At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

The direct connection to the 'Planetary Source' allowed her to use her powers continuously without worrying about magic consumption.

Although Uruk was able to directly absorb natural energy in the past, the absorption was very slow, making it impossible for her to use her powers continuously, and the power she could exert was also very limited.

The powers of the underworld include the power of death, the power of summoning souls, the power of judgment, the power of ruling, the power of underworld lightning, the power of dreams, and the power of resurrection.

Of these powers, only the power of death is truly powerful. The other powers are derivative powers that assist the power of death, and their scope of influence is very limited.

The strength of a power is measured by the breadth of the domain it governs.

The power of death is undoubtedly a high-level power, second only to time, space, and fate.

All of Ereshkigal's powers are the most basic powers. Her true form may have the strength of a main god, but she is not a very strong main god.

Even her B-grade divine core cannot support the quality of one of her powers reaching 3 or higher, which would cause the divine core to collapse.

The quality of power is not as simple as one plus one equals two, but far greater than two. A power quality greater than 3 is considered god-level. The most basic god-level power requires a god core of A grade or above to bear.

hum~

The rules of the seven powers quickly merged into this small space, and every part of the small space was pulsating. The elemental forces also pulsated in accordance with the rules, which was in compliance with the arrangement of the rules.

Rocks, trees, rivers, earth, and clouds were all imbued with the aura of the underworld's rules, and everything here gradually became a 'specialty' unique to the underworld under these rules.

The repulsion of the Earth's vast space stopped at this moment, and the World Tree's ability to absorb and circulate souls was concentrated in this newly born 'underworld'.

All the rules of the underworld contained on Earth were concentrated here, and this place became part of the foundation of Earth. Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld, was also completely bound to this newborn underworld, officially becoming the 'mistress of the underworld' of this planet.

Ai Lei seemed to hear a 'crack' sound, and her mind and soul suddenly became clear, and a powerful force was born in her body.

"What is this?" Ai Lei was stunned for a moment, but then she understood what it was. This was a 'Rank', a brand new Rank, 'The Mistress of the Underworld'.

This is the status that the world has given her. This status has merged with her original status, and she feels that her 'divine core' is transforming.

The strength of the divine core has increased the upper limit of the power it can contain by several times, and the power's might has been completely unleashed.

"My body is transforming into a divine body, why?" Aileen looked at her hands in disbelief. This body was merely a human's possession. In her understanding, a flesh and blood body could not possibly transform into a divine body. The body of a god was an embodiment of rules and concepts, a manifestation of the rules.

It can freely switch between spirit and body, and even change unpredictably, transforming into all things in the universe.

But now, she feels that her body is actually becoming more regulated, although the rate of regulation is very slow, it makes it easier for her to use her powers.

"This is what makes my world unique; even flesh and blood can become gods." Luo Sheng looked at Ai Lei with satisfaction.

Now, because Ereshkigal brought the Underworld to life, she has been recognized by the world as the 'Mistress of the Underworld'.

The rank of the 'Mistress of the Underworld' is not low. Although she is still a little inferior to Buyer, she is much stronger than other gods.

As long as she is in the 'Underworld', Ereshkigal is invincible. Any god of lower rank who enters the Underworld will have their divinity and power weakened.

After all, the 'Underworld' is already one of the cornerstones of the planet, and to be an enemy of Ereshkigal means facing the pressure of the entire planet.

"So that's how it is. You're amazing." Ai Lei looked at Luo Sheng with admiration. She didn't need to guess to know that only a god like Luo Sheng, who could 'create the world,' could do this.

"And the Underworld doesn't restrict your freedom, it's just that your powers will be greatly reduced once you leave the Underworld," Luo Sheng said.

All the rules of the underworld are concentrated in the 'underworld realm'. It's not much different if the rules of the underworld don't exist on the surface of a planet. So it would be amazing if Ereshkigal could exert 30% of her strength on the surface.

“Los Saint, you want me to manage the underworld of this world. I know that with more undead in the underworld, I will definitely be very busy, and I can’t let you down.” Ai Lei looked at Los Saint earnestly.

She was a goddess after all, so she knew what Los Saint wanted her to do.

