One should know that in the Wilderness,'Immortal' and 'God' were actually not the same concept.
The so-called immortals mostly referred to cultivators who had reached the Itinerant Immortal realm and above. These cultivators were called those who had already achieved the Immortal Dao!
However, God was a completely different concept. Moreover, in the current Untainted Land, no one knew this concept except Yan Luo and Hongjun.
The so-called 'god' was actually a cultivator who had been bestowed by heaven and earth in a sense.
After they obtained the divine throne bestowed by the heavens and earth, they could obtain a portion of the providence bestowed by the heavens and earth.
Then the problem was, the Heavenly Dao itself was a heartless existence, so how could there be a title?
The answer was very simple. Although the heaven and earth were heartless, there would eventually be two forces that symbolized the orthodoxy of the Three Realms in Untainted Land-the Heavenly Court and the Netherworld!
Their existence was the manifestation and key to the independent operation of the world. Therefore, anyone who held a position in these two forces could obtain a God Throne to increase their luck.
Of course, this Deity Position was not given by the heavens themselves. Instead, it had to be given by two magic treasures born from the heavens and the earth. They could represent the heavens and the earth to confer the Deity Position to the Heavenly Court and the Netherworld!
The magic treasure that symbolized the Heavenly Court was none other than the famous God Rankings.
This treasure had almost never appeared before the God Ascension Tribulation and had always been in Hongjun's hands.
Hongjun used this treasure to confer his child Haotian the highest divine position of the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor, in the future, allowing him to become the Lord of the Heavenly Court.
But the key was the magic treasure that symbolized the Netherworld.
Originally, this magic weapon should not have existed because the innate death qi should have been absorbed by the Heavenly Dao, and after the transformation of the underworld, it naturally belonged to the Heavenly Court.
However, due to the existence of the Yama, this magic treasure was born in the Primordial World.
That's right-the one in charge of sealing the Yin Deity's position was the Connate Cardinal treasure in Yama's hands, the Reincarnation Banner, which symbolized the Netherworld!
Therefore, at this moment, Yama was also relying on this to confer the title of Yin God of the Netherworld!
However, one had to know that there were differences between the Deity Thrones.
For example, in the Heavenly Court, other than the highest Deity, the Jade Emperor Xuan Qiong, there were the Four Heavenly Emperors, namely Emperor Ziwei, Emperor Zhenwu, Emperor Gouchen, and Emperor Changsheng.
Below these four God Thrones, there were a total of eight Principal Gods,'Thunder, Fire, Plague, Battle, and Stars.'
In addition, there were also the God of God, the God of Cooking, the God of Washing, the God of Horse, and many others.
As these God Thrones went from high to low, the providence they received would also gradually weaken.
The God Thrones that the Yama could bestow to the Netherworld were also very similar to the Heavenly Court.
However, the only one that was unique was his 'Taiyin Ren Saint Yama Emperor'.
Although he was the master of the underworld, the title of Yama did not correspond to the Jade Emperor, but was far above the Jade Emperor.
As for the reason, Yama was very clear about it.
To be fair, he was fundamentally different from the future Jade Emperor.
He controlled the Reincarnation Banner and the Dao of Reincarnation, and the entire Netherworld was actually evolved from the Dao of Reincarnation in his body. Therefore, in a sense, he was equivalent to the Netherworld itself.
However, the future Jade Emperor Haotian was different. He was actually conferred by Hongjun and did not control the Investiture of the Gods, nor did he become a Saint.
To put it bluntly, Yama was like the founder of a company and the owner of all the shares, while Hao Tian was just a temporary manager hired by someone to work. The status of the two was completely different.
Apart from the most special god position of the Yama himself, the other Yin god positions were very similar to the Yang god positions of the celestial heavens.
First of all, the highest god position other than Yama was the Emperor of Fengdu who was in charge of Fengdu City.
In essence, this Deity Position was the Deity Position corresponding to the Jade Emperor. It was the main manager of everything in the Netherworld except for the King of Hell, and enjoyed an extremely exaggerated blessing of luck.
Secondly, it was the Five Realm Ghost Emperor who was in charge of the Five Yin Spirit Mountain. He was the key person in charge of the five souls entering the netherworld, and he was second only to the Emperor of Feng Du among the Yin God Thrones.
