Chapter 678 The Surge of Faith! Arrival in the Netherworld
"The protection of Emperor You?"
Qin Ming frowned slightly, sensing the underlying meaning in the words of the Time-Space Old Demon.
"That's right."
The Time-Space Old Demon nodded, his expression growing increasingly solemn. "All life in the Netherworld contains an extremely thin trace of the bloodline of the Primordial Chaos Life."
Therefore, each of them is extremely powerful; even newborn infants are at the level of Void True Gods. Adults are at least at the level of Eternal True Gods, and there are countless Chaos Rulers and God Kings.
But compared to the 'demon', it's still too weak!
The "demons" are the true masters of that world, because they were born directly from the corpse of that world-class chaotic life form; they are born chaotic life forms.
Not only are they numerous, but they are also extremely difficult to kill completely. Even if their physical bodies are destroyed and their souls shattered, they will soon reassemble in some corner of the Netherworld.
"Infinite space?"
Qin Ming seemed to be deep in thought.
He had actually seen similar lives before.
In the infinite space, one way to gain reward points is by hunting mind-life forms.
He even saw a being called "Demon" among them.
It was a being that existed between reality and illusion, with eight enormous tentacles, resembling a giant octopus, and a single eye.
This kind of life form excels at eroding the mind.
"That's right. It's somewhat similar to the spiritual life in infinite space. This is the rule of the Netherworld itself. Unless one's spiritual will reaches the level of a God Emperor, one can obliterate it with one's spiritual will."
Otherwise, it would be very difficult to kill it completely.
"The Old Demon of Time and Space said respectfully."
"It seems that the Netherworld is itself a huge 'breeding ground' for venomous insects."
Qin Ming sighed.
From the intelligence gathered by the Flame Wind Ancestor and the Time-Space Old Demon, Qin Ming knew very well that the living conditions in the billions of worlds were much harsher than those in the Origin World!
Perhaps it's because the refining process wasn't perfect enough.
Perhaps it was intentional.
"The Great Emperor is indeed astute," the Old Demon of Time and Space exclaimed in admiration. "Exactly. Those beings in the Netherworld who possess innate Primal Chaos Bloodline have been growing up in the struggle against 'demons' since the moment of their birth."
The weak are eliminated, and the strong survive.
And the strong who survive will then give birth to even stronger offspring.
"The Nether Emperor, the Blood Ancestor, the Bone Emperor, and more than a dozen other God Emperors all emerged from this brutal battle. Although they all followed the path of bloodline, their strength was beyond doubt."
Especially Emperor You!
His strength is renowned even within the Dark Holy Realm.
Qin Ming leaned back on the throne, closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.
Yuan created countless billions of worlds, partly to cultivate more powerful cultivators, and partly as a testing ground.
From the snippets of conversation with Yuan and other lords, as well as some information from the original timeline, Qin Ming actually knew that Yuan had always wanted to create a perfect Origin World.
I want to raise a lord in my own way!
In the infinitely distant future, Yuan did indeed succeed!
Using the remains of several naturally born Primordial Ancestors as core materials, a special world called "World Heart Continent" was created, which was then used to attract many top geniuses from the cultivator camp.
In the end, he actually cultivated the first Soul Path Lord in the Infinite Chaos Space, and also the ninth Lord in the Infinite Chaos Space—Dongbo Xueying!
The Demon Realm was clearly a failure.
As for integrating one's innate primordial bloodline into a cultivator's body to create entirely new life, this is commonplace in countless worlds.
However, life forms born in billions of different worlds will exhibit different strengths due to their bloodlines.
In the Netherworld, the power of their innate primordial bloodline is mainly manifested in their souls, and also includes some death power, which is the characteristic of the Netherworld.
"Continue exploring spacetime. I need to know the specific strength of the native life forms of the Netherworld and the activity patterns of those 'demons'."
If we enter the Demon Realm, where will the greatest threat come from?
Qin Ming's gaze was solemn. The more dangerous the place, the greater the opportunity it often holds. The innate primordial bloodline in the Netherworld is the best nourishment for the Underworld.
Those numerous lives can also serve as the basic system of the underworld.
"yes!"
The incarnation of the Time-Space Demon vanished.
Qin Ming's gaze swept over everyone present: "You all heard that. The danger of the Netherworld far exceeds expectations, especially in terms of mental fortitude. If one's mental strength is insufficient, one is simply not qualified to enter."
"Mountain Dweller, how is the training of the Samsara Legion progressing?"
The Mountain-Sitting Guest stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the Expansion Division has sent back a lot of intelligence. I simulated some scenes of the Netherworld using a virtual universe, allowing the warriors to get used to the combat rhythm there in advance."
"very good."
"How is the underworld's management system ready?"
