[You guessed that if Bai He arrived too late, there were roughly two possible scenarios.]
[One option was to simply increase the fortune of the other nine, allowing them to quickly ascend to immortality, and then destroy them all at once.]
The second approach would be like some classic villains who don't eliminate the root of the problem, destroying the entire Yuantian Realm except for the ten Chosen Ones, and then kindly moving them into the universe.
Before leaving, he uttered these words: "Are you angry? Are you sad? I await your deaths. After you all become immortals, you may go to the Land of **, where I await your revenge!"
[It's also possible that they'll repeat the old plot, eliminating the chosen one who ascended to immortality first, making others believe that he provoked the calamity beast while he was out, and then re-establish the calamity power field...]
There are many possibilities, but you don't want to experience the unknown risks, so you simply repeat the path you've already taken.
You arrive at a relatively remote Yuan Tian Domain and look towards a valley. There, you see a person named Ge Hu.
“A completely new NPC, a character that has not appeared before.”
[He was someone you chose from some lower realm over 100 years ago—a corrupt official who had committed countless evils and was about to be executed.]
There's nothing special about him; you just happened to see him, so he's lucky, and you've decided to give him a great opportunity.
[Ge Hu exploited the people, murdered them, and seized their wives and daughters. He went too far and was imprisoned, facing execution.]
But just as he was eating his last meal before his execution, an unexpected incident occurred.
It can't be called an accident, because you orchestrated it all under your control.
[His teeth bit into a small animal bone in his last meal, causing his gums to bleed. The blood dripped onto the bone, completing the act of recognizing him as his master.]
Then the beast bone teleported him to a valley and displayed various information.
[Ge Hu learned about everything that had happened to him through the information implanted in his mind.]
"I unexpectedly triggered a blood oath, establishing a bond with a great being!"
"That inheritance transported me to this valley, saving me from my impending execution!"
"I will dedicate the rest of my time to diligent cultivation, passing all the trials and gradually absorbing all the inheritances until I become a 'Netherworld Exploration Apostle' before I can leave this place."
"stretch."
"I knew it."
The Path of Exploring the Divine Summoning System.
The great ancient god it connects to is the Lord of the Underworld.
[“According to the descriptions in the inheritance, the Apostles of the Netherworld will be an incredibly terrifying existence, capable of even shattering the earth…”]
"If I possessed such power, those so-called upright officials who judged me, and those troublemakers who denounced me... they would all die!"
"I'm going to become a top-ranking official!"
"No... at that time, even that old emperor will have to listen to me!"
This lineage not only provides a complete cultivation system, but also includes assessments based on different progress and stages, the distribution of ritual resources, and even various elixirs of enlightenment later on.
This allowed Ge Hu to advance to the peak of the fifth realm within a hundred years.
He wasn't simply cultivating; it wasn't that comfortable.
[Because you're not letting him just go through the motions in the evaluation.]
[What kind of feat is this, striking the Demon Orb three hundred times, enduring the destruction of six horses for the duration of an incense stick's burning...]
[Blindfolded, hearing blocked, three hundred burly men bombarded the area relentlessly.]
"Ge Hu, the great traitor."
[And so on, as his cultivation level increased, the intensity of the assessments also increased dramatically.]
[I even made you several tens of taels of silver!]
"I thought you were letting the big guy go for free, but it turns out you're charging him."
Now, he only needs a few more rituals to break through to the sixth realm.
[It's just that you raised the assessment requirements before, which has been preventing us from obtaining those few resources.]
Now that you feel the time is right, you naturally lower your standards and disguise yourself as a wise old man who inherits intelligent technology.
"Sigh, you really disappoint me. You haven't even completed that test yet. Well, for the sake of the smooth progress of the inheritance, I'll lower the difficulty for you."
[Ge Hu excitedly kowtowed repeatedly to you, thanking you, the spirit of the inheritance, for your mercy in reducing the difficulty for him.]
[However, in his heart, he was cursing. Those examiners were all inhuman, utterly humiliating. He vowed that even if he couldn't afford to offend the master of the inheritance in the future, he would still take revenge on you, the spirit of the inheritance, in every way possible!]
[Now, Ge Hu has been trapped in this valley for over a hundred years, and his strength has been steadily increasing, far exceeding his initial expectations. However, the total time he has spent receiving the inheritance has also exceeded his expectations.]
[For the past hundred years, he has experienced both excitement and torment. He was excited because once he was out, he could do whatever he wanted and commit all sorts of evil deeds; he was tormented by being trapped in this valley for a full century, which was longer than a human lifespan, three times the length of his previous lifespan.]
Thankfully, it's almost over. Everything is almost over!
He is finally about to fully inherit that legacy, become an invincible Apostle of the Netherworld, and leave this small, dilapidated valley as a place of inheritance!
In 3504, Ge Hu was about to condense his Dao Seal and advance to the sixth realm.
He had endured all sorts of torment in the previous assessments, and today he had finally reached the final moment.
Before the final ritual materials are given, you must perform several future premonitions.
[The Lord of the Netherworld, this ancient god, has a built-in mental pollution effect. You need to worry about one thing—after it arrives in the Primordial Heaven Realm, it might just glance down and 99% of the world's living beings become its fanatical followers.]
[The Primordial Heaven Realm was directly corrupted and reduced to the Netherworld.]
If its arrival will trigger such a tragedy, you have no choice but to stop it all, kill Ge Hu, and find another ancient god.
The dangers don't stop there.
[In the future, you might also be discovered by Bai He who arrives and killed on the spot, which would be too unfair.]
[If that's the case, then you'll need to wait until you've fully restored your Sacred Body and gained the power of time travel before you can have Ge Hu condense the Dao Seal.]
[In the future, you hide not far away, watching that man advance to the sixth realm, then be brainwashed by the Dao Seal system, fanatically chanting the name of the Lord of the Netherworld.]
The seed planted a century ago is finally about to bloom, and you exclaim with immense excitement, "Come on, Li!"
[...]
[After waiting a full ten minutes, you slap your forehead, realizing you'd forgotten that the Lord of the Netherworld also needed time to pass through the cosmic membrane.]
There's still a long way to go before we reach that future.
