Chapter 492: Chapter 492: When a God Dies, Does Their Soul Return to the Underworld?
This was something the Taiyin Emperor hadn’t anticipated.
A human can weaken him by a hundredfold, and moreover, can resurrect the living right in front of him!
“The Data World is indeed somewhat different. I won’t kill you all. I have other matters to attend to, very important matters. Let me go; your ability is restricting my actions,” said the Taiyin Emperor.
How to put it?
This Taiyin Emperor is surprisingly amicable.
Yet even though there’s no sense of hatred, this guy can stomp his foot and kill someone just like that.
Moreover,
He also knows he’s been restricted by Lu Ran.
And he can’t break free.
He wants Lu Ran to release him, but at the same time promises not to kill Lu Ran and his companions.
Where does this unshakable confidence come from?
Lu Ran frowned and said, “Let me ask you a question.”
The Taiyin Emperor nodded and replied, “Go ahead.”
Lu Ran asked, “If you die, will your soul return to the Underworld?”
Hmm?
The Taiyin Emperor frowned and said, “I won’t die.”
What does that mean?
The Taiyin Emperor is technically undying?
According to the Taiyin Emperor’s understanding, yes, because he’s the boss of the Underworld. Dying and having his soul return to the Underworld is just going back home, so there’s no concept of death.
But Lu Ran glanced at the Taiyin Emperor’s head.
He saw the Taiyin Emperor’s health bar after being weakened.
So he shook his head and said, “In the Data World, you will die.”
After saying that,
without further hesitation,
he summoned Thor and Minaca.
Immediately,
to Lu Ran’s left and right, Thor and Minaca stood on either side.
The Taiyin Emperor looked a bit bewildered.
“Lower-positioned deities? How did they end up here?” the Taiyin Emperor asked.
“Kill him,” Lu Ran said flatly.
He couldn’t be bothered to verbally spar with the Taiyin Emperor anymore.
The Taiyin Emperor frowned, preparing to fight, but did not think highly of the lower-positioned deities.
But seeing the two deities walking towards him,
he suddenly realized.
He is currently being weakened by a hundredfold!
Surprise flashed across his face but didn’t turn into panic. He only watched Lu Ran, with unknown thoughts running through his mind.
But he didn’t resist.
He seemed to know that resistance was futile and stood still, waiting to be attacked.
The situation developed smoothly.
Thor and Minaca charged forward and launched a furious assault on the Taiyin Emperor.
Of course,
Minaca’s attack methods were a bit limited.
After all, she belonged to the Healing Series of deities.
But Thor unleashed all-out firepower!
And it was evident that Thor was very excited.
A lower-positioned deity attacking and suppressing a higher-positioned deity without any scruples—such opportunities don’t come often!
As for Lu Ran,
he didn’t take action. Although the charged Blood Spear didn’t last long, the Taiyin Emperor, with his life limit weakened a hundredfold, seemed susceptible to being suppressed.
But Lu Ran decided to conserve it.
What should be saved, must be saved. What should be spent, must be spent. Who knows what kind of anomaly the next deity might be, what unexpected situations might arise?
After all,
this was the final Divine Format fragment Lu Ran needed.
He couldn’t afford any accidents. The Blood Spear was Lu Ran’s most powerful tool.
Of course,
this referred to the fully charged Blood Spear with a sufficiently long charge time.
The Taiyin Emperor’s health was dwindling rapidly. Although he was a higher-positioned deity, with a life limit weakened a hundredfold, he couldn’t withstand Thor’s attacks.
Thus,
at the moment his health bar emptied, the Taiyin Emperor’s body froze and then began to dissipate.
Lu Ran breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the task panel, which confirmed that it was completed.
“Tch, acting all high and mighty, yet still ended up dead?” Lu Ran muttered.
But strangely, the Evil Mirror Platform remained in front of him, not dissipating.
Lu Ran was somewhat puzzled.
At the same time,
below, Liao Wenshan was dumbfounded.
What in the world happened?
Lu Ran killed a deity!
Moreover,
it wasn’t just that Lu Ran could transform into a deity himself, but he also summoned two additional deities to attack together!
Liao Wenshan realized,
Lu Ran’s power surpassed his imagination, even far surpassing the might of a deity!
And as a summoner, he had no control over the deities, and he was even killed by a deity—it was Lu Ran who saved him!
He’s in for it, truly in for it!
Lu Ran’s power is unbelievably terrifying!
And Lu Ran,
looking at the Evil Mirror Platform, had a rough guess.
Although the Taiyin Emperor died, he seemed to have returned to the Underworld and wasn’t truly dead, truly dissipated.
That’s why he said he couldn’t die.
But since the task was completed, it meant the Taiyin Emperor was at least dead in the Data World.
“Since he’s dead in the Data World, he must abide by its rules; no one can escape!” Lu Ran mumbled to himself.
Then he directly resurrected the Taiyin Emperor!
Sure enough,
the situation developed just as Lu Ran expected.
The Taiyin Emperor’s body began to reform once more.
Soon he reappeared in front of them.
“Deities can’t die; they truly can’t die. They can be resurrected!” exclaimed Liao Wenshan excitedly.
But from not far away, Liu Xinxin retorted, “Even if they can be resurrected and don’t die, what does it have to do with you? Your control is fake. Considering your performance today, you’ll be facing judgment from the Full-time Alliance next.”
Instantly,
The excitement on Liao Wenshan’s face froze.
Yeah, what’s he excited about? The deities have nothing to do with him!
Moreover,
he still has to face judgment from the Full-time Alliance!
Looking up at those deities, Liao Wenshan was not content, still wanting to try again.
But before he could, Lu Ran was already trying.
“Submit to me,” Lu Ran said calmly.
Lu Ran wanted to confirm whether he’d truly seized control over the Taiyin Emperor.
Because this guy was a bit peculiar.
As a higher-positioned deity, he’s not the same as Thor and Minaca.
The facts showed that daring to use tricks to invade the Data World and being digitized meant adhering to its rules and to Lu Ran’s rules!
The Taiyin Emperor nodded, bowed to Lu Ran, and lowered his head with a humble attitude.
The command Liao Wenshan was about to attempt stayed unspoken, blocked in his throat.
Deities can be resurrected, but they’ve all bowed to Lu Ran—what’s the point of him trying anything now!
Lu Ran also breathed a sigh of relief.
He said, “That’s enough.”
After speaking, Lu Ran thought a moment, and, along with the Taiyin Emperor, Thor, and Minaca, all three deities were returned by Lu Ran to the Pet Space.
At the same time,
the Evil Mirror Platform also disappeared.
This confirmed that Lu Ran had indeed seized control of the Taiyin Emperor, rather than the Taiyin Emperor merely pretending.
It seems even deities wouldn’t stoop to pretending towards humans.
Seeing the matter come to an end, Lu Ran’s body shrank, releasing the state of the Nether King’s Body.
He glanced at Liao Wenshan.
He said, “Xinxin, about Liao Wenshan, you guys will handle it?”
“The Full-time Alliance will handle it. What’s your plan next?” Liu Xinxin asked.
“I have four Divine Format fragments, just one more to go. I need to think it over,” Lu Ran pondered.
Once he gathers the final Divine Format fragment, Lu Ran can become a deity!
