Immediately, the evil gods prepared to take action, intending to teach these evil spirits a lesson—to let them know who ruled this world and how dare they show such disrespect.
At that moment, the voice of the Primordial Evil God echoed:
"Enough. Do not lower yourselves to bicker with these evil spirits. Our priority now is to release them and spread fear across the world."
"But Leader, these evil spirits are far too arrogant. They dare to disrespect us evil gods without the slightest fear. It's a disgrace to our name!"
An evil god spoke with resentment.
"Fools," the Primordial Evil God said coldly.
"Have you not seen their true nature? They are also undead beings, just like our grotesques. Even if you destroy their bodies, they can still survive on the surface.
"They are reborn."
"What?! These ghosts are undead too?"
Upon hearing this, many evil gods' expressions changed. To be honest, their arrogance stemmed from their undying bodies.
But now, to learn that these evil spirits possessed the same immortal traits was beyond belief.
"They are beings of Death, their true spirits integrated with The Underworld. Naturally, they are indestructible. After all, they are already dead—how can you kill the dead again? It's futile to try instilling fear in them."
The Primordial Evil God spoke in a low, heavy voice.
"I didn't expect these evil spirits to be so grotesque..."
A group of evil gods murmured in awe. They never imagined that such terrifying creatures existed, possessing the same unkillable trait as themselves.
"The more terrifying, the better—the more dread they bring, the greater the chaos."
The Primordial Evil God spoke calmly:
"Once these evil spirits appear in the world, they will be enough to incite boundless fear across the heavens and myriad worlds. Even the gods will find it difficult to withstand such a catastrophe."
Catastrophe?!
The evil gods were visibly excited. With catastrophe came fear, and with fear, their power would grow exponentially.
Realizing this, they no longer cared about the evil spirits' disrespect. As long as their goal was achieved, nothing else mattered.
"Stupid spirits, you're lucky this time. Now get the hell out of The Underworld!"
With ferocious expressions, the evil gods activated the Void Teleportation Technique.
Rumble~~
In an instant, countless evil spirits were forcibly removed and thrown out from the gates of The Underworld. The spirits had no strength to resist and were swept away completely.
Soon, nearly all evil spirits on the eighteenth floor of The Underworld were cleared out.
"Let us leave as well. This is the world of the dead. If we linger too long, we will be assimilated by the original law of Death and become deathly beings ourselves."
The Primordial Evil God warned in a serious tone. It could sense the overwhelming horror of The Underworld, and even gods could not resist the pure power of Death in its depths.
"But Leader, we only cleared the eighteenth floor. It's said that The Underworld has one hundred and eight levels. Shouldn't we release the remaining spirits from the lower levels?"
One evil god asked.
"Fool. Can't you feel the dread beneath the nineteenth floor? The lower levels of The Underworld are terrifying beyond imagination. Even gods can be imprisoned there, never to escape."
The Primordial Evil God replied grimly:
"If you go any deeper, you won't be freeing spirits. You'll be trapped for eternity."
Even with its immense power, it didn't dare step foot beyond the nineteenth floor to investigate.
"Yes!"
The evil gods nodded, all of them sensing the horror radiating from The Underworld's lower depths. Even grotesques like themselves could be eroded by the power of Death.
It was a clear sign of just how terrifying the Lord of Chaos City, the one who had created The Underworld, truly was. None of them understood how he had come to possess such unimaginable power.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Without hesitation, the evil gods left The Underworld in haste.

At the same time, the evil spirits expelled from The Underworld began to materialize across the world, overflowing with the aura of evil and the power of Death.
The instant they appeared, the terrifying icy chill of The Underworld spread forth. In moments, tens of thousands of kilometers were frozen, transformed into a domain of absolute frost.
All life within this region was frozen solid, their vitality instantly consumed.
"Haha! This is the world of the living, not The Underworld!"
"Those evil gods didn't lie! The gates of The Underworld were opened, and no jailers were there to stop us."
"We're free! Finally free from that cursed prison!"
The evil spirits rejoiced, overwhelmed with ecstasy. It had been so long since they had felt the aura of the living world.
The Underworld had been cold, desolate, torturous—an endless torment. No life, no light. Even for the dead, it was unbearable.
Not to mention, The Underworld had 108 levels, and each floor was a personal hell.
"Jie Jie... I sense the presence of countless living beings nearby. I will devour them all, body and soul!"
"I'm starving. It's time for a feast!"
The evil spirits began to roar, their hunger driving them mad. They scattered in every direction, launching attacks on cities and the living.
"I'm finally reborn. This time, I'll take revenge on those murderers who killed me. They never imagined I would crawl back from The Underworld. Damn you all, none of you will escape!"
"Death to all! Anyone who killed me must die!"
Aside from those who devoured life, many evil spirits were consumed by vengeance. They remembered clearly how they died.
While trapped in The Underworld, they had no hope for revenge. But now, with their escape and newfound evil power, they had a chance.
The hatred festering for countless years had not faded—instead, it had only grown deeper.
One after another, they soared across the skies, hunting down their enemies.
At that moment, throughout the heavens and myriad worlds, it was as if a hundred ghosts walked at night—countless evil spirits emerged from The Underworld, and the endless power of Death blanketed all of creation.
