Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity

Chapter 344 -265: Sky River? River of the Underworld!_1

Along the Netherworld Road, a vibrantly bright flower was in full bloom.

This flower was rather peculiar. It bloomed without any sign of a leaf, its entire body blazing and eye-catching as if a flame. If one were to look at it from a distance, it resembled a blazing fire that lit up half the sky, mesmerizing and dazzling.

The flower was called Nirvana Lily, but it was not the miraculous item told in tales. It had no ability to access the Underworld, nor did it possess any extraordinary effects. Apart from its peculiar appearance, it was simply an uncommon plant.

In the depths of the mountain, these flowers were quite common in the uneven valleys. Few creatures would bother to pick them, as they could neither quench thirst nor stave off hunger; their appeal was limited to aesthetic enjoyment.

However, this single advantage was utterly useless to the creatures of this land. Dry leaves at least served a purpose for wiping one’s behind, but the Nirvana Lily was too hard and uncomfortable for such use.

That being said, the Underworld did not seem to exist at this moment, and the beings here had no concept of it.

If Jiang Hui remembered correctly, the Underworld was established by Cao Yu Sheng in his second life, using the identity of Netherworld Supreme.

But that era was millions of years ahead of the present, not belonging to this epoch.

More importantly, his understanding of the Underworld slightly differed from Cao Yu Sheng’s.

The former was, in some ways, similar to the Burying Ground and Heaven, with just a larger influence and perhaps control over reincarnation, but Jiang Hui could barely recall the specifics.

It didn’t matter. Since it didn’t exist yet, he could set things in motion earlier. He was more familiar and comfortable with using the term “Underworld”.

With that in mind, Jiang Hui reached out and formed a massive hand that covered the sky, effortlessly pulling out a rocky mountain thousands of meters high in the distance.

In that instant, the ground shook and the mountain trembled, with countless rocks tumbling down, creating a deafening rumble. Giant pieces of rock scattered and rushed, creating a spectacular sight.

The mountain was of an amber agate color, brilliantly clear, made of an incredibly hard diamond that could hardly be destroyed by external forces. Its hardness was even comparable to some treasures and was quite rare.

In the Lower Realm, diamonds of several meters in size were already considered rare, treasured as the foundation of some tribes. Now, with a casual grab, Jiang Hui held a diamond mountain the size of a hill, thousands of meters high, showing the richness of resources in the Upper Realm that the Lower Realm simply could not compare to.

The diamond was so hard that almost no blade could leave a trace on it. However, in Jiang Hui’s hands, it was as fragile as tofu. With a light scratch, a deep and bottomless mark would be left on its surface.

Soon, the words “Underworld” were engraved into it, each character a hundred meters in size and at the center of this diamond mountain.

This was not all, Jiang Hui then imbued some Divine Power into these characters.

To prevent the diamond from crumbling under the force, he poured in the Divine Power with great care. He had already mastered control over his power, and thus it did not take too long.

Suddenly,

With the infusion of Divine Power complete, it settled deep within the diamond mountain.

Almost instantly, as the Divine Power infusion finished, a bright Divine Light radiated from the words “Underworld”, absolutely dazzling.

Moreover, runes circled around the mountain. At a glance, it looked like a gold shine with a shadow effect was added to it, making the characters appear very three-dimensional. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

After the infusion of Divine Power, not only did the diamond mountain become harder, but it also acquired some counter-attacking abilities.

If other beings attempted to forcefully destroy it, they would suffer from the rebound of Divine Power, roughly equivalent to a tenth of his full strength, impossible to resist for those below the Divine Realm.

After completing all this, Jiang Hui finally stopped. Thus, the rudimentary form of the Underworld was established.

Of course, this was just the beginning. Subsequent improvements were certainly in order; it could not be left in this rudimentary state. However, it was a good start, and things could proceed according to plan.

The living resided in Liu Village, the dead entered the Underworld.

That was Jiang Hui’s plan.

Soon, Liu Village would complete a perfect cycle where both the living and the dead have a place to go, somewhere to rely on.

This was the primary reason Jiang Hui moved the Immortal’s Tomb. As for comprehending the laws of thunder to perfect his thunder techniques, that was just of secondary significance.

…

…

On the cobblestone road, the Nirvana Lily bloomed, its blossoms and leaves fell, its fluff dispersed in the wind, staining the long Netherworld Road with red…

On both sides of the road, Jiang Hui specially carved rows of frightening stone statues from huge rocks. They had hollowed hands where Jiang Hui placed a substance known as Eternal Lamp Fish Oil.

The fish oil, when burned, emitted a dark glow and once ignited, could burn for tens of thousands of years. It was often used in the tombs left by the mighty, making it a valuable treasure. The Eternal Lamp Fish lived its entire life in the ocean and grew incredibly large. Upon maturity, it could even match the power of those in the Godfire Realm. Thus, it was rare and precious, but now it was used by Jiang Hui as road lamps.

The pale light was not really for illumination.

In the next few days, everything went on as usual.
