The God of Slaughter's hatred (four thousand words)

As the Ghost Emperor pondered, a figure silently appeared at the edge of the shadows in the hall, kneeling on one knee.

"Ghost Emperor," a hoarse, deep voice rang out, filled with absolute respect, "the Eternal Heaven Kingdom that Devil Emperor brought back, after being studied by those researchers, will require considerable time to unlock the Soul Tool sealing it. Forcibly opening it might cause the Eternal Heaven Kingdom inside to self-destruct."

Upon hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashed in the Ghost Emperor's eyes.

"A bunch of useless trash! It takes them this long to even seal Soul Tool! Tell them, by whatever means necessary, they must activate the Soul Tool before the war with the Douluo Federation begins. Otherwise, let them use Eternal Heaven Kingdom through violence and perish along with the enemy!"

Although the Eternal Heaven Kingdom has been retrieved, the Soul Tool used for sealing is a problem. It seems to be a Level 9 Soul Tool, and with the Soul Tool Technology of the Star Luo Empire, it will take some time to unlock it.

However, this doesn't actually prevent the use of the Eternal Heaven Kingdom. When the time comes, it can be used directly by force, although it will be quite wasteful of people.

Therefore, the Ghost Emperor's anger came quickly and went quickly.

He glanced at the Evil Spirit Master had brought the message, "Go down. Also, inform Star Luo Empire that they can try to take advantage of the Federation's weakness, but they need to know when to stop. Now is not the time for a decisive battle!"

The Federation has its own internal problems to deal with, and the Holy Spirit Cult also needs to make more preparations.

After all, they need to come up with a strategy to deal with the sudden emergence of God Rank combat power from the Douluo Federation. Also, breaking the seal on the Eternal Heaven Kingdom will take some time.

After his subordinates left, the Ghost Emperor pondered for a moment and decided to contact the Demon Empress.

The current situation has exceeded his initial expectations. The sudden emergence of several combatants in the Douluo Federation who have reached the God Rank, especially the two who are suspected to be reincarnations of First Rank God, has cast a heavy shadow over the originally clear situation. He needs to ask that person for their opinion.

However, when the Ghost Emperor contacted the Demon Empress, he discovered that the Demon Emperor was not guarding the sea area near the Dou Ling Continent.

Why did you suddenly leave Dou Ling?

"I have more important matters to attend to when I leave."

On the vast, boundless ocean, the Demon Empress said calmly, "I sensed a large number of Divinity Fragment. Someone must have used Divine Power or Divine Consciousness to activate the power of the Sea God Divine Spark fragments, which is why my senses are so clear."

"Divinity Fragment?"

The Ghost Emperor was taken aback, then, thinking of the battle on Douluo's side, his eyes lit up, "It's probably Chen Xinjie!"

"You know?" The Demon Empress frowned.

"That's right. News has come from Federation Federation that Chen Xinjie has defected. His Martial Soul is related to the ocean, and he's at the Divine Origin Realm, so it's highly likely he's found a large number of Divinity Fragment."

"I see."

The Demon Empress seemed lost in thought, her eyes gleaming. Fragments of the Sea God Divine Spark —this was an irresistible temptation for any powerful being with ocean attributes, let alone someone like her who had a grudge against the Sea God. Just looking at the Divinity Fragment could make her wake up laughing in her sleep.

However, the Demon Empress quickly suppressed his excitement and said, "You want to contact that person, right? He has recovered to the God Rank and is not in seclusion."

Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor was startled, and ghostly flames seemed to flicker violently in his eyes.

Although the God of Slaughter had told them beforehand that his cultivation was almost back to the God Rank, the Ghost Emperor was still excited when he actually heard the news.

This is a true True God, True God with Divine Position, unlike the few short-lived God Rank warriors of the Douluo Federation, or even the god-level warriors like Di Tian who achieved their God Rank through the amplification of his Battle Armor.

Thinking back to the fact that the two gods in Douluo were only at the Soul Saint level after their reincarnations, the Ghost Emperor suddenly felt much more relaxed.

The Holy Spirit Cult still has the strength to fight.

However, the Ghost Emperor then realized that with the God of Slaughter's recovery, their Holy Spirit Cult would have no means to restrain him, and he couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless.

When the Holy Spirit Cult found the God of Slaughter, he was in extremely poor condition, with only a wisp of Divine Consciousness remaining. He could not even maintain his physical form, and his memories were incomplete. Only terrifying resentment, evil thoughts, and murderous aura were supporting him. Otherwise, they might not have known the God of Slaughter's true name.

