Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 217 The Portal to the Underworld Opens

Seemingly sensing Jiang Yuan's gaze, Mu Nujiao raised her head, pursed her lips, and said, "Want to come with me for a walk later?"

“Okay.” Jiang Yuan agreed without asking where they were going.

The head of the Mu family remained silent, as if he had never asked the question before.

After the banquet ended.

Mu Nujiao and Jiang Yuan took a walk in the garden behind the manor, strolling along the small lake, where a gentle breeze blew in the fresh air.

“Actually, my family wants me to be your fiancée,” Mu Nujiao said as the two walked side by side.

Jiang Yuan had thought Mu Nujiao would be ashamed to say it so bluntly.

You're still thinking too much of Mu Nujiao as a demure woman.

“Well, not fiancée,” Jiang Yuan was saying when Mu Nujiao quickly added, “The family only hopes, they don’t require me to become your fiancée. They won’t force me. Our Mu family rarely has arranged marriages.”

"Are you saying these things because you don't want to be my fiancée?" Jiang Yuan asked.

Upon hearing this, Mu Nujiao turned to look at the shimmering water and said, "You have too many accolades. I am just an outstanding young mage, and the highest achievement I have attained was thanks to your guidance. The heights you will reach in the future will be beyond my reach, so I feel that I am not worthy of you."

Having finally spoken her mind, Mu Nujiao breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Jiang Yuan didn't know how to answer.

That's a difficult question to answer.

His current level is already unattainable for 99.99% of living beings; among humans, those who can reach this level can be counted on one hand.

Once Hades' authority is fully restored, he can be promoted to the position of ruler and emperor.

If we include the sub-emperors, the emperor level includes: sub-emperors, minor emperors (legitimate emperors), middle emperors (dominant emperors), and high emperors (the roof of the world). After that, there is the immortal level, which surpasses the emperor level and can also be called immortal gods.

The Black Dragon Emperor is a minor emperor, and so is Jiang Yuan.

However, there are differences between the minor emperors, and Jiang Yuan's body has also reached the peak of the minor emperor level, so he can easily control the Black Dragon Emperor.

"So, according to you, I'm destined to grow old alone?" Jiang Yuan laughed.

“Not necessarily. Mu Ningxue is stronger than me, and Ye Xinxia is now the only candidate for Goddess. They are both much more outstanding than me,” Mu Nujiao said.

"You're saying this because you want Mo Fan to strangle me. When I don't want to sleep, all I see when I lift the covers is Mo Fan trying to strangle me."

Hearing Jiang Yuan say that, Mu Nujiao found it amusing: "It's not that exaggerated."

"That's how exaggerated it is, I know him too well." Jiang Yuan pursed his lips.

"Ok."

Mu Nujiao fell silent.

The two walked to the pavilion next to the small lake and sat down.

"Have you already surpassed the previous level?" Mu Nujiao asked.

“Yes, it’s already beyond the current level.” Jiang Yuan nodded.

Mu Nujiao thought to herself, "Just as I thought."

This widens the gap between the two people.

I need to work even harder!

Mu Nujiao's eyes hardened as she looked at Jiang Yuan with great seriousness and said, "I will try my best to catch up with you!"

“Okay.” Jiang Yuan responded just as seriously.

The two didn't talk about their relationship, but chatted about their time in the Nationalist government and some recent events, having a very pleasant conversation.

The head of the Mu family, who was secretly observing from afar, was very pleased to see this. Time passed quickly, and Jiang Yuan bid farewell to the head of the Mu family.

They originally wanted to keep Jiang Yuan for a while longer, but were refused.

Jiang Yuan had no choice but to leave. Liu Xian and Jiu You were moving very fast. The Netherworld Gate was about to open, and he had to take charge of the battlefield as soon as possible.

Watching Jiang Yuan's departing figure, Mu Hua asked the head of the Mu family, "Have Jiao Jiao and Jiang Yuan officially started dating yet?"

"I don't know, and you shouldn't ask. This is Jiaojiao's own business; don't interfere. We invited Jiang Yuan here to thank him for helping Jiaojiao so much; don't meddle in anything else," said the head of the Mu family.

Mu Hua's eye twitched.

I don't know who asked Jiang Yuan what he thought of Jiao Jiao first.

Although the head of the Mu family said that, he still really wanted Jiang Yuan to be with his daughter.

Jiang Yuan's talent is already the best in the world, and he has received a lot of attention from the higher-ups. He even ranked first on the list of forbidden spell seeds after the competition.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely grow into a forbidden spell mage.

Those are the pillars of the nation, the vital instruments of the country!
The head of the Mu family did not regard this meeting as a recruitment, but rather as a pre-emptive decision to take sides.

After all, if Jiang Yuan were to establish his own aristocratic family, it would become one of the top families in China.

If possible, the Mu family should give Jiang Yuan a push so that he can have a higher status in China and even internationally.

Thinking about this, the head of the Mu family felt it was necessary to have a talk with the old man.

You could first get Jiang Yuan nominated as a councilor, then have him become a councilor directly when he advances to the Super Rank, and then work your way up to become one of the high-ranking members of the Magic Association.
Jiang Yuan was unaware that the head of the Mu family planned to use all of the Mu family's resources to promote him. He had already crossed space and arrived at the Red Sea at the call of many undead.

His figure suddenly appeared above the ocean, and the sky hundreds of meters away shattered into an endless black abyss, with the aura of the dead pouring down.

"Your Majesty!" Jiuyou Hou transformed into a phantom and flew up, with Liu Xian following closely behind.

"How's the progress?" Jiang Yuan asked, looking at the endless black sea in front of him.

His keen spatial awareness made him feel that the space here was very heavy.

"We are waiting for the starlight to turn into Netherworld radiance, so that we can see the Void Island where the Netherworld Portal is located. Otherwise, we will not be able to find the Netherworld Portal," said the Queen of the Nine Netherworlds.

"No need to bother."

Jiang Yuan stretched out his right hand, causing space to distort.

Ultimately, the Netherworld Portal is a passage to the Dark Dimension. As the Dark Undead Emperor who controls space and the undead, Jiang Yuan doesn't need these cumbersome steps.

Space tore apart, revealing a dimensional portal behind it that spewed forth endless necromantic energy.

"Go forth, and let my army of the dead tread into the new underworld."

"Yes, sir!" Queen Jiuyou exclaimed excitedly.

The Abyss of Evil stirred, and endless streams of the dead surged forth from within, roaring and charging towards the gates of the Egyptian underworld.

Totem beasts and vampires also entered the Egyptian underworld together.

"Supreme Dark Emperor, ruler of the dead, we will make this darkness your land!" shouted the vampire Ohar.

"."

Jiang Yuan paused for a moment, then said to Liu Xian beside him, "This vampire is a talent. Let him be the vanguard, and be careful not to let him die."

"Yes!" Liu Xian's figure transformed into a cluster of blood-red bats and entered the army.

A fierce wind howled, and Austin flapped his dragon wings to come to Jiang Yuan's side, lowering his head to let Jiang Yuan step on him.

Then, carrying Jiang Yuan, it flew into the portal to the underworld!

　Speaking of Heavenly Father, Athena, and Ventae, are they really beyond the level of emperors? People in the group are writing about Heavenly Father and Athena as emperors, not even the top tier. Is Ventae really that much stronger than them?
