Chapter 200: The Heart of the Underworld Birth
No one can answer why.
After Of left, Destri led his group back to the underworld, leaving only the incarnation of the God of Fate to guard the gilded lake.
On the way back, Lilith, Bauhinia, and Nether kept congratulating Vivia, and even Destry was quite moved. Originally, among the "Four Rule Masters", Auf's Great Perfection was before the advent of the Lord Godhead, and Uhtred and Vivia's Great Perfection was after the advent of the Lord Godhead, but Vivia was slower than Uhtred.
But with the current development of the situation, Vivia has achieved the Great Perfection before Uhtred, which has to be said to be a surprise.
But to be honest, in the original time and space, the first main god to achieve great perfection was Theresa, the lower-level main god of the wind element. Unfortunately, as a lower-level main god, even though he had achieved great perfection, he had no say in the main god group.
"Vivia, you are now the Great Perfection Great Lord God. From now on, I will have to rely on you to take care of me!" Lilith couldn't help but flatter her.
“With the Lord here, who dares to mess with me? Besides, I have refined two main godheads and I am a super divine beast myself. Even if I face the Great Lord God of Great Perfection, what does I have to fear?” Vivia also responded.
Just as the few people stepped into the underworld, a strange phenomenon occurred.
First, Destry and Lilith felt a tightness in their hearts for no reason.
Then, countless low-level undead without intelligence stopped all fighting and began to howl like ghosts.
Then, above the sky of the underworld, an illusory dark red heart-shaped gem appeared and began to beat like a heart, attracting the attention of countless people.
"What is this?" As the lord of the underworld, Lilith asked the question immediately.
"A wonder of heaven and earth in the making?" Vivia guessed. "But this is a big commotion. Anyone and everyone in the underworld can see it. This is probably a treasure created by the power of the entire underworld!"
As she spoke, she looked at Destry in surprise, only to see Destry smiling as if he knew everything.
Lilith and Vivia didn't know each other at this time, but Destry knew this stone. It was the treasure of the underworld, the Heart of the Underworld. Before crossing over, he borrowed it from Lilith and studied it for thousands of years. He was very familiar with this thing, even including the conditions for the birth of the Heart of the Underworld.
"This is the heart of the underworld, a treasure that controls the souls of thousands of dead. If you get it, it won't be a problem for you to surpass Vivia in strength." Destry said with a smile
"So powerful!" Lilith exclaimed, looking at the beating heart of the underworld with burning eyes.
"With the continuous increase of the endless material planes and the continuous increase of the living beings in the material plane, the Holy Mountain of the Dead, which was not so crowded in the past, has been occupied by densely packed undead. The gathering of a large number of undead has produced an effect, which resonates with the essence of the underworld, and has given the Heart of the Underworld the opportunity to be conceived."
Destry said slowly, "But this is not the only condition. The gathering of the seven major death gods in the underworld is also a key point. For many years before this, Lianhuo had been living in seclusion in the material plane and had never come to the underworld. Including the two meetings, they were not held in the underworld, so the death gods never had a chance to gather together. I didn't expect that he would come to the underworld at this time."
Vivia thought of something and added, "This is not surprising. Lianhuo refined the main godhood as soon as he became a high god. He does not have your careful protection like Zijing. He was almost killed by Ladel that year. If it were not for your attention and attack, he would have fallen long ago. It is reasonable for him to hide for such a long time. Now, after 100 million years of training, his strength must have improved a lot. In addition, now that the seven major law god planes have been opened up, the law gods have all entered the main god planes. There are only a few death gods left in the underworld, and they are basically lower gods. It is reasonable for him to think that it is safe."
Destry nodded and said to Lilith, "This Heart of the Underworld can only be used by the Lord of Death. Even if my Lord of Death clone uses it, it is far inferior to other Lord of Death clones. You should be its only owner. Its gestation time will not be too long, about a hundred years, so you just need to pay attention to it and collect it."
