Self-destruct!
A complete and utter self-destruction!
All life energy was annihilated!
The power it unleashes is also terrifying!
Among the nearby peak-level gods of the acquired god-race dynasty, many were seriously injured, and one unlucky peak-level god even perished!
"Brother Hua!" A powerful figure who had a good relationship with that peak divine realm expert teleported to the location where the other had fallen and cried out in grief.
"Dead?"
"They're dead?"
"That Three-Eyed Emperor also self-destructed?"
Many of the peak-level gods of the acquired divine dynasties were incredulous.
Whew! Whew! Whew!
At this moment, one after another, the peak divine realm beings who hadn't had time to arrive arrived. They had all received the news of the self-destruction and demise of the group of peak divine realm beings from the Netherworld. Looking at the aftershocks before them, they were all surprised or had complicated expressions.
Not everyone present was a member of the Acquired God Clan; there were also some powerful members of the Innate God Clan who had surrendered to the Acquired God Clan Dynasty after the defeat of the Innate God Clan, including the Azure Lotus God Lord.
At this moment, their feelings were very complicated.
If they had previously doubted the thoughts of these peak-level divine realm ghost cultivators, the motives of these top experts from the Netherworld, and their loyalty to Lin Yun, the former Crown Prince of the Innate Divine Clan Dynasty.
At this moment, all these speculations faded from their minds.
The decisiveness of these peak-level ghost cultivators from the Netherworld exceeded their expectations.
"Could it be that their constant conquest of the Great World of Living Beings is truly just for revenge for His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"These ghost cultivators should just be subordinates subdued by His Highness the Crown Prince. It's astonishing that they've gone to such lengths for him. And back then, His Highness covered their retreat..."
"It seems there was a reason why His Highness the Crown Prince was willing to cover their retreat back then. Their loyalty to His Highness the Crown Prince is unmatched by ordinary experts..."
"These ghost cultivators, even after His Highness the Crown Prince's fall, were still able to fight repeatedly for him against the Later Heaven God Clan Dynasty. Moreover, after being surrounded, they decisively self-destructed... We, as members of the Innate God Clan, chose to submit to the Later Heaven God Clan Dynasty..."
Some of the top experts of the innate god race had mixed feelings, and many felt ashamed.
The Azure Lotus God frowned slightly.
Unlike some of the top experts from the innate and acquired god races, he was among the first group of experts to arrive.
He witnessed firsthand the self-destruction of those peak-level divine realm experts from the Netherworld.
Naturally, he also heard some of what the other party said.
They know absolutely nothing about the underworld?
They thought...they had won?
The Azure Lotus Divine Lord sensed that they had overlooked something, and that this issue was extremely important.
Just then, the Divine Emperor Huo Yi also teleported here, watching the aftershocks of the scene, remaining silent for a long time.
“Your Majesty, I feel that this matter is not so simple…” Just then, a peak Divine Realm expert stepped forward and said hesitantly.
Not only did the Azure Lotus Divine Lord sense something was amiss, but none of the powerful figures present were fools. Some of them even voiced their doubts, and at that moment, this peak-level divine being voiced the questions that had been swirling in their minds.
"Um?"
Upon hearing the words of this peak divine realm expert, the other peak divine realm experts were also moved. Even some who hadn't realized something was wrong before now realized that something was amiss, and they all looked towards that peak divine realm expert or the divine emperor Huo Yi.
"Of course it's not simple." Emperor Huo Yi glanced at everyone and said slowly.
"I only just received this news because it hadn't spread widely in the Netherworld before. You should all know what the Netherworld is like! In the Great World of Living Beings, whether it's within a small universe, a large universe, or anywhere in the Great World of Living Beings, after a being falls, their souls will mostly enter the Netherworld for reincarnation! What if those Netherworld God-level Ghost Cultivators also appear in the Netherworld after they fall?" After a moment, God Emperor Huo Yi continued slowly.
"Your Majesty means they can enter the Netherworld and be resurrected?" A peak-level god-realm expert exclaimed in shock.
"What?"
"No way?"
"Is this really true?"
"They are gods!"
"If that's the case, wouldn't they be able to resurrect indefinitely?"
Many peak-level divine beings were shocked.
How can we fight like this?
If they cannot enter the Netherworld and quickly annihilate those powerful ghost cultivators there, then those god-level ghost cultivators in the Netherworld will be virtually invincible!
They're dead and can't be resurrected! But the enemy can keep resurrecting after they die—how can we fight them?
