Chapter 1680: Early Preparations

Shouldn't it be? Zhuge Feiyu retorted: "The Divine Realm also has people dying, and it also needs reincarnation!"

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, then also said: "It should be, it should! But the problem is, if the passage between the Nether Realm and the Divine Realm opens, the Yin souls of the Divine Realm will flood in, and even now we can't manage them!"

Not bad! Zhuge Feiyu nodded: "That's why we need your cooperation!"

You have a way? Speak! If it's feasible, I'll definitely cooperate! Ye Liuyun said.

Zhuge Feiyu nodded and said directly: "Close the exit to the Divine Realm! Let the Divine Realm experts remain and become the guardians of the Underworld. Then periodically open the Divine Realm passage, letting the Divine Realm's Yin souls trickle in. Afterwards gradually restore normal Yin soul traffic."

That's simple enough. But to make the current Nether Realm Divine Realm experts obey management and actively guard the Nether Realm, we also need strength!

Ye Liuyun felt that Shura and Zhuge Feiyu's strength weren't enough, and it's still hard to manage other Divine Realm experts.

So I plan to gather all the Yin souls of the Nether Realm Ninefold Heavenly Sovereign, have you use the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner to subdue them, then cultivate them to the Divine Realm. With this foundation, subduing others will be much easier.

This process might be slow, but as long as we slowly accumulate foundations and make early preparations, it will eventually become possible! Zhuge Feiyu analyzed.

Alright then! Since you think it's feasible, let's give it a try! Ye Liuyun also fully believed in Zhuge Feiyu's abilities.

He believed that since Zhuge Feiyu sought him out, it must have been carefully considered. He also should fully trust and cooperate with Zhuge Feiyu.

Thus, Ye Liuyun, following Zhuge Feiyu's request, rang the Mourning Bell and summoned all the Yin souls of the Underworld Ninefold Heavenly Sovereign.

As for the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, Ye Liuyun directly handed it over to Zhuge Feiyu.

He felt that Zhuge Feiyu would need to frequently use the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner to subdue Yin souls; giving it to him would be more convenient. Otherwise, each time we'd have to find him, and if he's unavailable, it would delay matters here.

For him, it's just not using Yin soul power; for now, it won't have a big impact.

You gave me this, so how will you come back later? How will we contact you? Zhuge Feiyu asked, puzzled.

Ye Liuyun immediately used the Black Tower to transmit, recording this place's coordinates. That way he can return anytime; it just costs a bit more energy.

As for contact, we can just sign a Divine Soul Contract, and we can stay in touch anytime! Ye Liuyun said.

The Underworld is special, connecting to various worlds, so their Divine Soul Contract can always reach Ye Liuyun.

As for whether we can still stay in touch after reaching the Divine Realm, we'll see later. Anyway, if the Divine Soul Contract fails to connect, the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner also won't be able to contact Ye Liuyun.

Alright! But the Divine Soul Contract must be drafted by me! Zhuge Feiyu insisted.

Good! Ye Liuyun immediately agreed.

Shura also thought Zhuge Feiyu wanted to escape the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner's control and sign an equal contract with Ye Liuyun. She also wanted to remind Ye Liuyun not to trust others too much.

But Zhuge Feiyu immediately produced a Master-Servant Contract, saying to Ye Liuyun: "If you let me use the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, you must sign this Master-Servant Contract; I will still serve you as master. The Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, I'm only borrowing it. Ownership remains yours! Otherwise, I won't accept it."

You're going overboard, aren't you? Just signing an equal contract would do! Why bother with a Master-Servant Contract? Ye Liuyun was a bit puzzled.

Trust is between friends, but a contract is about being cautious first and generous later. It's not that you shouldn't trust us; it's so we can focus our efforts on helping you manage the Divine Realm.

Otherwise, in our future endeavors, we'll worry that you'll misunderstand us. Although you wouldn't think that, we'd inevitably be distracted!

Once we sign this contract, no one will consider betrayal, and we'll save energy! Zhuge Feiyu explained to Ye Liuyun.

Shura also said: "I agree too! I'll sign this contract as well, so I won't lose contact with you later. And your Underworld God's Sword, I'm only borrowing it!"

The Divine Soul Contract drafted by Zhuge Feiyu also reminded Shura. She followed suit, wanting to sign such a Master-Servant Contract with Ye Liuyun.

Alright! Ye Liuyun saw their firm stance, didn't refuse, and after signing the contract, handed the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner to Zhuge Feiyu.

Zhuge Feiyu waved the Soul Banner, collected those Ninefold Heavenly Sovereign's Yin souls inside, then after controlling them, released them.

From now on, these Yin souls will be our trump card. First, we'll use resources to elevate them to the Divine Realm. He said happily.

Next, Zhuge Feiyu and Shura, together with Ye Liuyun, went to the Yellow Spring.

Ye Liuyun is the Lord of the Underworld, and only he can close the passage of reincarnation to the Divine Realm.

Where do the Divine Realm's Yin souls go if they don't enter the Underworld? Ye Liuyun also asked Shura.

If Yin souls don't enter the Underworld, over time they will dissipate. Or they gather in dark, damp places underground, devouring each other, strengthening themselves, keeping the Yin souls undying. Shura explained.

Why can't the gate from the Nether Realm to the Divine Realm be opened? Ye Liuyun asked again.

It's been sealed by someone from the Divine Realm side! Probably there are strong ones in the Divine Realm who don't want Yin souls to enter reincarnation! Shura replied.

This issue will have to wait until you reach the Divine Realm to investigate. Our plan to connect to the Divine Realm isn't something that can be done in a day or two! You don't need to rush. After you get to the Divine Realm, just pay more attention! Zhuge Feiyu also said to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun nodded, also knowing this isn't something to rush.

Waiting until he reaches the Divine Realm and becomes strong enough to seal and oppose the Underworld's powerhouses—who knows how long that would take!

Anyway, cultivating Divine Realm experts in the Underworld also takes time, which happens to be a buffer.

But if we cut off the Divine Realm's reincarnation, will the Divine Realm notice? Ye Liuyun suddenly worried about this.

Shouldn't! Zhuge Feiyu analyzed: "The Underworld's experts who reach the Divine Realm are originally few, so their impact on the Divine Realm's population is small! I guess the Divine Realm must have another way to enter reincarnation! Otherwise, the Divine Realm would constantly have no battles and no deaths!"

Ye Liuyun immediately denied: "Impossible! I heard Qiong Qi say that the Divine Realm is the same as here, even having wars with foreign tribes—how could there be no deaths!"

That means they have another method of reincarnation! Shura also confirmed.

They chatted a while longer, then stopped speculating. They could only wait for Ye Liuyun to go and then investigate the situation.

There's one more thing I think deserves attention! Zhuge Feiyu finally said to Ye Liuyun.
