Not paying attention to the minor incident happening in the Netherworld.
Li Hao now looks at his "masterpiece" with satisfaction, his heart filled with pride and accomplishment.
From Li Hao’s current perspective, he can clearly see the full view of the Netherworld and the vast river system crisscrossing the entire land.
That is the Wangchuan, the Netherworld, a unique place of life and death reincarnation in the Mountain and Sea Realm, crafted by Li Hao after modeling it on the Huaxia Mythology System he knows.
The Water of the Netherworld flowing through the river system is the embodiment of the [Power of Death] in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
They not only carry the function of cleansing and protecting souls but also accelerate the assimilation of the Netherworld with the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Currently, the Netherworld is like a shadow of the Mountain and Sea Realm, taking on all matters related to souls and spirituality, while strengthening the Mountain and Sea Realm’s own stability.
——Living beings return to life, the deceased return to death.
——Let life and death be distinctly separated, and let living beings and the deceased not interfere with each other.
The Mountain and Sea Realm, having achieved this goal, has already laid the foundation, in some sense, for becoming a super world.
Under the illumination of the [Day of Sin], souls lingering in the Mountain and Sea Realm, unable to become Skeletons, will head to the Netherworld before being decomposed.
Then, through the cleansing of Wangchuan and the Netherworld, these souls will lose all memories from their previous life and start their reincarnation journey anew.
Of course, unlike the Underworld in the Huaxia Mythology System, Li Hao has no intention of judging these souls based on their virtue or vice to decide their future reincarnation category.
In Li Hao’s concept, this life is this life, and the afterlife is the afterlife.
We can hold expectations for the afterlife, but it must not influence the choices of this life.
After all, in this mythical world where gods truly exist, punishing evil and guiding toward good never requires a complex reincarnation system like the "Six Paths of Reincarnation."
These souls will only reincarnate into the species most suitable for their capacity.
From a macro perspective, the greatest benefit of doing it this way is that souls do not need to be decomposed into basic soul elements, allowing them to retain their original quality to the maximum extent.
In this manner, souls in the Mountain and Sea Realm will only become more numerous and stronger, leading to increasingly sensitive and intelligent life birthed in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
From a micro perspective, this prevents the birth of Skeletons from relying solely on souls with exceptional gifts.
As time progresses, nearly every living being in the Mountain and Sea Realm will face two choices after death.
One is to continue on the path of reincarnation, and the other is to forsake all past to become Skeletons.
For Li Hao, who does not intend to follow the ignorance path or harvest faith, both choices offer advantages.
Continuing reincarnation will inevitably lead to highly intelligent beings being born as souls grow ever stronger.
This means Immortals no longer need to laboriously endure thousands of years to provide elementary enlightenment education to other promising species in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Choosing to forsake the past to become Skeletons, however, means the population of Skeletons will significantly rise, solving the major issue of population source troubling the Skeletons.
In fact, after surviving the initial population boom phase, how to increase the population of Skeletons has always been a significant problem for Li Hao.
Souls with exceptional gifts and inherent strength are not easily born.
The previous global population boom of Skeletons was simply due to the Mountain and Sea Realm being a new world reborn from destruction, where strong souls of the old era had not yet decomposed into basic spiritual essence.
The cycle of the world, the cycle of souls, the cycle of species...
With the Netherworld now created, as long as Li Hao, the "Creator," does not change his will and concept, the entire Mountain and Sea Realm is bound to usher in renewed prosperity and thriving.

[Artifact: Wangchuan and Netherworld]
[Type: Civilization Wonders]
[Function: Endless river system across the Netherworld land, capable of cleansing soul impurities and protecting them from being decomposed into basic soul elements.]
Li Hao’s gaze diligently scanned every corner of the Netherworld, then turned to those still laboring to dig and expand the Wangchuan River among the Netherworld Race.
These were originally evil ghosts that devoured Bahe Ru’s Divine Remains.
Now, under Yao Xin’s call and recruitment, they have become the primal, most rudimentary species in this Netherworld.
Their current duty is to maintain the proper functioning of the Wangchuan River and safeguard the souls within it from external interference.
Though there are individuals among them with inherently unruly and malicious dispositions, under Yao Xin’s ubiquitous Primordial Spirit patrol, they at least barely recognize the reality of the disparity.
This is punishment, atonement, and rebirth.
For mortals, devouring the Divine Body is a sin, and only the Wangchuan and Netherworld can cleanse their sins.
Yao Xin’s current approach, rather than saying it’s punishing them, it’s more like fulfilling Bahe Ru’s last wish—allowing them to live on.
Li Hao’s Netherworld absolutely does not permit the existence of species capable of disrupting the order of life and death reincarnation.
Only by serving as maintainers of Wangchuan and Netherworld, only by being upright enforcers, can these evil ghosts continue to exist in the Netherworld as members of the Netherworld Race. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel·fıre·net
And this is a significant reason why [Wangchuan and Netherworld] is marked as [Civilization Wonders].
The Creator, Li Hao, has acknowledged the identity of these evil ghosts, and they are now the sole civilization in the Netherworld.
Following the busy Netherworld Race and the complex Wangchuan River system, Li Hao’s gaze gradually centered on the true core of the Netherworld—the Reincarnation Altar.
This is a grand structure clearly modeled after the Creator Altar.
However, suspended above the altar is not the [Eye of the Creator], but a continually spinning soul wheel.
Each time it spins, it can send souls from the Wangchuan River to different realms, and each dispatch opens a brief passage to the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Without beginning or end, silent and unseen...
This is the Reincarnation Divine Artifact crafted by Yao Xin, using Bahe Ru’s Divine Remains, exhausting the entire Netherworld’s resources.
Its existence, in essence, is a qualification to "become a god," as whoever can master it will be the Death God of the Netherworld and the God of Reincarnation of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
