Under a surprise attack, Electrolux had no confidence in taking out even half of the eight opponents, let alone severely wounding them.
But once they were inside this world, everything was under Electrolux's control.
Though this undead plane was still incomplete, its alignment with his divine power allowed Electrolux to make Tang Wulin's group relive the terror of being utterly crushed by a superior force.
For the living, death was an inherently ominous concept.
This applied even to the gods who stood above the clouds.
Their divine status made them instinctively repulsed by such things, which they deemed as waste meant for the cycle of reincarnation.
The newly emerged undead were pitifully weak, at best comparable to human Soul Sages. After instinctively retaliating, Tang Wulin's group realized this laughable fact.
A bunch of weaklings putting on such a grand display—it was almost comical how much they had been frightened.
Yet, despite their weakness, the overwhelming tide of undead still sent shivers down Tang Wulin's group's spines.
Divine energy wasn't infinite—even for gods. Once depleted, they either had to refine faith energy from the air or connect with the faith stored in their personal divine temples.
Ironically, among the eight present, only Tang Wulin, Xuan Zi, and Elder Song possessed divine temples linked to their own faith pools.
The latter two owed their faith to Dai Mu Bai's efforts. Without The Legend of Shrek's Seven Monsters and Shrek Academy's relentless promotion over the years, who in the Douluo Continent would have heard of the God of Speed or the God of War?
Thanks to this steady source of faith, after the initial shock of being pulled into this small world, they quickly noticed that their connection to their divine temples had been severed.
At this moment, the eight were like rootless driftwood.
Even though the undead were weak and their divine attacks feeble, once their divine energy was depleted, even these noble godly beings would be reduced to lambs awaiting slaughter.
Gradually, Tang Wulin's group stopped using divine energy in their counterattacks, relying instead on physical combat.
But if they couldn't find a way to escape this world, their fate was clear—they would be slowly worn down to death.
In the God Realm, Tang San watched Tang Wulin's group struggle and became utterly enraged. He stood up abruptly and declared:
"God of Destruction, this Death God is wielding power far beyond what a god at his stage should possess. I strongly protest that he is violating the rules. I now formally request the God Realm Council to investigate him!"
The God of Destruction suppressed his joy, growing increasingly satisfied with both the God of Death and Ye Wen. With these two newcomers, the future prosperity of the God Realm was assured.
As for investigating Electrolux at Tang San's request?
The God of Destruction inwardly sneered, silently cursing Tang San's transparent scheming—something everyone present could see through. Still, he went through the motions, calmly responding:
"This new god has not violated any rules. This small world is his own creation, and we in the God Realm have no authority to interfere.
If there is to be interference, it will happen during the next God Realm Assembly. After all, he has merely discovered our location and is not yet an official member.
Furthermore, I hope you remember this, Enforcer Tang San.
The rules of the God Realm are meant for those within it, especially those who inherit divine positions. Having benefited from their predecessors' legacies, they must uphold and maintain the rules of the God Realm; otherwise, chaos would reign below.
As for Electrolux, a new god who has not enjoyed the benefits of the God Realm, we have no right to interfere with him."
By the end of his statement, the God of Destruction's implications were clear.
Tang San trembled with barely contained fury! What was wrong with those who inherited divine positions? Did inheriting a divine position automatically make them inferior to those who created their own?
Of course, Tang San didn't voice these thoughts. Instead, he sat back down with a darkened expression.
Ye Wen glanced at Tang San, then dismissed him entirely, focusing intently on the screen.
Those who relied solely on inherited legacies were destined to decline sooner or later. After all, talented individuals always emerged to take their place.
The world never lacked geniuses.
Though Ye Wen himself didn't count, Electrolux had once been the Plague of Undeath in his original world—a top-tier powerhouse with the iconic line: "Grasping the sun and moon, plucking the stars, none in this world compare to me."
To put it bluntly, it was an honor for Tang Wulin's group to be trounced by a genius of Electrolux's caliber!
As someone who was both Electrolux's mentor and friend, Ye Wen knew Electrolux wasn't truly going all out. Otherwise, at least half of Tang Wulin's group would already be lost.
Even so, without fully committing, the undead creatures Electrolux summoned were growing stronger by the moment. By now, even Divine Official-level undead had appeared.
Tang Wulin angrily impaled a Divine Official-level undead hidden among the weaker ones, cursing under his breath:
"Damn it! Isn't this supposed to be an incomplete undead world? Why are there divine-level undead creatures?"
In a naturally formed undead world, incomplete rules would prevent the emergence of divine-level undead.
But this undead world was Electrolux's creation, and these undead were his followers. As long as their life essence was sufficient and infused with a touch of divine energy, ordinary peak lifeforms could easily evolve into divine-level beings.
It was worth thanking the notorious Holy Spirit Sect for their wicked deeds. Without these despicable souls, Electrolux wouldn't have been able to acquire so many Title Douluo-level undead so easily.
First, he rewarded these wicked undead with divine energy, raising them to Limit Douluo levels. Then, he used concentrated divine energy to transform their essence.
Just like that, divine-level undead were born!
Having spent time with Ye Wen, Electrolux had also picked up some sneaky tactics.
Ordinarily, these divine-level undead wouldn't pose a significant threat to Tang Wulin's group. But interspersing them among weaker undead created unexpected surprises.
For a time, Tang Wulin's group was overwhelmed by ambushes!
Though they managed to kill a dozen or so divine-level undead from the Holy Spirit Sect, Tang Wulin's group's divine energy reserves were becoming increasingly precarious.
Unfortunately, none of them had any means to escape this closed-off demi-plane.
After all, this undead world wasn't like the Douluo Continent, where breaking the sound barrier could create spatial cracks.
With Electrolux covertly maintaining the stability of this world's space, even a collective burst of attacks from Tang Wulin's group on a single point couldn't breach the spatial barrier.
But Tang Wulin still had an ace up his sleeve.
Staring at the gleaming golden Sea God Trident in his hand, Tang Wulin's eyes were filled with internal conflict.
