Chapter 174 The remnants of the demon race vie for entry into the underworld!
The underworld's recruitment notice was like a depth charge dropped onto a seemingly calm, primordial lake.
The ripples it caused far exceeded Apocalypse's initial expectations.
Tianqi originally just wanted to recruit some people.
To share the increasingly heavy workload of the underworld,
After all, the seasoned miners in the underworld these days basically do nothing but mine and cultivate.
I don't want to do anything else!
Not to mention holding a position in the underworld!
While recruiting, we can also attract some external talent.
Let's inject some lifelessness into this stagnant pool of the underworld!
But he underestimated the power of "establishment," "spiritual energy," "merit," "top-tier backing," and "the loyalty of the old demon clan members...!"
What he didn't expect was that,
The first group of people who came to apply for the positions were not some powerful rogue cultivators.
Instead—it's the remnants of the demon race!
Just like the Great Luo Demon Clan we inquired about earlier!
These former Heavenly Court soldiers, under the command of Di Jun and Tai Yi,
After the Heavenly Saints stormed the Heavenly Court, some died and others scattered.
Those who were lucky enough to escape and survive mostly went into hiding.
I dare not return to the former site of the Heavenly Court that Di Jun did not have time to take away!
These people are living such a miserable life!
Under the targeting of the Heavenly Sage
Although the entire prehistoric world was vast, it was difficult for them to find a place to live.
The local government's recruitment information was disseminated through various channels.
For example, when news of some lesser demons who secretly abandoned their dignity and sought refuge in the underworld reached the ears of these remaining demon clans...
They initially scoffed at it.
"Working for the Witch Clan?"
What a joke! We're demons!
The largest clan in the primordial world!
But then,
After learning about the detailed benefits and treatment in the underworld,
In particular, the points about "being protected by the earth's authentic energy," "receiving authentic merit rewards for outstanding work performance," and "working in a spiritually rich environment" are particularly noteworthy.
It was like magic, making them feel incredibly eager.
Inside a secluded cave in a valley,
Several former minor officials of the demon race were engaged in a heated debate.
"Go to the underworld? Serve as servants for those barbarians?"
"I'd rather stay in this cave and chew on rocks!"
A hot-tempered rhinoceros demon roared in a deep, gruff voice.
"Gnawing on rocks?"
"Old rhinoceros, how many more years can you keep gnawing on this?"
Another, more astute fox demon general sneered.
"Don't you know what the outside world is like?"
What has Heaven's suppression done to him? His cultivation is making absolutely no progress!
Let's look at the message sent back by the brothers who risked their lives to go to the underworld.
That spiritual energy...tsk tsk
It's no worse than when we were at our peak in Heaven!
I heard that if you do a good job, you'll even get some merit points!
"But that's the territory of the Witch Clan! Our relationship with the Witch Clan isn't very good!"
Moreover, I heard that His Majesty Emperor Jun and His Majesty the Eastern Emperor are still there!
We went to serve the demon race.
This...this is outrageous!
The rhinoceros demon general stiffened his neck, feeling quite unwilling!
"His Majesty?"
The fox demon general sighed and lowered his voice.
"Your Majesties are now also saints of the underworld!"
to be honest,
The Underworld is now jointly ruled by the two emperors and the Witch Clan!
If we go, aren't we still being loyal to His Majesty?
It's just a different place, a different name!
"and"
One of the three-headed demon generals, who had been silent until now, spoke up.
"I've heard that the underworld only accepts souls now... as for our physical bodies..."
On the contrary, it's a burden.
The last sentence,
This made many of the hesitant remnants of the demon race much more determined!
Yup!
The underworld is a netherworld; without sufficient strength, living beings can hardly survive.
To truly integrate and enjoy those benefits,
You have to... abandon this physical body!
Abandoning the physical body is something that cultivators find difficult to accept.
This means that countless years of hard work have been in vain.
But now, for these remnants of the demon race, whose future is bleak and whose lives are hanging by a thread,
Perhaps this is a kind of relief!
In silence,
Suddenly, someone spoke up:
"Rather than bearing the identity of a demon..."
They eked out a living in the primordial wilderness, targeted by the Heavenly Dao.
It would be better to just die!
If you die, you can go to the underworld and see the two emperors.
That way, they can continue to serve under His Majesty.
You can also enjoy spiritual energy and merit!
These words immediately enlightened countless remnants of the demon race!
"Yeah! Yeah!"
Although we have sought refuge in the underworld,
But now the Demon Emperor and His Majesty the Eastern Emperor are both True Saints.
Doesn't that mean we're still loyal to His Majesty?!
"No problem! Let's do it!"
".......!"
then,
Extremely strange phenomena began to appear in various parts of the prehistoric world.
It was even a scene that could be described as absurd:
Groups of demons rushed to the newly built Gates of Hell.
They weren't going to cause trouble, but rather... lining up to commit suicide!
Yes, it was suicide!
It's the kind of suicide with an expression that says, "I've finally figured it out," or "I'm in a hurry to be reincarnated and go to work!"
They didn't originally have the courage to commit suicide!
But it's unclear who spread this rumor.
Those who commit suicide are deeply sinful.
They can go to the eighteenth level of hell and enjoy even better treatment...!
These words excited the demons even more!
"Hurry up, what are you dawdling for?"
No, let me help you. This is the last time you can enjoy this delicious food!
Hurry up, I'm in a rush to report to the underworld!
"If you're late, all the good positions will be taken!"
One of the wolf demons impatiently urged the one in front, who was adjusting his condition, to hurry up.
A deer demon preparing to understand itself.
Upon hearing this, the deer demon turned around and glared at him, saying:
"Why are you rushing me!"
I need to concentrate my demonic power to try and strengthen my soul.
"It'll be better to get a better job there!"
The wolf demon curled his lip and said:
"You're such a troublemaker!"
"Hurry up! I heard the patrol team is short-handed. If we're late, we'll be sweeping through hell!"
"......!"
The ghost messengers at the Gates of Hell were dumbfounded by this sight.
Although they haven't been in office for long
But countless lives were lost every day in the primordial world.
It has also guided the wailing and lamenting souls of the dead.
They have guided the bewildered and ignorant souls of the dead.
They have also guided the spirits of fierce and malevolent ghosts.
But those who are so elated and rushing to commit suicide, as seen before us...
This is the first time I've ever seen this!
especially,
Most of these guys were quite famous in their lifetimes: demons!
"Is this...is this in accordance with procedure?"
A newly hired ghost messenger, holding a soul-catching rope, looked somewhat bewildered and asked the old ghost messenger next to him.
The old ghost's lips twitched.
Looking at the long, orderly queue before me, except for the occasional suicide-cracking demon race member urging each other on,
After holding it in for a long time, he said:
"Well!
...Anyway, as mentioned above:
We'll accept anyone who is willing and whose soul is intact!
Who cares how he died!
Register them immediately and send them to the court!
Stop blocking the door!
The bloodlust from the deaths of these demons was extremely strong.
It would be troublesome if it affected other souls entering reincarnation!
that's it,
A trend has emerged of "abandoning the physical body, entering the underworld, pledging loyalty to His Majesty, and creating new glories."
It spread rapidly among the remnants of the demon race.
A large number of demon souls poured into the underworld through various ghost gates.
