Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 372 Qin Ming's Foundation

"Teacher, my resurrection ability is also limited. The normal method of resurrection is to reverse time and pull out a soul from the past timeline."

My task is to collect 'true spirits' and then use them as the core to reassemble the fragments of the soul.

The true spirit itself is extremely fragile and will quickly dissipate when exposed to the void; even the soul of the lord of the universe is no exception.

That was true demise.

Seeing the horrified look on the Lord of Qianwu's face, Qin Ming spoke up to explain.

"Within the primordial universe, I can quickly teleport there and collect the fallen souls. But if they fell in the cosmic sea, it's unlikely that I can get there quickly."

Teleportation to the Divine Realm is a power bestowed by the primordial universe.

By locating within the primordial universe, the divine kingdom can pinpoint the location of almost any region and then teleport there directly, the only difference being the amount of energy consumed.

But the cosmic ocean is different.

Having lost the means of navigation in the original universe, apart from wormhole teleportation within the cosmic ocean, they can only fly slowly in other places.

The journey could take hundreds or even thousands of years.

At such a great distance, Qin Ming would be powerless to help if any ruler of the universe were to fall.

"I see."

The Lord of the Dry Witches was taken aback; in that case, the effect was indeed not as terrifying as he had imagined.

In the primordial universe, it was extremely difficult for the ruler of the universe to perish.

Throughout countless ages, only the three-race alliance launched a surprise attack on humanity, but the humans, who were well-prepared, managed to kill two of them.

"This is already very powerful. With your resurrection ability, we humans are invincible in the original universe and have no fear of other races."

It will at least greatly help your expansion into the Netherworld.

The Lord of the Dry Witches realized what was happening.

This is probably one of Qin Ming's trump cards.

"Yes, that's one aspect. However, relying on resurrection to contend with the entire primitive universe race is still far from enough."

Qin Ming shook his head.

In the original timeline, during the final inter-clan war, in order to seize the inheritance of the Broken East River, the Anti-Human Alliance included 11 of the strongest beings in the universe and about 400 universe masters.

Subsequently, under the instigation of the Purple Moon Holy Land, more than 400 universe lords in the Freedom Alliance also defected to the Anti-Humanity Alliance.

More than 800 cosmic lords!
Humanity's victory was entirely due to Luo Feng's cheat code, possessing the Star Tower, an unshakeable treasure of the Primordial Chaos.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Qin Ming's Netherworld were to expand, it would be fine within the human race's territory, but once it expands outwards, the resulting turmoil would probably be no less than the final battle of the original universe in the original timeline.

Faced with an attack of this magnitude, Qin Ming was no match for him.

Even if it had the ability to resurrect, it wouldn't work.

The destruction of human territories would be a complete loss.

This is about becoming the 'father' of other ethnic groups!
No one can bear the thought of falling into the control of the human race after death, and even being subjected to so-called 'judgment'.

Even within human groups, there will be many who oppose it.

If we strictly follow the laws of humankind, beings like the Blood Demon King should have died long ago.

"That's true, but the time is on our side."

The Lord of Qianwu smiled as he looked at the respectful Lord of Tianlang before him.

He certainly agreed with Qin Ming's idea of ​​the Netherworld.

As Qin Ming's teacher, this was entirely beneficial to him.

This is also a good thing for the human race as a whole.

In the extraterritorial battlefield, Qin Ming resurrected almost all of the human race's kings who died in battle, and even resurrected many marquis-level experts.

Otherwise, even with the potions from the Divine Nourishment, Dawn, and War God series, the human race would find it difficult to gain the upper hand in such a war of attrition when facing the combined attack of the three major races.

Even the universe's rulers, the human race, couldn't withstand the staggering death toll and the continuous resurrections within a short period.

But Qin Ming alone was able to revive easily.

This resulted in the emergence of a new group of battle-hardened elites and a number of cosmic venerables within the human race.

"With the strength of your divine kingdom and the suppression of the World Tree, once you break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, you will indeed be able to face no surprise attacks from ordinary universe's strongest beings."

However, with their divine kingdom's location exposed, they could easily gather multiple of the universe's strongest beings to attack from outside the kingdom.

Even so, your divine kingdom might still encounter problems.

The Lord of Qianwu had already agreed with Qin Ming's idea; it was no secret that the River of Souls devoured souls to grow stronger.

During his time in the Giant Axe's miniature universe, he also witnessed the River of Souls devouring a massive amount of soul essence, and the divine body, nearly 200 billion kilometers long, was still growing at a high speed.

Moreover, since Qin Ming's Netherworld Divine Kingdom can interfere with reincarnation, the Netherworld Underworld is probably also of great use to Qin Ming, otherwise Qin Ming would not have gone to such lengths to do so.

At this moment, the focus is more on identifying and addressing any shortcomings in Qin Ming's work.

"Teacher, please sense carefully, can you detect the location of my divine kingdom?"

Qin Ming smiled but remained silent.

Ordinary divine kingdoms, including his second divine kingdom, also drift deep within the fragments of space.

The Netherworld God Kingdom is different.

It seems to be located inside the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, or perhaps in a higher-dimensional space. It is extremely special and cannot be located by conventional means.