Luo Sheng smiled. After recovering from her love-struck state, her rationality returned. After all, she was a goddess, and her intellect was far beyond what humans could match.

"The first batch of undead will be arriving in the Underworld soon, so let's build some useful structures first," said Luo Sheng, activating his Seven Elemental Powers.

Rumble rumble rumble—

Buildings began to rise from the ground in all four directions of the 'underworld,' each with a distinct style.

The east side is in the style of the Xia Kingdom. Of course, he did not follow the traditional Ghost Gate and Naihe Bridge. He simply built a city that combines classical and modern elements. Even the underworld has to keep up with the times.

The west side is a combination of ancient Greek and modern styles, the south side is a combination of Egyptian and modern styles, and the north side is a combination of Nordic and modern styles.

In addition, the center is a magnificent modern city, with a towering peak at its heart. On the peak stands a castle that blends Mesopotamian temple style with modern design, and flowers of various colors bloom all over the mountain.

Luo Sheng sensed the spirits being absorbed by the earth's veins and transmitted towards the underworld, and said, "The first batch of spirits will arrive soon, but the earth's veins are currently still within the territory of Xia Kingdom, so they are all spirits of Xia Kingdom."

"I'll make the arrangements." Ai Lei's expression instantly turned serious as she nodded.

Luo Sheng said, "You can arrange the messengers of the underworld and the minor deities yourself."

Although ultimately, it is only through his approval that the minor deities of the underworld can truly become gods.

For example, those soul-reaping messengers, soul ferrymen, and gods of judgment will definitely become well-known over time, and it's only a matter of time before they gain divine titles.

These kinds of gods are subordinate gods who rely on the rules of the underworld. They are completely dependent on the underworld and cannot be compared with orthodox gods at all. Their strength is at most equivalent to that of a quasi-god who has obtained fragments of the rules derived from the underworld.

But that's enough. They weren't originally intended for combat; they were more like civilian staff.

After all, the underworld is only so big now, and cannot support the existence of true subordinate deities.

After saying that, Luo Sheng stretched and then reached out to rub Ai Lei's head: "Then I'll go back first. If you're bored, just come to Eden Garden."

"Mmm." Ai Lei blushed and lowered her head. When she looked up, Luo Sheng had already disappeared. She couldn't help but touch her head.

"Ahhh! We've arrived! I have to hurry and guide the souls!" Ai Lei snapped out of her daze and her true nature was instantly revealed. She hurriedly flew towards the Eastern Underworld City.

at the same time.

To the east of the underworld lies a vast city, capable of holding millions of people. The city is deserted and filled with the eeriness unique to the underworld, with gray mist drifting through the streets and green ghostly fire burning in every corner, making the entire city look extremely terrifying.

At the city's entrance stands a massive archway inscribed with the four characters "Eastern Underworld" in ancient Xia script.

Not far from the gate, a massive ley line stretched across the earth, from which emerged several translucent figures with vacant eyes.

Under the rules of the underworld, they quickly regained consciousness, and their bodies were no longer illusory. They looked no different from living people, except that they were extremely light.

They were also wearing clothes, which were conjured up from their memories before they died.

An elderly man in a hospital gown looked around in panic: "Where am I? I remember I've already passed away."

"Where is this place?" A young man in military uniform said calmly, "I was clearly dead. I was seriously injured while fighting against a group of Mana Flowers and Devouring Beasts." He touched his heart, where there was a large hole. His heart had been pierced. Although he was kept alive for several hours due to advanced medical technology, he eventually succumbed to his injuries.

"I'm dead too. Driving recklessly, my family is in tears." A commuter with his limbs turned into pancakes cried, "I was overtaking when I was hit by a truck. Looks like I'm dead."

“I died too. So this must be the legendary underworld?” said a blond young man with a sunken head. “I crashed my car into a mountainside.”

A young man, so thin he looked like he was dying of a terminal illness, was relieved: "I never thought there really was an underworld. I don't have to die anymore."

"Dude, you died from eating poisonous mushrooms, didn't you? You're already dead. What do you mean you don't have to die? We're all ghosts now."

"Grandpa really envies you, living to such an old age before you die."

"Envious? Envious my foot! My wife and her son tried to seize the property I left for my grandson and poisoned me to death!" the old man in the hospital gown said angrily.

