The last six eggs cracked open in succession, releasing a stream of red gas. Then, six different colored gases shot up into the sky, intertwining and swirling at an incredible speed. It wasn't until the sound of a massive collapse that I and Yapu Teacher realized what had happened. He swiftly pulled me back to a distance of 100 meters.
"No, no, this is impossible!"
"Teacher, what are you talking about?"
"This... could it be an evolved Underworld Beast?"
"What is an evolved Underworld Beast?"
Yapu Teacher did not answer; he stood there in a daze.
After a while, Yapu Teacher gradually came to his senses, his expression very serious.
"Xi Meng, let me ask you, do you know what the Six Elements of the Underworld are?"
"I know, Wind, Water, Thunder, Lightning, Fire, and Snow."
"Good. Now let me ask you this: as far as you know, who is the strongest in the Underworld when it comes to mastering these Six Elements to their fullest extent?"
"Well, I'm not very sure about that. I only know that the Flamingo clan's fire is the strongest and can melt anything." I nearly died in that flame once.
"Yes, the Flame Crane Clan is indeed renowned for their fire and can be considered powerful. However, you are mistaken about one thing: that kind of fire is extremely powerful but not enough to melt a group; it poses no threat at all."
"Oh my God! How strong would one have to be? Perhaps even the Supreme Lord couldn't manage it." At this point, fear suddenly gripped me. Could it be that what I knew and saw of the Underworld was just the tip of the iceberg? Was there still more…
"Xi Meng, you still don't understand this place at all. That group, surpassing the Supreme Lord, is terrifyingly powerful beyond mere comparison with the Supreme Lord."
"Why has no one ever told me this?" Even the prisoner never mentioned it.
"You know how difficult it is to surpass the Supreme Lord? Moreover, there are not many Supreme Lords in the underworld. Those who have succeeded are even fewer."
"Is there really such an existence?"
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be telling you."
"Six of them. The Flame Crane Clan you mentioned is one. So, the remaining five are Water Aow Clan, Wind Steed Clan, Thunder Clan, Electric Snake Group, and the last one, which is the most powerful and belongs to the Demon Clan, is the Snow Demon Clan." Yapu Teacher's expression remained serious, his brows tightly furrowed.
"I didn't know any of this. Why didn't you tell me before?"
"First of all, this was never a secret. However, surpassing the Supreme Lord is a terrifying existence, so they never interfere in matters among juniors. They are an unreachable presence, and no one talks about them, just like how humans regard those gods—there's that kind of distance."
"The reason I'm telling you now is because—"
"Because of what?"
"Perhaps one day, you will surpass the Supreme Lord, or even surpass them..."
Silence, silence, and more silence.
I forced a smile, seemingly forgetting how to use my mouth to speak. "Are you joking, Teacher?"
"No."
"...What happened, Teacher? You've been frowning since earlier, and now you're saying these things are impossible."
Yapu Teacher ignored me and continued speaking. "To surpass the Supreme Lord, one must merge with one of the Six Elements and reach its ultimate form to achieve transformation. This fusion is not merely a combination of skills; it becomes a part of the body. The Six Families have a significant innate advantage, as the probability of being born with one of the Six Elements in their bodies is much higher than that of ordinary races. Therefore, their chances of surpassing the typical Supreme Lord are greater. After all, an ordinary Supreme Lord relies on postnatal cultivation, fortuitous encounters, and the assistance of rare resources to achieve their status. Thus, apart from the Six Families, no one else has surpassed the Supreme Lord."
"Yes, yes, yes, just like you said, they have innate advantages. But what about me? I'm just a human with absolutely no Six Elements in my body."
"Exactly. That's why I didn't tell you earlier. However, from now on, everything will be different."
"Could it be—could it be related to these Underworld Beasts?"
"You are indeed very clever," Yapu Teacher finally returned to his signature smile, his tone much more relaxed.
"Don't keep me in suspense, Teacher!"
"Alright, alright, don't rush. Think carefully about the skills used by your first avatar's Bone Flute."
"Wings of Wind, Water Shield, Thunderous Strike, Lightning Flash, Fire Tongue, Snow Dance... Oh my god, what a coincidence! The Six Elements... No, no, but these Six Elements don't come from me."
