A black figure then shot out from below.
It was the冥座 (Ming Zuo) that Qin Shi Huang had tried to move but couldn't.
After flying out, it landed behind the冥主 (Ming Zhu).
"冥主大人 (Ming Zhu Da Ren), I've injected the faith power of the Underworld into others to return to the Underworld. Please forgive me!"
The throne emitted a clear voice, and it was only then that Chu Tian confirmed it was this thing speaking.
"This is not your fault. I just want to know why you left the Underworld all those years ago and ended up here?" The 冥主 (Ming Zhu) descended behind.
And gracefully sat on the 冥座 (Ming Zuo).
This scene appeared so harmonious, at least that's what Chu Tian thought.
Much more harmonious than when Qin Shi Huang sat on it.
"Reporting to 冥主大人 (Ming Zhu Da Ren), I'm not entirely sure myself. After the old 冥主 (Ming Zhu) disappeared, I entered dormancy...
When I woke up, I was already here.
However... I've felt (his) residual aura on me!"
The throne's clear voice sounded like heavenly music.
"He... I suspect it was him!
The path of heavenly punishment cannot be opened from the outside without powerful faith power!
Otherwise, I would have brought you back long ago!
Because of your loss, nine-tenths of the Underworld's faith power was completely scattered.
I could only collect one-tenth of that...
It's even more impossible to open this path of heavenly punishment.
If it weren't for this time, when those two were causing trouble inside and broke this barrier,
allowing me to sense your existence, I wouldn't have arrived so soon!" the 冥主 (Ming Zhu) said lightly.
Chu Tian also heard important information in these words.
That is, (he) had also meddled in the Underworld.
"I... am not convinced!"
Qin Shi Huang struggled wildly, howling.
"You have no reason to be unconvinced; you are merely a chess piece, nothing to be unconvinced about!"
The Crow God interjected with a sneer.
"Hmph... Aren't you also a chess piece?" The 冥主 (Ming Zhu) snorted.
Casting a gaze towards the Crow God lying on the ground.
As soon as she spoke, the Crow God wilted, burying its head in the ground.
"冥主大人 (Ming Zhu Da Ren), spare me..."
"You were the old 冥主's (Ming Zhu's) mount. When the old 冥主 (Ming Zhu) went missing, and I hadn't yet manifested through the Underworld's laws, you secretly fled the Underworld.
Spreading your own cult, attempting to sow chaos in the world, and even trying to steal the 冥座 (Ming Zuo). Do you aspire to be the ruler of the Underworld?
And you put on this disgusting skin, calling yourself the Crow God... Do you still wish to live?"
The 冥主 (Ming Zhu) exuded an aura, questioning the Crow God continuously.
"冥主大人 (Ming Zhu Da Ren), I know I was wrong. I'll peel off this skin now!"
Chu Tian couldn't help but scoff. This creature was truly avoiding the main issue.
It struggled to stand up and extended its claws.
Clutching its neck.
*Riiip...*
Purple blood splattered.
This creature had indeed torn off its own skin.
A skull emerged.
Chu Tian stared blankly.
The moment the skull appeared, two eye sockets floated with a verdant ghost fire.
Then, the creature shed its skin layer by layer.
In the blink of an eye, a pale skeleton was revealed.
With tattered membranes on its wings.
As it stretched, it was actually a circle larger than the Crow God.
The 冥主 (Ming Zhu) watched this scene quietly.
Chu Tian had no idea what his mother was thinking at this moment.
"冥龙 (Ming Long)... Ya... is willing to serve 冥大人 (Ming Da Ren)!"
Having shed its skin, this creature had also shed the faith power.
It was as if a shackle had been removed, and its aura became even more powerful, far surpassing Qin Shi Huang's.
Could this be a true god-level creature?
"Hmph..." The 冥主 (Ming Zhu) said nothing.
With just a snort and a wave of its hand,
the 冥座 (Ming Zuo) flew up with it.
It flew directly onto the back of the 冥龙 (Ming Long), who called itself (Ya).
*Bang...*
The 冥座 (Ming Zuo) landed heavily, causing the 冥龙's (Ming Long's) massive skeleton to creak.
"Little Ya Ya, are you trying to steal me away... Perhaps you want to ride me? I've ridden you for eons; are you seeking revenge?"
The 冥座 (Ming Zuo) emitted its clear voice.
"Uh..."
The 冥龙 (Ming Long) was speechless, but the green flames in its eye sockets flickered up and down.
Clearly, the spirit of the 冥座 (Ming Zuo) had guessed correctly.
As the 冥座 (Ming Zuo) landed on it, the skeleton on its back also changed. Countless white bone spurs spread out, forming a flying wing on the 冥座 (Ming Zuo).
The entire 冥座 (Ming Zuo) was instantly adorned, no longer appearing so ordinary.
Black and white, exuding dominance.
This was the true 冥王神座 (Ming Wang Shen Zuo)!
It was also the representative symbol of the 冥王 (Ming Wang) when he went to war.
"So... I was truly just a chess piece!"
Qin Shi Huang, watching this transformation,
no longer struggled.
He knew struggling was useless; the Underworld's faith power would inevitably leave him.
At this moment, the black mist emanating from him had become extremely faint.
Golden qi gradually flowed from his body.
His aura also dropped to the level Chu Tian had first seen him at.
"You have done nothing wrong. Are you willing to follow me to conquer the myriad realms?"
Chu Tian's mother surprisingly extended an olive branch to Qin Shi Huang.
Chu Tian initially thought he would agree.
But the other party pondered for a moment.
And slowly said, "Conquer the myriad realms? That's still being a soldier under your command! I... I would rather be an ordinary person!"
"That kid, you want to take me back to Blue Star, right? That's considered my ancestral land. I've been away for 2000 years; it's time to return there!"
As Qin Shi Huang spoke, his words were filled with disappointment.
"Uh..."
When it was Chu Tian's turn to choose,
he still hesitated.
Even without the Underworld's faith power boost, Qin Shi Huang's strength was still quite formidable.
If he took him back like this, without his mother to suppress him,
who knew what trouble he might cause!
"Heh heh... Kid, don't worry. Don't you want this imperial aura of mine? I'll give it to you! If I say I want to be an ordinary person, I'll be an ordinary person!"
Seeing Chu Tian hesitate, Qin Shi Huang said this.
Chu Tian's eyes widened further. How did this guy know what he was discussing with Ya Ya in his mind?
"Hahaha... I cultivated the art of kingship since childhood; I can see your thoughts at a glance!"
Chu Tian's eyes rolled as he pondered.
Qin Shi Huang spoke again, revealing what was on his mind once more.
"Uh..." Chu Tian truly didn't know what to say.
"And..." Qin Shi Huang flicked his hand.
Something radiant shot towards Chu Tian.
The 冥主 (Ming Zhu) sitting on the throne slightly leaned forward.
It was about to intervene, but it felt no killing intent from the object,
so it leaned back into its seat.
Chu Tian waved his hand to catch it and opened his palm, gazing at the few seeds in his hand.
His eyes flickered. These were the things he had placed in that small white bottle.
The intention was for Qin Shi Huang to drink them.
