MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 612 - 100: Rootless in the Netherworld (13)

To enter the grace of the Divine, the Great Bright Heavenly God exerted considerable effort, specifically summoning a Brahman from afar and affixing his Divine Soul upon it, barely managing to enter.

Unlike ordinary Heavenly Gods, the Great Bright Heavenly God was far too powerful, and although it wasn’t impossible for him to suppress his strength to the level of a Demigod to enter, the risk for him was simply too great.

Utilizing the Brahman’s body, the Great Bright Heavenly God hurried to the central part of Nansha Great Forest, to Great Snow Mountain.

At this moment, Great Snow Mountain had already transformed into a terrifying domain of death, where the dreadful oppressive aura made all living creatures tremble, and the pure white snow was completely stained crimson.

The Great Bright Heavenly God’s brow furrowed slightly. What had happened that had caused the Ancestor Dragon such rage?

Walking on the snow path that led upwards, the suffocating pressure made the Great Bright Heavenly God very uncomfortable, the Brahman’s face contorted into a hideous expression.

Madness, Bloodthirst.

Two wills incessantly infiltrated his body, tormenting his mind and spirit.

The path to the mountain’s summit was long, and under such conditions, even with the Great Bright Heavenly God’s protection, it was impossible for the Brahman to safely reach the top.

"Enough!" the Divine Soul of the Great Bright Heavenly God roared in anger, as a golden halo rippled forth from within the Brahman, cleansing the mountain of its crimson hue.

As if provoked, a dragon’s roar resounded like a star falling, crashing heavily upon the Divine Soul of the Great Bright Heavenly God.

"I didn’t come to oppose you!" the Great Bright Heavenly God hastily shouted toward the mountain’s peak.

After a long while, the Ancestor Dragon responded, "Climb up here!"

As the surrounding will dissipated, the Brahman finally settled down and climbed with all his strength.

After exhausting half a day, he succeeded in reaching the summit of the snow mountain with the aid of the Great Bright Heavenly God.

By this time, the summit was already shattered, and the sky above, ruptured by the Ancestor Dragon’s fury, revealed a swath of nothingness.

"Why are you so enraged?" the Divine Soul of the Great Bright Heavenly God separated from the Brahman, standing before the Ancestor Dragon.

"My brother is dead!" the Ancestor Dragon’s eyes were blood-red, filled with a pervasive killing intent. "And I don’t even know how he died!"

"Your brother?!" the Great Bright Heavenly God was momentarily taken aback, the Ancestor Dragon had a brother?

"Is your brother a dragon?" the Great Bright Heavenly God tentatively asked.

"My brother was human!"

"A dragon like you, friends with a human?" the Great Bright Heavenly God found this joke unamusing. Not just anyone could climb this snow mountain, and given the temperament of the Ancestor Dragon, how could it possibly befriend a human?

"My brother is named Tu’kul." the Ancestor Dragon gently said with a claw, "I don’t care why you sought me out. Investigate clearly the cause of his death and bring me the murderer, and I shall grant your request."

"Tu’kul?" the Great Bright Heavenly God obviously had not heard this name before.

But the Brahman knew, oh yes. Upon hearing the three words ’Tu’kul,’ he was already in shock. Damn it, that kid was actually on brotherly terms with the Ancestor Dragon?

"That... that..." Stuttering, the Brahman raised his right hand, mimicking a primary school student wishing to speak up in class.

Under the gaze of the Ancestor Dragon and the Great Bright Heavenly God, the Brahman gathered his courage and said, "Regarding him, I... I know." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"You know?" The Ancestor Dragon immediately rebuked upon seeing the Brahman not seem to lie, "Then speak up! How did my brother die?"

"He’s not dead!"

"Not dead? Impossible. The Dragon Soul I left inside of him fragmented, if he were alive, my Dragon Soul wouldn’t simply dissipate!" Although the Brahman didn’t seem to be lying, the Ancestor Dragon still found it hard to believe.

"Don’t rush, let him explain slowly," the Great Bright Heavenly God soothed, signaling the Brahman to continue his story.

And so the Brahman divulged everything he knew.

When the Ancestor Dragon heard that Lu Hong had sacrificed himself to kill the Naga Queen, he realized that his own Dragon Soul, which had fallen into slumber, had fragmented and perished at that moment.

"Although Tu Kulu died at the time, he came back to life later."

"And where is he now?" the Ancestor Dragon asked in a deep voice.

"This..." the Brahmin shook his head: "In order to save the empire, it is said that Tu Kulu delved deep into the Netherworld Continent and has been out of contact ever since."

