Chapter 996 A Thought Can Make You a God, Part 4
"What kind of power is this?" The Netherworld Emperor frowned as he examined Jiang Qiemo. This power had clearly transcended the constraints of the laws of the universe, broken through the level 100 limit, and entered another level.

The Netherworld Emperor sensed that Jiang Qiemo had reached the same level as her and the Devouring Spirit God, which greatly surprised her.

It is almost impossible for one person to reach this level.

The reason why the Netherworld Emperor and the Soul Devourer God were able to reach this level is because the Netherworld Emperor was born from the power of death in the universe, while the Soul Devourer God represents the power of life.

It can be said that the Netherworld Emperor and the Soul Devourer are two sides of the same coin in this world. In this universe, they have no rivals other than each other.

In fact, the Soul Devouring God came first. When the Soul Devouring God attempted to establish an immortal world and expelled the power of death from the Sky Mystic Spirits into the Earth Mystic Realm, the Netherworld Emperor was born.

At the beginning, the Netherworld Emperor's abilities were far inferior to those of the Soul Devouring God.

However, as the depleted energy grows stronger, the Netherworld Emperor, born from it, also becomes increasingly powerful.

Each time the Soul Devouring God cleanses the Earth's Secret Realm, it is not only to reclaim the energy belonging to the Sky Secret Realm, but also to destroy and kill the Netherworld Emperor.

As long as the Netherworld Emperor exists, there can be no truly immortal eternal kingdom. One day, he may break the Sky Realm and bring death back to the Sky Spirits.

However, because the Netherworld Emperor was born from death, he is almost impossible to truly kill.

After each defeat, the Netherworld Emperor would be resurrected in the Netherworld City.

Moreover, as more and more depleted energy is released into the Earth's Secret Realm, the Netherworld Emperor's abilities also become stronger, creating an unsolvable situation.

Until the last time the Soul Devouring God fought against the Netherworld Emperor, he was actually injured by the Netherworld Emperor, and a drop of his blood fell into the Earth Secret Realm.

It was at that time that the Soul Devouring God realized that it would be difficult to continue suppressing the Netherworld Emperor unless he gave up on building an immortal and eternal paradise, allowing the depleted energy to return to the Sky Spirits, thus depriving them of their ability to live forever.

The Immortal Paradise was the lifelong pursuit of the Soul Devouring God, and he was naturally unwilling to give it up.

It wasn't until the Soul Devouring God discovered the growth of humanity that a new idea came to him.

Since the Sky Spirits themselves cannot truly kill the Netherworld Emperor, nor can they solve the problem of their ever-increasing depleted energy, then perhaps humanity is the answer to the problem.

Humans are also born from depleted energy, but unlike the earth's mystical spirits, humans seem to be a completely new life form.

Humans are born from depleted energy, yet possess the ability to harness the life force, and also the capacity for death, existing independently of the celestial and earthly spirits.

Throughout countless generations, humanity has been an insignificant existence, lacking the capacity to actively participate in battles, at most serving as an auxiliary force to the earth's mystical spirits.

However, it was only in this generation, when the Emperor Ancestor rushed into the Sky Secret Realm, that the Devouring Spirit God began to take humanity seriously.

Because the Soul Devourer God discovered that humans can not only use the power of life, but also the energy of decay, and even act as a carrier of the energy of decay.

This is something even the Soul Devouring God couldn't do; it can be said that humans possess the characteristics of both the Soul Devouring God and the Netherworld Emperor.

It was around that time that the Soul Devourer God began to have a completely new plan.

Completely killing the Netherworld Emperor is almost impossible, but if humans can absorb a large amount of the depleted energy, then the Netherworld Emperor's power will become weaker and weaker, and he will no longer be able to pose a threat to the Sky Secret Realm.

Therefore, the Devouring God wanted to completely destroy Sky City, preventing its energy from flowing into the Earth's Secret Realm and severing the possibility of humans absorbing vital energy. In fact, what the Devouring God told Chen Guan wasn't entirely a lie.

However, he did not tell Chen Guan everything. After destroying Sky City, the Hanging Gardens replaced Sky City and became the new communication station between the two worlds.

Unlike the Sky City, the Sky Gardens can filter the life force and leave it in the Sky Secret Realm.

The depleted energy will continue to be discharged into the Earth's secret realm. When humans have no vital energy left, they can only absorb the depleted energy to cultivate.

Humans can still cultivate themselves, but the direction of cultivation is different.

Humans absorb the depleted energy to cultivate, thus stealing the power of the Netherworld Emperor, preventing her from growing stronger. She may even become weaker and weaker as the depleted energy is extracted by humans, and may eventually perish.

However, if humans cultivate by purely absorbing depleted energy, they will also be affected, becoming beings similar to the underworld. Although they won't truly become walking corpses, they will definitely be affected, especially their reproductive ability, which will definitely become worse and worse.

Because depletion energy is inherently opposed to the life force, how can a body that is filled with depletion energy reproduce and thrive?

Knowing the consequences, the Soul Devourer did not tell Chen Guan the complete information.

However, the Devouring Spirit God also miscalculated one thing. He did these things in advance, originally thinking that the Netherworld Emperor was not yet ready to be resurrected, and that he could finish all of this before the Netherworld Emperor was resurrected, so that the Netherworld Emperor would be helpless when he was resurrected.

However, no matter how much they planned, they never expected that Chen Guan would take away the "Peace Buckle," the artifact of life that the Devouring Spirit God used to suppress the Netherworld Emperor, causing the Netherworld Emperor to be resurrected and return earlier than the Devouring Spirit God had calculated.

Therefore, after Chen Guan took the safety buckle, the incarnation of the Netherworld Emperor, the Heavenly King, never truly appeared again.

That's because once her incarnation reappears and the Soul Devourer discovers that she no longer has the safety buckle, the Soul Devourer will know that she has truly been resurrected.

The premature resurrection of the Netherworld Emperor caused a major change in the Devouring Spirit God's plan.

The Netherworld Emperor believed that the Soul Devouring God could not truly transform himself into the Dao, and she did not stop Chen Guan and the others from the beginning, because the Netherworld Emperor also needed this opportunity.

Unlike the Devouring God, she needs Chen Guan and his group to break the Sky Tower, which represents life, to completely open the channel for communication between the two worlds, allowing the depleted energy to flow back into the Sky Secret Realm, thus completely shattering the immortal world created by the Devouring God and ruling the entire universe in one fell swoop.

This would save her a lot of time, so why wouldn't the Underworld Emperor do it?

Things went even more smoothly than the Netherworld Emperor had imagined. Without the obstruction of the Soul Devouring God, she seemed to have victory in her grasp.

However, the power that Jiang Qiemo unleashed at this moment seemed to have reached the level of her and the Devouring Spirit God, which seemed unlikely.

How can an ant that exists within the rules possibly escape them?
But at this moment, Jiang Qiemo was like a beacon in a desperate situation, illuminating all the human cultivators who had given up hope and allowing them to see other possibilities again.

Jiang Qiemo transformed into a ghost god and launched his strongest attack on the Netherworld Emperor without hesitation—an attack in his fourth, top-secret state.

The Netherworld Emperor finally made her move. With one hand supporting the Sky Garden, she used the other to meet Jiang Qiemo, who was approaching like a ghost or god.

boom!
At the point of their clash, spacetime was torn apart, creating a cosmic void that sucked everything around them into.
