Chapter 702: Chapter 535 Terrifying Force – Netherworld
“I naturally believe in you.”
The statue of the Yang God spoke again, his smile radiant.
Clearly, he was exceedingly satisfied with Xu Gu, his descendant.
He was able to sense everything that was happening outside.
In fact, he could have used that power to alter the situation, to spare his descendant from nearly a thousand years of torment.
However, in his view, the sacrifice of his descendant was nothing compared to the survival of the entire Human Clan.
Therefore, he remained silent.
Waiting for the arrival of Xu Gu.
And this wait lasted for a thousand years.
He did not know whether this span of time was too long or too short.
What he was certain of was that Xu Gu had passed the test.
Everything on the Yang Star could, in fact, be seen as a test.
If Xu Gu remained indifferent to the plight of Li Yu and the others, he would not have bestowed his final power upon Xu Gu.
This test was to see whether Xu Gu harbored the great righteousness of the Human Clan.
If Xu Gu had seen the bad situation and simply ran away, he also would not have transferred his power to Xu Gu.
This was a test of whether Xu Gu possessed courage.
If Xu Gu had defeated the Third Crown Prince but failed to anticipate the schemes of Ying Long, he would not have given his final strength to Xu Gu either.
This was a test of wisdom.
Clearly, Xu Gu had all of these qualities!
Therefore, the Yang God was extremely satisfied.
He recognized Xu Gu as the new Savior and hope of the Human Clan.
“However, there are some things that you must take to heart.”
The expression of the Yang God turned serious as he said,
“Be careful of the Netherworld.”
“The Netherworld?”
Xu Gu frowned slightly.
He had not heard of this power before.
Which gave him a bit of a headache.
Before, he thought that it would suffice to overthrow the Mechanical Sea.
But he had not expected that the interstellar political landscape was so complex!
The Mechanical Sea, Divine Domain Continent, and Divine Court, the Soul Clan, Atlantians and Mayans, and now there was the Netherworld, which he had never even heard of.
“Your promotion has been too fast, and having experienced all this in a short period of time, you naturally feel that the powers involved are intricate and complex. But this is indeed the real universe.
“As you thought, situations that are simply black or white, absolutely good against absolutely evil, do not exist.”
The Creator’s Ark spoke, explaining to Xu Gu.
Xu Gu nodded slightly; he was naturally aware of this, which is why he was just voicing his frustrations.
Perhaps, this was a downside of advancing too quickly.
“The Netherworld is the power behind the Mechanical Sea. Very mysterious and powerful.
“It seems to be related to Deformation.
“The Mechanical Sea, Demon Abyss, and Hell all have certain connections to it.”
“This…” Xu Gu raised his eyebrows, quite surprised.
He was taken aback by the background of the Netherworld.
It was actually the power behind the Mechanical Sea?
One must know that even now, to the Human Clan, the Mechanical Sea was a huge entity, without any assurance of complete victory.
Not to mention the Netherworld!
And it was also related to Deformation!
It is well known that Deformation was likely one of the main reasons for the downfall of the Divines!
Absolutely terrifying to the extreme.
After some thought, Xu Gu came to terms with it.
The trend of mechanization was like a cosmic virus, rampant across the universe, and almost all powers and stars were hard-pressed to escape mechanization.
This was very similar to ‘Deformation.’
Furthermore, such a trend could not have arisen out of nowhere.
There must be a source.
And the power that unleashed this source, or that was related to the source, would naturally be immensely formidable.
“What does senior mean?” Xu Gu thought of this and still asked the Yang God, seeking to understand the specifics.
“We could have easily won at that time, it was only when Netherworld entered the fray that we eventually fought to a draw.
“Exiled those various gods, and we, one by one, due to overextending our potential and life force, gradually withered away.”
The Yang God said sorrowfully.
It was not a friendly past.
“Furthermore, within the Netherworld might lie the eternal secrets. They could help you transcend and achieve a simply perfect ultimate life form.”
The Yang God spoke.
His words were filled with longing and memory.
Xu Gu’s mind trembled, seeing the Yang God’s reaction, he understood clearly that the Yang God must have also journeyed to the Netherworld.
There, he sensed some astonishing secrets!
Related to eternal transcendence!
This was already touching upon the most fundamental secrets of this world!
After all, even the Mayans and Atlantians are troubled by the pursuit of eternity and transcendence.
Like the Creator’s Ark, it is the Mayans’ pursuit of eternity and transcendence that created the product.
Moreover, it is still incomplete.
“Of course, you don’t need to feel too pressured, the ancient Human Clan has not completely disappeared, they are still in this world, just not normally perceivable.
“Including the Mayans and Atlantians.”
The Yang God said, his gaze falling upon the Battle Instrument, as if seeing through the existence of the Creator’s Ark.
Xu Gu looked at the Battle Instrument in his hand.
His facial expression changed.
He knew clearly in his heart, there is too little he knows of the mysteries of this universe.
Not as simple as he had imagined!
In fact, it was beyond his imagination.
However, he reined in his emotions, ultimately still focusing on the possibility that the ancient Human Clan may still exist.
“Ancient Human Clan.”
Xu Gu’s mind was fervent.
They could be the earliest Cosmic Overlords!
Even older and more formidable existences than the Maya Civilization and the Atlantis Civilization.
If they do still exist.
He felt a sense of relief in his mind and soul.
If the mechanization is the handiwork of Netherworld, then the Human Clan’s possibility of mechanization is likely the handiwork of the ancient Human Clan.
Xu Gu speculated in his mind.
“And my system, what exactly is its origin?”
“Could it also come from the ancient Human Clan?”
Xu Gu’s gaze flickered.
A multitude of questions in his heart, he forcefully suppressed.
Because the golden light on the Yang God statue was gradually dissipating, already gradually losing focus.
This indicated that the consciousness of the Yang God was about to completely vanish.
“Go forth, you are not alone.”
The Yang God smiled, his gentlemanly figure, like jade, fading away with the wind.
Xu Gu was silent for a long time.
Finally, he bowed deeply:
“Thank you ancestors for your sacrifices.
“I will surely fulfil your last wishes.”
…
Afterwards,
Xu Gu wandered around the Yang Star a few more times, and after confirming that there were no more secrets, he also planned to set off.
To the Sword-man Clan.
He now knew his shortcomings, the purity of his Rule Authority was not enough.
It needed extreme speed enhancement.
And within the Sword-man Clan, there lies a treasure that could rapidly increase the purity of his [Time] Tao Rule Authority!
“Seen the god-host! Thank you, Lord god-host, for your help in rescuing the descendants of the Yang God! We’ll take it from here!”
Two Upper Kings from the Human Clan territory, who had rushed over, looked at Xu Gu, their expressions full of fervor and worship, and even more so with an unprecedented respect.
The Human Clan also knew that the descendants of the Yang God were suffering, but what could they do?
They simply had no means at all.
The Yang Star is in the heartland of the Divine Domain Continent, they had no power to come rescue the descendants of the Yang God.
Perhaps only Xu Gu could have accomplished this step.
