Phantom Island, Island Lord's Mansion.
"That's the specific process, Your Majesty."
Death respectfully reported the process in detail, and presented a slightly smaller fragment of the ancient underworld.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Jiang Yan took the fragments and asked, "Did you bring the bodies back?"
"Of course, Your Majesty, these are all top-quality materials for warriors, we can't let them go to waste."
"I trust you to handle things."
Jiang Yan smiled slightly and turned his gaze to the two people beside him: "Satan, Iberias, how are things on your end?"
Coincidentally, these three supreme beings from the undead realm returned almost simultaneously after completing their missions.
"I came across a maze-like ruin, it was quite impressive, I walked around for ages and still couldn't find my way out."
Satan grinned and said, "But then I realized, why follow the passage? I just need to pinpoint the location of the ancient Netherworld fragment and smash my way through."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and fragments and a pile of treasures rained down from the sky. He said with some regret:
"Unfortunately, the entire ruins were too complex, and there were still some treasures we couldn't obtain."
"Well done."
Jiang Yan glanced at them and stored the fragments and treasures into his divine kingdom. These pieces of equipment, which could remain intact despite the erosion of countless eras of destructive power, were at least top-tier legendary enchanted items with at least fifteen layers of enchantment, making them perfect for arming elite squads.
"Hehe, I'm different, Your Majesty."
Iberis, who was standing to the side, took a few steps back, and his body began to swell rapidly.
Then it opened its giant mouth and spat out a mouthful of treasures, which quickly piled up into a dazzling mountain.
However, most of the treasures had some sticky liquid on their surface, which made them look rather unsightly.
"I used the power of the Abyss-Suppressing Beast to swallow the entire ruins. I digested most of the useless things directly, and what's left are the good things that are barely worth looking at."
Iberis said with a smug look on his face.
"Fortunately, the death energy inherent in the fragments of the Netherworld can isolate these things."
Jiang Yan shook his head slightly, waved his hand to retrieve the fragments, and said calmly, "Keep the rest of these and use them to arm the elite Bone Dragon Knight Legion later."
"In addition, the three of you, along with the existing manpower, should help Anubis reach friendly agreements with the various forces in the Desolate Lands as soon as possible, so that they can serve the Holy Spirit City wholeheartedly."
Jiang Yan glanced at the three of them and said in a deep voice, "Time is of the essence, and there is no time for much rest. I hope you will all do your best."
"That is only right, Your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, the three Death Gods immediately bowed and accepted the order: "We will set off immediately."
"Thank you all for your hard work."
Jiang Yan nodded, and after watching them leave, he called to the person beside him, "Anna, I need to continue my seclusion. If there are any important matters during this time, I will leave them to you to handle."
"Rest assured, Holy Lord."
Anna readily accepted the order and walked to the entrance of Jiang Yan's Divine Kingdom, activating her domain to prevent even the slightest noise from passing through.
For her, the most important thing was, of course, to ensure the safety of the Holy Lord and that he was not disturbed.
On the other side, Jiang Yan arrived above the Pool of Reincarnation with three newly acquired fragments of the Netherworld.
"I wonder if these fragments contain any other memory segments, and how exactly the senior managed to make that woman become the Holy Lord of Light."
A strong sense of curiosity flashed in Jiang Yan's eyes. Without hesitation, he activated his divine power and repeated the previous fusion steps.
After a familiar feeling, countless fragments and images rushed into my mind again.
......
This is an infinitely majestic divine realm, where the radiance of hundreds of laws condenses into a tangible form, illuminating the towering peaks.
A powerful deity floats atop each mountain peak.
They were surrounded by laws, obscuring their faces, but their majestic aura, as vast as the sun and moon, proclaimed their identities—the gods of various pantheons of laws.
The central mountain peak was enveloped in abundant holy light, and the other laws seemed to submit to it.
"Where is this place? Did the Holy Light pantheon and other pantheons ever live in such harmony?"
Jiang Yan stared in surprise at the scene that appeared on the screen.
At that moment, a faint voice rang out from one of the mountain peaks.
"The great and merciful Lord of Light, at the very bottom of all realms, an unprecedented being has appeared. It is filled with negativity and hatred for the world, a force completely opposite to all realms. I have seen a future timeline, a catastrophe for the world, which will destroy everything and annihilate all living beings. We must take immediate action while it is still weak."
“Great God, I, the God of Fire, am willing to go personally to suppress this calamity and burn all threats to ashes in my flames.”
"My Lord, I, the Wind God, am willing to go. I will lead the void storm that destroys everything and tear apart the source of chaos."
"My Lord, I, the God of Space, am willing to go..."
A majestic voice echoed from the mountain peaks, as various deities vied to request permission to serve.
"Could that unprecedented existence refer to the Abyss? Strange... Were all the god lords of that era so brave?"
Jiang Yan's surprise grew even greater. Why did he later become a deserter who fled at the first sign of trouble?
With his current knowledge, he could naturally see that these gods spoke with righteous indignation, and that their words came from the bottom of their hearts.
"This matter is not simple."
A gentle voice rang out from the central mountain peak, like a spring breeze and drizzle that nourishes all things, and the crowd of gods who had been vying for supplication immediately fell silent.
“It arose because of us, grew stronger because of the injustices of the world, and is perpetually renewed because of the imperfections in the laws. Even if we destroy it, it will rise again and again, stronger than ever.”
"My Lord, what do you mean?"
The gods clearly held the Holy Light Lord in high esteem, and after he spoke, they had no further objections, each respectfully seeking instructions.
“I have heard that in ancient mythology there was a supreme being named ‘Ksitigarbha’. He once made a great vow: ‘I will not become a Buddha until hell is empty.’ As the Lord of Holy Light and the leader of the pantheon of gods, I enjoy the offerings of believers from all worlds. In this time of crisis, I naturally have an inescapable responsibility.”
"I wish to emulate the sages of the past and personally go to the very bottom of all worlds to illuminate the gloom with my holy light. Even if it takes thousands of years, hundreds of millions of years, and endless eras, until it is completely purified."
"My Lord, no! I am skilled in the laws of water, which can benefit all things. I am willing to go and oversee things in your stead!"
"My Lord, I am skilled in music and can soothe all injustices. I am willing to go with you!"
“...”
"My mind is made up."
The calm voice rang out again, gentle yet carrying an undeniable air of authority.
"I do not know when we will return. The four supreme beings of Heaven must remain in the Land of Laws to guard against any eventuality. I wish to select a talented person from among the various realms to temporarily handle my daily affairs and oversee all realms. I hope you will assist me diligently and not slacken your efforts."
Seeing that the Lord of Holy Light had made his decision, the gods said no more and echoed his sentiments:
"We will obey the divine decree."
