The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

Chapter 319: Creating the Ancestral Star Underworld and Mastering Six Authority!

"Master, the evolution of the underworld on our ancestral planet seems to have stalled."

Uchiha Mitsunori's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately focused his mind in response: "Stagnation? What went wrong?"

He used his Eye of the Gods technique to investigate the changes in the Underworld. The energy in the Underworld was much weaker than yesterday, as if it was blocked by something.

The voice of Houtu, the planetary consciousness, echoed in his mind once more: "Because our ancestral planet is a newly born habitable planet, it lacks sufficient historical foundation, resulting in too few rules for the underworld to support its complete operation. Please assist us in constructing core rules so that the underworld can continue to improve."

After pondering for a moment, Uchiha Mitsunori had an idea in mind.

During his time in the ninja world, he researched resurrection techniques with Tsunade and Orochimaru.

In order to understand the connection between the soul and the body, they consulted countless ancient books and even came into contact with the underworld, gaining some understanding of its basic structure.

The underworld is not simply a "soul storage place," but a special space that operates according to rules: first, it must be able to accommodate souls, then purify them through judgment and punishment, and finally guide them to reincarnation, forming a complete cycle of life and death.

"Sir, don't rush, I'll head to the Underworld now."

Uchiha Mitsuru's consciousness gradually detached from his body, sinking into the ground like a wisp of smoke.

After an unknown amount of time, the scene before him suddenly changed, and he found himself standing in a misty, foggy space.

There is no sky, no earth, only endless hazy gray light. Even the ground beneath your feet feels like soft clouds, devoid of any sense of solidity.

This is the underworld space of the ancestral star, which is still in its most primitive state.

A strange connection suddenly arose, and the consciousness of the Uchiha Mitsurugi seemed to become one with this underworld space.

He quickly grasped the current state of the underworld and the core rules it needed: guidance, judgment, reincarnation...

These rules, like scattered fragments, float in space, waiting to be pieced together.

Uchiha Mitsunori spoke slowly, his voice echoing in the hazy space!

"The law decrees: Treat the dead as if they were alive; the underworld shall have earth, sun, moon, and stars!"

The moment he finished speaking, the fragments of the "Earth" rules floating in the space suddenly lit up and converged at his feet.

The originally soft "clouds" gradually became solid, and the light brown earth spread outwards from underfoot.

In the blink of an eye, the once empty space had become a vast plain.

This plain stretches as far as the eye can see, its surface flat and solid, giving one an unparalleled sense of security.

Immediately afterwards, the fragments of the "light source" rules also began to operate.

In the east of the space, a pale golden "sun" slowly rose, its light soft and warm, illuminating the entire plain.

Meanwhile, in the western part of the space, a silvery-white "moon" quietly appeared, facing the "sun" from afar, bringing a touch of tranquility and mystery to this space.

These sun, moon, and stars are not real celestial bodies, but rather projections of the sky above our ancestral planet.

This provides a stable light source for the underworld, distinguishing between day and night.

"The law states: The underworld is the place of reincarnation, where rewards and punishments are given, and it is divided into the six realms of reincarnation and the eighteen levels of hell!"

This decree, like a resounding bell, echoed through the underworld, seemingly the origin of the universe, yet also the end of the world.

As this decree resounded, the entire underworld seemed to be activated, trembling violently.

Amidst this violent tremor, countless fragments of rules, as if drawn by an invisible force, began to converge frantically.

These fragments of rules danced in the air, colliding and merging with each other, gradually forming huge structures.

The most eye-catching of them all are the eighteen levels of hell, each with its own unique shape.

Some of them were burning with raging flames, some were flowing with icy river water, some were filled with choking smoke, and some were pitch black, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Each level of hell has a unique scene and atmosphere, making people feel endless fear and despair.

In the center of these hells, a colossal Reincarnation Platform rises from the ground.

This Reincarnation Platform is hundreds of feet high and is made entirely of black and white stone, covered with densely packed runes and patterns.

Six rays of light surrounded the Samsara Platform, displaying six colors: red, yellow, blue, green, white, and black, corresponding to the six realms of existence: "heaven, human, asura, animal, hungry ghost, and hell".

These six rays of light intertwined to form a giant halo that slowly rotated.

Each ray of light from the halo is like a passage to different worlds, awaiting the soul's journey and reincarnation.

As the eighteen levels of hell and the six paths of reincarnation gradually took shape, the Uchiha Mitsurugi could clearly feel that his connection with the underworld was becoming increasingly close.

His consciousness seemed to be integrated with the entire underworld, and he could feel the flow and change of every rule.

Just then, a special kind of "authority" surged into his consciousness like a torrent.

This "authority" was full of mystery and majesty, making his soul tremble.

