The underworld.
The seventy-second heaven.
"The casualties are completely unequal, the gap is too big..." The Three-Eyed Emperor looked at the statistics in his hand, his heart trembled slightly, and he said in a low voice.
It must be said that, for the current Netherworld, the acquired divine dynasty of the Great World of Living Beings is far, far more powerful.
Aside from the fact that there were no losses among the peak-level God Realm cultivators, the losses among the upper-level God Realm cultivators were only a few more than those in the Great World of Living Beings, while the losses among the lower-level and middle-level God Realm cultivators were several times greater than those of the Acquired God Clan Dynasty in the Great World of Living Beings.
The loss included tens of thousands of lower-level divine realm cultivators... nearly ten thousand mid-level divine realm cultivators... and several upper-level divine realm cultivators...
Compared to that, the loss of that peak god-level being by the Later God Dynasty in the Great World of Living Beings is nothing!
Because most of the gods in the Netherworld have condensed six-patterned divine cores, even if they are suppressed by the power of the rules of the Great World of Living Beings, they are still quite strong. If they were to fight against gods of the same level in the Great World of Living Beings, they would not only not be at a disadvantage, but would even be slightly superior!
Therefore, if it were truly a battle between equally powerful individuals, the Netherworld wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses!
However, there are too many powerful beings in the acquired divine dynasty of the Great World of Living Beings...
Peak God Realm is not something that can be dealt with by simply accumulating numbers of ordinary God Realm beings. As long as they encounter the opponent's peak God Realm beings, their side's God Realm beings are almost instantly killed!
The power formed by hundreds of peak-level gods is terrifying!
Of the more than 200,000 Netherworld God Realm experts, almost two-thirds were killed by those at the peak of the God Realm!
In other words, their war started rather suddenly, catching the Divine Realm of the Later God Dynasty in the Great World of Living Beings off guard. Also, there were many battlefields, and even if the enemy provided support, it would take time to deal with them one by one. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for the Netherworld to achieve such a record!
This is also why he ordered all the divine realm beings to retreat...
Now that the Later God Dynasty is on guard, if the fighting continues, their losses will be even more severe, and the gap between their losses and those of the Later God Dynasty in the Great World of Living Beings will widen rapidly, making it a losing proposition!
It would be better for them to wait in the Netherworld, allowing the divine beings of the Great World of Living Beings to enter the Netherworld in force, and then fight them!
If that were the case, their Netherworld's divine realm experts would be on their home turf, while the opponent's strength would be suppressed. With this addition and subtraction, plus the fact that it's impossible for all the divine realm experts from the acquired divine dynasty to enter the Netherworld, the gap between them and the opponent would be narrowed by more than just a little bit!
"However, the gains are also enormous..." After a pause, a complex expression flashed across the Three-Eyed Emperor's face as he thought to himself.
Yes, this large-scale attack on the Divine Clan Dynasty of the Great World of Living Beings will inevitably cause considerable losses to their Netherworld Divine Realm. He had anticipated this. He was not going to deliver casualties to the enemy for nothing. Even the fact that he had sent a large number of Netherworld Divine Realm cultivators to record the locations of high-resource areas in the Great World of Living Beings was just a side effect. His main purpose was to plunder the cultivation resources of the Divine Realm cultivators in the Great World of Living Beings.
The Netherworld is severely lacking in resources for cultivating at the Divine Realm level. Due to the severe shortage, many Divine Realm cultivators are unable to advance to the next level.
The lower and middle levels of the divine realm are alright...
What truly determines the victory in a great battle is not these lower-level gods!
The number of those at the upper-level divine realm and the peak divine realm in the Netherworld is far too small!
This can also be seen from the result of their large-scale entry into the world of living beings and the subsequent fate of the Celestial God Dynasty!
They need more superior divine realm beings, and even peak divine realm beings!
Ideally, it should be the peak of the divine realm!
A sharp glint flashed deep within the eyes of the Three-Eyed Emperor.
Reaching the pinnacle of the divine realm is no easy feat; talent, opportunity, and resources are all indispensable...
In terms of natural talent, most of the gods on their side are only at the six-patterned godhood level, which can only be described as barely acceptable.
Fortunately, the ghost cultivators of this era are not lacking in opportunities. Almost all of them have experienced breaking through dozens of new heavens in the Netherworld. Invisibly, they have all gained many benefits, which can definitely be considered a great opportunity.
Then there are resources.
If they had enough resources and a large number of superior-level gods, they might be able to produce some peak-level gods.
Time is not too scarce in the Great World of Living Beings; it is a hundred million years in the 64th to 72nd Heavens of the Netherworld. They can easily obtain a large amount of cultivation time.
One out of ten won't do...
Then we'll give one out of every few dozen, or one out of every hundred!
