With the infusion of the laws and essence of the sky into the World Tree, everything seemed to undergo an incredible transformation in a short time, as if heaven and earth had turned upside down.
The entire underworld began to experience drastic changes.
And seeing this, Hades knew that everything was finally beginning.
"From now on, all I need to do is wait quietly."
Hades returned to the Pure Land of Bliss, waiting quietly was enough. As for everything else? For now, it didn't require much action from him and held little significance.
All that was needed was time for things to gradually develop, rather than him changing anything step by step. There was no urgency in that for now.
Hades' heart was calm and indifferent enough. As time passed bit by bit, every underworld god could feel that the underworld was undergoing drastic changes.
"This is..." Hypnos said with a hint of astonishment, "A soul? How is that possible..."
Hypnos was extremely shocked. There was actually a soul in the Yellow Springs Hirasaka? It wandered there like a mindless undead, and the more it did so, the more shocking it was.
This!
This!
How could this be? It was completely unimaginable! This was no joke. In Hypnos' view, everything here was too bizarre to imagine.
It was completely unbelievable. Why would there be a soul entering the underworld at this time?
"Hmm..."
Thanatos frowned slightly but still stood quietly. Although their status was high as underworld gods and they didn't care much about this, in reality, it was not like that at all.
As members of the underworld gods, they also had to follow the laws of the underworld. Maintaining the operation of life and death reincarnation was always very important.
Even in the original story, even when the underworld was constantly waging holy wars, they never abandoned their duties. As for the big principles of the saints? Don't be ridiculous! When the underworld was destroyed, even the cycle of life and death disappeared, and everything fell into chaos.
This showed how important the cycle of life and death was to the underworld and to the entire mythological world. It could be said without exaggeration.
If there was no cycle of life and death, the mythological world would eventually face huge problems over time.
Especially!
When Hades dies, this becomes even more unquestionable. Of course, these are future concerns. The most important point now is, isn't this too strange? What's going on?!
Hmm?!
What happened in the underworld, or could it be? After the death of humans in the golden age mythological world, their souls should either be absorbed as divine power or shattered into essence. How could there be souls entering the underworld?
"This..." Thanatos thought for a moment and said, "This soul is too weak, just an ordinary human soul. Probably! This is because the underworld is now connecting with other small worlds and has started to gradually connect to the underworld."
"I see!" Hypnos nodded in understanding, then said, "However, the underworld has not fully started its operation yet, and various responsibilities and personnel allocations..."
Hypnos also felt helpless about this. The staffing was really inadequate, and there were problems in many aspects. If this continues...
More and more souls will wander in the Yellow Springs Hirasaka. But the underworld represents the responsibility of the cycle of life and death, which brings what? Pure divine power or world power! These can help the underworld evolve and improve.
This is the fundamental reason for the underworld's advancement. Otherwise, why is the underworld improving so much? This is one of the core reasons!
The souls in the Yellow Springs Hirasaka eligible for reincarnation need to be processed quickly. This can't be done casually.
Moreover!
In the small worlds, many people's lives may have reached their end, but they still haven't died. These lives need to be processed, and their souls harvested by the death gods.
The work of the underworld may seem simple, but when you think carefully, you will realize it is not easy. The work of the entire underworld is very tedious and extremely complex.
"Hmm~~~"
Hypnos and Thanatos walked through the Yellow Springs Hirasaka, and sure enough! As time passed, more and more souls appeared in the Yellow Springs Hirasaka, wandering aimlessly.
However!
As the twin gods were feeling troubled, suddenly, deafening roars echoed, like heaven and earth collapsing. Everything began to change gradually.
Boom~~~
Boom~~~
The underworld experienced great tremors, the concepts and laws of sky and earth emerged, then perfectly integrated into the underworld. Following this, earth, water, fire, wind, the flow of day and night, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning!
Everything started operating rapidly. For the entire underworld, it was as if everything had begun, operating at a high speed in the shortest time.
With this transformation, the entire underworld quickly formed and gradually reached a peak.
At this time!
Seventy-two pillars engraved with demon god patterns pierced through, standing tall in the entire underworld, spanning across the eight hells, connecting heaven and earth. These seventy-two demon god pillars, fused with the essence and laws of the sky, had completely transformed into true sky pillars.
These were the most perfect sky pillars, and with the underworld perfectly on track, the entire underworld began to evolve rapidly, churning in the shortest time. Hades' foundation also reached the most perfect state, and everything was just a matter of course.
