Chapter 818: Chapter 812: Severing the Underworld
Underworld.
Lin Yuan and Yin Celestial Son and others have returned, while the Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins did not follow but stayed within the Returning Ruins.
He gained his path through the Returning Ruins, and now he must remain there to consolidate its power.
This is also why, moments ago in the Void, Lin Yuan did not pursue the Buddha and the Demon Lord.
The Buddha and Demon Lord needed time, and so did they.
Moreover, with ample time, Lin Yuan’s preparation would certainly surpass that of the Demon Lord and the Buddha.
Because Lin Yuan holds more worlds than the Demon Lord and the Buddha.
The Returning Ruins is a complete world, in the hands of the Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins.
The Mysterious World and the Real World have almost completely merged, which is also a complete world, referred to as Heaven and Earth, under the control of the Yin Celestial Son.
Moreover, the Underworld, evolved from Lin Yuan’s tattoos, could also be considered half a world.
This equates to Lin Yuan having two and a half worlds.
While the Demon Lord and Buddha each hold only one world.
The battle between Lin Yuan and the Demon Lord, the Buddha, is like a battle between two great nations.
When it comes to an enduring war, Lin Yuan is bound to win.
At this moment, Lin Yuan is not afraid to drag it out, nor of depleting resources.
In fact, he can proactively drag the Demon Lord and the Buddha into a drawn-out battle, depleting them over time.
Next, Lin Yuan will employ the tactic of boiling a frog in warm water to deal with the Demon Lord and Buddha.
Before the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Yin Celestial Son looks up at Lin Yuan and slowly speaks: “It is time, I should separate the Underworld and slowly erode the Void.”
The Underworld was evolved from Lin Yuan’s full-body tattoos; it is not a true world but a phantom world where only Spirit Bodies exist.
Or, it can be understood as a metaverse in the age of technology.
The reason the Underworld can exist long-term, as the place of life and death reincarnation, is that it depends on Heaven and Earth.
However, Heaven and Earth represent life, while the Underworld represents death.
The attributes of both do not match, and the Underworld’s dependency on Heaven and Earth is only temporary.
The ultimate objective of the Underworld is to devour the Void and become a genuine world.
And now, the time has come.
To separate the Underworld from Heaven and Earth and let it devour the Void.
And Heaven and Earth can stay, becoming the foundation for Lin Yuan after eliminating the Possession Corpse and proving himself as the Human King.
Heaven and Earth have always been dominated by the Human King.
Lin Yuan looks at Yin Celestial Son and asks: “Are you ready?”
“Actually, we can wait a bit longer; I’ve just eliminated the Good Corpse, and cannot eliminate the Possession Corpse in the short term.”
“The Underworld can temporarily still depend on Heaven and Earth.”
Yin Celestial Son shook his head and said to Lin Yuan: “It’s better sooner rather than later; it’s the right time to strike while the iron is hot.”
“You’ve just cut off the Good Corpse and sent Wa Huang to be reborn through Soldier Resolution, which has just frightened the Buddha and the Demon Lord.”
“They are unclear about our situation now and are very much scared.”
“We can strategically leverage their fear to invade the Void at this opportune moment.”
“Otherwise, if we wait until they react, things won’t be so easy to handle.”
After Yin Celestial Son spoke, Lin Yuan thought it over and found it made a lot of sense.
They are currently at an advantage; as long as it’s an advantage, they should seize the opportunity to confound and frighten the Demon Lord and Buddha.
Moreover, based on Lin Yuan’s understanding of the Buddha and the Demon Lord.
At this time, if they formally invade the Void, the Buddha and the Demon Lord are likely not to retaliate.
Before figuring out Lin Yuan’s situation, the Buddha will likely choose to temporarily hold back.
As for the Demon Lord?
Lin Yuan didn’t concern himself with him at all, unless it comes to a direct life and death clash, where the Demon Lord could play some role.
In these confrontations requiring wits, the Demon Lord would likely be lagging behind.
Moreover, the invasion of the Void by the Underworld will not affect Heaven and Earth and Returning Ruins.
Heaven and Earth and Returning Ruins can still consolidate their forces, ready to provide support at any time.
On the contrary, once the Underworld invades the Void, the Demon Lord and the Buddha will surely be alarmed.
Invading the Void now will instead excellently restrain the scarce forces left with the Demon Lord and Buddha.
As the Lord of the Underworld, Yin Celestial Son has made his decision, and Lin Yuan could not oppose it.
“Since you’ve decided, then let it be so!” Lin Yuan said to Yin Celestial Son.
Yin Celestial Son did not hesitate, immediately sitting cross-legged and beginning to perform magic.
“Boom.”
“Boom, boom, boom.”
As Yin Celestial Son performed his magic, peeling the Underworld from Heaven and Earth, thunder roared between heaven and earth, and the sky spun and the ground reeled.
Fortunately, those who survived in Heaven and Earth have weathered great storms and were not panicked by these minor disturbances.
Apart from the thunder and minor earthquakes, peeling the Underworld had no impact on Heaven and Earth.
Moreover, even after being peeled apart, the Underworld will still be responsible for the reincarnation and rebirth of the many races in Heaven and Earth.
The only difference is that, once it completely devours the Void, the Underworld will become a real world.
By that time, Heaven and Earth, Returning Ruins, and the Underworld will become three equal realms.
Under the Trinity, they can also control Heaven and Earth, preventing it from cicada molting and giving birth to new worlds.
As long as Lin Yuan’s plan succeeds, the structure of the Three Realms will be set from now on.
As the Underworld was peeled from Heaven and Earth, it transitioned from reality to illusion.
At this time, the Underworld is at its most fragile, and the Yin Celestial Son is at his weakest.
If the Demon Lord and Buddha could seize this moment to launch a surprise attack, it would undoubtedly be the best opportunity.
One must know, back then, the Human King forced the Demon Lord and Buddha to vow not to descend personally to Heaven and Earth.
Now, the Underworld has been separated from Heaven and Earth, and no longer counts as Heaven and Earth.
Thus, they would not be breaking their vow if they actively invaded the Underworld.
The Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins and the weakened Yin Celestial Son might not be a match for the Demon Lord and Buddha combined.
Unfortunately, Lin Yuan’s elimination of the Good Corpse, coupled with Wa Huang’s rebirth through Soldier Resolution, and the probing battle in the Void.
All of this has frightened the Demon Lord and Buddha.
The Demon Lord might still have thoughts of acting, but the Buddha now only wishes to play it safe.
Not long ago, when Lin Yuan and the others left the Void openly, neither the Demon Lord nor the Buddha dared to take action to stop them.
Now, calling on the Demon Lord and Buddha to seize the moment to attack the Underworld, to strike first, they lack the courage even more.
On the battlefield, opportunities often appear in an instant.
In that moment, without making the right judgment, opportunities vanish in the blink of an eye.
The moment the Underworld was separated from Heaven and Earth was the last chance for the Demon Lord and Buddha to turn the tables.
Alas, they did not act at that moment.
This almost seals the fate of their defeat.
After separating the Underworld from Heaven and Earth, Yin Celestial Son wasted no time in performing magic to merge the Underworld with the Void.
In contrast, Yin Celestial Son’s thinking was much clearer.
He knows his weaknesses and did not leave too long an opening.
