Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 382: Chapter 176 Turmoil in the Netherworld_2

Although the Master of North Mang Mountain was proclaimed the first Ghost Immortal of the Primal Chaos Realm, even at his peak, he relied on the Discarnation Divine Power to escape the constraints of the Netherworld and only managed to suppress one of the 10 Netherworld Commanders.

Even in his peak days, the Master of North Mang Mountain was but a ghost object, and under Yama’s command he had no choice but to be cast into the kingdom of Hell.

Not to mention now, after experiencing ten thousand years of Spirit Energy depletion, maintaining even the water monster is difficult, let alone establishing some connection with six of the 10th Hall Yamas?

“There must be a great secret here!”

Shen Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he said indifferently,

“Do you know what exactly is the matter between the Master of North Mang Mountain and the 10th Hall Yama?”

The Netherworld Commander Bull Head suddenly raised his head, and a flicker of barely detectable suspicion crossed his eyes, but under that almost tangible suppression of Divinity Path, he quickly lowered his head and said:

“To my knowledge, the esteemed Yamas got involved with the North Mang Mountain affair on the pretext of the 10th Hall Yama Array Formation.”

Although subtle, Bull Head’s changes did not escape Shen Yuan’s eyes, and he realized that his previous questioning had already raised suspicions in the Netherworld Commander.

However, Shen Yuan was not worried, as his current self was no longer as before, having to carefully impersonate another identity.

The realm demonstrated by Bull Head when possessing the Ghost King was, at best, at the Spirit Refining Peak, and his most adept Divine Power, the Netherworld Arresting Soul Reclaiming Life, was an extension of Divinity Path and simply could not be used against Shen Yuan.

Even if Bull Head discovered an issue, Shen Yuan could easily slay him under the suppression of Divinity Path and crush this split soul, such was the confidence granted by the growth of Shen Yuan’s own strength.

“The 10th Hall Yama Array Formation that the Great Zhou Dynasty established to seal the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land?”

“Yes, precisely that array formation.”

The Netherworld Commander Bull Head couldn’t help but shrink his neck, unsure why he had just felt an inexplicable sense of lethal threat, but fortunately, it was fleeting, making him behave even more obediently.

“During the era when the 10th Hall Yama Array Formation was established, the kingdom of Hell was still in contact with the Primal Chaos Realm’s human Imperial Dynasty.

In order to seal those souls from the Ancient Era and the grievances of the Mortal Emperor, the 10th Hall Yama gathered their divine authority and the Great Zhou Dynasty’s national destiny to erect the 10th Hall Yama Array Formation.

With the Primal Chaos Realm’s Great Schism that occurred ten thousand years ago, even the kingdom of Hell fell into turmoil, and the 10th Hall Yama urgently needed to reclaim their divine authority to suppress the disturbances within Hell, and thus they planned to dismantle the 10th Hall Yama Array Formation.

According to the Yamas, the ancient ghosts had long perished in the passage of ten thousand years, and even if the array were dismantled, it would not bring any harm, on the contrary, dismantling the array would aid them in regaining their authority.”

Hearing this, Shen Yuan grasped the meaning behind the Netherworld Commander’s phrase “ostensibly.”

The 10th Hall Yama governed the kingdom of Hell, commanding countless supernatural beings.

How much authority could a mere 10th Hall Yama Array Formation hold? It was certainly not enough to cause several Yamas to violate prohibitions and meddle in the matters of the living world.

Moreover, affected by the Primal Chaos Realm’s Great Schism, the contact between the Primal Chaos Realm and all other realms was cut off, and although the Netherworld still had the Netherworld commanders as a medium of contact, breaking through the blockade of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons to intervene would surely cost a great deal.

To do so just for an array formation is a story that can only fool the naive.

Shen Yuan looked at the Netherworld Commander Bull Head: “Ostensibly? Then what is the real purpose?”

The Netherworld Commander buried his head even lower: “The actual matter may involve the authority of Hell.

However, your humble god does not have the privilege of knowing such things. I have only vaguely heard that the kingdom of Hell has also long since been cut off from the Upper World and all the unrest within Hell is related to this.”

Shen Yuan’s eyes narrowed, with a flicker of starlight in their depths, as the Star Astrology Divine Power began to deduce the truth using the available information.

However, Shen Yuan did not rely on the power of the stars for this deduction, as it related to the Master of North Mang Mountain, Netherworld commanders, the kingdom of Hell, and the 10th Hall Yama, among other powerful experts.

There were too many high-ranking powerful experts involved, and the Second Realm Star Astrology Divine Power was simply not enough to deduce information about these experts.

Therefore, Shen Yuan simply used the computational ability of the Star Astrology Divine Power, combined with the available information, to deduce a possibility that came closest to the truth.

A few breaths later, a thought arose in Shen Yuan’s mind.

