Chapter 1409 Mount Sumeru

“Good!” Zu’an was equally puzzled as to why Houtu hadn’t created the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Houtu thought for a moment and analyzed, “I had a rough idea about the Six Paths of Reincarnation before, but there were still many things I didn’t understand. I heard you describe the six paths of sentient beings as the Path of Gods, the Path of Asuras, the Path of Humans, the Path of Hell, the Path of Hungry Ghosts, and the Path of Animals. I think it makes a lot of sense, so let’s divide them according to these six paths.”

“Now that you are the Heavenly Emperor, you hold the power of the Path of Gods, so there’s no need to elaborate.”

“I am the Lord of Youdu, holding the power of the Path of Hungry Ghosts.”

“Furthermore, I’ve always believed that there should be a punishment mechanism in Youdu to distinguish between good and evil ghosts. I think the concept of the eighteen levels of hell you mentioned earlier is very reasonable. Since you are the Lord of the Underworld in the future, in charge of the eighteen levels of hell, then the power you hold should include the Path of Hell.”

Zu’an nodded, “That’s no problem.”

He was not only the Lord of the Underworld, but now also held part of the power over death, so it was easy for him to allocate a portion as the power of the Path of Hell.

Houtu continued, “The human race was created by Nuwa, so she should hold the reins of power. I have some connection with Nuwa, so I should be able to ask her to share some of her power for the Six Paths of Reincarnation without any problem.”

“The troublesome ones now are the Asura and Animal realms,” Houtu frowned slightly, “Those guys in the Asura realm only know how to fight, and they have always been at odds with the Wu clan. I’m afraid it will be difficult to obtain their power.”

“Asura…” Zu’an’s heart stirred, and a beautiful figure appeared in his mind, inevitably accompanied by a faint sense of melancholy. “In my later life, I had dealings with the Asura Path. Although they were a bit short-tempered, they weren’t that difficult to get along with. I’ll go to the Asura Path and see if I can obtain a wisp of authority.”

Houtu was somewhat surprised: “You really have a wide circle of friends. Well, with your abilities, you must have a way. But there’s still a problem. The Animal Path doesn’t have any authority.”

A trace of worry appeared on her beautiful and holy face: “Those birds and beasts in the Animal Path haven’t developed intelligence, nor do they have a dedicated world or king. It’s impossible for them to have authority.”

Then she became curious: “How did I solve the problem of authority in the Animal Path in the future?”

Zu’an’s expression was strange: “Back then, there was a demon world, which was formed from the low-level demon beasts of that world. The authority of their world was the authority of the Animal Path, or the Beast King Path. I just don’t know if that demon world still exists now.”

“A demon world?” Houtu calculated for a moment upon hearing this, then shook her head. “As far as I know, there is no demon world.”

Zu’an was taken aback. Could it be that a demon world hadn’t appeared yet in this era?

“I’ll go find Nuwa first. I’ll trouble you, young master, to make a trip to the Asura Realm.” Houtu bowed to him.

Zu’an hurriedly returned the bow: “Your Majesty, there’s no need for that. You helped me a great deal before. What trouble is there in doing what’s within my power? However, I have some doubts. Since the authority of the Animal Realm hasn’t been generated yet, and it’s destined that the Six Realms cannot be formed, is all this in vain?”

Houtu smiled slightly upon hearing this: “If you don’t do something, thinking that it will be achieved in the future anyway, it’s too pessimistic and negative. Fate is inherently unpredictable. Perhaps the reason we can succeed in the future is precisely because we have laid a solid foundation now.”

Zu’an was startled: “I understand!” Houtu

smiled and nodded to the group, then turned and stepped into the void, disappearing from sight.

At this moment, Qiu Honglei and Xihe said worriedly, “Are you going to the Asura Realm?”

Zu’an nodded, “Houtu is right. If I do nothing, I might not succeed in the future. I’m going to the Asura Realm, and I’ll trouble you to take care of Yaoji.”

Qiu Honglei thought for a moment and said, “With Shennong’s protective mountain formation and the various formations you left behind, I can take care of Yaoji by myself. Anyway, she can’t wake up in a short time. I’ve heard that the Asura Realm loves war, and the Asura King is very powerful. He’s always been at odds with the Heavenly Emperor. It’s too dangerous for you to go. Why don’t you go with me, Sister Xihe?”

Xihe was deeply moved. Qiu Honglei clearly knew that the two of them were destined not to be together forever, so she was trying to create opportunities for her.

However, her pride prevented her from accepting this kindness: “His cultivation is so high, he can even travel from the future to the present. A mere Asura Path wouldn’t be able to stop him. What would I do there?”

Zu’an had already come to understand her personality during this time, and upon hearing this, he smiled and said, “Please lend a hand, Madam. After all, I don’t even know where the Asura Path is.”

Xihe’s lips couldn’t help but curl up slightly, but she quickly controlled it: “Ahem, since you sincerely invite me, I’ll lead the way for you. Once I get to the Asura Path, I’ll come back to accompany Sister Honglei.”

Qiu Honglei couldn’t help but smirk, not expecting that her sister Xihe had such a girlish side.

Next, the two waved goodbye to Qiu Honglei and flew together towards the Asura Path.

On the way, Xihe explained to Zu’an, “Most Asuras live on Mount Sumeru.”

“Mount Sumeru?” Zu’an was stunned. In later generations, when he saw Asuras, they were hiding in the Netherworld, constantly fighting with the remnants of the Witch Clan. He hadn’t expected that they originally lived on Mount Sumeru.

“The Asuras are incredibly powerful and skilled in battle, often clashing with the gods. After countless years, they’ve become roughly evenly matched. However, the gods generally have the upper hand, since that guy Di Jun used to lead his men to plunder the Asura beauties.” Xi He spat as she spoke, seemingly disapproving of Di Jun’s behavior. “While the Asura men are ugly and ferocious, the women are all incredibly beautiful. Many of the fairies in the Heavenly Palace today are actually Asuras.”

Zu An hadn’t expected this grudge. Recalling the Heavenly Palace, he realized some of the fairies were indeed alluring and seductive, but they turned out to be Asuras.

“So I suggest you don’t go as Di Jun, or those Asuras will want to skin you alive.” Xi He smiled knowingly, seemingly enjoying the spectacle.

Zu An looked her up and down, making Xi He feel a little uneasy. “What kind of look is that?”

“I can indeed not use the identity of Di Jun, but your fame as the Sun Goddess is known throughout the world, and everyone knows you’ve recently become the Heavenly Empress. Wouldn’t that still expose our identities?”

Xi He snorted. “That’s easy.”

She immediately transformed into a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth, holding a folding fan. “This should be fine, right?”

Zu An’s eyes were full of admiration. “I finally understand why some emperors in history had homosexual tendencies. If a man really looked like you, I wonder how many people he would turn gay.”

“You’re so frivolous…” Xi He spat, but she was still pleased with his praise.

The two flew for a while and soon arrived at Mount Sumeru.

As soon as they entered the Mount Sumeru territory, dozens of ugly-faced Asuras suddenly surrounded them. “These two must be spies from the Heavenly Court!”

Zu An and Xi He: “???”
