Chapter 247: Underworld's Small World Formation_2
This is the Human Emperor's Rules.
In the small world, the essence of probability clouds, ghosts, and Yin Soldiers and Ghost Generals are all composed of algorithms.
Through the evolution of star maps and the simulation of time by the sun, Lu Yan can deduce all causal futures using the heavens, earth, sun, moon, and stars in the small world.
This is the calculation rule.
The last change comes from the ascension of the Yellow Springs position.
Endowed with the rules of extinction and termination, the Water of the Underworld possesses the essence to wash away everything within the small world.
Once you enter the small world, even a Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch will be destined to vanish, being washed by the Water of the Underworld.
This is the Yellow Springs Rules.
The only regret Lu Yan has is that only the Water of the Underworld within the small world can be blessed with Yellow Springs Rules.
If the Yellow Springs Array is deployed to lead into the outside world, the Water of the Underworld struggles to display the uniqueness of the Yellow Springs Rules.
"Although Yellow Springs Rules can't be activated outside, the Water of the Underworld has fundamentally changed from the previous fifth-tier array.
Previously, the fifth-tier Yellow Springs Array was constrained by the cultivation of the formation ghosts, Yin Soldiers, and Ghost Generals, only barely reaching the power of the Early Stage of Nascent Soul.
Now, with the Water of the Underworld from the small world, it has the strength to face Middle to Late Stage of Nascent Soul.
If it can be led into the small world, defeating the Peak of Nascent Soul would be easy."
Lu Yan gently stroked his chin, contemplating secretly in his heart.
Just then, accompanied by a wave in the small world, Lu Yan's five major ghosts led the Yin Soldiers and Ghost Generals, appearing simultaneously in the small world.
The small world had long been firmly bonded with the ghosts and Yin Soldiers, and as the small world ascended in position, the ghosts and Yin Soldiers naturally gained great benefits.
Under the blessing of the Human Emperor's Rules that condensed the heavens and earth, the cultivation of the Yin Soldiers was elevated to the Peak of Foundation Establishment, while six hundred Ghost Generals almost simultaneously advanced to Golden Core.
You must know, even the entire All Immortals Alliance only has over four hundred Golden Core sages under the age of a hundred.
Six hundred Golden Core Ghost Generals, six thousand Yin Soldiers at the Peak of Foundation Establishment, theoretically could contend against the lower-to-middle forces of the All Immortals Alliance.
Of course, this is only theoretical.
After all, every Golden Core sage in the All Immortals Alliance was able to advance to Golden Core under a hundred years, their talents are not comparable to mass-produced Ghost Generals.
The only regret for Lu Yan was that the five major ghosts only reached the complete stage of Golden Core. This isn't because the five major ghosts didn't receive much benefit, but because Lu Yan, as the master of the Human Emperor Banner, has too low cultivation.
If Lu Yan could advance to Golden Core, the five major ghosts could break through complete Golden Core and step into the Nascent Soul Realm.
"Though not perfect, it ultimately provides the foundational strength to uphold the presence of an Underworld Envoy."
Lu Yan couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Previously, Lu Yan intimidated the All Immortals Alliance relying on the accolades of the Apocalypse Version, his own strength was far insufficient.
But after the small world completed its ascension, this worry disappeared, and now Lu Yan could rely on the small world to contend against the Peak of Nascent Soul with ease.
Thinking of this, Lu Yan frowned slightly.
"Previously, I was used to calling it the Soul Continent, but now that it has ascended to a complete world, it should be renamed."
He contemplated in silence for a while. Then, in the small world, the Human Emperor's Qi followed Lu Yan's thoughts and transformed, like a grand sound echoing through the small world as if the cosmos was first opening.
"This world shall be named: the Underworld!"
As if the solemn decree of the world had been issued, within the Underworld, ghosts and Yin Soldiers fell to their knees and proclaimed loudly:
"We faithfully obey the mandate of our lord!"
As soon as the true name of the Underworld was decided, Lu Yan suddenly sensed countless causalities intertwining within this newly ascended Underworld small world.
Among them were the causalities left by Lu Yan spreading the name of the Underworld, as well as causalities from various versions of ancient Underworld legends.
When Lu Yan named it the Underworld, he was bound to bear this endless causality.
If Lu Yan cannot bear these causations, he will inevitably suffer backlash from Underworld's causality.
If it had been before Lu Yan made a transaction with the Great Collapse Celestial Dao, there might have been some psychological burden.
After all, with endless version transitions, if Lu Yan truly set the Underworld's true name, the causality he bears might be too much to withstand.
