Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence-Chapter 775 - 354: Cycle of Karma

As the Black-Robed Emperor's Imperial Edict descended, that enclave which had established itself as a Netherworld territory separated from the Deepest Netherworld and began to merge into the Primal Chaos Realm.

Inside the kingdom of Hell, the 5 Regions Ghost Emperors and the 10th Hall Yama watched the scene with grim faces. Though their words were vehement, not a single Golden Immortal dared to truly interfere with the Black-Robed Emperor's decree.

They could only watch helplessly as the Netherworld seized a portion of the reincarnation authority from the kingdom of Hell, freeing the Primal Chaos Realm from the reincarnation system of the myriad worlds.

The figure of the Black-Robed Emperor, which had manifested above the Deepest Netherworld, quietly dissipated, leaving behind a disturbed Netherworld.

The voices of the high-ranking supernatural beings and the Ghost Emperor Yama King began to spread throughout the entire kingdom of Hell.

"Lord of Mount Tai has acted recklessly and allowed the Primal Chaos Realm to separate from the heavenly order of reincarnation. He's shaking the very foundation of our kingdom of Hell."

"If other great chiliocosms follow suit, creating enclaves independent of the kingdom of Hell, wouldn't they consider our kingdom of Hell non-existent?"

"This matter is absolutely not trivial and must be dealt with seriously!"

"I propose we send a Deepest Netherworld envoy to the Primal Chaos Realm to thoroughly investigate this matter of the Netherworld."

The multitude of discussions resounded through the Deepest Netherworld, with many high-ranking supernatural beings speaking righteously, as if they couldn't wait to destroy that newly born Netherworld territory in the Primal Chaos Realm.

Just then, a piercing voice suddenly rang out.

"Eastern Peak Great Emperor has long returned to the Heavenly Court. His Judges have visited the Heavenly Court several times without ever paying homage to Eastern Peak Great Emperor.

Moreover, Houtu, Queen Mother of All Land, has not appeared in the world for ninety thousand years. On what grounds should we send a Deepest Netherworld envoy to thoroughly examine the Primal Chaos Realm?"

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Upon hearing this, the previously discussing high-ranking supernatural beings fell into a momentary silence.

They talked of thoroughly investigating the Primal Chaos Realm and the Netherworld, but everyone knew that a true investigation would inevitably involve the ruler of the Netherworld, the Lord of Mount Tai.

Below the Highest Heaven Realm, no powerful expert was qualified to meddle in the matter; only two people in the entire kingdom of Hell were qualified to get involved.

One was the ruler of the kingdom of Hell, Eastern Peak Great Emperor, who supervised the Netherworld before the rise of the Lord of Mount Tai. After the Lord of Mount Tai gained control over the origin of the Great Netherworld Path and became the true ruler of Netherworld, the Eastern Peak Great Emperor left to return to the Upper World Heavenly Court and no longer concerned himself with Netherworld affairs.

Even if Eastern Peak Great Emperor could be found, this Divinity Path Emperor who had failed in the struggle for Netherworld authority had no right to send a Deepest Netherworld envoy after Lord of Mount Tai.

Thus, within the entire kingdom of Hell, the only one capable of making a decision was the Houtu, Queen Mother of All Land, the Ancient One and powerful expert who personally created the Six Paths of Reincarnation and founded the kingdom of Hell.

In the era when the Heavenly Court was first established, Houtu was once one of the Four Heavenly Ministers, a supreme being second only to the Almighty Three Pure Ones. It was only because the Heavenly Court was established on the Divinity Path that Houtu stepped out of the ministerial system.

Since then, Houtu had returned to the Earth Emperor's Palace and had not appeared in the world for ninety thousand years.

The current 5 Regions Ghost Emperors, who command billions of supernatural beings, owe their positions to having served Houtu. Even the Eastern Peak Great Emperor and the Lord of Mount Tai must give them due respect, which is why they can influence the order of the kingdom of Hell.

Now that the Lord of Mount Tai had blatantly ignored these unspoken rules, they reflexively wanted to threaten as they had done before, only to realize that, apart from Houtu, they had no one else to intimidate the Lord of Mount Tai.

After a while, the Central Ghost Emperor, leader of the 5 Regions Ghost Emperors, spoke with a grim expression:

"I will personally go to the Earth Emperor's Palace to report this matter to Houtu."

"But before that, I'd like to see what kind of agreement our ruler of Netherworld has reached with the Great Yin's Mortal Emperor, to allow him to take such drastic measures as splitting the kingdom of Hell."

Although the attitude remained as firm as ever, there was no longer the prior arrogance.

The hearts of the many high-ranking supernatural beings were startled, but on the surface, they still responded respectfully:

"We shall follow the Central Ghost Emperor's decree."

...

The manifestation of the Divine Skills in the form of the Black-Robed Emperor returned to Mount Tai Palace. The vision of the Deepest Netherworld reflected in Shen Yuan's eyes seated on the Mount Tai King's throne slowly faded away.

Severing a corner of the kingdom of Hell to create the Netherworld, such Divine Skills were naturally far beyond Shen Yuan's current realm of ability.

It was with the residue of the origin of the Great Netherworld Path on the Mount Tai King's throne, combined with the Unimpeded Netherworld Divine Power he mastered, that Shen Yuan re-enacted the Lord of Mount Tai's pantheon position using the Great Tao Manifestation, borrowing the Lord of Mount Tai's authority to accomplish this feat.

Unlike Donghua Shaoyang Emperor, whose false presence still reflected in this space-time, the Lord of Mount Tai had completely perished in this time-space. Even if Shen Yuan evolved the Highest Heaven Emperor's pantheon position using the Great Tao Manifestation, he had no need to worry about being replaced by the Lord of Mount Tai.

"The only regret is that this creation of the Netherworld has consumed the already scarce origin of the Great Netherworld Path from the Mount Tai King's throne. Even if the Lord of Mount Tai's pantheon position is forcibly evolved later, it will no longer possess today's prestige," Shen Yuan sighed softly, but he had already anticipated this outcome.

Nevertheless, he had not pinned his hopes on relying on the Lord of Mount Tai's pantheon position. For him, this evolution was just an opportunity to utilize.

With the Netherworld cradled in his left hand, Shen Yuan looked impassively towards Bull Head kneeling below the throne.

"Bull Head, heed my command!"

Bull Head's body trembled, and he immediately bowed his head and knelt on the ground.

"The Primal Chaos Realm is about to face an unprecedented calamity; the Great Schism will form, but the Primal Chaos Realm cannot be without an order of life and death reincarnation for even a day."
