Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 351 My Name is Lord of the Underworld!

Virtual Universe Company Headquarters.

The human race, the lords of the universe, all gathered together, drinking and celebrating to their hearts' content.

Although this battle exposed hidden strength and changes in divine body, these are insignificant compared to the results of the battle.

Especially the changes in the divine body.

This cannot be hidden. Even without this battle, it will be exposed soon after they return to the cosmic sea.

In such a dangerous place as the cosmic sea, it would be extremely dangerous to deliberately hide one's divine body.

Once a battle breaks out, it will be exposed very quickly.

So it's completely irrelevant.

However, the exposure of the three hidden cosmic lords, including the Lord of Darkness, has created a bigger problem, making it more inconvenient to do things in secret in the future.

But it's likely that before long, the human race will have another batch of universe masters, so these things won't be a big problem.

They captured a demon race cosmic ruler, giving humanity absolute control.

The Dream Demon Ancestor and the Zhen Demon Clan shouted slogans loudly, but handling this matter was not so easy, as the demon clan was not united to begin with.

With two people falling and one being suppressed, internal turmoil is inevitable.

It's impossible to exchange it for the most powerful treasure.

Everyone knows this, but bringing back the Lord of the Coffins will definitely require a huge sacrifice, and it also depends on whether humanity is willing to do so.

Of course, these matters are taken care of by Giant Axe and the Lord of Chaos City.

After the battle ended, Qin Ming left directly and returned to the Netherworld God Kingdom without even attending the victory celebration banquet.

He didn't put in much effort in this battle.

The main force consists of veteran powerhouses such as Giant Axe, Chaos City Lord, Dark Lord, and Lord Peng Gong. He is simply joining in the fun, broadening his horizons, and collecting soul loot.

Although he broke through to the Universe Venerable Realm, his strength increased greatly.

But it's clearly not his turn to take the lead yet.

……

The Netherworld God Kingdom.

The soul tempering effect of the Myriad Soul Banner during its advancement remained the same, and was much stronger than the last time. Even Qin Ming, whose will was close to that of the strongest in the universe, couldn't help but frown.

The feeling of one's soul being forged through countless trials is truly unpleasant.

But Qin Ming also knew that this was a great opportunity for him. Once he could get through this round of tempering, his will should be able to officially reach the level of the strongest in the universe.

Sitting cross-legged in the Netherworld God Kingdom, Qin Ming silently endured it.

Meanwhile, the entire Netherworld Kingdom was undergoing earth-shattering changes.

While refining the souls of the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf and the Lord of the Netherworld, their divine kingdoms were also pulled out from the endless spatial interlayers by the Myriad Soul Banner with immense power.

How vast is the divine kingdom of the Lord of the Universe?
It's important to know that the universe's strongest being's microcosm can reach a staggering 100 million light-years.

Although this was a reward for breaking through to the most primitive universe, their divine kingdoms were already incredibly vast before this, many of them spanning hundreds or even thousands of light-years.

Although the Lord of Sirius is only at the third tier, he is an extremely ancient cosmic lord. Over the long course of time, his divine kingdom has continuously grown and absorbed energy amidst spatial turbulence, allowing it to reach an astonishing level.

After devouring the divine kingdoms of the Lord of Sirius and the Lord of the Netherworld, the Netherworld Divine Kingdom grew to a size of 1000 light-years in a very short time, and then suddenly surged!

When all the transformations were complete, the Netherworld God Kingdom stopped growing and actually reached a terrifying diameter of 1 light-years.

"Such a vast divine kingdom is beyond comprehension."

Qin Ming hovered in mid-air, quietly sensing the changes in the Netherworld God Kingdom. Below, the World Tree was also breaking through to the Universe Venerable realm, its size increasing dramatically, exceeding 1 million kilometers in height.

When the World Tree broke through to become a Universe Venerable, its size began to increase dramatically once again.

The strongest World Tree in the Nine Netherworld is a tree with a trunk diameter of 1200 million kilometers, a height of 5.9 million kilometers, and a crown diameter of over 10 billion kilometers.

Qin Ming's clone is still a long way from reaching its full potential.

Even with the World Tree's current talent for controlling space and time, it can only barely cover the entire Netherworld.

too big!
Compared to the Netherworld God Kingdom, the other ordinary god kingdom is pitifully small.

Although it is also growing by devouring spatial fragments in the spatial turbulence, it is only a few trillion kilometers in diameter, which is too small and too slow compared to the Netherworld God Kingdom.

"The World Tree clone has great potential to be explored, as do the Mountain Giant clone and the River of Souls clone. It's not difficult to increase their genes by ten thousand times by using resources."

Achieving a perfect gene 10081 times would be quite difficult.

There are no shortcuts left; the only option now is to rely on oneself to reach the true level of divine power and push it to the 10081st level.

