Chapter 96 The Opportunity for the Underworld Emperor to Become a God! The Demon Emperor's Scheme
All three knew that the Underworld Emperor's choice would determine their future fate.
Fortunately, the Underworld Emperor did not remain silent for long and soon broke the silence of the room.
"I once thought I was that one in a million genius, breaking through to the Title Douluo level at nineteen, becoming a Super Douluo at twenty-five, and reaching the limit realm that countless people dream of before I was even fifty," the Underworld Emperor said, his hands behind his back, a trace of melancholy appearing in his gray eyes. "But I never expected that all of this was the Spirit of the Plane helping me, but now I haven't even seen him one last time."
A complex mix of emotions welled up in the Underworld Emperor's heart. Before the spirit of the old plane passed away, it had left instructions in his mind. Only then did he realize that he had always thought he was alone all along, but now he discovered that there was someone who had been silently watching over him and even protecting his soul.
However, by the time he found out, the soul had already departed, and they hadn't even exchanged a single word.
For him, nothing in the world could be more tragic than this.
"Senior Underworld Emperor, you were chosen by the Spirit of the Plane, which in itself means you are exceptionally talented," Jiang Xiu said, his eyes flickering slightly. "Of course, please accept my condolences as well."
"My own condolences are useless; I will make others mourn as well." The Underworld Emperor shook his head slightly, a wild grin spreading across his face, and said in an icy tone, "The enemies of the Plane Spirits are right here on Douluo Continent, and I will exact my revenge on them!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly and exchanged a glance with the Dark Bell beside him. As if they were telepathically connected, the Dark Bell first gave Jiang Xiu a rather beautiful glare, and then parted her red lips slightly to say, "Then, Underworld Emperor, how do you plan to take revenge? You should know that the old man's enemies are all gods."
"I dislike beating around the bush. The spirit of the plane left a message in my spiritual sea, saying that you can help me break through the final shackles and become a legendary god." The Underworld Emperor stared intently at Jiang Xiu, gripping his cross-shaped sword tightly, and solemnly said:
"If you can truly do that, then I am willing to submit to you wholeheartedly."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed with surprise. He hadn't expected the Underworld Emperor to make such a request. But then he understood. The Underworld Emperor had spent the first half of his life striving to break through to the God level, so such a request was reasonable.
But what Jiang Xiu didn't know was that before this, the Underworld Emperor's lifelong pursuit was to break through to godhood. However, after the death of the Plane Spirit, his goal had changed. He wanted to avenge the Plane Spirit. Becoming a god was no longer his end point, but a node in his long road of revenge.
"Senior Underworld Emperor, I also very much want to help you break through to godhood, but it's impossible to do so in a short time, because I am currently only a three-ring Soul Venerable." Jiang Xiu pondered for a moment and said softly.
Although he also desires the Underworld Emperor, the strongest being of his time, he clearly cannot help the Underworld Emperor break through to the god level right now.
"It's alright, I have plenty of time to wait," the Underworld Emperor said, shaking his head slightly. He was different from the other Limit Douluos. The lifespan of the other Limit Douluos was generally over three hundred years, with the highest being four hundred years. However, he had the Underworld Rebirth Domain and countless undead creatures, so his lifespan far exceeded theirs.
Jiang Xiu's current aptitude is clearly superior to his.
Suddenly, the Underworld Emperor seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, the Spirit of the Planes also told me that the opportunity for me to become a god lies in the Demon Plane, and you know the way to the Demon Plane. You will take me there."
"The Demon Plane?" Jiang Xiu frowned and muttered to himself, a look of confusion in his eyes. The Demon Plane was below the Douluo Plane. The strongest Demon Lord there was only comparable to a Limit Douluo. The Demon Plane also had restrictions on becoming a god. How could the Underworld Emperor's opportunity to become a god be there?
"What? What are you thinking about?" Seeing Jiang Xiu's thoughtful expression, the Underworld Emperor pressed him for an answer, his tone slightly excited. After all, the sooner he became a god, the sooner he could take his revenge.
