Chapter 464 -207 The Aura of Catastrophe_2

“Thank you, Emperor, for bestowing upon me this pantheon seat!”

“The ferocious beast will surely live up to the Emperor’s grace and forever suppress the 18 Levels of Hell for the Emperor!”

Feeling the feedback of the Incense Offering Divinity Path, the will of the Hell Suppressing Beast had now merged with the pantheon seat, signifying its complete allegiance to Shen Yuan, which prompted him to nod approvingly.

With this, Shen Yuan needn’t worry about the Hell Suppressing Beast rebelling.

Even if he could exert the power of the Immortal Realm within the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, as soon as it stepped into the Divinity Path ranking within the Netherworld, Shen Yuan could suppress it with a mere thought.

Transforming a hidden trouble into an aid, Shen Yuan felt quite content.

However, Shen Yuan was well aware that the Hell Suppressing Beast was just a minor detail; his true purpose had always been the Nifty Pagoda spirit bound by an ancient covenant.

With this thought, the incorporeal persona of Emperor Fengdu faded from Shen Yuan, restoring him to a state clad in white robes, as he gently asked the Hell Suppressing Beast,

“In these ten thousand years, has anyone visited the core location?”

Upon hearing this, the Hell Suppressing Beast immediately stood up straight, its expression serious as it said,

“I have carefully obeyed the Emperor’s decree, and I have been suppressing this place for ten thousand years. Since the Ingenious Tiny World, you are the first person to step into this place.”

As it spoke, the ferocious beast raised its paw and a golden portal appeared in the void; this was the gateway leading to the core location of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, the very thing it had been charged to guard.

Compared to ten thousand years ago, the glow upon this portal had dimmed significantly.

The ferocious beast respectfully began to explain,

“Since the treasure pagoda evolved into the 18 Levels of Hell, the pagoda spirit seems to have undergone some unique transformation.

The countless sins and malice accumulated in the 18 Levels of Hell have affected the pagoda spirit to a certain degree—please be cautious, Emperor.”

Shen Yuan nodded and stepped into the final portal.

Ten thousand years ago, Shen Yuan had personally visited the core location of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, witnessing a world constantly evolving by the Primal Chaos Energy.

Every blade of grass and each river and mountain was transformed by the Primal Chaos Energy, undergoing cycles of destruction and creation, from which Shen Yuan greatly benefited.

But as Shen Yuan stepped into the core location for the second time, the scene that unfolded before him caused him to momentarily pause in astonishment.

The once magnificent world constructed by the Primal Chaos Energy had collapsed, and countless strands of Primal Chaos Energy scattered into the pitch-black void, aimlessly drifting without any of the profound mysteries that once shaped the world.

Chaos had replaced order, and amidst the turbulent flows of endless Primal Chaos Energy, only a desolate piece of land remained as a speck of pureness.

Atop this barren land, Shen Yuan saw a constantly shifting human silhouette, at the center of which was a vastly shrunken Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda.

He was the center of this void, the ultimate destination of the Primal Chaos Energy.

Shen Yuan instantly knew that this blurry human silhouette was the pagoda spirit with whom he had made the covenant of ten thousand years.

Stepping onto the desolate land, Shen Yuan saw before him the pagoda spirit, sometimes transforming into an evil spirit with its tongue ripped out, other times into dismembered remains scattered into countless pieces…

Its body seemed to be continuously experiencing, reliving everything within the 18 Levels of Hell, with a sinister aura slowly emanating from it.

Sensing Shen Yuan’s presence in this place, the pagoda spirit’s downturned head finally began to slowly lift, and those eyes—filled with anger, hatred, and sorrow—looked at Shen Yuan and softly said,

“You’re here.”

In his unremarkable words, there was a hint of a relieved sigh.

“You’ve fulfilled your promise. After the trial in the Ingenious Tiny World, I indeed gained ten thousand years of freedom, no longer controlled by the Great Divine Immortal Minghao.

So, after these ten thousand years, I can follow your orders and be at your beck and call.”

The pagoda spirit’s candid attitude took Shen Yuan by surprise.

Shen Yuan was naturally aware that the covenant made with the pagoda spirit ten thousand years ago was made with a hint of deceit.

He knew that the Great Schism would arrive in a few decades, and it was with this foreknowledge that he had set the covenant with the pagoda spirit; in reality, he needn’t do anything, as simply allowing time to pass would fulfill the agreement.

Shen Yuan had initially used the Gods Purging Divine Power to bind the Primal Chaos Realm with an oath, to prevent the pagoda spirit from realizing the underlying reason and becoming resentful, thus breaking the covenant.

But now, it seemed the pagoda spirit had no such thoughts.

