Just as the Later God Dynasty of the Great World of Living Beings began to upgrade that magical artifact.
The divine power of the Netherworld also began to increase rapidly.
One year after the Great World of Living Beings, one hundred million years have passed in the Netherworld's High Heavens.
In the span of a hundred million years, the Netherworld gained two more peak-level gods, ninety upper-level gods, and forty to fifty thousand middle-level gods. All the ghost cultivators whose Yin-Yang balancing power Lin Yun used also reached the lower-level god realm.
There were ninety more Upper-level God Realm cultivators and two more Peak God Realm cultivators. It wasn't a ninety-to-two ratio, but rather that most of the original Upper-level God Realm cultivators had been accumulating power for a long time, and the large amount of resources they had acquired at this time gave them a boost.
The ghost cultivators who broke through to the two peak divine realms this time were all ghost cultivators who had already reached the upper-level divine realm.
However, to date, not many superior god realms have been born in the Netherworld. Not counting the Three-Eyed Emperor and the other peak god realm who achieved their peak god realms by refining godhood, these two peak god realms actually broke through on their own. This shows that the probability of peak god realms being born in the Netherworld is still very high.
In fact, if these ghost cultivators only possess a six-patterned divine core, the probability of them breaking through to the peak divine realm is extremely small. This also shows how much opportunity they gained by experiencing the rapid breaking of dozens of new heavens in the Netherworld.
It's certain that without such an opportunity, very few of them would have been able to cultivate to the peak of the Divine Realm.
Throughout the year, the Three-Eyed Emperor occasionally sent some mid-level and low-level divine beings to the Great World of Living Beings to explore the locations of various living being universes.
He was still making plans for Lin Yun's return to the Netherworld.
This time, the Three-Eyed Emperor's orders were no longer as vague as before. Instead of instructing the Gods to investigate the locations of the important resources of the innate gods, he directly explored and recorded the advanced cosmic locations of the Great World of Living Beings.
Their Netherworld God Realm and the Living Beings Great World God Realm have already engaged in several large-scale battles, so it's perfectly normal for them to want to explore the map of the Living Beings Great World now.
Advanced universes are relatively stable and less prone to problems, and they are also common coordinate references in the vast world of living beings.
In addition, the Netherworld God Realm had annihilated a large number of the Celestial God Realm beings from the Great World of Living Beings, and obtained some maps of the Great World of Living Beings from them. By comparing them with each other, the maps they now possessed were actually quite large, and the advanced cosmic coordinates they obtained far exceeded the number that the Netherworld God Realm had originally explored on their own.
This was an unexpected bonus.
In this year, there were occasional battles between the Netherworld God Realm and the Post-Heaven God Dynasty God Realm of the Great World of Living Beings, but the scale was never large.
In the Netherworld, some gods perished, while others were resurrected through the Netherworld's cycle of reincarnation.
The Netherworld currently has approximately 9.5 million lower-level gods, 130,000 middle-level gods, 150 upper-level gods, and five peak gods. Originally there were only four, but the Three-Eyed Emperor and his group devised a plan to kill a peak god from a later-stage god dynasty and obtain his top-grade godhood, so there is now one more.
It is evident that the strength of the Netherworld has improved significantly over the past year.
"Unfortunately... the resource consumption is also enormous..." In the Netherworld, the Three-Eyed Emperor said with a complicated expression.
At this moment, he fully understood what Lin Yun had felt back then. The flow of time in the Netherworld was too fast. Only one year had passed in the Great World of Living Beings, but a hundred million years had passed in the High Heavens of the Netherworld. A hundred million years... nearly ten million Divine Realm cultivators had been trained. What enormous resources would that require?
With various provincial and municipal budget cuts, coupled with the reduction of numerous cultivation resources for lower-level divine realm cultivators, the situation has become unsustainable.
"It seems we should go to the Great World of Living Beings again to plunder some resources..." the Three-Eyed Emperor murmured.
Perhaps it's because the Netherworld has only recently begun to produce resources for cultivating the divine realm, or perhaps... even the great laws of heaven and earth didn't expect that so many divine beings would be born in the Netherworld in such a short time, or perhaps it's for some other reason.
In short, the natural resources for cultivating in the Netherworld are far inferior to the resources they need. If they were to rely solely on the resources from the Netherworld and cultivate slowly, their efficiency would be at least a hundred times slower.
Normally, he wouldn't mind taking a little longer, but now, they clearly couldn't afford to procrastinate like this.
