Honghuang: In the Investiture of the Gods, I Am the Netherworld Emperor

Rule over the netherworld and decide life and death; tread the cycle of reincarnation and claim the title of Supreme Emperor!

Jiang Shui transmigrates to the Primordial World on the eve of the Investiture of the Gods, becoming a lonely wandering ghost atop Xuanyuan Tomb.

At this point, the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods is still more than a thousand years away. When it arrives, he will inevitably be implicated for stealing the Human Race's incense offerings.

To prepare for the coming calamity, he uses the name of the Xuanyuan Clan to do good deeds and accumulate merit, while diligently cultivating the ghostly path. He cleaves apart yin and yang, sneaks into the underworld, meets Empress Pingxin, and becomes her sole personal disciple.

When the Investiture of the Gods begins, he takes part as a ghost deity, deftly evading calamity, saving King Zhou, preserving the Human Path, befriending the Three Xiao Sisters, and paying homage to Tongtian. He sees through life and death, anticipates his enemies' moves, and wins opportunities for the underworld.

After the Investiture of the Gods ends, the Primordial World's great powers covet the underworld's fortune and seek to claim it for themselves. With the opportunities he gained during the calamity, Jiang Shui allies with the Jie Sect and suppresses all opposition. He cleaves open the underworld, establishes Fengdu, and proclaims himself the Great Emperor Fengdu!

Later, he enters the Heavenly Court and takes his place among the Six Imperial Lords. He alone claims the Nether Path, merges with the Great Dao, and becomes a Sage. His titles are Netherworld Emperor, Ruler of Reincarnation, Sovereign of the Underworld, and Supreme Emperor!
