Honghuang: With Heaven-Defying Comprehension, From Underworld Bailiff to Netherworld Emperor

Gu You transmigrates to the primordial world and becomes a low-ranking cannon-fodder ghost soldier in the Netherworld.

The Six Paths have only just been established, and karma and karmic retribution are intertwined. A single misstep could leave him utterly annihilated.

Fortunately, he awakens [Heaven-Defying Comprehension]. In his eyes, any ordinary method can be extrapolated into the supreme Great Dao!

[You study the Netherworld Yin-Gathering Art and combine it with the ley lines of the Nine Hells. You comprehend the mythic technique, Divine-Demon Prison-Suppressing Force!]

[You gaze at the flowers on the far bank of the River of Forgetfulness and grasp the truth of life and death. You create the supreme divine ability, One Thought, Flowers Bloom, Ruling the World!]

[You watch Pingxin transform into the cycle of reincarnation and discern the source of the Six Paths. You derive the foremost of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws, the Great Reincarnation Art!]

Starting out as a little ghost soldier in the Netherworld, Gu You cultivates the Great Dao, forges netherworld treasures, and gathers fortune, seeking only freedom beyond the mortal realm.

Countless epochs later, the Investiture of the Gods calamity erupts. The Sages sit high in the clouds, planning to seize the fortune of the Six Paths by force.

Deep in the Nine Hells, a terrifying netherworld might that has dominated the ages surges into the sky, shattering the boundless galaxy!

Empress Pingxin stands at his side. Gu You stands upon a red lotus, the Six Paths resting in his palm. His indifferent voice resounds across the primordial world:

"I am the Lord of the Nine Hells."

"Within the Netherworld, Sages may not tread! Whoever dares reach in will be buried along with the heavens!"

Hongjun is stunned, and the Sages' Dao hearts crumble!
