My clan is super powerful

Just as Zhang Zhi was about to say something, Professor Confucius suddenly turned his head to look behind him.

Behind them was the entrance to the Gates of Hell, where a large number of souls began to pour into the underworld.

Even after suddenly learning the most important secrets within the multiverse, Professor Confucius's pupils still contracted sharply upon seeing those souls.

There were no souls wandering around the entrance to the Gates of Hell. When Professor Confucius entered the Underworld, he was preoccupied with the mastermind behind it all and did not carefully investigate the situation inside the Underworld. Therefore, he was unaware that there were a large number of alien creatures' souls inside the Underworld.

This was the first time He had seen so many unmutated souls so clearly.

Professor Confucius kept his eyes fixed on the various souls that were being guided by underworld creatures like Ox-Head and Horse-Face as they headed deeper into the underworld.

As the first batch of souls entered the depths of the underworld, He withdrew His gaze and turned to ask Zhang Zhi, "Is this Gate of Hell actually an underworld with the laws of the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"

Zhang Zhi nodded.

Professor Confucius continued, "Every time the Gates of Hell open, a large number of souls pass through them and enter the Underworld?"

Zhang Zhi nodded again, paused for a moment, and then said, "Teacher, as you know, I actually have two small worlds."

"Both of my little worlds are fraught with danger."

"Because of the Gates of Hell, both of my small worlds are connected to this space, which can barely be considered a fragment of the original underworld."

"And once this space is connected, the Six Paths of Reincarnation will spread outwards from Fengdu, which is the city where the Gate of Hell is located."

"When the Gates of Hell open, the souls within the area affected by the Six Paths of Reincarnation will sense the opening of the Gates of Hell. Therefore, every time the Gates of Hell open, a large number of souls will rush towards the Gates of Hell."

"That's why you're seeing so many souls now, teacher."

After hearing Zhang Zhi's explanation, Professor Confucius's eyes flashed with a look of realization, and then he muttered to himself, "So that's what the 'Gate of Hell' in 'Gate of Hell' means."

"So, the underworld used to connect to the world of the living through this Gate of Hell."

"Therefore, this Gate of Hell is the most crucial point in determining whether the Six Paths of Reincarnation will appear."

After a while, He asked Zhang Zhidao, "I remember you mentioned before that every time the Gates of Hell open, a special monster will come knocking on our door through special means?"

Zhang Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, those monsters were teleported directly to the vicinity of the Gates of Hell through a rather special portal."

"In fact, this should also be evidence that the mastermind behind the scenes has some means of monitoring the entire multiverse."

"In another hour or two, the monster will come knocking. At that time, you can check the special portal and the monsters to see if you can find anything."

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Zhi said, "Personally, I feel that those monsters seem to be somewhat similar to the Grim Reapers I encountered in the Grim Reaper area I visited at Xiayun University before."

"Oh?" Professor Confucius raised an eyebrow after hearing Zhang Zhi's words: "You mean, those monsters possess the Law of Death?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Zhi said, "I can't really say either. After all, I had only been the Lord of the World for a short time when I encountered those death monsters, and my experience was not very extensive."

After hearing Zhang Zhi's words, Professor Confucius frowned and nodded. After pondering for a while, he asked, "Do those monsters appear precisely on time every time the Gates of Hell are opened?"

Zhang Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, it appears every time the Gates of Hell are opened."

"Moreover, every time we kill those monsters, the next monsters that attack will be even stronger."

Professor Confucius raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this, and after a moment's thought, said, "Does this happen when the gates of hell in your two small worlds open?"

Zhang Zhi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but then he understood. With the abilities of a God-level being like Professor Confucius, he could easily deduce that his first small world would also have a gate to hell.

So, after a slight hesitation, he nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, both small worlds are like that."

Upon hearing Zhang Zhi's words, Professor Confucius's face showed a hint of seriousness: "According to you, the distance between your two small worlds is extremely far."

