$ Chapter 166 Human Sacrifice, Jiuyou Ghost Mother

The ancient sky.

The ancient stars suddenly shone brightly, and the stars twinkled, rotating according to the mysterious trajectory, forming a mysterious formation.

The stars bloomed and countless starlight fell from the sky, through the black umbrella in the sky, and fell on the ancient land.

Looking up, you will find that the dark sky is lit up by countless stars, magnificent and dreamy, beautiful beyond words.

But in the eyes of the human race and others who were slaughtered, the appearance of the starlight not only did not let them see hope, but extinguished the hope they saw.

Even with the obstruction of the Nine Nether Soul-Calming Umbrella, the power of the Zhoutian Star Array should not be underestimated.

As these starlights fell, the projections of the five ghost gates and the Nether River were severely suppressed, the coverage area was reduced a lot, and the absorption power of souls was also reduced a lot.

The demons suppressed by the Nine Nether Soul-Calming Umbrella also resumed their actions, and more and stronger demons joined the slaughter and soul collection.

Unfortunately, facing the Zhoutian Star Array, the human race was helpless, and the living could only flee for their lives in the hope of saving their lives.

The dead tried their best to float towards Yinchai, Guimenguan and Youhe, hoping to enter the underworld and have a chance of reincarnation.

With Huang Long's cultivation and preparation, if he used all his strength, he could block the starlight for a long time.

But he glanced at the sky and finally gave up this plan. The goal had been achieved. If he continued, it would only end up in a lose-lose situation, which was not worth it.

As if sensing Huang Long's decision, a pressure that only saints could perceive also weakened a lot.

Tianwaitian, Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun Daozu retracted his gaze, and his aura returned to calm again.

He had planned for so many years just to make the human race the protagonist of heaven and earth and let the human way appear in the world.

The disaster that the human race is experiencing now is not only a test they must go through, but also the prelude to the war between witches and liches.

No matter what, the human race must go through enough tests, and the demon race must refine the witch-killing sword, so that the strength of the two races will become not much different.

Only in this way can the human race transform and have the potential to become the protagonist of heaven and earth.

Only in this way can the two races of witches and liches be defeated, completely withdraw from the prehistoric world, and leave the stage to the human race.

Hongjun can tolerate Huang Long's participation in the human race's catastrophe on the grounds that his soul should return to the underworld.

But if Huang Long continues to take action and destroys the human race's catastrophe, causing the demon race to be unable to refine the witch-killing sword, affecting the future witch-lich war, he can't stand it, this is his bottom line!

Fortunately, Huang Long saw his bottom line and did not continue to take action, which made him relieved.

With the strength of Hongjun Daozu, he is not afraid of Huang Long, but at his current level, the Tao is everything to him, and as for the rest of the fight, he will not care.

Once he takes action, it will affect many future plans, which is not worth it.

The two top powers of the prehistoric world had a tacit understanding with each other and avoided a fight.

…

Prehistoric land.

Huang Long did not continue to attack, which made the demons feel relieved. They seemed to have not seen the Yincha around them, either collecting souls or slaughtering living beings.

But now, they are no longer as calm as before, and they dare not continue to find ways to increase the resentment of the human race.

Their goal has changed from collecting the wronged souls of the human race to collecting as many human souls as possible.

Minghe, the Five Ghost Emperors and many Yincha, they followed Huang Long's orders and performed the duties of arresting and guiding souls as if they did not see the demons.

Huang Long had two purposes this time.

One was to take this opportunity to show the strength of the underworld, publicize the authority of the underworld, and tell the prehistoric people that no matter who they are, their souls should return to the netherworld after death, and they should follow the Yincha to the underworld to be judged!

The other was to show their attitude to the human way that has not yet been truly born. The underworld has never sat idly by when the human way is robbed.

Next, it was a struggle between the demons and the underworld to see who could take more souls.

However, compared to the demons' urgency, the underworld seemed much calmer.

Even so, about 30% of the human souls were either sucked away by the Ghost Gate and the Nether River, or detained by the Yin Messenger.

Such results were all within Huang Long's expectations. His goal had been achieved, and 30% was enough.

As for the casualties of the human race, he did not have much emotional fluctuations.

He had one thing in common with Hongjun, that is, the heart of pursuing the Great Dao.

His heart of Tao was extremely tenacious. Apart from the Great Dao, there were not many things that could cause him emotional fluctuations, and the casualties of the human race did not affect him either.

...

Twenty years later.

When the number of the human race was reduced to tens of millions, the Taiqing Saint walked out of the Bajing Palace.

Di Jun knew that this had touched the bottom line of the saint. After thinking for a moment, he ordered the troops to withdraw.

The materials for the Tuwu Sword were enough!

