She became a god
Chapter 286: Resentful Woman
In fact, the Underworld's position in the Six Realms was not as precarious as Angie imagined.
But Anqi lacked confidence.
The composition of cultivators in the underworld is extremely complex. Most of them are cultivators who refuse to reincarnate after their physical bodies die. These cultivators came from the Nine Continents and Four Seas in their previous lives, and their relationship with the other five realms is inextricably linked and complicated.
Throughout history, in the great war between the six realms, the underworld has always been the most easily drawn in.
Throughout history, the rulers of the underworld have all risen to power through ruthless means. Anyone who harbors mercy will be betrayed and killed by the evil spirits under their command.
The greatest reliance of the Lords of the Underworld is their control over the Book of Reincarnation and the Palace of Reincarnation, as well as their own strength.
Unlike other realm lords who have families, in-laws, and sects as their backing, he is not a true world lord.
In the underworld, those lords who are not ruthless or powerful enough often die at the hands of their own people.
Therefore, each ruler of the underworld would take in many disciples, both to raise poisonous insects and to cultivate useful talents for himself.
But Anqi dislikes taking on apprentices, and over the years she has only had two apprentices, Meng Jing and Ye Qingzhou.
Putting aside Ye Qingzhou's loyalty and ability, just based on her background in the demon realm, An Qi would never give her the opportunity to interfere in the affairs of the underworld.
Although Meng Jing is exceptionally talented, there is only one of her kind.
Two fists can't fight four hands. If Anqi were to unfortunately perish in the war between the six realms or the war of invasion by alien races, Meng Jing might not be able to support the underworld.
However, the alien races are coming in with great force, and the six realms are in turmoil.
A great battle is about to begin, and Angie cannot wait.
Anqi's gaze swept across the void. On the outermost edge of the Yunying Continent, elite troops from the Six Realms were stationed, guarding against those hostile extraterrestrial races.
Eight thousand years ago, an alien race descended upon the world, creating countless calamities.
Each of the six realms dispatched an army of 100,000 to garrison the border, but with little effect.
Thus, five thousand years ago, it was established that every three hundred years, the demon, heaven, human, Buddha, devil, and underworld would take turns sending a ruler of one of their realms to lead the six realms in fighting against the alien races from beyond the heavens.
Currently, the one guarding the Six Realms is the Human Lord, who is also the first Realm Lord of this era to reach the Great Perfection of the Mahayana stage.
In another hundred years, it will be Anqi's turn to guard the border and mobilize troops from all over the six realms to fight against the alien race.
Before that, if she could enter the Tribulation Stage, not only would the strength of the Underworld increase, but Anqi's own life safety would also be better guaranteed.
It's not uncommon for realm lords to die fighting against extraterrestrial races.
One thousand one hundred years ago, the previous demon lord, Qilinzi, died in the last year of his reign. Not only her, but also Feng Jiaojiao's mother, Feng Huayang, and her sister, Feng Wanwan, along with other elites from all walks of life, perished in that great battle.
Before his death, Qilinzi possessed unparalleled cultivation, being a mid-stage Tribulation Transcending cultivator.
No one expected that someone as powerful as her would die.
But she did not die in vain. Before she died, she burned her own essence and soul to unleash her strongest move, comparable to that of a god, taking the lives of all the alien races in that great battle.
Nevertheless, after her death, the demon realm fell into chaos, and the strength of the demon race declined, falling from the strongest realm to the weakest.
It wasn't until Feng Jiaojiao defeated countless races with her absolute power six hundred years ago that the order of the demon realm was restored, and it gradually rose to become the leader of the six realms.
Angie couldn't imagine that if she were to perish, the situation in the underworld would only get worse.
Even ZTE might not have a chance.
After all, the Underworld is deeply entangled with the other five realms in cause and effect, and any realm has a legitimate reason to interfere with the Underworld.
"Sigh!" Anqi exhaled a breath of turbid air. No matter what, she must break through to the Tribulation Transcending stage within a hundred years before suppressing the alien races from beyond the heavens, so as to win a guarantee for herself and the Underworld.
Having made up her mind, she immediately summoned Ye Qingzhou, took away the Eight Treasures Necklace, and as compensation, bestowed upon him a top-grade defensive spiritual treasure, the Azure Nether Armor, as compensation.
