21st Century Necromancer

The cosmos is vast and boundless, with countless stars twinkling against the deep and pitch-black backdrop, each star a massive sun.

Numerous suns make up nebulas, star clusters, and galaxies, filling the entire universe.

And the Multiverse… is even more immeasurable than the universe.

Countless worlds and universes compose the entire Multiverse, adorning it as the stars do the universe, while the River of Time and the Nether River run through all the worlds.

If someone could witness the grandeur and splendor of the entire Multiverse for themselves, they would lose all ability to speak in that instant, their thoughts and soul would cease to ponder, for no man or deity can withstand the impact of such a scene, and they would never find the words to describe it.

For no language can capture a fraction of this sight, the impact of the information on their soul would be too great to bear, and even deities would lose themselves in the spectacle containing a multitude of universal information.

Fortunately, the vast majority of people and deities cannot see the true face of the Multiverse; they can only glimpse a tiny fraction of it.

Chen Yu is no different at this moment, although the power of the Ritual Altar has magnified his perception, allowing him to sense a corner of the Multiverse, his view is limited to an insignificant portion of the world he is in within the Multiverse, and even the entire world is beyond his observation.

Of course, Chen Yu doesn't have a death wish to observe the entire world, which would only result in his brain exploding like a smashed watermelon, and his soul being shattered into idiocy.

It's an inevitable outcome, as Chen Yu, though he has ascended and transformed in terms of Life Level, remains a mortal and has not yet entered the Legendary realm, let alone the domain of the deities.

For ordinary people, their means of observing the world is limited to seeing with eyes, sensing with the body; their world is three-dimensional, it is two-dimensional.

But for deities, the world they perceive is utterly different, for it is three-dimensional to them, with deities capable of observing a person or a thing simultaneously from past and future.

The amount of information a deity can see in that instant is likely more than enough for an average person to spend a lifetime on, and a mortal who gains the sight of a deity would not be able to handle such terrifying amounts of information.

This is one reason why Seers and Prophets meet with untimely ends, as they cannot bear the things they see.

Chen Yu will not pry into all this; he doesn't want to turn his brain into a burst watermelon. His goal is merely to find a tributary of the Nether River flowing through this world.

The task is not difficult; the Nether River has existed since the birth of the Multiverse, and one only needs to know the method of search to find it.

However, Chen Yu is somewhat surprised to find that the tributaries of the Nether River running through this world are not limited to one; what was originally a single tributary has been split into several.

Considering the Pantheons of this world, Chen Yu is not unable to understand this, and he harbors no desire to pry, as these matters are not within his scope of exploration; he is still a far cry from the realm of the deities, and it is best to focus on his own tasks.

Chen Yu does not tamper with the main course of the Nether River flowing through this world but instead directs his attention toward a small tributary heading toward Japan… the peninsula country across the water.

After all, by any account, they seem to be the weakest in East Asia, and the tributary heading their way is the smallest, making it the easiest to divert a portion.

Now that the target is set, Chen Yu naturally commences his work: establishing a spatial channel, creating a "hole" from the small tributary of the Nether River, and diverting the Stygian Water into his own space.

Given the "danger" the Nether River presents to the living and to souls, Chen Yu doesn't plan to keep the river on the surface of this space, but instead intends to construct it as an "Underground River," avoiding unnecessary trouble.

The task of extracting the Stygian Water doesn't cause any disturbances; opening a spatial channel, Chen Yu pours the Stygian Water into a pre-set course, and as the water flows, the seemingly ordinary river water begins to emit the unique atmosphere of the Nether River, tinting the surrounding soil a distinct deep black, the color of blood once dried and turned dark.

In many myths, this is because the soil on the banks of the Nether River is saturated with blood, but in reality… this is simply the inevitable color the soil turns when Stygian Water flows in, having nothing to do with blood or sin.

Chen Yu is indifferent to this, watching the Stygian Water flow through the pre-set course, and as it completely emits the essence of the Nether River, he knows this step is complete.

While inspecting his work, Chen Yu looks toward the tributary of the Nether River that originally flowed toward the peninsula country. The stream was already paltry compared to the one rushing to the mainland—a difference between a creek and a river, and even the tributary running to Japan's side couldn't compare.

With Chen Yu diverting a new tributary, the water level decreased by nearly a tenth, and the river surface became shallower.

Witnessing this, Chen Yu couldn't help but feel bewildered. Although he knew that the so-called Pantheon of the peninsula country lacked substance, the fact that they were so weak in drawing the water of the Nether River was perplexing—their strength was barely mediocre, barely touching the threshold of the deities' realm.

Even a more potent Legendary, if knowledgeable of the correct method, could draw more water of the Nether River than this.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Of course, this has little to do with Chen Yu; on the contrary, the weaker they are, the fewer repercussions for him to worry about for having diverted the water of the Nether River. Since he created a "hole" upstream of their tributary, the likelihood of them noticing anything awry is low, and he isn't concerned about retaliation.

Having finished the task of extracting the Nether River, Chen Yu naturally withdraws his perception, but as he retracts it, he can't help but recklessly glance at the entire region of Japan, which causes him a shock akin to a lightning strike. Not only does it throw him from the Ritual Altar, but two lines of bloody tears also flow from his eyes...
