The blob of light floated in front of Chen Luoyang. Chen Luoyang extended his hand and tapped lightly. The radiance dissipated, revealing the figure of Zhang Weiyu, the lord of the northernmost lake of the mortal world.
Zhang Weiyu cupped his hands at Chen Luoyang. "Thank you for your help, Fiend Emperor."
He turned to look at Ji Zhong, who was with the Skyphoenix.
The two, who had never met before, finally met. They looked at each other from afar, their hearts filled with mixed feelings.
Ji Zhong looked at Zhang Weiyu and sighed after a long while.
The Netherworld god, the Mystic Corpse, was one of the few existences that could stir some obsession in him.
He had always hoped to find the other party, but now that they were face to face, the greatest feeling he had was empathy.
At that moment, Zhang Weiyu was not the powerhouse of the mortal world that he had to look up to before he awakened Goumang's innate wisdom, nor was he the Netherworld god, the Mystic Corpse, that he was determined to find after he awakened Goumang's innate wisdom. Instead, he was like the ancient god Goumang, trapped by the Netherworld god and having his life changed.
Be it the powerhouses of the mortal world's righteous path or the ancient Godfiends, they had no choice.
Only they knew how it felt, but it was difficult for others to understand.
Ji Zhong calmed down and exhaled deeply before saying, "The Netherworld god, the Mystic Corpse, massacred countless people in ancient times, causing the deaths of many ancient gods and billions of living beings.
It was an urge to destroy that came from the bottom of his heart, as though he wanted to send this world to destruction together with the other Netherworld gods. "
After a moment of silence, Zhang Weiyu said, "I understand."
His cultivation level was higher than Xu Peng, Wei Feng, Han Mei, and company, so the urge to destroy was stronger.
He was still able to stabilize his state of mind at the Martial Supremacy realm, but from the looks of it, he could not guarantee that he could restrain this urge as his cultivation level increased.
At that moment, Chen Luoyang said, "The present Nether Supremacy, Lu Feng, has already been the Netherworld god, Kongming, for thousands of years."
"We already know." The Heavenly Phoenix said, "Perhaps after so many years, the God of the Underworld has undergone some changes. However, seeing that the Lord of the Underworld has been living in the dead land of the Yellow Springs for a long time and rarely enters the human world, it is hard to say what his current state is."
The phoenix looked at Chen Luoyang and said, "The God of the Underworld has found a new body and is growing very fast. It won't be long before he will be able to return to the God Realm of the past. I don't understand your intentions, but you need to be careful not to nurture a tiger."
Chen Luoyang's tone was light. "That's my business."
The Heavenly Phoenix nodded, "We have no intention of participating in the affairs of the human world. However, if the God of the Netherworld creates chaos in the world and causes the destruction of the human world, we will not be able to avoid it. When the time comes, we can lend a hand."
"Alright." Chen Luoyang asked, "Where do the two of you go next?"
"The Xian Tian Palace has already submitted to the Demon Monarch. With your magnanimity, I believe that you will not make things difficult for them. Senior Tian Feng, there is no need for me to stay in the mortal world anymore." Ji Zhong bowed to Chen Luoyang and said, "We will head to the Void and continue to search for news of Sovereign Xi. When the Xian Tian Luo Palace opens, we will disturb the Demon Monarch."
Chen Luoyang nodded slightly, "I won't see you out."
The man and the phoenix in front of him bade farewell and left. They did not return to the mortal world but disappeared into the vast Void of the universe.
Zhang Weiyu stood beside Chen Luoyang and said, "Li Hushuang and Cheng Shuzhi are in the Qingwei Realm. Xu Ruotong is in the Saha Realm. As for Ji Tianqiong, who helped them leave the mortal world, there is still no sign of her."
Chen Luoyang said, "It's fine, let them be."
"Daoist Lord said that keeping the Mystic Corpse is useful. Is that true?" Zhang Weiyu let out a breath.
"What she wants is a God of the Underworld, it doesn't have to be a Mystic Corpse." Chen Luoyang looked at the Saha Realm and said, "In the Saha Realm, she has gained something. The Mystic Corpse is no longer necessary for her."
Zhang Weiyu's white eyebrows moved slightly, "Most of the Gods of the Underworld are in that pagoda …"
Chen Luoyang smiled indifferently, "That's right, so Daoist Lord Qingwei wants to keep one."
Zhang Weiyu nodded silently.
Black mist surged above Chen Luoyang's head and the Xuantian Netherworld Pagoda appeared.
The moment the pagoda appeared, Zhang Weiyu frowned and his body tensed up.
"It's still a long time before the Annihilation Luo Palace opens. Before that, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to breathe. Go in and rest first." Chen Luoyang's tone was indiscernible.
Zhang Weiyu looked at the Xuantian Netherworld Pagoda for a long time, his expression even more complicated than when he faced Ji Zhong.
Chen Luoyang did not rush him. He stood in the void with his hands behind his back and looked at the Saha Realm, Qingwei Realm, Shanhai Realm, and Xihe Realm.
After a long time, Zhang Weiyu's expression calmed down and he walked into the Xuantian Pagoda.
Of the eight floors of the pagoda, there were only three floors left.
Chen Luoyang put away the pagoda, waved at the Saha Realm, and turned to return to the mortal world.
In the Saha Realm, the Daoist Lord smiled and nodded, watching Chen Luoyang leave.
Beside her stood the former Empress of the East Zhou Dynasty in the mortal world, Xu Ruotong.
"Stay here and cultivate, reconcile Daoism and Buddhism, and become a Martial God." The Daoist Lord's tone was calm, "However, if you are one step behind, you will always be behind."