He knew that this was a special power bestowed upon him by the underworld, and it was also a sign that he had become the lord of the underworld.

He can adjust the rules of the underworld at any time, and he can also sense the state of every soul in the underworld.

At the same time, more information about the workings of the underworld has emerged: for example, after a soul enters the underworld, it will first be guided to the judgment seat, where the judge will determine its destination based on the soul's behavior in life. The virtuous will enter the cycle of reincarnation, while the wicked will go to hell for purification, and will enter the cycle of reincarnation again after their evil thoughts have dissipated.

Just as the rules were finalized, several faint soul auras suddenly appeared in the underworld space.

These are the souls of ordinary people who have just died. Now that the rules of the underworld are improved, there is finally a place to house them.

However, a new problem soon arose: after these souls drifted into the underworld, without any guides, they could only wander aimlessly, some even drifting towards the eighteenth level of hell, creating a somewhat chaotic scene.

Uchiha Mitsunori frowned and immediately thought of a suitable candidate: Uchiha Hachiho.

It would be most fitting for him to serve as the "King of Hell" in the underworld, responsible for judging souls and managing the order of the underworld.

Sensing the location of the Eighth Hokage's soul, Uchiha Mitsunori softly called out, "Eighth Hokage, I know you can hear me. The Underworld of the Ancestral Star has just been established and needs a just ruler. I hope you can serve as King Yama and continue to protect the order of the Ancestral Star."

In the blink of an eye, the soul of the Eighth Hokage appeared before him, bowing respectfully: "Clan Chief, I am willing. It is my honor to continue serving our ancestral star and our clan."

Uchiha Mitsunori nodded and passed on the authority of "King Yama" to him: "From today onwards, you are the King Yama of the Ancestral Star Underworld, responsible for judging souls and guiding reincarnation. If you encounter any problems that you cannot solve, you can contact me at any time."

The moment he received the authority, Uchiha Hachiho's soul solidified and donned an official robe.

He solemnly said, "Please rest assured, clan leader, I will definitely manage the underworld well and will not let you down."

After saying this, he turned and flew towards the direction where the souls were wandering, beginning to guide those lost souls to the judgment seat.

Watching the busy figure of the Eighth Hokage, the Mitsunaka knew that managing the Underworld alone was far from enough for him.

After a moment's thought, he had a preliminary plan in mind: the ancestral star now has more than 2.6 million people, many of whom were highly respected, just and kind people in their lifetime, such as the elders who migrated from the ninja world, or people who have contributed to the development of the ancestral star.

"Houtu, go and screen the list of those virtuous, respected, just and kind people on our ancestral star. I want to select officials for the underworld from among them."

"Yes, Master."

Uchiha Mitsunori could clearly sense that an invisible energy net enveloped the entire ancestral planet.

The information about those warriors who stood up to protect their people, the elders who made fair judgments to mediate conflicts, and the scholars who devoted their lives to developing the agricultural and spiritual systems of their ancestral star... all flowed together and were categorized and organized by Houtu.

In less than half an incense stick's time, a detailed list clearly appeared in his mind.

The list not only included each person's name, age, and life story, but also Houtu's assessment of their character and abilities.

Uchiha Mitsunori closed his eyes, immersing himself in the list and carefully reviewing each line.

Select those candidates who meet the criteria of "fairness, kindness, and responsibility".

After reviewing the list, he opened his eyes, a hint of satisfaction flashing in them: "These people are all very good, covering different fields and different experiences, which can complement each other well and work together to maintain the order of the underworld."

"Master, the official positions in the Underworld are related to the fairness of the soul's reincarnation and directly affect the energy cycle of our ancestral planet. Is it really safe to open them up to ordinary people on such a large scale?"

"Don't worry, I believe in their abilities and character. Moreover, this will allow more people to have the opportunity to participate in the management of the underworld and jointly maintain its order."

"Furthermore, I will reward these people and issue announcements throughout the ancestral planet to publicize their deeds."

This serves both to commend their past good deeds and to inform ordinary people about the selection criteria for officials in the underworld.

......

Soon, on the television news broadcast on Zuxing, a beautiful female host announced, "Anyone of high moral character, respectability, fairness, and kindness, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to serve as a god in the underworld."

"List of those who have attained godhood: Shuke, Beta, Jiang Liuer, Old Master Q, Black Cat Detective..."

Upon seeing this broadcast, the people of Zuxing instantly erupted in uproar.

Granny Wang, who sells vegetables, excitedly chattered to her neighbor, "Did you hear that? A position in the underworld! We ordinary people can become one too! Uncle Zhang, who drowned while saving a child, doesn't he have a chance?"

Whispers rose and fell among the crowd; some people's eyes gleamed as they secretly resolved to do more good deeds in the future...