The Lord of Chaos stepped forward: "The management system is basically complete. We have selected over 10 billion managers from the Origin Continent and the three thousand primordial universes, and formulated laws based on the special circumstances of the Netherworld."
Once the underworld establishes a foothold in the Netherworld, they can immediately take over the order of the world of the dead.
"Are there enough people?"
Qin Ming nodded slightly.
The "Dark Laws of Fengdu" are not static. For example, the system of merits and sins is based on the conditions of the source world.
What benefits the source world is merit!
Anything that harms the development of the source world is a sin!
Ordinary people, even if they make mistakes, cannot be considered sinful, and of course, it is difficult for them to gain merit.
However, while this system is perfected in the Origin Continent, it may not work in other Origin Worlds. Most importantly, there are no supreme rules in the billions of worlds, so the situation naturally needs to be changed.
Adapt to local conditions!
In the beginning, the judges and administrators of the Netherworld in the Demon Realm were the core personnel brought over from the Origin Continent, but as time went on, most of the candidates were selected from within the Netherworld itself.
Only in this way can the order of the underworld be spread throughout the infinite primordial space.
That's enough for now.
The Lord of Chaos City said, "The number of life forms in the Netherworld far exceeds that of the Origin Continent. If we want to take full control, we would need at least hundreds of billions of administrators."
But that's for the future; in the early stages, managing billions is more than enough.
"Okay. Continue expanding, don't let your guard down."
Qin Ming nodded slightly.
The situation of the Origin Continent is actually very special. Compared to the entire Origin World, it only has a core point at the very center, and the primordial universe is only a mere three thousand.
Its area is negligible compared to the entire Source World.
However, this is not the case in other source worlds, especially in billions of worlds.
For example, the Netherworld is an incredibly vast continent, hundreds or thousands of times larger than the Origin Continent, and with such a large area, the number of life forms is naturally extremely large.
That's not surprising.
In the original timeline, after Luo Feng became the lord and refined the Origin Continent, he directly controlled the energy in the Cosmic Sea, causing the three thousand primordial universes to expand to a full 100,000.
The area of the originating continent also expanded a hundredfold.
The only cost is that the already sparsely populated cosmic ocean becomes even more desolate.
Qin Ming then looked at the others.
"Ancestor, how is the coverage of the virtual universe?"
The progenitor stepped forward. "The virtual universe has already covered all areas of the Origin Continent. What remains are mainly the microcosms of those true gods and void true gods, as well as the divine kingdoms of those universe lords, and so on."
Within their microcosm, there are numerous divine kingdoms.
Its coverage speed is relatively slow.
"The microcosm..." Qin Ming mused, "I'll handle this part."
The most difficult step in walking the path of faith on the Origin Continent is how to spread faith within the microcosm and divine realm of billions of beings on the Origin Continent!
Even newborn life forms on the Origin Continent possess a divine kingdom within them.
For example, in this Origin Continent Genius Battle, there were as many as five trillion universe lords participating, and countless lives also exist within their divine kingdoms.
Even within the realm of the Lord of the Universe, there are smaller divine kingdoms!
This includes countless true gods, void true gods, and so on. Every second, new life is born on the Origin Continent, and countless divine kingdoms are also born.
These countless mortals in the divine realm constitute the true majority of the population in the Source World!
Not to mention compared to Qin Ming and the others.
Compared to ordinary immortals, they are beings who live only a day and die at dusk. The vast majority of them have no idea what a virtual universe or the underworld is.
They had no idea that Qin Ming was the Great Emperor of Fengdu.
This time, as the Myriad Souls Banner broke through, it refined a massive amount of the River of Filthy Blood over a thousand years. At the same time, it also controlled countless soul projections, leaving marks in the microcosms and divine kingdoms of each of these lives.
Once the time is right, the cycle of reincarnation can be initiated, bringing it into the realm of the underworld.
And now, the time has come.
……
hum-
A series of buzzing sounds came from the sky above the Origin Continent and the virtual universe at the same time. The phantom in Fengdu City of the Underworld slowly emerged, and Qin Ming's figure appeared on the throne.
He was dressed in a dark imperial robe and wore a twelve-tassel crown, surrounded by the phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. The phantom slowly rotated, radiating a pressure that made the entire Origin Continent tremble.
"People of the Origin Continent, I am the Great Emperor of Fengdu, the Lord of the Underworld, the ruler of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and also the Lord of the Origin Continent."
Qin Ming spoke, his voice not loud, yet it clearly reached the ears of every living being on the Origin Continent.
All life on the entire Origin Continent looked up at the sky, and countless beings knelt down, feeling the oppressive force that made their souls tremble.
The underworld did not exist on the continent of origin for very long.
However, the changes to the Origin Continent were earth-shattering, and the holding of the first Genius Battle plunged the entire Origin Continent into a state of frenzy.
