In the Realm of the Undead, Hell's power spread like black ripples, permeating the entire world. A vortex of dark energy formed in the sky, like the reflection of Hell's gate, making the realm even more eerie and terrifying.
Thick black smoke filled the air, suffocating all within. Shui Wuya's consciousness gradually sank into the deep, dark recesses of the undead world. Within the darkness, he sensed an ancient and overwhelming force.
He closed his eyes, focusing on this power, gradually merging with it. Slowly, a colossal tombstone emerged from the burial grounds in front of him. The tombstone was pitch-black, inscribed with strange and mysterious runes, exuding an aura of curses.
Cracks marred its surface, giving it a sense of ancient wear, as though it had weathered countless eons—a symbol of immortality.
[Ding! Advanced power detected in the Realm of the Undead—Hell's Power. The Undead have unlocked the path to a million-year advancement—the Undead God! The first divine seat of the Undead has been granted—God of the Undead.]
[The Realm of the Undead has been greatly enhanced. Current completion level: 70%!]
A system prompt echoed.
"Excellent!" Shui Wuya felt deeply satisfied.
"From now on, any undead who reaches a million-year cultivation will be able to ascend to godhood without needing a divine seat. Of course, the one holding the God of the Undead seat will undoubtedly be stronger, so it must be reserved for the mightiest of the undead."
Shui Wuya's heart brimmed with anticipation.
"I wonder, who among the undead will be worthy of this honor?" he mused, his gaze sweeping over the countless undead in the realm, his eyes glinting with intrigue. Then, with a flash, he vanished into the sky.
Deep within the undead world lay a grim and foreboding region known as the Land of Bones. This desolate area was filled with countless skeletal remains, exuding a deathly aura that sent chills through any who approached.
In the very depths of the Land of Bones, inside a massive cave, a powerful undead bone dragon lay coiled, absorbing the undead energy as it cultivated. Its enormous body was riddled with scars, evidence of countless battles and slaughter.
On its massive wings, five colored marks glowed, representing the five elements that circled it, forming a formidable protective field.
Currently, it was the strongest entity in the undead world!
Suddenly, the bone dragon felt the will of the world itself and shuddered.
The heavenly rule that permitted a complete transformation for those with over a million years of cultivation flooded its mind.
This revelation ignited a burning desire within it.
"I must train even harder and become the first to undergo this transformation in the Realm of the Undead!" the bone dragon vowed to itself, its eyes filled with ambition and resolve.
To rule the entire undead world. To be second to none but above all others!
That was the ultimate goal of its relentless pursuit.
Above the Land of Bones, Shui Wuya stood motionless, gazing deep into its depths. He could feel the bone dragon's determination—its unyielding, immortal will, forged through countless trials and tribulations.
It had impressed him.
"Very well. Since you're so determined, I'll grant it to you."
With a hint of admiration in his eyes, Shui Wuya tossed the divine seat of the God of the Undead into the Land of Bones without hesitation, then turned to leave.
"The Divine Monument is now placed here. Whether you can pass the Nine Tests of the Undead and claim the inheritance depends on your abilities."
After Shui Wuya departed, powerful undead energy filled the area. The inheritance power of the divine seat surged forth, transforming the entire region into a land of legacy.
The Land of Bones was stacked high with piles of skeletal remains. The chilling aura emanating from the skeletons was enough to send shivers down anyone's spine.
To the undead of the Realm of the Undead, this place of inheritance was almost sacred.
The Undead Bone Dragon gazed at the suddenly appeared Tower of Skeletons with shock. It vaguely understood that this was the trial ground for its complete transformation. This grand change in the world must be the work of the supreme Creator!
The dragon trembled with excitement.
"Oh, supreme Creator, thank you for this blessing!"
The Undead Bone Dragon bowed in reverence, expressing its deepest gratitude to Shui Wuya.
Meanwhile, the Realm of the Undead, infused with the divine power, began to slowly change. Over time, numerous divine seats naturally emerged across the burial grounds, rising like stone tablets throughout the realm.
Shui Wuya had given everyone the opportunity to ascend to godhood.
In the depths of the burial grounds, three crocodiles that had hatched from undead eggs months ago had grown considerably. They lay powerfully on the ground, their mouths open wide as they greedily absorbed the surrounding undead energy.
Using their robust bodies and sharp teeth, they had ruthlessly dismembered countless enemies, firmly claiming dominion over this part of the burial grounds.
At this moment, one of the crocodiles unintentionally swallowed a strange stone glowing with an eerie light.
"This tastes awful. What is this?"
The crocodile tried to spit out the stone, but noticed that it was gradually glowing more intensely inside its stomach. As the stone's light grew brighter, the surrounding energy began to change.
Suddenly, the peculiar stone emitted a powerful divine force, directly affecting the crocodile's body. Its form began to transform; its muscles became more defined, and the patterns on its scales became clearer, as if it had undergone a metamorphosis.
The crocodile's eyes flashed with realization. It now understood that the mysterious stone was not just any ordinary rock but a legendary divine seat of the Undead!
Soon after, a divine trial was imposed upon the crocodile.
*[Divine Trial of the Undead, First Trial: Devour an Undead General, with a time limit of one year.]*
Previously confused, the crocodile now knew its next goal.
"I need to devour an undead general with at least thirty thousand years of cultivation. Successfully doing so will allow me to pass the first divine trial and gain divine power."
"This tremendous opportunity is truly the Creator's favor!"
The crocodile's heart was filled with excitement as it looked skyward, thankful for the Creator's blessing.
Feeling the powerful energy surging through its body, it began to crawl towards the deeper parts of the burial grounds with fierce determination.
It was resolved to complete the divine trial and become a stronger being!
Elsewhere, Shui Wuya had left the Realm of the Undead and returned to the real world.
"I did it!"
Standing at the site of the Rakshasa God's inheritance, Qian Renxue, who had passed the Seventh Divine Trial, was ecstatic as she felt the divine power surging within her.
But in the next moment, under the influence of the divine power, her thoughts drifted far away to her grandfather.
"Grandfather, did you see this?"
Recalling her grandfather's care and teachings, a strong sense of longing surged within Qian Renxue.
Surviving the trials, she was filled with a myriad of emotions.
Under this emotional influence, an illusion appeared before her eyes. It seemed as though Shui Wuya, who stood before her, was the powerful and reassuring figure she admired.
"Qian Renxue, what are you looking at?"
Shui Wuya's stern voice brought Qian Renxue back to reality.
