"See Your Majesty!"
Headed by the Supreme Four Pillars of Bael, Paimon, Astaroth, and Asmodeus, within the Pure Land of Bliss, seventy-two demon gods kneel respectfully on one knee.
Some of them have the form of human beings, some take the form of beasts, some are a mix of humans and beasts, and some have four different shapes.
It looks very strange, but this is their most fundamental and basic form. These are the seventy-two pillars of demon gods, representing the seventy-two pillars of hell. In the great world of biblical mythology, the pillars of hell are the seventy-two demon gods; they are supporting hell.
"Um."
Hades nodded indifferently, quietly looking at the seventy-two demon gods in front of him. The nine-pointed star between his brows bloomed with dazzling light, and the next moment, seventy-two gorgeous underworld garments appeared, floating in the sky before the seventy-two demon gods.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The seventy-two pillar demon gods saluted again, without any politeness. The underworld garments attached to their bodies in an instant, and their aura increased several times. The ultimate power of Hades emerged, and the underworld universe unfolded.
At this moment, compared with the original desolation, the underworld universe has become very prosperous after the inclusion of hell gods and three thousand dream gods. The seventy-two pillar demon gods naturally did not hesitate to integrate the laws they were good at into it. In an instant, seventy-two stars of the underworld emerged, shining bright light in the underworld, which exuded endless darkness.
Wisps of brilliance burst out, and in an instant, calm was restored. The seventy-two demon gods realized the ultimate power that they could control. Their cultivation methods were still not quite the same as those of other gods.
Normal gods practice the law, and some practice the kingdom of God, while in the world of Japanese mythology, they cultivate faith. But in the biblical mythology world, it is polarized. There are only heaven and hell in this world; heaven is cultivated through the power of faith.
The difference is that the gods in heaven absorb faith, but they are never controlled by it. This is the particularity of heaven, while the demons in hell absorb souls. They contract souls one by one and gradually master each special soul.
In fact, they will actively cultivate the soul. An ordinary person, once their soul is cultivated by a demon, may become a demon king who destroys the world, a brave man who saves the world, or even a god!
No matter what the outcome, the moment you sign the contract with the devil, your soul can never escape. The time consumed is negligible, and what is replaced is a perfected soul.
Basically, all the demons in hell are trained this way, especially Satan, who has cultivated many demon kings, brave men, heroes, kings, and gods of war...
Satan has absorbed countless such souls and has stepped up to a higher level of apex step by step.
"Back off!"
When Persephone arrived, she waved her hand lightly.
"Yes!"
"Master Hades!"
The seventy-two pillars of demon gods retreated one after another, returning to their respective demon god pillars.
Unlike other gods of the underworld who want to create their own planets, they don't need to do this.
Each demon god pillar is actually a small world; they have casually decorated their own world within their Demon God Pillar.
Persephone said softly, "Husband, this is..."
Hades responded gently, "Persephone, the demons cultivate souls through contracts, and every soul cultivated will provide pure soul power."
As husband and wife, Persephone immediately understood what her husband meant. If the demons can do this, why couldn't she?
Hades has explored the three paths of divine cultivation: law, belief, and the kingdom of God. Although he wasn't sure if they could take root and sprout, he sought to cultivate individuals who could comprehend the vast universe.
Hades has always been trying to become stronger—not just using his identity as a god, but as the king of the underworld, accepting all methods and absorbing them step by step.
However, whether this path is viable remains uncertain. Although demons and gods are both divine beings, they are fundamentally different. Gods, demon gods, demons, evil gods...
While they may all pursue the ultimate power, their natures are completely different. The methods of cultivation may be similar, but is such a unique soul contract method possible? This is unclear!
This point cannot be underestimated; it is absolutely crucial. If not handled properly, absorbing different soul powers could lead to significant trouble.
"Hmm"
Persephone pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, we can try. It's good to succeed, but we won't lose anything if we fail. Moreover, from my perspective, this choice seems fundamentally sound and shouldn't fail."
"Hall of Valor."
Hades spoke lightly.
Persephone continued, "Yes, I share the same idea. If we're going to try, then let's give it a shot. Cultivating heroes, demon kings, and brave men step by step. Even if it fails in the end, the underworld will still gain an elite heroic spirit, which isn't a bad outcome."
"I agree with my sister's idea."
Yan Mo stepped forward, stating, "There are still close to 100,000 years until the beginning of everything. I feel we should try. If successful, the Hall of Valor can transform into the Seat of Valor and integrate into the World Tree."
This could bring significant improvement, and if His Majesty can absorb pure soul power, that would be beneficial.
Yan Mo had just arranged the affairs of hell and returned to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, finally learning about this matter.
She strongly agreed with this notion. This is not just a good thing; it is a very significant opportunity. If handled properly, the improvements it could bring would be substantial for the underworld.
However, this is a very time-consuming process, and it may take tens of thousands, millions of years, or even more!
These are all very possible scenarios. The construction of the Hall of Valor will certainly not be easy, let alone transforming it into the Throne of Valor, which is extremely challenging.
Of course, in this long period of 100,000 years, everything can be attempted. If it fails, nothing is lost; if it succeeds, that would be the best outcome!
"Can."
Hades uttered this word lightly.
