That soaring resentment... If it weren't for the super-strong mental resistance brought by the "Thoughts of the Four Worlds", he would probably have been driven insane just by entering this place.
He didn't utter anything as outrageous as "why not kill all these vengeful spirits?"
Putting aside the question of whether it's even possible, just the fact that this statement is made... I'm afraid even the Ten Kings of Hell would have to get his name tattooed on them.
Because the number of vengeful spirits here is almost in the hundreds of millions!
"Let's go back!"
The Ghost Emperor at the forefront did not answer Fan Xiao's question, but said in a colder tone, "This is not a place for you now. Come here when you are qualified to advance to Ghost Emperor, and then we will lend a helping hand."
"Watch your tone. You're talking to your future boss."
Fan Xiao kindly offered a reminder.
Ghost Emperor: "???"
Has he lost his mind?
He even thought the other person had great potential...
Suddenly! Fan Xiao took a step forward, and in a flash, he arrived in front of the Ghost Emperor who was talking to him.
"Be bold!"
"Insolent fool!"
"How dare you trespass into the Reincarnation Formation!"
"Go back..."
A series of roars rang out.
Hundreds of attacks formed from ghostly power roared toward Fan Xiao.
Some of these attacks even came from the Ghost Emperor.
Players are all "sinful people," and the Ghost Emperors treat them politely, ignoring some principles, because the existence of this group is beneficial to the Underworld.
But if the player doesn't know how to be appreciative... since they are guilty, there's no need to be polite to them anymore.
Most Ghost Emperors share this mindset.
Therefore, upon seeing Fan Xiao's disrespectful and reckless behavior, several Ghost Emperors took immediate action.
At the level of the Ghost Emperor, their ghostly power can penetrate matter, energy, and spirit, extending into the realm of concepts and interfering with the most fundamental laws of all things.
Just a player...
In the next instant, all the attacks aimed at Fan Xiao, whether tangible or intangible, were torn apart by a scarlet light and vanished without a trace.
It was as if they had never existed in this world.
Only the astonishment in the eyes of the underworld beings proved that the attack had indeed occurred.
Fan Xiao, facing everyone's gaze, grinned and showed a carefree smile, raising his hand and pointing forward.
The Multifaceted Killing Intent - Judgment of Inevitable Annihilation was instantly in the pre-launch phase.
That is to say... he has transformed the misfortune and thrown it out, and he has seen the possibility of imminent death in the lives of these people in front of him.
He only needs to anchor these futures in the transformation of fortune to complete a wide-ranging trial.
At that moment, everyone inside the reincarnation array felt an intense sense of impending doom and impending death.
Those who cultivate ghostly power possess exceptionally keen spiritual perception.
Everyone stared intently at Fan Xiao, subconsciously restraining themselves from even blinking.
This also includes the Ghost Emperors who possess immortality.
The underworld beings within the magic circle dared not make any further moves.
They realized—the one before them was not some innocent little rabbit, but a terrifying wolf!
The opponent likely possesses the power to instantly kill everyone except the Ghost Emperor!
Incredibly powerful...
"It seems everyone here knows their stuff. Now we can talk properly, right?"
Ignoring the wary gazes of the other underworld figures, Fan Xiao looked directly at the Ghost Emperor before him and asked, "Is Jafari Sanye the Ghost Emperor?"
"His level is not high enough. To cultivate ghost power to an extremely high level, one must have the heart of an inner saint and an outer king, and the intention to punish evil and promote good."
After witnessing Fan Xiao's strength, the Ghost Emperor's attitude softened considerably.
It's not that he chickened out... really!
He's immortal, what's there to be afraid of?
He saw in Fan Xiao the hope of breaking the century-old deadlock.
He continued, "A being like Jafari Trifle, who is even more monstrous than a demon, can never reach the realm of an emperor. He merely possesses the rank of the highest emperor, and can enjoy the same privilege as us, to live and die with the Netherworld."
"The Emperor's rank... is similar to the highest ruler of the Netherworld?" Fan Xiao asked.
"Only those who possess the Ghost Emperor realm combined with the Emperor rank can become the supreme ruler." The Ghost Emperor replied, "Jafari Sanye has the rank but not the realm, so he cannot ascend to that position. This is also why we do not need to obey him."
He paused, then added, "Over the years, Jafari Trifoli has been constantly trying to make us submit and use our power to increase his strength and influence in the Netherworld, but he has never succeeded."
