Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Yang Ping'an sat down and thought carefully. Just as the King of the Strange said, ever since the Tower of Death entered his heart, or rather, after the Tower of Death recognized him as its master, Yang Ping'an seemed to have absolute control over this small world. As long as he made a move, the whole world could undergo earth-shattering changes.

Following this, Yang Ping'an began constructing the entire underworld according to the eighteen levels of hell described in the mythology of Blue Star, dividing the entire underworld into a full eighteen levels.

The outermost layer is the first layer, which is the legendary River Styx.

The River Styx appears to be like a sea of ​​blood, containing the power of reincarnation, and can also reveal a person's past and future.

The River Styx is the foundation of the entire underworld. It would be best to set up an automatic filtering mechanism to distinguish between the good and evil deeds in a person's life, and even to filter out the depth of their past sins.

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but think of the broken Thor's Hammer he had obtained in the Two Mountains. The lightning attribute was the nemesis of all evil in the world and had a very strong effect in identifying evil.

After some thought, Yang Ping'an took out the damaged artifact and then the Life Gold he had obtained from the Golden Tortoiseshell.

The Life Gold is a material known for being able to create divine artifacts and possesses ultimate life attributes. In this small world where he could have complete control, Yang Ping'an poured all his divine sense into Thor's Hammer. Under the guidance of his divine sense, the Life Gold seemed to gradually begin to fuse with the damaged Thor's Hammer, eventually forming a complete Thor's Hammer.

In particular, this complete Thor's Hammer was made by Yang Ping'an and took shape in this small world. It seems to have merged with the entire small world and become one of the supreme existences in the small world.

Yang Ping'an placed Thor's Hammer on the sea of ​​blood, using its terrifying lightning power to filter and stimulate all the souls.

The stronger the lightning power that a soul encounters, the heavier its sins in its previous life, and the deeper the realm it will go to.

After the sea of ​​blood is settled, each level of hell will require the relevant personnel to preside over it.

Yang Ping'an is all alone now, so he can't possibly recruit his acquaintances or friends from Douluo Star to do this kind of hard work.

But after thinking about it carefully, Yang Ping'an realized that he had hunted many spirit rings over the years, and each spirit ring contained a trace of the soul of a spirit beast in its previous life.

According to the rules of the Douluo Continent, once Yang Ping'an becomes a god, he can transform these remaining souls into divine souls, and even the original soul beasts into divine beasts.

Thinking of this, Yang Ping'an's heart stirred, and he began to communicate with the soul in each soul ring, expressing his willingness to give each soul beast a complete life, but the soul beast must become his subordinate and serve the underworld until he finds a new master for each level.

Although many soul beasts were killed by Yang Ping'an and harbored endless resentment, in this sea of ​​blood, especially in this underworld, it was better for them to follow Yang Ping'an's arrangements than for their souls to dissipate in the end. Perhaps this would be a great opportunity for them.

In the end, all the soul beasts agreed to Yang Ping'an's arrangement and gradually took shape under the influence of the power of reincarnation, all becoming the same as they were in their original lives.

Yang Ping'an's Golden Dragon's first soul ring was the Xuanjin Mingjia Turtle, which was also the weakest among all soul beasts. Therefore, Yang Ping'an arranged for it to be the master of the first layer of the underworld, responsible for guiding and controlling all souls.

The second layer of the underworld is governed by the Purple-Gold Dragon-Patterned Python, which is in charge of the second layer of hell, especially the punishment of souls in the second layer of hell.

The third level of the underworld is occupied by a terrifying dark gold dinosaur bear, while the fourth level is occupied by the golden crocodile king.

……

Following this logic, Yang Ping'an currently possesses seventeen spirit rings, but due to one divinely bestowed spirit ring, he only has sixteen spirit beasts, each residing in one of the first sixteen levels of Hell.

However, Yang Ping'an felt something was off, as if he had been tricked, especially when the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the Evil Eye Tyrant appeared. These two soul beasts seemed to have very strong remaining consciousness, as if they had planned it all along.

In particular, these two soul beasts were exceptionally obedient. Even without Yang Ping'an's arrangement, they wanted to enter the eighteenth level of Hell, which is the deepest level, the Lord of Hell.

After some deliberation, Yang Ping'an didn't think too much about it and directly placed the two soul beasts on the fifteenth and sixteenth floors.

When the Mysterious King said that Yang Ping'an had two spirit rings, he was initially a little skeptical. However, after careful consideration, he realized that he did indeed have two spirit rings: the Sea God's Divine Gift Spirit Ring and the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King Spirit Ring.

In Yang Ping'an's mind, the blood-red nine-headed bat king seemed extremely unwilling to be suppressed, and even though its strength was insufficient, it still wanted to fight back desperately.

Yang Ping'an didn't care about anything else. The black giant in his mind seemed to grab with all its might, and blood light filled the sky. The blood-red nine-headed bat king turned into fragments. At the same time, a blood-red soul ring appeared in his mind. Perhaps because the blood-red nine-headed bat king was in the form of energy, it did not give birth to a soul bone. Instead, the soul ring began to merge into Yang Ping'an's main body's ninth soul ring.

Regarding the choice of the ninth spirit ring, Yang Ping'an originally planned to use the divine spirit ring bestowed by the Sea God. However, after returning to the Death Forest this time, everything seemed strange. The strength of the Strange King appeared to be much weaker than before. Moreover, from his conversation, he learned that the God of Death's divine sense was probably no longer able to sustain the final test.

