MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 620 - 108: Rootless in the Netherworld (End)

Lu Hong bitterly smirked, "And why would I, if I still had a fallback plan, be hiding here?"

"Just because you’re here doesn’t mean you’re powerless. The Soul Water has taken control of a multitude of beings from the Star Sea, so where are they now?"

Mo Lun’s words sparked a fierce glint in Lu Hong’s eyes, giving rise to a desire to eliminate his counterpart, particularly as the bulk of a priest’s power stemmed from the faith of followers. Now, with the Netherworld God wounded, Mo Lun’s strength had inevitably diminished.

"Do you want to kill me?" Mo Lun discerned the murderous intent in his eyes and countered with a slight smile, "Killing me wouldn’t benefit you in any way."

Mo Lun was right; killing him would bring no advantage to himself.

However, Lu Hong said solemnly, "You know too much; I can’t afford to have flaws in my plan."

"Isn’t it already full of flaws?" Mo Lun sneered, "I came here only to advise you not to persist in your errors."

"Ha."

Seeing that Lu Hong paid no heed to his words, Mo Lun spoke up, "You’ve been secretly instigating chaos in the Star Sea to hasten the awakening of the Netherworld God. All of Salron’s actions have almost always involved you, haven’t they?"

Lu Hong acted as if he hadn’t heard a thing, but Mo Lun continued, "Of course, reviving the Netherworld God isn’t your ultimate goal, is it? You’ve been searching for a millennia, planning to use the split Divine Soul of the Netherworld God to replace its original personality, right?"

"So what if I am?"

"But I can’t see what benefit this would bring you. Even if it’s not the original personality governing the will of the Netherworld God, it still wouldn’t be within your control."

"Since ancient times, besides the Netherworld God, there have only been five Heavenly Gods. Have you ever considered why there cannot be a sixth Heavenly God in the Netherworld?" Lu Hong countered Mo Lun, "Have you ever thought that to become a Heavenly God in the Netherworld, one must be recognized by the Netherworld God?"

Hearing this, Mo Lun’s expression subtly changed—he truly hadn’t known that.

"You want the Netherworld God to officially acknowledge you, to make you a true Heavenly God?"

"Ha!" Lu Hong smiled faintly, "If that were all, why would I go to such lengths? By fulfilling my duties, I would naturally gain the approval of the Netherworld God and be honored as a deity."

"I understand," Mo Lun nodded, "So you truly intend to replace the Netherworld God and take control of the Netherworld!"

"Exactly!" No longer concealing his intentions, Lu Hong declared, "During the years of the Netherworld God’s slumber, I governed the Netherworld’s policies strictly, bringing blessings for a myriad of years. Do you know what I discovered amid these blessed years?"

Without waiting for Mo Lun to inquire, Lu Hong revealed the secrets he held deep within, "I discovered the Heart of the Netherworld."

"That is the will of the Netherworld Continent, which allowed me to perceive the true existence of the Netherworld God!"

The Netherworld God possessed absolute dominion over the Netherworld, and this supreme power was actually supported and affirmed by the Heart of the Netherworld Continent.

If the Heart of the Netherworld no longer recognized the Netherworld God’s position and favored Lu Hong instead, then Lu Hong might very well become the new Netherworld God and rule over a realm within a short time.

After Lu Hong’s explanation, Mo Lun finally understood why he had continuously incited strife between the Netherworld and other powers. Only in facing a disaster that could obliterate it would the Heart of the Netherworld see the current Netherworld God’s incompetence, then bestow its grace upon someone else. And for years tirelessly dedicated to the Netherworld, Lu Hong would naturally be the first choice.

"So that was your plan." Mo Lun couldn’t help but remark, "But if you become the Netherworld God, how will the shattered Netherworld Continent be restored?"

"The people controlled by the Soul Water will ignite the enemy’s rear, causing the allied forces to retreat, thus preserving the Netherworld. I’ll then reawaken the River of the Netherworld, and a million years from now, when the Netherworld reaches its zenith again, I am destined to rule the entire world!"

It was undeniable; Lu Hong’s ambitions were vast. Not only was he secretly undermining the Netherworld God, he had even planned for millions of years into the future.

Mo Lun couldn’t help but admire the man before him, and said, "Now that I am aware of your plan, am I unable to leave this estate?"

Facing the question, Lu Hong gently shook his head, "I won’t kill you, nor will I trap you here. If you want to leave, you may. But I hope you won’t disrupt my plans. Once I become the Netherworld God, you will be my most capable assistant, helping me govern and develop the Netherworld into a powerful realm. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?"

As Lu Hong extended an olive branch, Mo Lun hesitated, but did not outright refuse. He then replied, "Just like before, I won’t interfere with your plans. Since I have nowhere else to go right now, I might as well stay here for the time being."

Lu Hong watched Mo Lund closely, trying to discern his true thoughts, and after a long while agreed, "Suit yourself, stay as long as you like."

The decisive battle between the Netherworld God and the Ancestor Dragon had lasted nearly a month and a half. Despite the vast and boundless Netherworld Continent, it was starting to fracture under the brutal onslaught of these two Heavenly Gods.

A colossal rift appeared from the southeast, spanning the entire continent and splitting the Netherworld in two.

As Lu Hong said, the power of the Netherworld God came from the will of the entire continent. As the land sustained damage, the power of the Netherworld God was severely restricted, making it increasingly difficult to combat the Ancestor Dragon.