"To vent his anger and to increase his power in another way, he used the Emperor's authority to create the Demon Territory, cultivating numerous Demon Kings and a powerful Demon King with the strength of a top-tier Demon Emperor. His power was indeed greatly enhanced."
"If you want to deal with him, we can assist you from the sidelines, helping you suppress his army of evil spirits, as well as that special ghost emperor. However... you've seen the state of the cycle of reincarnation. We must guard this place at all times to ensure the system doesn't completely collapse. Therefore, we can only spare half of our forces to assist you at most, and the assistance cannot be prolonged. So..."
"So we won't help you until you're absolutely certain of victory."
Another Ghost Emperor teleported to Fan Xiao's side and joined the conversation: "About fifty years ago, we gambled on a very promising player, but... he failed."
"Because we were temporarily removed from the reincarnation array, the reincarnation path was further eroded by the sea of resentment, and the number of souls that could be reincarnated was reduced once again."
"So... if you want to defeat Jafari Sanye, you must reach the realm of the Ghost Emperor! Ghost power not only has extremely high suppressive power against evil ghosts, but those who reach the realm of the Ghost Emperor can also seal each other's immortality authority, allowing them to live and die with the Netherworld, when fighting the Ghost Emperor. Only in this way can the true victor be determined!"
Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao pointed out the flaw, saying, "You are also Ghost Emperors, so why don't you seal the immortality?"
If the battle can be resolved more easily, that would be ideal.
“No, Jafari Sanye is different.” The Ghost Emperor shook his head and said, “He possesses the supreme Emperor status in the Underworld system, and we cannot impose any restrictions on his authority. Only you players, you outsiders, can break this restriction.”
"Is this so..."
Fan Xiao roughly understood the Speaker's state of mind.
He actually obtained the title of "Emperor of Fengdu" in the underworld.
This supreme imperial status is probably half of the token that controls this instance.
Yes, half.
The other half is the realm of the Ghost Emperor.
Only by combining the two can we gain a more comprehensive grasp of this instance.
To reach the realm of the Ghost Emperor, one must meet a basic condition—you must be a good person according to universal values.
After all, to achieve inner sainthood and outer kingship, and to punish evil and promote good, if one cannot even meet the most basic condition of being a "good person," one might not even reach the level of Ghost Emperor even after a hundred years of cultivation.
Fan Xiao continued, "Will killing Jafari Trifolio make this Sea of Resentment disappear? Or... must we kill him on this Sea of Resentment, so that all the vengeful spirits can witness it?"
“You don’t need to worry about that,” the Ghost Emperor who spoke first assured him. “Once the campaign begins, we will put the ‘Looking-Homeward Terrace’ into full operation, connecting the battlefield to this space, ensuring that all the souls in the Sea of Resentment can see the entire battlefield. Even if you are fighting in the mortal realm, you will be able to see it very clearly from here.”
At this point, he revealed a slightly strange expression and murmured, "Normally, after you players arrive, Jafari Trifle usually stays in the mortal realm. If you want to defeat him, you must first advance to the rank of Underworld Marshal in the Underworld system and obtain the Underworld Marshal's Token before you have the authority to go to the mortal realm. This time, he has stayed in the Netherworld, which is rather strange... Could there be some conspiracy?"
Fan Xiao: "..."
He knew the truth of the matter.
There were no conspiracies or tricks involved!
It was purely because Dr. Zhuang was afraid that if his counterparts stayed in the mortal realm, he would easily wipe them all out, so he hid them in the underworld long ago.
Unfortunately... even the wisest person can make a mistake.
Even if Dr. Zhuang racked his brains, he couldn't have imagined that he could eliminate all the counterparts except the Speaker from across two worlds.
Fan Xiao grasped a key point from this information.
He quickly asked, "By the way, are there any restrictions on Jafari Trifoli when he travels between the mortal realm and the underworld?"
"For example, in terms of time, can he travel between the two worlds instantly? Or does his ability to travel between worlds require a little time, a process?"
"For example, in terms of frequency, can he use his teleportation ability frequently in a short period of time?"
Fan Xiao was quite confident in his fighting ability.
Now he only needs to solve one problem—block the Speaker's ability to travel between worlds, to prevent this guy from using frequent travel between the two worlds to play some kind of pursuit game with him.