"However, once the Gates of Hell are opened, those special monsters will come after us."

"So, the mastermind behind this really does possess the means to detect any of the Six Paths of Reincarnation within the entire multiverse!"

"So, our previous prediction that as long as an intelligent being in the multiverse advances to the level of a main god or above, the mastermind behind it will come looking for us is indeed correct."

"If we can detect even the fluctuations of opening the Gates of Hell, let alone detecting beings above the God Realm."

"So, no matter what, the power of the mastermind behind this is definitely beyond our current capabilities."

"Some of their methods and abilities are beyond our comprehension today."

"It seems that we can only truly test the power of the mastermind behind the scenes once we possess beings above the God Realm!"

After hearing Professor Confucius's words, Zhang Zhi nodded heavily and said, "Indeed, it's best if we don't provoke these masterminds for now."

After a pause, Zhang Zhi continued, "However, I feel that if we don't provoke them, they might provoke us on their own."

"Judging from the fact that the masterminds can detect the opening of the Gates of Hell, they must control the number of high-level cultivators of various races throughout the multiverse."

"I think that with the current strength of our human race, the mastermind behind this must have already started paying attention to us."

"Perhaps we are still the main target of the mastermind behind this."

Professor Confucius nodded with a somewhat solemn expression after hearing Zhang Zhi's words, but after a moment's thought, he said, "However, judging from the current situation, we don't need to worry too much about them coming to us."

"After all, putting everything else aside, there are far more beings at the God Realm in this world region where your small world is located than in our human race."

"However, if even the Desolate Heaven Continent, which has hundreds of Main God Realm beings, has not encountered any surprises, then we humans have even less to worry about." Zhang Zhi thought this made sense. If the Desolate Heaven Continent, which has hundreds of Main God Realm beings, has not been targeted by the mastermind, then the human race, which doesn't even have a hundred Main God Realm beings, is even less likely to be targeted.

So there's no need to worry too much about that.

At this moment, a thought suddenly popped into Zhang Zhi's mind.

When he first learned about the special cultivation methods of the Desolate Sky Continent, he complained to himself that the intelligent beings on the Desolate Sky Continent were not ambitious, and he wondered why the consciousness of the multiverse had allowed him to open his second small world in this region.

Looking at it from another perspective now, this Desolate Sky Continent may very well be an attempt by the multiverse.

If the invading alien races grow stronger and stronger, and the multiverse has no other recourse, then the entire multiverse might slowly coalesce into a colossal continent, just like this desolate continent.

At that time, those beings who have 'harmonized' with the multiverse will naturally become beings above the God Realm.

However, by that time, the multiverse had almost lost its ability to expand outwards.

The Desolate Sky Continent model should be the backup plan that the multiverse prepared for Himself.

After letting out a soft breath, Zhang Zhi slowly revealed his conjecture.

Professor Confucius, who had been pondering something, nodded slightly after hearing Zhang Zhi's conjecture and said, "Your conjecture should be correct."

"This desolate continent should be a rehearsal of an invasion by an external enemy in the multiverse."

"And this Desolate Sky Continent is naturally a solution that the multiverse has found after spending countless hours."

"As for why your second small world appeared within this region, I think the reason is actually quite simple."

"The multiverse is actually trying to tell you that the cultivation path of the Desolate Sky Continent is a backup plan that He has prepared for Himself. Even if He is unable to resist the invading enemy in the future, He can try to turn the entire multiverse into a continent to resist the invasion of the enemy."

"Therefore, you, or rather other intelligent beings in the multiverse, need not have any worries and can boldly try any method that may defeat the invading enemy."

"At worst, the entire multiverse can just become one world."

Zhang Zhi paused for a moment upon hearing this, then pondered it carefully, thinking that this multiverse consciousness might indeed mean something like this.

Let yourself go and try it. If there's really no other way, just directly apply this cultivation method from the Desolate Heaven Continent.