Even if 'suicide agents' are sent in, their location cannot be pinpointed.

"Ok?"

The Lord of Qianwu was startled. Out of absolute trust in Qin Ming, he had entered the Netherworld Divine Kingdom directly in his true form.

However, his divine power still remains in the outside world.

At this moment, he couldn't even determine his coordinates in the primordial universe?

Damn it!
"Your divine kingdom isn't in the primordial universe?" "Of course it is, but my divine kingdom is rather special. This is also my destiny, so if you want to launch a surprise attack on my divine kingdom, you can only enter through the Netherworld Gate."

Qin Ming said with a smile.

There was something he didn't say, but the Lord of the Dry Witches guessed it.

That means that once inside, unless one can tear apart the divine kingdom, the only way out will probably be through the Netherworld Gate!

"Great!"

The Lord of the Dry Witches exclaimed in admiration.

"It was also a coincidence; otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to make that decision so easily."

Qin Ming smiled as he flew through the sky, bringing the Lord of Qianwu with him to a huge city at the very heart of the Netherworld God Kingdom.

Outside the city, there is a gateway.

The two large characters 'Fengdu' above are extremely eye-catching.

Various forms of life moved about in the city, but what amazed the Lord of Qianwu was that the vast majority of these life forms were in the form of 'souls'.

Soul life is extremely rare even in the primordial universe, yet it is countless here.

"what?"

Suddenly, the Lord of Qianwu was taken aback. In this city, he had actually discovered nearly a hundred beings at the level of Cosmic Venerables!

Some of them possessed an aura so powerful that it was probably no weaker than that of a top-tier cosmic overlord.

The number of immortal powerhouses is terrifying, with the number of those at the King level estimated to be as high as tens of thousands, and the number of immortals even greater.

This is only what they've done while staying in Fengdu!
The number of powerful individuals within the entire Netherworld Divine Kingdom far exceeded his expectations.

"Have the beings within your Netherworld God Kingdom become this powerful?"

"The Lord of the Divine Witches asked."

Qin Ming smiled slightly.

These are the assets he accumulated, most of which are the top geniuses from various races who died in battles outside the realm.

Characters like Irina, Nan Cheng, Xuanmu King, and Tiexue King, all veteran invincible kings, have all surpassed the threshold of Venerable after continuously consuming the essence of souls.

The number of levels of the title of king is even more astonishing.

Their total number has exceeded 10!
Only a few remained in the Netherworld God Kingdom; most went to the outside world to carry out missions, whether it was fighting or infiltrating.

Even these were the elite personnel carefully selected by Qin Ming.

The number of kings among all humankind who have broken through the barriers of war is still less than 20!
However, the number of kings among human races is actually not that many compared to the many other races.

For example, the Nine Domains Alliance has over 5000 million Kings and Immortals and over 10 Universe Venerables, yet it is only one of the top 12 forces in the original universe.

The extraterrestrial battlefield is the largest battlefield in the primordial universe.

The great waves of history have swept away countless kings from other races.

"How can I dare to carry out reforms in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, or even the entire human race, without enough manpower?"

Qin Ming shook his head slightly. To collect souls throughout the entire primordial universe, the number of people needed would be an exceptionally large number.

Although the Netherworld God Kingdom currently has a large number of people, it is actually still not enough.

"The surprises you've given me are truly astonishing. If I hadn't come to your divine kingdom in person, I wouldn't have believed it."

The Lord of the Dry Witches sighed.

This disciple of mine is truly extraordinary!

"Since you're prepared, go for it. I'll fully support you."

"Thank you, teacher."

Qin Ming nodded slightly.

For him, completing the reforms of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom was simply a matter of a word; the rest would naturally be handled by others.

But this matter is not actually that simple.

If not handled properly, problems can easily arise.

The simplest example is the slave trader 'Pansy' whom he killed back then; his strength was negligible.

However, many people are involved behind the scenes.

It even involved the royal family of the Qianwu Empire!

Master Qianwu naturally wouldn't care about the mere slave trade, but he couldn't stop his subordinates from caring.

If you really investigate, you'll find that the masterminds behind this are mostly from the Qianwu royal family, or from many families among the three hundred kings and marquises.

If the situation is like this within the Qianwu Universe, the other universes are probably no better off.

Pulling up a radish brings out mud along with it.

It will involve many powerful beings, and perhaps even the descendants of the Giant Axe might be involved.

It's not that the many cosmic lords care about these offspring.

They've all gone into the slave trade; how strong can they possibly be?
The most crucial thing is 'face'!
Qin Ming's goal was not merely to eliminate a group of slave traders at the very bottom, but to carry out a purge throughout the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom and even the entire human race.

Clean from top to bottom!
Once you've made arrangements and given him plenty of face, he doesn't care about your background.

The Lord of the Dry Witches didn't really care.

He was born in the early days of the primordial universe. The Qianwu royal family was separated from him by countless generations, and there was no longer any so-called kinship between them.

The same applies to the Lord of the Qianwu, and to the Lords of other universes.

"Then, disciple, let your men begin the operation."

Qin Ming spoke.
