"Emperor Augustus's goal is the Underworld?!"
Upon realizing this, the Lord of Ice Origin's expression suddenly changed, and the other Main God also paled.
A Main God murmured to himself, "So that's how it is. No wonder the Ancestor of Knights cooperated with the Undying Civilization and even went so far as to sign Astral Realm Contract with the Lord of the Undead. It was all for this Miracle Creation, the Underworld."
"After the Ancestor of Knights merged with Emperor Augustus, he had already reached the peak of the Supreme God level, only one step away from breaking through to Eternity. Perhaps he believed that the Underworld could help him ascend to Eternity?"
"No, I feel things aren't that simple. Neither Emperor Augustus nor the Ancestor of Knights have paths or styles that are compatible with the Underworld. A perfect fit, like that between the Sovereign of Fate and the Goddess of Fate, is extremely rare. Emperor Augustus wasn't a fool; he couldn't possibly be unaware of this. I think he must have other plans for obtaining the Underworld."
What are your plans?
"No matter how things change, the fundamental principle remains the Emperor Augustus must have been pursuing the ascension to Eternity, or rather, possessing certain qualities of Eternity existence. The Underworld can clearly help him achieve this goal."
"Based on this, we only need to delve into the abilities of the Underworld itself," said a slender, Main God- like being whose body was constructed like smoke, in a cold voice.
Her words also clarified the thoughts of the other Main God.
The Lord of Ice Origin frowned and pondered for a moment, his expression changing slightly.
The other Main God seemed to have also figured out the key point.
The powerful figures all spoke in unison, "World System!"
Yes, it's most likely due to the World System.
What is the most prominent characteristic of the Underworld?
Assimilation!
They assimilated other living beings into the dead.
Assimilate the normal material world into the Spirit Realm.
The vast northernmost region of the Flame Frost Continent had long since been transformed into a realm of the dead under the influence of the Underworld.
In that realm of the dead, even the World Will of the Flame Frost Continent could not contend with the will of the Underworld.
If it weren't for the later alliance of various small and medium-sized forces with the Knight Empire, forcibly compelling the Undying Civilization to stop expanding the Underworld's territory, it's possible that the Underworld would have already covered the entire Flame Frost Continent.
In addition, there are restrictions imposed by the World Will on the Flame Frost Continent.
Despite the frenzied expansion of the Undying Civilization, it has always been suppressed to a certain limit, thanks in large part to the World Will of the Flame Frost Continent.
However, all of the above is based on the premise that the combined power of the Knight Empire and the neutral forces can completely suppress the Undying Civilization.
Without this premise, the expansion of the Underworld would be unstoppable.
The World Will of the Flame Frost Continent is a normal World Will, unlike the Abyss Will, which possesses strong subjective initiative and can personally intervene to regulate the world's internal affairs and forcibly influence its development.
This means that, faced with the expansion of the Underworld, the World Will of the Flame Frost Continent will most likely be able to only watch helplessly, and may not even be able to call for support from the Earth Guardian.
The reason is that the Underworld only wants to erode the Flame Frost Continent, not to Destruction.
"Expansion and assimilation are the instincts of the Underworld. As Miracle Creation, the will of the Underworld is even weaker than the World Will."
"But the master of the Underworld can freely manipulate Underworld and control the world region where it Underworld."
"If the Underworld could cover the entire Flame Frost Continent, and the will of the Underworld replaced the World Will of the Flame Frost Continent, then controlling the Underworld would be equivalent to controlling the entire Flame Frost Continent."
The Lord of Ice Origin muttered to himself, finally understanding Emperor Augustus's intentions.
This ruthless emperor went to great lengths to seize control of the Underworld, hoping to use it as a springboard to control the entire Flame Frost Continent.
As the largest plane universe among the three super universes of the Astral Realm, the Flame Frost Continent possesses extremely abundant and powerful primordial power.
A full-force attack is enough to contend with Eternity existence for a certain period of time.
