Several tens of minutes later, outside the hidden space.
Xia Qingqing, Lin Mengmeng, Zi Yun, and Guan Xiangsi turned around and looked at the fortune teller behind them.
"Senior, are you really not coming to the Netherworld with us?" Xia Qingqing asked.
Having met Guan Xiangsi and learned some of the truths of the past, Xia Qingqing and the other two women could roughly determine that it was unlikely that this fortune teller was a powerful figure from the Later God Clan Dynasty. This was because powerful figures from the Later God Clan Dynasty would only hope that Lin Yun would perish completely, and would not wish for anything else. It was even less likely that they would ask Guan Xiangsi to save Lin Yun or ask Xiao Erduo to help Lin Yun.
Therefore, even if the Divine Calculator had ulterior motives, he should now share a common enemy with them, namely the powerful figures of the Later God Dynasty.
Furthermore, although the Divine Calculator is strong, the combined strength of the Blood Prison Sword and the Heavenly Dao Tower is not weak, and may even be stronger than the Divine Calculator. The Divine Calculator is a primordial god and a powerful being in the realm of living beings. Once he enters the Netherworld, his strength will be suppressed.
In that case, if the Divine Calculator enters the Netherworld and has any ideas, they, along with the divine beings of the Netherworld, should be able to deal with it.
Conversely, if the Divine Calculator were to actually help them, the Netherworld would gain far too much power.
First, there are six peak-level gods who achieved their divine status through refining their divine essence, and more than twenty superior-level gods.
Furthermore, their combined strength is comparable to that of five peak-level divine beings working together.
In addition, there are powerful figures like the Divine Calculator.
The combat power of the high-level gods in the Netherworld has more than doubled!
There is a high probability that they can suppress the acquired divine race dynasty's divine realm that has entered the Netherworld in one fell swoop!
The strong will always get stronger, and the weak will always get weaker!
In this way, the results can be drastically different!
"No need," the Divine Calculator said with a smile. "With the addition of these Netherworld God Realm experts refined from divine essences, you should be able to withstand those Life Realm God Realm experts attacking the Netherworld. The difference in time flow between the Life Realm and the Netherworld's higher heavens is enormous. My role in staying in the Life Realm might be even greater."
"Senior!" Xia Qingqing's expression changed.
Previously, the fortune teller only said he would stay in the realm of living beings, without saying anything like this. They thought that the fortune teller was worried about entering the Netherworld. After all, ghost cultivators and living beings are opposed to each other, so it was normal for him to have such thoughts.
If they are wary of each other, then naturally the other party can also be wary of them.
Now, however, they realized that the fortune teller seemed to be planning to do something more in the realm of living beings. How could they not be alarmed?
Ultimately, the Divine Calculator was only one person, far inferior to the strength of the acquired divine dynasty in the realm of living beings.
If they are surrounded, it's not impossible for them to be wiped out in the blink of an eye.
"Don't worry, my ability to glimpse the secrets of heaven is not to be underestimated. It won't be easy for the powerful figures of the Later God Dynasty to do anything to me. I've been fine for hundreds of millions of years, so it won't be so easy for me to be in trouble now either," the Divine Calculator said with a smile again.
Then, the fortune teller turned to Guan Xiangsi and said, "You only need to take good care of my disciple."
“Master…” Guan Xiangsi said, her eyes reddening and biting her lip.
call!
However, before she could say anything more, the fortune teller's body had already disappeared.
"Let's go!" Xia Qingqing took a deep breath and turned around.
The diviners have made their choice, and they need to hurry up and send these divine essences to the Netherworld.
The flow of time between the Netherworld and the Realm of Living Beings is extremely fast. Every bit of time they spend in the Realm of Living Beings can cause earth-shattering changes in the Netherworld, and they cannot afford to waste any more time.
Whew! Whew! Whew!
The four women's bodies moved rapidly through the space.
A few minutes later, Xia Qingqing and the other three girls arrived at a passageway.
A strong shockwave came from a distant space, and Xia Qingqing and the other three girls trembled as well.
Then, they suddenly turned around and looked in that direction.
“It’s Senior Divine Calculator…” Xia Qingqing said, her expression shifting.
They sensed that it was the Divine Calculator senior fighting someone, and the commotion was enormous, indicating that the scale of the battle was considerable.