"I have a few things to announce today."
Qin Ming's gaze swept across the void, his soul consciousness merging with the origin of the Origin Continent, as if he could see every life in the Origin Continent.
"A thousand years from now, the Origin Continent will host a battle of the strong! All Eternal True Gods are welcome to participate. The competition is similar to a battle of geniuses, and the winners will be recruited into the reserve force of the Underworld Reincarnation Legion!"
"The Origin Continent will usher in the Infinite Chaos Era! All powerful individuals who enter the Reincarnation Legion, even those in reserve, will have the opportunity to leave the Origin Continent and explore a far wider world!"
boom!
As Qin Ming's voice fell, countless Eternal True Gods across the Origin Continent looked up at the sky with fervent eyes. When the Genius Battle came to an end, countless people were filled with envy!
Almost all of the top ten in the Genius Battle were taken as disciples by the God King!
Even those in the top 100 can become disciples of the Chaos Ruler!
Furthermore, millions of them successfully joined the Underworld and received special training there.
Who wouldn't be envious or jealous?
These are nothing more than a bunch of universe lords!
Has their chance finally come to them?
The news of the Reincarnation Legion caused an uproar among the billions of races on the Origin Continent.
The existence of a larger world beyond the Origin Continent is not a secret among the higher-ups and the Chaos Rulers, but it is not so among the lower-level beings.
Most people have no idea about the concept of the source world.
But even a fool knows that exploring a larger world inevitably means boundless benefits!
Every strong person yearns to see a bigger world!
"The Underworld will also be open to every corner of the Origin Continent."
As soon as he finished speaking, the six Paths of Reincarnation phantom slowly rotated in the sky above the Origin Continent, and countless rays of light flew out from the six Paths of Reincarnation phantom and soared into the sky!
Fly up to the countless microcosms and divine kingdoms suspended in the starry sky under the protection of the supreme rules!
Rumbling--
The entire Origin Continent resounded with a roar, and believers, whether gazing up at the starry sky or kneeling on the ground, all heard Qin Ming's voice in their hearts.
Do not!
It should be said that Qin Ming's voice came from within their divine kingdom and microcosm, and a phantom image of a small Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared within their microcosm and divine kingdom.
"From now on, all life forms, including those born and fallen within the microcosm and the divine realm, will be completely brought under the rule of the underworld."
When life in a microcosm dies, its soul also enters the underworld.
Countless lives across the entire continent of origin were shaken.
Under the supreme rules, no life form may approach the starry sky, nor may it destroy or affect the divine kingdoms or microcosms of others. This is the protection of the supreme rules!
But now, it seems that this rule has been broken?
Some of them were deeply sinful, and the God Kings and Chaos Realm beings hidden in the corners of the Origin Continent trembled in their hearts. Qin Ming was actually able to directly invade their small universes.
This scene is incomprehensible, but when it happens to the Emperor of Fengdu, surprisingly no one finds it strange.
Because he is the Emperor of Fengdu!
He is the master of the Origin Continent!
Qin Ming's voice did not stop. He incorporated all the life forms in his microcosm and divine kingdom into the underworld and into the six realms of reincarnation. This was a step he had to take, and he didn't need to consult with anyone.
They have to accept it!
It must be done!
call!call!call!
As Qin Ming spoke, countless souls of those who had died in the microcosms and divine realms rose up wildly, and in an instant, countless souls flew into the underworld.
Its quantity is even greater than that absorbed when the Underworld unified the Origin Continent during its expansion!
Of course, these life forms are at a much lower level.
The vast majority are ordinary people.
An ordinary person who can't even be considered a martial artist!
……
Underworld.
Qin Ming's true form sat beneath the World Tree, gazing downwards.
As countless ordinary lives began to enter the underworld, and as the underworld and virtual universe expanded further, they completely enveloped all areas of the entire Origin Continent.
He could sense that the power of faith in the underworld was rapidly increasing.
Life originating on the continent numbered in the hundreds of millions.
Every life, once it reaches adulthood, has its own little universe.
Within each microcosm, there are countless smaller divine kingdoms. These worlds are nested layer upon layer, like an inverted giant tree with its roots extending to infinity.
However, it will still take time to completely refine the Origin Continent.
It will take time for countless lives to accept and recognize Qin Ming, to believe in him from the bottom of their hearts, and to think that he is the master of the Origin Continent. This is a slow and steady process that cannot be rushed.
……
At the same time.
In the boundless void, a nearly transparent phantom was hurtling toward a certain direction!
That's the direction of the Demon Realm!
After a thousand years and traversing countless primordial worlds, an immensely vast world, shrouded in black mist, appeared before Qin Ming.
"We've finally arrived! The Demon Realm!"
