War often comes quite suddenly.
And the peculiarity of the Underworld is that the Heroic Spirit Army composed of "mortals" can also inflict fatal damage on the immortal deity-level beings.
Perhaps even more peculiar is that in this world of "slaughter evolution," deities are often evolved from mortals.
"Just through slaughter, one can continuously grow stronger and even achieve immortality... The Evolution World is too tempting, how many can resist such an overnight ascendancy?"
Lu Ping’an could feel that the "deities" of this world are actually somewhat special, and without the support of this world’s rules, they would inevitably be significantly weakened....
"Yet even so, their strength is still quite high. How long does it normally take to cultivate a ninth-order? Here, perhaps it would only take a few years to kill out one, not to mention that it’s much harder to cultivate above the ninth-order in other places."
The relationship between deities and followers is symbiotic, and the deities cultivated in this world have a symbiotic relationship with the world itself.
From Zeta Duna, Lu Ping’an could sense the "fear of the world," that intrinsic fear of being destroyed, unwilling to let go of any lifeline.
Lu Ping’an had even detected that the mad wars of this world were also guided by the essence of the world.
"Since there is no savior king, try to cultivate one... or rather, raise Gu one."
The Underworld itself is a Gu-raising ground for cultivating advanced combat power through slaughter. When the entire multi-layered world faces a crisis, it naturally uses habitual methods to overcome the crisis.
For outsiders like Lu Ping’an, it’s not so bad. Now, the native deities are probably all involved..... having enjoyed the world’s blessings and nurture, how could there be no cost?
"Just like when Earth was attacked by the God Above Gods, and those Order Gods who were forced to enter the field to die as losers...."
The whole world has been endowed with growth, frenzy, and bloodthirsty buffs. Once slaughter begins, the speed of evolution would greatly increase, and I’m afraid it would be difficult to turn back.
This world’s method is actually quite "gentle." It doesn’t need to forcibly command; it only needs to let the "Evolver" receive enough benefits and returns, and then they simply cannot stop.
"The whole world has already become a Life Cauldron."
Lu Ping’an never expected that his "World’s Reason" would be validated in this world.
"The fusion evolution of life/plundering (feeding) evolution" and "the redemption of life," merely acquiring these two "World’s Reason" greatly enriched Lu Ping’an’s Divine Kingdom, making the trip worthwhile.
In such an environment, Lu Ping’an had long determined one thing...
"The Underworld cannot be redeemed..."
The world does not need his salvation, it is now in a stage of self-rescue, hatching out "King Bug" is its instinctual decision.
And this does not seem to be an incorrect decision.
If sacrificing all living beings of the Underworld could cultivate an eleventh-tier being, which in turn helps protect the world’s continuity, it seems like an advantageous gain.
However, for mortals in the midst of the all-surrounding blaze, it equates to a predestined outcome of destruction.
"Yet I can save a portion of life, and also...."
Lu Ping’an is self-aware, if he jumped in, not even remnants would be left.
As for the deities of this world, they may have their own path to redemption, they may instinctively yearn for that king’s right, or they may already be addicted to the comfort and joy of evolution.
Those who want to die, those who want to gamble, cannot be stopped.
And the mortals, subjects, and Heroic Spirit warriors dragged by those "deities" would probably also be forced into it.
What he might be able to do is carve a path of escape for mortals like Casca who produces in the crevice, neutral mortals, and "deserters."
Yet even so, he still stands out markedly.
"Here they come again?"
The Dragon Swarm in the sky attacks again, Lu Ping’an sighed and let the already exhausted warriors take action again.
A large number of warriors have been forced to convert into the "Burning Legion," and Lu Ping’an gave them points, reviving them again..... I’m afraid it won’t be long before this conversion rule is no longer workable.
"The Underworld cannot be redeemed, and it refuses to be redeemed.... But that doesn’t mean I really can’t do a thing."
Lu Ping’an grits his teeth and perseveres; since a three-day redemption was promised, then let the lamp burn till the last moment.
Lu Ping’an raised his head calmly, but looked even further into the distance.
Perhaps, that place holds the possibility of redemption....
"Let’s first deal with the current situation."
The courtyard, the Silver City, is still constantly expanding.
And sometimes, mere existence is a crime.
The evil dragon in the sky attacked again, and this time, the blaze that had added some unknown ingredients easily tore through the protection of space.
Simultaneously, the spies lurking inside are also fulfilling their duties.
Where Lu Ping’an’s gaze fell, his "children" also began to take action.
As Forbidden Guards, Zhi Xi held her ground, while the "Hunting-dogs" began their efficient slaughter.
Little Flame and Hua Xueyi took to the skies again, as the air combat weakness needed these elite units to make up for it.
Even in the baskets cast out by the Flying Dragon, there were elite units...
"Divine Species?"
This time, Lu Ping’an noticed the powerful presence mixed in among the boarders.
Eve and Fei’er activated instantly, and they would act as Executors and conduct the hunt.
The city walls and surrounding areas were filled with explosions and fireworks; easily taking away "soldiers," how is that possible?
However, this still is not the greatest threat.
Lu Ping’an bowed his head and looked down.
On each of the slowly rising mounds, a gigantic Divine Species was climbing.
Just by sight, Lu Ping’an felt as if his pupils were burning like flames.
How strong? Strong enough that Lu Ping’an cannot determine.
This might be the most troublesome opponent along the way here.
He, was getting closer and closer.
At this moment, on the city wall, the strongest figure of Lu Ping’an’s forces slowly stepped out.
The god body that refused to be shown in the past appeared again, half-beast, half-human, transforming into a dazzling "Holy Image."
This time, watching the woman who quietly turned back, Lu Ping’an felt rare unease and hesitation.
"Don’t die."
"I won’t."
She released her grip on the city wall and slowly descended.
This time, she re-entered the battlefield, but unlike before, this time it was for others...
"... Walk with me." Lu Ping’an’s voice brimmed with uncommon uncertainty and unease.
"I’ll always be with you." The woman’s voice was calm yet firm.
In the next moment, the Giant Beast and the giant God engaged in a fierce battle.
Amidst beast-like roars, there nonetheless was a touch of tenderness, a hint of humanity...
