Chapter 206: The Situation of the Spirit Realm and the Origin of the Underworld
Over the past thousand years, the only change in the history of Yuling may be that Yuling Shi Li, in order to monopolize power, sent his twin brother Yuling Shi Kan, who had different ideas and posed the greatest threat to him, to Qianji Heisha for imprisonment, and then appointed his own confidant to take the position of Yuling Shi Kan, the one with a big hat on his head, and finally took the Wheel of God out of the spirit realm. His clone was caught by Ying Chengfeng, and his real body escaped to Tanziying.
However, this is the plot in the comics. Under Li Ye's butterfly effect, it has not happened now. Yu Ling Shi Kan is still the same person, and he is incompatible with his twin brother Yu Ling Shi Li.
Yuling Shi Li values Li Ye, and wants to support Li Ye to be the boss of the Hall of Heroes, while Yuling Shi Kan values Xiang Kunlun, and wants to support Xiang Kunlun to be the boss of the Hall of Heroes. Both of them now hope that the people they support will win, take over the Hall of Heroes, expand their political capital, gain greater voice in the Spirit Realm, gain greater power, and have a higher status.
Yuling Shili Li was appointed by the previous Great Yutian as a minister to be entrusted with the care of the young emperor. He has the highest status, the most authority, and the greatest momentum among the eight Yulingshi today. He is at the peak of his career. Once Li Ye defeats Xiang Kunlun, he can take the opportunity to defeat all his political enemies, seize power alone, and monopolize the spiritual realm.
If Xiang Kunlun defeats Li Ye, Yuling Shi Li will suffer a severe blow. Yuling Shi Kan, Yuling Shi Zhen, Yuling Shi Qian and other political enemies who openly oppose Yuling Shi Li can take this opportunity to weaken Yuling Shi Li's power and reputation. They will take the opportunity to take power, seize this power, enhance their own authority and status, and change the current situation where Yuling Shi Li has great power in the court and the country.
Whether for his own considerations or for future plans, Li Ye must defeat Xiang Kunlun. The Hall of Heroes is very important and he must hold it in his own hands.
Li Ye also hopes to see Yuling Shili monopolizing the Spirit Realm, holding all power and making arbitrary decisions. The reason is simple: Yuling Shili is not a capable minister who can govern the country. The Spirit Realm will only decline rapidly in his hands. His character of hating human beings will inevitably intensify the conflict between the human soul-suppressing generals and the Spirit Realm. Moreover, the Great Yutian will be willing to be a mascot and puppet without real power, who is at the mercy of Yuling Shili. The Spirit Realm must be in chaos. Only when the Spirit Realm is in chaos will he, Li Ye, have the opportunity to trample upon the underworld and destroy the Spirit Realm.
……
The word "Zhou" written in small seal script on his cuffs indicated his identity.
North District, Zhou family.
There is no shortage of large families in the underworld. The offspring born to the spirit-hosting people in the underworld can live in the underworld even if they have no spiritual power, do not have the physical constitution of the spirit-hosting people, and cannot practice the way of hell.
The young man in green clothes took a look at the map handed over by his subordinates and said to the spirit master behind him:
"Lord Qing Yi, we are very close to our destination. We will arrive in less than two days."
"Zhou Xing, this time we are all very grateful to you, but remember, this time, the news must not be leaked, and no one can know about our actions. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
The spirit master Qing Yi first praised the young man in front of him, and then warned the young man with a very stern look.
The young man named Zhou Xing immediately nodded solemnly.
There are irreconcilable contradictions between the Yuling Clan and humans, and between the Spirit Realm and the Soul-Suppressing Generals. Although this contradiction has not yet erupted, the two sides still appear to be living in harmony, the human Soul-Suppressing Generals still guard Soul-Suppressing Street, and the Yuling Clan still rules the Spirit Realm. However, this so-called harmony is extremely fragile. The contract that maintained the human Soul-Suppressing Generals and the Spirit Realm had long been torn up, but the Spirit Realm blocked the news, and the human Soul-Suppressing Generals were kept in the dark and were completely unaware.
In addition, as the underworld becomes more and more chaotic, all kinds of evil spirits and ferocious beasts emerge one after another. The Spirit Realm is constantly delegating power, and the authority of the Spirit Realm has become weaker and weaker. There are more and more ambitious people, and many people are eyeing the Spirit Realm, including Ying Chengfeng, Huangfu Longdou, Xiang Kunlun, Azazel, and Li Ye.
Troubled times are a paradise for ambitious people, and a stage for them to thrive. Those with great vision can naturally find opportunities in chaos. The birth of a generation of heroes is inseparable from the influence of the times and environment. In troubled times, ambitious people have a stage to thrive, and all kinds of talents can be displayed, and even the dark side has surfaced. History is like a car in a bloody storm, rolling forward, a new generation constantly emerging, and old forces constantly being eliminated.
Of course, the Yuling Clan has no shortage of loyal supporters. The Spirit Realm has ruled the underworld for thousands of years and has used humans to calm their souls for more than a thousand years. Naturally, it has also cultivated a number of human forces for its own use. Almost all of them are families that are dependent on the Spirit Realm and rely on the Spirit Realm to gain an extraordinary status, such as the Zhou family in front of them.
Because these families are highly bound to the Spirit Realm, are supported by the Spirit Realm, and are completely dependent on the Spirit Realm, so even the Spirit Realm's shameful secrets can be driven to be completed by them.
……
On the other side, Li Ye and Li Qingmu were riding their horses slowly side by side, and Li Ye was explaining the secrets of the spiritual realm to Li Qingmu.
"The origin of the underworld is a long story"
"A long, long time ago, many ancient gods of the Great Thousand Worlds discovered a region outside the Great Thousand Worlds that was filled with a cold and dark atmosphere. They joined forces to drive away the darkness here, and then used this region as a foundation to open up a wider and more vast area. Thus, the Underworld was created by the ancient gods."
"Because this area is suitable for the survival of the dead, the ancient gods named it the Underworld, as a world dedicated to gathering the dead."
"But the new world was not stable. In order to maintain the stability of the underworld, the ancient god found four magical seeds from the universe. Based on these four seeds, he infused a huge amount of divine power and added various treasures to create four sacred trees, namely the Linghuai, Longtao, Diyu, and Fusang."
"The locust tree is located on Luosha Street in the western part of the underworld. It was formerly called Wuming Street. It can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and convert it into its own energy. If the host and the dead can eat the leaves or branches of the locust tree, their spiritual power will increase greatly. Therefore, there are always dense dead spirits and evil spirits around the locust tree all year round."
This is Luosha Street, which is guarded by the protagonist Cao Yanbing in the plot. The reason why Luosha Street is known as the neighborhood with the most evil spirits is because there are locust trees growing here.
"The Dragon Peach Tree is located on Shuiyun Street in the northern part of the underworld."
This is the Soul Street guarded by Yu Chan in the plot.
"The Imperial Elm Tree is located on Xuanlong Street in the eastern part of the underworld."
This is the Zhenhun Street guarded by Sun Zhantian in the plot.
"The Fusang tree is located in the Nandou Street in the southern part of the underworld, in the Tanlang Castle."
