Chapter 608 The Underworld Needs No Allies! The Mountain Hermit Takes Action
"The Queen of the City?"
Qin Ming looked down at the woman in green below. Clearly, she had also used some kind of illusion technique to hypnotize an eternal true god who had traversed three thousand primordial universes.
Empress Fengdu, one of the twelve emperors of the native inhabitants of the Eastern Extreme Region.
He is skilled in time and the fundamental laws of the world, and has reached the second level of the God King realm in both. His strength is extremely astonishing, and he can fight against emperors and monarchs, and his strength is almost the same as theirs.
In fact, his strength is on the same level as that of the God King Muneo.
"You come representing the Eastern Pole Region? What brings you here?"
Qin Ming remained calm.
"Greetings, Great Emperor of Fengdu!"
The woman in green was quite respectful. Before coming, she had spoken with the ancestor of the Eastern Extremity Domain and had a general idea of how terrifying he was.
Lone wolves like the God-King Zongfu are unaware of what happens outside the Source World.
Or perhaps it's just hearsay.
However, the ancestor of the Eastern Extremity Domain was already in the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm in his true form, but his cultivation at the early stage of God Emperor meant that he could only barely survive in the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm.
They don't even have the qualifications to enter the Dark Holy Realm!
To reach the Dark Holy Realm, one must at least possess the strength of a late-stage God Emperor!
The fact that Qin Ming knew the true name of the Thunder Ancestor and was not afraid of him indicates that he was at least a powerful being at the late stage of God Emperor, or even at the peak of God Emperor.
Moreover, it didn't infiltrate like the Time-Space Demon, the Two Realms Palace Master, or the Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion Master; rather, it was a true spirit reincarnated, and the Origin Continent was its 'home world'!
How could the Queen of Fengdu not be in awe?
This is the advantage of creating cards from nothingness. Although Qin Ming is only at the peak of the Chaos Realm, none of these major forces dare to underestimate him.
Like the God-King Zongfu.
When she saw the rich aura of the Origin World emanating from Qin Ming, the Empress of Fengdu felt a tremor in her heart, confirming the guess of the Ancestor of the Eastern Extreme Region.
This is definitely a mysterious and powerful being.
Otherwise, why would they be favored by the Source World?
"I come representing the Eastern Extreme Region, seeking an alliance with the Underworld to jointly combat the Flame Wind Ancient Kingdom and the Thunder Ancient Kingdom!"
The Queen of Fengdu's voice was gentle, yet extremely firm.
As she spoke, she glanced at the God King Zongfu. In the earliest days, the Origin Continent was mostly occupied by natives.
Both ancient kingdoms had very few inhabitants at that time, occupying only a very remote and small area.
At that time, the natives of the Origin Continent were known as the Twelve Divine Emperors.
Of course, at that time, the creatures on the Origin Continent were generally very weak, and very few cultivators from the three thousand primordial universes managed to cross the cycle of reincarnation and come to the Origin Continent.
Judging from their current strength, these twelve God Emperors have only just become God Kings.
When the God King Zongfu joined the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom to conquer all directions, it was to seize territory from the natives. She and Zongfu clashed more than once, and their relationship was once very strained.
However, as the relationship between the God King Zongfu and the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom later deteriorated, the tensions eased.
But the long years have passed.
The territory of the natives has long been compressed on a large scale, and they are all huddled in that area of the Eastern Pole!
The twelve emperors of that time were able to become God Kings in a short period of time in the early stages, and now they are all at the second level of God King!
Among them, the "Empress of the Wind City" is the most powerful.
"Interesting. I haven't even made a move yet, and you all want to form an alliance with the Underworld?"
Qin Ming's gaze swept between the God King Zongfu and the Empress of Fengdu. One of them was a traitorous general with a blood feud with the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, and the other was an indigenous leader with a generational blood feud with both ancient kingdoms.
The Mother River is alright.
They are just an elite force resisting the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, and their numbers are not large. As long as the hidden world is opened up, it can accommodate everyone.
However, the situation is different in the Eastern Arctic region.
With a massive population, they need a stable territory to continue their lineage.
Although this territory is constantly shrinking.
"You want an alliance, what can you offer, and what do you want?"
Qin Ming's words were direct, even somewhat sharp.
King Zongfu remained silent, wanting to hear what more substantial bargaining chips his old rival could offer.
The Queen of Fengdu was not angry; instead, she revealed a knowing smile.
"Your Majesty, it is true that the Eastern Region is not as powerful as it once was," Empress Fengdu frankly admitted. "But our very existence, and our value to the two ancient kingdoms of the Origin Continent, is our greatest asset."
"My Eastern Extremity Ancestor was outside the Origin World, and his strength was indeed quite different from that of the Ancestors of Yanfeng and Leiting, but he was not afraid of them at all within the Origin World."
