Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

Ye Junlin glanced at the murderous-looking Fire Cloud Evil God, a hint of amusement in his eyes:

"Hahaha, should I call you the Ultimate Killer King, Fire Cloud Evil God, or the Fire Cloud Evil God of the Dragon Tiger Gate?"

The Fiery Cloud Evil God grinned, revealing a hint of arrogance:

"The ultimate killer king, Fire Cloud Evil God of the Dragon Tiger Gate, are all his subordinates."

"From now on, we will all be subordinates of the monarch."

He has merged the skills, personalities, and even memories of the two, and is now a completely new Fire Cloud Evil God.

"Haha, not bad, not bad."

Ye Junlin nodded.

"Fire Cloud Evil God, from this day forward, you shall join the Drizzle Pavilion and become its ultimate killer king."

"The Fine Rain Pavilion is in dire need of a powerful figure like yourself to oversee it."

The Fire Cloud Evil God's murderous aura is too strong; he would be perfectly suited to be placed in an assassin organization.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Fire Cloud Evil God responded; he was both skilled at and enjoyed killing.

Ye Junlin turned to look at the bewildered A Qing and spoke softly:

"Aqing."

"Your Majesty, I am here."

Ah Qing, holding the bamboo stick, responded crisply, her clear eyes filled with purity.

"From this day forward, you shall be one of the Five Emperors of my Eternal Night Heaven, with the title of 'Central Emperor'."

Aqing tilted her head slightly, blinked, and then bowed to accept the order:

"Ah Qing obeys!"

"However... Ah Qing sensed the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao and is unable to take action for the time being."

"Haha, it's alright."

Ye Junlin waved his hand and smiled.

"You can cultivate in the Eternal Night Space first, and then you can continue until the world is fully restored."

"Coincidentally, I also have a task for you."

He took out the unknown divine beast egg and handed it to A Qing.

"This is a mythical beast egg, of unknown species. I intend to entrust it to you for hatching."

"You can go to the Eternal Night Treasury at any time to use spiritual resources to feed it."

Aqing carefully took the mythical beast egg. It was warm to the touch, and seemed to be alive. She nodded earnestly.

"Yes, ma'am! Ah Qing will definitely hatch it properly!"

"Hmm!" Ye Junlin nodded slightly, then waved to the three of them.

"Alright, you may all leave now and return to your posts."

"This subordinate takes his leave!"

The three turned and left, and the monarch's palace returned to silence.

Ye Junlin looked at the remaining energy points,

"Keep the remaining energy points for now, just in case!"

"The foundation of Eternal Night Heaven is now solid. Next, we simply await the opportunity for the five domains to unite."

……

Qingzhou City, Xiyu Tower.

A figure appeared out of thin air in the rooftop viewing platform hall, exuding a murderous aura as if it were a tangible substance.

Inside the hall, Su Muyu, Zhao Gao, and Wei Zhuang were discussing the development of Xiyu Tower.

Sensing this aura, they all felt a chill run down their spines.

They had received a message from Ye Junlin in advance, informing them that a peak-level terrestrial immortal would be coming to oversee the situation.

Su Muyu stood up, cupped her hands, and said:

"You must be the ultimate killer king, Fire Cloud Evil God."

"I am Su Muyu, the master of Xiyu Tower. These two are Zhao Gao and Wei Zhuang, the deputy masters of the tower."

The Fiery Cloud Evil God glanced at the three of them and said indifferently:

"Um."

"From now on, I will be stationed here. If there are any people you can't kill, come to me. Don't bother me with other trivial matters."

"Understood," Su Muyu and the other two replied.

The voice has not fallen,

The Fiery Cloud Evil God's black robes fluttered, transforming into a sky full of black mist.

It vanished silently through the crack in the hall door, leaving no trace.

"What bizarre movement technique!"

Su Muyu was shocked.

"Such methods are practically impossible to defend against when used for assassination; they can penetrate any opening."

Zhao Gao clapped his hands and laughed:

"With such a esteemed figure in charge, it would be difficult for my Fine Rain Pavilion not to become the strongest assassin organization in the Five Regions!"

Wei Zhuang nodded: "We no longer need to fear top-tier forces. Let's proceed according to the original plan."

Su Muyu and Zhao Gao responded in unison, "Excellent!"

……

Middle Realm, Death Valley, Hades.

Inside the Eastern Ghost Emperor's main hall, Emperor Shitian frowned slightly, a strange unease rising in his heart.

"Hmm? Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling?"

Just as he was pondering this, his elder sister and the surrendered official pushed open the door and entered. The two bowed in greeting.

"Lord Eastern Ghost Emperor."

Emperor Shitian suppressed his doubts, looked at the two of them, and asked:

"Didn't you go to investigate the Ghost King Sect?"

"Why did you return so quickly? Did you discover something?"

The surrendered official's expression turned serious:

"Lord Qi, as soon as we entered the Ghost King Sect's territory, we sensed an aura of world-destroying power erupting from within."

"I suspect that a powerful figure may have resurrected within the Ghost King Sect."

"Then they began to guard against it closely, and it was only after my subordinate controlled an elder with his soul that I learned of it."

"The Ghost King Sect does indeed have a powerful figure who has awakened, claiming that he will destroy my Underworld and kill you, sir."

