After millions of years in the library, I became an Immortal Emperor.

"The Immortal Emperor of the Great Void".

A voice came from beside him, erasing the sword intent and re-condensing his dissipating soul.

He looked up, and both of the two people in the nameless pavilion were looking at him.

A white-haired youth looked at him, his pupils slightly narrowed. With a single thought, the entire Bridge of Helplessness was filled with sword intent, each strand of which seemed capable of annihilating a realm.

He harbored murderous intent towards him.

"Heavenly Emperor, will you save him?"

His words, spoken casually, startled the Immortal Emperor Taixu, who looked at the other person in the pavilion, the one who had called out to him earlier.

Clad in simple white robes, he resembled the magnificent imperial statue in the Heavenly Emperor City.

But what's in front of me is the real body.

He finally met the Heavenly Emperor, but he never expected it to be under such circumstances.

He entered the Nine Netherworlds to rescue the Heavenly Emperor, but was ultimately saved by the Heavenly Emperor himself. The Heavenly Emperor was at the end of the Yellow Springs and Helplessness, without a trace of being suppressed.

"My hell is missing a manager, and he's just the right person."

Lin Fan said, and with a slight wave of his hand, the soul of the Taixu Immortal Emperor instantly passed through countless lights and shadows and arrived in front of the pavilion, right in front of Lin Fan.

The Celestial Emperor Taixu was shaken.

"He is someone my Imperial Realm must kill."

On the other side, the white-haired youth spoke, his sword intent soaring to the heavens, as if it could pierce through the entire hell. Lin Fan looked at him and simply smiled faintly.

"You can kill him, but not here."

His calm words completely erased all the hostility from the white-haired youth.

The white-haired youth looked at the Immortal Emperor Taixu, then at Lin Fan, and finally suppressed his murderous intent. Now was not the time to make a move against the person in front of him.

"Heavenly Emperor, it's your turn to make your move."

He said, and Lin Fan nodded, picked up a piece and placed it on the chessboard. The chessboard was filled with flowing light and strange phenomena. The white-haired youth's expression became serious, and his attention fell back on the chessboard.

Lin Fan then looked at the Taixu Immortal Emperor in front of him.

The Immortal Emperor Taixu focused his mind, hesitated slightly, and bowed to Lin Fan.

He had already sensed that the two people in front of him, whether the white-haired youth or the Heavenly Emperor, were far beyond his imagination and had already surpassed the peak of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

"I have built a netherworld beneath this world that only the dead can enter. Above it is the clear blue sky, and below it is my netherworld."

"The Netherworld is where the karma of all heavens converges. Those who reside in this realm can hold the power to judge the fates of billions of living beings, determining whether they will enter the cycle of reincarnation or be cast into the eighteen levels of hell."

Lin Fan said, then looked at the end of the Bridge of Helplessness, where there was still nothing but emptiness, but Lin Fan showed him a vision of the future.

That is the cycle of rebirth in the six realms.

"Would you be willing to become the lord of this hell?"

Lin Fan asked, and the Taixu Immortal Emperor was shocked upon hearing this, looking at Lin Fan with disbelief.

Lin Fan put it simply, but he understood what this so-called Netherworld represented. It was almost as if the power of Heaven had been divided in two, with one half belonging to Heaven and the other half sinking to Earth.

And he will become the one who holds the other half of the power.

He was in a daze, then focused.

"Is it really possible to do that?"

He asked, "Gathering the causes and effects of all heavens, can this one before me withstand it? This place is not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao, can he withstand the pressure from the Heavenly Dao?"

Lin Fan smiled upon hearing this.

"How can we foresee what the future holds? But as long as I am here, this place will remain, whether it is the Imperial Realm or the Heavenly Dao that comes."

One sentence, brimming with overwhelming domineering power, made the white-haired youth on the other side of the chessboard look up.

"Buzz!"

It was a terrifying sword light, illuminating the past and present, piercing through endless time as it slashed towards Lin Fan. Lin Fan focused his mind and reached out with one hand.

They caught the sword light, but it also caused some cracks to appear in the nameless pavilion.

"Heavenly Emperor, your ambitions are far too great."

He said, raising his hand to place a piece on the chessboard, creating countless ripples. Affected by him, this newly born Netherworld was in turmoil.

A half-step Chaos Realm expert's every move can influence the birth and death of all realms.

Lin Fan did not respond to him.

He simply smiled as he looked at the Immortal Emperor Taixu.

"Are you willing?"

The Immortal Emperor Taixu focused his mind, sensing the terrifying sword light of chaotic time around him, then looked at Lin Fan and nodded solemnly.

"I do."

He said this, and then respectfully bowed to Lin Fan. He was the Lord of the Underworld, and the person in front of him was the creator of the entire Underworld.

Lin Fan nodded with a smile.

With a flick of his finger, endless Netherworld power surged forth, converging around the Taixu Immortal Emperor, causing his originally weak soul to gradually solidify.

A map depicting the entire underworld and the eighteen levels of hell fell into his hands.

"This is the Yellow Springs Map, a magical artifact representing the authority of the underworld."

Lin Fan said, and the Immortal Emperor Taixu respectfully accepted. Then, endless Yellow Spring power enveloped him, and without needing to comprehend it, he naturally comprehended the Great Dao of the Netherworld.

"Heavenly Emperor!"

The white-haired youth standing to the side said angrily.

His sword flashed, aiming to kill the Immortal Emperor Taixu, but an invisible barrier descended, severing all his power.

He rose, and the Imperial Realm descended, forcibly squeezing into this world. The power of the Imperial Realm was added to his body, making his aura even stronger.

"Snap!"

The chessboard on the table broke, and the game instantly descended into chaos.

Lin Fan watched this scene and smiled faintly.

"Even if you lose, you don't have to do this."

The white-haired youth ignored him, staring intently at Lin Fan as if trying to see through him.

He lost. A game of chess is also a contest of the great principles, which means that the person in front of him has a deeper understanding of the great principles of the world than he does.

But considering the entirety of the person's birth, which spanned only a few hundred thousand years, how could that compare to the accumulation of his endless years? He didn't understand.

The Imperial Realm crushed in, and his swordsmanship hung above hell. Even the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao would tremble in the face of such a situation.

But he remained completely calm.

Just as he said, the mortal realm and the celestial realm are nothing but a play, and he is merely an outsider in that play.

However, he also created this so-called Netherworld and appointed someone whom the Emperor Realm was determined to kill as the Lord of Hell, which was equivalent to offending both the Emperor Realm and the Heavenly Dao at once.

Above the Imperial Realm, figures appeared one after another, their expressions solemn as they gazed at the scene in the Nameless Pavilion.

Even facing the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao would be better than facing this person before them.

Beneath the surface of hell, their former friends from the Imperial Realm were screaming and wailing, their cries sending chills down one's spine. It was unimaginable what kind of suffering they were enduring.

However, the Imperial Realm dared not attack him.

"Heavenly Emperor, I don't care what you do here. In all the heavens and worlds, if you dare to take a single step out, my Imperial Realm will do everything in its power to kill you."

He said that, and then left the Netherworld.

With Lin Fan's actions, he no longer needs to stay here. The underground passage is about to be completed, and the Heavenly Dao will surely hold a grudge. He no longer needs to guard against Lin Fan helping the Heavenly Dao.
