"One last question, is the Gate of Space one-way or two-way?" Ling Yi asked, looking at NS5.
"It's one-way, but the Matriarch once said that only those 180 people who have also mastered the Power of the Gods can remain unaffected by the Gate of Space."
"Thank you very much. From now on, you are their leader. You can go back now!"
Ling Yi already knew everything he wanted to know, and NS5's words further confirmed his suspicions.
"Sir, could you please give me a name?" NS5 asked, her voice slightly excited.
"From now on, your name will be Ling Yi!"
NS5—no, it should be Ling Yi —saw a surge of blue light in his eyes after hearing Ling Yi's words, but it quickly returned to normal.
However, within the Guangzhi, there was a faint trace of golden light.
"Thank you for your gift!" Ling Yi's expression became more human, as if he had undergone some kind of sublimation.
Ling Yi turned to Yan Yunfang and the others and said, "I'm going to take a test!"
After saying that, he pulled on the air, and a wooden door appeared out of thin air. After Ling Yi walked in, the wooden door and Ling Yi's Ying Yi.
"This guy is getting more and more mysterious," Bai Xiaoyao pouted in dissatisfaction.
"One hundred and eighty, one hundred and eighty-one, things are probably in trouble!" Yan Yunfang muttered to herself.
Ling Canghai once told her that since the birth of the Underworld, exactly one hundred and eighty-one Nether Domain Seal have been issued.
There are only 181 pieces.
The Nether Domain Seal wasn't actually issued by a powerful being in the Underworld, but rather...
Yan Yunfang looked up at the white sun in the sky.
If her guess is correct, then there will be 180 worlds invading the Underworld in the future.
The two invading worlds have already caused chaos in the Underworld. If 180 worlds were to invade simultaneously, the Underworld would become a battlefield for these worlds.
This made Yan Yunfang somewhat anxious, and she kept pacing back and forth.
"Grandma!" Fu Qingyun called out worriedly.
"If anyone in any of these 180 worlds Refinement the Nether Domain Seal, that would be a true catastrophe for the Underworld."
"Or has the Nether Domain Seal already been Refinement by people from other worlds?"
Just then, Ling Yi's voice suddenly rang out. "Sister, the Nether Domain Seal cannot be Refinement at all!"
Yan Yunfang looked up and saw Ling Yi walk out of a wooden door, which then abruptly disappeared after Ling Yi stepped out.
"What exactly happened?" Yan Yunfang asked anxiously.
"I was just guessing based on what Ling Yi said."
Of course, this also needs to be combined with what Ling Yi had read about Ling Canghai's life.
Although his great-grandfather was only 142 years old in spirit, he had actually existed in the Underworld for over three thousand years.
However, not as a spirit, but as Black Tortoise Guard, one of the Twelve Guards of the Reincarnation Palace.
The Reincarnation Domain is the residence of powerful beings in the Underworld, who control most of the Underworld's Authority.
The key point is that these Authority don't necessarily have to be held by the dead; half of them are held by living people.
The Twelve Guards were like that.
More than three thousand years ago, Ling Canghai was Bestowal the Nether Domain Seal by the Underworld because of his great Merit.
This refers to Ling Yi's current Nether Domain Seal.
Later, he was recruited into the Underworld in his A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality body and became one of the Twelve Guards, the Black Tortoise Guard.
But to become a Guardian, one must give up the Nether Domain Seal.
At that time, Ling Canghai was still clueless and unaware of the intricacies involved.
Although he abandoned the Nether Domain Seal, he did not take it to the Underworld Nether Domain Seal, but left it to his descendants.
In fact, there have always been people in the Underworld collecting the Nether Domain Seal.
As for who it was, Ling Canghai didn't know, but he had been investigating.
The Nether Domain Seal was projected from the core of the Underworld's origin, and it contains a portion of the Underworld's Power of Rules.
There are rumors in the Underworld that whoever Refinement the Nether Domain Seal will be able to completely control the rules of the Underworld and wield Underworld power.
The purpose of the person secretly collecting the Nether Domain Seal is self-evident.
However, only living people can Refinement the Nether Domain Seal.
Therefore, this person is definitely a powerful being living in the Reincarnation Domain in the Underworld and holding an important position.
It wasn't until 1,500 years ago that the man finally collected all 180 Nether Domain Seal.
However, the last Nether Domain Seal, the one that Ling Canghai left for his descendants, could not be found no matter what.
Afterwards, a great battle broke out among the powerful beings of the Underworld. Clearly, this person's conspiracy had been discovered by the other powerful beings.
Regardless of their motives, these powerful figures began to fight fiercely over the Nether Domain Seal.
This battle lasted for a full Wu Bai.
Until a thousand years ago, the then -Lord Yan of the Underworld, in order to prevent the collection of 181 Nether Domain Seal, forcibly Underworld at the cost of entering the Great Reincarnation of Reincarnation himself.
Thus, the passage between the Underworld He Yang realm was completely severed.
So what did Ling Canghai do during this process? He eked out a living!
In order to survive, Ling Canghai ran directly to the border of the Underworld and watched these powerful beings fight until the sky darkened.
Unfortunately, Ling Canghai was still found by the Vermilion Bird Guard and forced to join the battle.
However, he still just drifted through life, never joining the fray during fights, and never uttering a single extra word on the battlefield, preferring to keep a low profile whenever possible.
If his side wins, he'll make a token effort to chase after them; if his side loses, he'll be the first to run away.
The Combat, which lasted for Wu Bai, finally ended when the Underworld was sealed away by Lord Yan.
In order to reopen the passage between the Underworld He Yang realm and retrieve the last Nether Domain Seal, these powerful beings had no choice but to relinquish their own Magic Power, return to the origin of the Underworld, and enter the Great Reincarnation, just like Lord Yan.
