Chapter 1516 Born at the Peak, the Truth Behind the Shattering of Hell
When the Lord of Time and Space spoke of this, he couldn't help but express some amazement.
Perhaps he himself was amazed and impressed by this incredible, massive response.
Chen Mu had already guessed, "So, those massive amounts of innate evil energy, after taking effect, created you?"
The Lord of Time and Space said, "You could say that, but you can't say it that way either."
The massive amount of innate evil energy mingled together, and the vast amount of trace intelligence within it was all obliterated in the collisions.
But some were destroyed, while others survived.
After the surviving intelligences merged, a new intelligent entity was born. Just as you guessed, Mr. Chen, this newborn intelligent entity is my prototype.
The vast amount of innate demonic energy was also obliterated and became ownerless. Naturally, I took over this innate demonic energy.
Therefore, it can be said that from the moment I was born, I became 'half a Demon Lord'.
Upon hearing what the Lord of Time and Space said, Xiao Ye couldn't help but reveal a hint of amazement and envy in her eyes.
Not only Xiaoye, but even Chen Mu was somewhat envious of this.
Chen Mu recalled how he had worked himself to the bone for two or three years, experiencing countless ups and downs, before finally reaching this point and ascending to the throne of the powerful Demon Lord.
The Lord of Time and Space was actually born a Demon Lord!
Is it true that you work hard for half your life, only to end up at someone else's starting point?
Chen Mu couldn't help but envy such good luck.
At the same time, Chen Mu also realized the diversity of becoming a Venerable in this world.
He himself became a supreme being by using ghost money, Lin Shanmu became a supreme being by using corpses, and Tian Shihan became a supreme being by constantly reincarnating...
Behind every powerful being who has attained the highest level lies a remarkable story. They reached the pinnacle of the Demon Lord through different paths.
But standing right in front of him was someone even more extraordinary.
Is this considered... becoming a supreme being by virtue of being born? Or is it becoming a supreme being by virtue of lying down and doing nothing?
In a novel, he could be a protagonist who can simply lie back and relax, reaching his peak right from the start.
Sensing their astonishment, the Lord of Time and Space said:
"Haha, doesn't that sound wonderful? A meteoric rise, born at the peak, directly reaching the pinnacle of the Demon Lord."
Reality isn't a fairy tale; it's not that wonderful.
Don't forget, I said 'half a Ghost Lord'. I have the quantity of Ghost Lord's innate Ghost Qi, but because the sources of this innate Ghost Qi are mixed, I don't have the ability to regenerate it.
My innate evil energy diminishes with each use.
Moreover, my consciousness is attached to the distorted space of the 'Gate of Time and Space'.
It was through the distortion of space that I was able to preserve my innate demonic energy. At the same time, the gate of spacetime is under the control of the Supreme Being of the Demonic Path, which means I have no freedom.
Later, I used some methods to escape from the clutches of the Supreme Being of the Deceptive Path, and incidentally, I also managed to steal some of his ability to manipulate space.
The Lord of Time and Space casually brushed the matter aside with just one sentence.
Only someone like Chen Mu, who has seen the Supreme Being of the Deceptive Path, understands the true value of the phrase "Supreme Being of Time and Space".
They could gain their freedom from that old man, Deng. And they could even steal some of his abilities...
The bloodshed and violence involved are unimaginable. It cannot be easily summarized in a single sentence.
Judging from the appearance, that memory was not pleasant. Since the Lord of Time and Space was unwilling to say more, Chen Mu did not press further.
However, Chen Mu had an idea: the Dawn and Dusk Mirror, as one of the ten pieces of equipment dropped by the Supreme Demon Path, possessed the ultimate control over space.
Is the power that the Time and Space Sovereign stole part of the Morning and Evening Mirror's power?
This explains why the "mirror" of the Underworld Post Office also has a similar ability to the "Dawn and Dusk Mirror - Time Travel".
Fortunately, it seems that the stolen abilities haven't had much impact on the Dawn and Dusk Mirror, nor on the level of Chen Mu's props.
The Lord of Time and Space continued, "I only learned later that the Supreme Being of the Deceptive Path created the 'Gate of Time and Space' not simply to teleport his subordinates."
The Supreme Being of the Deceptive Path did this to lay the groundwork in advance. The so-called 'Gate of Time and Space' is a passage that was laid out in advance to enter the human world and establish a connection between the human world and hell in the future.
This passage was supposed to play a vital bridging role during the invasion of the human world, sending the supreme being of the unorthodox path to the mortal realm, and also continuously sending the eeriness of hell to the human world.