In addition to these, there are twelve emperors and numerous god-kings.
"Forming an alliance with the Underworld will allow it to better establish itself on the Origin Continent."
The Queen of the Wind City spoke with considerable confidence.
"The Origin Continent is vast and boundless, with complex terrain and a bizarre and ever-changing spacetime structure. Many forbidden lands, treasure lands, and even the two ancient kingdoms may not have fully grasped its mysteries."
Our Eastern Territory has a rich heritage passed down through generations, giving us an intimate knowledge of this continent. Our intelligence is invaluable.
Even a top-tier treasure land like the Heavenly Pillar Realm can be infiltrated by my Eastern Extreme Region.
Qin Ming nodded slightly.
The Eastern Extreme Region is not weak. If the God King Zongfu is just a piece of chewing gum that the founder of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom dislikes, then the Eastern Extreme Region is a tough nut to crack.
The progenitor of the Eastern Extremity Region is going crazy.
Even the two progenitors were helpless.
As for intelligence.
How can a power as insignificant as the Mother River of Life compare to the former masters of the Origin Continent?
"You're right, but unfortunately, my Underworld doesn't need allies. I want these so-called treasure lands; I don't need to sneak in at all."
Instead, they forced their way in!
Qin Ming shook his head slightly after hearing this.
That's exactly what he thought.
He wouldn't easily enter the Origin Continent without sufficient certainty.
He'd already boasted enough, and he'd become mortal enemies with the two progenitors. If he rashly entered the Origin Continent and got beaten up, his disguised identity would be completely shattered.
And have sufficient strength.
Why would anyone need to smuggle themselves into the country?
When he was an outsider like the Time-Space Demon or the Palace Master of Two Realms, whose strength was suppressed by the supreme rules and could only be exerted at the peak of the Chaos Realm, what about him?
Ultimately, he's also a native!
Originating from the continental world's indigenous peoples!
"Force a fight?"
The Queen of Fengdu was startled. Qin Ming actually had such confidence that he could fight the two ancient kingdoms head-on without being defeated.
"Hmph, do you think the Underworld is just the Eastern Region? You can't even imagine the strength and resources of the Underworld..."
Before Qin Ming could speak, the God King Zongfu spoke up, giving a brief account of how Qin Ming helped the original universe's will reincarnate.
And the relationship between "Fengdu Black Laws" and the Supreme Rules, etc.
The more the Queen of Fengdu listened, the more alarmed she became.
What does the Eastern Extremity seek? Territory? Or something else?
I don't care about these things.
Within the underworld, all people of every race live in equality.
I will not give special treatment to the indigenous people of the Eastern Arctic region.
Qin Ming remained calm. He would not grant them special privileges for the sake of a so-called alliance. These powerful forces were not fools and would not allow him to manipulate them.
This is only the initial discussion.
It's unrealistic to expect them to take action.
They will only make a real move once the Underworld has established itself on the Origin Continent and demonstrated sufficient strength.
"Equality? That's enough!"
Empress Fengdu's eyes lit up. For the Eastern Extreme Region now, there was no need for any special treatment. As long as equality could be maintained, that would be the best treatment.
"If the 'Black Laws of Fengdu' are truly as Zongfu says, my Eastern Region has no objection and will fully comply with the 'Black Laws of Fengdu'!"
The "Black Laws of Fengdu" were far too harsh for the emperors of the two ancient kingdoms, but for a race like theirs that was on the verge of extinction and could only survive in the Eastern Territory, it was no problem at all.
Massive consumption of lives?
Given their harsh living conditions, what could they possibly eat?
He was universally hated and was an enemy of most of the god-kings on the Origin Continent!
In some ways, the external environments of the Underworld and the Eastern Extreme Region are very similar; almost everywhere you look, there are enemies.
No wonder they came knocking on our door.
"My Eastern Region seeks nothing more than a place for equal survival, to continue the flame of civilization, and nothing else."
The Queen of Fengdu took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
Returning to the peak position of the early days of the Origin Continent?
it's out of the question!
Within the Origin Continent, even a being like the God-King Zongfu could not be completely killed, let alone some powerful emperors, monarchs, and the ancestors of two nations.
"Very good. If that's the case, perhaps we can still cooperate a little." Qin Ming nodded slightly and said, "The specific details of the cooperation can be drafted by our subordinates."
"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Empress Fengdu felt a great weight lifted from her heart and bowed in response.
"As for you, God King Zongfu," Qin Ming said, turning to the silent Zongfu.
King Zongfu felt a chill run down his spine.
"What I said before remains the same," Qin Ming said calmly. "The Underworld treats everyone and every power the same. What you ask for depends on how you do it."
King Zongfu nodded respectfully.