"what to do?"
Should we go back to provide support?
Lin Mengmeng and Ziyun exchanged a quick glance.
“My three sisters, when we left just now, Master sent me a message, telling us to take this opportunity to enter the Netherworld as soon as possible. Over the past hundreds of millions of years, he has fought countless battles with the powerful figures of the Post-Heavenly God Dynasty. He will be fine, so please don’t worry.” At this moment, Guan Xiangsi stepped forward, looked at Xia Qingqing and the other two, and said.
"So, Senior Divine Calculator deliberately attracted the attention of the powerful figures of the Post-Heavenly God Clan Dynasty?" Xia Qingqing said in a deep voice.
“It will take us time to enter the Netherworld, and Senior Divine Calculator knows this…” Lin Mengmeng and Ziyun said softly.
It has to be said that the fortune teller's actions significantly increased their safety.
"Let's go! Don't waste Senior Divine Calculator's kindness!" Xia Qingqing said, taking a slight breath.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Qingqing turned around, and a force rose from her body, enveloping the four of them. The next moment, they walked towards the passage ahead.
If it weren't for Guan Xiangsi's words, they wouldn't be able to enter the Netherworld with peace of mind right now.
Having heard Guan Xiangsi's words, they knew that if they didn't hurry into the Netherworld, they would be wasting the Divine Calculator's good intentions.
"Boom!"
As the four women entered the passage, the entire passage trembled violently. Even though a strong force of Yin-Yang balance and the spatial power of the Heavenly Dao Tower enveloped them, they could not stop the tremors from becoming more and more intense.
Finally, when the vibration reached a certain level, it stabilized.
Step by step, the four women struggled forward.
A minute later, only one-tenth of the four women had left.
At this rate, it would take the four women at least ten minutes to fully enter the Netherworld.
Even with array formations around the passage, it would be difficult to prevent some weak fluctuations from emanating over such a long period of time.
It is certain that if the fortune teller hadn't caused trouble on the other side, their chances of being discovered would have increased significantly.
Even now, there is still a chance they might be discovered.
However, the fortune teller has already done more for them.
As the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes; we can only gamble on fate.
Ten minutes later, Xia Qingqing and the other three women entered the Netherworld.
"Mistress!"
"Mistress!"
The two ghost cultivators at the Divine Realm had already received the information and were waiting in the Netherworld. When they saw Xia Qingqing and the other three women enter, they greeted them respectfully.
"Has any news come from the realm of living beings?" Xia Qingqing asked, looking at one of the ghost cultivators.
Just now, they were inside the passage when it trembled violently. It was inconvenient for news from the Netherworld to reach them, and it was also inconvenient for them to sense the fluctuations from the Realm of Living Beings.
Little did they know, how the fortune teller was doing now.
Ghost cultivators in the Netherworld can obtain information about the living world through other channels.
"Reporting to the Majesty, in the Realm of Living Beings, ten minutes ago and five or six minutes ago, there were fluctuations from two directions in the Realm of Living Beings where powerful figures were fighting. Our analysis suggests that it was the Divine Calculator Senior and the Primordial God Clan who made the move, as the Majesty mentioned earlier..." A Ghost Cultivator in the Divine Realm bowed and said.
"Ten minutes ago and five or six minutes ago?" Xia Qingqing's pupils contracted slightly.
Ten minutes ago, it must have been the Divine Calculator who made the move; five or six minutes ago... it was probably the Innate God Clan who made the move?
Such a high-profile exchange, with only a few minutes' difference... it's almost impossible to say that they weren't connected.
"Could it be that Senior Divine Calculator ordered the Primordial God Clan to take action? Or perhaps the Primordial God Clan knew about our situation and took action on their own initiative..." Xia Qingqing's heart sank slightly.
It's not impossible. Now that they know that Senior Divine Calculator is the hidden top expert who has been protecting the Innate God Clan all these years, with Senior Divine Calculator taking the lead, coupled with their special identities, there is a high possibility that the remaining Innate God Clan will take the initiative to act.
At that moment, she felt even greater pressure.