“That matter involving the authority of Hell is very likely to be connected to the Master of North Mang Mountain!”

“Only those who hold the authority of designing the Underworld can negotiate trades with the 10th Hall Yama,” said the Master of North Mang Mountain.

This thought emerged, and Shen Yuan’s mind became incredibly clear.

“According to Zhang Jiang’s experiences in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, and the information that the Ghost King concealed his identity to emerge from it,

the Master of North Mang Mountain must have sought refuge in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land during the Spirit Energy depletion era, using some unknown methods to avoid the curse of the forbidden land, thus preserving himself without perishing during these ten thousand years.

But while it’s easy to enter the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, leaving is incredibly difficult.

The 10th Hall Yama Array Formation seals off the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, the stronger the Ghost Object, the more severe the suppression it faces from the Array, and the Master of North Mang Mountain could not escape from this predicament.

In the last Age of Spirit Energy Tide, the Master of North Mang Mountain had established contact with the kingdom of Hell, offering an object related to the Underworld’s authority as a price for the 10th Hall Yama to release the Array, thereby obtaining the token of the Samsara King.

Perhaps due to the Yama’s internal power struggles, or maybe differing stances within, the Master of North Mang Mountain failed to free himself in the last Spirit Energy era.

In this era of Spirit Energy, the 10th Hall Yama became increasingly desperate for the object in the Master of North Mang Mountain’s possession, as could be inferred from Netherworld Commander Bull Head’s words.

It seems that the Yama has reached a consensus, wanting to unlock the 10th Hall Yama Array Formation.”

Having deduced this far, Shen Yuan had made up his mind, that since he was already against the Master of North Mang Mountain, he must resolve the source of calamity before the 10th Hall Yama could truly make their move.

If the Master of North Mang Mountain were to successfully break free from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, the spread of the water monsters would certainly overtake the entire North Mang Mountain territory, and by then, no one in the Primal Chaos Realm of the present would be able to check the power of this First Ghost Immortal of the age.

Having obtained the information he sought, Shen Yuan’s interest in Netherworld Commander Bull Head waned slightly.

With the droop of his eyelids, Shen Yuan spoke indifferently,

“I am aware of the situation, and I will handle the affairs of North Mang Mountain. You may take your leave!”

After saying this, Shen Yuan paid no more attention to Netherworld Commander Bull Head, possessed by the Ghost King, and turned to walk towards the direction of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

Netherworld Commander Bull Head watched Shen Yuan’s departing silhouette, hesitating in his gaze, but ultimately gritted his teeth and bowed deeply to Shen Yuan.

The massive ghostly head of the deity thudded repeatedly against the ground, the entire mountain range trembling at the impact.

“We, the gods of the Netherworld, seek to maintain the balance of the Primal Chaos Realm, yet the kingdom of Hell is chaotic, and new gods born of greed desire to intervene in the affairs of the Primal Chaos Realm.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Your humble god pleads for your mercy, to uphold the order in the kingdom of Hell, granting the gods of the Netherworld justice!”

Shen Yuan’s departing footsteps paused for a moment.

The few words spoken by Netherworld Commander Bull Head contained a great deal of information.

The struggle between the kingdom of Hell and the Netherworld concerns the balance between Yin and Yang of the entire Primal Chaos Realm, a matter Shen Yuan had no wish to be involved with.

While Shen Yuan’s cultivation and strength might be unmatched in the present world, in the presence of the gods of the kingdom of Hell, his power meant little, with his only reliance being the Gods Purging Divine Power.

Nevertheless, Gods Purging Divine Power does not suppress the incense offering deities omnisciently, and especially since Shen Yuan’s Gods Purging power was only at the first realm, this further limited his capabilities.

He was about to refuse, but in a moment of trance, Shen Yuan saw endless stars twinkling before him, with the illumination from Star Astrology Divine Power guiding him.

In the struggle mentioned by Netherworld Commander Bull Head, between the kingdom of Hell and the Netherworld, Shen Yuan seemed to perceive a thick line of cause and effect that had already tied him to this affair.

Intuition from the Star Astrology Divine Power told Shen Yuan, if he refused this connection of cause and effect, he would certainly regret it in the future.

Sensing that thick line of cause and effect, Shen Yuan attempted to trace its origin but could only perceive a hazy vision of the future, yet a sense of unfamiliar familiarity lingered in his mind.

As time passed, Netherworld Commander Bull Head, kneeling and bowing continuously on the ground, felt his heart sinking into an abyss.

He clearly knew that the figure before him would be the only chance for the gods of the Netherworld, but he could not be sure whether the other party would be willing to get involved.

The ghostly deity’s heart grew increasingly desperate, and just at this moment, that majestic voice suddenly echoed in the woods.

“I will pay a visit to the Netherworld.”
