Chapter 359: The Truth in the World is Hard to Change

Under the Nine Netherworld, a place of despair.

In the ancient times of Shinto, everyone thought that the earth was the deepest, because even the Boundless Sea was supported by the earth. The Boundless Sea was already known to be boundless, but it still stood above the earth. It can be seen that the earth is truly boundless.

It’s just that most of the land is buried deep underground, with only a small part exposed, called the Central Continent.

The Central Continent is indeed formed from the essence of the earth. Five people have achieved enlightenment there. However, apart from the Central Continent, there are some extremely peculiar places on the earth.

However, these strange places are often hidden deep underground. Some of them are so dangerous that even Hunyuan Tianzun can fall into them and be killed alive. It can be said that people are terrified when talking about them.

Among them, the underworld is considered to be the lowest level area. There are countless strange places in it. In the deepest part of the underworld, there are also these places. It is a fundamental place that even Mother Earth cannot explore.

And today, these strange places have begun to change. The originally scattered and disorderly torrents of the road have begun to return, and finally transformed into one boundless shape after another.

If an ancient person witnessed it with his own eyes, he would actually be able to discover that this was a scene of a dead person being resurrected.

Anyone who has reached Daluo level has actually transcended and separated from death and no longer has anything to do with it.

What is Daluo? Da means vast and Luo means perfection. Daluo is actually a vast and perfect existence.

Since the Daluo is already perfect, produces and sells its own products, and is self-satisfied and self-sufficient, who can destroy it?

The fundamental reason is that no matter whether it is the Daluo Golden Immortal or the Daluo Daozun, they have already condensed an innate and immortal aura of the Great Dao, and their eternity is entrusted in the Great Dao.

The spiritual light of the Great Dao is indestructible and has become a part of the Great Dao. Therefore, even if one dies, sooner or later one will be able to return through other means.

Even an enlightened person who has become the ancestor of Taoism will not erase this kind of spiritual light of the Tao, because it is equivalent to self-destruction and self-harm. Why do this?

However, not completely erasing it does not mean that it cannot be sealed forever. It is only necessary to destroy its self-consciousness, and then Daluo’s existence will completely become a part of the Great Dao, which means that the self will be completely dissipated.

In this case, there is naturally no death, but there is no self-existence, which is no different from being dead.

For Daluo, it would be better to just die, so this also prevents Daluo from being too presumptuous, because there are people above them who can deal with them.

But for some extremely huge beings, even if an enlightened being takes action personally, there is no way to kill them completely. They can only seal them up forever, and they cannot even destroy themselves.

If the Golden Immortal is compared to a ray of light from the Great Dao, then if the enlightened person erases this light, he will feel some pain, so it is better for him to keep it.

But it’s just a physical pain. If you want to force it, you can succeed easily. There is no need to do it.

Then those existences are already equivalent to a part of the Great Dao, and a vast majority of it. It can be said that they are already 99% of the Great Dao, and only the last little bit is left to achieve the Great Dao.

For an existence that is only a hair’s breadth away from being fully destroyed, even for an enlightened being, it would be difficult to completely destroy it, because this would be no less than completely severing a great path, which would be truly too sinful.

Therefore, most of the enlightened ones simply kill it and exile it into the long river of time, thus creating a situation of eternal seal.

However, the Tao is eternal. No matter in the past, present, future or anywhere, the Tao will not perish, so these existences will return again in an incredible way.

And this is called reappearance in the world.

These strange places that are powerful enough to kill Hunyuan Tianzun are actually just the places where some great gods achieved enlightenment. Their current manifestations indicate that those existences that even those who have achieved enlightenment cannot erase have returned again.

“Haha, I didn’t expect it. I didn’t expect it. It was just a few short catastrophes of destruction, but I actually came back again. I thought I would have to wait until the infinite catastrophe before I could be resurrected again~”

An exceptionally gentle voice slowly spread throughout this place, and in the boundless darkness, a place of despair gathered together.

In this land of despair, even figures at the level of ancestors will lose their smiles and fall into despair, that is why it is called the land of despair.

The gods do not know when the Land of Despair appeared. It seems that the Land of Despair has existed since the birth of the underworld.

But today, the ancestor of the world who transformed into the underworld was resurrected, and this land of despair also began to revive.