However, my appearance disrupted all of these plans.
Later I heard that the Supreme Being of the Demonic Path failed in his invasion of the human world. I guess it had a lot to do with my escape.
Otherwise, if the portal to another dimension were to act as a passage, humanity would likely find it very difficult to stop it.
Could I be said to have indirectly helped humanity by some twist of fate?
The Lord of Time and Space smiled, and Chen Mu knew that this was a gesture of goodwill towards him.
Chen Mu is also human. When the Lord of Time and Space said that he "indirectly helped humanity," he was actually secretly trying to curry favor with Chen Mu.
Claiming credit doesn't necessarily mean asking for rewards; it's also a way to express one's attitude.
The Lord of Time and Space continued, "Looking back now, I ruined the great plan of the Supreme Deceptive Path and caused him a lot of trouble."
That's why I developed a grudge against the Supreme Being of the Deceptive Path.
Having offended the big boss of hell, I think it will be extremely difficult to survive in hell.
As a cunning lord who takes shortcuts, I am born with a flaw.
The biggest drawback is that I cannot generate my own innate evil energy. Fortunately, my distorted space has a very good sealing effect, which can tightly seal off the innate evil energy within my body.
But if I do that, I can't fight. Every time I fight, my innate magical energy will be depleted.
However, under the suppression of the Supreme Being of the Deceptive Path, not fighting is impossible.
By controlling space, I can exchange spaces and instantly move my location.
It was precisely because of this that I repeatedly escaped from the clutches of the Supreme Being of the Deceptive Path.
Each time I escape like this, it depletes my innate demonic energy. I must find a way to replenish my innate demonic energy, otherwise I will eventually be worn down and die.
Fortunately, I discovered that even in the space of hell, there was a faint trace of innate evil energy.
Those were naturally shed by other powerful individuals. Their ability to seal their innate evil energy is not as strong as mine; they cannot achieve 'watertightness'.
If you search carefully, you can still find the wandering, primordial energy within the space.
From this perspective, I, this Demon Lord, am actually quite pitiful. Like... a small fish or shrimp swimming in the ocean, living by devouring plankton.
I can obliterate the consciousness of even the faintest traces of innate evil energy and make it my own.
Back then, I couldn't stay still every day. I had to be constantly moving.
Because even the pure, strange energy in the space is extremely thin, let alone the even less innate, strange energy.
I can only continuously collect my innate spiritual energy by constantly moving around. It's too little; I can't get enough to eat, only enough to keep myself from starving. Consumption and expenditure barely balance each other.
By absorbing these innate evil energies, I managed to gain a foothold in Hell—although I was constantly being chased around by the Supreme Being of the Demonic Path.
Later, the Supreme Demon Lord focused his energy on invading the human world. He knew that causing me trouble again would be futile.
I finally caught my breath and started thinking about my future.
This can't go on forever. Am I, someone who rose to power by 'lying down', destined to starve if I don't work hard?
So, for the rest of my life, I'll have to keep moving and working. Otherwise, I'll starve to death, right?
Am I, someone who has achieved great success through lying down, going to pay the price of having no free time for the rest of my life?
I once thought that this might be a punishment for taking shortcuts.
However, I was still quite fixated on lying flat. I started looking for ways to help me escape this predicament of 'not being able to stop'.
Persistence pays off, and I actually found a method.
That is—opening a shop and doing business!
Yes, I've discovered that ghost money is a very good thing. Everyone in Hell, regardless of their level, is eager to get their hands on it.
I suddenly had a thought: if that's the case, would those top experts also be willing to use their innate evil energy to exchange for ghost money?
"As long as you have enough ghost money, you can buy your innate evil energy directly from them."
Hearing the words of the Time and Space Sovereign, Chen Mu couldn't help but admire how creative all sorts of creatures were, in order to make things a little easier.
The Supreme Being of Time and Space actually thought of using ghost money to buy other people's innate evil energy.
It should be noted that for top-tier experts, ghost money is considered an integral part of themselves.
If we calculate it this way, wouldn't those top experts be selling themselves for money?
However, upon reflection, Chen Mu realized that for a powerful individual who was extremely short of ghost money, it might not be impossible.
The Lord of Time and Space said, "After I thought of this, I began to take action."
Based on my strengths, I decided to start with space and open a company that could transport goods.
This was the predecessor of the Underworld Post Office, which was specifically used for transporting goods.
I started using these to earn a little money for myself.