"Correct. So these six Underworld Beasts can help you. No, their existence cannot simply be explained by the term Underworld Beasts. They are known as Pets of the Underworld—Nether Beasts, the most precious existence."
"Do they represent the Six Elements?" My voice trembled uncontrollably; this was simply unbelievable.
"So I think you are very lucky, Xi Meng. They indeed embody the six attributes: wind, water, thunder, lightning, fire, and snow. You are still immature now, so it's just a simple fusion of skills, but it's enough to rival a Supreme Lord. Once you mature, they will naturally merge with your Second Avatar, as all ten thousand Nether Beasts originate from your own Nether Energy."
"Is it true? If so, then I will become stronger. I can help Silver Moon protect the Demon Clan and assist in unlocking the Demon Dragon Clan. I can return to your side sooner, Prisoner."
"Stop, don't smile so early, Xi Meng. I'm just saying there's a possibility, but after all, there are no precedents, so your future path will be extremely difficult, and the price you pay will far exceed that of ordinary cultivators."
"I'm not afraid; I'm willing to try."
"Good. Then we need to change the training plan. Let's stop here for today. Go and communicate well with your six Little Ones; their intelligence is very high."
"Okay." I really couldn't wait to see what these six Nether Beasts looked like. I walked lightly yet eagerly, my heart racing. Is all of this real? Can I surpass the Supreme Lord and that ghost named Siyimo? She is not only a calamity for the Prisoner but now also for me.
Before I arrived, Little Pink rushed toward the colorful circles of light. Soon, six clusters of light floated up with Little Pink and slowly descended in front of me.
"Master, this is simply unbelievable. They possess a strange power—weak yet strong."
"Alright, Little Pink, come here." Little Pink gently landed on my shoulder.
"You must be fire, right?" I smiled lightly at the Little One who was entirely fire-red. She was only as big as my palm, resembling a small sprite with golden wings, curly red hair, and a flower imprinted on her forehead. I didn't know what kind of flower it was.
"It's the Fireball Flower." In an instant of surprise, she seemed to know what I was thinking. Then she smiled; perhaps they had this ability. Her voice was deep, contrasting with her youthful appearance.
"Hehe, then you must be a stubborn Little One." She lightly landed on my hand, staring at me without blinking.
"Why are you looking at me like that, Fire?" Even though I knew how terrifying these Little Ones were in strength, seeing their appearance still made me soften my tone.
"What is your name?"
Faced with Little One's sudden question, I was taken aback. Looking at their serious expressions, I also restrained my smile.
"I am Xi Meng."
"Wind!" The blue-haired Little One had flowing long hair and a patch of white feathers on their forehead, gentle yet profound.
"Water!" Dressed entirely in blue, elegant like the Moon Goddess, with a center-parted long hair revealing a droplet of water on their forehead.
"Thunder!" Clad in gray armor, it was hard to tell their gender, but Thunder certainly had a boyish appearance, with what looked like a stone image on their forehead.
"Lightning!" Also appearing boyish, dressed in a golden royal outfit, there were no patterns on their forehead, but visible currents of electricity surrounded them.
"Snow." The soft voice exuded a sense of detachment, with an ambiguous appearance of both male and female, completely white, and a hazy snowflake on their forehead, reminiscent of the enchanting eyes of a young Snow Leopard.
"Fire!"
"I swear by the great Lord of the Underworld, to serve my master, Xi Meng, for life and beyond." The six Little Ones, along with the previous ten thousand Underworld Beasts, spoke in unison around me. From afar, they appeared as a dark mass ready to engulf me, creating an eerily oppressive atmosphere. It seemed I truly had no way out; I must move forward!
"I, the one hundredth generation Dream Soul Master of the human realm, Xi Meng, vow: you are all like my children; in the three realms, we shall not part."
"Roar! Roar! Roar!" The immense roar echoed. I knew that after being sealed for tens of thousands of years, they regarded me as their mother from the very first glance, regardless of their Intelligence. Yes, I too will never abandon you.
In the distance, Yapu frowned at everything before them. Their tightly clenched fists gradually relaxed as they sighed and softly said, "You spoil her too much, Yama Queen." In the end, Yapu smiled reassuringly and turned away. "It's almost time for the finale, Xi Meng, don't blame me. Only this way can you truly surpass the Supreme Lord and become—Underworld Soul."
