Ledger focused his gaze downward and saw that the first page of the stone book roughly recorded three realms of the six realms.
Three realms - heaven, earth, and human.
In ancient mythology, there was a heavenly court, but the current "heaven" seems to refer to something other than the heavenly court...
The mortal world needs no explanation, while the underworld consists of the realms of shadows and the afterlife, which is where he currently resides.
"There were five gods in the underworld, the first one being Emperor Origin."
Emperor Origin, also known as the God of Mount Tai, was in charge of the authority of all beings' births in the world. He was the ruler of the Ten Yama Kings in the Underworld and the master of the Eighteen Layers of Hell.
Ledger frowned, this statement seemed to contradict Emperor Justice, as most accounts stated that Emperor Justice was the true ruler of the Underworld.
"Secondly, Emperor Savior, also known as the Ghost King of the Underworld, Supreme Master of the Netherworld..."
Only he could open the gates of the Extreme Depth, which is the deepest level of hell, fulfilling his duty of "rescue".
"Thirdly, Empress Nature, who ruled over mountains, rivers, and the earth, controlled yin and yang, and nurtured all living things."
In the legendary myth, Empress Nature noticed that the souls of the deceased had nowhere to go after death, considering it as a flaw in the natural order.
So she transformed into the cycle of reincarnation, allowing countless lost souls to be reborn, perfecting the heavenly path.
"The fourth one, Emperor Justice. A subordinate of Emperor Origin, also known as King of the Northern Infernal Region..."
The six-day ghost under the jurisdiction of Ghost Capital, Luo Luo, although not the largest god in the underworld, is the one with real power and the largest in the underworld.
Ledger understood a bit when he reached this point. He realized why everyone said Emperor Justice was the most powerful in the underworld. It was because he held real power!
The fifth one was Emperor Redemption.
Ledger only glanced briefly at it here, mainly recording very little, only one sentence, "voluntarily go to hell."
After reading the first page of the stone book, Ledger's brow furrowed even more tightly. He felt that everything in the underworld seemed extremely chaotic, with various explanations, but there was an invisible yet distinct system in place.
This system is not about "who is the biggest" or "who is the smallest" as known by the world, but more like a record of the great powers that have once been in this position.
In other words, the position is not fixed. Perhaps Emperor Origin was once the most powerful, but who knows if there were any successors who stood above Emperor Origin's position?
Ledger pursed his lips and looked at the second page of the stone book.
Slowly, Ledger finished reading the content on the second page and then froze.
The first page talks about the glorious past of the Underworld, where Emperor Origin stood at the highest position and had a premonition that the Three Realms and Six Paths were not the ultimate destination for humans. Both he and the people were trapped in a certain realm of heaven and earth.
Beyond the Three Realms and the Six Paths, it seemed as if there was an invisible hand that controlled the destinies of all of them.
The rules of the underworld are the rules of the realm of shadows, the rules beyond heaven and earth, and they are called the heavenly way.
In order to explore the world beyond the Three Realms and Six Paths, and break free from this invisible bondage, the five great gods of the Underworld once united to challenge the invisible hand that held their destinies, but they fell one after another.
Among them, Emperor Justice's daughter had an extraordinary talent, and at the young age of 18, she stood on equal footing with her father, Emperor Justice, in terms of strength.
In order to help his daughter break free from constraints, Emperor Justice joined forces with her to challenge the shackles of the heavens and contend against the heavens!
However, in this battle, the daughter of the Emperor tragically perished, her soul scattered... Emperor Justice could not accept it, went mad and overturned the heavens and earth, using up all his own power to retrieve his beloved daughter's soul, but eventually disappeared in the underworld.
When Ledger saw this, he suddenly froze for some reason, not knowing why!
At this moment, he had no idea that Emperor Justice was actually Kellen and the daughter of the emperor was Susie.
Emperor Justice concealed the rule and forcibly kept the soul of his beloved daughter, going against the natural order. He kept this secret from everyone, even from Yama, the ruler of life and death and the one in charge of reincarnation. Naturally, Ledger could not have known either.
Ledger just felt his heart pounding, immediately wanting to continue reading further.
The supreme Emperor of the Underworld, naturally unwilling to disappear, each...
Each of them, recorded on the next page!
The opened stone book only had these two pages visible with words on them, and there were thick pages below that needed to be flipped.
Ledger remained calm, grasped the stone book, and suddenly let out a low growl.
However, despite using all his strength, he couldn't move an inch.
Ledger felt that the following content should be about how the five great gods started over after, concerning his own identity and the identities of the other five great gods.
At the most critical moment, he couldn't even look back, it was infuriating.
Ledger pursed his lips and let out a low hum.
Since the secrets of the five supreme gods of the underworld are recorded here, it is certain that this underground city is related to one of them.
Not being one of them, it is impossible to have such a deep understanding of the events of that year.
This secret... he had set his eyes on it!
Ledger directly took out a long spear and aimed it at the stone book!
(Stone book: Take a look for yourself, you wrote about me, and you also split me, is that fair?)
