Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 147 The True Nine Netherworld?

"Brother Qiye, Brother Qiye?!"

A voice called out to him, pulling him back to reality.

Looking at Li Yueyao, who was filled with worry, he smiled and shook his head, saying:
"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Thinking about what he had just witnessed, Li Qiye's heart remained unsettled for a long time.

"Why is it that even after returning to the real world, he can still see ghost money flying everywhere?"

For a brief moment, Li Qiye thought he hadn't left that world, but had instead fallen into an illusion, and had been in that illusion for the entire time.

Jian Wuhen deliberately pulled himself out of the illusion and saw the real world, but now he is in the illusion again.

But that’s not right!
The system's reward is definitely genuine; since it has already been distributed, it means that I have indeed left that world.

Recalling the weeping and sacrificial sounds he heard while lying in that ancient bronze coffin, as well as the chanting of those bald monks, Li Qiye frowned slightly.

The idea that the world was the Netherworld or the Underworld made Li Qiye believe it even more.

But now I'm back in reality!

How can we still see ghost money scattered all over the sky?
"Could it be that there is more than one Netherworld?"

Li Qiye thought to himself.

However, Li Qiye recalled what Jian Wuhen, or rather, Jian Wuhen's predecessor Xue Linfeng, had said:
"Please take a look at the true face of this world!"

What was his purpose in showing me these things?

To be honest, Li Qiye considered himself to have some connection with Jian Wuhen, but the other party's predecessor, Xue Linfeng, was a different story.

It is astonishing that a terrifying being at the level of a Divine Lord could not die completely even at this point and could be briefly revived with the help of Jian Wuhen's spirit.

How could Li Qiye possibly trust someone like that completely?

In short, the other party definitely had an ulterior motive.

However, Li Qiye currently has too little information to guess the other party's true purpose.

"only……"

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Li Qiye's face: "So what if this is the real 'Nine Netherworld Domain'?"

"Since it has developed to such a thriving state now, it means that long ago, someone did the same thing as me, making this place no longer like the 'Nine Netherworld'."

"It seems my idea was right. That 'Nine Netherworld' will one day develop into a world just like this one, becoming no different from the world of the living."

Li Qiye calmed down and quickly adjusted his emotions.

In fact, he possesses a system that gives him absolute confidence regardless of his circumstances.

In any case, nothing is unacceptable to Li Qiye.

If you can accept time travel, what else can't you accept?
In short, since we're here, let's make the best of it.

Regardless of their true nature, at least on the surface they still look like a person.

"Perhaps for those who are truly alive, this is the Netherworld or the Underworld."

"But for those who have lived here from the beginning, it doesn't matter if they are really ghosts or phantoms. On the contrary, they feel that those who are alive are the odd ones out."

Thinking about all this, Li Qiye felt a sense of clarity.

"This is the real world, the realm of the living!"

The war between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, and the Primordial Holy Land has ended.

They knew that their entire scheme was ultimately exposed by Emperor Yuan, who then orchestrated a grand gathering of geniuses, causing them heavy losses and leaving them with nothing.

Although they were unwilling, there was no other way but to launch a nationwide war and destroy the Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, the cost would be too high, unbearable for the Eastern Jin Dynasty, as well as for the Myriad Demon Palace and the Primordial Holy Land. Moreover, the Great Zhou Dynasty possessed profound resources; even if the three major powers ultimately won, they would suffer devastating losses.

In this situation, it only benefits other forces, allowing them to reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

Ultimately, their situation was not much better than that of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

They couldn't understand why the Great Zhou Dynasty knew about this.

What puzzled them even more was why Emperor Yuan would be so generous as to gather the geniuses of various forces and share this secret realm, which was likely the ruins of immortals, with everyone.

This time, the three major forces were extremely frustrated.

Not only did they end up with nothing, but they also offended the Great Zhou Dynasty.

They gained nothing and even lost several powerful experts at the Void Realm.

north.

"After fighting for so long, why should you just end the war like that?!"

Qin Linglong was dressed in silver armor, with a red cape fluttering in the wind behind her, but her face was full of anger.

"This is what war is all about."

The female warrior standing beside her spoke calmly.

She was still wearing her red armor, still holding that ancient halberd, and said in a calm voice:

"You think it shouldn't end because they started the war but haven't paid the price, is that right?"

"That's right, they need to pay the price!"

Qin Linglong gritted her teeth and said, "They inexplicably started a war, causing heavy casualties to our Great Zhou Dynasty, and now they say they won't fight anymore. Why should we listen to them?"

The female war goddess shook her head and said, "Just as you said, those soldiers suffered heavy casualties, but look at those soldiers, what was their reaction when they heard that they could go home immediately after the war?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Linglong was taken aback.

I subconsciously glanced at the soldiers not far away and saw that their brows were full of fatigue, but mixed with a hint of joy.

For a moment, Qin Linglong fell silent.

She suddenly realized that these soldiers were different from her.

For them, once they went to the battlefield, they could die on the battlefield at any time.

War is a meat grinder; no matter how many lives are thrown into it, it can never be filled.

Even if we fight to the very end and defeat the three major forces, so what?
The ultimate price to pay would be absolutely terrifying.

Does this make sense for the dead?

For their families, it is an even greater loss to a loved one or the pillar of their household.

The saying goes, "One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand."

Qin Linglong immediately understood the meaning of those words.

Just then, the voice of the Goddess of War rang out again.

“These soldiers are from the Great Zhou. Since joining the army, they have long been prepared to die. It is only natural for them to be afraid of death, but if they really have to die, they will do so without hesitation.”

"As the granddaughter of General Qin, if you truly care about the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty, then strive to become stronger."

"War is inevitable. One day you will encounter a war more brutal than this, and only by becoming strong enough can you change the course of the war."

After saying this, the female war goddess walked away into the distance, wielding her halberd.

Qin Linglong hurriedly took a few steps forward and asked, "Sister Goddess of War, aren't you coming back to the Imperial Mausoleum City with us?"
