At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

"Ellie, my good girl, Mommy loves you the most." Tiamat said, gently hugging Ellie and coaxing her into her arms like she was a child.

"Los Saint! Help me!" Ai Lei was completely numb and screamed in terror.

"The Mother Goddess is going to turn back into a wicked human!!!"

Chapter 191: Zhongli Wendy visits Hell, Zhongli ascends to 'God King'

"Sigh, the schedule for the Underworld Train is still too tight. It's no longer possible to deliver new souls on time." Wei Quan said as he looked at the documents in his hand and walked along the path leading to the Temple of the Underworld. "I really didn't expect that two more stations would be added, and that they would be so far apart."

He really hadn't expected that the world would develop so quickly, with progress already made on Mars and the Moon.

In addition, there is a 'parallel Earth' and an 'other world'.

The sudden change has greatly increased the workload in the underworld. The 'underworld train' used to have some free time, but now it is no longer scheduled to go up.

In particular, the death toll in the 'parallel Earth' is ridiculously high, as if time flows a hundred times faster than on the main Earth.

This would cause the number of train services to increase a hundredfold.

All the train conductors rushed to his office to complain. If he didn't make an application to Lady Ereshkigal, the highest god of the underworld, his office was afraid it would be torn up by the conductors.

"I'm a bit busy..." Wei Quan's face was full of smiles, his wrinkles were so deep they could crush flies, and he walked with his hands behind his back, almost floating.

During his lifetime, Wei Quan devoted himself to the people and died peacefully at the age of ninety-seven.

Unexpectedly, he encountered the return of the gods and his extraordinary reappearance. He came to the underworld and, based on the 'good deeds' and 'great achievements' he had accumulated in his previous life, was chosen by the highest god of the underworld and appointed as the supreme ruler of the 'Eastern Underworld'.

What is this equivalent to? It's equivalent to the 'Lord of the Eastern Peak', who has full authority over the 'Eastern Underworld'. This is even higher than the 'Lord of the Eastern Peak' in status.

Since the highest deity of the underworld values ​​him so highly, he naturally has to demonstrate abilities even greater than in his previous life. From the initial reopening of the Eastern Underworld to its current prosperity, the sense of accomplishment and honor from recreating a myth has deeply etched his sense of responsibility into every part of his soul.

His achievements in life, combined with his current accomplishments, recently earned him a 'Fragment of Power', the 'Power of Yin Law,' granting him control over the laws and regulations of the underworld.

He also became the first of the five great underworlds to advance to the seventh rank as an underworld governor.

While the other supreme rulers of the underworld were still stuck at the sixth level, his Eastern civilization had once again triumphed over the other civilizations, and he felt immensely honored.

He was also able to seize the opportunity regarding the changes in the Underworld, as the 'small continents' that were born around the Underworld continent were all from other planets.

Therefore, those 'small continents' will definitely establish 'small underworlds' in the near future, and new supreme rulers will definitely emerge.

So he volunteered to take on the construction of the 'Little Underworld' first, and once the new supreme ruler is appointed, this will be an unbreakable bond.

The underworld isn't about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and social interactions. Once you've mastered these relationships, everyone in the underworld is your friend.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps and voices from ahead interrupted Wei Quan's thoughts. He stopped and looked ahead in bewilderment.

"Don't come any closer, Mother Goddess! If you keep doing this, I'm going to complain to the Pantheon!"

"Ellie~ Why did you run away! Don't you like Mommy? Let Mommy hug you~"

"Help!"

Wei Quan froze on the spot. What came into view was their highest god of the underworld fleeing in panic, with a strange girl full of maternal aura chasing after him.

The aura of a high-ranking deity instantly washed over him, leaving him seemingly petrified.

What, what, what's going on...?

As a seventh-order demigod who had already condensed fragments of power, he clearly sensed just how terrifying the power of the girl who was chasing after the highest god of the underworld was.

Even though it was filled with a gentleness that posed no threat and was even captivating, the boundless aura that seemed to be facing the entire world made him feel like a leaf in the ocean.