The pagoda spirit didn’t dwell on Shen Yuan’s psychological changes but, instead, looked at Shen Yuan with interest and asked,

“I have ascended to a Half-Step Boundary Opening Treasure, and although the spirit essence has been damaged due to the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge, as long as the great tide of Spirit Energy returns to heaven and earth, and the lacking Primal Chaos Energy is replenished, I will be able to exert the might of a Half-Step Boundary Opening Treasure.

“This may be extremely difficult for others, but for you, it is quite easy. After all, just beyond the Primal Chaos Realm lies an unimaginable vast amount of Primal Chaos Energy, which you could easily collect with your abilities by simply leaving the Primal Chaos Realm.”

“What will you do?”

“Will you take me away from the Primal Chaos Realm to complete the Half-Step Boundary Opening Treasure?

Or will you simply use my battered body to help you suppress the enemies of this realm?”

The Nifty Pagoda spirit seemed quite curious about Shen Yuan’s choice.

However, Shen Yuan just shook his head and solemnly said,

“I will not take you away.”

“If I were to take you away, I would merely have an additional treasure to defend against enemies. While it might be of some value to me, it would be of no benefit to the entire Primal Chaos Realm.

But having you remain in the Netherworld to continue evolving the 18 Levels of Hell and maintaining the order of the Netherworld, that is truly where you belong.”

The Nifty Pagoda spirit was stunned; he had not expected Shen Yuan to give up a Half-Step Boundary Opening Treasure, willing to have it remain in the Netherworld.

The Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda was a creation of the Primal Chaos Realm, with the Nifty Pagoda spirit evolving the 18 Levels of Hell and nourishing the Primal Chaos Realm, a heavy responsibility inherent to its nature.

On the other hand, Shen Yuan had no such obligations, yet he was willing to forgo the temptation of a Half-Step Boundary Opening Treasure, which his Nifty Pagoda spirit’s simple Spiritual Wisdom found hard to understand.

Shen Yuan’s reaction made him reveal a slight smile.

This decision had been made before he entered the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, seemingly inconceivable, but when one considered Shen Yuan’s identity, it wasn’t hard to accept.

As the Emperor of Fengdu who governs the Netherworld, he had control over everything within.

Leaving the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda in the Netherworld to continue evolving the 18 Levels of Hell was still within Shen Yuan’s control, the only difference being that he couldn’t use the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda at will.

For Shen Yuan, having acquired the Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman Divine Power and Emperor Fengdu’s incorporeal persona, his current offensive abilities were already sufficient, and having another incomplete Half-Step Boundary Opening Treasure wasn’t particularly beneficial.

On the contrary, allowing the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda to evolve the 18 Levels of Hell, not only could it stabilize the Netherworld’s order, but it could also enable the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda to transform further.

In the future, if the Netherworld were to expand, devouring more authority from the kingdom of Hell, it’s entirely possible that the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda could evolve a true 18 Levels of Hell and transform into a Boundary Opening Treasure.

Although this goal was distant, it wasn’t impossible to achieve.

At least for Shen Yuan as he is now, the value of keeping the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda to stabilize the Netherworld far outweighed having an additional protective treasure.

Only after confirming repeatedly that Shen Yuan was not joking did the Nifty Pagoda spirit finally relax, a smile appearing on his fluctuating and vague face.

He too wished to nourish the Primal Chaos Realm and to further transform into a true Boundary Opening Treasure, opportunities available only by remaining in the Netherworld.

If Shen Yuan made this choice, it would align perfectly with his own desires.

Both the man and the pagoda received satisfying outcomes.

Shen Yuan’s gaze fell upon the Nifty Pagoda spirit’s continually changing form as he asked with a slight frown,

“What’s the reason for this current form of yours?”

The Nifty Pagoda spirit looked at himself and said with a touch of helplessness,

“I am currently in the midst of transformation. With countless Hell evil spirits from the 18 Levels of Hell, even I cannot completely avoid being influenced by their long-standing corruption, leaving traces in each level.

Had it been solely that, it would have been fine; at most, my form would have taken on the appearance of an evil spirit, which wouldn’t affect me.

But in addition, as the number of souls entering Hell continues to grow, I have gradually noticed that some carry a slight and elusive strange aura, which even affects my transformation.”

While speaking, the Nifty Pagoda spirit extended its right hand, a ghostly claw wrapped in a chilling aura.

Shen Yuan’s mind exploded. His gaze was fixed on that ephemeral aura, his face filled with an unprecedented solemnity.

He recognized that aura!

Within the Sun Star suspended above all the worlds, upon a carcass on the shattered star’s surface that thousands of years had failed to incinerate, Shen Yuan had felt an aura just like the one the Nifty Pagoda spirit held.

This aura surely wasn’t born of the Primal Chaos Realm.

It was related to the great calamity that swept through the Upper World!
