Only after listening to Nuwa's explanations along the way did Wang Shi understand.
Not visiting the Underworld during this time had been a huge mistake.
The entire Underworld now had a fairly complete industrial system.
Various cultivation methods for ghost cultivators had also been developed one after another, forming a comprehensive system.
Most importantly, Nuwa had already raised Ghost Immortals during this time.
They might not yet be of much use on the battlefield.
But as time passed and the talents they nurtured continued to improve, the future certainly looked promising, didn't it?
"The Underworld has certainly been developed well, but doing this is also very dangerous."
"Pushing this sort of thing too quickly could easily cause chaos in the Underworld."
"And the cultivation system needs to be tested. Otherwise, its ceiling will be very low, and you could easily squander many talented cultivators."
"Most importantly, the dark invasion has already become extremely severe. Even many Saints have been affected. I'm afraid the entire Primordial World might fall before your reforms even bear fruit."
Houtu's brows knitted tightly as she looked at Wang Shi in confusion.
"Little Shi, don't scare me. I visited the front lines not long ago. They should be holding firm."
Wang Shi shook his head.
"That's only how it looks on the surface. In reality, the entire Primordial World is already in extreme peril."
"Many Saints have already been corrupted without even realizing it."
"You've probably entered the darkness too. I wouldn't dare guarantee that you haven't been affected."
"In fact, you'll need to be examined and cleared before you can come to the front lines with me."
Houtu frowned. What did he mean?
Could even I have been affected?
But why haven't I felt anything at all?
"Little Shi, don't frighten me. I'm easily scared."