Xu Ruotong shook her head, "There's nothing to complain about if your skills are not as good as others.
Back then, some people in the mortal world guessed that Zhi Zun had died long ago and that Chen Luoyang was bluffing. However, due to various reasons, everyone was skeptical and finally came to this point.
If Zhi Zun really died long ago, then Chen Luoyang relied on himself to achieve what he has today. That's even more admirable. "
"If you really become a Martial God, you will owe him half of the favor," said the Daoist Lord.
Xu Ruotong rubbed her temples and pouted, "That person won't do anything until he sees the rabbit. God knows what he will do."
She glanced at the Daoist Lord.
In fact, she was even more confused about what the ruler of the Qingwei Realm was planning.
If it was just to occupy the Saha Realm, was it worth it for the Daoist Lord to be so determined to cooperate with Chen Luoyang and betray the rulers of the other realms?
The Xihe Realm's Lord of Heaven and Young Master Tian, the two Martial Gods, together with the Divine Sword Ming, had indeed put a lot of pressure on the other realms.
However, before knowing that the Lord of Heaven was still alive and that the Divine Sword Ming belonged to the Xihe Realm, the Daoist Lord had already made up his mind to cooperate with the mortal world. What was his motive?
Xu Ruotong retracted her gaze and gritted her teeth.
The Daoist Lord's expression was calm, "Focus on your cultivation. When you are free, help me keep an eye on the Saha Realm. There should be a God of the Netherworld here, 'Desolation'."
Xu Ruotong nodded, "Alright."
…
Chen Luoyang returned to the mortal world. The chaos caused by the opening of the Gate of the Netherworld and the flowing of the Yellow Spring had gradually subsided.
Although the situation was terrifying, it was resolved by Chen Luoyang's arrangements in the nick of time, so no real damage was caused.
The commoners did not even know that they had almost ushered in a disaster.
Chen Luoyang returned to the dark cave where the Demon Venerable used to live.
There was no one left in the grotto-heaven.
Chen Luoyang strolled alone in the cave. He came to the central hall and pushed open the door.
The throne in the hall was now empty.
The cauldron that was used to make the Xuantian Netherworld Tower was now completely quiet, like an old and ordinary antique.
Chen Luoyang walked past the cauldron and came to the throne. He did not sit on it. He stared at the throne and remained silent for a long time.
"Do you want to change your original intention?" A woman's voice came from the black fog.
Chen Luoyang stood in front of the Demon Venerable's throne, still silent.
The woman in black walked out of the fog and came to his side. She smiled and said, "Yes, I should not say that you want to change your original intention. I should say that you want to find your original intention?"
"Original intention? Neither "Chen Luoyang finally spoke," Between the two choices, I choose the one that I like right now "
The black-clothed Chen Chuhua tilted his head and looked at him, "So, what's your final decision?"
Chen Luoyang lightly raised his hand. His sleeves fluttered despite the lack of wind.
Ashes gathered in front of him and turned into the Demon Venerable Tang Tianhai's corpse.
Chen Luoyang touched the Demon Venerable's throne. The throne turned into a coffin.
The Demon Venerable's corpse fell into the coffin. The black mirror was also placed inside by Chen Luoyang. He then closed the coffin.
Chen Luoyang bowed toward the coffin.
"It seems like the impact this time is quite significant" Chen Chuhua smiled.
Chen Luoyang's tone was indifferent, "Then what's your decision?"
"Now that you've reached the Martial God Realm, you should already know," Chen Chuhua raised his brows.
Chen Luoyang's expression remained unchanged, "You and I both know that a long time can make people change."
Chen Chuhua approached him and whispered in his ear, "Then you better keep an eye on me."
"I will," Chen Luoyang nodded and paused for a moment.
His voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
"Sorry."
Chen Chuhua chuckled, "You don't have to apologize to me. I'll keep an eye on you too."
Chen Luoyang nodded, "Very well."
The two left the central hall. Chen Luoyang turned around and waved his hand in the air.
The enormous hall fell silent. The darkness of the Heaven and Earth changed without a sound. The original location of the central hall turned into a huge tomb.
Chen Luoyang left the darkness of the Heaven and brought his palms together in front of his chest. The entire Heaven and Earth turned into a mausoleum.
In the future, no one would ever set foot in this place again.
"It will take some time to reopen the Extinguishing Luo Palace. When the time comes, I might need you to cooperate with the little guy in the Xi Realm." Chen Chuhua said, "Before that, let me rest in the tower. After so many years, I can finally relax."
"Be careful, you won't be able to come out." Chen Luoyang took out the Heavenly Dark Underworld Tower.
Chen Chuhua smiled without saying anything. He floated into the tower and occupied one of the floors.
The Heavenly Dark Underworld Tower returned to the top of Chen Luoyang's head with the black mist.
Chen Luoyang was in the Mortal World and closed his eyes.
Then, the entire Mortal World seemed to shake.
The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth formed invisible meridians and gathered on Chen Luoyang's body.
Chen Luoyang opened his left eye. All the people in the Mortal World seemed to turn into stars in his vision.
Then, he opened his right eye again. Specks of light gathered in front of him and finally turned into a completely transparent mirror without a frame.
The world shook. All the top martial arts powerhouses had a sudden realization.
The Mortal World had a new master.
The last time there was such a phenomenon, no one understood it. Everyone had only seen it in historical records thousands of years ago.
The new master of the world had descended upon the Mortal World.
Before everyone could recover from their shock, the eyes of the group of people at the very top all blurred. They only felt the scenery change, and all of them arrived in a hazy mist.
A voice echoed in everyone's ears.
"My master has unfortunately fallen. From today onwards, I am the master of the Mortal World."
