Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

Mo Yu affirmed, "Sister, that's right, it's Lord Taishan. Back then, that old bastard used his position as Houtu's superior to keep us from being together. I was so annoyed by him."

Upon hearing this, Houtu Niangniang glared at Moyu.

"Don't insult my lord. Besides, why bring up those old, trivial matters? I never agreed to date you."

Mo Yu said with dissatisfaction, "Hou Tu, that's not fair of you! If it weren't for my intervention to help Lord Taishan preserve the Ancient Underworld out of respect for you, you two would have been dealt with by that strange old man long ago."

"You old geezer, I heard you had amnesia? You remember these things so clearly!"

Houtu Niangniang looked at Moyu again.

I had some doubts in my mind; was he lying all along?

Mo Yu said without any hesitation, "I have lost some of my memories, but the part about you is unforgettable for me."

You know, you're my first love. Who wasn't a pure love warrior when they were young?

Even now, Houtu, I still love you!

Hear this.

Not only did Houtu Niangniang want to hit him, but even Lingyun wanted to slap him across the face.

"Stop it, you old geezer. I'm rejecting you one last time. I don't love you, I've never even liked you. We're just acquaintances, not even good friends, do you understand?"

The Goddess Houtu rejected him without hesitation.

Mo Yu said nonchalantly, "I was just saying that casually! As the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, I'm too busy with my career to have time for romance!"

Houtu Niangniang gave him a disdainful look.

"Bah! Scumbag!"

Ling Yun interrupted their bickering and asked, "Have you two forgotten that I lost my memory? Who exactly is the Lord of Mount Tai?"

Mo Yu said, "Sister, Lord Taishan is just an old thing that won't die."

Upon hearing this, Houtu angrily rebuked him, "You old geezer, if you dare to insult my lord again, believe me, I'll turn against you."

Ling Yun was afraid that Mo Yu would continue to act foolishly and anger the Goddess Houtu.

So Ling Yun stopped Mo Yu before he could speak.

"Shut up, I want to talk to Houtu now."

Mo Yu had no choice but to obediently shut her mouth.

Ling Yun continued, "Goddess Houtu, can you tell me who exactly the Lord of Mount Tai is?"

Houtu Niangniang explained: "My lord is the ruler of the ancient underworld, and is in charge of the life and death of the ancient gods."

The ancient Netherworld is located in a different dimension beneath Mount Tai.

Therefore, my lord is called the Lord of Mount Tai.

Ling Yun pressed on, "Could you explain more clearly what the Ancient Netherworld is? Shouldn't the Ten Kings of Hell be the rulers of the underworld?"

Houtu Niangniang patiently explained to Lingyun: "During the primordial era, ordinary human beings had not yet appeared."

Within the universe, there are only ancient demon gods, demon races, witch races, and gods.

At that time, the underworld had not yet appeared.

In heaven and on earth, there is only one ancient underworld that governs the life and death of the ancient gods.

Later, several great calamities occurred in the world.

Countless ancient gods perished, their souls entering the ancient underworld, hoping to be resurrected through my lord's secret techniques.

My friend is easy to talk to; since we're all old friends, he welcomes everyone who comes.

He has a way to resurrect any ancient god whose soul is immortal.

However, this would violate the laws of nature.

People who were supposed to die always come back to life after they die.

If they stay quiet and don't cause trouble after they come back to life, that's fine.

But those ancient gods, oblivious to their own mortality, kept stirring up trouble and launching great wars, causing unrest in the world.

Ultimately, this aroused the displeasure of Heaven and the Creator.

The Creator believed that the existence of the ancient Netherworld and the Lord of Mount Tai seriously affected the order of Heaven.

Therefore, the Creator wanted to directly destroy the Ancient Netherworld and the Lord of Mount Tai, to prevent him from endlessly resurrecting those ancient gods later.

Out of respect for me, Heaven advised the Creator that instead of destroying the ancient Netherworld and the Lord of Mount Tai, it would be better to hide them and create a new Netherworld.

Anyway, the great calamity of heaven and earth is nearing its end, and most of the ancient gods have perished and cannot be resurrected.

In this way, if the creator suddenly wants to resurrect a fallen ancient god, someone will be there to help him.

The Creator thought the Heavenly Dao's words made sense, so he sealed the ancient Netherworld under Mount Tai.

At the same time, the underworld was established to replace the ancient netherworld.

This is the history of my lord and the ancient underworld.

Ling Yun nodded slightly.

"Goddess Houtu, since you and the Lord of Mount Tai were sealed under Mount Tai by that strange old man, the Creator, how did you two come to this land of death?"

Houtu Niangniang explained, "It seems like I should be asking you this question, not you! This place is actually an alternate dimension beneath Mount Tai!"

"what?"

"How can it be!"

Ling Yun and Mo Yu were both incredulous when they heard this.

After calming down.

Ling Yun countered with a question to Houtu Niangniang: "You told me before that the answer I've been searching for lies ahead. Is it in this ancient Netherworld?"

Houtu Niangniang shook her head.

In response to Ling Yun, he said, "I don't know about that. As for the matter of your memories being taken away, you should ask my king. He knows the most about it!"

"Lord Taishan? Where is he now? Please take me to see him."

Ling Yun didn't want to wait a moment longer.

The Earth Goddess said, "I have come to invite you on the orders of the King. The King is currently waiting to see you in the Ancient Netherworld Palace!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu offered, "Sister, that old bastard, Lord Taishan, is no good person. For safety's sake, I'll go with you."

Houtu Niangniang rejected him again.

“You can’t go. My king said he only wants to see Sister Lingyun.”

Mo Yu retorted irritably, "Pah! He says he won't see me, but he won't see me either! Do you people of the Ancient Netherworld have any conscience at all? Is this how you treat your savior?"

The Goddess Houtu said nonchalantly, "We wouldn't have treated you like this before. But after the Six-Party Agreement was signed, you are no longer the benefactor of my Ancient Netherworld. If my king doesn't want to see you, you can't go. Do you understand?"

Mo Yu retorted indignantly, "On what grounds? The Six-Party Agreement wasn't proposed by me alone. That old man was also involved. What right does he have to use this to accuse me?"

Houtu Niangniang glanced at him and said, "Then you should ask yourself what wicked things you did back then!"

Mo Yu became completely enraged at this point.

"Houtu, you have to explain yourself clearly today. What wicked thing did I do back then? If you can't tell me, I'm not done with you. Don't think you can bully me just because I like you. That's impossible!"