When it comes to defense, they are not afraid of the Eternal ' attacks at all.
If one could control the Flame Frost Continent and become its ruler.
First, the punishment imposed by the Astral Realm Will could not cause much harm to Emperor Augustus.
Most importantly, it could provide Emperor Augustus with an extremely stable base.
Even if Emperor Augustus fails to break through to Eternity in the future, causing his path to tremble and even suffer damage, resulting in a significant decrease in his strength, there is no need to worry about external enemies taking advantage of the situation.
If he successfully breaks free from the constraints of the Astral Realm River of Space-Time and ascends to the Realm of Eternity, the Flame Frost Continent, firmly controlled by Emperor Augustus, can serve as the foundation for his further advancement.
Compared to other major planes, the Flame Frost Continent is definitely the most likely in the Astral Realm to be promoted to a super plane.
The best outcome of Emperor Augustus's plan was that he would gain control of the Flame Frost Continent while simultaneously ascending to Eternity.
In one fell swoop, they caught up with those Eternal who had accumulated over countless years.
"Then why did Emperor Augustus suppress the Lord of the Undead?" a Main God asked.
The Lord of Ice Origin narrowed his eyes slightly and succinctly stated, "To obtain the key to unlock the Underworld!"
The other experts suddenly understood.
Yes, the Underworld, as Miracle Creation of the eleven stars, possesses immense power. Unless Eternal, it would be virtually impossible to forcibly take it over for one's own use while its master is still alive.
But when Emperor Augustus captured and suppressed the Lord of the Undead, the situation changed.
As the leader of the Undying Civilization, the Lord of the Undead is almost perfectly compatible with the Underworld. In other words, he was chosen by the Underworld from among countless undead beings, making him the most suitable being to rule the Underworld.
Using it as a springboard, Emperor Augustus was able to reach into the core of the Underworld and forcibly seize this Miracle Creation for his own use.
Of course, during this process, the other Undead Race will definitely fight to the death.
That's why Emperor Augustus was in such a hurry to go to the Underworld.
On one hand, the punishment from the Astral Realm Will came too quickly, making him dare not be careless or delay.
On the other hand, they should take advantage of the fact that the Undead Race are not fully prepared to launch a surprise attack and try to take over the Underworld in one fell swoop.
By harnessing the power of the Underworld, they will resist the punishment of the Astral Realm Will, then take control of the Flame Frost Continent, and finally use it as a foundation to attempt to ascend to Eternity.
This was Emperor Augustus's entire plan.
We must stop him!
Having understood all of this, the Lord of Ice Origin immediately spoke in a deep voice.
The other powerful figures exchanged bewildered glances, their faces grim.
Someone shook their head helplessly. "How can we stop them? The combat power of Supreme God at its peak is enough to send Ordinary Main God to their deaths. Our numerical advantage will be greatly reduced."
"Furthermore, Emperor Augustus is not without allies. Not all the powerful figures of the Knight Empire are as utterly disillusioned with him as Sanchez Emperor Augustus Ural. A large number of powerful members of the Emperor Augustus Barbarian Soul Race still fervently follow him. With their help, our hopes are even more remote!"
These words laid bare the reality facing everyone present.
Everyone was speechless.
After a moment of silence, one of the Undead Race Main God spoke up, "The key now is that no one can restrain Emperor Augustus, whose power has greatly increased. If we can do that..."
"Heh, if you could do that, you wouldn't need to waste your breath here." A powerful figure from a neutral faction immediately mocked. Normally, he probably wouldn't dare to speak to the Undead Race Main God like that.
But now, seeing the Undying Civilization on the verge of collapse and the strongest being, the Undead Lord of the Undead, being suppressed, many powerful figures no longer held back. Their words caused the Undead Race Main God to change repeatedly. He wanted to say something, but ultimately held back.
There was no other way; the Undead Race were now in need of their help, so they had to be accommodating.
