Inside Zhao Li's Sea of Consciousness, Nine Nether felt like they were finished.
Although they were skilled at calculating human hearts, they could never have predicted such a variable as Zhao Li, who not only defied the heavens to Become Emperor in an era where it was impossible but also took a huge step beyond Dou Di.
Because they misjudged Zhao Li's Strength, they were done for. In the face of absolute power, no matter how much they calculated, it was useless.
But the instinct for survival prevented them from giving up just yet.
"I can't be caught by him, otherwise his Seal ability will definitely be no less than that Mountain Range that has accumulated Death Qi for countless years!"
Facing Zhao Li's seemingly light palm, Nine Nether's hairs stood on end, and a thought echoed in their mind, reminding them over and over.
It was precisely because they were a Heavenly Supreme themselves that they understood even more clearly that a true Heavenly Supreme's methods were simply something they, with only a Remnant Soul left, could not withstand!
In the face of life and death, they didn't care about the Soul Imprint. With a thought, they still used their race's Talent, and a visible, yet unstoppable and unavoidable Black Qi shot towards Zhao Li.
Zhao Li was startled and didn't dare to be careless. He wasn't arrogant enough to ignore the methods of a Heavenly Supreme, even if that Heavenly Supreme was a thing of the past.
He focused most of his attention on this strange Black Qi, and his hand movements paused, allowing Nine Nether to narrowly escape the range of his Seal.
Clearly condensed from a Soul, yet after escaping Zhao Li's palm, Nine Nether still gasped for air, and something resembling sweat even appeared on their forehead.
Then, they saw that Black Mist ignore all of Zhao Li's defensive measures and enter his Sea of Consciousness. Seeing this, their lips couldn't help but curl up, and a chilling smile appeared.
"You've lost your only chance to kill me. Now, just obediently become my Puppet!"
Their words were like a declaration, as if controlling Zhao Li was as simple as an unparalleled thief reaching into a pocket for something.
Before the words even finished, their form turned into nothingness, having already used that Secret Technique to escape into Zhao Li's Sea of Consciousness, preparing to refine Zhao Li's Soul, then inherit this nearly perfect body and take its place!
Inside Zhao Li's Sea of Consciousness, Nine Nether suddenly emerged from that wisp of Black Mist, their smug expression still lingering on their face.
But then, their smile froze on their face, and a mix of shock and disbelief appeared on their features. The changes in expression were particularly spectacular.
"How is this possible! Are you a human or a ghost?"
Nine Nether looked at Zhao Li, who was sitting cross-legged in the Sea of Consciousness like the Dominator of the world, and exclaimed.
They were broken. The Soul Imprint they thought they had planted silently was now being played with in Zhao Li's hand.
Zhao Li also didn't expect them to walk right into the Net. If they were outside, limited by heaven and earth, the Strength he could exert might not necessarily be enough to suppress them and make them nourishment for his Inner Universe's evolution. But here, this was his home ground. It was no exaggeration to say he was the Dominator of this place.
"Since you're so impatient, I can't very well refuse your kindness. Come on!"
Zhao Li chuckled. Immediately after, a mass of Chaos Energy appeared from his Soul, as if he had put on a special garment.
After that strange energy appeared, those few Soul Imprints began to melt like snowflakes meeting warm sunlight. In no time, they completely vanished without a trace!
Nine Nether despaired. Their biggest trump card, in Zhao Li's eyes, was nothing.
After finally escaping one prison, they had entered a new one. Even with their Heavenly Supreme Temperament, they were somewhat on the verge of collapse at this moment, and their Soul, which was already close to dissipating, also showed signs of disintegration.
Seeing this, how could Zhao Li let go of such a good resource? With a thought, his Sea of Consciousness seemed to have been put on pause. Whether it was the surging Soul power or the disintegrating Nine Nether, everything was still at this moment. The only one who could move was Zhao Li.
Zhao Li reached out and grabbed the powerless Nine Nether, then let the Chaos Energy envelop Nine Nether and dissipate within his body.
Of course, this wasn't true dissipation. They had returned to where Zhao Li's original Qi Sea was located, but now, this place had become a universe, albeit nascent, with a doomsday appearance.
"Just in time, the Underworld has just been established and needs massive energy. You can make do and stay there for now. Hmm, just in case you feel unfamiliar, I've moved this thing over for you too."
Zhao Li threw Nine Nether into the Underworld, suppressing them under the slowly rotating Wheel of Life and Death. Then, with a large grasp, the Grand Formation based on the Death Mountain Range fell onto Nine Nether.
"I'm not reconciled!"
Beneath the Underworld, Nine Nether went mad, constantly hitting the Seal, but couldn't even stir up a ripple.
Not long after, they calmed down and stopped, not dissipating just yet.
If they had accepted death, they wouldn't have held on until now, and they wouldn't have been moved by Zhao Li because of a possibility of resurrection.
Zhao Li ignored Nine Nether. Anyway, in his Inner Universe, even if Nine Nether disintegrated, the energy within wouldn't be wasted. He looked at the Grand Formation and felt something was wrong. This Grand Formation not only occupied a large amount of Space but also wasn't very aesthetically pleasing. He couldn't help but mutter:
"Hmm, the Underworld would look better with a river."
With this thought, he slammed his palm down, and the entire Underworld sank. The Death Mountain Range sank even further beneath the Underworld, leaving only the ridges visible. From a distance, it really looked like a wandering black river!
"I always feel like something is missing. Right, these Obsessions can also go home."
Zhao Li saw that although it resembled a river, it didn't flow at all, and felt something was off. Suddenly, he remembered the Obsessions he had forcibly taken. Since they had stayed in this Death Mountain for countless years, it wouldn't be bad for them to go back now.
Moreover, here, there was also the scattered Reincarnation aura. Perhaps one day, it could awaken their consciousness and give them a chance to re-enter Reincarnation.
Thus, numerous Obsessions surged into the Death Mountain, once again transforming into that strange state and wandering within, flowing like a Torrent.
Seeing this, Zhao Li nodded and gave it a name:
"This river shall be called the River of Forgetfulness."
Clearly, he was very satisfied with the River of Forgetfulness he had personally created.
His world, he was the master. At least before life was born, he didn't mind letting it evolve in the direction he desired.
As for the birth of life, Zhao Li didn't dare to think about it for a very long time. And by then, he might have already built the雏形 of the Three Realms he envisioned. At that time, the birth of life would be left to them to figure out, and he would just become a fisherman high up in the clouds.
Seeing this place slowly and steadily evolving, Zhao Li couldn't help but fantasize about the future. After a long time, he finally withdrew his thoughts and looked at The Void, sighing in his heart:
"I didn't expect that after fighting with the World Will, I would actually become a Heavenly Supreme. Hmm, perhaps I was only a Quasi Heavenly Supreme at that time. The true becoming of a Heavenly Supreme should have been after the Empress Earth Deity condensed."
He recalled the changes he had undergone during this period. It seemed everything started from the Xiao Family's 'Dao Confluence' struggle, Breaking the Cauldrons and Sinking the Boats. In just over a year, he had successively condensed two extremely important Deities, causing his Strength to soar.
The powerful Strength gave Zhao Li ample Confidence, and he accepted his own vulgarity. For various reasons, his usually suppressed and restrained heart became active:
"No matter when I stepped into the Heavenly Supreme realm, in this world, there is nothing that can restrict me anymore. Since that's the case, I don't need to worry about anything anymore. Let's boldly cause some trouble!"