But now that Lu Yan has made a transaction with the Great Collapse Celestial Dao, intending to forge the Divine Founding Court to achieve the Second Celestial Dao, the undertaking of causality is inevitable.
Naming the Underworld in advance isn't much of an issue for Lu Yan.
"Next, once I advance to Golden Core, with the Human Emperor Banner, I would possess unbeatable combat strength below Divinity Transformation, able to crush various version powers without issues.
Even for those expedited versions, it would be impossible to advance to Divinity Transformation before turning a hundred; by then, completing the transaction with the Great Collapse Celestial Dao would be easy."
Lu Yan glanced over the numerous rule resources within the All Heaven Stars Tower.
To hasten the formation of the Underworld small world, Lu Yan spared no expense in using a large amount of rule resources to shorten the time for the small world to ascend.
This resulted in nearly half of the originally abundant rule resources within the All Heaven Stars Tower being consumed in this ascension.
Looking at the remaining rule resources, Lu Yan was somewhat worried.
He was well aware that the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed is undoubtedly a big eater, and the remaining rule resources may not be able to nurture the Supreme Divine Techniques.
"I'll devour first and talk later. If necessary, I'll conquer lands while snatching rule resources to supplement myself."
Having made up his mind, Lu Yan sat cross-legged in the center of the All Heaven Stars Tower, immersing his mind into the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed.
Lu Yan released the long-suppressed Supreme Divine Techniques Seed, and in an instant, it was as if invisible chains shattered.
The chaotic sun transformed from its previous silence into an incredibly greedy rule devourer.
The void twisted, reality tore, a black hole as dark as an abyss slowly formed above Lu Yan's head, its edges shimmering with eerie dark red light. At the place where the black hole spun, space was mercilessly torn like fabric, emitting a piercing screech.
Within the All Heaven Stars Tower, various strange items nurturing rules, and fragments of secret methods bearing the mysteries of heaven and earth, were all drawn as if by an unseen giant hand, transforming into countless shimmering strands of energy, rushing towards the greedy black hole.
With every thread of rule power devoured, the black hole expanded, like a mythical demon god devouring the heavens, constantly expanding its domain without satisfaction.
This brutal devouring triggered the rules of some rule items; space stagnated, time reversed, various strange rules manifested, attempting to resist the devouring from the black hole.
But regardless of which rule item, they all gradually drifted toward the black hole, and upon touching the black hole's edge, their previously intact rules were instantly dismantled.
The scene, unseen by any witness, was magnificent yet terrifying; the space within the Star Tower moaned amidst the twisting, the rules collapsed and reorganized, with chaotic forces and orderly rules bizarrely uniting at that moment.
The power of the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed even affected the just ascended Underworld small world.
The earth trembled, the sky responded, the entire Underworld small world seemed to feel the terrifying force beyond position.
In the face of the awakening of the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed, even the Heaven and Earth Rules must succumb and yield.
This all lasted a mere three days, with thousands of divine rule items completely devoured by the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed.
Complex and mysterious textures of the grand Dao spread across the chaotic sun, where the Supreme Divine Technique seemed ready to emerge at any moment.
But in fact, early on, upon completing the devouring of the thousandth rule item, the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed had already reached a critical point.
Subsequent rule resources only perfected the grand Dao textures of the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed but couldn't lead to a substantive breakthrough.
Lu Yan vaguely felt that the birth of the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed was just a trigger away, yet he couldn't capture where this smidge of opportunity lay.
As all rule items finished devouring, Lu Yan prepared to rise, only to find that the black hole manifested by the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed remained rotating, becoming even more agitated.
"Clearly, there are no rules resources left, why would this..."
Lu Yan's words were yet unfinished when an extraordinarily shocking scene unfolded before him.
Struck by the operation of the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed, the stars within the All Heaven Stars Tower rapidly dimmed, and this Spirit Treasure suppressing the cavernous world showed faint signs of being pried open.
As the stars dimmed, the suppressive power began to vanish, enveloping the entire All Heaven Stars Tower in a terrifying aura intending to destroy all and obliterate everything.
The just ascended Underworld small world trembled as if encountering an unbeatable natural enemy.
Within Lu Yan's sight, at the end of the starry ring, dim starry skies revealed the tip of the iceberg, exposing the truth of this world.
Two massive strands of Yin and Yang Qi intertwined and rotated, transforming into a world-ending mill intending to annihilate everything.
"World Destruction Rules?"
