Becoming a Goddess was only one final Prayer Technique away.
Prayer Technique could grant wishes for wind, rain, thunder, fire, health, and so on.
Historically, one use of Prayer Technique caused a lightning storm to become even more terrifying than a Forbidden Curse under the prayers of the people.
And the divine soul also needed Prayer Technique to be completely awakened.
Prayer Technique was in the hands of the Hall Mother Pamir.
"Come, let us pray for our Goddess Ye Xinxia!" Pamir called out.
The believers pressed their palms together, muttering incantations.
"Ye Xinxia is the chosen Goddess."
"Ye Xinxia is the true Goddess."
"…"
Prayer after prayer converged on Xinxia, and the phantom of the divine soul became more and more solid.
Below the high platform.
Mo Fan and the others were also praying.
Pamir had stepped down from the high platform at some point, and she frowned as she looked at Mo Fan and the others.
"Why haven't you found any trace of Jiang Yuan? Did I raise all of you useless people for nothing?"
The Cloaked Man, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, appeared behind Pamir.
He explained, "Hall Mother, we have searched every possible place he could be in China. I believe he might be hiding."
"So? You dare to return without completing your mission?" Pamir was enraged.
Sensing her anger, the Cloaked Man continued, "China has too much attention on Jiang Yuan. Our actions have already attracted attention. If we continue, the Chinese high-level officials might directly expel us."
"What's the difference between you leaving China without completing the mission and being expelled?" Pamir was about to be infuriated to death by these idiots.
The vast Pathenon Temple intelligence system couldn't even find one person!
If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine, but Jiang Yuan would receive a lot of attention no matter where he was. It was too difficult for him to avoid being found.
A bunch of useless things!
"It's fine if he doesn't come out. He can just watch as Ye Xinxia, who is worshipped by all people after becoming a Goddess, is dragged into the Dark Plane." Pamir made up her mind, then ordered, "After the ceremony, have Ye Xinxia come to see me."
What if she was a Goddess?
Under her manipulation, even a Goddess could be pulled down from her glorious position!
Before, she wanted to see Ye Xinxia become the leader of both the light and dark factions, a Goddess and a Pope.
But her thoughts had changed now.
To become a Goddess and then be cast into purgatory was also an exhilarating achievement!
...
...
On the other side.
Netherworld.
Jiang Yuan opened his eyes, and the fragmented body in front of him instantly crumbled into yellow sand, drifting away like the ubiquitous sand and stones of Egypt.
From now on, there would be no Pharaoh Khufu in the world.
"Still a bit short," Jiang Yuan murmured, feeling the power boost from his armor-robe.
The power contained in the armor-robe was already very close to that of a Ruler Emperor, but it was this thin barrier that was difficult to break through.
Only by unifying all the remaining Netherworlds on the ground could he officially become an existence on par with Queen Huangsha.
Jiang Yuan summoned Nine Nether Queen.
He asked, "How is the intelligence gathering?"
"It has been completed. We are prepared to launch the Netherworld War simultaneously from the five continents to quickly seize new Netherworld territories for the King!" Nine Nether Queen said.
"Go ahead and do it."
Jiang Yuan waved his hand, letting Nine Nether Queen leave.
The eyes of those Emperors in the Dark Plane had already turned to him.
However, the Netherworld was inherently his domain, and it was impossible for those Dark Kings to intervene and get a share.
Ignoring the Dark King, Jiang Yuan turned his gaze to his Soul Space.
After the Undead System reached Super-Level, the size of the Soul Space was already difficult to measure, even much larger than the Egyptian Underworld.
If possible, Jiang Yuan planned to integrate the Netherworld under his control with the Soul Space, making it independent of the Main Plane and also independent of the Dark Plane, becoming a brand new plane.
As the current sole source of the Undead System, Jiang Yuan could easily modify the Soul Space to use any Undead magic.
Oh, I forgot to mention.
Undead System Super-Level magic summons Monarch-level Undead to assist from the Netherworld.
Undead System Forbidden Curse magic communicates with the source of the Undead System, obtaining Emperor-level power assistance, and can unleash a Netherworld Calamity, turning an area into a ghost realm.
Very powerful magic.
But for Jiang Yuan to use these Undead magic was purely redundant, an unnecessary act.
He himself was already the source of the Undead System.
...
After a brief look at the many Undead in the Soul Space, Jiang Yuan found the Three-Eyed Underworld General, Twisted Undead, and Demon Undead.
These were the Undead on which he had spent the most resources.
Oh, no, the Twisted Undead didn't cost him any resources; it consumed the souls of Black Vatican members.
The souls of Black Vatican members were much more useful than resources.
"Boom!!!!"
A summoning array flashed, and the Three-Eyed Underworld General appeared on the bone-ash sands of the Netherworld, its hundred-meter-tall colossal body raising a dust storm a thousand meters high!
The hundred-meter-tall white bone giant body stood erect again like a collapsed mountain. Its bones, gleaming with a cold, eerie light, were layered on top of each other, and wisps of black mist entwined its joints, as if an ancient demon had broken free from its seal.
Most terrifyingly, in the center of its forehead, a blood-red Nether Eye spun wildly, as if thousands of vengeful spirits wailed within it. Wherever the crimson light reached, space itself twisted!
Calling it the Three-Eyed Underworld General was no longer appropriate.
"Let's change its name from now on. We'll call it the Three-Eyed Underworld Monarch," Jiang Yuan said, looking up.
"Crack!" The Three-Eyed Underworld Monarch's upper and lower jawbones collided, and the immense force caused the air to explode.
It could no longer make a crisp clicking sound.
The Three-Eyed Underworld Monarch was sad for 0.1 second.
Jiang Yuan tapped the Three-Eyed Underworld Monarch's hard bone and said, "You also follow Austin and lead an army of Undead to attack the smaller Netherworlds."
"Crack!" The Three-Eyed Underworld Monarch nodded, and at the same time, it asked Jiang Yuan for a weapon.
It was still longing for a great saber.
But where could he get such a large cleaver?
Jiang Yuan said speechlessly, "We'll talk about it when you come back. Go do your work obediently first."
The Three-Eyed Underworld Monarch could only reluctantly leave, its massive body slowly moving across the bone-ash sands.
Then Jiang Yuan summoned the Twisted Undead. After being promoted to Monarch-level, the aura of madness and pain on its body became even more intense, and its appearance hardly changed.
Its promotion still required more souls from Black Vatican members, with the last one to be consumed being the Pope.
At that time, the Twisted Undead would become an Emperor-level Undead!
Finally, there was the Demon Undead.
It was the most peculiar, capable of converting all energy it had used into its own. For example, when it swallowed the essence of a Sub-Dragon during its promotion to Monarch-level, the Demon Undead could then use the Sub-Dragon's dragon breath.
This was also one of the characteristics of the Demon System.
In other words, the Demon Undead had the highest potential; it just needed to keep stuffing things into its body.
