Underworld Emperor's Chance to Become a God! The Demon Empress's Plot
All three knew that the Underworld Emperor's choice would determine their future fate.
Fortunately, the Underworld Emperor did not remain silent for long, and soon broke the silence of the room.
"I once thought I was that one in a million genius, breaking through to the Titled Douluo at nineteen, becoming Super Douluo at twenty-five, and reaching the ultimate realm that countless people dream of before I even turned fifty," the Underworld Emperor said, his hands behind his back, a trace of melancholy appearing in his gray eyes. "But I never imagined that all of this was thanks to the Plane Spirit, yet I didn't even get to see him one last time."
A complex emotion welled up in the Underworld Emperor's heart. Before the Old Plane Spirit passed away, it had left instructions in his mind. Only then did he realize that he had always thought he was alone all along, but now he discovered that there was someone who had been silently watching over him and even Guardian his soul.
However, by the time he found out, the soul had already departed; they hadn't even exchanged a single word.
For him, nothing in the world could be more tragic than this.
"Senior Underworld Emperor, you were chosen by the Plane Spirit, which in itself signifies extraordinary talent," Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, and he continued, "Of course, please accept my condolences."
"My own condolences are useless; I will make others mourn as well." The Underworld Emperor shook his head slightly, a wild grin spreading across his lips, and said in an icy tone, "The enemies of the Plane Spirit are right here on the Douluo Continent, and I will exact my revenge upon them!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly and exchanged a glance with the Dark Bell beside him. As if on the same wavelength, the Dark Bell first gave Jiang Xiu a rather beautiful glare, then parted her red lips slightly and said, "Then, Underworld Emperor, how do you plan to take revenge? You should know that old man's enemies are all gods."
"I dislike beating around the bush. The Plane Spirit left a message in my Sea of Consciousness, saying that you can help me break through the final shackles and become a legendary god." The Underworld Emperor stared intently at Jiang Xiu, gripping his Cross Sword tightly, and solemnly said:
"If you can truly do that, then I, the Emperor, am willing to submit to you wholeheartedly."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed with surprise. He hadn't expected the Underworld Emperor to make such a request. But then he understood. The Underworld Emperor had spent the first half of his life striving to break through to the God Level, so this request was reasonable.
But what Jiang Xiu didn't know was that before this, the Underworld Emperor's lifelong pursuit was to break through to godhood. However, after the death of the Plane Spirit, his goal had changed. He wanted to avenge the Plane Spirit. Becoming a god was no longer his end point, but a node in his long road of revenge.
"Senior Underworld Emperor, I also very much want to help you break through to godhood, but it's impossible to do so in a short time, because I am currently only a three-ring Soul Elder." Jiang Xiu pondered for a moment and said softly.
Although he also desires the Underworld Emperor, the strongest being of our time, it is clear that he cannot help the Underworld Emperor break through to the God Level at present.
"It's alright, I have plenty of time to wait," the Underworld Emperor said, shaking his head slightly. He was different from the other Limit Douluo. The lifespan of the other Limit Douluo was generally over three hundred years, with the highest being four hundred years. However, he possessed the Underworld Reincarnation Domain and countless undead creatures, so his lifespan far exceeded theirs.
Jiang Xiu's current aptitude is clearly superior to his.
Suddenly, the Underworld Emperor seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, right, the Plane Spirit also told me that the opportunity for me to become a god lies in the Demon Plane, and you know the way to the Demon Plane. You will take me there."
"The Demon Plane?" Jiang Xiu frowned, muttering to himself, a look of confusion in his eyes. The Demon Plane was below the Douluo Plane in terms of power level. The strongest Demon Monarch there was only comparable to Limit Douluo in human form. Moreover, the Demon Plane had restrictions on becoming a god. How could the Underworld Emperor's opportunity to become a god be there?
"What? What have you thought of?" Seeing Jiang Xiu's thoughtful expression, the Underworld Emperor pressed him, his tone slightly excited. After all, the sooner he became a god, the sooner he could take revenge.