The Deity Thrones that Yama had bestowed to Liu Er and Lian Yun were two of the Five Ghost Emperors!
"Thank you, Master!"
Therefore, under the rotation of the heavenly secrets, Lian Yun and Liu Er clearly understood their responsibilities.
"Go ahead."
Yama looked at the two of them and chuckled.
"As you wish, Master!"
Lian Yun and Liu Er bowed to Yama again, then turned around and left the Ming Dao Palace. They went to Mount Luofu and Mount Taozhi in the south respectively.
After the two of them left, Yama did not stop his actions in the slightest.
The position of the Emperor of Feng Du and the other Ghost Emperors, as well as the positions of the four Great Underworld Judges, were all extremely precious. He naturally did not intend to randomly confer them.
However, one had to know that if the entire underworld really wanted to operate, it did not need these righteous gods.
"All the souls in the flag, come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless souls flew out of the samsara flag. They were the souls of the three clans and the devil cultivators that had been left in the samsara flag for many years.
"All of you are cultivators who have not been cleansed of the power of Karma. I can cleanse your Karma by bestowing you with a Deity Position. If you are unwilling to be bestowed with a Deity Position, you can leave this hall and go to the underworld. After you are cleansed of the power of Karma, you can enter the cycle of reincarnation!”
The Yama's voice was calm. The souls below were stunned when they heard this. After which, they revealed conflicted expressions.
Soon, the faces of these souls turned solemn.
Then, a small portion of them who didn't want to be sealed as Yin Gods left the Ming Dao Palace and headed down.
The majority of the remaining people chose to stay. Compared to entering the cycle of reincarnation to wash away their memories, they were obviously more willing to choose to become Yin Gods.
Because even though being conferred the title of Yin God meant that they would be under the control of Yama, was it wrong for a saint like Yama to control them?
Upon seeing this, the Yama nodded his head gently.
Then…
"My decree is that there must be a Soulbringer in the underworld.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a portion of the souls in front of him flew out naturally. In a moment, they turned into Soulbrbringers with sickles in their hands. Then, they left the Ming Dao Palace and headed for the netherworld.
"My decree is that the netherworld must have 365 ghost generals and 108 ghost marshals, each of whom will lead the netherworld soldiers!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of souls flew out from the souls. They all wore ancient armor and turned into ghost generals or ghost commanders.
"My decree is that there must be 18 ghost kings in front of the gates of hell to watch over them.”
"My decree is that there must be a Yin Yang Wandering God at both ends of the Bridge of Helplessness to strike the Yin Souls.”
"My decree…"
"My decree…"
Therefore, the Yama also continuously issued orders to the Yin spirits. As the cultivation of the three clans and the souls of the demons in his banner were mostly not bad, he did not endow them with the rank of Yin Soldiers. Instead, most of them were given the rank of one or two scattered gods.
As time passed, the basic construction of the Yin God of Hell was completed.
Among them were the Soulbringer, Ghost General, Ghost Commander, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, Black and White Impermanence, Gousuo, Day and Night Wandering God, Big and Small Rakshasa, and other familiar Yin Gods.
Apart from that, the Yama didn't treat the three races 'souls or the extremely rare Great Luo souls of the demon race unfairly. He directly conferred the positions of the gods to them.
Thus, not long after, the souls in front of the Yama had almost all disappeared.
After the basic Yin Gods were basically conferred titles, Yama finally heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment, he finally turned his gaze to the empty god seats at the top of the samsara flag.
He didn't plan to enfeoffe the remaining god positions, but to keep them.
And the reason was very simple-because these God Thrones were useful to him.
"In the future, if we recruit other disciples in our sect, we can naturally give them the title of God and let them work in the underworld.”
"In this way, not only can the disciples of the sect receive the blessing of luck, but our sect can also ignore the Great Tribulation of God Deification in the future!”
It was with this mentality that Yama decided to keep most of the god positions.
However, among them, there were only two exceptions-the God Thrones of the Northern Ghost Emperor and the Emperor of Feng Du.
This was because the Yama's heart…There was already a candidate!