The existence of hundreds of main gods on the Desolate Heaven Continent shows that although the cultivation path of the Desolate Heaven Continent lacks the ability to expand outwards, its defensive capabilities are dozens or even hundreds of times greater than other cultivation paths!
After all, under normal circumstances, there might only be three or four beings at the God Realm in an ordinary world region.

However, on the Desolate Heaven Continent, there are probably more than five hundred beings at the God Realm.

Zhang Zhi was even pondering that the multiverse consciousness might have allowed his second small world to appear here because, after seeing him develop the Qi Refiner path, it might have wanted him to delve deeper into the cultivation methods of the Desolate Heaven Continent and then develop a cultivation path that could possess the advantages of both the Desolate Heaven Continent cultivation method and the Qi Refiner cultivation method.

After all, the cultivation path of the Desolate Heaven Continent has an advantage in terms of condensing one's rank that other cultivation paths simply cannot match.

Just as Zhang Zhi was pondering the profound meaning behind placing the second small world within the world region where the Desolate Sky Continent was located in his multiverse, the creatures of the underworld near the Gates of Hell began to gather.

Seeing the figures of cultivators from the Six Paths of Reincarnation appearing not far away, Zhang Zhi said to Professor Confucius beside him, "Teacher, that special monster is about to appear."

Upon hearing this, Professor Confucius glanced at the gathered underworld creatures around him and slowly nodded, saying, "Where do they usually appear?"

"You lead the way."

After leading Professor Confucius through the Gates of Hell and back to the small world, Zhang Zhi said, "Those special teleportation portals usually appear in areas not far from the Gates of Hell."

"This time you set up an array to conceal the aura of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Law. I wonder if it can fool the mastermind behind it all."

Professor Confucius nodded upon hearing this. He looked around and found that the number of souls heading to the Gates of Hell was not very large.

Zhang Zhi noticed that his teacher's gaze occasionally swept over the souls, and guessed the doubts in Professor Confucius's mind. So he explained, "During this time, I used my identity as the Lord of the Realm to forcibly pull all the laws of the Six Paths of Reincarnation back into the Underworld."

"Therefore, all of these souls are currently within the coverage of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Law, which spread out after the Gates of Hell opened."

Upon hearing this, Professor Confucius suddenly understood. He withdrew his gaze from those souls and then asked Zhang Zhi for confirmation: "Before the delegation from the Desolate Heaven Continent appeared, your small world was always governed by the Six Paths of Reincarnation, right?"

Zhang Zhi nodded in confirmation, "Yes."

"Your other little world, the Six Paths of Reincarnation, has been expanding outwards, hasn't it?"

Zhang Zhi nodded again in confirmation.

Professor Confucius continued, "Those monsters only appear when the Gates of Hell are opened, right?"

Zhang Zhi nodded again.

After Zhang Zhi nodded, Professor Confucius said thoughtfully, "So, from this perspective, only when the concentration of the Six Paths of Reincarnation reaches a certain level will the arrangements of the mastermind behind the scenes be triggered."

"After all, there is always the Law of Six Paths of Reincarnation behind your two small worlds."

After a pause, Professor Confucius continued, "But that makes sense. The mastermind behind it all destroyed the Underworld, which possessed the Law of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. However, when they destroyed the Underworld, there must have been many things related to the Law of the Six Paths of Reincarnation scattered throughout the multiverse."

"If anything related to the Six Paths of Reincarnation can trigger their backup plan, then the amount of material consumed to maintain this plan must be astronomical."

"After all, there are quite a few things related to the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the multiverse, if not many."

"Therefore, for those who are rejected by the multiverse, only when the concentration of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Law reaches a certain level will their backup plan be triggered."

Just as Professor Confucius finished speaking, the space nearby trembled slightly, and then a black hole appeared in everyone's sight. (End of Chapter)
