Chapter 543: Zhongli Wu's Revenge
As Huo Yuhao pondered, doubts filled his heart.
Given Tang San's nature taking every advantage possible why hadn't he acted on the First Phoenix God's corpse to extract the power of Genesis Creation?
If he could obtain Genesis Creation from the Phoenix God's remains, it would be an immense gain for him.
After all, according to the Dragon God's lore, Destruction and Genesis Creation were the two most fundamental forces of the universe. Even if one could only acquire Genesis Creation, its value would be immeasurable.
Even if Tang San couldn't use it himself, he could pass it down to his descendants.
Something was off.
Huo Yuhao couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.
But no matter how much he analyzed the details from the original story, he couldn't figure out why Tang San hadn't targeted the First Phoenix God's corpse.
Since the Soul Wind posed an imminent threat, he decided to set aside this mystery for the time being and revisit it in the future.
Soon, with Electrolux's help, Huo Yuhao began contracting the souls of Spirit Hall's fallen soul masters and the Angel Clan's souls, preventing any possibility of betrayal.
Unlike Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, these souls weren't powerful enough to require a sub fire imprint.
Moments later, Huo Yuhao channeled his spiritual energy into Electrolux, helping him "replenish his mana".
Then, Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, the fallen Spirit Hall soul masters, and the Angel Clan souls were all brought out of the Netherworld, returning to the Douluo Plane.
A flash of white light filled the room as countless souls appeared before Ye Guyi's eyes.
She froze, thinking she must be hallucinating.
Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes, then opened them again the spirits were still there.
Many Angel Clan souls, with their wings outstretched, were looking at Ye Guyi with excited expressions.
Ye Guyi had never been the center of so much attention from the Angel Clan before, making her somewhat uncomfortable.
She turned to the soul at the center Huo Yuhao and asked:
"Tower Master? These are the spirits of Bibi Dong, the Angel Clan, and the Spirit Hall soul masters you and Qian Renxue mentioned earlier?"
"Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded.
"Don't worry, they won't harm you. Especially the Angel Clan souls one day, they will be under your command. After all, you are the future Angel God."
Before Qian Renxue returned to the Netherworld, she had already informed the souls that she would be helping Ye Guyi become the next Angel God.
So, instead of objecting, these souls began praising Ye Guyi.
After all, Qian Renxue was once the Angel God, the granddaughter of the Great Worshipper Qian Daoliu, and she held immense prestige among both the Angel Clan and the Spirit Hall soul masters who had devoted themselves to the Angel God.
Furthermore, after ten thousand years of suffering in the Netherworld, these souls' hatred for Tang San had only grown deeper.
If Ye Guyi's Angel God potential could truly surpass Qian Renxue's, it would be a great advantage in their revenge against Tang San.
Huo Yuhao turned to Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, saying:
"To forge a divine seat, you need faith power. However, whether it's the Angel God or the Rakshasa God, their faith in the Douluo Plane has dwindled to an extremely weak state.
"The Angel God still has an advantage at least some Angel Clan soul masters remain devoted. But even so, the situation is far from ideal."
"Therefore, the best way to forge these divine seats is to use my organization, the Spirit Pagoda, to secretly amass faith power over time.
"However, after ten thousand years of relentless propaganda by Shrek Academy, both the Angel God and the Rakshasa God have been thoroughly vilified.
"Even with my help, gathering faith power for these divine seats will not be easy."
Qian Renxue was not surprised that the Angel God and Rakshasa God had bad reputations.
After all, many Angel Clan soul masters had entered the Netherworld over the millennia, and she had learned from them about how Shrek Academy had slandered their faiths.
Still, she was puzzled:
"I know people call you Tower Master, but… are you the master of the Spirit Pagoda?"
"Yes."
"Is the Spirit Pagoda really that influential?" Qian Renxue looked uncertain.
Huo Yuhao smiled. "Of course. You may not fully understand what the Spirit Pagoda is, but let me explain…"
He then outlined the Spirit Pagoda's system of Spirit Souls, its achievements, its vast influence, and even its involvement in forging techniques.
After listening, Qian Renxue was full of admiration.
"I see… Spirit Souls and forging are indeed extraordinary achievements. No wonder the Spirit Pagoda holds such immense influence."
After further discussing strategies on how to use the Spirit Pagoda's vast network to accumulate faith, Huo Yuhao explained the benefits of becoming undead.
Then, he sent Bibi Dong and the other spirits into the Necromancer Half Plane, beginning their undead transformation.
Meanwhile, in the Dou Spirit Empire…
In a city under its control, a bloodied corpse was thrown to the ground with a sickening thud.
Blood pooled, and the stench of iron filled the air.
Zhongli Wu extended his hand, gripping the air.
A semi transparent, agonized soul was pulled from the body.
Zhongli Wu's expression remained indifferent as he said:
"A mere Shrek Academy surveillance officer a mere Soul Douluo thought he could stop me from killing the families of Shrek students?"
"Foolish. You wanted to be a hero? Being a hero isn't that easy. Without strength, blind courage is worthless.
"From now on, you will serve as one of my vengeful spirits."
Nearby, dozens of terrified soul masters and civilians watched in horror, paralyzed with fear.
Several mutilated bodies lay nearby all of them family members of Shrek students.
Zhongli Wu grinned cruelly and declared:
"I am Zhongli Wu, the Holy Spirit Cult's leader. I have slaughtered countless family members of Shrek Academy students!
"Let me make one thing clear
Anyone associated with Shrek Academy will suffer the full wrath of the Holy Spirit Cult!"
This was his revenge against Shrek Academy.
Shrek Academy prided itself on righteousness, but it had made several moves to suppress the Holy Spirit Cult, even rescuing captives from his grasp.
This had filled him with unrelenting fury.
Since Shrek Academy had acted so ruthlessly, he saw no reason to hold back.
Among the three great empires and Shrek Academy, the only one Zhongli Wu feared was Long Xiaoyao the Dragon God Douluo.
As long as he avoided Long Xiaoyao, he believed he was unstoppable in this region.
Moreover, because he constantly moved from city to city, killing and then fleeing, Shrek Academy's forces struggled to track him down.
Letting the captives go free was part of his strategy.
They would spread fear and resentment, ensuring that word of his actions would reach Shrek Academy and beyond.
The result? Shrek students and their families would live in constant fear.
