Chapter 818 of "MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again" opens revealing the plot: Seeing Guerbash remain silent, Lu Hong withdrew his gaze. Originally, he was already quite averse... Discover what happens!

Seeing Guerbash remain silent, Lu Hong withdrew his gaze. Originally, he was already quite averse to the Lion King Hall. Since Guerbash wasn’t complying, perhaps he wouldn’t even need to arrange it, for Tai’e and the ancient beast race might take initiative and wipe them out.Although the Lion King Hall wasn’t very powerful, it gathered elite generals from the Beastman Empire across time. Their prowess in leading armies was unmatched, which would definitely be of great help in the wars among all heavens. Of course, if there were any disloyalty, then such assistance would be better left unused.

"In that case, let’s adjourn court today."

"Your Majesty!" Guerbash finally spoke up to stop Lu Hong, who was preparing to leave.

Kneeling on the ground, he said in a deep voice, "I, Guerbash, am willing to offer the Hall Master token of the Lion King Hall and present the formula of the immortality elixir to Your Majesty, hoping that the Star Lord will forever safeguard the empire, prospering our beastman lineage."

Immortality elixir!

All the officials in the court were immediately startled; this was the greatest secret of the Lion King Hall, the most important foundation, and Guerbash actually handed it over to the Star Lord?

With this elixir, wouldn’t the Star Lord also be able to produce the immortality elixir?

Several older courtiers couldn’t help but become excited, a fiery glow in their eyes.

"Rise and speak." Lu Hong walked up to Guerbash and took the formula offered by him, glancing over it briefly.

Immortality, indeed, was something many people dreamt of. After seeing the formula, Lu Hong suddenly lost interest in it.

Immortality cannot come without a price. This formula was essentially a sacrificial ritual, surrendering oneself to a foreign deity in exchange for longevity.

This method reminded Lu Hong of Caesar, the one with an indestructible soul.

Throwing the looked-over formula back to Guerbash, this action stirred the hearts of all the officials: "Your Majesty!"

Lu Hong looked at the official who spoke and said, "Do you know the cost of immortality?"

All the officials were taken aback, but then one official quickly replied, "Your Majesty, even if there is a cost, so what? Lord Guerbash can bear it, and we can bear it too. This old minister only wishes to dedicate another hundred years, a thousand years, or even...forever to the Beastman Empire!"

Lu Hong nodded, acknowledging his loyalty, and then said to Guerbash, "The secret of immortality, Guerbash, you should tell it yourself."

"As you command."

With Lu Hong’s permission, Guerbash stood up straight, looked around, and said, "To achieve immortality like mine, one must first build a sacrificial altar, offering their soul to the Soul God. From then on, your soul no longer belongs to you, but is in the hands of the Soul God. The magic potion made from the immortality formula is essentially just nourishing your body, delaying physical decay."

"May I ask, Lord Guerbash, about your soul...?"

Guerbash nodded, "It will never return."

Soul God...

Tai’e fell silent, as he had never heard of such a Heavenly God.

"Guerbash, do you know the origin of this Soul God?"

Facing Tai’e’s question, Guerbash shook his head and said, "I tried to search through the archives of the Beast Race, Human Race, and even the Snow Clan’s three major empires, but I couldn’t find any records of the Soul God. It doesn’t seem to be a Star Sea God, or it’s too mysterious to have been discovered."

"You sure are bold." Tai’e shook his head and said no more.

Offering one’s soul is no joke. Once the soul is controlled by someone, they practically have control over the person. They can decide when he dies, and by manipulating the person’s soul, make him do whatever they want.

Whether this mysterious Soul God has intervened in the cosmic affairs through Guerbash’s soul, perhaps only he would know.

"Alright, since the Lion King Hall has already offered its souls, the immortality elixir should remain for internal use only. It must not be leaked for other beastmen to use, do you understand?"

"I understand."

"Good." Lu Hong nodded, "Eferot!"