He then asked, "Do you know where Yuantong is? I need to see him."
Ye Qingzhou asked hesitantly, "Could it be because of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl?"
Anqi knew her apprentice was intelligent, so she did not deny it and nodded in agreement.
Ye Qingzhou hurriedly took out a string of beads woven from Bodhi beads and Dinghai beads. “It’s a coincidence that Yuantong gave me this as a coming-of-age gift, so I decided to offer it to my master.”
Anqi took it and examined it closely; it was indeed the Dinghai Pearl. She praised, "He really cares about you, his younger sister."
He added, "If there's anything you like, just go to the treasure vault and pick one out."
Ye Qingzhou smiled and said, "Then I'll have to choose carefully."
With the eighteen Sea-Stabilizing Pearls in hand, Anqi felt much more at ease.
Whatever Canghai Pavilion's intentions, I have the resources to deal with them.
Seeing that his master was calm and composed, Ye Qingzhou dared to reveal the matter that the Xuanyuan siblings had entrusted to him.
After listening, Anqi chuckled and said, "This matter is somewhat related to me as well."
It turns out that after Anqi ascended to the throne, she had been searching everywhere for the whereabouts of "Tales of the Underworld", and even entered the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm for this purpose.
In the Nine Netherworld, she encountered a vengeful woman whose soul was about to dissipate.
The Wraith was originally formed from the first wave of resentment between heaven and earth. However, as spiritual energy dwindled and evil energy proliferated, the Wraith's resentment corroded her own mind while she was constantly being devoured by evil energy.
In order to survive, the resentful woman begged Anqi to help her reincarnate and start anew, in exchange for offering her life-bound spiritual treasure, the Nine Nether Bell, to Anqi.
After making a verbal agreement, Anqi took away the part of the resentful woman's conscious spirit and carefully selected suitable mother and father for her.
After much difficulty, the mother was chosen, and the auspicious day for reincarnation was determined.
The resentful woman changed her mind and refused to give up her companion spirit treasure.
After a battle, the Nine Nether Bell was damaged and fled, and the resentful woman was reincarnated prematurely.
The resentful woman is a unique species born of nature. Even if it is only a partial reincarnation of her primordial spirit, it is by no means something that an ordinary mother body can sustain.
Although Yao Dan had some connection with the wronged woman, she still needed to rely on the originally designated auspicious day for reincarnation—the rare "Nine Yang Days"—to give birth smoothly.
Anqi hated the woman for breaking her promise. If it weren't for the chaos in the underworld at that time, she would have killed the woman long ago to avenge herself, and naturally she wouldn't have cleaned up the mess for her anymore.
Therefore, she was born into a family where her mother died, her ties with relatives were weak, and she was destined to be a lonely star.
"If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten about that faithless brat!"
Anqi gritted her teeth and said that in order to help the vengeful woman reincarnate, she did not hesitate to suffer the backlash of the laws of the Book of Reincarnation and went against the heavens, all in order to obtain the Nine Nether Bell to suppress the fate of the underworld.
But the resentful woman suddenly changed her mind. If she wanted to change her mind, she should have said so earlier!
Why should Anqi wait until she has suffered all her sins and taken on all her karma before suddenly saying that she can be reincarnated?
Thinking about this, Anqi felt that even the most ruthless methods couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.
If reincarnation and rebirth were not already a foregone conclusion, and further interference would only result in more backlash, how could Anqi possibly tolerate the resentful woman's reincarnation, Nuxi, living peacefully in this world?
However, as the saying goes, evil people will always be punished by evil people.
Nuwa's birth caused Yao Dan's death, thus incurring a karmic debt to Yao Dan, which ultimately fell upon Xuanyuan Yi.
Nuwa was born with extraordinary talent and good fortune because she was a resentful woman reincarnated, but she was still unable to defeat Xuanyuan Yi.
Of course, Xuanyuan Yi couldn't kill Nuwa, who was blessed with good fortune.
These two siblings, born of the same mother, could only torment each other, yet they could not kill each other.
The only possibility that could break this strange relationship is that one of them enters the Mahayana stage prematurely and kills the other.
