My clan is super powerful

Professor Confucius glanced at Zhang Zhi beside him, then at the majestic city gate in front of him, and slowly said, "Actually, I'm a little curious, what exactly is inside this Gate of Hell?"

"Why are so many creatures from the underworld emerging from this Gate of Hell?"

"Is that the underworld inside?"

"However, the underworld cannot coexist with other worlds."

"You previously said that there was a Netherworld within your small world. I thought you had hidden the path of the Six Paths of Reincarnation underground, which is why it was called the Netherworld."

"Don't tell us that this underworld is actually the underworld that you pass through on your way to the underworld!"

"These are two completely unrelated cultivation paths, how could they possibly be involved?"

"Moreover, that person just now had a strong fluctuation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation technique on him."

"Is he a cultivator who follows the path of the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"

"Why did he come out of the underworld? Is it because the underworld within your small world has the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"

"Then why is there the Six Paths of Reincarnation within this underworld?"

"Why is there an underworld within your little world?"

"Is it because of the six realms of reincarnation?"

"Or perhaps, the Six Paths of Reincarnation exist because of the underworld?"

Upon hearing Professor Confucius's series of questions, Zhang Zhi realized that within this multiverse, he was probably the only one who knew that the Six Paths of Reincarnation were actually the Underworld.

Or rather, the six realms of reincarnation are actually part of the underworld.

After Professor Confucius paused for a moment, Zhang Zhi gestured to him, saying, "Please, teacher!"

"Teacher, please go in and see what's going on first. Then, your disciple will answer any remaining questions you may have."

Professor Confucius turned his head and glanced at Zhang Zhi, then at the creatures passing through the underworld around him, before slowly walking towards the Gates of Hell.

The moment he passed through the Gates of Hell and entered the Underworld, Professor Confucius sensed the dense laws of the Six Paths of Reincarnation within. His pupils contracted slightly, and then he let out a long breath.

He looked up at the sky above the area within the Gates of Hell, and then at the rows of underworld creatures like Ox-Head and Horse-Face flitting about.

He turned to look at Zhang Zhi, and seeing Zhang Zhi nodding at him, he sighed deeply: "This path of the Six Paths of Reincarnation actually comes from within the Underworld!"

"But why does this path of the Six Paths of Reincarnation originate from the Underworld?"

"Why is there a Netherworld within your little world?"

After a pause, he continued, "Is it because of the Gates of Hell?"

Upon hearing Professor Kong's question, Zhang Zhi pondered for a moment before replying, "Actually, you probably already have the answers to many of these questions in your heart, but you just find them too absurd, so you subconsciously ask your student!"

"These six paths of reincarnation are actually a part of the underworld!"

"Or rather, the current path to the underworld, as well as the path of the six realms of reincarnation, are actually part of the original underworld!"

"As for why there is an underworld in my little world? The answer is actually very simple. In the multiverse, every world must have an underworld."

"Moreover, all the underworlds connected to the world are the same."

"Otherwise, how do the souls of creatures in these worlds enter the cycle of reincarnation after death?"

After hearing Zhang Zhi's explanation, Professor Confucius murmured, "Therefore, the path of the Six Paths of Reincarnation is actually part of the underworld!"

"Does every world have an underworld?"

"And the underworld of all worlds is a single entity?"

"What was destroyed back then was actually the underworld that could connect all worlds within the multiverse?"

"The unknown entity that destroyed the underworld back then destroyed all the data related to the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"

"This has led to the fact that no one knows that the current path to the underworld is actually, like the path of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, a part of the former underworld?"

At this point, he suddenly turned to look at Zhang Zhi: "Then how do you know the relationship between the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Underworld?"

"How do we know that the Six Paths of Reincarnation are actually part of the Underworld?"

"After all, those powerful beings back then may have destroyed the Underworld, which was probably already at a level above the main world!"

"Since they are able to destroy the underworld, they can naturally erase any records related to the underworld through the law of cause and effect."

After hearing Professor Confucius's somewhat pointed question, Zhang Zhi did not rush to answer. Instead, he asked Professor Confucius in return, "Indeed, the unknown and incomparably powerful being that destroyed the Underworld back then must have erased all information related to the Underworld."

"But how did the information about the six paths of reincarnation come about?"

"The path of the Six Paths of Reincarnation is also part of the Underworld."

"If information about the six paths of reincarnation can be passed down, then information about the underworld can naturally be passed down as well."

Professor Confucius paused for a moment after hearing Zhang Zhi's words, and said in a low voice:

"That's right. If those beings who destroyed the Underworld back then really didn't want future generations to know anything about the Underworld, they wouldn't have just erased the information about the Underworld; the information about the Six Paths of Reincarnation would definitely have been erased as well."

"But in reality, while the number of people who know about the existence of the Six Paths of Reincarnation is not large, it's definitely not insignificant either!"

"However, no one knows anything about the relationship between the current path to the underworld and the path of the six paths of reincarnation, and the underworld in the past."

Why is this happening?

Looking at Professor Confucius, who was deep in thought, Zhang Zhi hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Teacher, is it possible that the beings or races that destroyed the Underworld back then erased any information related to the Underworld and the Six Paths of Reincarnation within the multiverse after the destruction of the Underworld?"

"However, within this multiverse, there is a certain understanding that they simply cannot erase regarding the underworld and the six paths of reincarnation?"

Upon hearing this, Professor Confucius instinctively blurted out, "It's the consciousness of the multiverse!"

He then slowly nodded and said, "Indeed, within the multiverse, no one can erase memories within the consciousness of the multiverse."