The same applies to the Twelve Guards.
However, at the very last moment before the other guards entered the Great Reincarnation, Ling Canghai directly gave the Guard Token, which represented his own authority, to the Vermilion Bird Guard.
He himself, quite Old Liu, remained in the Underworld.
But without the authority of the Underworld Guard Token, he, a living person, could not survive in the Underworld for long.
Ling Canghai had taken this into account as well, since he had already anticipated the consequences when he stayed behind.
Relying on its past resources, it managed to survive in the Underworld for over six hundred years.
Then he Reincarnation as a living person.
Although the living Reincarnation and have no memories of the past, they can still define their own Obsession.
In other words, Ling Canghai had set himself the Obsession of finding and collecting Nether Domain Seal before his reincarnation.
During Ling Canghai's reincarnation, his Obsession manifested as a powerful Thought Spirits in the Underworld, Thought Spirits that had developed sentience.
It wasn't that Ling Canghai had great ambitions, but rather that after experiencing the Wu Bai war in the Underworld, he had no good impression of any of the powerful figures except for Lord Yan.
Completely disregarding the lives of ordinary undead, in the Wu Bai war, more than 60% of the undead in the Underworld perished.
They're a bunch of bastards.
Since these bastards have entered the Great Reincarnation, then none of them should come back.
I might as well have my Thought Spirits collect the Nether Domain Seal and destroy them directly.
Despite all his calculations, Ling Canghai never anticipated that his Thought Spirits would spiral out of control.
Thought Spirits has developed its own consciousness and has begun causing trouble in the Underworld. It has not only successfully collected 180 Nether Domain Seal, but also found a way to reactivate Nether Domain Seal.
Thought Spirits resolved the issue of Sharing memories with Ling Canghai, so Ling Canghai had no idea what Thought Spirits had done during his reincarnation.
That's not the worst part. The worst part is that Thought Spirits is worried that Ling Canghai will cause trouble, so every time Ling Canghai is reincarnated, he directly sends Ling Canghai back to the Reincarnation.
And so, Ling Canghai Reincarnation, until this very last one.
His Thought Spirits then tricked hundreds more Thought Spirits into working together, and at the cost of exhausting their own power, they successfully activated the Nether Domain Seal Nether Domain Seal, forcibly sending it to another world.
Furthermore, they imbued the Nether Domain Seal with the individual Obsession of these Thought Spirits.
Of course, the following content was all based on Ling Yi's combination of Ling Canghai's life story and Xiao Xi's own guesses from what she asked Ling Yi.
Although it's just a guess and might deviate from the actual situation, Ling Yi believes the deviation shouldn't be significant.
Ling Yi gave a wry smile and said to Yan Yunfang, "Sister, there are some things that are not the time to talk about now, but as you guessed, the Underworld is likely to be in quite a bit of trouble."
"So, it's really true that 180 worlds will invade the Underworld?"
Ling Yi shook his head. "The purpose of these worlds is not the Underworld, but other Nether Domain Seal!"
I don't know how Ling Canghai's Thought Spirits managed to crack part of the Nether Domain Seal's functions.
Yan Yunfang understood Ling Yi's meaning, and her eyes were full of worry.
"So, what should we do next?"
"When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it!"
Hearing Ling Yi's relaxed tone, Yan Yunfang also inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
Ling Yi then looked at NS5 Ling Yi and instructed him, "Invaders from the Muyou Continent are about to appear. You take your people and go to the Gate of Space to guard it."
He paused, then added, "I will take 80% of the intercepted Soul Points."
Ling Yi bowed and said, "I will obey your will."
Ling Yi nodded, and with a wave of his hand, he opened a light gate a hundred meters high. A flash of light appeared in Ling Yi, and the next moment, more than 7,000 NS5s began to move.
They marched in orderly steps and entered the portal of light, on the other side of which was another purple portal.
This is the Gate of Space connecting the Muyou Continent to the Underworld.
"No continent? It's the world of green-skinned monsters?" Yan Yunfang asked curiously.
"It's the Muyou Continent, so it doesn't matter. Those green-skinned monsters are called Undead Goblin; they're basically the cheapest cannon fodder army on the Muyou Continent."
"It belongs to magical Summon and can also be considered a semi-undead life form."
"How exactly do you know all this?" Before Yan Yunfang could speak, Zhan Yan asked first.
"See, that's a good question. The key point is, I also want to know how I know all this."
This is the question Ling Yi needs to figure out next.
His Nether Domain Seal was clearly abnormal; not only was it used by himself, but it was also completely digitized.
The Nether Domain Seal keeps up with the times? What a load of rubbish!
The Nether Domain Seal is an inanimate object and should not have its own will, but now, it's hard to say.
In any case, the problem either lies with Nether Domain Seal or with himself.
Don't forget the data Ling Yi obtained when he [ Probe ] himself.
With so many unanswered questions and unknowns, Ling Yi would never believe he was completely innocent.
Even the race is a question mark and unknown; isn't that absurd?
But no matter what, improving our strength is the key.
Only when we have enough strength will we eventually see the clouds part.
To increase one's strength, a large amount of Soul Power and Merit is required.
The NS5 invading robot army from the Mechanical Enemy's side cannot grant me Soul Power, but it can grant me a large amount of Merit Points.
The newly invading monsters from the Muyou Continent each possess over two hundred points of Soul Power.
Therefore, Ling Yi sent Ling Yi to guard the Space Portal over there.
Since these NS5 licensors are themselves, Ling Yi has the right to distribute the Soul Power they obtain by killing invading monsters, thanks to the Nether Domain Seal.
This is true Soul Power, achieving both Merit and virtue!