After all, faith needs a direction. At that time, the God of Slaughter, who had almost no power, couldn't even mimic his own appearance, so it was impossible for him to create an idol. Fortunately, the God of Slaughter still remembered his divine name and divine office, which were the best guiding principles at the time.

Therefore, in the choice between killing the God of Slaughter to obtain his inheritance and offering God of Slaughter to restore him, the Holy Spirit Cult chose the latter. After all, the former was very likely to be a futile effort; even after the Rakshasa God died 20,000 years ago, no one has ever been heard of obtaining Rakshasa God inheritance. On the other hand, given the God of Slaughter's state at the time, the Holy Spirit Cult might actually be able to control this deity with its methods.

Unfortunately, the god's power still exceeded their expectations. After regaining his Divine Consciousness and memories, they were no longer able to restrain him.

"In hindsight, it was ultimately a case of trying to get something from a tiger. Fortunately, he still needs the Holy Spirit Cult, so there's still a chance. Once the plan succeeds, we can all become gods."

The Ghost Emperor took a deep breath, hung up the communication with the Demon Empress, calmed his mind, and took out a dark-colored, prismatic crystal that seemed to be formed from congealed blood and resentment.

He held the Blood Soul Crystal in his palm and infused it with a wisp of Soul Power and intent.

The surface of the crystal gleamed with a viscous, blood-red light, and inside, it seemed as if countless vengeful spirits were howling, gradually converging into a blurry, distorted phantom outline that contained endless sharpness and an aura of death.

Even a mere wisp of Divine Consciousness brought the Ghost Emperor endless pressure.

"By the God of Slaughter, congratulations on your return to the God Realm."

The Ghost Emperor lowered his head, maintaining the respect due to a deity. "I have important matters to report and request divine guidance."

The phantom within the Blood Soul Crystal rippled slightly, and a cold, hoarse voice rang out, tinged with indifference. "Speak."

The Ghost Emperor dared not delay and quickly gave a concise report on the battle at the Sea God Lake in the Douluo Continent, especially the information about Di Tian, Snow Empress, Huo Yuhao, and Gu Yuena.

Finally, the Ghost Emperor asked, "Lord God of God of Slaughter, how should we deal with those newly reincarnated deities?"

The phantom within the Blood Soul Crystal remained silent for a moment before the icy voice rang out again, "Did those two spread their faith in the Douluo Continent?"

"No."

Then there's no need to worry.

Xiupu Ruosi's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible mockery and resentment.

"Without the sustenance of faith, relying solely on their own slow absorption of free-floating energy and the essence of other planes, how can their recovery speed compare to mine? Although I have been sealed for ten thousand years and my Divine Consciousness is damaged, my Divine Spark of slaughter still remains. Moreover, your Holy Spirit Cult uses the blood sacrifices of its entire members as fuel to nourish me day and night. Once they revive, what will they have to contend with me with?"

He paused slightly, as if stating an undeniable fact. "Moreover, the Douluo Plane is resource-poor and its rules are incomplete. Without a massive amount of faith Vow Power as its foundation, or by finding other God Rank opportunities and occupying the position of the Plane Master, it is simply not enough to support the revival of beings above the Third Rank God level. Their current apparent glory is merely due to the small amount of origin and understanding of Laws left over from their previous reincarnations."

Although Xiupu Ruosi is Second Rank God, he has followed the former Asura God for a long time and is God of Law Enforcement often enforces the law in various realms. His knowledge is in no way inferior to that of First Rank God.

The existence of Second Rank God like Lie Yan in the lower realm is an exception. Lieyan is a being born and nurtured by the earth at the core of the Five Elements Continent. Even so, he was only Third Rank God before he met Ji Dong.

It's clear how difficult it is to break through to the Second Rank God level in these lower realms without special opportunities. And being at the same level, Xiupu Ruosi has no fear of those former Main God, not to mention that their recovery is slower than his.

Of course, those like Sea God who possess Super Divine Tool are an exception.

"I've already taken the lead; even if they were Main God, they couldn't do anything to me. Instead of worrying about the strength of the Douluo Federation, you should think about how to carry out your plan and use the Abyss to enhance your strength."

Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor felt greatly reassured.

