NOVEL NEXT Chapter 823: The Path to the Netherworld
"A bunch of silly fools, it's rare for you to have a moment of clarity. But now that you know everything, it's already too late. The Netherworld Clan is about to return, and reincarnation will once again control the world! Hahaha..."
Amidst the wild laughter, the Mount Tai God appeared before everyone.
Boom!
A giant Carrot came crashing down directly, and Yi Zheng cursed, "Laugh at your damn mother, keep dying for me!"
The Mount Tai God was furious, "Rabbit, you're courting death!"
In an Instant, the Mount Tai God's arms turned into Giant Stones and clashed with Yi Zheng, who was knocked back.
However, thinking about being used made Yi Zheng furious. He stomped his foot, "Bring me another big one!"
Yi Zheng ripped off another chain. At this moment, Yi Zheng's Power surged again, the terrifying Force was almost bursting out, his muscles grew with Fury, and the blood vessels around his body swelled, a pair of big ears stood straight up like two Old Second, raising peace signs to the sky.
His whole body turned crimson in an Instant: "Kill!"
Yi Zheng stepped out, shattering the ground, exploding dirt and stones wherever he went, and the entire Mount Tai trembled.
"Rabbit, now this is interesting, come on, let me see your weight... Holy shit!"
The Mount Tai God originally thought Yi Zheng's increase in strength was limited, but just as they were about to clash, that Rabbit pulled off another iron chain. The Rabbit's body instantly swelled a hundredfold, and the huge Carrot distorted and shattered the Void!
The Mount Tai God looked at this scene in despair, unable to comprehend what kind of creature he had provoked...
Boom!
The Big Carrot slammed heavily onto the ground, and the Mount Tai God was directly smashed into pieces, without even a chance for his Divine Soul to escape, shattered completely!
Crack, crack, crack...
The ground Rapidly cracked, and the location where that black Stone was also started to show cracks, which quickly spread across the entire Mount Tai!
"Damn, retreat!"
Jidian and the Big Black Dog exchanged a glance and rushed up. One lifted a Rabbit ear and ran away.
Then Yi Zheng saw in the distant mountains, some Divine beings who hadn't participated in the gathering soared into the sky, trying to escape. Just then, chains shot up from the depths of the earth, and one by one, the divine beings were impaled by the chains and hung as suspended specimens in the air.
Seeing this, the barks-at-heaven dog who initially wanted to fly subconsciously clamped his legs tightly.
Jidian said, "Don't fly, run!"
Then Jidian noticed the barks-at-heaven dog lagging behind. He grabbed the Rabbit with his left hand and the dog with his right and dashed away.
Behind them, the ground continuously shattered with enormous fissures, as if the entire Mount Tai was about to collapse.
Just after Jidian rushed out of the Mount Tai region, he heard a terrifying explosion behind him, and the vast Mount Tai exploded into fragments, while a beam of black light shot straight into the heavens, breaking through the clouds and lingering for a long time.
"Huff... huff... what is that thing?" the barks-at-heaven dog looked back at the towering black light pillar and asked.
Jidian had a somewhat grim expression, "The Netherworld Clan, the Netherworld portal has opened. Things are going to get lively in this world from now on."
Rumbling...
A massive Thunderbolt streaked across the sky.
The system's voice rang out, "Netherworld spy Shi Gandang has been killed, the Netherworld Gate has opened, the Netherworld chapter commences, system evolving..."
A few seconds later.
The system's voice sounded again, "System evolution complete, the contents of this version update are as follows.
1, please bind to the Rebirth Altar as soon as possible. Anyone not bound will face permanent death upon dying. If the Rebirth Altar is destroyed, and you are killed without rebinding, permanent death ensues.
2, those who suffer permanent death will enter the Netherworld and become Ghost Cultivator players. Players can either continue the game as Ghost Cultivators or complete quests to achieve Reincarnation and be Resurrected.
3, the Netherworld War begins, details available through exploring the Netherworld.
4, the Netherworld Forum opens."
Wow!
Instantly, the whole world was in an uproar.
"Damn it, who? Who's so reckless? Messing with your damn Netherworld Gate?"
"Damn Shi Gandang, are you made of eggshells? Getting killed so early? Screw your damn ancestors!"
"Which bastard opened the Netherworld? So even if I die, I have to become a ghost? And to be human again, I have to complete tasks? Damn it!"
"Holy shit, it's not automatically binding to the system; you have to return to town to bind? Damn it!"
...
Amidst the countless curses around, Jidian kept his head down and quickly made his escape, with the Rabbit in his left hand and the dog in his right.
"Master, are you selling that Rabbit and dog?" Suddenly someone called out from the side.
The three of them turned their heads, only to see a fat man standing at the entrance of a dog meat restaurant, waving.
The Rabbit and dog exchanged a glance.
Boom!
A burst of flames exploded.
"My restaurant?!" The fat man wailed in place.
...
"Rabbit, you're too fierce, this drink is for you!" barks-at-heaven dog raised his glass in a shout.
Jidian said, "Indeed fierce, come on, let's drink together!"
"Drink!" Yi Zheng raised his glass.
The three of them gulped down their drinks fiercely, and it went on for three days. During those three days, the three guys occasionally eavesdropped on player conversations, learning that the world had indeed changed a lot.
First, after the Netherworld opened, players rushed to the Netherworld Gate and went to the Netherworld, ending up unable to withstand its notorious aura and died. And players killed by this aura can't Resurrect, only report to the Netherworld.
Though the entry method wasn't what they had in mind, the result was all the same.
Some players didn't have time to bind the Rebirth Altar and were taken out by enemies or Wild Monsters to the Netherworld.
So far, no concrete information from the Netherworld has come back, many are waiting for news, hoping that if development is better down there, they wouldn't mind going to develop further.
Meanwhile, Jidian also received news that the official forces had suffered a huge loss in the Netherworld War, with the Netherworld Clan led by Ancestor of Nether River occupying two-thirds of the Netherworld's territory.
"Tsk tsk... truly fierce." This was Yi Zheng's evaluation, not seeing how this related to him.
And then Jidian said, "It really does have something to do with you."
"What relation?" Yi Zheng's Rabbit ears immediately perked up.
Jidian said, "Shi Gandang's brother Shi Qingtian has already vowed to kill the one who avenged his brother."
Yi Zheng slammed the table, shouting, "barks-at-heaven dog, stop eating! You killed Shi Gandang, and his brother is coming to get you!"
The happily dining barks-at-heaven dog went into shock, inwardly saying, how the hell does this involve me?
Then he heard the Rabbit shout, "This has nothing to do with me, I'm just a thirteenth-tier Little Rabbit, I can't fight anyone. I'm out..."
Then the Rabbit ran away.
barks-at-heaven dog looked baffled at Jidian, only to find that Jidian had also run away.
Then he heard the low whispers of players and NPCs in the tavern, "Did he really take down Shi Gandang?"
"Damn, is it really that dog that screwed us? That dead dog, he's really damn meaty!"
"That damn dog, still eating... once he's taken out, let's get a leg to eat."
...