This large-scale attack on the realm of living beings involved millions of divine realm experts on both sides, and hundreds of thousands of them perished. It was no small war... The resources they obtained were also substantial, enough for them to cultivate many superior divine realm experts!
"Unfortunately, more than twenty superior-level gods perished in this war..." After a moment, a deep sense of regret flashed in the eyes of the Three-Eyed Emperor.
These twenty-odd superior god realm cultivators are mostly ghost cultivators who have cultivated in the Netherworld for hundreds of millions or even billions of years. If they have enough resources, they are among the most likely to break through to the peak god realm.
They originally numbered less than a hundred at the superior divine realm, and in this battle, they lost nearly a third of them.
"I hope it's worth it..." the Three-Eyed Emperor murmured.
He had no choice but to launch this war.
Otherwise, their strength would be difficult to increase rapidly.
They still have time.
Once the powerful beings of the Celestial God Dynasty in the Great World of Living Beings find a way to enter the Netherworld on a large scale, they will no longer have time to improve their strength.
By then, it would be too late for them to take action or regret their decision.
Unable to find the Blood Emperor... he had to consider these things...
He was also filled with deep worry.
Last time, the Blood Emperor reincarnated and disappeared from the Netherworld for hundreds of millions of years!
He fears that this time, he might have to wait hundreds of millions of years again, which would be far too long!
"Everyone come and collect your resources..." Soon, the Three-Eyed Emperor stopped thinking about this matter and sent out a series of telepathic messages to the Divine Realm cultivators in various places.
...
"The Blood Emperor's three wives all possess seven-patterned divine cores and have now reached the limit of the upper-level divine realm. They have a high probability of breaking through to the peak divine realm. Unfortunately, they are beings from the Great World of Living Beings and have already sensed the powerful repulsion of the Netherworld towards them. If they break through to the peak divine realm in the Netherworld, who knows what will happen..." Xia Qingqing, Lin Mengmeng, and the other two women were also present when the Three-Eyed Emperor distributed resources.
They were all dressed in white, their robes fluttering in the biting wind, looking at the nearly ten million divine beings ahead, like three heroines on a battlefield.
Xia Qingqing, Lin Mengmeng, and the other two women represented the Blood Emperor. It was something that the Three-Eyed Emperor could not do without being present when distributing resources, a fact that he certainly understood.
Unfortunately, the three ladies could not break through to the peak divine realm in the Netherworld. Otherwise, having three more peak divine realm experts on their side would be of great significance. However, they were not at ease sending the three ladies to the Great World of Living Beings to break through.
The Three-Eyed Emperor felt a pang of regret.
It took several days to distribute all the resources to nearly ten million Divine Realm experts.
During this time, the Three-Eyed Emperor also said some encouraging words. These resources were hard-won, and almost every resource was stained with the blood of his comrades. Although many had been retrieved from the Netherworld Reincarnation Land, many others had not been found.
Some may have been killed along with their souls, while others may have already entered the cycle of reincarnation.
After all, reincarnation is extremely mysterious; not to mention them, even the Blood Emperor of that time couldn't figure it out.
With the resources distributed, the entire upper echelons of the Netherworld entered a period of seclusion.
Of course, some passages to the Netherworld and the Realm of Living Beings that need to be defended still must be defended. Fortunately, the Netherworld currently has nearly ten million Divine Realm experts who take turns defending them, so the impact on the closed-door cultivation of the entire Netherworld's higher-ups is not too great.
Thousands of years...ten thousand years...hundred thousand years...
Time in the Netherworld's highest heavens flies by.
In the blink of an eye, only a month or two had passed in the Great World of Living Beings, while tens of millions of years had passed in the Netherworld's High Heavens.
Over these tens of millions of years, in the Netherworld's high heavens, there have been continuous breakthroughs in the realm of ghost cultivators, and with abundant resources, their progress has been remarkable.
There are reasons for this, such as insufficient resources but continuous accumulation of insights, and also the reason for their six divine attributes.
This moment also reveals the importance of the Six-Pattern Divine Rank.
A vast world of living beings.
The Great Hall of the Later Heaven Divine Clan Dynasty.
"For over a month now, no trace of the Netherworld Gods has been found. It seems they have retreated back to the Netherworld..."
"We also couldn't obtain any information about those two magic treasures from those superior-level Divine Realm ghost cultivators. It seems that those two magic treasures are very likely on those two peak-level Divine Realm ghost cultivators, or perhaps on the Haotian God King and the relatives and friends of that innate Divine Clan Crown Prince in this life..."
"Damn it, we can't enter the Netherworld, but they can come and go as they please. This is too much of a disadvantage!"
"It's only because they ran fast, otherwise, we would have definitely killed millions more of their Divine Realm experts and seen how many Divine Realm experts they would lose!"
Some powerful figures discussed among themselves, their words tinged with annoyance.
"Everyone, don't be impatient. The reason I summoned you all here is twofold: firstly, to see if there's any information about those powerful ghost cultivators or those two magical treasures; and secondly, to see if anyone has found a way to enter the Netherworld!"
