The boundless Chaos Void, where the flames of war have temporarily subsided.

Broken stars, floating corpses, and the still turbulent energy, silently narrate the brutality of the recent battle.

The expeditionary army of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty is currently resting in this blood-soaked Star Domain.

Massive War Tower Ships hover in the void like dormant beasts, their hulls covered with battle scars and undried Divine Blood.

Though the victory was secured, the Immortal Dynasty has paid dearly, needing time to lick its wounds and recover its Primordial Qi.

Now, with the Seven Sins Divine Country coalition defeated and surrounding Evil God forces intimidated, not daring to invade again for the time being, the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty has won itself precious breathing space.

While the external army is resting, deep within the Immortal Domain Palace, Gu Qingfeng's mind has already sunk into the depths of his consciousness, within the Underworld he governs, which is continuously evolving and perfecting.

The present Underworld, compared to the last time he closely observed it, has undergone earth-shattering changes in size and majesty.

Initially just when it was forming, the Underworld's power level might barely suppress the Eight Tribulation Venerable.

Now, in Gu Qingfeng's perception, this Underworld has solidified and grown enough to directly rival the level of an ordinary Nine Tribulation Heavenly Venerable, with its Netherworld Path more complete.

The root of such rapid development in such a short time lies in Gu Qingfeng's relentless crusade and slaughter against the Evil God Clan.

Every war saw a vast number of Evil Gods falling.

Their fates mainly fell into two categories.

Some Evil Gods' Divine Souls were directly devoured by the Yellow Springs River, becoming nourishment for the Yellow Springs.

Another portion, especially those with profound sins, were directly cast into the Underworld by Gu Qingfeng to endure Hell's punishment, their sins and Soul Power absorbed during punishment, forming the foundation and resources for growth.

Although the sins of a single low-level Evil God may not amount to much, their sheer numbers are overwhelming!

As the saying goes, from a small accumulation to a vast amount, grains of sand form a tower!

Gu Qingfeng's current crusade against the Evil Gods is immense.

Therefore, the steady growth of the Underworld naturally comes to fruition.

Scanning across the Underworld, one can see orderliness, having initially formed a complete governance system.

The number of Ghost Soldiers has exceeded one billion!

Those at the Ghost General level have reached the millions!

The Wuchang Yin Cha responsible for collecting souls and judging good and evil number in the thousands.

The higher tier of the Four Great Judges and the Twelve Yin Marshals are now all in place!

However.

At the pinnacle of the Underworld's power, representing the supreme judgment and ruling authority of the Ten Halls Yama, to this day, only King Qinguang of the First Hall exists.

The positions for the other nine halls remain unfilled.

This does not reflect a lack of Underworld power, but rather that the position of the Ten Halls Yama is of utmost importance, key to the life and distribution of the authority of the Great Tao within the entire Underworld.

To ascend as Yama, to rule a hall, is something generally beyond the reach of ordinary individuals.

Currently, although Gu Qingfeng usually does not directly intervene in specific Underworld affairs, allowing its self-evolving development, he is always secretly observing changes within and the standout Yin Gods.

Among the many Yin Cha, Judges, and even the Yin Marshals, he has indeed identified some with potential that may be eligible for future contention for the Yama position.

Yet this matter is of great importance and requires careful study and prudent decision-making.

The Yama position, rather vacant than imprudent allocation.

"The Underworld is now comparable to a Nine Tribulation Heavenly Venerable, strong enough as a foundation and aid, but still has a long way to go to truly step into the Immortal Level and become a force that can influence supreme combat power!" Gu

Qingfeng muses internally, recognizing this clearly.

However, he is not in a hurry.

Currently, the Underworld is in a golden period of steady elevation; as long as the crusade against Evil Gods continues to provide nourishment, and with adequate time for accumulation and evolution, ascending to the Immortal tier in the future seems entirely feasible to him.

Of course.

If speaking of matching the full-glory state of the Old Underworld, the gap would be more than just slight.

After all, at its peak, the Old Underworld had numerous Immortal tier beings within.

Beyond the mysterious Lord of Mount Tai and the Ten Halls Yama, Gu Qingfeng suspects the existence of other unknown Immortal Yin Gods in the Old Underworld.

Such power, in today's era, is astonishingly extreme.

It's known that the current Evil God Clan openly has only thirteen Immortal God Masters stationed.

On the Human Clan side, including Emperor Ziwei, known Immortals count only about nine.

It shows how terrifyingly rich the heritage of the Old Underworld at its peak was.

The Underworld now, though growing rapidly, requires astronomical time for accumulation to develop to the glorious and thriving level of the Old Underworld, not something that can be achieved overnight.

Unless—

The Underworld gets the opportunity to devour a few true Immortal souls, converting the sins accumulated over countless epochs by Immortal Heavenly Venerates into ultimate resources for its elevation!

Such an opportunity would bring about a qualitative leap in the Underworld's growth, potentially saving billions of years of accumulation time, leaping across several tiers.
