I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2095: Underworld Emperor Consciousness
"You... who are you?" Liu Jun's voice trembled a little, and his eyes were fixed on Long Aodi.

Long Aodi's smile deepened, as if he saw through everything in Liu Jun's heart. "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is who you are and who you want to be?"

Liu Jun felt a strong dizziness, as if the whole world was spinning. A picture suddenly emerged in his mind - it was an ancient battlefield, countless gods were fighting, and he was standing in the center of the battlefield, holding a long sword emitting the power of the netherworld in his hand. This long sword was the Nether Sword.

"Emperor of the Underworld..." Liu Jun muttered to himself, with a hint of unbelievable shock in his voice.

The surrounding netherworld power quickly surged towards Liu Jun, as if it had found its master.

Long Aodi's smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a serious and solemn expression.

A complex emotion surged in Liu Jun's heart, shock, fear, anger, and confusion intertwined.

"Why... why does it hurt so much?" Liu Jun's voice was a little hoarse. He covered his chest, his eyes full of confusion and pain.

Long Aodi looked deeply at Liu Jun with a complicated look in his eyes. "Because someone deceived the Hades Emperor and tricked him here, the power of the underworld here brings a sense of pain."

Liu Jun was surrounded by a thick underworld aura, as if even the air had frozen. His eyes fell on the ancient gods who had participated in the siege of the Hades Emperor in the distance. Their figures looked particularly weak under the cover of the underworld power.

Long Aodi stood beside him, looking at him with a complicated expression, and said in a low voice with a hint of pleading: "If you are willing to forgive those ancient gods who participated in the siege and killing you, then absorb all the netherworld power here, and they will be freed."

Liu Jun was silent for a moment, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He knew that although he had inherited the power of the Hades Emperor, the grudges of the Hades Emperor did not belong to him. The hatred between those ancient gods and the Hades Emperor had long become history with the fall of the Hades Emperor. He was not qualified to make any choices for the Hades Emperor, let alone decide the fate of these ancient gods.

Thinking of this, Liu Jun decisively stopped absorbing the power of the netherworld. Although part of his soul belonged to the Hades, he always believed that he was just an heir, not the Hades himself. He could not bear the hatred of the Hades, nor did he want these ancient gods to suffer eternal torture because of him.

However, the netherworld power did not dissipate when he stopped, but gathered around him crazily. The already icy air instantly dropped to freezing point, as if even time had been frozen.

Yang Xiao stood not far away. Although he had been dealing with Yin Qi and death Qi for many years, he could not help but feel a piercing chill at this moment. He wrapped his robe tightly around himself and looked at Liu Jun solemnly, feeling a little uneasy.

Long Aodi, who was closest to Liu Jun, was the first to be hit. His face turned pale instantly, and a thick layer of frost quickly formed on the surface of his body. His breathing became rapid, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but he did not retreat. Instead, he gritted his teeth and persisted, his eyes still fixed on Liu Jun, as if waiting for his decision.

At this critical moment, a powerful will suddenly emerged from the depths of Liu Jun's soul. That will seemed to come from ancient times, with endless majesty and power, and instantly took control of the situation.

Liu Jun felt his consciousness being pulled by an invisible force, as if someone was making a choice for him. That will guided the surrounding netherworld power into his body without hesitation, as if all this was taken for granted.

Liu Jun's body trembled slightly. He could feel the power of the underworld flowing through his body, bringing waves of piercing cold. However, that will made him feel extremely at ease, as if everything was under its control. He knew that this was the will of the Hades, and that the Hades had made the choice for him.

As the power of the netherworld was absorbed, the figures of the ancient gods gradually became blurred, and finally turned into dots of light and dissipated into the air. They had a look of relief on their faces, as if they had finally been redeemed from endless torture.

Liu Jun looked at the direction they disappeared in, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that it was all over, and the grudges of the Hades Emperor also came to an end with the disappearance of these ancient gods.

The frost on Long Aodi's body gradually melted, and his complexion returned to normal. He looked at Liu Jun deeply, with a hint of gratitude and awe in his eyes. He knew that although Liu Jun had only inherited the power of the Hades Emperor, the emergence of that will meant that the Hades Emperor had not really left. Perhaps, the will of the Hades Emperor would always accompany Liu Jun and guide him towards the future.

Liu Jun stood there, feeling the flow of the netherworld power in his body, but his heart was extremely calm.

The Hades had no intention of fighting for control of his body, and seemed to have simply come out to make a choice.

As the power of the netherworld entered Liu Jun's body, the entire netherworld valley underwent earth-shaking changes. The thick fog that originally shrouded the valley seemed to be pushed away by an invisible big hand, and the sunlight poured down like a golden waterfall, bathing the entire valley in warm light. The cold atmosphere in the valley was swept away, replaced by a vibrant and fresh feeling.

Liu Jun stood there, feeling the powerful force flowing through his body. A deep light flashed in his eyes, as if he could see through everything in the world. He looked down at his hands, and there were faint black runes flashing on his palms, which were the marks of the power of the netherworld.