As a slight sound was heard, the originally unreachable land of despair instantly merged into one and fossilized into an extremely strange goddess.

The goddess had a peaceful face. She was not particularly beautiful. She could even be described as above average in appearance. It would not be said that she amazed the world or the time.

But this goddess is not outstanding because of her beauty. The faint maternal compassion on her face is as if all the beauty in the world has gathered together, as if everything in the world exists because of this goddess, and she is the mother of the world, the mother of the universe, the mother of all things.

In her arms, it was as if the road was born, and the world was beautiful because of her existence.

Taoist Mother looked at the silent and boundless darkness in front of her, and she kept a peaceful and gentle smile on her face, just like a mother looking at her child. No matter how ugly, how bad-looking, or how unbelievably weird her child looked, she would never be displeased and would always remain patient.

“What a beautiful world! It seems that when I was killed, the Earth-Opening Ancestor was still alive? I didn’t expect that I was born later than him, but died earlier than him. Why can’t those goddesses listen to me? Why do you have to do this?”

The Taoist mother opened her mouth slightly and murmured something faintly.

It seemed like it was spoken to her, but also seemed like it was spoken to someone else, to a certain being, and even more so, to the gods who were watching here.

Seeing the gaze that had been staring at this place being forced back a little because of these words, the smile on Taoist Mother’s face finally widened a little.

Then he took a step forward without hesitation and walked slowly towards the outside.

Every time the Mother of Tao moves forward, that place becomes slightly brighter. Afterwards, no matter whether they are sentient or non-sentient beings, they all begin to shine upon the Mother of Tao involuntarily, because they are all children of the Great Dao and naturally have to respond to the Mother of the Great Dao.

The Taoist Mother would stop from time to time, stretching out her motherly hands, and quietly caressing the lonely world, as if she was sighing about something. Seeing that the Taoist Mother had actually resurrected, the six Taoist Mothers could no longer hold back, and the first to bear the brunt was the Earth Mother in the netherworld.

The moment Mother Tao was resurrected, Mother Earth rose from the sky without hesitation and headed straight for the mainland, not daring to stay in the underworld any longer.

It was because this person was the legendary Holy Mother Killer. If Mother Earth stayed with Mother Tao a little longer, Mother Tao would probably attack her without hesitation, completely disregarding the face of Emperor Earth.

Mother Earth believed that Mother Tao would do this because Mother Earth, the first partner of Emperor Earth, was killed alive by Mother Tao.

It is for this reason that after forcing the ancestor of the creation of the world to death, the Emperor of Earth took great pains to move the Taoist Mother to the place of despair after her transformation into Taoism, and to the underworld, in order to make sure that the Taoist Mother would not feel comfortable even after her death.

But from now on, it seems that the plan of the Emperor of Earth has failed, because the Mother of Dao did not feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, the Mother of Dao actually enjoyed that torture, because torture and pain are also the Dao, and she likes them very much.

The yellow light not far away was rushing towards the Earth Palace more frantically. The Taoist Mother, who was originally quietly caressing a withered flower, raised her head slightly and couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Why bother? Things are different now. I won’t attack you again. After all, I have already laid the foundation of the Mother. I am the true Mother of the Great Dao. What’s the point of killing you again?”

Dao Mother sighed and said, “Didn’t you divide my companion treasure into nine and assign nine people to sit on them in order to suppress me? I didn’t get angry and even let you sit on them. Why can’t you just trust me?”

Having said this, the Taoist Mother suddenly opened her arms, and an invisible shadow slowly rose behind her. This shadow opened its arms just like the Taoist Mother, as if it was embracing the world, as if the Taoist Mother herself was also embracing these infinite sentient beings, infinite worlds, and infinite gods.

Her mind is extremely broad, so broad that it can accommodate everything. Even the most evil things can be held in the arms of the Taoist Mother.

An invisible maternal love lingered in this world, and when some gods who were secretly spying on it saw it, they couldn’t help but feel a warm feeling in their hearts.

Just like a child who has not returned home for a long time sees his mother, he would feel shy and embarrassed at first, but when the mother sees the child, she just opens her arms kindly, because she is happy that her child has arrived, and nothing else matters at all.

Seeing his mother like this, the excitement in his heart was simply hard to describe in words.

