World-Ending Demon Emperor-Chapter 2043 - 948: Lord of Destiny! Spirit of the Misfortune Demon Emperor!
Ji Xiuning used a heart-wrenching tactic to infiltrate Lanling’s side with only one purpose.
It was to let the Black Hole Vortex within Lanling’s energy heart spread from the Microcosmic World to the Macrocosmic World, thereby devouring his life and soul, completely killing him.
So she painstakingly guided Lanling to the abandoned Space Laboratory of the Dragon Temple.
When Lanling traversed the space vortex of the abandoned Space Laboratory, Yao Xing experienced a brief blackout, losing control over the Black Hole Vortex. Moreover, within the space vortex, the boundaries between the Microscopic and Macroscopic World planes were shattered, allowing the Black Hole Vortex to directly spread to the Macrocosmic World, spreading into Lanling’s body.
Hence, her sole task was to lure Lanling to the abandoned Space Laboratory of the Dragon Temple.
After completing this task, she didn’t leave but continued to stay undercover. Because she aimed for an even greater achievement, which was to eliminate the Hell Knight.
With these two achievements in hand, upon returning to the Dragon Temple, she could directly be promoted to Candidate Sky Priest and also as Candidate Sky Judge in the major overhaul a few years later.
She might even become the Sky Priest and concurrently the Sky Judge before the age of forty.
Before sixty, she could even aspire to become the first leader of the Sky Holy Palace, at least the second leader.
The plan to remain undercover beside Lanling was known by no more than three people. Hui Gu obviously didn’t know; his pursuit of Ji Xiuning was completely genuine. Ji Mengbai also didn’t know; his chase of Ji Xiuning was likewise genuine.
Once Ji Xiuning rises to power, these two will become cannon fodder!
And the mastermind behind it all was the Demon Star Pavilion Master, Ning Wuya. No one could withstand Ning Wuya’s ambition to ascend to the number one position, and Ji Xiuning chose to join his camp, wholeheartedly propelling Ning Wuya’s success.
Because Ning Wuya had designated her as his true heir, despite his lineage being Fu Lingxi, but Fu Lingxi could never ascend to the highest position of power.
"Wah wah..." The twin babies in her arms cried again.
"Definitely hungry..." Yin Ji said happily while caressing her swollen belly.
Ji Xiuning turned around and opened her blouse, revealing her unparalleled beautiful peaks while nursing the two babies.
She was the perfect mother, adamantly refused to find a wet nurse for her children.
She looked at the two children with incomparable affection, her face incomparably sacred, yet deep in her eyes, there was a calm abyss, showing no emotional fluctuation towards her own children.
The highest ruler of this world is the closest position to a god. To become nearly god-like, one must forsake all cheap emotions, whether it be romantic or maternal.
Even Fu Lingxi could easily achieve this, let alone the gifted Ji Xiuning.
...
Lanling entered the Netherworld Plane, the legendary hell!
It was different from imagination, different from all the film works on earth, different from all the novels describing the Netherworld.
There was no so-called eighteen layers of hell, no Fengdu City, no terrifying ghosts, no grim monsters, no oil pots, not even a complete sense of eeriness.
Above ground, Lanling had seen many scenes similar to hell.
Whether it was the hell fissures in the eastern coast, the battlefield in Yun E Royal City, or Na Xue’s headquarters fortress in the Demon City, all looked very much like hell.
Indeed, even the eternal curse world seemed more like hell than the Netherworld.
Skeletons, undead, ghosts, they were merely part of the real-world plane. Yet in the Netherworld... they were nonexistent.
What exists inside the Netherworld?
There was nothing yet had everything.
After entering the Netherworld, Lanling seemed to be in an endless black ocean, or perhaps a dark cosmos.
Everything around was energy in flux, or rather, data.
The entire Netherworld had nothing other than energy.
Countless energies, countless lost souls, all intertwined, surging, rolling, like dark clouds in the sky, aimlessly undulating.
This is the Netherworld!
A realm composed of energy and data!
There is a famous saying, dust returns to dust, earth to earth!
This sentence signifies that all accomplishments will become past illusions, all life will turn into dust. The sentence is correct, but the reality is even more thorough; after death, people don’t turn into dust but a mass of energy and data surging in the Netherworld.
On the surface, every individual, whether from the Demon Race or human, was a complete entity.
But in the Netherworld, everything was chaotic, with no independence, countless souls and energy lost in consciousness, all blended together.
Like the world’s water, you may be five hundred dollars a bottle of Tianshan snow water, five thousand dollars a bottle of polar ice water, silt-laden Yellow River water, or rotten Ganges River water. But ultimately all returns to the sea, merging into one.
The so-called equality of all beings refers directly to the Netherworld.
Lanling entered the Netherworld with self-awareness.
Yet he still could do nothing but drift along with the energy currents.
Before entering the Netherworld, Lanling fantasized many times that seeking Emperor EYun’s inheritance would be challenging, but it was certain he would manage it.
