The black hair behind him moved without wind, each strand seemingly possessing its own will, flying wildly like tentacles piercing the void.
The tentacles that had been climbing upwards on the high heels beneath her jade-like feet were now fully alive, leaving glaring, filthy marks on her fair, jade-like legs, a desecration that felt like a stain on purity.
Outside the Temple of Death, the extinguished stars were suddenly relit, but now they had transformed from crimson compound eyes into enormous, writhing tumors, with complex tentacles extending from them to connect the entire divine realm.
Magma erupted from the cracked earth, its crimson hue gushing forth from deep within, staining the land a vibrant crimson, like blood reflecting off the earth.
In that instant, the entire Kingdom of Death was almost transformed into a degenerate world.
Luo Tian, who was originally full of confidence, looked extremely ugly as he stared at Lilith, who seemed indescribable at this moment. Luo Tian slowly uttered the name that Lilith had once recited.
"The god of blindness and folly!"
Luo Tian did not call Him by His full name, because he was unsure whether reciting His true name would cause unknown consequences like Lilith's, or whether it would lead Him to unleash even more power.
Azathoth, the god of blindness and folly, is the supreme being in the Cthulhu Mythos, the true god above gods.
With His appearance, Luo Tian also clearly realized his mistake.
Given Lilith's status, it would be absolutely impossible for her to know about Azathoth, the god of blindness and folly, and Luo Tian had only mentioned the flute of blindness and folly in his previous deception.
It is highly likely that it was that one sentence that attracted the attention of this Azathoth, and secretly corrupted Lilith, leading her to recite her full true name.
Ultimately, this led to the evil god's invasion once again descending upon the Kingdom of Death.
After transmigrating, Luo Tian gained many advantages by relying on the information he had.
Although he was observed when some obscure words or names were mentioned, he did not suffer any danger except for Nyarlathotep.
Even the evil god's corruption brought down by Nyarlathotep was easily neutralized by Luo Tian, so Luo Tian did not really value the meaning represented by its true name.
Those precious secrets were casually mentioned, with a subtle dig at a certain Yellow Suit and Kelvin.
However, just because Luo Tian can spout nonsense doesn't mean that others have the right to spout nonsense or listen to it.
Separated by countless time and space, those powerful beings either harbored goodwill or were powerless against Luo Tian, so they did not attack him.
However, this does not mean that they cannot harm others; Lilith is a prime example.
The fact that Luo Tian's words alone caused the blind and foolish god to turn his attention to Lilith, thus leading to her being corrupted by the evil god, demonstrates the danger involved.
Listening to the omnipresent, piercing flute music, Luo Tian felt a sense of awe for this being whose will had been able to be subdued by Lilith's words.
At the same time, Luo Tian's anger also rose.
Luo Tian never expected that his attempt to poach a tool would lead to such a huge trouble.
Seeing Lilith so close, slowly raising her jade hand in an attempt to do it herself, Luo Tian's right palm revealed the Eastern Yue Imperial Seal, which he slammed down on Lilith.
The realm of the underworld spread, and the radiance of reincarnation shone upon Lilith, severing her connection with the divine kingdom while also blocking the erosion from external evil gods.
A glint of clarity flashed in those bewitching eyes, and the next moment Luo Tian grabbed Lilith's slender waist.
With a firm step, the world shifted with each stride, and in that instant, Luo Tian had already crossed the Divine Kingdom and arrived outside the Underworld.
From the outside, it wasn't just the Kingdom of Death affected by the Flute of Blind Folly; the entire Underworld was also falling into depravity amidst the mad flute's clamor.
The rotting giant of death rose from the mountain of corpses, and the souls of the dead, now given flesh and blood again, wriggled their bodies and crawled out of the River Styx. The endless skeletons on the plain of bones melted away silently, and the entire plain turned into a giant white worm.
Death, madness, and depravity symbolize the will of the evil god permeating the entire underworld, leading to madness amidst the clamor of the flute.
Enveloped in the radiance of reincarnation, Lilith, who gained a moment of clarity, witnessed the absurd underworld, and the horror in her beautiful eyes could no longer be concealed.
The reason why the entire underworld showed signs of corruption by the evil god was because she had sat in the underworld for tens of thousands of years, constantly polluting it and creating that scene.
Now, the God of Blindness and Folly, through the mere moment of his descent and the recitation of his true name, has corrupted the entire underworld, his power far exceeding Lilith's imagination.
"Great divine power!"
Such words surfaced in Lilith's mind, causing her to feel a sense of retreat.
Even though she was also an evil god, she only had the right to grovel before this great being.
At this moment, she finally understood the meaning behind the names Luo Tian had mentioned.
Just then, Luo Tian, who was gently holding her slender waist, suddenly spoke.
How will the shattering of the divine kingdom affect you?
Lilith paused slightly, then instinctively replied while leaning against Luo Tian's chest:
"In the war of the gods, the destruction of the divine kingdom means the fall of the gods, because the victorious side will do everything in its power to wipe out all the gods who have lost their divine kingdom."
However, if the divine kingdom is merely shattered, the gods will suffer severe damage. But if the divine kingdom is rebuilt, there is still a chance to reach the pinnacle.
"That's good!"
Luo Tian nodded gently, and as he held Lilith in his arms, he gently raised his right hand.
Lilith's pupils suddenly contracted, and she asked Luo Tian:
"Do you want to shatter the Kingdom of Death in order to obliterate this great will that has descended?"
Impossible! Even if you could shatter the divine realm, this wisp of great will has already seeped into the underworld, and you can never erase it.
The only solution now is to sever the connection between the underworld and the outside world, and to seal it off...
Before Lilith could finish speaking, Luo Tian gently interrupted her.
"Why not just destroy the underworld as well?"
