I subdue demons and monsters, and cultivate immortality in hell to become a saint.

The sky was like a huge, bright mirror, reflecting everything on the ground with perfect clarity.

"Look! I see Kyoto! And the Meng River, and the vast ocean!"

"My God! That's a wonder of our country, clearly reflected in the sky!"

"Look to the west! It's all scorched earth, desolate and uninhabited. That place is practically a paradise for demons and monsters!"

Scientists frantically recorded everything on the sky and reported all the detected information to higher authorities as soon as possible.

The higher-ups immediately convened an emergency meeting to discuss the matter. Among the attendees were representatives from various cultivation factions stationed in Kyoto.

Such extraordinary changes in nature, which transcend the realm of science, can perhaps only be answered by cultivators.

"In my opinion, this is a sign of the revival of spiritual energy! Perhaps on the day the celestial curtain falls, the entire world will be rebuilt!"

A seasoned practitioner present offered an accurate assessment.

The spiritual energy has been restored!

So this is what the revival of spiritual energy looks like?

Old Jiang was deeply shaken. As he gazed at the increasingly clear sky, a storm raged within him.

The spiritual energy has been restored, and it has descended upon the world in a way that is completely unimaginable to ordinary people!

"Immediately release this information to the public to stabilize public sentiment and prevent panic from spreading!"

The authorities immediately issued a statement revealing the truth.

At this moment, within the territory of Yanhuang Kingdom, the people were still deeply mired in the despair of the "planet collision." This news was undoubtedly a shot in the arm, instantly igniting everyone's hope.

"Did you see the official announcement? It's not a planetary collision! It's the revival of spiritual energy!"

"Holy crap! This is what the revival of spiritual energy looks like? It's absolutely astounding!"

"Unbelievable! The officials say the image on the sky is a reflection of the world, is that true?"

Upon learning the truth, the people were instantly invigorated, their panic largely dissipated, and they began discussing the matter enthusiastically.

Some people stubbornly insist that this is just a lie used by the authorities to appease people, and they do not believe in the so-called spiritual revival at all.

Initially, this statement was echoed by many people, but just half a month later, no one questioned the official announcement anymore.

The "alien star" (sky) drew closer and closer, almost taking up half the sky, and the scene on it was so clear that it seemed within reach.

The blue sky and white clouds that used to be visible when you looked up have long been replaced by the sky. When you look up, all you see is the reflection of the city where you live.

That enormous canopy of sky is gradually swallowing up the heavens, perfectly replicating everything on the ground onto the horizon.

"Look! There are skyscrapers in the sky, just like the ones in our city!"

"It's more than just similar! I can see my neighborhood in it, it's so familiar!"

"The official report wasn't lying! This truly reflects the world!"

People have long lost their will to work. With such a momentous event that could upend the world approaching, who has the mind to care about trivial matters?

Humans, demons, and ghosts all over the world looked up at the sky, their hearts filled with both nervousness and trepidation, as well as an undisguised anticipation.

"My lord, once the spiritual energy resurges, will it completely alter the balance of power in the world and affect the status of my underworld?"

The officials of the City God's Mansion cautiously questioned Zhong Jiu.

At this moment, the azure sky was already mostly covered by the canopy, and the reflections on it became increasingly clear, with familiar buildings, streets, and even figures clearly visible.

That canopy in the sky was like a giant mirror suspended in mid-air, reflecting everything in the world in its entirety as it drew closer.

Zhong Jiu spoke calmly, his tone filled with absolute confidence: "No matter how the world changes, my Underworld will always remain the Underworld, and no one can shake that!"

He knew in his heart that such a tremendous commotion had caused many of the underworld deities in the City God's Palace to feel confused, fearing that their own status would be affected.

Zhong Jiu remained calm and confident. The revival of spiritual energy was the prelude to a great era, and his underworld was already at the forefront of that era!

No matter how the situation changes, it will absolutely not harm the underworld in the slightest.

Moreover, Zhong Jiu had a vague premonition that this resurgence of spiritual energy might be an immense opportunity for the Underworld!

To verify his suspicions, Zhong Jiu moved swiftly and stepped directly into the underworld to investigate.

The underworld remained unchanged, desolate and bleak, with endless grayness as far as the eye could see.

"The underworld is incomplete!"

Zhong Jiu thought to himself, when he first came to the Underworld, he was too weak to notice anything, but now his strength has changed dramatically and his vision is far beyond what it used to be. He saw through the clues at a glance.