The Primordial Gods were the race Lin Yun belonged to in his previous life. Lin Yun was once the crown prince of the Primordial Gods. In the Great World of Living Beings, hundreds of millions of years ago, the Primordial Gods lost a great war against the Acquired Gods. Nearly hundreds of millions of years later, the Celestial Gods launched a siege against the Primordial Gods. There were not many Primordial Gods left. It can be said that the remaining Primordial Gods are of great significance.
Now, the Primordial Gods have taken the initiative to act...
She knew the strength of the Later God Clan Dynasty; it could be said that the Innate God Clan was taking a huge risk with this move.
It is even possible that all the innate gods who made a move would be completely wiped out.
Thinking about this, Xia Qingqing even considered turning back to support the Divine Calculator and the Primordial God Clan.
"Sister Qingqing, don't worry too much. The Innate God Clan has been safe for so many years, so they must have some means..." At this moment, Guan Xiangsi stepped forward again and said.
"Did the Divine Calculator senior relinquish his power to the Primordial God Clan?" Xia Qingqing asked Guan Xiangsi.
Guan Xiangsi sighed softly and said in a low voice, "My three elder sisters have special identities. Now that my master already knows, he naturally can't ignore it..."
Xia Qingqing took a deep breath.
As expected, the Primordial Gods made their move.
It was all arranged by the fortune teller.
“Let’s go to the Seventy-Second Heaven…” Xia Qingqing looked up at the endless space above and said.
They couldn't waste the fortune teller's good intentions.
While the Three-Eyed Emperor and other high-ranking figures from the Netherworld were participating in the great battle, Xia Qingqing did not go directly to the battlefield, but instead went to the highest heaven of the Netherworld.
The candidates had been chosen long ago, and soon Xia Qingqing selected the ghost cultivators who would refine those divine essences.
One year later, in the seventy-second heaven of the Netherworld, the Netherworld gained six more peak-level gods and twenty-two more superior-level gods.
There are a total of twenty-eight superior-grade divine sparks, but ghost cultivators who refine top-grade divine sparks also need to be ghost cultivators at the superior-level divine realm. Therefore, the number of ghost cultivators at the superior-level divine realm has only increased by twenty-two.
However, even so, in terms of sheer numbers, the number of high-level gods in the Netherworld has more than doubled.
Including Xia Qingqing and the other two women, all of them had reached the peak of the Divine Realm. Although they were suppressed by the power of the Netherworld Laws, with the assistance of the Blood Prison Sword and the Heavenly Dao Tower, their power did not decrease much and they could be compared with three ordinary peak Divine Realm experts.
Such combat power, once it entered the battlefield, immediately greatly increased the strength of the gods in the Netherworld.
"kill--"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The gods of the Netherworld, even more invigorated, charged towards the gods of the Living Beings Realm.
"Boom—"
"Boom!"
Immediately, more than a dozen mid-level gods from the living world were caught off guard and were hit by wave after wave of attacks, causing them to perish one after another. Two or three high-level gods were also seriously injured.
"retreat!"
"Retreat quickly!"
The beings from the Divine Realm were greatly alarmed and quickly retreated.
Damn it!
"It must be those divine essences that those three women brought back!"
On the side of the Divine Realm in the Realm of Living Beings, a group of peak Divine Realm experts angrily expressed their opinions.
Although not much time has passed in the Realm of Living Beings, they have already received news from the Realm of Living Beings that during this period, Xia Qingqing and the other two women broke through to the peak God Realm in the Realm of Living Beings and killed a large number of peak God Realm and superior God Realm beings from their Acquired God Clan Dynasty.
"Those people outside are also useless. Nearly a hundred peak-level God Realm cultivators and two or three thousand superior-level God Realm cultivators were killed by three women who had just broken through to the peak-level God Realm, and they were completely unharmed. They even let them send those divine sparks into the Netherworld, increasing the power of the Netherworld's God Realm by so much..."
One of the peak-level gods in the realm of living beings openly expressed his dissatisfaction with the acquired god-race dynasty experts left behind outside, angrily saying that he was almost pointing out the God Emperor's poor command.
Other beings in the realm of living beings also expressed similar words and states.
It's no wonder they're angry; anyone would be upset in that situation.
They risked their lives in the Netherworld, fighting to the death with the Netherworld Gods, while the people left behind in the Realm of Living Beings not only failed to help them, but also caused them so much trouble.
