Junior Uncle is too cunning.

Just as Chen Fusheng and the others left Kunlun Mountain and headed towards the underworld, the Xuandu Grand Master of the Human Sect, along with the Demon-Slaying Marshal and others, also left Shouyang Mountain, while Duobao Daoist led Yunxiao and the others out of Jin'ao Island.

At this time, not only the Three Pure Ones of Taoism, but also the Western Buddhism, which had been sending people to Jambudvipa (the southern continent of the Western Paradise) recently, dispatched the Medicine King Bodhisattva and others.

The Kunpeng Ancestor of Beihai, the Wuzhuang Temple of Wanshou Mountain, the Styx Ancestor of the Blood Sea... all appeared in the world. Although they only flashed by, all cultivators who had reached the Immortal Realm sensed them, especially those with higher cultivation levels, whose senses were stronger.

With the approach of the Goddess Pingxin's Christmas, many people are participating, and even the war-torn Southern Continent is temporarily forgotten.

Christmas is a holiday that only saints celebrate, and it is held only once every era. This Christmas is the tenth Christmas of Lady Pingxin, which is considered perfect. Therefore, Lady Pingxin and the entire underworld attach great importance to this Christmas.

Even the usually gloomy and dark underworld regained some vitality after the arrival of many powerful beings.

The following day, auspicious five-colored clouds appeared in the underworld, and under the spotlight of many powerful beings, Lady Pingxin finally revealed her true form.

Led by Grand Master Xuandu, Chen Fusheng and Li Shundao, along with Guang Chengzi and others, bowed to Lady Pingxin and said, "Wishing Your Majesty a Merry Christmas and further progress on the Great Dao of Hunyuan."

Empress Pingxin's face was expressionless, showing neither joy nor sorrow. She waved her hand at the crowd, and countless golden flowers of merit scattered around, filling the air with fragrance. Even cultivators like Chen Fusheng and Li Shundao, who were at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, felt much more comfortable under the golden flowers of merit.

Seeing the generosity of the Empress Pingxin, Chen Fusheng and Li Shundao were secretly astonished. Although each of them did not receive many merit flowers, the sheer number of people present—hundreds of them—made it possible for them to receive so many merit flowers that they were almost equal to the amount Chen Fusheng had accumulated over the years.

As expected of the Lord of the Underworld, in terms of merit and fortune alone, it is estimated that only Nuwa, the saint who created the human race, can compare to her in the entire prehistoric world. Even the Three Pure Ones and the two Western Saints cannot compare.

The full title of Empress Pingxin is Chengtian Xiaofa Houde Guangda Houtu Huangdiqi. She is a revered deity in Taoism and the fourth of the Six Emperors of Heaven. She governs Yin and Yang and nurtures all things, and is therefore known as the Mother of the Earth.

Actually, while Lady Pingxin is said to be ranked fourth among the six emperors of Heaven, apart from the Jade Emperor, she is actually ranked second in terms of status, or even on par with the Jade Emperor. It's just that she has the affairs of the Underworld to manage, so she is ranked fourth.

The primitive worship of heaven and earth by all races in the primordial world stemmed from their own inherent nature of worshipping heaven and earth. As for the worship of the land, they did not worship the land itself, but rather the main reason for their worship was that they felt the land was vast and boundless, with inexhaustible power, nurturing and bearing all things, and was the source of their survival, from which they could not live without food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.

Putting aside other matters, in Chen Fusheng's memory, in his previous life, there were many feudal dynasties, from emperors to ordinary people, who all greatly worshipped this god. In Chinese history, large-scale sacrificial ceremonies for this god were held every year, often presided over by the emperor himself.

Although Lady Pingxin is said to be the fourth emperor, her status is actually only below that of the Jade Emperor, the Great Celestial Venerable. After all, in the prehistoric world, people greatly revered heaven and earth, and heaven and earth held the same status in their hearts. It was only because Lady Pingxin had a lot of affairs to attend to in the underworld that she did not usually go to the Heavenly Court, which is why she was ranked fourth.