The powerful figures of the Post-Heavenly God Clan Dynasty in the Great World of Living Beings obtained information about the Netherworld from the ghost cultivators of the Netherworld's divine realm. They also obtained a lot of information from the divine realm cultivators of the Post-Heavenly God Clan Dynasty in the Great World of Living Beings. They vaguely knew that the Great World of Living Beings had been searching for a way to allow the divine realm cultivators of the Great World of Living Beings to enter the Netherworld.
No one knows for sure when the other party will find it.
They must improve their strength as soon as possible.
Five peak-level gods... three of them were peak-level gods who achieved their status through refining divine sparks...
Even if we add about 150 superior gods, their strength is still far, far inferior to that of the acquired god dynasty in the Great World of Living Beings!
They have no time to waste.
Therefore, their next trip to the Great World of Living Beings to plunder resources is inevitable...
"If only we could seize more resources, the Netherworld has been too stingy over the past hundred million years. Otherwise, we would definitely have far more high-level gods by now... It's a pity... After the last raid, if we raid the Celestial God Dynasty in the Great World of Living Beings again, we'll probably only get less resources, not more..."
The Three-Eyed Emperor sighed and shook his head slightly.
It didn't take long, only about a month after the Netherworld's high heavens had passed, before the Three-Eyed Emperor began to summon some of the Netherworld's divine realms.
Speed is of the essence in war, and he made the arrangements in just a few breaths.
A total of two million lower-level divine realm cultivators, fifty thousand middle-level divine realm cultivators, one hundred upper-level divine realm cultivators, and five peak divine realm cultivators were dispatched. The Haotian Divine King used the power of the formation to assist, and Xia Qingqing, Lin Mengmeng, Zi Yun, and some of Lin Yun's close friends also provided assistance.
Soon, this divine team once again ventured into the Great World of Living Beings.
To avoid being too conspicuous and being wiped out by the powerful beings of the Later God Dynasty in the Great World of Living Beings, they entered the Great World of Living Beings in a dispersed manner, and quickly became even more scattered after entering.
Overall, it looks like a drop of water merging into the ocean, quickly disappearing from sight.
However, battles soon broke out throughout the entire world of living beings.
Ten days...
This time, the Three-Eyed Emperor only allowed the divine beings to stay in the Great World of Living Beings for ten days before summoning them all back to the Netherworld.
Ten days, the losses are too great!
Two hundred thousand lower-level gods were lost, five thousand middle-level gods were lost, and twenty-five upper-level gods were lost. Fortunately, the five peak gods were together and none of them perished!
But such losses are still too great!
The losses in ten days will exceed the losses of the previous month!
However, this also shows the power that the Later God Dynasty of the Great World of Living Beings displayed after it took precautions against them.
Compared to the enormous losses in the Netherworld, this time, the losses in the World of Living Beings were only one-fifth or one-sixth of the original losses, and not a single peak-level god-realm expert fell. The casualty ratio between the two worlds far exceeded that of the last time!
"If we don't retreat now, the casualty ratio on both sides will be even greater. If the enemy tracks us down to our location as peak-level gods, we might even face total annihilation..." The Three-Eyed Emperor took a deep breath and said softly.
We had no choice but to withdraw.
"The resources we obtained are only one-third of what they were last time. That means we can probably only use one-third of the time the Netherworld God Realm used last time..." Afterwards, the Three-Eyed Emperor looked at the information sent by his subordinates, made a final count, and his face twitched slightly as he muttered to himself.
This time, their battle with the Great World of Living Beings lasted ten days, but the resources they obtained were only enough to consume the Great World of Living Beings for about three or four months.
In fact, if they were to use them more freely, and considering the increase in the number of high-level gods in the Netherworld, these resources might not even be enough for them to use for two or three months.
This means that if they want to maintain this training speed, they need to wage a war of this scale every two or three months.
Furthermore, their losses this time amounted to almost a quarter of the strength that the Netherworld's High Heaven had increased over the past 100 million years, meaning there were no losses among the peak divine realm beings.
Is such a loss really worthwhile?
No wonder the Three-Eyed Emperor's face twitched slightly after seeing this information.
In this great battle, the Netherworld lost more than 200,000 Divine Realm cultivators. Although more than 90 percent of them were Lower-Rank Divine Realm cultivators, this number was still terrifying.
In particular, he knew that only one-fifth of these divine realms had returned after reincarnation by cultivating and refining their divine cores, while the other four-fifths were divine realms influenced by Lin Yun's mysterious power, all of which had condensed six-patterned divine cores.
Given enough resources and time, they would almost certainly cultivate to at least the upper-level divine realm, and there was even a considerable probability that they would cultivate to the peak divine realm.
Such a loss of tens of thousands of yuan is too great.
At this rate of loss, even the Netherworld absolutely cannot afford to suffer such losses.
"If the Blood Emperor knew..." the Three-Eyed Emperor thought bitterly.