"Oh?" Di Shitian raised an eyebrow, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes:

"It seems that my last battle with that Ghost King Sect elder made that old man wary, and he actually brought out his hidden strength."

Indra scoffed:

"Ha, laughable. You think you can destroy the Underworld and me? Not so easy!"

"If it weren't for the lack of manpower in my Underworld, the Ghost King Sect would have been reduced to ashes long ago!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar yet terrifyingly powerful aura came from outside the Underworld like a thunderclap!

"Damn it! Could that person have also come to this world?"

Indra's expression changed drastically, and his figure vanished from the throne in an instant, rushing straight out of the hall.

The surrendered minister and his sister exchanged a glance, both looking completely bewildered.

The older sister scratched her head, looking puzzled, and said:

"What's going on? Why is Lord Indra suddenly in such a hurry?"

The surrendered official shook his head: "I don't know, we'll find out when we go and see."

The two quickly followed him out.

Outside the Underworld, Wu Wudi, along with Hou Qing, Hanba, and Jiang Yuyan, tore through space and stepped out, their martial arts aura sweeping across all directions.

When Di Shitian arrived outside the Underworld, he immediately saw that familiar figure, and his face turned ashen.

Their auras collided instantly, like Mars colliding with Earth.

An invisible wave of energy was formed and spread outwards.

Hou Qing, Hanba, and Jiang Yuyan were impacted by this shockwave.

He involuntarily bent his knees, his face turned pale, and he was terrified.

"This...is this a clash between late-stage terrestrial immortals? It's terrifying!"

Jiang Yuyan gritted her teeth and barely managed to stand.

The drought demon did the same, quietly asking the minister beside him:

"What... what's going on? That lord who came out of the underworld seems very angry."

Hou Qing frowned and shook his head slightly: "I don't know. But judging from this situation, there's probably more to it than meets the eye..."

Wu Wudi looked at Di Shitian, a glint of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes, and laughed loudly:

"It's been so long!"

"I never imagined we'd meet again in this lifetime; it's something I'll never forget!"

"Hmph! Who wants to see you again? I don't want to see you, don't flatter yourself!"

Indra snorted coldly, his tone full of hostility.

His eyes, however, held a hint of barely perceptible apprehension.

"Now that you're here, I'm determined to fight you three hundred rounds today!"

In his past life, he was traumatized by Wu Wudi's top ten martial arts masters.

That domineering and unparalleled power still sends shivers down my spine when I think about it.

Upon seeing each other again, old grudges instantly resurfaced.

"Hahaha, good! Let me see how much you've improved since you came into this world!"

Wu Wudi showed no weakness, his aura growing increasingly violent, the imposing presence of one of the top ten martial arts masters poised to be unleashed.

Just as the two were about to draw their swords and fight, Yin Zhong's voice suddenly rang out.

"We're both family, let's not spoil the harmony! We should focus on the important matters at hand!"

Yin Zhong appeared between the two, and seeing them locked in a tense standoff, he quickly tried to mediate.

As one of the five Ghost Emperors of the Underworld, he naturally did not want internal strife to arise.

"snort!"

"snort!"

Upon hearing Yin Zhong's advice, both of them snorted coldly and concealed their auras.

As the shockwave dissipated, Hou Qing and the other two were finally able to stand up straight and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Hou Qing gently shook the flute in his hand and whispered to the drought demon:

"It seems that life in the underworld won't be boring from now on."

The drought demon said in a gruff voice:

"I thought a fight was going to break out; it gave me quite a fright."

"I enjoy watching fights, but I don't want to get caught in the crossfire."

Jiang Yuyan looked at Di Shitian, Yin Zhong, and Wu Wudi, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

"With these three here, the power of my Underworld will likely shake the entire Central Region."

Hou Qing and the drought demon nodded: "Hmm, not bad!"

Above the three of them, Di Shitian coldly stared at Wu Wudi:

"Speak, what brings you to the Underworld?"

Wu Wudi withdrew his fighting spirit and responded in a deep voice:

"The monarch has appointed me as the Southern Ghost Emperor of the Underworld, and I have come to join you all in overseeing the Underworld."

"Haha, welcome, fellow Daoist!"

Yin Zhong quickly stepped forward and said warmly,

"With this fellow Daoist joining us, my Underworld is now as powerful as a tiger with wings!"

Wu Wudi nodded slightly to Yin Zhong in response.

Indra, however, remained displeased and coldly snorted:

"Hmph! I never imagined I'd end up working with you! What an unfortunate situation."

"However... since it's the monarch's order, let's leave it at that for now."

"But I haven't forgotten the debts from my past life; we'll have to fight again sooner or later!"

"No problem, I'm always ready!"

Wu Wudi showed no sign of backing down, and the fighting spirit in his eyes reignited.

Seeing this, Yin Zhong shook his head helplessly and could only try to smooth things over:

"Alright, alright, whatever grudges we have can be settled later."

"Right now, the Ghost King Sect is the real threat. Let's discuss how to deal with them first."

Di Shitian and Wu Wudi exchanged a glance and both snorted coldly.

He remained silent, but the tension lingered around him.

Hou Qing and the other two stood aside, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Now I finally understand why Indra, who flew out of the underworld, was so distraught.

It turns out that the Southern Ghost Emperor was actually his old nemesis!