"Hmm...it is indeed possible to reach the Demon Dimension, but not now, because the time is not right yet." Jiang Xiu shook his head slightly and then suppressed these chaotic thoughts.
Since the Spirit of the Planes said so, there must be a reason for it. What he needs to do before that is to control the way to the Demon Plane.
On the entire continent, there is only one person who can connect to the Demon Dimension, and that person is Yuanen Yehui!
"It seems I'll have to take the upcoming East Sea Grand Competition even more seriously," Jiang Xiu thought to himself, since the Golden Ancient Tree and Yuanen Yehui were both at Shrek Academy.
With Yuanen Yehui by his side, he wouldn't need to deliberately search for a way to reach the Demon Realm, because the Demon Realm would come to him like a lamb to the slaughter...
"The Yuanen family is also a great asset." Jiang Xiu couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the Yuanen family.
In this era of prodigious geniuses, some of the extraordinary martial spirits from 20,000 and 10,000 years ago have faded into obscurity, but the Titan Giant Ape martial spirit remains powerful. In the later stages, the Yuanen family even witnessed the flourishing of three extreme martial spirits in one clan, which is extremely rare on the entire continent.
"The time is not right... then I will wait a little longer. Just inform me when you have news." A hint of regret flashed in the Underworld Emperor's eyes as he calmly said.
"Alright." Jiang Xiu nodded slightly, his eyes flashing slightly, and asked softly, "Senior Underworld Emperor, I wonder how far the Demon Emperor has progressed?"
"Hmm..." The Underworld Emperor gave Jiang Xiu a deep look, then said, "She is stronger than me, or rather, her current strength is above that of a quasi-god, and she has even stepped one foot into the true god level."
"And she is secretly plotting something, constantly gathering blood and resentment from blood-stained creatures. If I'm not mistaken, she has even established a stable connection with the Abyss and reached some kind of deal."
"This...this isn't right..." Dark Bell's beautiful eyes widened upon hearing this, her expression filled with astonishment.
She had vaguely known that their Holy Spirit Cult's Demon Emperor had made contact with the Abyss, but she never expected that they would actually establish a connection now.
"Your rank is not high enough, so it's normal that you don't know these things, but you will soon find out." The Underworld Emperor glanced at the Dark Bell indifferently. If the Demon Emperor were to make a move, he would definitely mobilize the Holy Spirit Cult.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu's purple eyes flashed with a sharp light. He knew very well that the Demon Emperor was currently insane. She didn't care about anything as long as she could get revenge. As for whether Douluo Continent would be swallowed by the abyss, that was none of his concern.
Her connection with the Abyss Plane was primarily to have it help her break through to the final step.
"Is there anything else you want to ask? Ask it all at once," the Underworld Emperor said to Jiang Xiu. "If not, I should go back and heal my wounds."
"That's all for now. If the Demon Emperor makes any big moves, I hope you can inform me in time, Senior Underworld Emperor," Jiang Xiu said, shaking his head slightly.
"No problem." The Underworld Emperor nodded, then with a flick of his body, he turned into countless withered ashes and suddenly disappeared from the room.
Although his injuries did not reach the source, he still needed to be healed, as the power of the sea god was not so easy to remove.
"Hey, little brother, what are you planning to do next?" Dark Bell asked with a coquettish smile as she leaned slightly closer to Jiang Xiu, seeing that only she and Jiang Xiu were left in the room.
"Cultivate and break through the second seal of the Golden Dragon King." Jiang Xiu said without hesitation. Now that he had the Golden Dragon King's Origin as a gold mine, he naturally wanted to explore it thoroughly.
"Hehehe, the seal on my sister hasn't been lifted yet, so my life from now on depends on you, little brother..." A strange light flashed in Dark Bell's beautiful eyes, and her delicate body leaned slightly closer to Jiang Xiu. "As long as you take me in, little brother, I'll do anything..."
Meanwhile, Na'er was still on her way...