The reason why Lady Pingxin has so much merit to squander is mainly due to her previous incarnation, the Earth Goddess. In addition, the Underworld is an indispensable place of order in the prehistoric world. After all, the Underworld is the place that regulates the balance of Yin and Yang. As long as there are people dying and spirits in the prehistoric world, the Underworld is needed to transform them. For each spirit transformed, the Underworld will gain merit. As the ruler of the Underworld, Lady Pingxin will automatically receive a portion of the merit. Although the merit obtained from each spirit is not much, the Underworld reports a large number of people every day and every year. Little by little, the merit adds up to a considerable amount each year.

The previous incarnation of Lady Pingxin was Lady Houtu, one of the ancestral witches of the Wu tribe. She was the Earth Ancestral Witch among the Twelve Ancestral Witches. In ancient times, when the Wu tribe and the demons were in confrontation, the Wu tribe had a great array called the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Array, which was a major weapon for the Wu tribe to fight against the demons. Even when facing saints, the Wu tribe could protect itself with the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Array. As the Earth Ancestral Witch, Lady Houtu was the key to the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Array. After all, earth is the land, which encompasses all things. Lady Houtu was indispensable for the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Array to be fully activated.

In ancient times, the witches and demons were locked in a standoff, and all races took sides, resulting in constant battles and heavy casualties.

Houtu once passed by Buzhou Mountain and saw the dead suffering greatly. She was filled with sorrow and wondered why these souls, after enduring some torment, could be reincarnated and reborn as humans.

Although Houtu Niangniang was born into the Wu clan, she was different from the other ancestral witches. She did not have as much malevolence. She was originally compassionate, but her mind was easily swayed. After many days of deep thought, she slowly arrived at the Blood Sea Land under the impetus of many hidden forces and the Heavenly Dao.

At that time, the Styx Ancestor had just created the Asura race from the dead and the sea of ​​blood, following Nuwa's idea of ​​creating humans. Seeing the dead being constantly swallowed by the sea of ​​blood and the Asura race that were transformed, Houtu, the Goddess of the Underworld, had a flash of inspiration and actually came up with the idea of ​​the Six Paths of Reincarnation! At this moment, she forgot that she was still a great god of the Witch Clan and should be working for the survival of the Witch Clan! Her only thought was how to save more people from suffering and how to free these dead souls from torment!

Houtu finally came up with a solution. In the end, she transformed herself into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, allowing the souls of all the dead to be reincarnated again within a certain period of time! She established the Underworld herself, never to emerge again, and eternally suppressed the Underworld!

When she finished doing all this, great merit descended from heaven, and Houtu Niangniang actually became a saint! It was because of Houtu Niangniang's great achievement that when her ancestral witch body faded away, a trace of her true spirit was preserved by the Heavenly Dao, forming the current Pingxin Niangniang.

Although Houtu Niangniang... no, Pingxin Niangniang successfully transferred to the immortal path and cultivated a primordial spirit by relying on the enormous merit of creating the underworld, she herself directly achieved the quasi-saint path. From then on, the human race and other races were born and died, and they lived and died in an orderly manner in the six paths of reincarnation established by Houtu Niangniang!

Houtu Niangniang (Goddess Houtu) found a home for those suffering souls and a path to reincarnation for those who didn't know where to go! All of this was due to her compassionate heart. For this, she sacrificed herself, establishing the Six Paths of Reincarnation, forever unable to escape and eternally suppressing the Underworld. This is why Houtu Niangniang did all this—it was because of her compassionate heart! But Heaven did not fail her. When she sacrificed herself to establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation, finding a way out for suffering souls, she herself became a quasi-saint!

She could have directly broken through to the realm of sainthood by virtue of creating the underworld, just like the goddess Nuwa, who became a saint by creating the human race.

However, at this moment, she actually saw the future of the Witch Clan, and she couldn't help but feel sad. Originally, with the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Witch Clan still had a glimmer of hope. Now, without her as the Ancestral Witch, the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation could not be set up. In the end, Lady Pingxin directly gave up the opportunity to directly ascend to heaven and become a saint. She took out a portion of her fortune and merits and transferred them to the Witch Clan. This is why Lady Pingxin is now in the realm of supreme saint, which is above the quasi-saint realm but below the saint realm.
