Chapter 411: Chapter 187 Qinguang King_2

With hands clasped behind his back, the Day Wandering God gazed down upon the bovine-headed deity before him from on high:

“I do not have the qualifications to represent the Netherworld, do you, Bull Head, claim to have such authority?”

It did not surprise the Day Wandering God when Bull Head stepped forward at the crucial moment.

The Netherworld Commander Bull Head was the most opposed to invading the Yang World among the 10 Netherworld Commanders, but due to internal and external pressure in the Netherworld, he ultimately could not stand firm till the end and chose to tacitly consent to the affair.

Even so, in the end, Bull Head merely aligned himself with the Samsara King, the least of the 10th Hall Yama, maintaining nominal obedience without subservience.

Some days prior, when a Samsara Authority Token appeared in the world, Netherworld Commander Bull Head sent a split soul to assist, but in the end, he failed to save the person holding the Samsara Authority Token, which provoked the Samsara King into a furious rage.

In such circumstances, if Netherworld Commander Bull Head made no moves at all, that would actually cause the Day Wandering God to grow suspicious.

Yet the Day Wandering God did not fear Netherworld Commander Bull Head, for he had absolute dominance within the Netherworld; nearly half of the 10 Netherworld Commanders were his people, and he had no fear of Bull Head’s questioning.

But just as the Day Wandering God’s words fell, Black and White Impermanence, the two Netherworld Commanders standing behind him, stepped forward to speak on their own initiative:

“I believe what Netherworld Commander Bull Head has said is extremely true.”

“While Great Xia’s Imperial Court may be shallow in its foundations, it is, after all, a human Imperial Dynasty. There is no need to push them into becoming sworn enemies.

Moreover, behind Great Xia lies the grotto heavens sacred ground, where countless powerful experts are hidden.”

The Day Wandering God’s expression instantly stiffened, his gaze turning sharply toward Black and White Impermanence.

He knew that Black and White Impermanence also did not wish to invade the Yang World, but unlike Bull Head, they were more capable of understanding the overall situation of the Netherworld and would not risk their lives recklessly.

Now that Black and White Impermanence had suddenly taken the initiative, it must be that the Emperor’s incarnation behind Bull Head had given them a chance to counterbalance the kingdom of Hell.

With Black and White Impermanence voicing their support for Bull Head, the Day Wandering God’s factions including the Night Wandering God and Horse Face, two other Netherworld Commanders, also made their choice to join the field at this moment.

“The Mount Tai Lord’s Decree has become ineffective, and the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge has just revived the weakened human Imperial Dynasty. This is a once in a millennium opportunity that must not be wasted; we must go all out!”

“Why should our Netherworld only hide within the Incense Fire God Realm while humans can dominate the land and sky? To rule the present world is our true pursuit!”

The Netherworld Commanders each held their own opinions. Apart from Wasp, who had already perished, there remained only Leopard Tail, Bird Beak, and Fish Gill, three Netherworld Commanders.

Bird Beak, Leopard Tail, Fish Gill, and Wasp, the four great Netherworld Commanders who respectively ruled over birds, beasts, fish, and insects, were already one entity and had long been subdued by the Day Wandering God in secret. The Day Wandering God had absolute confidence in the choice of the three Commanders.

Fish Gill Netherworld Commander did not hesitate to take his place behind the Day Wandering God, thus his faction already possessed four Commanders.

Leopard Tail gave a slight smile towards the Day Wandering God, yet on that beastly face, it seemed there was a hint of inscrutable depth.

The Day Wandering God’s heart suddenly sank, as he watched Leopard Tail step past him, moving to the front of Bull Head under the astonished gaze of all other Commanders.

“I wonder if Netherworld Commander Bull Head would welcome this?”

Leopard Tail asked with a smile towards Bull Head.

Bull Head gazed deeply at the Leopard Tail before him, as if seeing this Commander for the first time.

“Your addition is welcome, Netherworld Commander Leopard Tail.”

Black and White Impermanence drew closer to him, a development that Bull Head had anticipated.

Before Shen Yuan arrived, Bull Head had hinted to Black and White Impermanence several times, and they themselves were not keen on having the kingdom of Hell intervene in the Primal Chaos Realm; to come together was logical.

But for this Leopard Tail Netherworld Commander, Bull Head never had any contact from the beginning to the end, and the other initially showed support for the Day Wandering God.

Now, in this critical moment, to suddenly defect was beyond everyone’s expectation.

And when Leopard Tail positioned himself behind Bull Head, he suddenly bowed towards the direction of the Emperor’s Carriage and said:

“Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty!”

Shen Yuan, within the Emperor’s Carriage, frowned slightly, showing confusion—he had never made contact with Leopard Tail, and the latter’s stance was incomprehensible to him.

It was Netherworld Commander Bull Head whose face revealed a sudden comprehension, his gaze towards the Emperor’s Carriage filled with even more reverence.

In an instant, both Bull Head and the Day Wandering God had the support of four Commanders, while Fish Gill Netherworld Commander remained the only one unspecified.

The Day Wandering God drew in a deep breath, turning to look at the indecisive Fish Gill Netherworld Commander and spoke:

“There’s no need for you to decide!”

The successive defections among his Commanders had caused the Day Wandering God to no longer dare gamble on which side Fish Gill would stand on.

If Fish Gill were like Leopard Tail, having already secretly turned to support Bull Head, then he would have completely lost his standing to compete for the overall situation in the Netherworld.

With this thought, the Day Wandering God clenched his teeth, regretting having sent Wasp to the Fengdu City Gate to probe the figure within the Emperor’s Carriage.

If Wasp had not died, he could at least ensure the support of five Commanders, establishing an unbeatable position for himself. Alas, this was but a futile wish.

The Day Wandering God’s eyes turned ice-cold, his piercing gaze locked onto the Netherworld Commander Bull Head in front of him.

“Since we both have four votes, let us abide by tradition. We, the gods and deities of the Netherworld, shall honor strength above all!”

Netherworld Commander Bull Head’s response was a single word.

“Agreed!”

As their voices fell, both Netherworld deities soared into the firmament.

A towering bovine-headed deity manifested above the firmament.

Opposite him, the Day Wandering God’s true form as a deity was in no way inferior, a colossal figure with tousled red hair holding a wooden plaque inscribed with the words “Patrol Day.”

As the deities revealed their true forms, the sky of the Yin World cracked, with Bull Head stirring infinite yin energy and swinging his mighty fist towards the chest of the Day Wandering God.