"I am here!"

"I command you to reorganize all of the Beast Race’s military within a month, readying them for connecting with the Star Sky Alliance. In three months, I want to consolidate all powers in the Star Sea to march on All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds!"

After saying this, Lu Hong strode away.

"We respectfully send off the Star Lord!"

Leaving the court, Lu Hong headed to the palace where the Netherworld God resided.

Seeing Lu Hong’s arrival, the Netherworld God smiled and said, "Here to inquire about the Soul God?"

Lu Hong nodded; indeed, the ears of these Heavenly Gods were keen, for every word of the court meeting was heard by the Netherworld God.

"This Soul God, I don’t know much about either," the Netherworld God stated plainly. "I only encountered him once during the Era of the Gods, and that encounter burdens me to this day."

He continued, "Do you know why I fell into slumber? Why my soul fragmented?"

"Could it be because of this Soul God?"

"More or less, but not entirely."

Recalling the past of the Era of the Gods, the Netherworld God said, "The true origin of the underworld was merely a Netherworld River, and I was the first living being born from it. With my birth, the underworld slowly opened, expanding outward. At that time, the Era of the Gods had not yet begun, and this world was still in the hands of the Titan Giants. Later, with the descent of True Spirits, the Titans were exterminated, leading to countless nascent worlds emerging in the desolate Star Sea. The World Heart was formed from the wills of many deceased Titans, but without self-awareness. It wasn’t until the end of the True Spirit era that I separated from the Netherworld River to become a Heavenly God, one of the earliest in this realm.

Then the True Spirit chaos brought another apocalypse, destroying all True Spirits. Although I wasn’t directly involved, I was affected, suffering severe injuries.

My Divine Soul became unstable, always on the brink of extinction.

It was at this moment that the Soul God appeared.

He likely isn’t a Star Sea God. I never understood his origin until I became aware of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds. I realized that he was one of the first deities to appear there, teaching me the secret art of soul splitting.

At that time, my injuries were severe, and it was precisely his soul-splitting technique that saved me from annihilation, but at the cost of a drastic decrease in power. The split soul took most of my strength, left with merely Mortal Realm abilities, and each split part escaped throughout the world.

Later, the birth of Divine Grace heralded the dawn of the Era of the Gods."

After hearing the Netherworld God’s story, Lu Hong understood why, despite his power, the Netherworld God hadn’t left the underworld to influence the Star Sea during the Era of the Gods—it was due to his grave injuries.

Thinking of this, Lu Hong suddenly remembered the former Hades Palace and asked, "Uh, Netherworld God, I have a question, and I wonder..."

"Ask."

"Well... about the palace where you once slept, why were there so many odd creatures assembled there?"

"Assembled creatures?" The Netherworld God was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

"You know, like, um, lions that only eat plants?"

The Netherworld God shook his head, "I wouldn’t have bothered with that. It was probably the work of one of my split souls."

Lu Hong nodded and then shifted the topic back to the Soul God: "Is this guy powerful?"

"If he also uses the soul-splitting technique, his strength should not be underestimated, potentially even greater than mine." When discussing the Soul God’s power, the Netherworld God’s expression turned serious. "I don’t know how many Heavenly Gods were born with me in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, but none of them are weak—they all could destroy worlds. The soul-splitting technique allows, as long as you have enough split souls, each one to grow to your original soul’s level, and merging them grants you power far exceeding the sum of each individual soul. It can increase your Power of Soul a hundredfold. I merely split my soul ten times, and after merging nine, I’ve already exceeded my former strength ninefold. Once I merge the last soul, my power will advance further. As for the Soul God...he is very knowledgeable in the ways of the soul and could split his soul a hundred times. Even if his original strength is weaker than mine, once he merges a hundred split souls, he would certainly surpass me."

Initially, Lu Hong thought the Netherworld God represented the strongest power below the heavens, but listening to him say this... it truly is a case of there always being another realm above and another person beyond!