“Indeed, I have found some ghost cultivators in the Netherworld who are at the God Realm level and obtained confirmation. They were previously killed by the God Realm of our dynasty, but they have been resurrected!” God Emperor Huo Yi nodded slightly and said.
"The Netherworld... it actually possesses such power?"
"I understand now, I understand why they said those things before they self-destructed..."
"I understand now. This is the strongest point of the Netherworld. They probably really have the ability to resurrect in the Netherworld. No wonder they dared to self-destruct so decisively!"
"Even if we kill them, they can still be resurrected in the Netherworld. Doesn't that mean we've been doing all this for nothing?"
The powerful figures from the acquired divine dynasties looked grim, their voices filled with shock and bitterness.
"This news is indeed not good news, but everyone doesn't need to be too pessimistic!" Emperor Huo Yi shook his head slightly and said.
"Actually, we should have known this long ago. Unlike the innate gods, most of us acquired gods rose from ordinary beings step by step. In order to gain opportunities, we have traveled to many places in the Great World of Beings. We have experienced countless joys and sorrows, and many powerful beings have also dealt with the Netherworld! Before breaking through to the God Realm, many powerful beings have entered the Netherworld!" After a pause, God Emperor Huo Yi continued.
"That's right, I have been to the Netherworld. At that time, I was still at the Saint King level..."
"I also entered the Netherworld. At that time, I was at the Saintly King level. I was searching for the souls of my parents, relatives, and friends. However, we powerful beings are too conspicuous in the Netherworld, making us easy targets for discovery and hunting. Moreover, we beings are subjected to too much suppression in the Netherworld, and our exploration abilities are extremely limited. Although I entered the Netherworld's Reincarnation Zone, I did not find the souls of my parents, relatives, and friends, and I came out..."
"I have also entered the Netherworld. The Netherworld has a reincarnation space that can indeed attract the souls of fallen beings from all over the living world..."
Several powerful figures from the acquired divine dynasties nodded in agreement.
"Back then, I also entered the Netherworld and knew about the Netherworld's Reincarnation Grounds. I also knew how difficult it was to find a soul there. I never expected that after those Netherworld Gods fell, their souls would return to the Netherworld's Reincarnation Grounds and be easily retrieved. After all, this ability is too heaven-defying..." God Emperor Huo Yi nodded slightly and said.
"However, in any case, we have to admit that they have indeed done it; many fallen Netherworld Gods have been resurrected!" After a pause, God Emperor Huo Yi continued.
"However, it's not without its limitations. I've investigated this matter carefully. The souls of fallen beings, after entering the Netherworld's Reincarnation Grounds, will revert to their initial state, becoming extremely weak. Ghost cultivators are divided into acquired and innate types, and the acquired ghost cultivators of the Netherworld arise from this... Innate ghost cultivators can cultivate to the God Realm through their own practice... Acquired ghost cultivators, however, cannot break through to the God Realm through their own practice; they can only do so by refining a divine spark..."
"In other words, they must have enough corresponding divine sparks to restore their original strength; otherwise, they will have to cultivate again step by step... Acquired ghost cultivators cannot naturally cultivate to the divine realm, so the lack of a master divine spark is something they cannot bypass!"
"Thinking about it this way, the ghost cultivators in the Netherworld don't have much of an advantage over us anymore. Because if we obtain a Godhead without a master, we can quickly cultivate new Godheads. In fact, if they use the same group of people to cultivate to the point of being qualified to use a Godhead, it will still take them some time. Among us, the descendants of the acquired God race, countless ordinary cultivators have reached the peak Saint King realm, and countless peak Saint Kings are willing to line up to refine a Godhead and achieve Godhood!"
"Similarly, even without a superior or supreme divine spark, they still need to rely on innate ghost cultivation to gradually cultivate to the superior divine realm and the peak divine realm. There's nothing special about it!"
The Divine Emperor Huo Yi looked at everyone and spoke slowly.
"Well, if that's the case, then the Netherworld God Realm really doesn't have much of an advantage over us anymore!"
"So that's how it is! That really startled me. I really thought they were invincible!"
"Indeed, especially since time flows extremely fast in the Netherworld. If acquired ghost cultivators can naturally cultivate to the Divine Realm, and they regain their original memories and strength, it will be a piece of cake..."
"It seems that Heaven will not allow such a heaven-defying thing to happen!"
Some powerful figures from the acquired divine dynasties nodded in agreement, and most of them breathed a sigh of relief.
