115: Chapter 115 introduces nine new races; the deduction begins.

She stepped into the Blood Sea Realm.

The Blood Ancestor rose from the sea of blood; he was a colossal existence condensed from countless blood droplets, over thirty zhang tall, his body covered in blood-red runes. His aura was at the high stage of the Sixth Rank.

He looked down at Meng Po, his blood-red eyes full of contempt.

"An old woman? Are you all out of people?"

Meng Po did not answer.

She simply tilted the bowl in her hand slightly, and the Meng Po Soup within turned into countless tiny droplets, scattering into the air of the Blood Sea Realm.

Those droplets fell onto the bodies of the Blood Race, onto the surface of the blood sea, and onto the body of the Blood Ancestor.

Every member of the Blood Race touched by a droplet suddenly stiffened.

Because those droplets contained the power of the River of Oblivion, the memories of countless lost souls, and the Power of Oblivion that Meng Po had brewed for countless eons.

The memories of the Blood Race began to dissipate.

They forgot who they were, where they came from, their Blood Magic, and their Undying Curse.

The Blood Ancestor felt his memories slipping away. He desperately mobilized the power of the blood sea, trying to resist that Power of Oblivion, but the power of the Meng Po Soup was too strong.

It was the obsession of countless lost souls, the sediment of the River of Oblivion for a thousand years, and the accumulation of Meng Po's countless eons.

The Blood Ancestor let out a desperate roar as his body began to disintegrate. The surface of the blood sea began to recede, and the number of the Blood Race began to dwindle.

The Blood Ancestor fell.

The Blood Sea Realm was collapsing.

Three hours.

From the moment Su Bai said 'Open' to the collapse of the last world, exactly three hours had passed.

Nine worlds, nine civilizations, nine wars.

Starting simultaneously, ending simultaneously.

The boundaries of the Netherworld World were expanding frantically.

The dark-golden land of the Dragon Blood Realm merged into the edge of the Netherworld World, transforming into a new Dragon Blood Wasteland.

The pale-white bone land of the Bone Realm merged into the edge of the Netherworld World, transforming into a White Bone Wilderness.

The golden city of the Golden Realm merged into the edge of the Netherworld World, transforming into a Golden Ruins.

The emerald-green forest of the Emerald Realm merged into the edge of the Netherworld World, transforming into an Emerald Jungle.

The dark territory of the Gloom Realm merged into the edge of the Netherworld World, transforming into a Gloomy Swamp.

The bluish-gray sky of the Storm Realm merged into the sky above the Netherworld World, transforming into a layer of storm clouds.

The underground caves of the Deep Rock Realm merged into the subterranean depths of the Netherworld World, transforming into Deep Rock Caves.

The dark-red ash of the Ashen Realm merged into the edge of the Netherworld World, transforming into an Ash Scorched Earth.

The scarlet blood sea of the Blood Sea Realm merged into the edge of the Netherworld World, transforming into a Blood Sea Abyss.

Nine worlds, nine lands, nine colors—all were swallowed, assimilated, and merged by the grayish-white Yin Qi.

The diameter of the Netherworld World skyrocketed from 2,450 kilometers to 4,300 kilometers.

[Netherworld World expansion complete]

[Current world diameter: 4,300 kilometers (approximately 58 million square kilometers)]

[New terrain: Dragon Blood Wasteland, White Bone Wilderness, Golden Ruins, Emerald Jungle, Gloomy Swamp, storm clouds, Deep Rock Caves, Ash Scorched Earth, Blood Sea Abyss]

Su Bai stood at the world core, watching the expanding land, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

Before him, the numbers for Power Of Faith were jumping frantically.

