The City of Slaughter.

Returning once again to the "City of the Undead," Tang San felt a distinct shift in perception. This place, suspended between reality and dimensions, served as a terminus for the spatial channel linking the God Realm and the Douluo Continent. In simpler terms, it functioned as a transit station accessible only to deities. Ordinary beings, even those of peerless strength, could not breach the space to enter the God Realm.

Walking through the City of Slaughter, Tang San observed that the once vibrant flesh and bone had long since turned to dust, dissipating into nothingness in this godly energy-infused environment. Only the ruins of shattered buildings bore silent testimony to the city's former "glory."

Tang San reached the central palace, formerly the domain of the Slaughter King. There, an intricate formation of mysterious patterns etched into the ground marked the gateway to the God Realm. 

"This is it," he murmured.

Electrolux materialized beside him, scrutinizing the area before addressing Tang San. "Release your Spirit. The Lord of Eternity and I will sever this connection. From now on, Asura God will lose this coordinate point. Observing the lower realms will require either soul masters imbued with the Killing God Domain or other deities leaving their inheritance in this realm."

This act, however, was bound to alarm the powers that be.

Tang San, undeterred, unleashed the Blue Silver Emperor, embedding its roots into the ground where the spatial channel was anchored. Together with the Lord of Eternity, he began dismantling the formation's patterns.

Hesitation achieves nothing. 

Moreover, from a human perspective, was it not entirely reasonable to develop an abandoned city? If, in doing so, the spatial channel left by Asura God was severed, then so be it.

As the spatial connection broke, the Asura divine energy sustaining the City of Slaughter began to dissipate, leaving the subterranean world trembling violently, as though on the brink of collapse.

But the tremors lasted only a dozen seconds before ceasing. The Blue Silver Emperor's roots had already spread across the city, stabilizing its foundations.

With the city's space restored, Electrolux summoned the Throne of Souls Imprinted with Kindness and Death, positioning it before the Blue Silver Emperor. 

The Emperor's leaves coiled around the throne, lifting it to its apex.

The throne's internal eighteen layers of hell, once connected to the starry sky domain, now melded with this dimension, merging seamlessly with the space. The fusion transformed the City of Slaughter into part of the eighteen layers of hell.

"Haha! The Netherworld! The Gates of Ghosts! It's complete!" Electrolux's form solidified, resembling a human in every way, as though he had fully resurrected.

However, Tang San could discern the truth—Electrolux had not regained a physical body. His tangible form was a result of the integration between the throne's eighteen layers of hell, the City of Slaughter, and the stabilizing power of the Blue Silver Emperor's starry sky domain. This unique space, bridging reality and illusion, allowed him to exist as though alive.

In this city, Electrolux was effectively alive. Unless someone possessed the power to utterly destroy the City of Slaughter, they would be crushed beneath his might.

The entire City of Slaughter had become Electrolux's domain. 

From an external perspective, the city's dimensions were only slightly larger than Heaven Dou City. Yet internally, it was bound to the eighteen layers of hell within the Throne of Souls, which, in turn, were tied to the Blue Silver Emperor's starry sky domain. 

As long as the starry sky domain continued to grow, this space could expand infinitely.

Similarly, any elevation in this realm would feed back into the starry sky domain, accelerating its development.

"Come forth!" 

"My most loyal servant!" 

With Electrolux's summons, a humanoid undead lord emerged from the Throne of Souls Imprinted with Kindness and Death. This being was a creation of countless undead entities forged by Electrolux and also served as the artifact spirit of the throne.

As the undead lord appeared, it began to split into countless smaller undead beings. These varied widely in size, appearance, and gender, but they all worked tirelessly, cleaning and repairing the City of Slaughter with astonishing efficiency. Tang San estimated that, at this pace, the entire city would be completely restored in less than half a month.

These undead required no rest, food, or wages—making them the ideal labor force. However, splitting the artifact spirit into so many parts left it mindless, and without Electrolux's direct supervision, it risked making mistakes or causing chaos.

Electrolux explained, "If the Throne of Souls Imprinted with Kindness and Death advances to a nine-engraving level and becomes a super divine weapon, its artifact spirit will inevitably gain greater intelligence. It might even evolve into a fully sentient life form."

Stroking his beard, Electrolux chuckled with satisfaction. "With this workforce, rebuilding this place is a simple task. Perhaps, in the future, this city can be fully renamed to the Netherworld."

Tang San asked, "How long would it take to fully establish this place?"

"Roughly three to five years," Electrolux replied. "However, only souls can survive here for extended periods."

He pondered for a moment before continuing, "Typically, when living beings die, their souls dissipate. But with this Netherworld and the Throne of Souls Imprinted with Kindness and Death, we can actively draw in souls from the outside world. Unfortunately, most souls located far from the Netherworld will dissipate during the journey due to environmental factors. The best solution is to send someone to retrieve the souls and bring them here."

Tang San's expression turned strange. "Isn't that exactly the work of Ox-Head and Horse-Face, or Black and White Impermanence?"

Yet, the notion of collecting souls across the entire world seemed impractical. Such tasks couldn't simply be delegated to ordinary people. Only the countless extensions of the Throne of Souls' artifact spirit could undertake such a massive endeavor.

Currently, however, the artifact spirit was incapable of spreading across the entire continent. Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor would first need to lay a foundation, allowing the Throne of Souls to extend its reach across the Douluo Continent, the Douluo Planet, and, perhaps one day, the entire stellar system.

But how could the Blue Silver Emperor's roots spread to other planets in the future?

Would the Blue Silver Emperor act like a rope, physically connecting planets? 

Of course not.

Considering the constant motion of celestial bodies, the solution lay in further evolving the Blue Silver Emperor. It would need to transform into a conceptual entity, establishing connections through mechanisms akin to quantum entanglement.

And what is quantum entanglement? 

When two particles become entangled, their states influence each other regardless of the distance separating them. 

In simpler terms, once two particles form a system, they can interact instantaneously, no matter how far apart they are in space. 

Although achieving this through conventional technology might take the Douluo Continent millions of years of development, the unique nature of Spirit could make it possible. 

After all, a Spirit exists in a state between energy and matter. In some ways, isn't it a form of quantum entanglement? 

A clear example would be Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor plants. Wherever they were rooted, he could manifest his spiritual will through any one of them. Even if the roots weren't physically connected, activating one plant would trigger responses in the others. How could this not be considered quantum entanglement? 

However, due to the peculiar nature of Spirit, it might be more fitting to call it "Spirit Subsystem Entanglement." 

Planting the Blue Silver Emperor in space would likely require a comprehensive "Spirit Subsystem Entanglement Theory" to be fully developed...