Just when they couldn’t help wanting to throw themselves into the arms of the Taoist Mother, some of the onlookers, Hunyuan Tianzun, snorted coldly, and the invisible avenue turned into visible slaps, which slapped these uncontrollable gods in the face and woke them up directly.

It’s not that these Hunyuan Tianzuns feel sorry for these gods and can’t bear to see them die, but they don’t want the Taoist Mother to recover too much power.

Otherwise, if a big war breaks out, it would take a lot of effort for nothing. Otherwise, I wouldn’t bother to care who the other party is. If I die, I die. Who cares?

The Taoist Mother knew that the most noble goddesses in the ancient world were watching this place, so she did not hesitate to show her kindness, just like she was truly turning over a new leaf.

It’s just that the reputation of the Mother of Tao has spread throughout ancient and modern times. Any goddess who practices cultivation may not know who the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are, nor can they remember how many of the Nine Dao Mother Goddesses there are, but they definitely know who the Mother of Tao is.

The legendary goddess killer, the supreme female ruler, an existence that all women should worship.

During the era ruled by the Mother of Tao, no goddess could rise. Any goddess with the slightest qualification would be hunted by the Mother of Tao’s incarnation. From the most powerful person in the universe to those who had just entered Taoism, the Mother of Tao would not let any of them go. It can be said that she truly did not mind even the smallest detail.

In addition to these new goddesses, even the ancient goddesses suffered heavy losses. Even the goddesses related to the Emperor could not escape. One by one, they were either dead or disabled.

In that era, the Mother of Tao was the true terror of the Tao. Wherever she went, she spread fear, and bloody terror would occur there.

If not for all the goddesses uniting together, and with the tacit approval of the two emperors of heaven and earth, I am afraid that the fear of the Mother of Tao would have spread for several more disasters.

In order to completely suppress the Mother of Taoism, the Mother of Heaven proposed that the other eight most powerful goddesses follow suit and work together to tear the Mother of Taoism’s throne into nine pieces. Even the authority held by the Mother of Taoism was completely plundered.

The authority held by the Tao Mother was also divided into nine parts and injected into the nine fragments of the Tao Mother’s throne.

Therefore, as long as someone holds a piece of the Taoist Mother’s throne, he can call himself the Taoist Mother.

This is also why there are many powerful goddesses in the Shinto world, including ancient goddesses, but there are still only nine Dao Mother Goddesses. The number can be changed, but it will never increase, because there are only nine Dao Mother Goddesses.

But even so, the Taoist Mother did not die. On the contrary, without these external objects, she was still powerful. Instead, she used them to get rid of the entanglement and seemed more transcendent.

Because the Mother of Tao is so difficult to deal with, she has become a shadow lingering in the minds of all goddesses.

And today, this shadow appeared again, transformed into an extremely terrifying demon.

The gentle and compassionate maternal light surrounds this place, making the figure of the Taoist Mother appear even warmer and more peaceful. If it weren’t for the intervention of the Heavenly Venerable to block the divine light here, someone would have lost control and rushed in here long ago.

“My fellow believers, I have turned over a new leaf. I am willing to atone for my past sins. As long as the world can be made a better place, I am willing to give everything.”

“Let the world be filled with love again, let the hostility between heaven and earth be relieved, let everyone understand the preciousness of life, and stop killing each other.”

“Come on! Please give me some trust. I am no longer the goddess killer of the past. I am now the goddess protector, just to protect the goddesses of the world.”

“Please believe me, and please come here. I have been practicing in seclusion for so many years, and I have some insights in my heart that I want to share with you.”

The Mother of Tao shouted loudly, and her voice was like a mighty wave, spreading to countless worlds. The ten directions of heaven and earth, the past and present, the endless time and space were all surrounded by this magnanimous voice.

Whether it is the long-destroyed starry sky, the boundless sea that is licking its wounds, or the central continent that is trying its best to cope with the catastrophe of world destruction, they are all surrounded by these sounds.

Faced with the Taoist Mother’s cordial invitation, the result was obvious: no one would come.

Seeing that no one was coming, the smile on Taoist Mother’s face finally changed a little. The corners of her mouth drooped slightly, and the gentleness in her eyes instantly turned cold.