If Xia Qingqing and her two companions were very powerful, or if they brought a large number of strong individuals that would make it difficult for the Later God Clan Dynasty to resist, that would be fine. However, the opponent only had three people, plus the hidden expert from the Innate God Clan. Even so, compared to the strength of the Later God Clan Dynasty left outside, the gap was still enormous.
In the end, this is the result?
How could they not be angry?
However, it's too late to blame anyone now.
"Retreat...retreat again..."
This time, the Netherworld God Realm side gained too much power, leaving the Living Beings God Realm side somewhat disadvantaged both psychologically and strategically, forcing them to retreat again and again.
In an instant, the God Realm of the Living Beings began to weaken, while the God Realm of the Netherworld gradually began to reclaim its territory.
Originally, the Divine Realm side of the Living Beings were supposed to fight up to the fiftieth level of the Netherworld, but before long, they all retreated to below the forty-ninth level.
...
Ultimately, the number of gods on the side of the living realm was endless, but they were caught off guard at the beginning. On the other hand, the number of gods on the side of the underworld decreased as the battle continued. With one side increasing and the other decreasing, the combat power of the two sides gradually returned to balance.
After that, the Divine Realm side of the Living Beings Realm once again gained the upper hand.
The Netherworld, the fiftieth heaven has been breached!
The Fifty-first Heaven is broken!
...
The sixtieth heaven has been broken!
...
The Sixty-Fifth Heaven is Broken!
The sixty-fifth heaven is the first heaven of the last new heaven. The breaking of this heaven even affects the stability of the last eight heavens and the assistance of the Netherworld Laws to the ghost cultivators. Its significance is great!
It can be said that the situation in the Netherworld is becoming increasingly serious!
Only the last eight heavens remain, still holding out!
Almost all the ghost cultivators stayed in the last few heavens of the Netherworld. Many ghost cultivators below the God Realm also began to join in the support. They could not participate in the battle directly, but they could help stabilize the space of the last few heavens and so on!
When the powerful beings of the acquired divine dynasty in the realm of living beings attacked the barrier between the heavens, the space of the higher heavens was also affected because of the close proximity!
However, because of this, every time the Divine Realm of the Living Beings attacks the Heavenly Boundary of the Netherworld, a large number of ghost cultivators suffer spatial shock damage, and many ghost cultivators perish!
Even so, a large number of ghost cultivators still rushed to join the effort to stabilize the Netherworld space!
They have nowhere left to retreat!
Only a few layers of the Netherworld remain unconquered by the divine realm of the living beings...
Once all the heavens are breached, their fate will likely be to become cultivation resources for cultivators in the living world!
Only the Lower Heavens are connected to the Realm of Living Beings. Every time a God Realm cultivator breaks through a Heaven, they use an array to cover the boundary of that Heaven. High-level God Realm cultivators are fine, but low-level God Realm cultivators can no longer break through the boundary to enter the Lower Heavens, not to mention ghost cultivators below the God Realm. At this time, they can't even escape to the Realm of Living Beings!
It's better to join the battle now. Even if they perish, if the Netherworld side wins, they will still have a chance to awaken again in the Land of Reincarnation!
...
The Sixty-Sixth Heaven is Broken!
The sixty-seventh heaven is broken!
...
"We can't wait any longer. The time flow difference between the Netherworld and the Realm of Living Beings is enormous. If we don't go to the Realm of Living Beings to interfere with them, it may be too late..." Xia Qingqing and the other two women were fighting against the gods of the Realm of Living Beings together with the gods of the Netherworld. Suddenly, Xia Qingqing turned around, looked at the Three-Eyed Emperor, and shouted in a low voice with her eyes glowing crimson.
Based on the time they had spent in the Netherworld, they had been fighting against the gods of the living realm for millions of years. During this time, they only took a short break when the gods of the living realm retreated briefly to replenish their forces. Apart from that, they had not rested at all.
They're exhausted after fighting for so long.
However, they had no choice but to continue killing.
Lin Mengmeng and Zi Yun also looked up at the Three-Eyed Emperor.
At this moment, their clothes were already stained with blood, and fine beads of sweat glistened on the hair on their foreheads. However, they had neither the energy nor the mood to use any divine power to clean themselves, as they still needed to save their divine power to kill the enemy.