The Dragon seized this opportunity, counterattacking the Netherworld God and relentlessly pursuing her.

Regrettably, with the limited time remaining, the Dragon could not ensure the defeat of the Netherworld God, and could only inflict severe injuries before returning to the Realm of Divine Favor with Lu Hong.

Severely wounded, the Netherworld God watched the Ancestor Dragon’s departing silhouette filled with resentment, yet powerless to act.

Her strength had greatly diminished, and even the lowliest creatures in the star domain now had the ability to kill her, which forced the Netherworld God to hide, waiting to recover her strength before making further plans.

The Star Sea allied forces, in cooperation with countless powerful demon beasts, had achieved rich battle results, destroying 80% of the Netherworld’s main force. After the Ancestor Dragon withdrew, they too returned. After all, nobody wanted to stay in the barren lands of the Netherworld.

Thus, the war between the Star Sea and the Netherworld ended with a complete victory for the Star Sea. However, the price of victory was not small; almost half of the demon beasts brought by the Ancestor Dragon had died, and in the Axis of the World alone, not less than one hundred million of the Star Sea allied forces had died, drained of their life force.

But regardless, the allies were victorious, and for at least a century, the Netherworld would no longer be a threat.

The Ancestor Dragon returned to the top of the snow mountain and spat Lu Hong out of his belly.

Da Guangming raised his eyebrows, "He’s been poisoned!"

"Yes, with the Netherworld’s Three Corpse Divine Poison," the Ancestor Dragon said solemnly. "Do you have a way to detoxify him?"

Da Guangming shook his head, "The Three Corpse Divine Poison is a top-tier divine toxin. It’s nearly impossible to remove it by external means."

"What then? Are we to watch him be tortured to death by the poison?"

Da Guangming did not reply immediately but carefully examined Lu Hong’s current condition, thinking deeply before he spoke, "The fact that he has survived so far is entirely due to the Lion Heart bloodline within him suppressing the toxin. Unfortunately, his bloodline level is too low, and the backlash from this suppression will be even more dangerous, almost certainly fatal."

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me what to do!"

Da Guangming rolled his eyes irritably and then said, "Isn’t the method already mentioned? Raise the bloodline level. Find a way to enhance his bloodline level. So long as the Lion Heart bloodline level rises, the poison will naturally be suppressed by the bloodline and then be completely eradicated."

"How can his bloodline level be raised?"

"Who should I ask if you ask me?" Da Guangming pursed his lips. "You need to find the Lion Heart royal family for this."

Soon, Da Guangming arranged for his believers to bring Eferot.

After explaining the problem, Eferot also had no solution, as enhancing the Lion Heart bloodline relied heavily on esoteric methods.

Of course, one could not raise the bloodline level simply by sleeping; instead, it involved continuously participating in battles, growing and breaking through in combat.

Seeing Lu Hong’s unconscious state, battle was clearly impossible.

"What do we do now?"

The three of them stared at each other, at a loss, when suddenly Eferot thought of the Abyss of Extreme Demons.

Yes, the aura of the Abyss of Extreme Demons could help the Lion Heart bloodline grow automatically, and if Lu Hong could successfully enter the dream state, he might have a chance to advance his bloodline.

With this thought, Eferot hurriedly shared his idea.

Hearing about the Abyss of Extreme Demons, Da Guangming’s expression turned slightly strange, but he said nothing more.

With no time to delay, as the Three Corpse Divine Poison in Lu Hong’s body could erupt at any moment, the Ancestor Dragon took him to the Abyss of Extreme Demons.

As he gently laid Lu Hong down, the Ancestor Dragon looked up and stared at the sealed Abyss of Extreme Demons, sensing a familiar aura.

Unfortunately, he had little time to walk outside; otherwise, he would have truly liked to explore it himself.

"My brother is now in your hands. If anything goes wrong with him, be prepared for your demise!"

Knowing the Ancestor Dragon’s power, Eferot did not dare to contradict him, "Tukuru is also my brother, and I’ll do my utmost to save him."

Watching the Ancestor Dragon leave, Eferot slit his palm and let his blood drip into Lu Hong’s mouth, hoping to use the power of his own bloodline to alleviate Lu Hong’s pain.

Soon after, news that Lu Hong was in the Abyss of Extreme Demons spread, and Lando arrived with Anna. Both women were in tears.

Shortly after, Tai’e also rushed to the Abyss of Extreme Demons and, understanding Lu Hong’s current situation, chose the same approach as Eferot—cutting blood for feeding, hoping it would have some effect.

After handling political affairs, Konstantin and Nuoshan soon followed, coming to visit Lu Hong.

Danni sat beside Lu Hong, her expression sorrowful, her healing spell continuously active, yet sadly to no avail.

Because Tai’e, Konstantin, and Nuoshan were all at the Abyss of Extreme Demons, the Star Sea’s quadrilateral power negotiations were also arranged to be held outside the Abyss of Extreme Demons.

Since the Era of the Gods, the four major forces had truly united for the first time, and this union allowed them to see the future direction—they wanted not domination of the vast Star Sea, but peace.

The negotiations lasted for seven days and nights. During these seven days, a series of alliance treaties were drafted, marking the first time the Star Sea moved toward a major integration.