"I will obey the divine decree of the God of God of Slaughter!" the Ghost Emperor replied respectfully. "Besides the Abyss Plane, there is news from other planes within the sect, which may allow you to recover more quickly."

The phantom within the Blood Soul Crystal nodded slightly, but said nothing more, and slowly dissipated.

The Ghost Emperor gripped the crystal, his eyes blazing with ghostly fire. With the God of Slaughter's pronouncement, the last trace of doubt in his heart vanished.

As long as the plan can proceed, that's fine.

However, whether or not to plot against that plane to further enhance the God of Slaughter was something he needed to consider.

The God of Slaughter is too powerful—to him, their Holy Spirit Cult has completely lost its value.

Meanwhile, a blood-red figure stood in the sky above the Dou Ling Continent, looking at the believers who offered him faith, a strange smile appearing on his cold face.

"How pathetic."

The Abyss, a cosmic cancer that devours the origin of planes, is also a problem for the Divine Realm, as the Plane Master within it are definitely First Rank God.

What can this dimension use to defend itself?

Not to mention—he has already formed an alliance with the Abyss.

Beside the God of Slaughter, the Devil Emperor, who had somehow arrived on the Dou Ling Continent, looked down at the humans with a smile on his face.

"If the God of God of Slaughter wishes, your followers may be preserved after the Abyss conquers the Douluo Plane."

"No need. Let them become sacrifices to the Blood River God-Slaying Grand Array. Your Abyss needs a true God Rank being as a vessel for the Abyssal Sage King's descent, doesn't it? The Demon Empress is just right."

The God of Slaughter glanced indifferently at the Devil Emperor, his words sending chills down the Demon Emperor's spine, "Or is it that your Sage King has set his sights on me? Wanting me as a vessel?"

The actions of the Abyssal Sage King could be concealed from the Holy Spirit Cult, but not from him; it's just that he didn't care about the fate of the Holy Spirit Cult.

The Devil Emperor's face showed fear, and he hurriedly bowed, saying, "God of Slaughter, please understand! The Sage King had no such intention! You are our important ally, and an indispensable force for conquering all realms in the future. We would never abandon our own power!"

His back was soaked with cold sweat, and he felt a wave of fear wash over him.

These Sage King had deliberately revealed their secrets to him for the sake of their plans, yet the God of Slaughter discovered clues from the slightest hints. Indeed, some things could not be hidden from this knowledgeable deity.

In fact, long after the Abyss Passage connected with the Douluo Continent, their Sage King's thoughts had already enveloped the Douluo Plane. However, he could not perceive anything, but he could feel strong negative energy.

The Holy Spirit Cult, those fools, sought the help of an evil god during their development. The Sage King discovered this and, using the evil god's name, bestowed miracles upon the Holy Spirit Cult, with the Blood River God-Slaying Grand Array being the most crucial element. His aim was to have someone within the Douluo ascend to godhood, becoming the foundation for his divine descent.

However, although the Holy Spirit Cult has developed well in recent years, the Douluo Federation is simply too strong. Back then Di Tian actually blocked the Fiery Emperor head-on. Therefore, in order to prevent the Holy Spirit Cult from being destroyed by the Douluo Federation before it could make any waves, and also to ensure the successful completion of the Blood River God-Slaying Grand Array, the Sage King sent them to Possession Demon to assist the Holy Spirit Cult.

However, even the Sage King probably didn't expect that there was actually a deity within the Douluo Plane and the Holy Spirit Cult.

When the Devil Emperor first learned of the God of Slaughter's existence, he was both shocked and terrified, fearing that the God of Slaughter would discover the Sage King's plan. However, the God of Slaughter's reaction exceeded his expectations; the God of Slaughter actually chose to cooperate with the Abyss, which dispelled his doubts. But now it seems that the God of Slaughter had known about the Sage King's plan all along!

Fearing the God of Slaughter's wrath, the Devil Emperor added, "With you, a god, opening dimensional passages in all realms, the Abyss's plan to devour all realms will proceed with unparalleled success. The Sage King Lord is by no means short-sighted."

The cooperation between the God of Slaughter and their Abyss Plane is not limited to just one Douluo Plane; the other party has used all the planes under the Divine Realm as bargaining chips!

It's very troublesome for the Abyss to invade other planes. Even if a plane doesn't have a conscious Plane Master, it will naturally reject them. But what if there's a human god inside who helps them open a plane portal?