Not a single grain can be wasted.
"The three mistresses..." The Three-Eyed Emperor looked up and was somewhat moved when he saw the appearance of Xia Qingqing and the other two women.
Unlike Xia Qingqing and the other two women, who are powerful beings in the living world and are constantly suppressed in the Netherworld, he is a powerful ghost cultivator in the Netherworld. He can use his power in the Netherworld with ease. Although he fights for longer than Xia Qingqing and the other two women and often uses his divine eye ability, he is not as tired as Xia Qingqing and the other two women when he controls the frequency.
“The three mistresses, please reconsider. After what happened last time, the Divine Clan Dynasty will probably be on guard. It will not be easy for the three mistresses to do what happened last time, and even…” the Three-Eyed Emperor hesitated.
He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear: given that the Divine Dynasty was prepared, it was highly likely that the three matriarchs would encounter a life-or-death crisis as soon as they entered the Realm of Living Beings.
Last time, it was only with the help of a diviner and some innate gods that Xia Qingqing and the other two women were able to return safely.
Now, because the Netherworld's lower heavens have been breached by the Divine Realm of the Living Beings, it is not easy for low-level ghost cultivators from the Netherworld to enter the lower heavens, so they have far fewer sources of information in the Living Beings.
According to the information they obtained in their last few encounters, the innate gods who attacked last time in the realm of living beings likely suffered significant losses.
The situation regarding the fortune teller is still unknown.
However, even if you don't know, you can probably guess.
It's almost as if the Divine Race Dynasty hasn't been targeted. But if the Divine Calculator keeps causing trouble and attracting the attention of the powerful figures in the Divine Race Dynasty, the current situation is probably like walking a tightrope.
Therefore, it would be very difficult for Xia Qingqing and the other two women to obtain help from the Divine Calculator and the Primordial Gods again if they entered the Realm of Living Beings.
It's even highly likely that Xia Qingqing and the other two girls won't be coming back...
"There's no time..." Xia Qingqing simply shook her head.
Now, only the last four heavens of the Netherworld remain unconquered.
At the previous pace, even if they were to drag it out for hundreds of thousands of years, how much time would that be in the realm of living beings?
They analyzed that since Lin Yun was in the Realm of Living Beings, it would be meaningless to only buy him an hour or half an hour there.
Not to mention, they might not even be able to gain an hour or half an hour.
Conversely, if they returned to the Realm of Living Beings, even just buying Lin Yun an hour or half an hour would be more meaningful than their battle in the Netherworld.
“Otherwise, I will send some people to accompany the three mistresses to the Realm of Living Beings…” How could the Three-Eyed Emperor not know what Xia Qingqing was saying? He gritted his teeth and said.
If they hadn't withdrawn all the divine realms from the Netherworld, those divine realms from the living realm would probably have easily taken over the Netherworld. He even wanted all the divine realms from the Netherworld to go to the living realm.
Their main objectives were twofold: to buy time and to protect the Netherworld. If they lost the Netherworld, everything would be meaningless.
However, it is worth considering sending some of the Divine Realm Ghost Cultivators to accompany Xia Qingqing and the other two women to the Realm of Living Beings.
“No need. If we weaken one step, we will weaken the next. The departure of the three of us has already made it more difficult for you to resist. If we take some more ghost cultivators away, the Netherworld will be more likely to be defeated. What if, before we can delay in the Realm of Living Beings for long, the Netherworld is completely occupied by the Divine Realm of the Realm of Living Beings? What would be the point of us going to the Realm of Living Beings then?” Xia Qingqing shook her head and said.
"Um?"
Just then, the Three-Eyed Emperor suddenly received a message.
"Three mistresses, we have just received a message from the Divine Calculator of the Living Realm. You do not need to go to the Living Realm!" The Three-Eyed Emperor looked up at Xia Qingqing and the other two women and said.
"What?" Xia Qingqing frowned.
