Emperor Jupiter gazed at the countless spiritual bodies falling like meteors, his face expressing utmost shock, “What on earth has happened to the human world?”

This wave of “Rain of Spirit” was so vast it was terrifying; nearly half of the world’s creatures were wiped out because of it.

Moreover, the deaths continued unabated due to reduced food production, natural and man-made disasters, and beasts rampaging.

With his power as a Heroic Spirit, he could no longer maintain the normal operation of the Netherworld.

Though the Sea of Souls generously accepted all spiritual bodies that fell into it, there were still many lingering on the land of the Netherworld.

Especially the legendary magic tutors, with their resilient spirits.

Although not as enduring as Heroic Spirits, they could still last a long time.

“Ilya…”

“Great Magic Emperor…”

“I curse you…”

They wore ferocious expressions, faces etched with vengeful grudges as they cast their curses.

Unfortunately, to a true Divine Being, these were meaningless.

Ilya didn’t even bother to respond to them.

Instead, Emperor Jupiter spent a great deal of energy trying to send these powerful magicians into the Nether Sea.

“It won’t work…

too many, too many!”

Emperor Jupiter scattered a handful of spiritual bodies into the sea, looking at the myriad points of light in the Netherworld resembling a vast starry sky, his face showing a hint of difficulty.

“Respected ancestors…”

At that moment, a young man behind him spoke up.

It was Chastain!

This great emperor, after his death, his spiritual body had regained its youth, but the worship he received could not be compared to that of Emperor Jupiter.

When Emperor Jupiter saw a large amount of spiritual bodies falling that were connected to him by blood, he saved a group and established a minor power in the Netherworld, akin to the beginnings of a city-state.

“It’s Chastain, what do you suggest?”

Emperor Jupiter still admired the wisdom of his descendant.

Though he had lost an empire, it was mainly due to not understanding the terrifying potential of magicians in the later stages.

“With your strength alone, ancestor, you cannot uphold the heavy duty of maintaining the cycle of reincarnation.

Why not expand your power, recruit other spiritual bodies, and form a kingdom of the undead…”

Chastain bowed low as he spoke.

“A kingdom of the undead?” Emperor Jupiter murmured.

“Yes, those true spirits who are unwilling to enter the cycle of reincarnation can just survive in the Netherworld.

After all, as time goes by, they will eventually weaken and gradually disappear…”

Chastain looked up admiringly at Emperor Jupiter.

His figure, massive like a giant, was indeed the strongest in the Netherworld.

Moreover, as he bore the duty of drawing the spiritual bodies, there wasn’t a risk of them dissipating anymore, and he could also protect a group of descendants.

Utilizing this kind of ‘protection’ authority in the Netherworld, Emperor Jupiter could actually achieve many things.

“And…

faith is also a form of strength.”

“I have received information from many dead magicians…

They had means to utilize ‘faith,’ parts of the Magic Net technology.

If you could also gather the faith of spiritual bodies…

perhaps, ancestor, you could have the potential to ascend to divinity!”

“The Netherworld needs a Divine Being to supervise death!”

Chastain spoke loudly, “And unlike the mortals of the Material Realm, under your protection, we have endless time, we can afford to wait…”

“To become…

a Divine Being?”

Emperor Jupiter murmured, “Perhaps…

I was wrong initially.”

As he looked at the disaster that destroyed half the world, regret also stirred within his heart.

If he had not resisted the Transcendent powers in the past, he might have been able to advance to the sixth level, then suppress the empire for hundreds of years!

He might even have become a Divine, preventing this catastrophe.

But he did not!

“Chastain, perhaps you are right, the Netherworld…

needs a true Divine’s Protection!”

Jupiter said solemnly.

The arrival of the three Divines signaled a massive change in the world.

Even the Netherworld had to progress with the times.

His path to divinity would not be reckless like Ilya’s and Tacro’s, but through the gradual accumulation in the Netherworld, he would slowly become divine.

Even if it took hundreds or thousands of years!

“Pluto…

Emperor Jupiter!”

Chastain immediately let out a cheer.

Behind him, everyone in the city-state unleashed a roar as powerful as a landslide.

…

“This Jupiter finally got it…

It seems that even though he was a Divine in his former life, this life has many changes.

I had not expected the unpredictable sea to become so melancholic and sensitive…”

Su Lu watched this scene and couldn’t help but make a sarcastic remark to himself.

After all, Divines are inherently unpredictable, and no one knows what truly lies within them.

Especially after undergoing a reincarnation, even a change in gender is normal, let alone a change in personality.

“The sea, the earth, the flames, the wisdom…

Four Divines reincarnated, so far only two have succeeded.

Jupiter just has hope, while the flames…

have already fallen into a new cycle of reincarnation.”

Su Lu felt that perhaps the reason was that the God of Flames was too complacent.

Phil, controlling the power of flames but not satisfied, challenged breakthroughs everywhere, perhaps influenced by the subconscious of his former life, not wanting to become divine through flames but instead exploring opposing realms like death and ice, had great ambition.

Unfortunately, he lacked the strength and luck, only to meet his demise.

In this case, at least Jupiter was fortunate.

In the realm of the Netherworld gods, there had not yet appeared any particularly strong contenders.

Perhaps, he really could become the Death God of the new world.

…

With Jupiter becoming the Pluto, chaos began in the Netherworld.

The battles between Spiritual Bodies were more brutal than in the Material Realm; the defeated had no room to survive, not even their True Spirits would remain.@@novelbin@@

First, Jupiter struck, defeating several nearby mages’ spirits.

Soon after, many more powerful Spiritual Bodies were recruited, forming a grand army of the Undead, led by Chastain into battle in all directions.

“Only Pluto is the Dominator of the Netherworld!”

“For our lord!

Kill!”

They rode Bone Horses, their iron hooves traversing every corner of the Netherworld.

“The essence of a Kingdom is order!”

Chastain had a deep understanding of establishing a Kingdom: “And the order of the Underworld must be held in our hands…”

His eyes flickered with Ghost Fire: “Here, I cannot lose to the mages again!”

Having been a Great Emperor, he naturally harbored great ambitions.

Chastain naturally did not want to just struggle in the Netherworld in the form of a Spiritual Body.

He also wanted to become powerful and even, deep in his heart, harbored some desires to become a Sub-God.

However, he was well aware that he could not compete with Jupiter in strength, prestige, or anything else, so the only path before him was clear.

That was to first aid Emperor Jupiter to become the God of Death, and for himself to first achieve eternal life in the Netherworld, then seek an opportunity to attain the status of a Sub-God.

“Ilya…

though you have become a Divine…

I will never forget my own hatred!”
