The heart was pounding violently—no, it wasn't the beating of a heart, but the pulsation of a small universe. With each beat, a terrifying power erupted forth. Yes! It was pure power. Stander's aura became increasingly formidable as he gradually comprehended a brand new law, strands of divine energy bursting forth.
The Ugly Star Deadly Beetle: Stander.
He had stepped into the realm of the will of the gods. Unlike Huihuo's law of flames or Miao's law of sleep, Stander had grasped the even more formidable law of power—a truly terrifying force. Under such circumstances, no god would willingly bear it.
Alongside Stander, other Underworld fighters were also undergoing transformation.
As Stander progressed, six Heavenly Underworld fighters—Charon, Huihuo, Quinn, Stander, Ochs, and Di Cao—had ascended to a higher level. They had already comprehended the ninth sense or the will of the gods, and their next progress would yield tremendous improvements. This marked the transformation of the Underworld fighters.
Indeed, even the grass had transformed.
Tianqiaoxing · Hanuman: Weed Grass.
This too was a manifestation of the will of the gods, with Di Cao comprehending the special law of battle. This unique law was quite remarkable, and given Hanuman's significance, it was somewhat understandable.
In addition to the transformations among the Underworld fighters, momentous changes were occurring throughout the realm.
With Miao mastering the law of sleep, they had ascended to the third-rate god level within the will of the gods. Other Underworld fighters were gradually evolving and improving step by step.
Earth Yin Star · The Headless Horseman: Chubb had stepped into the small universe of the ninth sense and severed himself from worldly concerns.
Digouxing Lailaps: Okino Suzuri had comprehended the law of sharpness, stepping into the level of the will of the gods and becoming a third-rate god.
Earth Brave Star · Emen Ant: Tilong had entered the small universe of the ninth sense and cut off his good thoughts.
Dixiongxing · Kern: Comprehended the law of destruction, stepping into the will of the gods and becoming a third-rate god.
Dimensional Star Sasquick: Maggie entered the small universe of the ninth sense and severed her own evil thoughts.
Moreover, the other Underworld fighters were still undergoing transformation, and it wouldn't be long before they achieved perfect evolution.
It could be said that the whole Underworld was in motion.
Every Underworld fighter was accelerating their growth. It wouldn't be long before they comprehended the ninth sense or mastered their respective laws, leading to further transformation.
This was the current state of the Underworld.
In addition to the gods of the Underworld, the strength of the Underworld fighters was rapidly improving.
Such a remarkable transformation remained unknown to the outside world; no one had any inkling of the terror brewing within the Underworld. After all, the Underworld itself was shrouded in invisibility, indifferent to external affairs.
Did it have anything to do with the outside world? No! It meant nothing at all. For the Underworld, the changes beyond its borders held no significance. The Underworld had always regarded external developments with indifference!
At the same time, sensing the changes within the Underworld, Erebus smiled and remarked, "With the breakthroughs of these Underworld fighters, these children are gradually stepping into the realm of the ninth sense and the will of the gods. I wonder if someone will comprehend the power of the universe."
Nyx, scanning with her divine sense, added gently, "It may be challenging to grasp the will of the universe, but if they succeed, the gathered ghost fighters—the Evil God, Absolute God, and the paths of the Great Universe—might achieve something extraordinary…"
"Enough!" Erebus interrupted Nyx, shaking his head. "This method has never been attempted by any god. It would be prudent not to dwell on it. While success would be wonderful, failure would waste His Majesty's resources."
"True," Nyx agreed. Although this was a potent path, its feasibility remained uncertain. Could a method devised in the boredom of the Primordial gods truly succeed? It was unclear, as no one had attempted it before; the inherent nature of this path posed challenges.
"What path?" Hades's voice emerged slowly. Erebus and Nyx bowed slightly as Hades materialized. They did not kneel, as some privileges still existed.
The couple bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty!"
Hades nodded slightly, his demeanor calm. "What kind of path?"
"Well," Erebus began, shaking his head slightly. "Your Majesty, we explored this path when the Primordial gods were feeling bored. However, its feasibility is very low; it is said that almost no one has successfully pursued it."
Hades responded calmly, "Tell me about it."
"Of course," Erebus nodded.
"Your Majesty had reached such a level that many things were already understood without extensive explanation. If it were possible, then His Majesty would naturally try. If it were not feasible, he would not pursue it further."
"Understood," Hades replied.
Erebus explained earnestly, "Initially, we Primordial gods contemplated the division of the world into three aspects: the Evil God, Absolute God, and the Great Universe. However, while these three powers differ, advancing beyond the realm of the absolute god requires mastery of all three. No one has ever managed this, as even a casual attempt can lead to collapse!"
From Erebus's words, Hades gathered the essence of their discussion. To put it bluntly, it reflected the thoughts of a group of Primordial gods.
They had not reached the level of absolute gods but were engaged in research. If they were to attain absolute divinity, they would seek to break free from the constraints of the Chaos Sea and ascend to the supreme Universe god level.
Ultimately, the Primordial gods proposed that, if all went well, they could fully grasp the three systems and integrate them into one—this was the essence of the Universe god. Yet, this remained merely an idea, and the actual potential for success was unknown.
However, while the speaker was unintentional, the listener was intrigued. Hades pondered this idea, sensing a possibility worth exploring. While others might struggle, Hades had the capability to pursue it.
