chaos that even King Qin Guang and the others found it difficult to spy on it.

The eighteenth level of the underworld also received a huge impact and began to tremble.

At this moment, four rays of golden light descended from the level of the boundary sea and went straight into the underworld. Each of them emitted strange mantra sounds, touching the power of reincarnation in all realms contained in the underworld.

"Who are you, who want to reincarnate rashly?!"

The secret realm of the Emperor Demon Pond collapsed, the Lord of the Great Wilderness reappeared as Dao Guo, the heaven was shaken, the holy land fell, and the series of changes caused the strong men in the underworld to be shocked and stunned for a moment, but those four golden lights wanted to touch the authority of the underworld and immediately attracted them

of alertness.

King Qin Guang took the lead, but only one of the four golden lights was able to compete with him.

The King of Chu Jiang, the Emperor of Song, and even King Wu Guan of the fourth underworld also arrived and completely blocked the incoming attack of the four golden lights.
