Xu Zimei and his companions departed the Star Burst Field as it collapsed, creating a void in the cosmos before its regenerative power restored it. Meanwhile, the Nine Nether Dragon General arrived with his army from Pluto Star, seeking to address the invasion of the Giant World. Discovering the Giant World and the Nine Domains World are gone, replaced by the Divine Continent, he becomes cautious and awaits further instructions. He is then approached by Zhu Baihu from the Demonic Spirit World, who invites him to meet with their State Preceptor.

The State Preceptor glanced at the other party.

With a smile, he invited the Nine Dragons Underworld General to sit down.

Then he said, "Many years ago, I was an old acquaintance of your Nether King."

"It's just that now we're so far apart, and it's been a while since we last made contact."

The State Preceptor spoke these words indeed to strengthen their relationship.

His words were true.

He and the Nether King were once people of the same era.

They used to cultivate together, and even ventured together for a time.

Unfortunately, later, the State Preceptor rose to a high position and entered the Demonic Spirit World.

While the Nether King became even more formidable, directly dominating a large world.

One could say that both the Nether King and the State Preceptor now stand above the higher worlds of the Cosmic.

"Although Pluto Star is close to the Extreme West Region, the name of the Demonic Spirit World is still often heard."

The Nine Dragons Underworld General chuckled, as if the atmosphere between him and the State Preceptor had been smoothly opened.

Only to hear the State Preceptor say, "Since that's the case, then let's get to the main topic."

"Pluto Star is too far away from here, and many recent events may not be well understood."

"Whatever you want to know, I can tell you."

"Because I believe we have the same enemy between us."

"Divine Continent," the Nine Dragons Underworld General said eagerly.

He exchanged views with the State Preceptor and learned the origins of Divine Continent.

Of course, the State Preceptor did not hide his intentions.

The reason he helped the Nine Dragons Underworld General was that there was an absolute conflict of interest between the Demonic Spirit World and Divine Continent.

Previously, the Elken Basin.

Xu Zimei ordered his men to forcefully extract resources.

Although the basin is quite large, the cosmic ore produced in it won't be depleted in a short time.

But for the Demonic Spirit World, it has always regarded the Elken Basin as private property.

Now that other forces have intervened, how could they willingly accept it?

So during this period, the conflicts in the Elken Basin between Divine Continent and the Demonic Spirit World have grown increasingly large.

From originally small skirmishes, it has escalated to small-scale battles.

The State Preceptor has no doubt.

If it continues to develop like this, then sooner or later, there will be a great decisive battle between the two worlds.

Moreover, there are other large worlds around that are watching with keen interest.

So the State Preceptor wants to bring Pluto Star into the fold.

When the time comes, the power of the two large worlds jointly will force Divine Continent to yield.

This is the State Preceptor's ultimate goal.

After all, if a real conflict occurs between the two worlds, regardless of victory or defeat, it would be a huge disaster for both.

Only by utilizing power to compel the enemy without a fight can the goal be achieved.

This is the best approach.

At this moment, understanding the State Preceptor's intention, the Nine Dragons Underworld General fell into silence.

The matter is too great.

Waging war against a large world is not something he can decide.

Not even Black Nether Emperor behind him could make the call.

It requires the command of the Nether King.

Of course, there was one thing the Nine Dragons Underworld General had not told anyone.

That is, he can directly communicate with Black Nether Emperor.

Unlike others, who need multiple passes to relay messages to Pluto Star.

This is because the Nine Dragons Underworld General carries something directly connected to the Heavenly Dao of Pluto Star.

He won't use it casually.

The cost of creating such a thing is exceedingly high.

Furthermore, it poses certain risks to the Heavenly Dao.

Hence, for things this important, one cannot acquire them unless they are core members.

After conversing with the State Preceptor, the Nine Dragons Underworld General returned to the arranged guest room.

He took out a white Jade Pendant.

With both hands, he quickly formed seals.

These seals are akin to a key to activate.

If any step goes wrong, the Jade Pendant will immediately self-destruct.

Once all the seals were formed, the Jade Pendant emitted a black glow.

Like a projection, the figure opposite him gradually emerged.

"Greetings, Black Nether Emperor," the Nine Dragons Underworld General hastily paid his respects upon seeing the figure shrouded in black mist.

"Make it short, what's so urgent that you activated the Heavenly Dao Jade Pendant," Black Nether Emperor said blandly.

The Nine Dragons Underworld General did not dare delay.

He succinctly reported the situation there.

"That's the situation, I hope Black Nether Emperor will issue commands."

"What should we do next?"

Black Nether Emperor paused for a moment in silence.

As if communicating with a certain figure in the black mist.

After a long time, he finally said.

"Wait for me for three days, I will come via the fastest Will of the World Bridge."

"Regarding you and the Demonic Spirit World, we can participate in this affair, but you must grant us a medium-sized world."

In this matter, the Demonic Spirit World and Pluto Star are different.

Pluto Star sent people here for the sake of face.

The Demonic Spirit World, however, is here for tangible benefits.

Thus, the demands differ, with Pluto Star clearly having a superior position.

So they proposed their conditions.

It's important to know that previously, as a large world in the Extreme East area, it was not permissible for large worlds from other places to extend their reach into this territory.

After all, resources are limited, and they themselves do not have enough to share, let alone let outsiders interfere.

It is precisely because of this.

Pluto Star previously had only the Giant World, a small world here.

Their power could not expand.

But now, Black Nether Emperor hopes the Demonic Spirit World can open a path.

To move from ruling a small world to now a medium-sized world.

Slowly encroaching step by step.

The Nine Dragons Underworld General also agreed with Black Nether Emperor's words.

Thus, he quickly conveyed the matter to the State Preceptor.

This is the bottom line; absolutely no compromise is allowed.

Though the State Preceptor and others felt somewhat uncomfortable inside, considering the Elken Basin and future issues, they eventually agreed.

An Elken Basin is not a big deal.

But if Xu Zimei continues to act increasingly arrogant, interfering in everything.

What should the Demonic Spirit World do?

Neither fighting nor yielding seemed viable.

So at the first sign of this trend, the Demonic Spirit World sought to nip this issue in the bud.

They will not allow the sphere of influence of Divine Continent to continue expanding toward the Demonic Spirit World.

...…

At this moment, Xu Zimei and others finally returned to Divine Continent.

The Demon Noble led Quan Shan to meet the strong figures from the Demon Race and finalized the business of building the Will Bridge between the two worlds.

Whereas Xu Zimei, with Chong Wu, toured Divine Continent.

"To be honest, for a self-created world like yours to develop to such a scale is exceedingly rare."

Chong Wu couldn't help but sigh.

"Do you have any suggestions?" Xu Zimei asked.

Chong Wu, experienced and knowledgeable, has seen much more in the Cosmic than Xu Zimei.

Chong Wu thought for a moment.

He advised Xu Zimei: "I have been to several Giant Worlds and know your plans.

But you must remember."

"A Giant World is not something that can be easily promoted."

"The foundation and accumulation it requires are unimaginably vast and terrifying."