"Now, we have reached a critical moment in the attack on the Netherworld by the Divine Realm of the Living Beings. The acquired Divine Clan Dynasty of the Living Beings is also aware of this matter. They are no longer disturbed by anything in the Living Beings and are focused on conquering the Netherworld. It seems... they have also realized the importance of conquering the Netherworld and will deal with everything else after conquering the Netherworld! At this time, your journey to the Living Beings will only weaken the power of the Netherworld and will not have the effect of delaying time in the Living Beings! Therefore, Senior Divine Calculator advises the three of you not to go to the Living Beings!" The Three-Eyed Emperor said with a solemn expression.
This is not hard to understand.
Xia Qingqing and the other two women entered the realm of living beings with the intention of only delaying for three to five hours.
However, what are three or five hours compared to the Later God Dynasty?
Even if Xia Qingqing and her two companions were allowed to wreak havoc in the Great World of Living Beings for three to five hours, what could they possibly destroy?
After three to five hours, or at most a day and a half, they can take over the Netherworld and then free up their strength to deal with Xia Qingqing and the other two women!
If, during this time, Xia Qingqing and the other two women are unwilling to accept that they have remained unmoved and take the initiative to attack the main camp of the Houtian Divine Clan Dynasty... then that would be perfect, as they could concentrate their forces and capture Xia Qingqing and the other two women in an instant!
Therefore, under such circumstances, it would be meaningless for Xia Qingqing and the other two women to enter the realm of living beings again.
"Is that so..." Xia Qingqing and the other two women trembled, their hearts growing even heavier.
Thus, they were left with only one option: to fight to the death in the underworld.
"There is one more thing that the three mistresses need to decide..." At this moment, the Three-Eyed Emperor continued to hesitate.
"What is it?" Xia Qingqing frowned slightly.
Ultimately, they were cultivators from the living realm, and they did not have the same status as Lin Yun's previous life as the Blood Emperor of the Netherworld. They had not broken through the new heavens of the Netherworld. In addition, the great war between the Netherworld and the acquired divine dynasties of the living realm in recent years had always been commanded by the Three-Eyed Emperor.
Therefore, the gods in the Netherworld have a higher level of recognition for the Three-Eyed Emperor, even surpassing that of them.
In addition, they did not like to be in power, so they let the Three-Eyed Emperor handle many things on his own.
What made him say that was probably no ordinary matter.
"The message we just received also said that Senior Divine Calculator and the remaining innate gods plan to enter the Netherworld and join forces with us to fight against the God Realm of the Living Beings..." said the Three-Eyed Emperor.
In this critical battle situation, allowing powerful outsiders to enter the Netherworld is indeed no small matter.
"The Divine Calculator and the remaining innate gods are coming in?" Xia Qingqing's body trembled.
She knew the strength of the Divine Calculator; it was comparable to three to five peak-level God Realm experts working together. The remaining innate Gods, at the very least, were comparable to one or two peak-level God Realm experts working together, right? Or even stronger!
Even with the suppression of the Netherworld's laws, this is still a formidable force. If they were to enter the Netherworld and join forces with them...
Xia Qingqing was instantly smitten.
"Quick! Let them in!" Xia Qingqing immediately looked at the Three-Eyed Emperor and said with bright eyes.
"This..." The Three-Eyed Emperor was, after all, the supreme leader in command of this great battle. He knew that if this matter went wrong, it could lead to the complete collapse of their Netherworld. Naturally, he had considered this decision more carefully. Seeing Xia Qingqing agree so quickly, he hesitated.
“Three-Eyed Emperor, even if our situation gets worse, how much worse can it get?” Xia Qingqing said with a smile.
After a pause, Xia Qingqing continued, "Besides, I trust them!"
It took time for Xia Qingqing to come to believe them, thanks to the fortune teller's repeated actions and the current situation in the Netherworld.
Just as she said, how much worse can things get? If they get better, then the change will be huge!
"Do they have a way to get in? Or do I need to go and pick them up myself?" Xia Qingqing asked again before the Three-Eyed Emperor could answer.
"It would be best if the mistress went to meet them. Otherwise, they can come in, but it will take a long time..." This time, the Three-Eyed Emperor did not hesitate and said quickly.
"Okay, I'll go pick them up right away!" Without thinking too much, Xia Qingqing nodded immediately.
Originally, the Three-Eyed Emperor intended to bring Lin Mengmeng, Ziyun, and Xia Qingqing together, but Xia Qingqing refused.
The loss of three peak-level divine realm experts has a huge impact on the battle.