Although he now possesses the Yin Marshal's Token and can travel between the two realms, if the Speaker acts shamelessly, keeps traveling between realms, and refuses to fight him until the dungeon's opening time ends... In the current situation where "Inevitable Annihilation Judgment" cannot take effect, he really doesn't have a good way to deal with the other party.
Even if the Speaker possesses a powerful teleportation ability, he is not worried—his "Eye of Truth" contains the "Eye of the Future," which can see into the future several seconds in advance, making it a divine skill that can counter teleportation.
I'm afraid the other side will lack martial ethics and simply disappear to another world.
Of course, he wasn't without a solution.
Just like when dealing with Cinderella in the previous dungeon, he can have the little angel directly block the enemy's permissions.
However... if the level of the interdimensional travel permission is particularly high, with his current mental limit, he can't seal it for long—last time he removed Cinderella's "infinite power" permission, it's hard to say whether the removal lasted even a second.
Therefore, he needs to see if the underworld has any countermeasures.
Our target this time is Dr. Zhuang, so we need to be fully prepared in case of any unforeseen circumstances!
There are no restrictions on either the time or the number of times. But you don't need to worry about that.
The third Ghost Emperor suddenly teleported over and joined the conversation: "You must be quite confident to ask this question. I will do my best to assist you. As soon as Jafari Sanye leaves the Netherworld, I will use the authority of the entire Underworld to immediately close all the entrances and exits of the Netherworld, completely separating the Yin and Yang realms and suspending the operation of the reincarnation system."
"During this pause, no one, including the Ghost Emperor, can enter the Netherworld from the mortal realm. If you are strong enough, you can kill him in the mortal realm."
“Jafari Sanye has the rank of Emperor, but not the corresponding cultivation level. Therefore, he cannot use the highest authority to lift our blockade of the Netherworld.”
"Temporarily sealing off the Netherworld... How long will this last?" Fan Xiao asked.
"About half an hour," the Ghost Emperor replied.
Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao's lips curled up: "That's enough."
*Snap*—He tossed a coin up and caught it with the back of his hand, confirming whether something was true or not.
The original Twilight Council Chairman was unable to reach the Ghost Emperor realm because he was an extremely rotten person!
This guy has absolutely nothing to do with inner virtue and outer kingship, or punishing evil and promoting good.
But now that the Speaker has become Dr. Zhuang's counterpart, things are... hard to say.
What he was verifying was whether the current speaker was the Ghost Emperor.
Fortunately, the coin landed tails up – meaning the other party wasn't the Ghost Emperor.
"It seems Dr. Zhuang is also an impatient person, not waiting until he advances to Ghost Emperor before coming to find me... No, that's not the right way to think about it. The specific time he lured me to this instance is not something he can control, but rather depends on when I bite the bait he has laid out. The timing is up to me."
Fan Xiao felt a pang of emotion as he thought about this.
I wonder if anyone was "lucky" enough to participate in this...
Fan Xiao put away the coins and said to the Ghost Emperors, "I don't need any help with combat power. You can just help me with the live broadcast... and connect the battlefield footage to this side. If Jafari escapes to the mortal realm, you should immediately seal off the Netherworld... Oh, by the way, after the Netherworld is sealed off, can the battlefield footage from the mortal realm still be connected here?"
"The 'Looking-Homeward Terrace' is meant to gaze upon the mortal realm; its ability to view the underworld is merely a secondary benefit," the Ghost Emperor assured him again. "So you don't need to worry about this. The closure of the underworld entrance won't affect the 'Looking-Homeward Terrace's' function. But you..."
He asked suspiciously, "Are you sure we don't need to work together?"
"You all stay here to suppress reincarnation. Don't let anything else go wrong in my territory," Fan Xiao warned.
"..."
The ghost emperors were all choked.
Is this even human language?
Fan Xiao didn't care about their emotions or reactions, and said again, "Alright, now help me connect to the battlefield footage, I'm going to make my move."
"Wait!" one of the Ghost Emperors frowned and said, "You haven't reached the Ghost Emperor realm yet!"
"How long does it take to cultivate to the Ghost Emperor level?" Fan Xiao asked with great curiosity.
“Your players’ aptitude is unparalleled in the world… or rather, it’s beyond the pinnacle, a peerless talent. If you cultivate step by step… and if you don’t break through any bottlenecks along the way, you should be able to succeed in about two months.”
One of the Ghost Emperors replied, "However, this is the ideal situation. In reality, the most important thing to reach the Ghost Emperor realm is to pass the test of one's mental state."
