Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

After arriving in the underworld,

Di Shitian immediately contacted Li Wujiu, the lord of Sin City, using a communication token.

"During my absence these past few days, has anything unusual happened in Youzhou?"

A moment later, the token lit up, and Li Wujiu's voice came through:

"Reporting to the Ghost Emperor, all is well and nothing has happened."

"Alright, send out the people from Sin City and find me a guy named Wang Teng."

Indra commanded,

"He's young, his cultivation is in the late stage of the Celestial Realm, and he might be found near the border of Youzhou. Report to me immediately if you find him."

"Yes, I will arrange it immediately."

Li Wujiu didn't ask any further questions, simply replied, and hung up.

Emperor Shitian put away the token and looked at Xiong Ba and Xie Huang:

"My two gentlemen, let me show you around the Underworld and explain the power structure of the Central Region, as well as the current situation of our Underworld."

Xiong Ba and Xie Huang nodded: "That's exactly what we were thinking."

……

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

News came quickly after the Sin City forces were deployed.

Li Wujiu informed Di Shitian of Wang Teng's whereabouts.

Upon receiving the news, Indra immediately tore open a portal and left the Underworld.

In a small town called Qiushui City within Youzhou,

In room number three of the "Di" section of a hotel called Haiyan Inn, Wang Teng was meditating cross-legged.

suddenly!

With a soft "rip," the space in the guest room suddenly twisted, and a crack appeared in the middle.

Wang Teng opened his eyes instantly, his heart tightening.

Only a terrestrial immortal-level powerhouse can tear through space!

He assumed they were people sent by the Yunlan Sect to kill him, so he circulated his spiritual energy and suddenly stood up, intending to rush towards the window.

But before he could jump out of the window, a powerful pressure immobilized him, rendering him unable to move.

Indra's figure emerged from the crack, sizing up Wang Teng:

"You're Wang Teng from the Wang family of Yunzhou?"

Wang Teng looked at the person opposite him wearing an ice sculpture mask, his face filled with resentment:

"You scum of the Yunlan Sect, I am none other than your grandfather, Wang Teng! Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you!"

"If I, Wang Teng, even frown, I am not a man of the Wang family!"

Upon hearing this, Di Shitian realized that they thought he was a member of the Yunlan Sect.

"You do have some backbone."

"However, I am not a member of the Yunlan Sect. I am the Eastern Ghost Emperor of the Underworld."

Wang Teng's eyes widened, still somewhat incredulous: "You...are you really from the Underworld?"

Do you think I would need to lie to you?

Indra said calmly,

"If I really wanted to kill you, would you still be standing here talking to me?"

Wang Teng thought it made sense. If the other party were from the Yunlan Sect, they would have already made a move; there would be no need to waste words.

"It was a misunderstanding on my part, senior. I hope you will forgive me."

"It's alright." Di Shitian withdrew his oppressive aura and walked straight to the table in the center of the guest room to sit down.

Wang Teng immediately felt a lightness in his body and asked, "May I ask what business you have with me, senior?"

Indra didn't mince words: "Do you want to avenge the royal family?"

Upon hearing the words "revenge," Wang Teng immediately knelt on the ground, his eyes red-rimmed.

"Senior, I want revenge! I dream about it!"

"I humbly request your guidance, senior. Even if it means going through fire and water, I, Wang Teng, will not hesitate to do so!"

"Very good." Indra nodded. "Join my Underworld. The Underworld will avenge you. What do you say?"

Wang Teng suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with unbelievable ecstasy.

His original intention in coming here was to find a way to join the Underworld, but he never expected that it would be the people of the Underworld who would come to him on their own initiative.

"Senior! I'm willing!"

He made a heavenly oath almost without hesitation:

"Heaven above! I, Wang Teng, swear that from this day forward, I will serve the Underworld with my life. If I betray this oath, may I die a horrible death and never be reincarnated!"

At the very moment Wang Teng made his vow,

In the endless void, the celestial light cluster bound by shackles sensed something:

"Huh! This kid... he just awakened and he's already swearing allegiance to someone else?"

"I'd like to see who made me choose the people to be loyal to."

Immediately, He activated the power of Heaven to investigate, and His expression changed drastically. He was first stunned, then suddenly became excited:

"Hahaha! They've appeared! They've appeared! The person our little master is waiting for has appeared!"

"So the variable I noticed before was him!"

"Since the chosen one I selected serves the person the young master is waiting for, then there's nothing to worry about."

