It was true gods were forbidden from interfering with the mortal world, a fundamental rule of the God Realm. If not for Tang San's intervention, Da Ming and Er Ming would have never appeared on the Douluo Continent, much less stayed in the Clear Sky Sect. So, whenever Da Ming and Er Ming wanted to act, they needed Tang San's cover, since he controlled the God Realm's Core. If they acted without permission and were caught, Tang San would face questioning from the God of Destruction, leading to trouble. The God Realm took the presence of god level powers in the mortal world very seriously. The Three Great Law Enforcers sometimes even descended to enforce the rules themselves. However, due to their busy schedules, most enforcement was carried out by lesser gods under their command. One notable example was the God of Slaughter, who served under the God of Asura. Because of past incidents, this God of Slaughter had a terrible relationship with both the Second Generation Good God and the Second Generation Evil God. Even now, he was still being punished for his actions. At that moment, Da Ming spoke. "Brother San, you know me. Given my personality, I would never do something like this. Both Er Ming and I can prove that we are telling the truth." "That's right, Brother San, you have to believe us," Er Ming added as both of them opened their minds, allowing Tang San to examine them freely. Tang San's gaze swept over their figures. As a God King, he was far stronger than Da Ming and Er Ming, who were only divine officers. With their minds open, he could easily tell if they were lying. "They're not lying. Strange... then who stole my immortal herbs?! Heavenly treasures should be possessed by the virtuous. And without a doubt, I am the virtuous one. Whoever stole these herbs is clearly a wicked being. If they use these herbs to grow stronger, they could bring disaster to the world... No, wait... this thief might not even be human. It could be a soul beast." As Tang San pondered, he narrowed his eyes at Da Ming and Er Ming. "No matter what, you two must retrieve the immortal herbs. This is my command. These herbs are critical for Xiao Qi's future." Da Ming and Er Ming felt frustrated by Tang San's order. They knew full well that not all of those herbs were for Xiao Qi. Most of them were meant to help Tang San execute his plan to subjugate his next chosen pawn. However, they didn't argue. Instead, they nodded in unison and replied, "Understood, Brother San." Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy The sky was lightly illuminated, with clear weather stretching across the campus. Students laughed and chatted as they walked through the academy streets. Huo Yuhao returned to his residence. Holding his staff, he chanted an incantation, opening a Gate of the Undead. Then, he stepped inside, fully entering the Undead Sub Dimension. He had come here to fuse the Dragon King Soul Bone. With it, his strength would undergo a major leap. After all, this was a Dragon King Soul Bone even the soul bones Tang San once had couldn't compare to it. Since the fusion process might take time, Huo Yuhao had prepared accordingly. He wasn't worried about delaying his duel with Ji Juechen, as he still had three days left. As he looked at the dim sky and felt the unique aura of the Undead Sub Dimension, he fell into deep thought. Then, he asked, "Teacher, have you successfully modified the undead?" A fragment of Electrolux's divine consciousness materialized beside him in a semi transparent form. "Only partially successful," Electrolux replied. "They're not perfect yet. Once they are, I'll introduce them to you. However, during my research, I discovered something strange there is a realm filled entirely with the souls of the dead near Douluo Continent. It resembles a separate plane." "A realm of dead souls?" Huo Yuhao was surprised. Then, he recalled something from the original story a place called the Underworld. He remembered that Huo Yun'er's soul had been retrieved from the Underworld by Tang San and Dai Mubai. However, the original novel only mentioned the Underworld briefly it never described its details. So, in the lore of Douluo, the Underworld seemed to function as a soul transit station. But if that were the case, it didn't seem particularly valuable. If it were truly important, the God Realm would have already placed it under strict control and stationed gods to oversee it. If that were the case, Tang San wouldn't have needed to retrieve Huo Yun'er's soul personally. Since he was a God King, he had plenty of gods willing to curry favor with him. If the Underworld was regulated, he could have easily ordered a subordinate god to retrieve Huo Yun'er's soul. "Teacher, can you enter that world using special means?" Huo Yuhao theorized that since Douluo didn't have concepts like the Underworld or the Bridge of Reincarnation, souls might linger indefinitely in that realm. After all, Huo Yun'er had been dead for over ten years, and Tang San had still been able to retrieve her soul and bring it to the God Realm. Based on the timeline, Tang San retrieved her soul before Huo Yuhao ascended to godhood. This meant Huo Yun'er took up a slot in the God Realm long before Huo Yuhao's ascension. Tang San hadn't revived her out of kindness. After all, his trials had pushed Huo Yuhao to the brink of death multiple times. The real reason for reviving Huo Yun'er was to manipulate Huo Yuhao's emotions and turn him into a loyal follower a key step in his "dog training" plan. But Huo Yuhao had another idea. If Electrolux could enter the Underworld, could he extract other souls and revive them as ghosts? For example Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were also dead. If their souls still existed, he might be able to retrieve them and transform them into powerful undead beings. Electrolux pondered for a moment. "To be honest, I do want to enter that world and investigate. However, I'm still just a fragment of divine consciousness too weak. For now, I can sense its presence, but I can't step inside. Once my strength recovers sufficiently, I should be able to explore that realm." "Yuhao, from what you're saying, it sounds like you already know something about that world?" Huo Yuhao, using his "Reincarnated God" persona, shared his knowledge. "I have memories related to that world. If I'm not mistaken, it's called the Underworld. Some souls from the Underworld can be retrieved by gods and brought to the God Realm, where they can be resurrected." "Teacher, once you're able to enter the Underworld, you might be able to communicate with some sentient souls. If things go well, some of them might willingly choose to become undead. After all, compared to the Underworld, the outside world is far better." Thank you for the support, friends. If you want to read more chapters in advance, go to my Patreon.
