Chapter 681: Busy Ghosts and Gods in the Underworld

With the return of the last one-third of the gods of the earthly immortal lineage, Zhen Yuanzi felt that the mission bestowed upon him by heaven and earth was completely accomplished. For the rest of his life, he only needed to send out a clone to guard Wanshou Mountain and supervise the gods he had pardoned to perform their duties. As for Zhen Yuanzi's original body, he could enter the chaos and continue his hard training!

While Zhen Yuanzi was feeling happy that he could enter the Primal Chaos to practice hard, the tunnels also underwent another transformation when the earthly immortals were completely distributed throughout the prehistoric world and all began to fulfill their duties. The foundation of the tunnels increased again, and it became easier for the dead souls to enter the underworld after death!

As the controller of the tunnel, Houtu also noticed the tunnel's transformation again and was very happy. However, Houtu also understood that after the underworld and the earthly immortal palace returned to their original positions, it would be difficult for the tunnel to improve its foundation so quickly!

But there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, if the development of the three paths of heaven, earth and man can really be rapid, then who would be willing to take it slow and improve their strength bit by bit?

In addition to these things that help the rapid development of the tunnel, there are also various things to do in daily life to capture the dead souls! Since Hou Tu stipulated that the lifespan of creatures below the Golden Immortal has a limit, the soul arrester not only needs to deal with those dead souls who died unexpectedly before their lifespan is over, but also needs to deal with those living beings who died of old age!

After so many years of continuous reproduction, the blood strength of most races in the prehistoric world has become lower and lower, and the qualifications of the creatures are becoming worse and worse. Many of the myriad races in the prehistoric world died of old age but were unwilling to return to the underworld!

After the Soul Binding Messengers were organized, they were all blessed with the power of the earth. Under the blessing of the power of the earth, the Soul Binding Messengers were extremely restrained when facing the souls. Unless the cultivation of the dead soul was two small realms higher than that of the Soul Binding Messengers, they would not have the slightest ability to resist!

It's just that after so many years of accumulation, there are many living beings in the prehistoric world who have died of old age. This means that even if the Soul-Catching Messenger has obtained the method of splitting himself from the tunnel, there is still an urgent need for Soul-Catching Messengers before all those who have died of old age in the prehistoric world are captured!

Faced with the urgent shortage of Soul-Binding Messengers, Houtu decided to temporarily expand the team of Soul-Binding Messengers and directly recruited the Asuras of the Styx. However, even if the entire Asura clan was recruited, the number of Soul-Binding Messengers was still tight, which resulted in the Soul-Binding Messengers having to live a life without holidays all year round!

If the Soul-Catching Messengers were not aware that such busy days were only temporary, perhaps they would have chosen to quit under the pressure of such a busy life!

It would be fine if the Soul-Catching Messenger was busy capturing the souls of the dead every day. Some high-ranking members of the myriad tribes in the prehistoric world clearly knew that not allowing the souls of the dead who had died of natural causes to enter the underworld would hinder the development of the underworld. However, in order not to let the tribe lose too much power, they resolutely chose to hinder the Soul-Catching Messenger from capturing the souls of the dead!

Although all positions in the underworld are now filled by living beings, due to the large number of dead souls entering the underworld, the ghosts and gods in various positions are still unable to do so even if they have the method to split themselves.

For example, Houtu herself, because the Six Paths of Samsara Disk is already overloaded, causing the reincarnation system to show signs of imminent collapse. In order to increase the working efficiency of the Six Paths of Samsara Disk, Houtu has no choice but to sit in charge of the Six Paths of Samsara Disk herself!

It is precisely because the underworld really cannot spare the manpower that when faced with those races that hinder the Soul Catcher from taking souls, the underworld can only choose to temporarily retreat and wait until the manpower is free before dealing with these races!

Things soon took a turn for the better. After Minghe successfully achieved the Dao of Hunyuan, Houtu immediately came to ask for help, wanting Minghe to go and deal with those races that were preventing the dead souls from returning to the underworld!

As a famous master of clones in the prehistoric world, after achieving the status of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, Minghe's clone method has also been improved to a certain extent. With the help of a large number of clones sent out by Minghe, those races that hindered the souls of the dead from returning to the underworld were conquered by Minghe's virtue, and finally changed their ways, allowing Minghe to take all the souls of the dead away at once!