After much deliberation, Yang Ping'an realized that his tenth soul ring might require a divinely bestowed soul ring. Especially since Yang Ping'an possesses twin martial souls, the energy required is far greater than that of an ordinary god. He might need to condense two million-year soul rings, something the Grim Reaper probably couldn't do.

Therefore, Yang Ping'an ultimately decided to use the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King as his ninth soul ring. In particular, this soul beast could actually make a Limit Douluo like Tang Chen fall for its attack, and even almost made himself fall for it. In terms of mental strength alone, it was not much weaker than the Evil Emperor, and could be considered the best of the best.

The ninth spirit ring also gave Yang Ping'an two very good skills, and they seemed to be very suitable for his original spirit.

The first of the ninth soul skills of the main body martial soul: Blood Red Control, can emit a blood red mark. If the mark penetrates into the mind of another person, it can control that person, and that person will become like Yang Ping'an's puppet.

The second of the ninth soul skill of the main body martial soul: Blood Emperor's Wrath, a large-scale group attack skill that can emit a strange sound similar to a bat, enveloping the surrounding environment and forming a space similar to a domain, directly attacking the enemy's soul.

Yang Ping'an was quite satisfied with both of these soul skills, especially the second one. This skill was somewhat like a domain skill, capable of attacking enemies on a large scale or concentrating attacks on a single target, making it very powerful.

Especially after Yang Ping'an acquired these two skills, he felt that his control over his mind had become stronger. It seemed that he could control the actions of people around him over a large area with his mental power. If he combined mental control with the power of reincarnation, he could make people disappear without them realizing it.

Following Yang Ping'an's persuasion (and fist-based instruction), the remnant soul of the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King gradually took shape and eventually settled in the seventeenth level of Hell.

In fact, all the beings formed from the consciousness of the spirit rings seem to be under the control of this underworld, that is, under Yang Ping'an's control.

Yang Ping'an called the creatures formed by these surviving souls in the underworld the Underworld race. As the River Styx expands and the small world grows, it should eventually become a complete world, or even form a cycle of life and death.

What troubled Yang Ping'an the most was the eighteenth level of Hell, the most terrifying and cruel place in the world, even surpassing the Killing City of yesteryear. To guard this place required an extremely powerful soul, or at least a very strong will that could not be corrupted.

Logically, he should be personally in charge of this place, but Yang Ping'an himself wants to become a god and leave this world. He can't stay here in this state of neither life nor death for the rest of his life.

After careful consideration, Yang Ping'an made a decision and also made plans regarding the person in charge of the eighteenth level of Hell.

Yang Ping'an carefully sensed the situation in the entire underworld, and bowed slightly to a certain place in the space: "Lord Death, please come out and meet me."

The King of the Strange was originally chatting with the God of Asura, seemingly discussing the future development of Yang Ping'an and the Underworld, so he was a little surprised that Yang Ping'an would suddenly call him.

According to Yang Ping'an's design, the entire underworld is basically complete. Once the eighteen levels of hell are filled, a complete set of rules will be formed, and the entire underworld will form a complete order. At that point, Yang Ping'an's eighth trial as the God of Death will be complete.

The ninth test is crucial, as it relates to Yang Ping'an's ascension to godhood and even the attitude of the divine realm. Unfortunately, the God of Death has lost much of his power.

The King of Eeries asked the God of Asura, somewhat puzzled, "Why did this kid suddenly call me? Shouldn't he be almost finished with his assessment?"

The Asura God said, "This kid's mind is full of twists and turns, and his opportunities are frighteningly good. He has actually mastered so many divine artifacts in such a short time. It's a pity that his knowledge is too shallow. I'm afraid he doesn't even know that he's in the thick of it."

The Mysterious King smiled faintly: "There's no such thing as a scheme. This kid is smarter than you think. Even if you have some scheming, the day the Underworld is perfected will be the day he transcends. Even the gods and kings of the God Realm will be powerless against him."

"You may have some ulterior motives, but that's nothing more than trying to take advantage of the Underworld. As the ruler of the Underworld, he can take these things back at any time. I hope you don't end up losing more than you gain."

The Asura God looked at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler, and the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King in Hell. These three soul beasts seemed to have undergone a fundamental change. It was as if they had removed the original attributes of the soul beast race, and even the attributes of the Douluo Star creatures. They seemed to have completely become members of the Underworld, but they also seemed to have a completely different attribute, as if they possessed a trace of divinity.

Compared to other soul beasts, these three soul beasts have a very extraordinary origin and also possess some kind of hidden divine power. Their attributes seem to be similar to those of the three great god kings of the god realm.

It is precisely because of their formidable strength and powerful attributes that they are able to guard the last four levels of Hell, easily suppressing even the most ferocious souls.

In particular, they possess the power of evil, the power of destruction, and the power of Asura, respectively, making the entire underworld incredibly abundant. This can even promote the development of the underworld to a certain extent and make the rules of the entire underworld more perfect.

When Yang Ping'an saw the Strange King again, he felt that the Strange King's strength seemed to have decreased a lot, and it was even only at the level of the three Limit Douluo.

However, Yang Ping'an still spoke with exceptional respect: "Lord Death, I have a matter I would like to trouble you with. Perhaps only Lord Death can handle this matter."

The Mysterious King spoke calmly: "Your strength far surpasses mine, so why would you even think of me, a dying man?" (End of Chapter)