At this moment, a breeze blew by, carrying the fragrance of soil and flowers. Liu Jun's eyes were attracted by the ground. On the land that was originally barren, patches of tender green seedlings emerged. These green seedlings grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, they grew into lush grass. There were even a few wild flowers swaying in the wind, as if celebrating the revival of this land.

"This...what's going on?" Liu Jun muttered to himself, his heart full of confusion and shock.

He raised his head and his eyes fell on Long Aodi who was not far away. Long Aodi was still standing there, watching everything with a complicated expression, and he seemed not surprised by the changes in front of him. "Tell me, who are you?" Liu Jun narrowed his eyes, with a hint of questioning in his tone, "If you say that this place has nothing to do with you, I can't believe it."

Long Aodi was silent for a few seconds, as if he was weighing something. Finally, he sighed and said slowly: "The soul of the person who tricked the Hades Emperor here has been reincarnated and is now called Long Aodi."

Liu Jun's pupils shrank, and a huge wave of emotion rose in his heart. He did not expect that this seemingly ordinary man in front of him actually had such a deep connection with the Hades.

"Then why didn't the will of the Hades in my body have any killing intention towards you when we met?" Liu Jun asked curiously, with a hint of confusion in his tone.

Long Aodi shook his head, looking somewhat lonely: "I don't know, maybe the Hades Emperor doesn't care anymore."

Liu Jun frowned, feeling that things were not that simple, but he had no better explanation.

"Now that the matter is done, Your Majesty, Senior Yang Xiao, I will not keep you here any longer." Emperor Long Ao bowed slightly, his tone carrying a hint of courtesy and urging, but his eyes revealed a bit of fatigue.

"Okay, let's go now, but I'm quite curious. So many ancient gods died here, but there was no legacy left behind? Why can't I see anything?" Liu Jun raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms, and looked around the valley, as if he wanted to find some clues in every corner.

The corner of Long Aodi's mouth twitched slightly, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and then he sighed softly and said in a low voice: "I kept some, it's not much, I didn't tell you because I thought you didn't need it."

"If you need it, give it all to me. You look like a rich young man with plenty of money. But I can't do that. I have so many people to support." Liu Jun stretched out his hand without hesitation, spread out his palm, and signaled Long Aodi to hand over all the things.

There was a hint of teasing in his tone, but his eyes were firm, and it was obvious that he was not going to let go of this opportunity easily.

Long Aodi shook his head helplessly, with a bitter smile on his face. He slowly took out an ancient storage ring from his sleeve. The ring was engraved with complex runes and flickered with a faint light. He gently handed the ring to Liu Jun and whispered, "It's all in here."

Liu Jun took the ring and his eyes stayed on it for a moment. Then he waved his hand gently and probed into the ring. In just a moment, his pupils suddenly contracted and a look of shock appeared on his face. Even though he was well-informed and had experienced countless storms, he was still shocked by what was inside the ring.

Inside the ring, mountains of spirit stones exude a rich spiritual energy. Each one is crystal clear, as if containing infinite power. They are absolutely top-grade spirit stones.

In addition, there are countless rare medicinal herbs, ancient magic weapons, and even some ancient books that have long been lost. Any one of these things is enough to cause a bloody storm.

Liu Jun took a deep breath and tried to calm down the shock in his heart. He raised his head and looked at Long Aodi with complicated eyes, with a hint of doubt in his tone: "These things...are you really willing to give them all to me?"

Long Aodi looked at Liu Jun who had already stuffed the ring into his pocket, and his cheeks twitched. "You've already put it in your pocket, and you're still asking? If he says he doesn't want to, what else can you do to take it out?"

"Your Majesty, these things are nothing but external possessions to me. You shoulder greater responsibilities, and these things may play a greater role in your hands." Emperor Long Ao said gritting his teeth.

Liu Jun was silent for a moment, as if he didn't see Long Aodi gritting his teeth, then he nodded and looked at Long Aodi with a hint of gratitude in his tone: "In that case, I'll accept it. However, I'll remember this favor in my heart."

Emperor Long Ao took a deep breath and smiled calmly: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. It is my honor to do my part for the people of the world."

"Okay, now that the work has been done, it's time for us to leave." Liu Jun turned and looked at Yang Xiao, nodding slightly.

Yang Xiao smiled slightly, looked at Long Aodi and said, "Great genius Long, see you later."

Long Aodi watched the two men leave until their figures completely disappeared from his sight, then he slowly withdrew his gaze. He stood in the empty valley, sighed, and murmured in a low voice: "I hope this war can end soon, and he can take that position sooner."

At this moment, a black shadow appeared silently behind Long Aodi, as if condensed from nothingness. The black shadow gradually condensed into shape, revealing Long Yingui's familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face.

Long Aodi turned his head slightly in surprise, frowning slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "You guy, when did Liu Jun let you go?"

Long Yingui said in a low and hoarse voice: "Before Liu Jun left, he went to the dungeon where I was imprisoned and asked them to release me."

Upon hearing this, Long Aodi's eyes flashed with a complicated look, and he sighed softly: "This Liu Jun, he is quite magnanimous."
