Qin Chen gasped in shock. The Demon Tribe actually intended to recreate a Netherworld within the Demon Realm? This... was such an enormous ambition.
"Can this succeed?"
Qin Chen focused his gaze and saw the rolling death energy surging within the Netherworld. The bodies of the powerful beings that had fallen from the Yin-Yang Whirlpool were constantly being crushed, their death and soul energy devoured by the whirlpool, strengthening its own power.
"It might be difficult..." The Primordial Ancestral Dragon sneered, "If creating a Netherworld were that easy, it wouldn't be a Netherworld. The cycle of life and death is a matter of the heavenly dao. What the Demon Tribe is doing is fighting against the heavenly dao, how could they easily succeed?"
"Aren't the Demon Tribe always fighting against the heavenly dao?"
Qin Chen scoffed, "Since they collaborated with the Dark Clan and invaded this universe, they have already violated the will of the origin of the universe and are opposing it."
"That's different."
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon shook his head, "Collaborating with dark forces and invading the universe is opposing the will of the origin of the universe, but creating an entirely new Netherworld is not just opposing the origin of the universe, it is also opposing the heavenly dao of this Demon Realm."
"Opposing the heavenly dao of the Demon Realm?"
"Yes, look closely. As the Yin-Yang Whirlpool continuously absorbs the power of the Demon Tribe, is it not also devouring the strength of this world?
And this power is actually the power of this Demon Realm."
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon sneered, "To form a Netherworld in this realm, what is needed is the primordial power. The origin of the universe is extremely difficult to devour, so they can only absorb the origin of this Demon Realm.
Therefore, if the Demon Tribe wants to create a new Netherworld here, they can only continue to weaken the heavenly dao of this Demon Realm. When the Netherworld truly takes shape, this Demon Realm will likely also disappear."
"Are you saying the Demon Tribe wants to transform the Demon Realm into a Netherworld?"
Qin Chen took a deep breath, his gaze horrified.
This shocked him. He understood the words of the Primordial Ancestral Dragon; this Demon Realm was equivalent to the heavenly realm. To evolve a Netherworld required primordial power, and since the origin of the universe couldn't be drawn upon, they had to draw from the origin of the Demon Realm.
"But then, what benefit is that to the Demon Tribe?"
Qin Chen said incredulously.
The Demon Realm was the foundation of the Demon Tribe's existence. Once the Demon Realm was destroyed, the Demon Tribe would have nowhere to rely on and would be forced to wander outside. Even if a Netherworld were created, what would be the point?
"Moreover..."
Qin Chen carefully observed the Netherworld before him, where the rolling power surged. Countless powerful beings of the Demon Tribe were falling, their primordial power and souls consumed by the Yin-Yang Whirlpool, leaving behind only fragments of their souls, aimlessly drifting.
This was equivalent to exploiting the entire powerful beings of the Demon Realm to nourish this Netherworld.
However, one must know that the cycle of the heavenly dao actually requires both input and output.
For instance, a powerful being absorbing the strength of heaven and earth can make themselves stronger, and once a venerable level being falls, their primordial power will also return to heaven and earth, strengthening it.
With such a cycle, powerful beings will continuously be born in the world, and similarly, there will be a continuous emergence of powerful beings in the Demon Realm.
But now, if the Demon Ancestor were to create a Netherworld and prevent the primordial powers of all the fallen beings in the Chaos God Demon Sea from returning to heaven and earth, instead letting them be absorbed by this Netherworld, in the long run, the Demon Realm would absorb no power, leading to one inevitable result.