Other planes may be different, but the planes under the jurisdiction of this Divine Realm will not prevent the God of Slaughter from entering. As long as they have the other party's help, the Abyss can enter as if it were empty, using all the former subordinate planes of the Divine Realm as nourishment!

Therefore, when the Sage King learned that a deity was willing to cooperate with him, he truly regarded the God of Slaughter as an ally, rather than a disposable pawn like those in the Holy Spirit Cult.

Glancing at the trembling Devil Emperor, the God of Slaughter withdrew his gaze, looked down, and recalled his own experiences, his killing intent surging.

The Divine Realm does not allow any gods to remain in the lower realms. On the Five Elements Continent, there was Second Rank God named Lie Yan. He went to enforce the law and capture him, but the other party perished together with him, and his Divine Consciousness was sealed by Ji Dong the Fire God Twin Swords.

Ji Dong grew stronger along the way, and eventually used Divine Tool to suppress and absorb his Divine Consciousness. All that remained of his Laws of Slaughter, divine status, Divine Spark Divine Position were protected within the Divine Tool, preserving the last imprint of his Divine Consciousness.

Even then, he felt that he would be saved by the Asura God.

However, Xiupu Ruosi never expected that Ji Dong and Lie Yan would be God King, and that his own Master had already passed on his Divine Position and left the Divine Realm!

Moreover, the Divine Realm has a decree that actions involving Second Rank God must be reported and approved before enforcement can be carried out. He violated this decree, and therefore he was punished by the two former God King and imprisoned in Divine Tool for a thousand days.

To this day, Xiupu Ruosi still remembers a passage that echoed in his ears when he learned of his punishment. He doesn't know if it was a hallucination he had in a moment of trance, or if Ji Dong had said it, but he always remembered it.

"The two God King ' order is to imprison you for a thousand days. Fine, sometimes living is more terrifying than dying. Then we'll continue to suppress you within the Divine Tool. If one day the two God King return, we'll completely erase you—by then, no one will care about a being forgotten by the Divine Realm."

Ultimately, he was indeed forgotten by the Divine Realm.

Ji Dong and Lie Yan have probably forgotten about him while they are busy with their love affair.

Until that day, in order to give the current Asura God time to recover his Divine Power, Ji Dong and Lie Yan took the initiative to confront the Golden Dragon King, which resulted in the damage to the Divine Tool, giving him the opportunity to escape.

Of all the gods, only Xiupu Ruosi, the God of Slaughter, was truly grateful to the Golden Dragon King, because it was through the latter that he had the opportunity to take revenge on the Divine Realm!

The God of Slaughter, standing above the Dou Ling Continent, suddenly let out a low, twisted laugh, his voice filled with endless resentment and madness.

"Possession Demon, tell the Abyssal Sage King that he can have my body, as long as he retains my Divine Consciousness, keeps the agreement, flattens each of the subordinate planes of the Divine Realm, slaughters all the living beings within, and finally gains enough power to kill the Kindness and God King of Evil who have been reincarnated in the subordinate planes of the Divine Realm. Everything I have can be given to him!"

During the ten thousand years he was sealed away, he was no longer the "enforcer" who upheld the laws of the Divine Realm.

Endless darkness, loneliness, and resentment, like the most vicious maggots, had long since devoured his original divinity, leaving only boundless hatred and a Destruction desire for the "Sealer," the "Forgotten Ones," the entire Divine Realm, and even the entire world.

His "killing" priesthood, immersed in this Ultimate negative emotion, underwent a terrifying distortion, becoming even more violent and disorderly, filled with pure destruction and annihilation.

But Xiupu Ruosi didn't care. As long as he could take revenge on the Divine Realm and the two successive good and evil God King, he would do anything!

The Gods come from all realms, and he will Destruction their entire homeland!

Upon hearing this, the Devil Emperor swallowed hard.

The God of Slaughter has gone completely mad. His usual indifference and arrogance have vanished, leaving only a pure, all-consuming desire for Destruction.

But for the Abyss —this is a good thing.

"I will inform the Sage King, but the Abyss needs you as an ally to deal with those gods, so let's give the Demon Empress some time," the Devil Emperor said tactfully.

"Can!"

Upon hearing the Devil Emperor's reply, Xiupu Ruosi laughed even louder and looked towards the Douluo Continent.

"Fire God? The Fire God Twin Swords that trapped me came from your predecessor. Let's start by taking some interest from you for this grudge."

His revenge began with killing Gods who came to Douluo —and with Destruction the entire Douluo Plane!
