"Indeed, the Underworld has rebelled." Heaven-Howling Dog spoke in a deep voice.

Just now, Black and White Impermanence disclosed the entire situation, and as Chen Lan had surmised, the Underworld really had rebelled.

The Meng Po Soup was indeed altered, modified to awaken randomly. Especially for people of higher realms, they might never awaken in this lifetime, possibly living as ordinary, unnoticed people.

The Yin Lord, the ruler of the Underworld, left with Meng Po, the Ten Yamas, Oxhead and Horseface, and many ghost cultivators.

And Black and White Impermanence, being part of the rebellion, naturally couldn't defeat the Yin Lord, who crushed and brainwashed them, planted soul parasites, and sent them to the Ghost Realm as administrators.

The random capturing of people in the Ghost Realm was also their doing. They've been in the Ghost Realm for tens of thousands of years. Since time flows differently and as the number of ghosts increases, if the balance between yin and yang is disturbed, the Ghost Realm will collapse, hence they came up with this random capturing method.

This method could be implemented thanks to a magical treasure, the Gate of Space, an innate supreme treasure that can randomly or specifically open space tunnels. They then use ghost qi to suck humans in to maintain yin-yang balance and prevent the Ghost Realm from collapsing.

"Do you know who controls you?" Chen Lan asked.

The soul parasites can't directly eliminate the person behind but can severely injure them. Both Black and White Impermanence would undoubtedly be furious now, wishing to kill him immediately.

"Yes, the Dao Celestial Sect, the closed-door disciple of the Great Emperor of the Spiritual Path, Black and White Fiends." Black Impermanence nodded.

Although their souls are controlled, those two don't control them often, only occasionally. Even when controlled, their consciousness remains clear, able to hear the dialogue between those two.

Over the tens of thousands of years, they have long known who they are.

"Dao Celestial Sect." Chen Lan repeated the name, pondering.

He could ask Master Qingxuan and the others to see if they are from the Cyan Heaven Immortal Realm.

If not, it would mean there's another higher and stronger world, and this world is very powerful, able to control the Cyan Heaven Immortal Realm, Profound Dust Realm, the current Blue Star, and other worlds simultaneously.

But this control seems pathological because that world doesn't seem to value the lives of creatures from other worlds, rather treating them as pets, or more accurately, raising them like livestock. In their eyes, creatures from other worlds are just beasts.

They don't care if they live or die, letting them fend for themselves, occasionally throwing them natural and man-made disasters, or sometimes benefits, playing with them in the palm of their hand.

Damn it, one day he will kill all these people.

Chen Lan deeply engraved the names Dao Celestial Sect and Black and White Fiends in his mind.

"Do you know what this magical treasure is?" Chen Lan took out a mirror he got from the Ghost Realm, a small, exquisite mirror floating in his palm.

Both Black and White Impermanence and Heaven-Howling Dog looked over and frowned.

After a long while, Black and White Impermanence both shook their heads: "No, we've never seen it before. Is this a magical treasure from the Ghost Realm?"

"I haven't seen it either; it looks ordinary."

Chen Lan nodded, "It was obtained from the Ghost Realm."

His eyes showed some disappointment; why does no one know what this mirror is? Could it not belong to the Ghost Realm and Profound Dust Realm?

Is it from the Cyan Heaven Immortal Realm or that world?

"Great Emperor, may we rest in this sect?" Black Impermanence cautiously asked.

"As you wish." Chen Lan replied indifferently.

"Thank you, Great Emperor!" Both ghosts clasped their fists in thanks, transformed, turning into two completely different human forms.

Especially Black Impermanence, who turned into a slender-faced young scholar, about six feet tall, with an elegant temperament, gently fanning himself with a fan, smiling, with an appearance many girls adore.

White Impermanence, on the other hand, turned into a muscular hunk, wearing a tank top and shorts, with fierce, intimidating expressions, looking like a fiend, not a good person.

The contrast between these two ghosts was quite pronounced.

One short became tall, the slender became muscular.

"Then, we'll take our leave." They said in unison and left together, finding an empty room in the Xiao Yao sect to reside in.

Heaven-Howling Dog left with them, maybe the two ghosts and one dog still had many things to discuss.

Chen Lan looked thoughtfully at the mirror in his hand, wondering who that man really was.

...

Time flies, four more days passed.

The members of the Xiao Yao sect, unknowingly to the outside world, stayed continuously in the Ghost Realm, where one day outside is approximately four years in the Ghost Realm, meaning four days equate to sixteen years there!

Their strength greatly increased, but as the realm gets higher, the time required becomes more, also depending on talent and constitution.

Especially for Peng Dahai and others, their cultivation time passed in the blink of an eye, and decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years went by as if just yesterday.

In sixteen years, their cultivation could only be said to improve a bit; their realms were too high, without the aid of divine elixirs, relying solely on cultivation techniques would take thousands to tens of thousands of years to break through a realm.

However, those with lower realms, like the Golden Core or Nascent Soul, could make significant strides, having widened the gap significantly with the outside world.

Take Luo Tao, he had broken through from the Nascent Soul to the current Ascension Perfection, with personal guidance from Emperor Luo Tianlong, progressing much faster than others, as his talent was not lacking.

Gu Ying and Yan Yu both reached the Human Immortal stage; their talents were also notable, breaking through to Human Immortal in just sixteen years with various divine elixirs, making them prominent figures.

Everyone gained something, and the outside world ushered in new changes too.

...

Huaxia.

[Mid-level sects materialize, Blue Star expands fivefold in size]

[In a month, all remaining sects will materialize, and the game will integrate further with reality]

The Voice of Hongmeng sounded, mid-level sects arrived, but the last sentence left people puzzled.

"What does further integration mean? Is another world about to collide with us?"

"No way, Mars crashing into Blue Star perhaps, if so, the expanded area will grow by tens of times."

"Sigh, it's getting harder, new sects are coming again."

"Hmph, no matter how many sects come, it's useless, the Xiao Yao sect is now a flourishing large sect, no one can suppress it."

Some people listened to the Voice of Hongmeng with concern, wondering if the incoming sects would look down on the local peoples as before.

And what realm is the Sect Leader of the new sect? If it comes to war, it might not be advantageous.

Before people could react, the world changed dramatically, the ground trembling violently, descending golden light from the sky.

Blue Star expanded, and mid-level sects materialized!