"Hmm... it is indeed possible to travel to the Demon Plane, but not now, because the time is not right yet." Jiang Xiu shook his head slightly, then suppressed these chaotic thoughts.
Since the Plane Spirit said so, there must be a reason for it. What he needs to do before that is to control the method to travel to the Demon Plane.
On the entire continent, there is only one person who can connect to the Demon Plane, and that person is Yuanen Yehui!
"It seems I'll have to take the upcoming East Sea Grand Competition even more seriously," Jiang Xiu thought to himself, since both the Golden Ancient Tree and Yuanen Yehui were at the Shrek Academy.
With Yuanen Yehui by his side, he wouldn't need to deliberately search for a way to reach the Demon Plane, because the Demon Plane would practically deliver itself to him...
"The Yuanen family is quite a powerful ally." Jiang Xiu couldn't help but sigh as he thought of the Yuanen Family.
In this era of prodigious geniuses, some extraordinary Martial Soul from 20,000 and 10,000 years ago have faded into obscurity, but the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul remains powerful. In the later stages, the Yuanen Family even witnessed the flourishing of three members with ultimate abilities, which is extremely rare on the entire continent.
"The time is not right... then I will wait a little longer. Once you have news, please inform me at any time." A hint of regret flashed in the Underworld Emperor's eyes as he calmly spoke.
"Alright." Jiang Xiu nodded slightly, his eyes flashing slightly, and asked softly, "Senior Underworld Emperor, I wonder how far the Demon Empress has progressed?"
"Hmm..." The Underworld Emperor gave Jiang Xiu a deep look, then said, "She is stronger than me, or rather, her current strength is above that of Quasi-God, and she may even have one foot in the God Level."
"And she's secretly plotting some things, constantly gathering blood and resentment from blood-stained creatures. If I'm not mistaken, she's even established a stable connection with the Abyss and struck some kind of deal."
"This... this isn't right..." Dark Bell eyes widened upon hearing this, her expression filled with astonishment.
She had vaguely known that their Holy Spirit Cult's Demon Empress had made contact with the Abyss, but she never expected that they would actually establish contact now.
"Your rank isn't high enough, so it's normal that you don't know these things, but you'll find out soon enough." The Underworld Emperor glanced indifferently at the Dark Bell. If the Demon Empress were to make a move, he would definitely mobilize the Holy Spirit Cult.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu's purple eyes flashed with a sharp light. He knew very well that the Demon Empress was currently insane. She didn't care about anything as long as she could get revenge. As for whether Douluo Continent would be swallowed by the Abyss, that was none of his concern.
Her main reason for establishing contact with the Abyss Plane Abyss Plane was to get its help in breaking through to the final step.
"Is there anything else you'd like to ask? Ask away," the Underworld Emperor said, looking at Jiang Xiu. "If not, I should go back and heal my wounds."
"That's all for now. If the Demon Empress makes any major moves, I hope you, Senior Underworld Emperor, can inform me in time," Jiang Xiu said, shaking his head slightly.
"No problem." The Underworld Emperor nodded, then with a flick of his body, he turned into countless withered ashes and suddenly disappeared from the room.
Although his injuries did not reach the source, he still needed to be healed, as the Divine Power of the Sea God was not so easy to remove.
"Hey, little brother, what are you planning to do next?" Dark Bell asked with a coquettish smile, as she noticed that only she and Jiang Xiu were left in the room. She leaned slightly closer to Jiang Xiu.
"Cultivate and break through the second seal of the Golden Dragon King." Jiang Xiu said without hesitation. Now that he had the Golden Dragon King Origin as a gold mine, he naturally wanted to explore it thoroughly.
"Hehehe, the seal on my sister hasn't been lifted yet, so my life from now on depends on you, little brother..." A strange light flashed in Dark Bell's beautiful eyes, and her delicate body leaned slightly closer to Jiang Xiu. "As long as you take me in, little brother, I'll do anything..."
Meanwhile, Na'er was still on her way...