The later Underworld Post Office was my creation. I recruited employees and gradually built up my own power.
With the money I earned from the Underworld Post Office, I was actually able to buy some of my own innate ghost energy from other ghost masters and ghost lords.
In this way, I won't have to run around every day.
You only need to buy your innate aura every now and then.
It was through this method that I truly established my own power in hell.
My power grew, and I gradually monopolized the work of delivering mail and letters in Hell. My logistics network began to spread throughout the entire Hell.
Later I heard that the Supreme Being of the Deceptive Path also secretly had his subordinates use my logistics network to send them goods.
Perhaps the Supreme Being of the Deceptive Path realized that I had already gained enough influence to be eradicated. Moreover, my logistics network was indeed very efficient and inexpensive.
However, the Supreme Being of the Deceptive Path has always been at odds with me. We haven't seen each other since our last great battle.
The Supreme Being of Time and Space gave Chen Mu a brief account of his journey from birth to rise to power.
As Chen Mu listened, he was quite moved. The world is truly vast and full of wonders.
The Supreme Master of Deceitful Paths has schemed his whole life, only to be betrayed by his own sect?
Moreover, from the description of the Time and Space Sovereign, Chen Mu could also sense that the Ghost Sovereign was not someone that the Ghost Dao Supreme could easily manipulate.
My previous thought that the Supreme Being of the Deceptive Path could create a Deceptive Being was even more absurd.
Despite expending tremendous effort, the Supreme Being of the Deceptive Path couldn't completely eliminate the Time-Space Sovereign who had achieved the highest level of power. He was in a state of "I can kill you, but I can't kill you."
Ultimately, due to cost issues, they became hidden clients of Time and Space Master.
"So this relationship continued until Hell split apart?" Chen Mu asked.
The Lord of Time and Space said, "That's right. Until recently, the Supreme Being of the Deceptive Path split Hell. The entire Hell disintegrated and was split into ten pieces."
However, Mr. Chen, I won't lie to you, the Shattering of Hell wasn't just done by the Supreme Demonic Path. He was severely injured at the time, so he couldn't have completed it on his own.
Actually... I was also involved in the shattering of Hell.
Xiaoye was somewhat surprised by these words.
Chen Mu was alright; it was unexpected yet reasonable.
After all, the Demon Lord before them was a powerful figure associated with controlling space. It was quite normal for him to be involved in shattering the Hell space.
"You mean, you've partnered with the Supreme Being of the Demonic Path?" Xiao Ye asked.
The Lord of Time and Space said, "Yes and no. More accurately, it's an exchange of benefits."
The Supreme Being of the Deceptive Path found me, hoping I could help him destroy Hell and split it into fragments.
In return, our past grievances are wiped clean. The Supreme Master of the Deceptive Path promised me that he would not cause me any more trouble.
However, hell is full of deceit and treachery, so such verbal promises cannot be trusted.
What truly moved me was the concrete action. According to the description of the Supreme Deceptive Path, after Hell was divided into ten pieces, I, as the Supreme Deceptive Path, could naturally seize one piece.
Since Hell no longer exists, I can now roam freely, escape Hell, and completely leave the sphere of influence of the Supreme Demon Lord.
This realistic future is what truly moves me.
So, in order to get rid of the shackles of the Supreme Being of the Deceptive Path once and for all, I joined forces with the Supreme Being of the Deceptive Path and began the shattering of Hell.
The entire hell split into ten pieces, and I took my own piece and escaped the clutches of the Supreme Being of the Devil's Way.
To prevent the Supreme Being of the Demonic Path from finding me, I set the location of the eerie scene in a remote part of outer space.
Furthermore, I've enhanced the concealment of the entrance. I even created a prerequisite quest called "Death Postman" to block the Supreme Being of the Devious Path.
What happened later actually matched the promise of the Supreme Being of the Deceptive Path.
He really didn't cause me any trouble, and I lived peacefully here with my men.
However, this kind of life was not as wonderful as I had imagined.
Fewer and fewer people are subscribing to the newspaper. Our income is also decreasing, and we have less and less of the innate magical energy we can exchange for.
In order to maintain my own existence, I have to enter a state of hibernation. This will minimize the consumption of my innate evil energy.
I slumber in the Underworld Post Office, and only my trusted confidant, Weird, can awaken me.
Besides that, there is another way for me to awaken: someone clears the [Underworld Post Office].
"Mr. Chen, I sensed your arrival as soon as you cleared the eerie scene, and awoke from my hibernation to appear before you."