But in all honesty, he truly cared about the Netherworld. Only in this way could the safety of the Netherworld be improved rapidly. In case the powerful beings of the Later God Dynasty of the Great World of Living Beings found a way to enter the Netherworld in the future, they would not be without much power to resist.
"There are gains and losses. I hope the Blood Emperor can understand. When the Blood Emperor returns, he should be very happy to see that the Netherworld is very powerful..." A faint light flashed in the depths of the Three-Eyed Emperor's eyes as he spoke softly.
With the large-scale retreat of the Netherworld God Realm, the entire Netherworld God Realm once again entered a period of focused cultivation.
A vast world of living beings.
The Later Heaven Divine Clan Dynasty.
Some powerful figures were also furious.
This time, they lost many resources to the Netherworld God Realm again.
What's most infuriating is that, not long after they launched their counterattack and were just beginning their massacre, the enemy quickly retreated back to the Netherworld.
"hateful!"
"Those bastards, they ran away too fast!"
"I almost killed that superior god-level expert..."
Several powerful figures shouted angrily.
The Divine Emperor Huo Yi was also present.
After listening to everyone vent for a while, Divine Emperor Huo Yi smiled faintly and said, "This time, the enemy lost a total of over 200,000 Divine Realm experts, while we lost less than 40,000. It can be called a great victory. Although you all lost some resources, our gains were also enormous. We have over 200,000 low-grade Divine Sparks alone! Several thousand mid-grade Divine Sparks! And more than 20 high-grade Divine Sparks!"
“Under normal circumstances, those resources might not be enough to cultivate more than 200,000 God Realm experts. Even if they could, who knows when it would be possible. But now, we can easily increase the number of God Realm experts by more than 200,000!”
Even if we subtract the more than 30,000 Divine Realm cultivators we lost, our number of Divine Realm cultivators still increased by more than 160,000 to 170,000! Our strength has increased while the enemy's strength has decreased. This is a good thing, not a bad thing!
Emperor Huo Yi spoke, appearing to be in a good mood.
The upgrade of that magical artifact went very smoothly. Before long, they would be able to launch a large-scale attack on the Netherworld. At this time, the gods of the Netherworld would even come to deliver food to them, which naturally pleased him.
In his view, the ghosts of the underworld should have sensed something, and their current reaction was nothing more than a death throes.
"Forehead……"
"His Majesty seems to be saying..."
Some of the powerful figures were slightly taken aback, then realized what was happening.
“However, Your Majesty, the other side is different from us. The flow of time in the Netherworld is vastly different from that in the Great World of Living Beings. Furthermore, those ghost cultivators who break through to the God Realm and cultivate during their God Realm journey seem to have it easier than we have. I’ve heard that there may be four or five peak God Realm cultivators among them this time, which far exceeds the two they had before…”
Just then, a peak-level Divine Realm expert frowned slightly.
In just over a year, two or three more peak Divine Realm experts have emerged. If they were allowed to live for a few more years, what would become of them?
"Where there are disadvantages, there are often advantages, and vice versa. I have also collected relevant information about what the Soul Devouring God Lord said. The reality is not as exaggerated as the Soul Devouring God Lord described. Without that innate divine prince, the difficulty for ordinary cultivators in the Netherworld to break through to the God Realm has greatly increased. In recent years, the number of newly added God Realm cultivators in the Netherworld has not been too many, and the increase in high-level God Realm cultivators has also been slow..." God Emperor Huo Yi glanced at the peak God Realm cultivator who was speaking and nodded slightly.
"This time, quite a few of their Divine Realm experts have fallen, and they haven't gained many resources. They might not necessarily have an advantage!" After a pause, Divine Emperor Huo Yi said.
"Even if we let them gain a slight advantage this time, it doesn't matter. The magic weapon we've been cultivating will soon be upgraded to a high-grade divine artifact. At that time, it will allow the upper-level divine realm of the dynasty to enter the Netherworld unharmed. Next time, if they dare to do this again, we will definitely make them suffer a great loss!" Divine Emperor Huo Yi smiled and continued.
How did the acquired gods defeat the innate gods hundreds of millions of years ago?
It's not just about constantly defeating and killing enemies, obtaining their divine status, weakening their strength, strengthening your own, and then accumulating enough to defeat the innate gods in one fell swoop.
The war in the realm of gods can also be seen as a war of mutual devouring.
Otherwise, how could the number of their acquired gods have increased to millions or even tens of millions in just a few hundred million years, when their number of gods was not large? Even with abundant resources and great talent, it shouldn't be this high!
In the past, this was the case between the acquired gods and the innate gods; now, it is the same between the acquired gods and the Netherworld God Realm.