Logically speaking, the underworld should be as large as the mortal realm, or even more expansive, and certainly not as it appears before us.

But when he opened his divine eyes and focused his mind to investigate, he discovered that the Underworld was actually just a medium-sized world.

If it is merely a medium-sized world, what merit or ability does it possess to bear the existence of the underworld?

Zhong Jiu strode towards the River of Oblivion. On the surface of the river, the seemingly calm and still, blood-yellow water, which actually concealed a deadly danger, continued to flow silently and slowly.

He raised his hand and waved it. A golden light flashed, and the Naihe Bridge, which the system had rewarded him with after destroying the Silent City, instantly appeared on the River of Oblivion and was placed steadily.

When Zhong Jiu first obtained the Bridge of Helplessness, he felt that the underworld was too empty and that it would be meaningless to place the Bridge of Helplessness there. Therefore, he never came to the underworld again.

Now that he had properly placed the Bridge of Helplessness, he stepped onto it.

After crossing the Bridge of Helplessness, Zhong Jiu looked back and saw that the River of Oblivion was instantly shrouded in a thick white mist, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

Even the Bridge of Helplessness that they had just crossed had disappeared into the white mist, and there was no way back.

"Once you embark on the path to the underworld, there is no turning back."

The words popped into Zhong Jiu's mind, but a disdainful smile curled at the corner of his mouth. These words might apply to others, but to him, they were pure nonsense!

He raised his hand again and waved it gently. The white mist instantly dissipated, and the River of Oblivion and the Bridge of Helplessness reappeared clearly before his eyes.

Zhong Jiu strode to the other side of the River of Oblivion, his divine sense spreading out without reservation, enveloping the entire underworld.

In an instant, he realized that with the placement of the Bridge of Helplessness, the original incomplete rules of the underworld were partially completed, the ends of heaven and earth were slowly expanding, and the area of ​​the underworld was visibly growing larger.

The creatures lurking in various parts of the underworld are also subtly benefiting from the completion of the rules, and their auras are becoming more and more vibrant.

"So, the root cause of the incompleteness of the underworld is the incompleteness of its laws."

Zhong Jiu stopped and stopped moving forward. Ahead was still an endless wasteland. Before he could exchange for a new underworld building, there was no point in him going any further.

But this trip to the underworld confirmed his suspicions.

This world not only lacks a complete underworld, but even its cultivators remain at the most primitive and lowest level.

From another perspective, according to the Yin-Yang duality of Blue Star, this world is like an undeveloped game program, with the edges of the map still in darkness and not fully illuminated.

Alternatively, if the mirror image of the sky overlaps with it, it can fill in the gaps and create a complete world.

Zhong Jiu's current strength has already exceeded the upper limit that this world can accommodate. This alone is enough to show that not only the rules of the mortal realm, but also those of the underworld are incomplete.

The rules of the mortal realm are flawed, and there are no conditions for the emergence of great supernatural beings. The upper limit of cultivators is suppressed.

Although the power ceiling in the underworld is slightly higher than that in the mortal world, those hidden powerhouses are also subject to many restrictions. Even if they reach the required level, they will find it difficult to fully unleash their strength.

Zhong Jiu himself is the best example. He has already broken through the limitations of the world, but the power he can exert now is not even one-tenth of his true strength!

"I understand!"

A brilliant light flashed in Zhong Jiu's eyes, and his mind became completely clear. "The revival of spiritual energy is not simply a surge in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but rather a process of repairing the incomplete laws of the Yin and Yang realms, allowing the Yang realm of the real world and the Yin realm of the underworld to each transform into independent and complete great worlds!"

"When the laws are complete, the restrictions on the mortal realm will completely disappear, and countless powerful beings will emerge, dominating the world!"

"And the underworld will expand countless times, completely breaking free from the constraints of the intermediate world and becoming a truly independent great world!"

Zhong Jiu took one last deep look at the still desolate underworld, his eyes filled with anticipation.

The next time I come, it will be when the laws of the underworld are completed. At that time, this somewhat empty and desolate world will surely become lively and bustling, forming a complete underworld and truly becoming the domain of the underworld!

Time flies, the sun and the moon flies.

Another two weeks have passed.

The people have long been accustomed to the sky soaring high in the heavens, accustomed to seeing the reflection of their city when they look up. That sky has taken up most of the blue sky, and everything on it is so clear that it seems within reach.