[Devouring of Ashen Realm complete: Obtained 15,230 Power Of Faith points]

[Devouring of Deep Rock Realm complete: Obtained 14,890 Power Of Faith points]

[Devouring of Storm Realm complete: Obtained 15,120 Power Of Faith points]

[Devouring of Gloom Realm complete: Obtained 16,230 Power Of Faith points]

[Devouring of Blood Sea Realm complete: Obtained 14,780 Power Of Faith points]

[Devouring of Golden Realm complete: Obtained 18,900 Power Of Faith points]

[Devouring of Emerald Realm complete: Obtained 17,560 Power Of Faith points]

[Devouring of Bone Realm complete: Obtained 16,890 Power Of Faith points]

[Devouring of Dragon Blood Realm complete: Obtained 20,100 Power Of Faith points]

[Total Power Of Faith obtained: 149,700 points]

[Current Power Of Faith: 217,811 points]

217,811 points of Power Of Faith.

Su Bai looked at that number and took a deep breath.

He had never possessed so much Power Of Faith.

But he was in no hurry to use this huge sum.

His gaze fell upon the captured races.

Nine worlds, nine major races; Su Bai had left about half of each race in every world as captives.

Approximately 900,000 Ash Elves from the Ashen Realm. Approximately 1.1 million Troglodytes from the Deep Rock Realm. Approximately 750,000 Wind Spirits from the Storm Realm. Approximately 1 million Shadow Walkers from the Gloom Realm. Approximately 650,000 members of the Blood Race from the Blood Sea Realm. Approximately 450,000 Golden Giants from the Golden Realm. Approximately 1.5 million Treants from the Emerald Realm. Approximately 1.25 million Skeleton Warriors from the Bone Realm. Approximately 400,000 Dragon-Blood Orcs from the Dragon Blood Realm.

A total of about eight million captives.

Eight million beings from different worlds, different civilizations, and different races were held at the edge of the Netherworld World, awaiting the judgment of fate.

Su Bai looked at those captives and remained silent for a long time.

He was thinking.

The Living World of the Netherworld currently has six major races: Mushroom People, Shadow Demons, Ice Crystals, Naga, Humans, and Rakshasa. Six races, six roles, having already formed a relatively balanced symbiotic system.

If all nine of these major races were thrown into the Living World, what would happen?

The fire element attribute of the Ash Elves is naturally opposed to the extreme cold attribute of the Ice Crystals. The flight ability of the Storm Wind Spirits might conflict with the Shadow Demons' Space Folding ability. The blood-sucking habits of the Blood Race directly conflict with the safety of Humans and Rakshasa. The metallic bodies of the Golden Giants might produce unknown chemical reactions with the Mushroom People's Spore Domain. Can the life power of the Treants coexist with the death attribute of the Yin Qi World? Will the stealth ability of the Shadow Walkers threaten the order of the Netherworld Church? The undead attribute of the Skeleton Warriors is highly compatible with the Yin Qi of the Netherworld World, but will their existence affect the faith of other races?

Eight million people, nine civilizations, nine powers.

If handled well, the Living World will become more rich and colorful. If not handled well, the Living World will fall into endless warfare.

Su Bai needed to know the answer.

Without hesitation, his consciousness sank into the world core.

[Operable: Time Flow Rate Adjustment (Living World)]

[Current Power Of Faith: 217,811 points]

[Adjustment Target: The entire Living World (including the nine newly added lands and eight million captives)]

[Power Of Faith consumption: 10,000 points]

[Duration: One thousand years]

[Confirm?]

Su Bai clicked confirm.

The grayish-white Yin Qi descended like a curtain, enveloping the entire Living World.

The original six major races and the nine newly added races, totaling over thirteen million units, were all enveloped by that curtain.

Time began to accelerate.

Su Bai sat cross-legged at the world core, closed his eyes, and sank his consciousness into the Living World that was undergoing accelerated deduction.

He wanted to witness with his own eyes what would happen in these thousand years.

After the nine major races joined, what kind of collisions could occur with the original six major races.

Whether a new civilization could be born, a new order could be established, and a new balance could be formed.

Whether the Living World of the Netherworld could carry so many different races, different civilizations, and different faiths.

He waited.

Beneath the curtain, the fates of thirteen million beings were accelerating.
