In addition to the Prehistoric World, the gates of The Underworld in other Great Thousand Worlds were also broken. Countless evil spirits returned to their respective worlds through the Serpent Road of The Underworld, unleashing chaos and destruction.
The living and the dead clashed instantly—they were utterly incompatible.
"Impossible! Liu Laosan, haven't you been dead for thousands of years? Why are you back?!"
"Zhang Danian, you've been dead for tens of thousands of years! This is impossible! How are you still alive?!"
"Damn it! Why are these villains—who died countless years ago—appearing now?!"
"What has happened to the heavens and the myriad worlds? Why are the dead being resurrected?"
Many beings couldn't help but cry out in confusion and terror. They had never witnessed anything like this before—the long-dead were now returning to life.
Worse yet, those who had turned into evil spirits were incomparably terrifying. Even if they were weak in life, after becoming evil spirits, their combat power had soared to the point that ordinary beings could no longer resist them.
"Jie Jie Jie... Stupid fools. The gate of The Underworld has been shattered. We evil spirits can now return to the world of the living!"
"All of you, die! Those who killed me back then—none of you can escape now!"
"This world belongs to us, the evil spirits! The living shall perish. Become evil spirits like us!"
"Quack! It's useless, all of your attacks are useless! We are evil spirits! We have immortal bodies! Even if you kill us now, we will be resurrected from the depths of The Underworld! We are killing immortals!"
The evil spirits let out fierce and maniacal laughter. They were fearless and utterly insane.
Even the weakest among them could resurrect endlessly, making them relentless in their assaults. They charged like mad beasts, tearing off arms and legs even in death.
Never had the living encountered such terrifying and unrelenting enemies. They were crushed instantly, their armies overwhelmed by the tide of evil spirits.
There were fewer than ten thousand at first, but once that number was surpassed, they became invincible.
Rumors of this spread across the heavens and the worlds, sending waves of fear through all living beings.
At the same time, many Grotesques sensed the upheaval and became ecstatic.
They could feel it—the power of fear erupting from the heavens and the worlds, far more abundant than ever before.
They had never sensed such an overwhelming surge of fear energy. One by one, the grotesques felt their strength increase at a geometric rate.
"Haha! Power! This is the power of fear!"
"Wonderful! This sensation of being empowered is truly wonderful!"
"Yes! Be afraid, all beings! The more you fear, the stronger we become!"
"Our age—the grotesque age—has arrived! No longer must we hide. The age of gods will fall!"
All over the Great Thousand Worlds, grotesques who once hid in the shadows were now empowered by vast areas of fear energy.
Their growth was never hindered by bottlenecks. Born from the fears and imaginations of living beings, the more fear that existed, the stronger they became.
As fear surged endlessly, grotesques were born in vast numbers, multiplying at terrifying rates.
It was an explosive growth—the grotesques increased hundreds of millions of times over, spreading across the heavens and the myriad worlds.
Among them were grotesques who had evolved into the Evil God Realm.
These beings had long been at the peak of grotesque power, just one step away from becoming evil gods. Now, thanks to the immense fear, they consumed enough energy to break through completely.
Rumble~~
In each vast world, grotesques underwent transformation one after another—birthing countless powerful Evil Gods.
Their power was unleashed without restraint. Now, they no longer feared the gods. They had reached a supreme realm that even the gods could not threaten.
In a short span of time, tens of millions of Evil Gods were born across the Great Thousand Worlds. Their numbers rivaled the gods of Chaos City.
Those who stepped into the Evil God Realm gained massive benefits—many advancing into the God King Realm, and some even reaching the God Emperor Realm.
Their power grew exponentially, as if endless energy was being infused into them.
"Jie Jie Jie... Our plan has succeeded! Completely!"
"Those foolish gods—they probably still don't understand what has happened!"
"As expected, our era—the era of Evil Gods—has finally come! No more hiding! We grotesques can now stand tall and harvest endless fear!"
"Come! This is an era of horror, of killing, of death, and of blood! We grotesques shall plunge all living beings into a world of endless fear!"
"The dusk of the gods is here! We will bring about their downfall and end their dominion! This is our time—the time of Evil Gods! No one can stop us!"
One of the Evil Gods roared in madness, overwhelmed with excitement.
They could feel the endless waves of fear energy pouring in from the heavens and the worlds—empowering the Evil Gods like Chaos Energy.
Their power visibly surged with each passing moment.
Evil Gods in the God Armament Realm advanced to the God General Realm.
Those in the God General Realm advanced to the God King Realm.
And those already at the God King Realm broke through again—toward the God Emperor Realm.
Some even reached the peak of the God Emperor Realm, evolving further into the God Sovereign Realm—the realm of a Primordial Chaos Saint.
At this pace, it wouldn't be long before a terrifying Evil God emerged at the God Sovereign level.
When that happens, the heavens and worlds will fall completely under the shadow of the Evil Gods, marking the beginning of their reign of terror.
Rumble~~
At that moment, the gods—who had been trapped within the Nightmare Seal of the Evil Dream God—finally broke free.
One by one, they awakened and witnessed the current state of the heavens and the worlds.
All of their expressions changed dramatically.