After everyone had been discussing for a while, Emperor Huo Yi looked at them and spoke.
"If I had, I would have gone in and killed those bastards long ago. Those bastards killed quite a few of my men..."
"There's no better way. The only option left is to force a lower-level deity to enter. But once a lower-level deity enters the Netherworld, they'll be quickly killed by the enemy. It's completely useless!"
"No, no!"
The group of powerful figures all shook their heads.
While everyone was talking, Huo Yi observed their expressions.
After a moment, he said, "While you all don't have a solution, I have found one!"
"What?"
"Has His Majesty found a solution?"
"Your Majesty, please tell me quickly..."
Upon hearing Huo Yi's words, the powerful figures were all surprised, their words filled with delight.
"The solution has been found, and it's quite simple. We've prepared a magical artifact that allows lower-level and middle-level divine beings to enter the Netherworld without being repelled by its power. Although their strength will still be suppressed in the Netherworld, it allows our divine beings to enter unharmed, or even without a sound. Its significance is immense!" God Emperor Huo Yi said slowly.
"What? Only those at the lower-level or middle-level divine realm can enter?"
"What's the point of only allowing lower-level and mid-level Divine Realm cultivators to enter? It's harmless and effortless, so it's probably useless; they're just sending themselves to their deaths!"
"Indeed, the strength of a god-level being in the Netherworld is not low!"
The group of powerful figures looked grim.
"Your Majesty, is there a way to allow those at the upper-level and peak-level divine realms to enter the Netherworld?" Just then, a peak-level expert seemed to have discerned something from the expression of the Divine Emperor Huo Yi and tentatively asked.
"Excellent! Does Your Majesty have a way to allow those at the upper-level or peak-level divine realm to enter the Netherworld? If there is anything we can do to help, please feel free to ask..."
"Not bad, I, Old Demon, may not have much else, but I do have some strength!"
The powerful figures present were not fools, and they quickly realized that God Emperor Huo Yi seemed to have something else he hadn't said. It was very likely that it was a way to allow Upper-Level Gods and Peak Gods to enter the Netherworld. However, the God Emperor might put forward some conditions.
During this time, all the powerful figures have come to understand the potential of the Netherworld. It is definitely a world comparable to a great world of living beings. Therefore, the significance of breaking through the last nine new heavens of the Netherworld is extremely great.
In the beginning, when chaos was created, the great world of living beings appeared, but there were no new layers of heaven.
In addition, none of them were born at that time, nor did they have this opportunity.
Now, if one of them breaks through the last nine heavens of the Netherworld, they will very likely become the number one person in the Great World of Living Beings and the Netherworld.
They might even become the rulers of the underworld.
The Netherworld is a vast world with immense potential. If one were to become the ruler of the Netherworld, coupled with their current foundation, they would undoubtedly be the number one person in both realms.
That being said, even if they can't break through all nine layers of the Netherworld, breaking through only one or two layers would be good enough.
At this point, whoever goes in first will have the advantage.
Therefore, this matter is quite tempting.
If, at this time, the Divine Emperor Huo Yi provided them with a way to enter the Netherworld unharmed, they would still be willing to pay some price.
As the number one figure in the Post-Heavenly God Clan Dynasty, God Emperor Huo Yi controls the entire dynasty and possesses all its resources. It is quite normal that he found a way to allow Upper-Level Gods and Peak Gods to enter the Netherworld in the first place.
"We've actually found a way to allow those at the upper-level and peak-level divine realms to enter the Netherworld. In fact, it might even allow your strength in the Netherworld to be unsuppressed. However, we can't do that yet, and we'll need your help in the process..." Huo Yi smiled slightly as he spoke, seeing the excited expressions of the powerful figures.
"His Majesty has really found it?"
"Is it possible that their power is not suppressed in the Netherworld?"
"Your Majesty, please tell me quickly!"
"What's a little effort? We may not have much else, but we have plenty of strength!"
"I can't wait to go into the Netherworld and get revenge on those bastards! Damn it, they robbed me of a lot of things and killed a lot of my men a while ago!"
The eyes of all the powerful figures lit up, and they all spoke excitedly.
During this time, they had all tried to enter the Netherworld from the higher divine realms, and the difficulty was extremely great. It turned out that many of them had only tried it, but unexpectedly, the God Emperor actually found a way.
Moreover, it might allow their power in the Netherworld to be unrestricted.
To be honest, this has always been a concern for them.
If their strength is suppressed in the Netherworld, a single misstep could lead to a drastic change in their fate.
Just like when breaking through the new heavens of the underworld, it was almost...
For example, when facing a peak god-level expert from the Netherworld, he was almost defeated.
In crucial moments, this can be a huge disadvantage.
Hearing the God Emperor say this, they were naturally very excited.