“You’ve probably overlooked something!” Just then, a peak-level Divine Realm expert said quietly.
"Um?"
"What is it?"
Many powerful figures turned their heads to look.
"After those Netherworld Gods fall, their souls can return to the Netherworld to be resurrected. What about us, the Gods of the Living Realm, after we fall? Will our souls enter the Netherworld's cycle of reincarnation? If so, after we fall, our souls will enter the Netherworld, and we will become fish on a chopping board..." The peak God said slowly.
"That's one reason! Secondly, once our souls enter the Netherworld, wouldn't they be able to obtain any information they want from us? I think their extensive knowledge of our dynasty is largely due to this!" The peak-level divine being continued.
"Our souls have entered the underworld..."
"Information was obtained from the souls of those who fell from grace in our realm of gods..."
Upon hearing this phrase "peak divine realm," many powerful figures' expressions changed, and they all took a deep breath.
Normally, they might not have taken such a thing to heart. Those present were either at the peak of the Divine Realm or extremely powerful Upper-Level Divine Realm beings, each one of the most outstanding existences in the world.
Without a major, earth-shattering battle, the likelihood of them perishing is extremely small.
But now, they have to take this issue seriously.
Recently, the Netherworld God Realm went to war with their dynasty, and many of their dynasty's peak God Realm experts have fallen, including some very powerful high-level peak God Realm experts.
Among them, how many powerful individuals surpass the strength of a high-level peak god?
Although, now, the peak divine realm of the Netherworld has been almost crippled by them.
But who can be sure that there are other hidden forces in the Netherworld?
In particular, time flows extremely fast in the Netherworld. As the saying goes, "the longer the night, the more dreams," and as long as they haven't completely conquered the Netherworld, anything could happen.
If they also perish, wouldn't that mean their souls are not safe either?
"In that case, if we don't enter the cycle of reincarnation, we'll probably become acquired ghost cultivators, and wouldn't we be on the side of the ghost cultivators in the Netherworld?"
"Ghost cultivators and living beings are naturally opposed! Former enemies have become allies? Allies have become enemies?"
Some powerful figures, upon realizing this, wore strange expressions, feeling utterly humiliated.
If that's the case, then what does their current behavior mean?
Some of the powerful immediately began to whisper among themselves.
It's really hard to say in this situation.
If they truly become acquired ghost cultivators, then they can no longer choose which side to stand on. If they continue to support the acquired divine dynasty, and the ghost cultivators of the Netherworld are wiped out, what good will come of it for them, who are also ghost cultivators?
"Everyone, don't worry about this issue. The Netherworld shares similarities with the trend of our acquired gods. Now, it's almost certain that the Netherworld is a great world comparable to the Great World of Living Beings, in opposition to it. The Great World of Living Beings is generally Yang, while the Netherworld is Yin. No matter which one is missing, this world is incomplete!" At this moment, God Emperor Huo Yi slightly raised his hand to stop everyone's discussion and slowly said.
"The Netherworld becoming a part of this world is an inevitable trend that no one can stop, just as our acquired divine race is destined to rise, which the innate divine dynasty could not stop. However, the unification of all realms is also an inevitable trend. In the end, whether the Netherworld will become the master of the entire world or the Great World of Living Beings will become the master of the entire world is still uncertain!"
"If we, the living beings, become the rulers, then the Netherworld will inevitably need to be managed as well. The powerful beings of the living beings are naturally antagonistic to the Netherworld, so it is inevitable that powerful ghost cultivators will manage the Netherworld. Therefore, even if any of you become ghost cultivators and do not wish to reincarnate, you and the Dynasty are not absolutely opposed. So, you do not need to worry about this issue. Whether you are living beings or ghost cultivators, you are all members of the Dynasty!"
"God Emperor Huo Yi said calmly."
"Forehead……"
"Your Majesty is right..."
"Moreover, the peak-level ghost cultivators of the Netherworld have already been crippled by us, and it won't be easy for them to recover. Once we successfully cultivate that magic weapon, it will be the time when the higher-ups of the Netherworld are wiped out. We are not weak, so the probability of us perishing under these circumstances is extremely small..."
"Even if we become ghost cultivators, as long as the dynasty unifies all realms, we can still become top experts in the Netherworld. Perhaps, we can even..."
Some powerful figures nodded thoughtfully, while others, for reasons unknown, were somewhat tempted.
The flow of time in the Netherworld is incredibly fast. If they could become top experts in the Netherworld, and with unlimited time, the future would be unpredictable.
