Chapter 990: Secret Revelations

“They.” The Mosha Clan clone looked toward the other infants in the distance. “Which royal sea were they born from?”

“Bei’anshel was also born from the ancestral sea,” the infant’s eyes sparkled, speaking in a calm and orderly manner. “Besides Bei’anshel and me, all the others were born from the royal seas. Some were born from the great royal seas, some from the small royal seas.”

The Mosha Clan clone nodded inwardly as he listened. Royal sea… there were distinctions between great and small royal seas?

“Work hard, and you will become an immortal one day,” the Mosha Clan clone said with a smile, patting the infant’s crimson curved horn.

“Mm-hmm,” the infant nodded.

Then the Mosha Clan clone turned and left.

The infant gazed at the retreating figure of the Mosha Clan clone, biting his lip, his eyes filled with resentment.

“Chief.”

“Chief.” One by one, the other infants leapt over.

“Chief, did that immortal take you as his disciple?”

“Still asking? That immortal is already gone, so of course he didn’t take you,” the infants chattered noisily. Even though they were still in their ‘child’ stage, the Gold-Horned Giant Beast had already triggered a global catastrophe on Earth. These native infants, however, were all quite intelligent.

“Shut up!”

The infant suddenly roared, casting another resentful glance at the Mosha Clan clone’s distant figure.

He had thought this ‘immortal’ saw potential in him and would take him as a disciple. He had been so enthusiastic, telling him everything… but in the end, he wasn’t accepted. After all, among the natives, adulthood meant becoming a World Lord, so there were many World Lords, but immortals were extremely rare.

In the military, the ratio of World Lord soldiers to immortal soldiers was 1000:1, and that was because most World Lords hadn’t even joined the army. The actual ratio between World Lords and immortals was even more extreme.

To be nurtured by an immortal was truly to have a future!

“Did this immortal refuse me because I was born from the ancestral sea while he was born from the royal sea?” The infant leader gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment. “Hmph, I was born from the ancestral sea, which is more noble by birth! One day, I, Maishe’er, will definitely become an immortal, even an immortal captain, or even a general!”

The Mosha Clan clone leisurely strolled through the native city, his ears clearly picking up the conversations of tens of thousands of natives within a thousand kilometers. He listened while simultaneously organizing the intelligence in his mind.

Suddenly, he overheard a conversation about the 108 princes. The Mosha Clan clone listened casually at first, but then he abruptly froze, as if struck by lightning, standing motionless in place.

“108 princes? 108? 108 royal seas?” The Mosha Clan clone stood still, a spark of realization igniting in his mind.

“Ancestral sea, royal sea.”

“108 royal seas.”

“108 princes.”

“What a coincidence, both numbers are exactly 108. Could it be… that each royal sea is linked to a prince?” The clone of the Mosha Clan’s eyes gleamed brighter. “If the royal seas are tied to the princes, then perhaps the ancestral sea is connected to the Sovereign of the Nine Nether? That makes perfect sense. My mentor once mentioned that within the Nine Nether Time-Space, the Sovereign of the Nine Nether was truly invincible. Therefore, the Sovereign must be capable of harnessing the power of the Nine Nether Sea! That sea, spanning dozens of light-years in diameter… its power is boundless, likely no less formidable than the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. To command the Nine Nether Sea would indeed make one the mightiest in the universe!”

The Mosha Clan clone grew more and more excited as he thought.

Even deeper in his heart, another idea emerged: “Why do the princes each have a royal sea? Could it be that the royal sea is born alongside them? In other words, whenever a prince is born, a royal sea is born with him?”

“If my third clone could be born with a royal sea like a prince…”

“Among the 108 princes, according to the intelligence I’ve gathered over these days, some are at the level of Cosmic Sovereigns, some are immortals, and some are World Lords.”

“Although the princes hold noble status and are even protected by Cosmic Sovereigns, acquiring a prince’s genetic material is exceedingly challenging… But if the prince’s talent is truly exceptional, for the sake of my third clone, it would be worth even calling in the favor that the Sovereign of the Nine Nether owes my master.” The Mosha Clan clone swiftly organized his thoughts.

Based on current intelligence:

The Sovereign of the Nine Netherworlds, the 108 princes, the ancestral sea, and the 108 royal seas all aligned perfectly in number. Combined with the Sovereign of the Nine Netherworlds being nearly invincible within the Nine Netherworld Time-Space, it could be said… there was an extremely high likelihood of a connection.

The princes might be, in essence, the weakened forms of the Sovereign of the Nine Netherworlds!

“Moreover, from what I’ve heard from the natives, each prince is immortal, meaning they possess some degree of immortality.”

The Mosha Clan clone continued listening to the natives’ chatter, gathering information. He wandered around the city for two whole days. Clearly, the native children were taught from an early age: “Must be loyal to the Emperor, loyal to the princes!” “The Emperor and the princes are sacred and inviolable!” “To fight for the Emperor and the princes is an honor.”…

The more information Luo Feng gathered about the princes and the Emperor, the more eagerly he anticipated.

Eventually, Luo Feng decided to go see his teacher, the Chaos City Lord.

At the highest point of Thunder Island in the virtual universe.

Inside the grand palace shrouded in endless currents, Luo Feng stepped across the threshold and directly entered the great hall.

“Teacher.” Standing in the hall, Luo Feng faced the endless currents respectfully.

“Did you encounter difficulties in the Nine Nether World?” A gentle, comforting voice accompanied the golden-robed Chaos City Lord as he approached. “Have you already cashed in that favor?”

“Not yet,” Luo Feng replied respectfully.

“Hmm?” The Chaos City Lord was somewhat surprised. “You escaped pursuit?”