Lilith was completely stunned. Leaning against Luo Tian's chest, she looked at the man holding her, her expression completely calm, as if she were simply saying, "If you're thirsty, just drink some water."
"But... the Underworld is one of the foundations of the Star World. If we rashly destroy the Underworld, it will surely cause unknown consequences!"
Luo Tian glanced at Lilith indifferently. "Take her place!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Tian gently reached out with his right hand towards the direction of the underworld.
It was as if Luo Tian had easily taken over a world, and the surging Yellow Springs seemed to have realized what was about to happen, and the rushing and roaring spring water roared wildly.
Above the sky, the second of the Six Paths of Reincarnation faintly shone, as if it were being gradually illuminated under immense pressure.
Without having time to observe the details, Luo Tian simply held up the underworld world he had created and slowly smashed it towards the Netherworld, which had already been corrupted by the will of the evil god.
"Soul-draining Strike!"
A powerful force surged wildly into the underworld. Catalyzed by the will of death, the Six Paths of Reincarnation shone brightly in that instant, as if the chanting of gods and Buddhas appeared on the Six Paths of Reincarnation. This world then crashed into the broken underworld that had been corrupted by the evil god.
The next moment, the Star World trembled, and a terrifying explosion reverberated throughout tens of thousands of planes of the Star World.
In the instant that countless gods looked up to peer into the underworld, a monotonous and piercing flute melody exploded in the void, colliding with and obliterating the countless souls comparable to gods in the Soul-Sucking Strike!
The will of the evil god vanished rapidly in absolute death, and the underworld was riddled with holes in the explosion.
Then, the entire underworld began to collapse inward, much like how the massive mass of a star collapses into a black hole of enormous density after a supernova explosion.
A brand new world of death is born from the clash between destruction and evil gods!
The dilapidated underworld is layered upon layered to form the eighteen-layered space of the world of death, upon which the Yellow Springs surge and the six paths of reincarnation reflect one realm.
This is the eighteenth level of hell!
Chapter 196 Fengdu!
Standing at the very bottom of the eighteenth level of hell, Luo Tian looked up at the many strange phenomena revealed in the layers of space above.
The surrounding land was desolate, devoid of the legendary ghosts and demons, and the many punished souls and evil spirits. There was only an empty space and the lingering aura of greatness.
The eighteen realms formed after the collapse of the underworld are less like eighteen levels of hell and more like layers of stacked spaces.
Driven by the authority of death, it is reflected and manifested in the space of the underworld.
Apart from this basic space, the mountains of knives and seas of fire, the tongue-pulling and boiling oil cauldrons symbolized by the eighteen levels of hell are all absent, as are the ghosts and gods who manage the eighteen levels of hell and the souls of the dead who are being punished.
In general, this only provides Luo Tian with a rough framework.
The effort required to truly construct a complete eighteen levels of hell is probably not much less than that required for the upper levels of the underworld.
Thinking of this, Luo Tian couldn't help but glance at the pale-faced Goddess of Death behind him.
"Fortunately, after all that effort, I finally managed to trick someone into doing the hard labor. Otherwise, the time spent just building the Underworld would probably have been enough for me to level up to level six in experience."
Satisfied with the result, Luo Tian slowly turned his head to look at Lilith, who seemed to be deep in thought.
What do you think of this world?
Still reeling from the shock of the shattered Netherworld, Lilith suddenly awoke, looking up at Luo Tian's enigmatic smile. Lilith felt as if Luo Tian had completely seen through her.
The entire underworld collapsed in the collision between the underworld and the great will, and her death god kingdom that existed in the underworld also collapsed naturally.
Even though the power of death is not her sovereign power, and her source of power is a powerful evil god whose strength is comparable to that of a great god, the destruction of her divine kingdom still dealt her a heavy blow.
The beautiful face of the secluded orchid in the valley became haggard, and the eerie look in her eyes was temporarily dispelled by the will of the great evil god.
Her delicate body was severely injured by the shattering of the divine kingdom. A crack appeared on her fair, jade-like skin, like a fine porcelain piece about to break, giving people a sense of broken and incomplete beauty.
At this moment, Lilith exuded a fragile and pitiful aura, making one want to hold her in their arms and cherish her.
Under Luo Tian's gaze, Lilith parted her slightly pale red lips and softly spoke:
"The Netherworld, which was attached to the stars, shattered, and the remnants of it manifested in this underworld as the eighteen layers of space we see today."
Lord Luo Tian has replaced the Underworld with the Netherworld. With billions of souls entering the Netherworld, it will surely grow rapidly.
The future underworld will be powerful enough to support the birth of a powerful deity, securing a place for them among all realms!
After a slight pause, Lilith looked at the space in front of her.
In this space born from the collision between the underworld and a great will, the aura of that evil god at the level of great divine power has not yet dissipated.
He merged into the entire space of the eighteenth level, making this place extremely special. If one were to put in the effort to renovate it, it would be enough to imprison a true god.
In Lilith's view, such a foundation was already quite good, considering that there was only one powerful god in the Star World.
This means that the underworld, which was originally dependent on the Star World, has grown to a level comparable to the Star World itself, which is undoubtedly a huge leap.
However, Luo Tian was quite disappointed after listening to Lilith's explanation.
Even though Lilith has already elevated the level of the Underworld, she is still ultimately limited by her perspective.
However, this is not something to worry about too much. Once the tool person takes the lead, there will always be a chance to see the real underworld in the future.
Nodding slightly, Luo Tian extended his right hand towards Lilith.
"Since Lady Lilith is so optimistic about the Underworld, what do you think of my previous proposal?"
Lilith paused slightly, recalling how Luo Tian had invited her to take charge of the Underworld and assist him in governing this desolate and deadly world.