The Underworld treats everyone equally, and even the Eastern Extreme Region receives no special treatment. This only shows one thing: in Qin Ming's eyes, the Underworld is supreme!
This, however, gave him some ideas.
For example, truly surrendering to the underworld!
Just like that mountain dweller, who was only at the first level of the God King realm, he was appointed as the Central Ghost Emperor. This shows that the Underworld is still very lacking in strong individuals.
If they had joined them earlier, they might have been able to secure a place for themselves sooner.
However, making such a decision is not easy.
This is not a collaboration.
The two sides are not equal.
However, if they can gain the approval and future possibilities and protection of the underworld, it would be an excellent outcome for the Mother River of Life.
This cycle has reached its end.
He also needs to consider his own needs.
"Yes! Zongfu, representing the River of Life, thanks the Emperor for his hospitality."
King Zongfu respectfully accepted.
"very good."
Qin Ming stood up, and an invisible aura of majesty spread out, as if the power of the entire underworld was empowering him, which startled both the Empress of Fengdu and Zongfu.
Qin Ming is indeed at the Chaos Realm, but this aura is probably comparable to that of a God King at the Ultimate Realm.
They actually knew some information about Qin Ming.
For example, the first person in the Origin Continent to break through to True God with 100,000 times the genetic power was so great that even the Supreme Rules descended to celebrate, indicating that his potential was greater than anyone else's!
"That concludes today's meeting. You two may return now. I will entrust the matter of cooperation to the Central Ghost Emperor, the Mountain-Sitting Guest. You can discuss it with him later."
"I humbly obey the Emperor's decree!"
The God King Zongfu and the Empress of Fengdu responded in unison.
Soon, the two consciousnesses withdrew from the hypnotized Eternal God's body. The two bodies swayed slightly, returned to their original appearances, and respectfully bowed before leaving the hall.
Inside the main hall, only Qin Ming remained once again.
He strolled to the window, gazing at the deep, dark sky of the underworld and the ever-flowing River of Oblivion.
The Mother River of Life, the Easternmost Region... Two major forces hostile to the ancient kingdom are drawing closer.
This is just the beginning.
As the reputation of the Underworld spreads and the two ancient kingdoms feel the pressure, perhaps more forces dissatisfied with the status quo will secretly cast their gaze upon it.
This is naturally a good thing for him.
He already had a plan in mind.
For him, the most important thing is to digest the insights gained from this cycle of reincarnation, attempt to break through to the God-King level, and then appoint another batch of God-Kings.
At the same time, we await the enhancement of the original cosmic will and other strengths to enrich the power of the underworld.
Strength is the most important thing!
"The Mountain Dweller".
With a slight thought, Qin Ming transmitted his voice to the Mountain-Sitting Guest, who was in seclusion in the core of the Underworld.
In an instant, a divine power avatar of the Mountain-Sitting Guest appeared in the main hall. This time, he also gained a lot from his comprehension.
If one can digest these insights and, with the blessing of the Netherworld's origin, perhaps one can merge the two major branches of the world's origin.
To become a being at the second level of the God King realm!
Along the way, he helped Qin Ming a lot, but Qin Ming also gave him enough feedback, making his talent much better than before.
"The God-King of the River of Life and the Empress of Fengdu in the Eastern Region just came to see me, wanting to discuss cooperation..."
Qin Ming spoke up and recounted the whole story in detail.
"After defeating the Thunder Ancestor, there should be quite a few more forces coming to negotiate. These two ancient kingdoms used too many ugly methods and offended too many people."
However, we don't need any so-called alliances; we're trying to 'subdue' them!
"I see."
The mountain dweller took a deep breath. He understood Qin Ming's thoughts, but he couldn't help feeling some pressure.
Even at his peak, he was only at the first level of the God King realm.
And he's a lone wolf.
Among the gods, he was at the very bottom.
Now, however, he needs to represent the Underworld and negotiate with the most powerful forces on the Origin Continent, and from a higher level.
This was indeed a significant blow to him.
But in the entire Underworld, there was no one else he could use besides him. The Chaos City Lord and others were too weak and knew nothing about the Origin Continent.
Besides him, the strongest one is Di Ting.
We can't just let Di Ting handle the negotiations, can we?
After devouring a large amount of cosmic origin this time, Di Ting's strength has increased the most rapidly. It may even be able to directly reach the second level of God King after digesting the cosmic origin!
"There's no need to feel pressured. After all, they're the ones who need our help! We don't need anything from them."
Strength is the key!
Qin Ming smiled slightly. Once he and Di Ting break through, he can then use the Netherworld Ruler Method to control the power of the Netherworld. His strength will not be weaker than those so-called emperors!
"I will be going into seclusion for a period of time to cultivate. I'll leave all this to you."
