The Underworld Won't Allow It? Yu Xiaogang's Proposal!
Countless ghosts dropped to one knee at once.
Their Yin Qi gathered into a sea, and the terrifying pressure of their souls surged straight into the sky.
The Netherworld, once chaotic and disordered, became perfectly orderly at that moment.
Ghostly figures formed ranks in neat military formations.
At the front stood ghost soldiers wielding netherworld sabers.
In the middle stood ghost generals clad in black armor.
At the rear was a vast legion of ghosts.
Every ghost gave off the presence of a strengthened soul.
They lacked the flesh-and-blood bodies of ordinary soldiers, yet possessed combat abilities far beyond those of ordinary departed souls.
Even more astonishingly, as the ghosts continued to gather, the strength of the entire legion began to resonate.
Yin Qi gathered, and soul light intertwined.
In the end, they formed a netherworld battle formation that shrouded heaven and earth!
At that moment, what Meng Po Bibi Dong had created was no longer a group of ordinary ghosts.
It was a true army of the Underworld!
Beneath the sky screen, the Douluo Continent erupted.
"My heavens! That's terrifying!"
"Is that the Underworld's army? They don't need to eat or rest, and they can recover from injuries?"
"As long as their souls haven't completely dissipated, they can take form again? Doesn't that mean they can't be killed?"
"If the Underworld has an army like that, who can stop them?"
"Hahahaha! Good! That's wonderful!"
For the common people, the appearance of this ghost army undoubtedly showed them a brighter future.
Previously, Zhong Tian had used the Good and Evil Reward and Punishment Token to judge the nobles, making those forces responsible for countless evils pay the price.
But the Underworld still needed to establish order on Douluo Star.
If one day those nobles refused to accept judgment and even gathered Soul Masters to rebel, what would happen then?
Now, Bibi Dong had revealed her own methods.
A netherworld legion that could continually recover, nearly impossible to kill or destroy!
This meant the Underworld now possessed even greater military strength.
How much advantage would the nobles who had once run rampant, relying on their families' power, private armies, and high-level Soul Masters, have left against such an army?
The common people who had once suffered under the nobles' oppression were especially unable to contain their excitement.
"That settles it! Even if those nobles want to rebel, they'll have to ask the Underworld if it allows it first!"
"The stronger the Underworld is, the more hope there is for ordinary people like us!"
"Those Soul Master families used to lord it over everyone and never even treated us like people! Now there's finally someone who can keep them in check!"
"Long live Lady Bibi Dong! Long live Lady Meng Po!"
Cheers rang out across the continent.
Yet compared with the excitement of the common people on Douluo Star, the atmosphere in the Divine Realm was especially heavy.
This was especially true for the Shrek Seven Devils.
When they saw that Meng Po Bibi Dong could create a ghost army that was nearly impossible to kill or destroy, their faces all darkened.
They had already witnessed Zhong Tian's methods.
The Good and Evil Reward and Punishment Token could judge departed souls, and the Eighteen Levels of Hell could punish evil.
Now Meng Po had demonstrated a soul-strengthening technique and could even turn the vast numbers of ghosts in the Underworld into an army.
This meant the Underworld not only had powerful ghost gods at the top, but also possessed terrifying potential for war!
What did ordinary powers fear most?
Nothing more than an enemy that was powerful, had ample troops, and simply could not be completely wiped out.
And now, the Underworld seemed to have all three!
Dai Mubai's expression was grave as he said:
"This ghost army... is far too troublesome."
Zhu Zhuqing said nothing, but her brow was tightly furrowed.
She knew very well that if such an army appeared on Douluo Star, even if the major noble powers joined forces, they might not gain the upper hand.
Oscar was equally shocked.
"If these ghosts really can keep recovering, ordinary Soul Master legions won't be able to stand against them."
"What's more, the Underworld also has Zhong Tian and the other ghost gods."
Hearing this, Ma Hongjun could not help swallowing.
He had originally thought the Underworld's power was mainly concentrated in judgment and reincarnation.
But now, it seemed the Underworld had acquired a true system of warfare.
And that system was still being refined!
Ning Rongrong's expression was equally grim.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had once relied on its wealth and support Soul Masters to hold a position of great influence on the Douluo Continent.
But against a netherworld legion that needed no conventional supplies and could even keep recovering, how much of an advantage could a traditional sect bring to bear?
For a moment, the Shrek Seven Devils all felt unprecedented pressure.
Tang San stared fixedly at the sky screen, a shadow crossing his eyes.
He had already regarded the Underworld as his greatest threat.
Now, Meng Po Bibi Dong's appearance made him realize that his previous assessment of the Underworld had probably been far too conservative.
If such a ghost army really entered Douluo Star, his earlier plan to unite the noble powers against the Underworld would likely meet with even greater resistance.
After all, although the nobles possessed wealth, Soul Masters, and their families' accumulated resources, they might not be able to withstand a sustained assault from an army that was nearly impossible to kill or destroy.
At that thought, Tang San finally spoke.
"It seems we must reassess the threat Meng Po Bibi Dong poses."
His voice was low, and his expression was extremely serious.
"Zhong Tian has already demonstrated the Underworld's power of judgment, and now Meng Po can create a netherworld legion like this."
"If we continue to let the Underworld develop, all of Douluo Star may fall under their control."
Tang San looked over the people beside him.
"We must take this army seriously."
The Shrek Seven Devils beside him nodded one after another.
They had realized that the Underworld was far more terrifying than they had imagined.
Yu Xiaogang agreed wholeheartedly.
He knew very well that Bibi Dong was not someone who would give up easily.
Back when she was Pope of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong had possessed an intense desire for power and a formidable ability to act.
Now she had become the Underworld's Meng Po and mastered such a terrifying soul-strengthening technique.
If she also received a reward from the sky screen and her strength increased further, the power she could wield would only be more astonishing!
At that thought, Yu Xiaogang's expression grew graver.
"We can't wait any longer."
He spoke slowly, his tone carrying a measure of resolve.
"The Divine Realm must expand its influence on Douluo Star as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the Underworld truly completes its preparations, we'll lose the initiative entirely."
With that, Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San.
"We decided earlier to unite the noble powers threatened by Zhong Tian's judgment. Now we must act faster."
"These nobles possess wealth, Soul Masters, and their respective families' forces. As long as we unite them, we can form a power on Douluo Star strong enough to keep the Underworld in check."
"Otherwise, once Meng Po Bibi Dong descends upon Douluo Star with this netherworld legion, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Yu Xiaogang's voice grew firmer.
He no longer intended to wait and watch.
The stronger the Underworld became, the more urgently the Divine Realm needed to act.
Hearing his words, Tang San slowly nodded.
Clearly, they had all realized that the Divine Realm was running out of time.
If they could not unite the noble powers on Douluo Star soon, everything might be too late once the Underworld truly took its next step.
Thus, under the gazes of the assembled Shrek Seven Devils, Yu Xiaogang finally made up his mind.
They had to act immediately!
They had to unite the many nobles of Douluo Star as soon as possible!
They absolutely could not let the Underworld continue to develop like this!
