Chapter 1081

The Underworld River was the Underworld Emperor's personal weapon. It was a divine object born from the Origin of the Underworld. The two were inextricably linked.

Gu Chen had the Origin of the Underworld in his body, so he made a bold attempt. He didn't expect the Underworld River to acknowledge him.

The Underworld River circled around him and quickly established a mental connection with Gu Chen. Gu Chen discovered that his control over the Underworld River was far greater than his control over the Underworld Sword.

Obviously, this was due to the Origin of the Underworld in his body. The Underworld River was extremely intelligent. After acknowledging him as its new master, it willingly followed his orders.

Feeling the connection between him and the Underworld River, Gu Chen was overjoyed.

This was a powerful defensive weapon. If it weren't for the Heavenvoid Cauldron, he would have been helpless against it.

And now, this Imperial Armament was his. This caused his strength to increase by quite a bit.

Gu Chen reached out and touched the Underworld River. Its aura was abnormally cold, but it couldn't hurt him.

Seeing him easily control the Underworld River, Ye Fei and the Underworld Kings were the most moved. They looked at each other and made the same decision in the next moment.

"O 'Overlord, please accept our obeisance. We are willing to follow you with our lives!"

They knelt down in unison, their faces serious and solemn.

Gu Chen didn't speak when he heard this. He made the Underworld River shrink and played with it on his fingertips. He was deep in thought.

He wasn't surprised by the reactions of Ye Fei and the others.

Now that the Underworld Emperor was dead and the Underworld Realm had collapsed, they had nowhere to go. They naturally had to find a new master.

He had saved their lives, killed the Underworld Emperor, and subdued the Underworld River. He was obviously the wisest person to rely on.

Since Gu Chen had asked Ye Fei to rely on him before, he wouldn't abandon them now.

"It's not that I can't take you in, but I need you to do something."

Ye Fei and the others were overjoyed and hurriedly asked what it was.

"There are hundreds of thousands of blood cocoons in the Underworld River. Most of the cultivators inside have already died, but some still show signs of life. I plan to release them. As for what to do next, do you understand? "

Gu Chen said indifferently as he played with the snake that the Nether River had transformed into.

"There's still someone alive in our Nether Realm?" Ye Fei and the others were greatly shocked, then almost went wild with joy.

The collapse of the Nether Realm was a huge blow to them. After all, this was their home. Now that they knew that they weren't the only survivors, they were naturally overjoyed.

"That's right. Do you know what to do?"

Gu Chen nodded. The Underworld Emperor came out of the world forcibly because of his interruption, so he didn't have enough time to absorb all of the blood cocoon.

He could sense that some of the people in the blood cocoons were unconscious and could still be saved.

There were tens of thousands of such cultivators, and if they were all saved, the Nether Realm would still be considered a major power even though its vitality would be greatly damaged.

What Gu Chen valued the most wasn't this, but the intelligence network that the Nether Realm had built over a million years.

In the Milky Way Star Field, although he had taken in a few bandit legions to act as informants, in terms of intelligence gathering ability, how could they compare to the Nether Realm?

As a powerful dark power, the Nether Realm's spies were spread across the Ninth Realm's twelve star fields. They could play a huge role in his future plans.

"We understand, my lord. We will convince all the members. From now on, you are our emperor!"

Ye Fei hurriedly expressed his loyalty. The others also nodded.

"Very good. It's good that you know that the Nether Realm will be used by me from now on. But after I save them, don't tell them about me."

Gu Chen's words confused them.

"Please enlighten me, my lord," Ye Fei said respectfully.

"The Nether Realm will be used by me in secret, but on the surface, you will still belong to the Underworld Emperor. As the upper echelons of the Nether Realm, it's enough for you to remember this. As for the other members, in order to prevent the news from leaking, don't let them know. "

Gu Chen explained.

"But the Underworld Emperor is already dead, and so many of our Nether Realm's people have died. This matter can't be concealed any longer. Sooner or later, everyone will know."

Ye Fei's face was full of worry. Although the Nether Realm was located in a remote area and the news of the previous battle might not spread, with so many people dead, any power with a keen spiritual sense would quickly find out.

If they didn't have the support of the Overlord's name, they would be at the mercy of others.

"I want people to know about this."

Gu Chen's lips curled into a cold smile. "Although the Nether Realm has suffered great losses, the foundation it has accumulated over the years cannot be ignored. There will definitely be people who want to subdue you. At that time, you can pretend to surrender and then secretly contact me. "

"Gu Chen, you can't be thinking of …" The dragon horse's eyes lit up as it realized what Gu Chen wanted to do.

"Those outer realm geniuses have been fighting all over the place, subduing the Ninth Realm's forces everywhere. The Nether Realm is a huge intelligence organization. If they know that the Underworld Emperor is dead, they definitely won't miss it. "

"The Nether Realm is a trap I left for them. Waiting for them won't do. We should take the initiative."

Gu Chen's eyes glinted coldly.

Ye Fei and the others understood what Gu Chen was thinking and immediately realized that what they were about to do wasn't simple.

If there was the slightest mistake, they could lose their lives.

"No matter who wants to take over the Nether Realm, they won't kill you guys. After all, you need to organize your subordinates. After I save the remaining members of the Nether Realm, you can make up the ins and outs of this matter and take the credit for saving them. This way, your positions will be even more secure. "

"I don't want anything. The remaining resources of the Nether Realm will be at your disposal. I only need you to secretly give me the information I need and earnestly carry out my orders. What do you think?"

Gu Chen could tell that they were worried, so he spoke frankly.

This kind of condition could be considered generous. In the future, they would be the bosses of the Nether Realm with his support.

Although he wanted to use the Nether Realm to attract the outer realm geniuses, they might not fall for it. If they didn't, Ye Fei's group's mission would be even easier.

After listening to Gu Chen's words, Ye Fei made a decision and clenched his teeth. "We will obey Milord's orders!"

The Nether Kings hurriedly expressed their stance and the deal was settled.

"Alright. Although I trust you, I will place a life-death restriction in your minds just to be on the safe side."

Seeing that they agreed, Gu Chen made another request.

The things he had to do in the future were extremely big and he couldn't allow any mistakes to occur. If he did, thousands of people would be buried with him.

Thus, he decided to be a gentleman first.

Ye Fei and the others smiled bitterly when they heard this.

They had just gotten their freedom from the Underworld Emperor and didn't expect to lose it again so quickly.