“Disciple has a Mosha Clan clone,” Luo Feng said. “When I was trapped in the Nine Nether World, my Mosha Clan clone eventually came to my rescue.”

“How did he get there?” The Chaos City Lord pressed. “Could your Mosha Clan clone traverse the Nine Nether Vortex? That seems unlikely.”

“He went straight into the Netherworld,” Luo Feng answered.

The Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng with a puzzled expression. Although he had never been there personally, since that place was the territory of the Nine Nether Sovereign, that realm must be extremely secure. It was probable that even the might of a Cosmic Sovereign could not forcibly breach that domain.

“My Mosha Clan clone had some special experiences and acquired the innate secret technique ‘Domain’,” Luo Feng said directly.

“Domain?” Though surprised, the Chaos City Lord knew that among the Mosha Clan’s Cosmic Sovereigns, some possessed this innate secret technique. After all, the Mosha Clan was a race that reproduced… and some not-so-secret intelligence had long been known to outsiders.

At least beings at the Chaos City Lord’s level were aware of this technique called “Domain.”

“The ‘Domain’ technique is indeed powerful,” the Chaos City Lord nodded with a smile. “Unless one becomes a Sovereign of the Universe, before that, this technique is quite formidable.”

“Mm-hmm,” Luo Feng nodded.

“With your Mosha Clan clone for protection, escaping from the Nine Nether World shouldn’t be difficult for you. After all, you are an heir of the Ancestor God Cultivation, and the Sovereign of the Nine Nether has deep connections with the Ancestor God Cultivation. It’s unlikely he would personally pursue you. If that’s the case, why have you come to me?” The Chaos City Lord inquired curiously.

Luo Feng took a deep breath. “Disciple previously obtained a branch and leaves of the World Tree, but the attempt to cultivate my third clone… failed.”

“Failed?” The Chaos City Lord sighed softly.

He felt a sense of loss for his disciple.

“But disciple discovered something else,” Luo Feng looked at the Chaos City Lord.

“Speak.”

“First, disciple would like to ask the teacher, what is the relationship between the Sovereign of the Nine Nether and the Nine Nether Sea?” Luo Feng stared intently at his teacher, the Chaos City Lord.

The City Lord of Chaos looked at Luo Feng in astonishment, then said, “This is one of the universe’s greatest secrets. I shall reveal it to you. The Sovereign of the Nine Nether… is the Nine Nether Sea! The Nine Nether Sea is the Sovereign of the Nine Nether!”

Luo Feng’s body trembled.

Heaven!

This was even more incredible than he had imagined.

“In the history of the universe, the Sovereign of the Nine Nether has always been a terrifying figure. In terms of status and strength, he is no less than me,” sighed the Chaos City Lord. “In truth, in a one-on-one battle, he might be slightly weaker than me. But why can he rival me? Because even if you kill him, he will soon reappear.”

“In other words… he is immortal!” the Chaos City Lord said.

Luo Feng was shocked.

“Slay the Sovereign of the Nine Nether, and a new one rises. Slay again, yet another appears—endless and inexhaustible. How terrifying is such an adversary?” marveled the Chaos City Lord. “Thus, even the Ancestor God Cultivation must treat the Sovereign of the Nine Nether with reverence. Many tasks beyond the capability of the Beast Gods were entrusted to him.”

“There are no eternal secrets.”

“Many powerful beings have studied why the Sovereign of the Nine Nether can regenerate so quickly. After all, losing a powerful divine body requires a lot of energy, and logically, it should take a long time to revive,” the Chaos City Lord explained. “Later, it was discovered that once he dies, a new Sovereign of the Nine Nether will be born from the Nine Nether Sea.”

“The Nine Nether Sea is his boundless wellspring of power.”

The Chaos City Lord sighed, “Initially, it was merely speculation that the Nine Nether Sea and the Sovereign of the Nine Nether were linked. But later… a monumental event truly propelled the Sovereign of the Nine Nether to universal fame. On that occasion, he slew a Cosmic Sovereign!”

“Because of a supreme treasure, two Sovereigns of the Cosmos from the Beast Race joined forces to hunt down the Sovereign of the Nine Nether, chasing him all the way to the ‘Nine Nether Sea!'” the Chaos City Lord continued. “At that time, the Sovereign of the Nine Nether directly fled into the Nine Nether Sea. The moment he entered, he completely vanished, and the entire sea began to burn with infinite divine power.”

“The entire sea burned?” Luo Feng was stunned.

“Yes.”

The Lord of Chaos City sighed, “The entire sea was set ablaze! Clearly, the Sovereign of the Nine Nether was enraged at that time, unleashing all his power to burn the entire sea. The force was terrifying—it instantly overwhelmed the supreme treasures brought by the two Sovereigns of the Cosmos. In an instant, one Sovereign of the Cosmos was utterly obliterated, while the other barely escaped by relying on his supreme treasure.”

“The deceased Sovereign of the Cosmos was called ‘Cangyang Sovereign.'”

“The fleeing Sovereign of the Cosmos was known as the ‘Tianlang Sovereign.'” The Chaos City Lord gazed at Luo Feng. “At that time, other powerful figures were secretly trailing behind, poised to seize any opportunity, and they witnessed everything. After this battle, the news spread! Some of the supreme beings in the universe finally discovered that the Sovereign of the Nine Nether was the Nine Nether Sea! The Nine Nether Sea was the Sovereign of the Nine Nether!”

“As long as the Nine Nether Sea exists, he is immortal.”

“Moreover, once he returns to the Nine Nether Sea, he becomes virtually invincible across the cosmos!”
