Chapter 1 The Subjugation of the Ominous

After a moment, the top of the sky gradually returned to silence.

Gu Shen completed the suppression of this ominous event...

This fusion could not be called a failure, nor could it be called a success. Compared to the pressure Gu Shen bore, what he gained was truly little.

A wisp of jet-black flame burned between his eyebrows.

Gu Shen plucked off this wisp of Underworld Fire, looked at it for a long time, and finally shook his head with a light sigh.

"Please use \[Reversal], Senior..."

Bai Shu, who had been watching from the sidelines, was surprised, "Are you sure you want to use \[Reversal] at this moment?"

Gu Shen had already completed the suppression of the ominous and plucked off this wisp of Underworld Fire!

This battle was already over!

To reverse now would be equivalent to working in vain...

After perfectly fusing with the Fighting Fire Seed, Bai Shu's \[Reversal Divine Domain] power had increased many times. Except for Divine Seats of the same level who had perfectly fused with a Fire Seed, everything else could be disassembled and restored to its original state within the Divine Domain.

Even Gu Shen at this moment was no exception.

Currently, Gu Shen had only fused with a small wisp of Underworld Fire.

If he truly wanted to contend against the \[Reversal Divine Domain], he would at least have to digest the power of an entire Fire Seed.

"I'm sure," Gu Shen nodded.

He knew what Mr. Bai Shu was worried about.

Activating \[Reversal] now would cause the Underworld Fire to return to the vertical pupil, and the ominous events he had encountered would lose their meaning.

It would be equivalent to suffering in vain.

"Alright."

Although he didn't understand what Gu Shen was trying to do, Bai Shu still gave him his respect.

He waved his sleeve to activate the \[Reversal Divine Domain]. Countless divine rays flowed, enveloping Gu Shen. He watched as the wisp of black flame between his eyebrows was forcibly disintegrated by divine power, returning to the gap in the sky bit by bit.

Finally, the sky closed, and the dark aura covered everything.

Everything returned to calm.

"Thank you, Senior..."

Gu Shen landed and bowed respectfully.

Bai Shu frowned, "What trick are you playing, kid?"

"In response, Senior... I just wanted to try the taste of 'fusing with a Fire Seed'," Gu Shen explained with a smile, "The fusion with the Underworld King Fire Seed is very difficult. Even though I am a Chosen One, I still encountered great resistance... You should have seen the scene just now."

"Yes... This Underworld Fire is full of ominousness."

Bai Shu recalled the scene just now and slowly said, "Although fusing with a Fire Seed is as difficult as ascending to heaven, the fact that you suffered such a huge erosion of disaster just by extracting a wisp of authority is truly frightening."

"That's precisely why I want to use \[Reversal] to return to the state before fusing with the Fire Seed."

Gu Shen said calmly, "These disasters and ominousness are nothing. If I can suppress them once, I can suppress them a second time!"

"Are you... aware of some problem?"

Bai Shu raised an eyebrow.

"There are a large number of disasters left by the previous Underworld King in the Underworld Fire," Gu Shen said calmly, "You should know about the Doru River incident, as well as the Old World in the northern part of Gubu Fortress... The previous Underworld King always wanted to create an army of the undead to conquer the Five Continents. I suspect these disasters are the foreshadowing he left behind."

Under the lock of fate, even a Divine Seat could not escape the reckoning of karma.

Every time someone was killed, a wisp of karmic debt would envelop them.

As the most powerful order breaker in this world, the more one "usurped," the more one had to bear enormous disasters and ominousness...

"I'm very curious, what exactly did the previous Underworld King do to accumulate such a huge disaster?"

Gu Shen chuckled softly, "The killings in the River of the Underworld and the northern labyrinth alone couldn't have created this karmic debt."

As soon as he said this, Bai Shu's expression also became solemn.

"The Underworld King of that year was an extremely solitary fellow."

Bai Shu frowned and said, "Besides Gu Changzhi, no one knew this guy's whereabouts. Not even a few people had seen his true face... I know very little about the Underworld King. The only news I know is that he handed the \[Ruler of Truth] over to the Ancient Text Society before fleeing the Five Continents."

After a series of twists and turns.

\[Truth] was held by Li Rou and erupted in Xinyang Fortress.

Then there was a long wait of twenty years, and \[Truth] finally came into Gu Shen's hands.

"In that case, it is indeed appropriate to use \[Reversal]. The most terrifying thing in the transcendent world is fate. Achieving the Divine Seat requires the approval of fate, and those disasters and ominousness are even more guided by fate."

Bai Shu looked at Gu Shen and said solemnly, "Although your current strength allows you to begin fusion, if you don't have absolute certainty, don't easily touch the 'Underworld King Fire Seed'."

"Yes... That's what I think too."

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes and looked at the black gap in the sky that was slowly closing.

The power of the Underworld King Fire Seed's authority was very tempting.

But he maintained his rationality at the last moment.

He believed in the intuition of his Mind Sea... There must be a big pit left in this Fire Seed. Fusing with it now would easily lead to being plotted against.

"It's just... such a pity."

Bai Shu's expression was somewhat regretful, and he said this sentence very softly.

Gu Shen said, "Senior... I'm afraid we'll have to wait a little longer to revive Li Rou."

"Actually, it's not because of this that I feel sorry."

Bai Shu was silent for a moment and said hoarsely, "There are some things I dare not think about... After fusing with the Fighting Fire Seed, I comprehended the perfect \[Reversal Divine Domain]. I can go anywhere under this heaven, and I can do anything, but I can't revive Li Rou. But if even \[Reversal] can't accomplish this miracle, can the Underworld Fire really do it?"

"..."

Gu Shen really wanted to say yes, but he also knew that no one could guarantee that the Underworld Fire could do it.

He could only comfort him, "Governing life and death, setting things right. The Underworld Fire is the most likely of the Seven Divine Fire Seeds to complete this miracle."

"Yes, so I came out from the bottom of Qinghe." Bai Shu smiled, "I waited so long without a single complaint. Now that you have begun to show promise, even if I wait a few more years... what does it matter?"

Gu Shen asked curiously, "Then what is Senior regretting?"

"If you achieve 'Underworld King', the status of East Continent will be completely different."

Bai Shu said, "What I regret is that the merger of Central City and Nagano still requires forbearance."

"Senior, there's really no need to feel sorry."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "That wisp of authority power just now isn't enough to fill the gaps between the teeth of the God War... Fusing with that wisp of authority is indeed a great enhancement for me, but compared to a true 'Divine Seat', it's like a firefly compared to the bright moon."

"That's true."
