Chapter 108: Time? Earth, Water, Fire, Wind! The Underworld Advances Further!

"Spinning Oar!"

The Supreme Four Pillars attacked Karon, but Karon, wielding his oar, instantly launched a counterattack. The battle was decided in an instant, and the Supreme Four Pillars were shattered, leaving only their essences behind.

"Hehehe~~~"

Karon, grinning, stuffed the essences of the Supreme Four Pillars back into the demon god pillars. Then, carrying his oar and listening to the 'swish' sound, he transported the seventy-two demon god pillars into the demon star, destroying the already meaningless small world.

In the time that followed, stability was gradually restored. Everything fell into balance. Hades, now different from the past, had experienced immense growth due to the blessings of the divine underworld.

Stabilizing the devouring, exploring, and controlling of small worlds could perfectly supplement the underworld. As for time?! A million years? Several million years? It was uncertain!

Hades himself couldn't determine how long he had been exploring the crystal wall sea. To be precise, after retrieving his essence over the years, Hades had grown enough to step into the realm of a God-King.

However, Hades was not in a hurry. He steadily suppressed his essence, preventing it from breaking through to the God-King level. Why? The reason was simple!

To put it plainly, for any deity, breaking through to the God-King level was too easy. The core issue lay in the foundation's strength. Simply relying on the title of God-King to reach that level was vastly different from accumulating enough essence to naturally break through.

Now standing at the forefront of the crystal wall system, exploring the chaotic sea, Hades saw no need to rush the breakthrough. His goal was to solidify his foundation further.

This was the most fundamental and crucial point. Hades understood this well, knowing that rushing could only lead to problems.

As time passed, Hades gradually took control step by step. After many long years, he began to reclaim all his divine power. The returning demon stars signaled a significant drain on his energy, despite maintaining balance.

"Whoo~~~"

Hades exhaled deeply, whispering to himself, "Overall, the harvest this time was quite good. Such immense world power will undoubtedly promote the growth of the World Tree, further solidifying my foundation."

Of course, Hades wondered if the Ouroboros could truly become a reality. But for now, it was clearly insufficient. To fully nurture the Ouroboros would require much more time.

In summary, patience was necessary. These things couldn't be rushed. Step by step, stable progress was the key. Hastiness wouldn't help.

As the demon stars returned, strands of world power were injected into the underworld. In an instant, the World Tree absorbed all the world power.

Swish~~~

The World Tree swayed, generating vast divine power that spread throughout the underworld. With the existence of the Ouroboros, the sky and earth, having completed their gestation, entered the next phase: the birth of earth, water, fire, and wind. As these elements began to take shape, the entire underworld grew more turbulent and expanded rapidly. This growth brought significant enhancement to Hades, allowing him to perfect his entry into the God-King realm.

However, Hades continued to suppress his advancement. Patience was crucial; rushing now wouldn't yield the best results. Only with a solid foundation could he enhance further after becoming a God-King.

"Hades, my lord!"

The twin gods served Hades cautiously, afraid of any mishaps befalling him.

But...

As the saying goes: When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you!

At this moment, an endless darkness began to emerge. Under this infinite darkness, one might even question if darkness truly had light.

Yet!

At this instant, Hades quickly gathered everything and sent his subordinate gods into the underworld. He intended to use his hidden powers to leave immediately. Unfortunately, it was too late.

He couldn't move...

Indeed! Hades' body couldn't move at all, forcing him to stand still. The terrifying figure approached from afar in the chaotic sea, a massive flesh-like black cloud. Just looking at it indicated how horrifying it was.

Even...

Hades wanted to close his eyes, but it was pointless. This image couldn't be shut out merely by closing his eyes. His soul, consciousness, and everything would still witness it.

This was the most terrifying aspect. This being was an outer god, with a massive black cloud-like body, numerous tentacles, and mouths dripping with corrosive fluid.

Even in the chaotic sea, this fluid corroded parts of the sea, although the chaotic sea quickly repaired itself.

Nevertheless, this showcased how terrifying the being was. At this moment, Hades' consciousness began to blur. In the presence of this entity, he saw a beautiful woman with horns.