The celestial light swayed, and the chains rattled.

"I must quickly break through the last shackle to help my little master be born as soon as possible!"

Inside the inn, a dazzling golden light descended from the void, enveloping Wang Teng.

An invisible mark slowly imprinted itself into his soul.

As Indra watched this scene, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.

He hadn't expected Wang Teng to be so decisive, and immediately stood up:

"Very well. Come back to Sin City with me first."

"Yes!" Wang Teng stood up and followed behind Di Shitian.

The next second, space tore open again, and two figures stepped into it.

Only a flickering candle remained in the guest room, illuminating the empty table and chairs.

……

Eternal Night Space, Monarch's Palace.

The system notification sounded:

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the "Recruiting the Chosen One" mission and receiving a mystery gift pack.]

Ye Junlin was a little surprised: "Di Shitian and the others were so fast? They brought the people in in just half a day? That's quite efficient."

He rubbed his hands together. "Hey buddy, open the mystery gift bag and let me see what good stuff is inside."

[Ding, command received. Open mystery gift pack.]

Congratulations, host, you have obtained:

1. Tower of Time and Tribulation: The tower contains its own miniature world of time, where the flow of time can be adjusted by consuming spirit stones.

Current unlock rate: One day outside is equivalent to one year inside the tower.

Note: It is symbiotic with the fortune of the underworld, inseparable and indestructible, and evolves as the underworld grows.

2. The Supreme Throne: Forged from Chaos Divine Iron, Reincarnation Ancient Wood, and myriad crystalline threads.

The chair back is engraved with a map of the stars, and a chaotic mist swirls around the seat. When activated, it emits countless rays of light and auspicious colors.

Upon sitting down, one can independently draw upon the primordial chaos, the myriad principles of heaven and earth, and the spiritual energy of the void for cultivation.

It operates automatically around the clock; the faster one's cultivation breakthroughs, the higher the absorption efficiency, forming a closed loop where one grows stronger with each cultivation.

Ye Junlin's eyes widened after reading the introduction:

"Good heavens! This... recruiting a chosen one of destiny actually yielded two such amazing treasures?"

"The Tower of Time and Tribulation is perfect for the Underworld. They won't need to travel back and forth to the Tower of Time in the Eternal Night Space for cultivation anymore."

"This supreme throne..." He looked at it with increasing satisfaction, "It's practically tailor-made for a lazy bum like me."

"System, quickly release the Supreme Throne!"

The moment the throne appeared, the world within the Eternal Night changed color.

The anomaly gradually subsided only after the system actively suppressed it.

Ye Junlin's eyes shone brightly as he looked at the throne floating in the hall.

That throne looks absolutely stunning.

He kicked the Jade Throne he was standing on aside, placed the Supreme Throne in the main seat, and plopped down on it.

Instantly, he felt his body absorbing spiritual energy on its own, and the spiritual power around him flowed slowly, without him having to actively circulate his cultivation technique.

"Haha, that was awesome!" He leaned back in his chair.

"From now on, there's no need for seclusion; I can just lie down here!"

"By the way, system, place the Tower of Time and Tribulation directly in the Underworld."

[Ding, received.]

As the system voice faded, in an open area of ​​the Central Region Underworld Palace Complex,

"Boom!"

A towering structure, entirely forged from Netherworld Jade and Time-Golden Metal, rose from the ground.

The tower is covered with runes of reincarnation and patterns of time, with a blend of deep blue and golden light, and rising in layers of mist.

A stone tablet appeared in front of the tower, with the five large characters "Tower of Time and Tribulation" written on it in vigorous strokes. Below it were engraved the tower's functions and how to use it.

Wu Wudi, Yin Zhong, Xiong Ba and others sensed the disturbance almost simultaneously and rushed to the front of the tower.

After reading the inscription, Wu Wudi was somewhat surprised:

"The Tower of Time and Tribulation? It's almost identical to the Time Tower in the Eternal Night Dimension!!"

"Indeed." Yin Zhong nodded, his tone full of admiration: "This must be the work of the monarch once again."

Xiong Ba couldn't help but exclaim, "The monarch is indeed omnipotent; he can even produce a second such wondrous item."

He had already been amazed by the function of the Time Tower in the Eternal Night Space.

To everyone's surprise, the monarch was able to produce a second item.

The others present echoed this sentiment:

"With this, I won't have to travel back and forth for seclusion anymore, which saves me a lot of trouble."
