Chapter 1253: Chapters 1202-1203 Yin Department Opens Up, Six Paths of Reincarnation Emerge Chapter 1253: Chapters 1202-1203 Yin Department Opens Up, Six Paths of Reincarnation Emerge The interests of the Nether Yin Department were too great for the two parties to swallow.
Pei Xuanjing was indeed the strongest existence between heaven and earth. He could suppress any True Immortal, and if he exhausted all resources and spared no expense, Pei Xuanjing could even suppress all True Immortals.
But what was the meaning of such an outcome?
In the end, this outcome would only mean completely overturning the game board, destroying this world, and utterly reducing the heavens and the earth to ruins, destroying everything Pei Xuanjing had in an instant.
Why bother!
There are those who are not afraid of losing because they have nothing to lose, but the current Pei Xuanjing was no longer the barefoot man he had originally been; he was no longer himself. He had his own relatives and friends, and his own disciples and successors.
More critically, the current Pei Xuanjing was one of the rule-makers within this world, a beneficiary under these rules, even one of the greatest beneficiaries. Overturning the table, for him, would be a loss far outweighing any gain.
Even as a rule-maker and leader, what he needed to do was not merely to plunder benefits, but also to maintain these rules and the current situation. Only under such circumstances could he maximize his benefits and continually obtain more.
Overturning the table was not what he needed to do.
And as immense as the benefits of the Nether Yin Department were, they still could not compare with those of the Great Ming World.
Pei Xuanjing could indeed use his power and prestige to suppress all dissatisfaction and take over the Nether Yin Department alone, seizing all its benefits.
However, the result this would bring would lead to a loss that more than compensated for the gains; it would be the beginning of the collapse of the current situation, utterly destroying the cooperative framework Pei Xuanjing had painstakingly built with all the strong parties.
After all, as the one who sets the precedent, if the decision-makers themselves do not follow the rules, then how would others recognize his leadership and follow the subsequent plans?
In such a case, the whole world would revert to its original state of internal strife, preventing the opening up of the Heavenly Court and the upgrading plan of the world.
Therefore, the authority of the Nether Yin Department could belong to the Honored God Hou Tu, but the benefits of the Department could not be monopolized; rather, more forces had to be brought in to share them.
What was needed now was a plan, a plan to convince other True Immortals, a plan that would satisfy all parties and not affect the general situation, but could, on the contrary, inspire all parties to strive for progress and expansion.
Following this, Pei Xuanjing contacted various True Immortals, persuading them with emotional and rational arguments. Under the great temptation of benefits, and with the successful precedent of the previous Enthroning Gods before them, the various True Immortals did not refuse and agreed to his idea.
Naturally, with Pei Xuanjing as the guarantor and with the approval of many True Immortals, the authority of the Nether Yin Department was confirmed to be held by Honored God Hou Tu, but in order to gain the approval of the Tao-Certifying True Immortal, Central Heaven Emperor Ziwei, a Divine Position of a Netherworld Emperor was also traded to him.
Regarding this, the True Immortals of the Witch Deity Teaching had no objections, although this exchange allowed Ziwei the Great Emperor to intervene in the Netherworld. However, given their geographical advantage, most of the authority of the Department would still be in their hands, leaving the Great Emperor Ziwei without any recourse.
In the end, everything in this world depended on power to have the final say; as long as they maintained an absolute advantage, even if the Great Emperor Ziwei held a hint of the Divine Position of the Netherworld Emperor, his authority would be hollowed out by them, preventing him from meddling in any affairs of the Netherworld.
If their strength was insufficient, even if they refused the rival's intervention in the Netherworld now, the opponent would surely find ways to target the Netherworld and vie for its authority in the future.
Especially allowing a powerful enemy to lurk in the shadows and seize opportunities was not as good as actively drawing the enemy into the game and dealing with everything openly and more effectively.
In the face of immense interests, the efficiency of everything was very fast; once the True Immortals had established the division of the Nether Yin authority, naturally, there were no obstructions.
The reward of Creation Purple Qi from the Will of Heaven and Earth for the last successful Enthroning Gods allowed the strength of many True Immortals to rapidly improve. If they could now pioneer the Nether Yin and perfect the Netherworld, should Heaven and Earth once again bestow Creation Purple Qi, it would be a much-anticipated event for all True Immortals.
Thus, the authority and benefits of the Nether Yin Department were clearly divided.
The Nether Yin Department, managed by the Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing, transformed the Longevity World into the Nether Yin, a place bearing the destiny of the cycle of reincarnation of all beings.
This Longevity Taoist Monarch, much like when initially dividing the Divine Tao incarnation, split off a Ghost Immortal incarnation, bearing the esteemed position of the Netherworld Master and called the Master of the Netherworld.
Below him was Hou Tu, inheriting the celestial ways and earth spirits, serving as the Netherworld Emperor, replacing the Netherworld Master to govern the Netherworld.
Below him were the Fengdu Emperor, the Five Ghost Emperors, Luofei Six Heavens, Ten Halls of Yama, Four Great Judges of the Netherworld, Black and White Impermanence, Bull-head and Horse-face, and other Ten Great Yin Commanders, along with the Ten Ghost Kings, masters of the Eighteen Layers of Hell, seventy-two lords of the Nether ranks, and so on.
Regarding these Divine Positions, their specific allocations were provisional, much like the original Enthroning Gods, with a decision to be made only after the pioneering of the Nether Yin Department.
For these Divine Positions, each represented immortality; even if most of the authority within this Nether Yin Department was incomparable to that of the Gods of the Heavenly Court, the mere temptation of supporting immortality still made it worth endless pursuit by many powerful beings.
