Chapter 450 Waiting for you to stand guard together
Power makes people obsessed and crazy.
Those who have experienced the benefits of power rarely give it up easily.
This is especially true for a hegemon standing at the top of the world.
Tianque Holy Land, Hongmeng Taoist Palace, Jiyin Jiyang Family, Xuanyuan Family, Xuandu, North and South Demon God Palaces, and Shenwu Immortal Palace.
When the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were first established, the eight overlords each ruled a part of the world and made great contributions to the stability of this new world.
But at the same time, their strength and ambition are also booming.
After standing at the top for too long, how could you be willing to be inferior to others?
When Ye Huang and his men proposed to integrate the nine heavens and ten earths and make a unified and standardized management, except for Xuandu and Shenwu Xianfu, the two forces that already had an irreconcilable relationship with Yunxiao Heaven, the other six overlords all showed obvious resistance.
Although they are nominally under the heavens, if they are truly under the fundamental jurisdiction of the heavens, then their core interests will be affected.
Hundreds of heated discussions and various proposals ended in failure.
The increasing number of disputes and contradictions have made the distance between the world hegemon and the heavens grow farther and farther, and the possibility of reaching a consensus has become very slim.
Just when everyone was at a loss, someone took a different approach and came up with a bold idea.
"The dark side of the world?"
Ye Suifeng frowned slightly.
Shenwu nodded: "To put it bluntly, it is actually the legendary underworld and the six realms of reincarnation."
"After hundreds of years of discussion and research, we have discovered that in addition to the explosive development of all spirits, there is another very important factor that can have an impact on the world."
"Dead souls."
Ye Suifeng suddenly understood.
In this world, after a living being dies, the soul will slowly dissipate between heaven and earth.
It is said to be dissipated, but in fact it is broken down by the laws of nature.
The more powerful the soul, the slower it decomposes.
Take the Immortal Emperor as an example. After the death of an Immortal Emperor, if his soul dissipates naturally, it will take at least hundreds of years.
However, with the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths having developed to their peak, there would probably be a large number of new Immortal Emperors every day, as well as a large number of Immortal Emperors who died for various reasons.
Their dead souls, like a stone, affect the laws between heaven and earth and consume the energy of heaven.
As time goes by, it will place an increasing burden on the Way of Heaven.
If we could really create a complete underworld and the six realms of reincarnation, then at least this part of the problem would be solved, and the way of heaven would be much easier, leaving more time for further evolution.
Moreover, with reincarnation, the heaven and earth will be more complete, with yin and yang balanced. It will be a win-win situation for both the way of heaven and living beings.
"With your knowledge, I think you already know the secret."
Shenwu smiled and said, "After this idea was proposed, it was quickly recognized by others."
“Because it’s a more perfect solution.”
"The only problem is that the dark side of the world requires half of the nine heavens and ten earths to serve as the soil for cultivating the underworld."
"After all, we are not the God of Creation, nor are we like you, who can create a brand new world out of thin air."
Shenwu sighed and looked somewhat helpless as he spoke.
"But this brings us back to the previous question: who can give up their status and land to cultivate the underworld?"
"Even if Master Xuan and I, and even the Cloud Realm, took the initiative to take on half of the underworld, no one would be willing to join voluntarily."
"After several discussions and consultations, nothing was achieved and in the end, everyone left unhappily."
After listening to this, Ye Suifeng also sighed in his heart.
Yes, they don’t even want to give up an ounce of their rights, so how could they possibly give up everything they have?
Without strong intervention, the issue will probably continue forever.
"So Ye Huang killed them?"
Ye Suifeng asked.
Shenwu shook his head, but quickly nodded and said, "After the negotiations reached a deadlock, Ye Huang and his team did not take action, but put the issue aside for the time being and remained silent for nearly a hundred years."
"But I think they already had the idea of eliminating the world's hegemon at that time."
"One of the reasons why we didn't take action is that the world's hegemons have made great contributions to the problems of the nine heavens and ten earths."
"Secondly, after thousands of years of accumulation, their overall strength is also very strong. Even if there is no master-level strongman, it is not an existence that can be easily defeated. If a fight breaks out, the world may be the first to be destroyed."
Shenwu took another sip of tea and said leisurely, "A lot of things happened during those hundred years."
"The dream world has been completely constructed, and Ye Xiaoxiao and her sister have officially come out of seclusion."
"The Tianxia Academy has moved to the heavens, and its branches have developed explosively in the nine heavens and ten earths."
"Gu Youlan's Heavenly Library has also been officially completed, accommodating everything in the world."
"Then, the Shenwu Immortal Mansion moved into the Yunxiao Realm, and Xuandu and Yunxiao's local forces united to take over my previous world."
"In the Ye family, Ye Suiyun officially handed over the position of the head of the family to Ye Long. The new head of the family, Ye Long, has traveled between various worlds many times, trying to get everyone back to the negotiation table."
"Ye Huang, with the Shenfeng clan, once again traveled through the chaos of the universe, trying to find another solution."
"Everything seems very peaceful."
"But no one expected that when Ye Huang returned from the chaos for the last time, the biggest change since the formation of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths happened in an instant."
Ye Suifeng took a deep breath.
From Shenwu's narration, he had basically figured out the matter.
"During those hundred years, Ye Huang and his team should have been accumulating strength and making final preparations."
Shenwu smiled immediately.
“I think so.”
"The world's hegemons are not so easily destroyed. They have accumulated a foundation of millions of years, which is too deep."
"Although I was not involved in that incident, Xiao Hei later told me what happened at that time."
"When Ye Huang swung that terrifying sword, the Taoist Jiyang, the Goddess Jiyin, the leader of the Tianxia Tongshang Association, and the Dragon God, four people at the top of the Dao, were assassinated by Ye Xiaoxiao at the same time."
"At the same time, Ye Qinyu attacked in the chaos and sealed off all their resources."
"Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai disrupted the laws of their world, preventing them from even displaying 20% of their true strength."
"As for Ye Long, Ye Qian, and Gu Youlan, they all have their own missions, but I'm not particularly clear about them."
"So the destruction of the overlords was actually the result of the joint efforts of everyone."
After listening to it, Ye Suifeng was in a daze, with waves of emotions rising in his heart.
It turns out that except for Ye Huang and Ye Long, everyone else participated. These children have put in so much effort for the future of the nine heavens and ten earths.
"Brother."
Shenwu smiled like an auntie and said, "I can see that you are worried about them, but there is no need to worry."
"They have all truly grown up, and are working together for the sake of the nine heavens and ten earths."
“And it’s done very, very well.”
"So, we just need to be at peace and take care of ourselves."
As he spoke, Shenwu's eyes suddenly turned and he said with a smile: "By the way, your little cook has been waiting for you."
"I think this matter is more important to you than the matters in the nine heavens and ten earths."
Ye Suifeng looked at Shenwu without answering or denying.
After a long time, he suddenly stood up.
"Okay, I'll go find her then."
Shenwu was stunned for a moment, staring and asked, "So straightforward?"
Ye Suifeng shrugged.
"You said it, this matter is more important."
Having said that, he turned around and walked away.
But in fact, he did not completely agree with Shenwu's statement.
Why did Ye Huang have to bear the curse and become a synonym for public fear? There must be something behind this question that Shenwu didn't know.
Gu Youlan, you should know.
Besides, it's time to say goodbye to her.
Ye Suifeng walked farther and farther away, and heard Shenwu's shouting from behind him.
"Brother."
"Then I'll wait for you to stand with me!"
