Chapter 780: Dizang Enters the Underworld
After seeing that Dizang had been trained, Jie Yin and Zhunti began their next plan! Although the seats in the underworld were now almost fully occupied, and the quality of the grassroots Soul Collectors was sufficient to deal with the spirits of those fallen creatures, the number of Soul Collectors was still slightly insufficient, especially after the rapid reproduction of the human race, the number of Soul Collectors seemed to be even more insufficient.
After all, most humans have a short lifespan, and in the eyes of the soul-collecting messengers of the underworld, they are not much different from mayflies that are born and die in a day. A large number of humans die every moment, and the soul-collecting missions are countless.
Fortunately, the underworld chose to cooperate with the Earth Immortal Palace, allowing the mountain gods, land gods, city gods, river gods and earth immortals to help collect souls. The soul-collecting messengers of the underworld regularly go to their divine realms to take away the dead souls. Otherwise, if the soul-collecting messengers of the underworld only rely on themselves, even if they work themselves to death, they will never be able to complete the soul-collecting mission.
It is precisely because the human race is so large in number and the number of people dying every moment is so huge that even with the help of the City God and his subordinates, it is impossible to bring back all the souls of the dead!
It is precisely because they are aware that they cannot completely complete their tasks, so they choose to turn a blind eye to those dead souls who immediately turn into ghosts to avoid being captured by the underworld!
As long as they don't do anything major that would anger heaven and man, the underworld will basically ignore those who escape reincarnation. However, regardless of whether they care or not, if they choose to avoid the soul-collecting messenger, then no matter what the reason, as long as they still want to reincarnate, they must go through the eighteen levels of hell!
Although Dizang knew that there were ghost gates connecting to the underworld everywhere in the world, out of respect for Hou Tu Niangniang, he chose to enter the underworld through the gate of the Netherworld Sea of Blood!
On the way to the underworld, Dizang was not idle. He was saving people as he walked. When Dizang arrived at the ghost gate of the sea of blood in the underworld, he was followed by a large group of souls who had been saved and were unwilling to enter the cycle of reincarnation!
Although Hou Tu knew of Dizang's arrival, she had never imagined that his arrival would cause such a grand scene. However, despite the grand scene, no one paid any attention to Dizang, a little Karami!
After entering the Ghost Gate, Dizang saw the messenger who came to meet him and the soul-collecting messenger who was temporarily arranged to lead this group of dead souls through the process!
Although Dizang knew clearly that more than 99% of these dead souls were thrown into hell as punishment before reincarnation, which had nothing to do with the ideas in the scriptures he had talked about before, and it was impossible for them to lay down their butcher knives and become Buddhas on the spot, and directly let them reincarnate, Dizang would become a person who broke his promise. However, Dizang would not and dared not refute the arrangements of the underworld. After all, if because of his temporary kindness, the opportunity that the Western Church had finally given him disappeared, he would not forgive himself even if he died!
In the end, Dizang could only watch as these souls were taken away by the soul-collecting messenger, but he could do nothing! Under the guidance of the messenger arranged by Hou Tu, Dizang was taken to the Eighteen Levels of Hell, the place of execution for the wrongdoings of living beings in their lifetime!
Looking at the miserable plight of the dead souls, Dizang couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart. The messenger also noticed the change in Dizang's mood, so he cited several cases and told him that these dead souls had brought it upon themselves and there was no need to sympathize with them!
However, Dizang felt that the underworld should give these dead souls who had made mistakes a chance to reform, but he also knew that the local tyrants could not be defeated. He had just arrived, and no matter how many ideas he had, he could not realize his wishes!
Under the guidance of the messenger, Dizang was taken to the lowest level of the Eighteen Hells, the so-called Avici Hell! Those imprisoned here were basically those who had committed serious sins but refused to repent. Dizang's mission was to enlighten these souls, make them realize their mistakes, and sincerely atone for their sins!
After hearing the task assigned by the messenger sent by Houtu, Dizang was overwhelmed. The souls suffering in the Avici Hell either had a firm heart or had extremely strong obsessions. It was extremely difficult for Dizang to save them and make them realize their mistakes!
