Chapter 33: The Underworld King of the End

"Brother, Brother." Just as Lingyun was resting, Ruoxi's voice rang out in his heart.

"Hm?" Lingyun felt a jolt in his heart and immediately opened his eyes. After sweeping his Divine Sense around to ensure no one was paying attention to this place, he directly flashed into the Cloud Realm.

"How is it? Did Ruoxi analyze anything?" Lingyun appeared before Ruoxi.

In Ruoxi's hand, a deep blue mist was flying back and forth inside a small, translucent ball, seemingly wanting to break through it, but no matter how it moved or permeated, it could not break through the ball.

"This is the power of an Evil God from the water lineage, right?" Lingyun frowned slightly as he looked at this power. "Could this be what you analyzed from those claws? But my intuition tells me that the situation in this world was absolutely not caused by this kind of power. I have seen many Evil Gods of the water lineage, but this is definitely not their style."

"Mm, at first I also suspected that an Evil God of the water lineage did this, but it always felt wrong to me, which is why I didn't notify you, Brother, and instead separated this power. Only then did I find a trace of power hidden very deep within it. Look." Ruoxi nodded and raised her right hand. In her hand was another small, translucent ball, and inside it, a barely perceptible gray current was circling.

Looking at this gray current, Lingyun's brow furrowed instantly: "This is the power of an Evil God from the death lineage. It is also the kind of method this type of Evil God likes to use most. Leading a world toward death—for them, whether it is for interest or cultivation, these are things that can excite them. Ruoxi, can you determine exactly which individual it is?"

"It is the Underworld King of the End." A hint of gravity appeared on Ruoxi's face.

Lingyun couldn't help but cover his face: "How could it be this madman? It seems that this time, we must act cleanly and decisively; otherwise, if we get entangled by this guy, it will absolutely be a massive headache."

"Mm, but don't worry, Brother. The World Consciousness of this world has already sealed the entire world, and the world barrier has been expanded to its maximum. Unless it is forcibly broken, the Evil God power within this world will absolutely be unable to make contact with the outside." Ruoxi clearly also understood the severity of this matter.

"However, hasn't he not made a move for a long time? What kind of madness is he having this time?" Lingyun looked helpless.

"Who knows!" Ruoxi shrugged helplessly.

While these two unwitting culprits were sighing over the Underworld King of the End's unreliable methods and beginning to discuss how to wipe out the power the Underworld King of the End had left here without leaking any of their own information, the World Consciousnesses on the River of Time and Space were in an uproar.

Some time ago, they had all been working hard to find that newly born world for a bet, only to turn around and find that their own homes had been raided. An unknown power had permeated into the River of Time and Space, continuously leading various worlds onto a path of destruction. Moreover, without them noticing, quite a few worlds had already been destroyed.

This time, they had truly poked a hornet's nest. Since these World Consciousnesses had ascended, their subordinate worlds had never encountered such a situation. What made them even more frustrated was that it was an Evil God who had alerted them to this matter, which made them feel they had lost face. One must know that these Evil God fellows had all abandoned the worlds that nurtured them to survive in the Void, and many Evil Gods even took pleasure in destroying worlds. Their relationship with the World Consciousnesses could never be good; it was not an exaggeration to say they were opposites. Now, having lost such face in front of their arch-enemies, they were filled with suppressed rage.

Numerous powerful World Consciousnesses acted simultaneously, easily suppressing the chaos in the River of Time and Space. But that power had already permeated into the worlds of the River of Time and Space. Looking at the fate lines in the River of Fate that were tangled into a mess, the World Consciousnesses were also on the verge of tears. This made them swear that if they caught the mastermind, they would definitely make him experience what the anger of a World Consciousness was.

However, what about these chaotic world lines? The numerous World Consciousnesses deduced together and finally found a slight method: they directly sealed the worlds where the world lines had become disordered for the time being and set them aside to be dealt with later. After all, this was a result caused by their own negligence, wasn't it?

Now, another more important matter lay before the World Consciousnesses, one that concerned their dignity: finding the mastermind. However, the perpetrator clearly had sufficient preparation, and for a moment, the World Consciousnesses really could not find out who had done this good deed.

Now the World Consciousnesses were not having it. They were among the most top-tier of the World Consciousnesses; someone had been messing around in their home, and they couldn't even catch the person—what a joke. The World Consciousnesses put down everything in their hands just to track down the culprit. But this culprit was also quite decisive, directly cutting off his own arm to save his life by erasing all his traces, leaving the group of World Consciousnesses furious but helpless.

On this day, one World Consciousness approached the other World Consciousnesses.

"You say you have already found the culprit?" The other World Consciousnesses all looked at her with confusion.

"Mm, although that world has already entered a sealed state, the information transmitted by the World Consciousness cannot be fake, because that world has already nearly perished because of this power. I do not believe it would deceive me," that World Consciousness said.

"Then tell us, who caused this incident?" asked a woman in palace attire.

"The Underworld King of the End!"

"The Underworld King of the End? After we taught that guy a lesson last time, hasn't he not appeared in the River of Time and Space again? What abnormal thing did he eat this time to start going crazy, daring to stir up trouble in the River of Time and Space again?" A woman dressed in a Western-style long dress frowned slightly.

"No, if it is the Underworld King of the End, then it is indeed possible, and the other party also has the motive to do so," the gorgeously dressed woman Weiya said.

"Tell us!" the languid woman urged.

"First, the motive. I said before that the Underworld King of the End was severely injured under the riot of the Sea of Origin when the world we are looking for was born. This kind of severe injury is not an ordinary injury, but an injury to his origin. For this kind of injury, if he relies solely on his own recuperation, it will be impossible to heal without dozens of Epochs. Moreover, you should understand the personality of the Underworld King of the End; he rose too quickly and offended countless people. Now, in his current state, there are definitely people who would kick him while he is down, or even take his life while he is sick..."

"Mm, that makes sense. It shouldn't be said that this situation would definitely happen."

"Second, the way the worlds perished. You should know that those perished worlds were not destroyed by violence, but were induced toward death. You should know which Evil Gods would use this method."

"Evil Gods of the death lineage like to use this method the most. The power released when a world is gradually dying is absolutely top-grade nourishment for them," said the woman who brought the news.

"In summary, the possibility that the culprit is the Underworld King of the End is as high as eighty percent. The remaining twenty percent of the possibility is only because we do not have solid evidence; after all, he is not the only Evil God of the death lineage," Weiya concluded.

"As for evidence, I have it!" The woman smiled and took out a Light Ball from a place on her chest that made people's imaginations run wild. Inside the Light Ball, a wisp of gray current was flowing.

Weiya's gaze fell on the translucent Light Ball, and her eyes flickered: "Where did you get this thing?"

"This is the evidence that world gave me."

"It's much easier to handle with evidence. Aierliya, give this thing to me. Everyone else, gather the other sisters; we are leaving immediately to beat that brat up!" Weiya took the Light Ball from the woman's hand.

Watching the others go to call people, a smile appeared on Weiya's face: "If I am not mistaken, the power of this Light Ball should come from the world we are looking for. In that case, I am one step ahead of the other sisters. However, the most important thing now is to go and beat up that reckless Underworld King of the End. Daring to play us for fools, does he really think we World Consciousnesses are made of mud?"

Quickly placing the Light Ball into a private space, Weiya caught up with the other World Consciousnesses and headed toward the Underworld King of the End's hiding place to kill him.