Sensing the changes in the Myriad Soul Banner, Qin Ming pondered the path he should take in the future. To pursue the path of divine power, simply studying flesh-and-blood life forms was insufficient; he also needed to explore and analyze other life forms.

Fortunately, as his strength increased, the power of the River of Souls surged, and its mental processing speed and deductive ability became more than ten thousand times stronger than before, which gave Qin Ming enough confidence.

The innate talent 'Flesh and Blood Evolution' of the Myriad Soul Banner is originally an ability within the Netherworld. When the Netherworld transforms into Qin Ming's divine kingdom, it becomes equivalent to Qin Ming's talent.

As the Myriad Souls Banner advanced time and again, the Netherworld grew ever larger.

This talent is far more powerful than it used to be.

This time, the Myriad Soul Banner has advanced to the eighth rank, and the genetic map of ordinary life can be analyzed almost instantly to form a complete genetic map.

"Once this battle is over, the demon race will quiet down as long as they're not stupid. I'll have enough time to settle things down, and perhaps the plan I've been considering can begin."

A burning desire shone in Qin Ming's eyes.

The growth of the Netherworld God Kingdom differs from that of a regular God Kingdom; it primarily relies on devouring the souls of the dead and even other God Kingdoms to grow.

Before breaking through to the eighth rank, the lives lost in the outer battlefield are enough to supply them, but if they want to continue to advance and grow in the future, it may not be enough.

And the growth of the River of Souls!
As the River of Souls surpasses 10 billion kilometers in size, its growth rate is slowing down.

Simply relying on killing in extraterritorial battlefields to grow stronger requires a long period of time to accumulate experience.

However, Qin Ming had a new idea when he broke through to the 10081 perfect gene and was granted the innate secret technique 'Soul Domain' by the original cosmic will. He saw the cosmic memories and witnessed the birth of the soul and consciousness.

This idea reached its peak when the underworld was transformed into his divine kingdom.

The birth of the soul lies in a more fundamental point, which can be called the 'true spirit', 'life imprint', and so on.

Although Qin Ming had never seen it, he figured that the reincarnation secret method of a god-king like the Mountain Guest was to 'reincarnate' this wisp of true spirit!
So, can I do that?
For example, actively helping the souls of fallen people to be 'reincarnated'?
Although we haven't started trying yet, with the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls and the River of Souls to assist us, it's not impossible to achieve this.

If my idea actually succeeds.

The Netherworld Kingdom might transform into an extremely magical place, just like the Netherworld Underworld I had envisioned!
All fallen lives must journey through the underworld.

It is not impossible to establish a complete system by relying on the Netherworld Gate's precise perception of death, the Myriad Souls Banner system, and the Soul-Hooking Messenger.

In this way, the entire primordial universe will be transformed into nourishment for the growth of the Netherworld God Kingdom and the River of Souls.

The power of the soul merges into the river of souls, and a true spirit is reincarnated.

The entire primordial universe will be under our control.

not only that.

Qin Ming also had some dissatisfaction with certain things in the primordial universe, such as the slave system, or those powerful individuals who killed at will and vented their tyranny.

Qin Ming doesn't consider himself a good person.

How good could he be, having controlled the Myriad Soul Banner and grown by absorbing the essence of life, souls, and flesh?
The number of alien races that fell at his hands was countless, with the Soul Clan numbering in the hundreds of millions.

However, he had his limits and did not indiscriminately kill innocent people.

His mental fortitude has been honed to an unparalleled level.

The many Soul Clan members, and his experiences during his training in the Eighteen Star Prisons, taught him that this world was full of savagery, darkness, and bloodshed.

Seeing the Blood Demon King in the Qianwu Universe controlling an entire star field, abolishing all technology, arbitrarily capturing countless humans on various planets to conduct so-called "Blood Demon Trials," and enslaving them all.

He still felt an instinctive anger.

One billion planetary-level humans, killing one billion of them, are still enslaved by their own souls.

There is no future living under the rule of the Blood Demon King.

Within the boundaries of human territory, such things are countless, and even fall within the scope of 'legal'!
It is easy to imagine how perverse and bloody the crimes committed by the human powerhouses imprisoned in the Eighteen Star Prison must have been.

Power breeds desire.

Unrestrained desires, tyranny!
But he could perhaps add a lock himself!

"I can ignore what happened before I died."

But after death, everything will be settled.

By reading their memories and judging them according to the laws of the underworld, we can deter them.

The Eighteen Hells have been established for so long, it's time they came in handy.

Qin Ming's gaze was deep and unfathomable.

He doesn't mind making the world a little better, within his capabilities.

"My Dark Master and Chaos City Lord senior uncle said that my strength has reached the level of the Lord of the Universe, and I can now give myself a title."

"Then let's call him the Lord of the Underworld."
