On the other side, Duanmu Xin had just returned to the Demon Suppression Temple with a portion of the Nine-Leaf Lotus of Purification. He immediately put away both the Nine-Leaf Lotus and the Demon Suppression Temple. In his hand, there were also four miniature buildings, roughly the same size as the Demon Suppression Temple, floating obediently in his palm.
These are the vanished Forbidden Land of the Underworld, the Black Demon Abyss, the Temple of the Demon God, and the Secret Land of the Skeletons.
The reason why Ye Sisi's purifying power is needed to cleanse the wronged souls inside is not only because the souls of most powerful beings have been corrupted by the power of world destruction, but also because of the backlash from the Great Dao of the World.
If it weren't for the Hall of Rebirth protecting their souls from perishment, they wouldn't have survived until now. Just like the wronged souls in the Forbidden Land of the Underworld, the reason why the number of wronged souls there has always been 99,999, never decreasing by even one or two in ten thousand years, is because they are constantly repaying the karma they owe to this world by being killed.
However, the souls in the Forbidden Land of the Underworld are in better condition, at least they have not been corrupted by the power of world destruction. They are just confused because they have been tainted by too much blood and evil energy, and the backlash of cause and effect has made them lose their minds.
The situation in the other secret locations was worse, but it was still okay, Ye Sisi's cultivation improved very quickly, and there was still time for everything.
Now that the world has been destroyed and returned to the Netherworld, the Palace of Rebirth, which was divided into five parts, should also return to its original state. It is time for those powerful beings who once sacrificed their lives for this world to return.
The next moment, the five miniature buildings, including the Demon-Suppressing Temple, were perfectly assembled, and the Hall of Rebirth, one of the Seven Divine Artifacts of the Outer Heavens, was thus completed.
Having finished everything, Duanmu Xin smiled with relief. Some things had dragged on for too long; it was time to end them.
He gently tossed the perfectly sealed and seemingly divine Rebirth Hall into the void, causing ripples in the space before it quickly disappeared.
His figure disappeared before the spatial ripples subsided.
Ye Sisi finally found Su Jiuli. She didn't know how many creatures she had killed along the way. Fortunately, none of the creatures she encountered were very strong, at least none of them had a higher cultivation level than her.
She couldn't seem to help in the current situation. She was barely able to keep her balance even from the outside. She thought that she was already very strong after undergoing tribulation, but it turned out that she was still too weak.
No, she had to think of a way to help her senior brother. Otherwise, no matter how strong he was, he would eventually be defeated when surrounded by so many people.
But what could she do? All the preparations she had made were useless in the face of the current situation, unless Wuyou was brought out instead.
Just then, Su Jiuli's voice rang in her mind: "Junior Sister, find a place to hide, I'll take you away in a bit."
Ye Sisi hesitated for a moment but still obediently did as she was told. She had to trust her senior brother. If all else failed, she would switch to Wuyou. After all, there were too many variables, and she couldn't control them.
As things quieted down, Ye Sisi also sensed something was amiss. She had previously felt that entering the core of the Nine Netherworld was somewhat coincidental, since Su Jiuli had just left them and then happened to be teleported into the core of the Nine Netherworld. Now, she was swaggering around in the Nine Netherworld, and Duanmu Xin had somehow managed to take that part of the Pure World Nine Leaf Lotus away from the Nine Netherworld, yet they were not pursued by the Nine Netherworld experts. On the contrary, Su Jiuli was being besieged by so many Nine Netherworld experts.
Even if she were stupid, she could figure it out: Jiuyou's purpose this time wasn't her at all, and they didn't even care whether or not they took the Nine-Leaf Lotus of Purification. Their real target was Su Jiuli.
But why is that? She is the one most deeply involved with the gods. Wouldn't killing her be the most effective way? Could it be because of the Heavenly Path and the Ascension Platform? But shouldn't Duanmu Xin have been spared as well? With Duanmu Xin's abilities, rebuilding the Heavenly Path and the Ascension Platform wouldn't be difficult, but they didn't do so. There's only one possibility: only Su Jiuli can rebuild the Heavenly Path and the Ascension Platform.
Or to put it another way, only Su Jiuli could build the Heavenly Path and Ascension Platform that could help her complete the Divine Path.
Therefore, the one Jiuyou invited this time was not her, but her senior brother.
Just like with the Gu Clan last time, they created a secret spatial realm that only Su Jiuli could discover, using the lives of countless cultivators who could potentially cause chaos in the Spirit Realm as bait to force his senior brother to solve the problem of the Life and Death Gu. That time, the World Destroyer sent one of her clones, namely the white lotus heroine Ye Susu and those unscrupulous parents.
This time, Jiuyou went even further, directly using the damage to Jiuyou's core, a portion of Wuyou's original body, and their divine paths as bait to force Su Jiuli to come to Jiuyou to die.
She should have realized it sooner. When they met Duanmu Xin at the Demon Suppression Temple, he had hinted at it. His words, "You don't have to go, but she has to go," were actually a hint to her senior brother. However, she had fallen into a mental trap and convinced herself that the Nine Netherworld Ruler wanted to eliminate her.
Come to think of it, even if her cultivation is still weak, she does share a body with Wuyou. As long as Wuyou doesn't want to, it's not so easy for the other rulers and gods to kill her. On the contrary, it would be much easier to kill Su Jiuli, who is closely related to her path to godhood.
But it was too late for her to understand all this now. Seeing the battle growing increasingly intense, Ye Sisi forced herself to calm down and sank her consciousness deep into her mind, saying, "Wuyou, Wuyou..."
As expected, there was no response. She closed her eyes and stood there for a while before opening them and whispering, "Senior Brother."
After a long silence, she smiled and said, "Wuyou, are you sure you don't want to talk to me?"
There was still no response. Although they didn't know the exact situation of the battle, they figured it couldn't be too bad. No matter how strong their senior brother was, he was still just one person, and this place was the chaotic Nine Netherworld. They had to leave as soon as possible.
Since Wuyou is unwilling to take action, then don't blame her for going crazy.
Ye Sisi has never been a procrastinator; once she has an idea, she will execute it immediately.
She frantically stuck speed-up and teleportation talismans all over herself, then chose a direction and charged straight into the battlefield.
That's right, she didn't take any defensive measures. Given the situation on the battlefield, she would have been half-dead from the aftershocks before she even got close to Su Jiuli. She was risking her life to force Wuyou to make a move.
"You're a madman."
The moment she rushed out, she heard that voice. It was Wuyou's, and it sounded like she was furious.
In this Netherworld filled with killing, darkness, and violence, Ye Sisi smiled, a smile that could topple kingdoms. She had won her gamble again. She couldn't always be the one being schemed against; she understood the principle of reciprocity.