Before Lilith could answer, Vivia teased, "The Lord will not compete with you. There is no one among the Lords of Death who can rival you. It seems that I have to return the words you said to me before. From now on, I will have to ask you to continue to protect and look after me."
Lilith looked at Vivia with a smile on her face, then turned to Destry and said, "This thing is still in the making, how do you know so much about it?"
"Knowing is knowing. When the Heart of the Underworld is born, you can verify it yourself!" Destry smiled and walked forward, leaving only the lingering sound. "The real key to the Heart of the Underworld is not to improve strength, but to control the dead. In the endless plane, all living beings who have not become gods will be thrown into the underworld once they die. Although there are occasional exceptions, it is almost all of them.
Of these souls that are reincarnated into the underworld, a few lucky ones can stand out from the undead devouring and become gods, such as the patriarch of the 28 families, Skull. The undead that become gods will regain their intelligence and memory, which is equivalent to being reborn. However, there are a large number of souls thrown into the underworld at all times, and a large number of souls are devoured at all times. There are too few who can become holy, and even fewer who can become gods.
If you have not become a god, neither yourself nor your relatives and friends would be able to recognize you even if they meet you.
But the Lord of Death who holds the Heart of the Underworld can break these restrictions. Relying on the Heart of the Underworld, he can help people find the reincarnated souls of their relatives and friends just by their breath, and can clearly explore their experiences after entering the underworld, and even restore the memories of the dead before they become gods!
Only in this way can one be the Lord of the Underworld. Previously, the so-called Lord God had nothing special except that his strength overwhelmed the higher gods. "
After hearing Destry's detailed description, Lilith was overjoyed. Instead, Zijing asked in confusion, "The four supreme planes and the seven divine planes should all be like the underworld, giving birth to treasures like the Heart of the Underworld. Sister Vivia, we can also look for such treasures in the God Realm of Life and Hell."
Upon hearing this, Vivia shook her head and said, "If it is a rare item like the Heart of the Underworld, the movement during its gestation is very great, comparable to the main godhead. If such a treasure really came into the world, how could you and I not know about it. Other planes may not have it, or they may have the complex and harsh gestation conditions described by the adults, and they may not meet these conditions now."
After returning to Nether Mountain and sending away Lianhuo who came to visit them as he had officially moved into the underworld, Destry then guided Lilith's consciousness to summon all the gods of death. After clarifying the ownership of the Heart of the Underworld, he started playing chess with Vivia.
Just like that, a hundred years passed, and the heart of the underworld began beating faster and faster.
As it beats faster, its sense of illusion gradually disappears, and the whole becomes increasingly solid.
Finally, suddenly, accompanied by the last rapid and powerful beating of the Heart of the Underworld, the entire sky of the Underworld was filled with colorful light, and these colorful lights that covered the entire underworld also quickly sank into the interior of the Heart of the Underworld.
In the heart of the underworld, a bright red light first appeared, then quickly transitioned to orange, and then yellow and green.
After the purple light faded away and the sky returned to normal, all the brilliance of the Heart of the Underworld also converged and disappeared, slowly falling to the ground.
Lilith glanced at Destri and Vivia who were still playing chess, then immediately leaped into the air and easily held the Heart of the Underworld in her palm. Then, Lilith quickly dripped a drop of blood, which was quickly absorbed by the Heart of the Underworld, completing the recognition of the master.
At the moment of recognition, Lilith clearly felt the message from the Heart of the Underworld and couldn't help laughing. In the information she received, all the powerful powers described by Destry were true. As a super beast, Lilith's body has now reached the level of a main artifact. It can be said that even without the clone of the water god, she is not afraid of the material attack of the Great Perfection God. Similarly, as a super beast of the death rule, her soul talent is not weak at all, and she is not afraid of soul attacks.
And now, the Heart of the Underworld directly increased the strength of her soul attack and soul defense by a hundred times, and her soul attack directly caught up with the Great Perfection Great Lord God!
With the power of will brought by the avatar of the water god, she is now not afraid of defense at all, and her soul attack is ten times stronger than Auf and Vivia!