"Therefore, all the information about the six paths of reincarnation is very likely that the consciousness of the multiverse has revealed it to intelligent beings within the multiverse through various means over the past many years."

"However, perhaps for some reason, information about the Six Paths of Reincarnation cannot be widely disseminated. Therefore, it is generally only high-level cultivators who can access this information." At this point, He turned to Zhang Zhi: "So, you mean the information about the Underworld was given to you by the consciousness of the multiverse?"

Zhang Zhi blinked, then said, "I'm not sure either. I naturally learned about the underworld after successfully integrating into this Ghost Gate Card."

Upon hearing this, Professor Confucius's face lit up with realization: "So that's how it is."

"Indeed, just like the six paths of reincarnation, certain prerequisites are required to obtain information related to the underworld."

"It is said that in the beginning, information related to the Six Paths of Reincarnation was only circulated among beings of the level of gods. It was only later, as more and more people learned about it, that it began to spread among cultivators of the middle and lower levels."

"Even so, countless epochs have passed since the beginning, and only a small number of intelligent beings know about the path of the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

"Therefore, it is indeed very possible that one can obtain information about the underworld only by possessing the Gates of Hell."

At this point, Professor Confucius paused suddenly, then his expression shifted slightly: "So, does this mean that currently only our human race has the possibility of knowing information related to this underworld?"

"From this perspective, the consciousness of the multiverse is still very concerned about our human race."

Listening to Professor Confucius trying to justify his reasons, Zhang Zhi felt a little embarrassed. But he couldn't very well say that he knew this information from his previous life, could he?

Therefore, he could only agree, "At present, that is indeed the case. After all, only our World Lord path can integrate the Ghost Gate Card to construct a true underworld within the small world."

After a pause, Zhang Zhi shared his earlier speculation about the underworld: "Actually, I think that in the multiverse, a world without an underworld cannot be considered a complete world."

"I think the reason why no world above the main world has appeared so far is very likely because all the worlds in the multiverse are currently incomplete."

"How could an incomplete world possibly advance to a level above the main world?"

After hearing Zhang Zhi's words, Professor Confucius looked at Zhang Zhi with a somewhat surprised expression, and then a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

After a long while, He slowly nodded and said, "At first glance, your viewpoint seems quite erroneous."

"But after thinking about it carefully, I realized there's actually a slight possibility!"

"Our human race has not been a major player in a region of the world for very long, less than ten eras."

"Strictly speaking, the territory we occupy is not very large, and we are only just beginning to come into contact with the world outside the main world."

"However, we have now received several reports of those beings attempting to break through the barrier of the God Realm."

“We even have the remains of those that broke through the barrier of the main god realm.”

"After taking over that trading temple, we came into contact with even more information related to those above the God Realm and the Great Calamity."

"However, so far, we have not come across any substantial information related to anything above the level of the main world."

"Just like this Desolate Heaven Continent, a wondrous world with hundreds of main god realm beings, it is still a world at the main world level, without any sign of breaking through to a level above the main world level."

"Considering all these factors, this shows that the conditions for advancement in the main world are much more stringent than those for the God Realm."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible that we haven't been able to obtain even a single useful piece of information from the Temple of Trade so far."

"So, it's really possible that what you're describing is true."

"Currently, all worlds within the entire multiverse lack an underworld, making them incomplete and thus impossible to advance to the level of a main world."

At this point, Professor Confucius seemed to realize something, and suddenly stopped, his expression becoming increasingly serious.

After pondering for a while, he let out a long sigh: "Something feels off to me."

"Upgrading to the level of a main god will bring great calamity."

"As for advancing to the main world, it is impossible because of the lack of the underworld."

"How could the severing of the path leading to a higher level than the main world within our multiverse bear traces of human intervention?"

"Is there some entity suppressing our multiverse?"

"Could those beings—no, the masterminds behind it all—be the ones who destroyed the underworld?"

"Is this the fundamental reason why no one above the level of a supreme god has ever appeared in our multiverse?"

Why would the mastermind do this?

"Yes, that's for sure."

"It was precisely because the consciousness of the multiverse discovered this situation that it used various means to inform us of information related to the underworld."

The more Professor Confucius pondered it, the more likely this possibility seemed. He took a deep breath and then murmured to himself again, "So, that great calamity was actually related to the mastermind behind it all?"

But then He shook His head and said, "No, that's not right. Zhuangzi once said that the great calamity that led him to ascend to the realm of a supreme god in his subconscious actually originated from the multiverse."

"But that's a bit strange."

"The one who doesn't want a supreme god or beings of the same level as the main world to be born within the multiverse is definitely the mastermind behind it all."

"But why is this great calamity, which is aimed at those who break through to the Dao Lord God Realm, actually originating from the multiverse itself?"

"Logically speaking, the great calamity should have come from the mastermind behind it all, since it was He who wanted to prevent the birth of beings above the God Realm in the multiverse, right?"

Immediately afterward, Confucius suddenly realized something and subconsciously said, "That's not right!"

"There are many kinds of masterminds behind the scenes who are preventing the birth of beings above the God-level in the multiverse!"

"They don't actually need to directly kill those who want to advance to the Dao Lord God Realm or above. They can use methods such as mental energy pollution to stop those cultivators who want to advance to the Dao Lord God Realm or above."

"So, the spiritual pollution during that great calamity was actually a scheme by the mastermind behind it all?"

But then Professor Confucius immediately shook his head and said, "No, no!"

"The spiritual pollution during the great calamity should have originated from the multiverse itself, not from the mastermind behind it all!"

"So, why would the multiverse do this?"

Zhang Zhi blinked. He had considered similar questions before, so he actually had a vague answer in his mind. (End of Chapter)
