Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

"It seems the divine realm doesn't intend to fight us head-on, but rather wants to cower like a tortoise."

Na'er chuckled.

She returned to the realm of gods after many years, truly feeling triumphant.

Both she and Gu Yue were separated from the Silver Dragon King and possess all of the Silver Dragon King's memories.

When she fled the God Realm, she was in a great panic. Severely injured, she fled for an unknown period of time before finally falling into a deep sleep in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Now, she has ascended to the realm of gods once again, but as a conqueror. What could be more delightful for her than this?

Ning Qiuyang nodded slightly.

"If the divine realm wants to cower like a turtle, then let it watch as the divine realm is gradually devoured."

Apart from the area within a hundred miles where Ning Qiuyang and his group landed, the rest of the area was shrouded in layers of defense.

But this area within a hundred miles is being assimilated by the underworld.

The divine realm is of a much higher level than the abyss realm, so the invasion of the underworld realm is much slower, but it is still ongoing.

Given enough time, assimilating and devouring the entire divine realm would not be a problem.

"Someone has arrived, no, it should be said that a deity has arrived."

After layers of defenses, a blurry group of figures rapidly approached.

"Hey, you're about to meet your old friend. How are you feeling?"

Na'er asked the goddess of life.

Although the Goddess of Life entered the cycle of reincarnation and became the Goddess of Reincarnation in the Underworld, Na'er still had some opinions about her.

Unlike her, Gu Yue didn't have any bad opinions about the Goddess of Reincarnation.

Even if two people have the same memories, their perspectives are different, leading to different conclusions and feelings.

“That is a friend of the Goddess of Life, not a friend of the Goddess of Reincarnation. I am now a deity of the underworld.”

The Goddess of Reincarnation remained unfazed and did not shy away from Na'er's question in the slightest.

However, neither she nor Na'er could have imagined that none of the three former God-Kings remained in the God Realm; only two newcomers had joined.

"Since you're here, why be so timid? Why not come out and greet us?"

Ning Qiuyang saw that the people from the divine realm had clearly approached, but were reluctant to get any closer or reveal their forms.

"You are Ning Qiuyang."

In a certain direction, the light from all the defenses disappeared, revealing a group of people from the divine realm.

Although the light disappeared and the obstruction to vision and mental power was removed, the defense still remained.

This is also why Ji Dong and the others have not shown up yet.

When the two sides were able to see each other clearly, many gods in both camps were greatly surprised.

"Lord God of Life, you...you're still alive?"

The goddess of life has become the goddess of reincarnation. Many things have changed, but her outward appearance remains almost the same. Only her gentle compassion has turned into indifference and tranquility.

The appearance of the goddess of life greatly surprised the gods of the divine realm.

They all thought the goddess of life was dead, and even her divine position had vanished. They never expected that the goddess of life was still alive.

This discovery surprised the gods of the divine realm, and disbelief and anger followed.

The goddess of life is still alive, but she openly stands on the side of the enemy of the divine realm. What this symbolizes is obvious to anyone who isn't a fool.

"That's the goddess of life?"

Flame looked at the Goddess of Life with curiosity, its gaze seemingly able to see through countless lifetimes, for her life level was even higher than that of the God-King. The gods of the divine realm wore complex expressions.

"She was indeed the goddess of life in the divine realm, and one of the five god-kings, but now..."

He can't say for sure what's going on now, but anyone with eyes can see it.

Ji Dong didn't know anything about the five former God Kings, but he couldn't help but think of the God of Destruction with whom he had fought a great battle.

He understood why the God of Destruction had become what it was today; defeat and being deceived were among the reasons, but the main reason was the fall of the Goddess of Life.

But the Goddess of Life is alive and well now, and seems to be even better than before, which makes Ji Dong feel full of sympathy for the God of Destruction who has gone mad.

If the God of Destruction knew about this, I wonder if he would be stimulated to regain his composure, or if he would feel even more ridiculous and pathetic, thus going even crazier.

"Your Majesty, not only is the Goddess of Life still alive, but many of the gods who fought against the underworld have also survived."

The fact that their former colleagues from the divine realm were right across from them made both sides feel somewhat awkward.

Ji Dong's eyes flickered.

He knew that the conflict between the divine realm and the underworld stemmed from the divine realm's covetousness of the underworld.

The discovery that many of the gods who invaded the underworld with the God King have survived at least proves that the underworld, or rather Ning Qiuyang, is not a ruthless person. This is something worth discussing.

"Mr. Ning, I am Ji Dong, and I pay my respects."

Ji Dong was unsure how to address Ning Qiuyang. He wanted to resolve the conflict as much as possible, so calling him by his name was obviously inappropriate. In the end, he chose the way that mortals interact.

"Are you the new god of evil?"

Ning Qiuyang countered with a question.

"That's right. I was favored by the former God-King and entrusted with important responsibilities. I have only recently succeeded to the position of God-King."

This time, many people in the underworld who were once gods were surprised.

They had never met Ji Dong and Lie Yan before, and seeing them with the gods of the divine realm, they assumed they were newly ascended deities.

Unexpectedly, they were indeed newly made gods, but the one they achieved was the God-King.

“They’re all quite cunning. They’ll run away as soon as things turn bad. The God of Evil and the God of Good have run away, but what about the God of Destruction?” Na’er said.

Besides the God of Asura, the person she most wanted to take revenge on was the God of Destruction.

Ji Dong narrowed his eyes. That's the downside of being a newcomer; there are many people he can't recognize, whether they're enemies or his own people.

A deity beside Ji Dong whispered a hint:

"This woman is the Silver Dragon King, no, she should be a part of the Silver Dragon King. Anyway, she also has hatred with the God Realm, no less than the hatred between the Underworld and the God Realm, and even greater. After all, the Underworld has not been occupied by the God Realm, and it has not even caused much damage."

Ji Dong had a headache.

The former God of Evil and God of Goodness left in a hurry, but they gave special instructions regarding the sealing of the Golden Dragon King.

They didn't say anything about the origins of the Golden Dragon King or why he was sealed away. They only said that the Golden Dragon King was a powerful enemy subdued by the gods, and that he must not be allowed to escape.

Judging from their names, the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King are of the same clan, or even relatives of the Silver Dragon King.

The predecessors committed too many sins and had too many enemies who clashed with the divine realm. How could he, the newcomer, possibly resolve this?

“The God of Destruction is not in the God Realm either,” Ji Dong replied simply, then looked at Ning Qiuyang.

“Mr. Ning, I am the God King of the Divine Realm, and you are the Ruler of the Underworld. This is our first meeting, and we have no enmity. Would you be willing to set aside our dispute for the time being and sit down to talk? I have prepared some fine wine. Would you be willing to drink with me, Mr. Ning?”

Unless absolutely necessary, Ji Dong really doesn't want to go to war with the underworld.

The power of the gods in the underworld exceeded his expectations, and he had little confidence in the divine realm should war break out. (End of Chapter)