Of course, this was a misjudgment made when she was not aware that Auf also had an additional avatar of the Lord God. She also always remembered Destry's warning about Auf and Augusta.
In addition to the abilities Destry mentioned, the Heart of the Underworld has another ability, which is to split into a clone of the Heart of the Underworld. This clone can split into exactly six clones, and can only be used by the Lord of Death. It has the ability to query the past and location of the dead, and cannot help the dead recover their memories. Moreover, when other Lords of Death who have obtained the clones of the Heart of the Underworld use the Heart of the Underworld, Lilith will be able to detect it at any time, and can terminate and activate their permissions.
As she hurried back to the top of Netherworld Mountain, five divine consciousnesses rose up simultaneously from five places in the Netherworld. They congratulated her in unison, "Congratulations, sir, for mastering the heart of the Netherworld!"
Lilith was delighted. She had originally not intended to inform these Death Lords, but now she changed her mind, "Come to Netherworld Mountain in your true form immediately, and I will give you some opportunities!"
As soon as she landed under the Heaven and Earth Chains, Lilith saw that Destry and Vivia had finished their game. Vivia smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Lord Destry's soul power is still too strong. When I play against him, I lose nine times out of ten."
"I am already a great master, no worse than you. Moreover, my soul has mutated by chance, and my soul power is so strong that it cannot be surpassed. Even though you are a great master, it is difficult for you to defeat me." Destry smiled slightly.
Although the one Vivia was playing against was Destry's dead clone, let alone a soul mutant, even an ordinary god-level clone could communicate with each other's thoughts. In other words, Vivia was actually playing against Destry's great perfection clone.
That is to say, Destry had some intention of guiding and teasing her, otherwise Vivia would have no chance of winning and would have lost ten times out of ten.
"I'm celebrating such a big happy occasion, and you guys are just busy playing chess?" Lilith said with some dissatisfaction when she saw this.
"Haha, congratulations on getting the Heart of the Underworld and becoming the strongest god besides me!" Destry congratulated with a smile, "But besides having fun, you should still practice more. With the help of the endless power of faith, you, like me and Vivia, have a great chance of becoming a great master. Otherwise, you will be caught up by others sooner or later."
"Of course I won't let you two take the cake." Lilith said proudly, and she had great confidence in her ability to achieve the Great Perfection. "But how can they catch up? Auf is already the Great Perfection, and Uhtred still has a chance, but they are both gods within their bodies, and there is no hope of gaining more willpower."
"Hehe, back then, Auf and I were both great and perfect upper gods, but I was able to suppress him, so that he still can't raise his head in front of me. Neither he nor I are super beasts, we are both great and perfect, so how big is the difference between us? Besides, you can increase your strength with the Heart of the Underworld, don't they have other ways to increase their strength? Don't other great gods have a way to increase their strength?" Destry said directly.
"Well, you really spoil the fun!" Lilith said coquettishly, and then threw a heart-shaped stone directly at Destry's chest.
Destry picked up the dark red stone and subconsciously asked, "The clone of the Heart of the Underworld? You figured out how to split the Heart of the Underworld so quickly?"
Lilith rolled her eyes at him, "You know better than me! I don't know where you got this information and knowledge from!"
"This thing is of no use to me, but it's good to have it in my hand. Maybe I can show the supreme power of the Lord God in front of the gods in the future!" Destry smiled, dripped blood to recognize the owner, and put it away carefully.
Compared to the terrifying military power that far exceeds the god level possessed by any main god, this ability is unique.
However, if Destry had been given a choice, he would have chosen stronger force if there was not sufficient firepower.
The main gods moved very quickly, and soon, two middle-level main gods of death and three lower-level main gods of death arrived at the Netherworld Mountain one after another.
"Congratulations, Lady Lilith, for obtaining another treasure like the Heart of the Underworld!" Lord God Di Ting, whose long hair covered the ground, stepped forward and congratulated on behalf of the other four Lord Gods of Death.
Lilith smiled triumphantly and waved her hand. The Heart of the Underworld clone fell directly into the hands of the five Death Gods.