"Oh no!" Wei Quan exclaimed in terror, cold sweat pouring down his face, soaking his robes as a god of the underworld.

He saw something he shouldn't have seen.

Needless to say, these are all private secrets among the gods. If he sees them like this, how can he expect to get away with it?

At this moment, in his sight, their supreme deity of the underworld transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the outside of the underworld, and the girl whom the supreme deity of the underworld called 'Mother Goddess' also followed after her.

The only one worthy of the title 'Mother Goddess' is Tiamat, the 'Goddess of Creation' and 'Mother of Life,' one of the highest-ranking deities known to humankind.

"We finally managed to trick the Mother Goddess away." Ellie emerged from the shadows with a sigh, her expression still showing a hint of fear.

Being entangled by the Mother Goddess is terrifying. It's okay at first... but it gets more and more terrifying as time goes on. Under that kind of maternal love, your body and mind will even sink, and you'll really turn into a baby and be held and comforted in the Mother Goddess's arms.

This is also the real reason why the Mesopotamian gods feared the Mother Goddess.

For the Mesopotamian gods, the price of the Mother Goddess's love was terrifying.

Only then did Ai Lei look at Wei Quan, who seemed to be petrified, her expression gradually turning cold as she stared at him coldly.

"..." Wei Quan's legs were trembling. His eyes instantly became clear and resolute. He raised his hand and snapped his head open, pulling out a gray bubble with a whoosh.

The bubble contained his recent memories.

As a seventh-order demigod of the underworld, he is still a soul, and he can easily use his powers to divide his memories.

*Pfft* The memory bubble burst after being extracted.

After his memories were extracted, Wei Quan looked bewildered.

"Eh... I just entered the Underworld Temple, how did I end up here?" Wei Quan came to his senses and, upon seeing the highest deity of the Underworld standing in front of him, quickly bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Lord of the Underworld."

Was it Lady Eresh who just transferred him here? No other governors receive this kind of treatment. As the first governor to advance to the seventh rank, Lady Eresh really values ​​him.

Ai Lei nodded with a softened expression: "Wei Quan, I understand what you want to say. Now that you are a seventh-order demigod, you are one of the top in the Underworld."

"Don't ask me to make any decisions regarding matters within the Eastern Underworld. You are in complete control. We will notify you of any major events."

With the 'Central Hub of the Underworld,' she knows everything that happens in the Underworld, or the deviations caused by various operating systems, so there is no need for the 'Governor' to come and report.

"Congratulations on your advancement to the seventh rank. I hope that you can condense a divine core within a thousand years and become a true god of the underworld who is qualified to rule over a region of the underworld." As Ai Lei spoke, a gray World Tree leaf appeared in her hand.

"take it."

This is a leaf from the World Tree that contains underworld energy and 'divine knowledge'.

The World Tree represents the planet's great source; any energy that appears on the planet will grow corresponding leaves on the World Tree.

"Yes, I will never betray your trust." Wei Quan held the 'World Tree leaf' that floated in front of him with both hands, his fingers trembling slightly.

'World Tree leaves'! Even the gods who have ascended to the Pantheon are not qualified to pluck them from the World Tree.

It is said that only the highest-ranking deity is qualified.

Their underworld lord, Lady Ereshkigal, is one of the highest-ranking deities.

Ai Lei nodded, then turned and left. Wei Quan bowed slightly until Ai Lei's figure disappeared.

'The greater the blessings, the heavier the responsibilities.' Wei Quan took a deep breath, feeling the immense supreme power of the 'World Tree Leaf'.

Each level of the extraordinary realm is an insurmountable chasm.

He barely reached the seventh rank by combining his achievements in life and his contribution to restoring the prosperity of the underworld. The eighth rank... is simply too far away.

However, he was so diligent and made no mistakes that he was confident he could achieve it within a thousand years.

……

at the same time

Meanwhile, in Hell, the first banquet since its birth is being held.

At this time, the Demon King's Castle in the Lava Hell had been renamed 'City of Gluttony'.

The city has become quite modern, but the art style leans more towards London's retro aesthetic, and the terrifying scenes that once tormented the souls of the dead have disappeared.