"So, you’re saying he’s very likely to be on the Netherworld Continent now?" the Ancestor Dragon’s expression turned icy as he addressed the Great Bright Heavenly God, "Find him for me, and I’ll agree to any request of yours."

"That’s not going to be easy!" the Great Bright Heavenly God chuckled bitterly, "I’ve just rescued a batch of Heavenly Gods from the Netherworld God, and if I go back now, I reckon the Netherworld God won’t let me off."

"Waste!" the Ancestor Dragon cursed in annoyance.

You see, the Great Bright Heavenly God really couldn’t retort to the Ancestor Dragon’s scolding. In the Ancestor Dragon’s prime, the Great Bright Heavenly God was as insignificant to him as a big ant—visible but easily crushed to death.

"Don’t rush me. If I can release you from here, and you go looking for him yourself, would that satisfy you?"

"Can you break the chains?" the Ancestor Dragon looked disdainfully at the Great Bright Heavenly God, "No offense, but if you could break it, I would’ve escaped on my own long ago."

"We still have to try, don’t we?" the Great Bright Heavenly God did not give up. Now, the only one in the entire Star Sea with the power to oppose the Netherworld God was the Ancestor Dragon.

"As you wish." Knowing that Lu Hong was still alive brightened the Ancestor Dragon’s mood quite a bit. Lying on the ground, he then told the Brahmin, "Find a way to locate my brother. There’s still something I’ve left in the Endless Forest that could aid you in resisting the Netherworld God. It might not defeat him but won’t be easily killed, either."

Hearing the Ancestor Dragon’s words, the Great Bright Heavenly God was somewhat intrigued, "A fallback plan? Which of your nine sons is hidden in the Endless Forest?"

"That’s none of your damn business. Don’t come bothering me if you can’t bring news of my brother!"

"Don’t be like that, I still want to help you break your shackles. Let me study them first."

The Ancestor Dragon ignored the Great Bright Heavenly God, while the Brahmin was sent down from Great Snow Mountain. He had to inform Konstantin of this intelligence; if they could just find Duke Shenwei, there would be hope against the Netherworld!

Upon receiving this information, the four-way talks were held once again.

However, all four leaders agreed to maintain the original content of the conference with Tai’e making an all-out breakthrough; they couldn’t pin their hopes on others. Most importantly, Lu Hong had vanished on the Netherworld Continent, a realm beyond their capacity to penetrate and explore. The odds of finding Lu Hong there were lower than winning the lottery.

But Nuoshan and Konstantin had not given up on the search for Lu Hong, continuously sending envoys into the Netherworld while also investigating in secret—to no avail.

Time flew by quickly, and nine months had already passed.

The Netherworld God’s power had largely recovered, and preparations for the war over the star domains were in their final stages.

The Netherworld God emerged from seclusion, summoning four rulers.

"Bodo, how is the military preparedness?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, eighty percent of the ten billion Netherworld army is ready. We only need three more months to be fully equipped."

"Another three months?" The Netherworld God’s gaze remained calm as it fell onto Bodo.

Bodo felt a tremor in his heart, but still forced out, "Yes, the resources of the Netherworld are not abundant. Arming such a tremendous army so hastily is bound to stretch us thin. I hope for Your Majesty’s understanding."

"Very well," the Netherworld God retracted his gaze and looked back at the crowd, "How are the preparations for the Star Sea’s submission ritual going? Have you reached an agreement with them?"

"Your Majesty, the negotiations are ongoing; they feel the conditions are somewhat harsh."

"What demands have you made?"

"Please review, Your Majesty." Prepared, the subordinate presented the document.

The Netherworld God skimmed it and found no issue, so he decreed, "Give them an ultimatum: within three months, they must come to my divine palace and swear their loyalty to me. Otherwise, when it’s time to conquer the star domains, I will attack them along with Star Sea!"

"Yes!" the subordinate nodded in agreement and then spoke, "Your Majesty, regarding the arrangements for the oath-taking ceremony... there is still some... hesitation from Lord Mo Lun."

"What hesitation?" the Netherworld God looked at the sacrificial priest Mo Lun, "Speak, Mo Lun."

"Your Majesty," Mo Lun took a step forward, knelt, and said, "According to the document, this oath-taking ceremony is of monumental significance, hence the required sacrificial items are exceedingly rare. I have dispatched people to search far and wide, and I believe we’ll soon have everything we need."

The Netherworld God was clueless about rituals, but he trusted Mo Lun greatly, not saying much more before finalizing, "In any case, when my Netherworld army sets out, if the forces of Star Sea have not made their move, then I will attack them all at once!"