The massacre lasting nearly a hundred years caused the human race to suffer heavy losses and made them understand what true despair is.

Under this despair, all the surviving human race underwent a transformation.

They were reborn from the inside out, with strong bodies, strong wills, and greatly increased cultivation. They will become the next elite of the human race and the foundation for the future.

In this disaster, the three ancestors of the human race all broke through their cultivation and achieved the Hunyuan fruit position.

Especially Youchao, he created earth burial, worshipped Huanglong and Houtu, and his cultivation broke through to the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian.

Although his tribe also suffered huge losses, under the special protection of Huanglong, the souls of this tribe who came to the underworld were the largest among many tribes, and they had more hope of reincarnation.

In addition to the three ancestors of the human race, the number of Taiyi Golden Immortals of the human race has increased from a few dozen to several thousand, and the number of Golden Immortals and Xuan Immortals has increased to tens of thousands.

It's just that the price is too high. All the surviving humans have grown up on the corpses of 99% of their clansmen.

Facing the demon clan's pressing step by step, the human race rose up to resist.

In the end, faced with numerous blood debts and deep hatred, the three ancestors of the human race wept every word and spoke with tears in their eyes.

"The way of heaven and the way of earth are above. From now on, our human race will be at odds with the demon race and we will fight until death -!"

Boom!

Thunder roared, the heaven and earth shook, and the heaven and earth responded to the oath of the human race at the same time.

The karma formed by the tragic deaths of hundreds of millions of people is like a long black snake, tightly entangled in the fate of the demon clan, like maggots attached to the bones, constantly eating away at the luck and blessings of the demon clan.

Many demon clans were furious. Unexpectedly, they did not expect that the weak human clan could be so bloody and courageous.

Many powerful monsters have proposed to continue taking action to eradicate the human race.

The human race is just an acquired creature. They should feel honored to be able to become the blood food of the demon clan and help the demon clan defeat the witch clan. How dare they fight to the death with me, the demon clan? He doesn’t even look at how much he weighs.

Even some powerful monsters from the prehistoric land have already led their troops towards the surviving tribes of the human race.

But now that the catastrophe has passed and the human race has successfully passed the test, the saint has no reason to stand by and watch.

Just when the demon army was approaching the human tribe, a Tai Chi diagram suddenly fell from the sky, swirling in black and white. As the scrolls were unfolded, the millions of demon army were turned into powder, and their bodies and souls disappeared.

Among them are not only thousands of Taiyi Golden Immortals, but also more than a dozen Daluo Golden Immortals.

Saint Taiqing's meaning is very clear. This is still a warning to Heaven. If he dares to take action again, he will not be polite anymore.

This result was within Di Jun's expectation, but his face was still ugly.

At this moment, he suddenly realized.

It turns out that the reason why the demon clan discovered the Witch-Slaying Sword and made such a decision was because of the calculation of heaven and earth, and was the general trend. It was just a tool to test the human race.

If the Lich clan were defeated, then the human clan, with the support of two saints, would surely take their place and occupy the leading role in the world.

Whether it’s for the Great Dao or for the demon clan, in the ensuing war between the lich and the demons, Heavenly Court can only win, not lose!

If he succeeds, he will rule the world and become the true Emperor of Heaven. The demon clan will also become the eternal protagonist of the ancient world, and the saint will bow his head before the heaven.

Failure means everything is in vain. After experiencing this, the demon clan has no way back.

The only thing he can do now is to refine the Witch-Slaying Sword and prepare a retreat for the demon clan in advance.

The Demon Clan and the Witch Clan have been fighting for so many years, and Di Jun may know each other better than the Witch Clan itself. Faced with such an enemy, no matter how conceited he is, he does not think that he can win with the Witch Slayer Sword.

…

After Saint Taiqing took action, Emperor Jun ordered the demon army to retreat.

The human souls floating between heaven and earth, as well as the souls of other living beings who died tragically during this period, are now either taken away by the demon clan or taken into the underworld.

It was considered that everything had gone home, and Huanglong stopped continuing, closed the Jiuyou Soul Suppressing Umbrella, and returned to Yunyin Taoist Temple.

at the same time.

The black umbrella that covered the entire prehistoric sky also disappeared at this time, and the sky became bright again.

And this was also a signal. Seeing this situation, Styx and others dispersed from the formation.

The projection of the Youhe River all over the ancient wasteland disappeared, and the five ghost gates that towered above the sky returned to peace.

The black mist everywhere in the prehistoric era all dissipated. After the Yin difference returned to the underworld through the projection of the ghost gate, these projections also disappeared together.

Just like Huanglong never took action, the forces from the Netherworld never came to the human world.