The people walking on the street were all dressed very gentlemanly and in gorgeous clothes. However, most of them had red skin and devil horns on their foreheads. A few of them had the ferocious appearance of crimson demons, but they were also wearing suits.

Those human-shaped demons were all at the third tier and could change their form.

However, while third-tier demons can change their physical form, they cannot change their skin or ferocious appearance; they are classified as the lowest rank of 'lords' in the demon nobility system.

Only those who can completely change their appearance and whose skin can turn white possess the true title of 'Baron'.

The more human-like a demon's appearance, the more noble it is among demons.

Those first- and second-tier demons who cannot change themselves are all ordinary demon civilians. They will be discriminated against when they enter the 'City of Gluttony'. In particular, first-tier demons are not allowed to enter the city because of their ferocious and huge appearance. They can only become the lowest-class civilians in the wild.

The more noble the demon, the more elegant they are, as if they were born aristocrats, and they become meticulous in everything they do, from food and drink to clothing.

After Hell was elevated, the sinful souls who fell into Hell were transformed into livestock such as cattle, sheep, chickens, and ducks under the power of their 'Gluttonous Demon King' Beelzebub, and various farms, restaurants, and taverns sprang up everywhere.

The upscale tavern was bustling with activity, resembling a banquet hall.

Demons are also divided into male and female. Female demons are usually more beautiful than male demons, and even tend to resemble succubi.

In the dance floor, fourth-tier demons were dancing elegant ballroom dances, while third-tier demons acted as waiters, serving drinks and food to the higher-tier demons.

"Hehe, as expected of our Gluttonous Demon King, even before ascending to godhood, two gods have come to visit. We subordinates are truly honored." A handsome young demon swirled a glass of red wine in his hand, took a sip, and said, "Hmm, the red wine made by the chef personally trained by His Majesty's royal chef is truly excellent."

"It uses the blood of a fallen, fourth-order sinful beast, along with the Rotten Soul Flower, the Soul-Eating Fruit, and the roots of the Thorn Piercing Thorn, and it is exceptionally sweet."

“Viscount Asro, I envy you for being chosen by His Majesty the Demon King to go to the mortal world. Tell us in detail what the mortal world is like.” Another demon viscount stepped forward and asked elegantly.

"Compared to the hustle and bustle of the mortal world, I would much rather participate in His Majesty the Demon King's banquet," Asro said dejectedly.

"Unfortunately, the banquet to welcome the great god is only open to lords and above."

"Alas, you have been entrusted with an important mission by His Majesty the Demon King and are on the verge of becoming a lord, unlike us, who don't know if we will be able to rise to the noble rank of earl within five hundred years," a demon viscount lamented.

"Yes, only lords are the true demon nobles; barons and viscounts are just nobles in name only."

As the demon viscounts spoke, they all looked up through the glass windows with envy at the magnificent castle palace at the very center of the 'City of Gluttony'.

At this moment, in the feast that the demons longed for, their 'Gluttonous Demon King' was bowing obsequiously to pour wine for two gods who had come to Hell.

"Your Excellencies, this wine is a gift from Lady Ereshkigal."

"On the day I was promoted to 'Demon Grand Duke', Lady Ereshkigal bestowed upon me this pot of 'Drunkenness of the Underworld'. I am not worthy to drink such wine that only true gods can drink, so I kept it as a collection."

“It is my great honor to have Your Excellencies here, and to have this jug of wine served as our hospitality.” Abaddon, or rather, Beelzebub, should now be called 'Beelzebub'.

Since acquiring the 'Fragment of Gluttony Power', he has been given the name of this second demon.

He really didn't expect that two true gods and top-tier main gods would come as guests on this day, and he was all smiles.

He built hell so elegantly, cleaned the house so thoroughly, and today it finally comes in handy.

Wendy's face was full of smiles, but her hands were quick as she grabbed the wine glass. "Oh, Mr. Beelzebub, you're too kind. I can't accept this." She brought the glass to her nose, her smile tinged with a hint of ecstasy.

"What fine wine! In my three thousand years of life, this is the first time I have tasted such fine wine."