"Huh? What do you mean your wife and son are seizing the property you left for your grandson? My left and right brains are starting to fight each other."

"Fool, my wife and I are a blended family. Her son is not my biological son, but my grandson is my biological grandson."

"Oh, I see."

Just then, two green will-o'-the-wisps suddenly appeared in front of them, their shapes resembling frightening eyes and mouths.

"Oh my god! It's a ghost!"

"Hehehe, you're all ghosts, what are you afraid of?" A sinister voice came from a will-o'-the-wisp.

Another will-o'-the-wisp spoke up: "We are messengers of the 'Mistress of the Underworld,' here to tell you some of the rules of the Underworld."

These two are creations of Ereshkigal, also known as 'familiars', created by her powers. They cannot leave the Underworld; once they leave, they will dissipate.

Everyone, no, all the souls fell silent, watching the two green flames in quiet stillness.

“First, this is the Eastern Underworld.” The will-o’-the-wisp grew a finger and pointed to the gate not far away: “Once you walk through the gate of the Underworld, you can enter the city.”

"Secondly, the underworld has reopened, and you are the first batch of souls. The mistress of the underworld needs some ghosts to help her manage the underworld, and the test will begin when you enter the city."

"Those chosen by the mistress to become the managers and enforcers of the underworld may be granted the status of gods."

"Holy shit!" The yellow-haired speeder exclaimed in shock.

The will-o'-the-wisp grinned at him, and he immediately shut up. The will-o'-the-wisp continued speaking.

"Of course, not everyone is qualified to be assessed. Only those whose life trajectories align with the criteria will be assessed. According to your understanding, that means possessing merit."

When a soul arrives in the underworld, the World Tree automatically transmits the soul's life trajectory to the underworld, as the World Tree has the ability to record all information.

Once the World Tree fully covers the world, modifying the information within the World Tree will modify the information throughout the world. For example, if all information about a person is erased, then everyone in the world will lose their memory of that person, and all traces of their life will be rationalized with other things.

"Having accumulated merit..." The young man in military uniform murmured to himself. Before he died, he was an extraordinary person who had awakened his abilities and killed many monsters, so he could be considered to have accumulated merit.

"Third, you cannot leave the city without permission," Ghostfire continued after finishing speaking.

"So what questions do you have for me? We'll each answer three questions."

"May I ask who the mistress of the underworld is?" the skinny young man asked.

Upon hearing this, the will-o'-the-wisp familiar proudly declared, "Of course, it's our beautiful, kind, lovely, and gentle Princess Ereshkigal." The will-o'-the-wisp's expression became abstract.

“That’s right, that’s right. Our Princess Ereshkigal is the greatest, no, the second, no, the third greatest god in the world.”

"Areshkigal? Wait! Isn't that the Mesopotamian goddess of the underworld?" a pale and delicate-looking girl exclaimed in surprise. "Shouldn't we, the people of Xia, be coming to the underworld?"

When people try to confirm the existence of the gods, almost everyone will look into the myths and legends. Although they may not know every minor god, they can still name a few of the main gods in the major mythologies.

"The underworld? What underworld? That's called the netherworld. This is the Eastern netherworld that guides the souls of the dead in East Asia." The will-o'-the-wisp seemed to have forgotten that he was only supposed to answer three questions.

"What about the Ten Kings of Hell?"

"No, the underworld has reopened, and only the great Princess Ereshkigal remains."

The young man in military uniform coughed to attract the will-o'-the-wisp's attention: "Ahem, if Princess Ereshkigal is the third greatest in the world, then who is the first or second?"

"I don't know," Will-o'-the-Wisp said.

"do not know?"

"Those two names are taboo; we are not allowed to know them."

"I see."

"Can I complain to the god of the underworld?" the old man in the hospital gown asked eagerly. He wanted to sue the man who had killed his wife and her son.

"Complain? I don't know, you'll have to ask the beautiful, kind, and gentle Princess Ereshkigal."

When the Will-o'-the-Wisp Familiars were first created, Ereshkigal only gave them the common knowledge and rules of the underworld, as well as words praising herself; the other Familiars knew nothing about them.

"It seems like we've already answered six questions, right?" Will-o'-the-Wisp wondered.