Just as it appeared, everything disappeared as suddenly and without warning.

…

The ancestral land of the human race, Kongtong Mountain.

Under the leadership of the three ancestors of the Suiren clan, the Youchao clan and the Ziyi clan, it took the human race hundreds of years to collect the bones of their fellow humans.

They built a huge tomb at the foot of Kongtong Mountain and set up an altar, on which were placed the heads of many demon clans, as well as the best, even dead Yin spirits, to offer sacrifices to the underworld.

The Suiren clan remained silent, walked to the front of the tomb, and lit the bones of his clan members with flint fire.

The desolate and low sacrificial sounds echoed in Kongtong Mountain, gradually drifting into the distance. This was the first and largest fire sacrifice in the history of the human race!

The Netherworld has become the most revered region in the hearts of the human race, and its status has grown by leaps and bounds!

The most important thing for the clan lies in sacrifice and military affairs!

From then on, worshiping ancestors and the underworld became an important matter for the human race, and the fortune of the underworld increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this scene, Huang Long showed a smile on his face.

In this way, the hard work of the Netherworld would not be in vain.

As long as no major changes occur, the underworld's position in the human race will be stable.

When the human race becomes the protagonist of heaven and earth in the future, the destiny of the underworld will continue to grow as a result. Under the long stream of water, the status of the underworld in the human race will not be weaker than that of the Xuanmen heaven in the future.

Huang Long also responded to the human race's sacrifice in a timely manner, and an indescribable voice echoed in the ears of the human race.

Although it was indescribable, they heard the meaning very clearly.

"The wronged souls of the human race who died tragically will be reincarnated as humans first..."

You Chao and others were delighted when they heard this, and hurriedly paid homage to the direction of Huang Long's statue.

"The Nine Netherworlds Wusheng Rescue the Suffering and the Disasters Great Emperor is merciful!"

Huang Long's status in the hearts of the human race increased again.

...

After doing this, Huang Long came to Youdu Mountain.

Unknowingly, it was three thousand years later.

This day.

The huge Youdu Mountain trembled slightly, attracting the attention of many creatures in the Netherworld.

Before they could notice anything, they saw a huge black umbrella floating above Youdu Mountain, calming the restless Youdu Mountain and blocking the gaze of outsiders.

No one knew what happened in Youdu Mountain, but no one was panicked. This was the Netherworld, and with the Yellow Dragon Saint in charge, what could possibly happen?

Even if the Heavenly Saint came, he would have to lie down obediently!

Seeing that they could not see anything, all the creatures withdrew their gazes and were busy with their own affairs.

At the same time, in Youdu Mountain, the Netherworld Palace.

Huang Long sat cross-legged on the edge of Yin Lake, watching a beautiful figure gradually emerge from the water.

She had a proud figure, with curves and curves. She was wearing a black long skirt, and her two white jade-like feet were not wearing shoes and socks. She stood on the water and looked around in a daze.

"I am..."

Her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and a bit of pain appeared on her face. After a long time, her eyebrows were relaxed again, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

"I am... the Nine Nether Ghost Mother!"

She figured out many things, knew who she was, knew her experiences in the ancient times, and knew that she...

was resurrected!

She looked at the Yellow Dragon on the shore with gratitude in her eyes.

"You saved me... Gurgle Gurgle..."

But just as she took a step and was about to thank him, she suddenly missed a step and fell into the Yin Lake. The cold lake water wet her clothes, further highlighting her proud figure.

But she didn't care about her embarrassed appearance at this time. Her eyes were full of confusion and fear.

"Where is my cultivation?"

She is the Nine Nether Ghost Mother, a congenital sacred from the same period as Hongjun.

But now, she can't even stand on the water. She has Taoism in her body, but no magic power, just like an ordinary person.

Seeing this, Huang Long gently waved his sleeves and fished her out of the water, shaking his head helplessly.

"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, listen to me carefully."

The Nine Nether Ghost Mother was suppressed by Hongjun and Tiandao. Even with Huang Long's current cultivation, he couldn't bypass Tiandao and Hongjun to rescue her.

During the catastrophe of the human race, Huang Long deliberately covered the entire prehistoric world with the Nine Nether Soul-Calming Umbrella, so that the range of Ghost Gate and Nether River could be expanded as much as possible, increasing the influence of the tunnel.

One of the unknown secrets is that when the power of the tunnel covers the entire prehistoric world, a wisp of the true spirit of the Nine Nether Ghost Mother resonates, thereby rescuing her.

The Nine Nether Ghost Mother is the original agent of the tunnel, so she can use this method to bypass the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun and restore her true spirit to freedom.

In other words, the current Nine Nether Ghost Mother is just a wisp of true spirit, and she is not really resurrected.
