Chapter 959: Chapter 27: Astounding Sentence Duration
The progression of Five Qi Chaoyuan into Innate Qi granted Wang Sheng the qualification to create worlds.
However, the system of reincarnation is only in its nascent stage.
According to his memories of the Underworld, many things are still lacking in this world.
“The most crucial is the Six Paths of Reincarnation; every soul will enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation to be reborn… it is the core and also the most mysterious aspect of the Underworld, something that cannot be omitted. However, for me right now, simple rebirth is possible, but I’m still far from achieving the Six Paths of Reincarnation.”
The Six Paths of Reincarnation seems merely to send the souls of living beings to various worlds for rebirth, with no particular difficulty.
But on closer thought, to ensure precise reincarnation, regardless of other conditions, you first need to connect the various worlds and have corresponding understanding of the beings in those worlds. Lacking in either aspect would prevent the reincarnation system from operating on a large scale.
“Currently, mastering the information of some beings in the starry sky is not much of a problem for me, but it’s only for a certain period of time. To perfectly grasp this, constant information updates are required…” Just thinking about it gives Wang Sheng a headache.
Even with his current cultivation, he still finds it quite troublesome.
And this is just considering the relatively simpler conditions.
Wang Sheng decides to set this aside for now since he has no intention of immediately deploying the reincarnation process; for now, the focus is on constructing each framework.
“The Six Paths of Reincarnation cannot be established for now, but the Ghost Gate, Judge Hall, Yama Hall of the Ten Halls Yama, Eighteen Layers of Hell, Nai River, and Naihe Bridge can be set up first. If they are not needed later, they can be scaled back.”
He is well aware that the Underworld system from his past life’s memories may not necessarily suit his current circumstances.
Ultimately, Wang Sheng thought it over, and the Judge Hall, Ten Halls Yama can be set aside for now.
Whereas the Nai River and Eighteen Layers of Hell can be established first.
Especially the Eighteen Layers of Hell, which can be considered a hallmark of the Underworld.
The Nai River is filled entirely with wandering spirits that cannot be reincarnated.
It’s infested with insects and snakes, reeking everywhere; the foul wind is pervasive. It is said that those with heinous crimes, upon passing the Nai River, would be dragged into it to suffer endless torment.
Among these, no wandering spirit is innocent.
With a wave of Wang Sheng’s hand, a giant portal appeared.
On the portal, a plaque, written with mind power, had some words.
Souls from everywhere can understand the meaning of these words—”Ghost Gate”.
“Once you step through the Ghost Gate, you are a stranger to the mortal world.” Wang Sheng muttered to himself.
The Ghost Gate is also considered a highly famous aspect of the Underworld, considered a symbol of the Underworld.
Entering the Ghost Gate makes one a soul of the Underworld.
People from the mortal world must not interfere.
Immediately after, he waved his hand again, and a long river descended from the sky, piercing through the entire chaotic domain, stretching across the land.
The long river appeared blood-colored, somewhat eerie to look at.
Wang Sheng did not allow it to become foul-smelling.
After all, no souls were yet entering it to be punished.
For now, it serves merely as a decoration and does not have the ability to restrict unallowed reincarnating souls.
Only when the reincarnation truly begins will such abilities manifest.
“The Ghost Gate and Nai River are there; Naihe Bridge is above the Nai River… Meng Po is supposed to be placed behind the ten halls of Yama… Otherwise, without memory, what’s the use of accepting punishment?”
As his voice fell, Naihe Bridge appeared, and behind it, there was an open space.
That place was reserved for establishing the reincarnation.
“Next is another essential facility of the Underworld, the Eighteen Layers of Hell!”
The Eighteen Layers of Hell.
From the first layer to the eighteenth layer, they are respectively:
Tongue Pulling, Scissors, Iron Tree, Evil Mirror, Steaming Cage, Copper Pillar, Knife Mountain, Ice Mountain, oil pot, Cow Pit, Stone Pressing, Chong Jiu, Blood Pool, Wangsi, Crucifixion, Volcano, Stone Mill, Knife and Saw.
Eighteen layers in total, covering almost all crimes.
Different crimes would lead to different hells.
For example, sowing discord, slandering others, and such would lead you to the first layer, the Tongue Pulling Hell.
The punishments correspond to the names of the hells.
A little demon wrenches open the mouth, clamps the tongue with iron pliers, and pulls it out.
No need to elaborate on the others…
The Eighteen Layers of Hell, each has its own punishment.
Though seemingly simple, with the augmentation of hell, they become excruciatingly painful.
“The Eighteen Layers of Hell should not determine entry based on the original crime terms; they can serve as references. But the duration of punishment can be considered. I remember the idea of the Eighteen Layers of Hell does not refer to spatial stratification, right?”
The “layers” of the Eighteen Layers of Hell do not refer to stratified spaces.
“If my memory is correct, the Eighteen Layers of Hell are stratified by time and the degree of pain; the deeper you go, the longer the punishment time and the more terrifying the pain…”
According to the information in Wang Sheng’s memory.
A day in the Eighteen Layers of Hell is equivalent to 3,750 years in the mortal world, and then it’s the same as the mortal world, thirty days amounting to a month, twelve months to a year.
“The minimum punishment seems to be ten thousand years in the Eighteen Layers of Hell…”
Bear in mind, ten thousand years in the Eighteen Layers of Hell is equivalent to 13.5 billion years in the mortal world.
13.5 billion years of punishment is terrifying even to imagine.
To endure Tongue Pulling for 13.5 billion years, and with the pain doubled.
“Without special augmentation, it could directly cause a soul to collapse, longing for a second death. This is only the first layer; every subsequent layer doubles in duration.”
The duration of punishment on the first layer of the Eighteen Layers of Hell is ten thousand years, and the second layer is transformed into twenty thousand years, the third layer forty thousand years, and so on. The eighteenth layer, Knife and Saw Hell, requires serving 4.9125 billion years, and this is using the Eighteen Layers of Hell’s time. When converted to mortal world time, one daren’t imagine how long it would be.
