"What has happened?"

Lin Yun suddenly looked up, his gaze directed toward the spatial fissure not far from them, he said with a slight shock.

The space they were in was none other than the 33rd heaven of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, and he knew how stable this space was. The shock had not only caused vibrations throughout the entire Immortal Origin Holy Land's spaces but had also produced a spatial fissure in the 33rd heaven.

Particularly, he faintly felt that the source of this force was incredibly distant, which meant the power responsible for this disturbance had to be absolutely terrifying.

"What has happened?"

"The entire Immortal Origin Holy Land is shaking?"

"Spatial fissures, so many spatial fissures. Could it be that a formidable being is attacking the Immortal Origin Holy Land? Could it be those external Saint Lords?"

"How dare they do this? How dare they?"

All over the Immortal Origin Holy Land, many cultivators were also panicking and exclaiming in shock, some of whom had just attended a meeting. They knew that Lin Yun had become the new Lord of the Immortal Origin Holy Land and were aware that many external Saint Lords were coveting the Holy Land.

They even thought that external powerhouses were attacking the Immortal Origin Holy Land.

If the space of the 33rd heaven of the Immortal Origin Holy Land was causing such a commotion, the disturbance in the other spaces of the Holy Land was even more significant. Especially in the ordinary Immortal Origin World, in an instant, many temples collapsed, mountains crumbled, the ground split apart, protective formations shattered, and seas flowed backward, as if doomsday had come.

Many cultivators of the Immortal Origin Holy Land were very flustered.

"Nether forces! The connection between the Netherworld and this universe has suffered a major break!" At the same time, the True Martial Saint Lord's expression changed drastically, and he abruptly looked up in a direction, shouting in disbelief.

"What is a 'major break'?" Lin Yun asked urgently.

"Previously, I attempted to repair the connection between the Netherworld and this universe, but ultimately failed. A small area of the connecting space collapsed, allowing a large influx of nether forces from the Netherworld through that fractured space. I thought that the connected space could hold on for a while longer, but I didn't expect... for it to collapse so soon...

A levee of a thousand miles can be destroyed by an anthill. The small collapsed space from earlier was like the anthill, and now, that space has started to collapse completely..." the True Martial Saint Lord rapidly explained.

Whoosh!

As he spoke, he waved his hand and several images appeared in front of them.

One could see a vast starry sky in the images, an unknown location. However, it was evident that the starry space was collapsing piece by piece at a swift pace. Countless planets and stars, even entire nebulae, were being engulfed. The scope of the destruction could be seen, and at the same time, large swaths of black energy gushed forth from the rupture, rapidly corroding the starry space.

"Is this the connection between the Netherworld and this universe?" Lin Yun's pupils contracted slightly as he asked swiftly.

"Exactly... I already imagined this catastrophe to be no small matter, but it's even bigger than I had expected..." the True Martial Saint Lord nodded and said.

Lin Yun felt a heavy weight upon his heart. He didn't need the True Martial Saint Lord's confirmation to know that this disaster was far more severe than he had imagined.

Seeing how quickly the starry sky was collapsing, if it continued at this rate, he feared that it wouldn't take long for the entire universe to collapse. By then, it was uncertain whether the universe would be destroyed completely or consumed by those black energies.

In any case, he assumed neither scenario would be a good thing.

"Whoosh... whoosh..."

Just then, they saw numerous black dots flooding from the collapsing part of the starry sky, swiftly scattering in all directions.

"Those are Ghost Practitioners from the Netherworld... I must hasten to go over there..." declared the True Martial Saint Lord.

"You needn't worry too much. The space where the Netherworld connects to this universe is limited. Even if this space collapses, it should not spread beyond that area. But these Ghost Practitioners coming from the Netherworld are the greatest disaster. I will now head over to exterminate those Ghost Practitioners.

As the Lord of Immortal Origin, you should soothe all the cultivators within the Immortal Origin World. Have the Holy Mother assist you..." Then, the True Martial Saint Lord turned his head, looking toward Lin Yun and said.

Whoosh!

The next moment, the True Martial Saint Lord's figure disappeared from sight.

"Ghost Practitioners from the Netherworld..."

Lin Yun was astonished, watching the events unfold within the images. He had encountered Ghost Practitioners before; there were Ghost Practitioners in the Heavenly Principle Tower's space, and even one level that was entirely populated by Ghost Practitioners, including incredibly powerful ones like Lord Black.

However, at that moment, he heard what the True Martial Saint Lord had said.

Looking up again, the True Martial Saint Lord had already left the space.

Lin Yun could not help but be speechless.

He didn't quite enjoy the task of soothing others; instead, he would have preferred to join the True Martial Saint Lord at the junction between the Netherworld and this universe to confront those Ghost Practitioners.

"Don't overthink it. Leave these trivial matters to me. All you need to do is show your face at some necessary occasions.

With the space where the Netherworld connects to this universe collapsing and the Immortal Origin Holy Land shaking, this is the time for you, as Lord of Immortal Origin, to win over the hearts of the people," said the Holy Mother, seemingly perceiving Lin Yun's thoughts, with a slight smile.

"In that case, I shall trouble the Holy Mother," Lin Yun briskly bowed to the Holy Mother in thanks.

With the Holy Mother's words, things really couldn't get any better.

However, Lin Yun couldn't help feeling somewhat speechless.

Suddenly, the True Martial Saint Lord and the Holy Mother handed over the Immortal Origin Holy Land to him, letting him become the Lord of the Immortal Origin Holy Land.

Alright, considering some of the benefits promised by the True Martial Saint Lord and the Holy Mother, he reluctantly agreed.

Yet, before he had received any benefits, he was expected to first stabilize the great turmoil within the Immortal Origin Holy Land.

This made him wonder if he had fallen into a trap.

It seemed that the True Martial Saint Lord and the Holy Mother only wanted to use him as a laborer.

Nevertheless, since the True Martial Saint Lord and the Holy Mother had both been very kind to him, even if they really had such intentions, he could only accept it.

Hu! Hu!

Thinking this, Lin Yun had Xia Qingqing, Lin Mengmeng, Lianshan, and others continue their cultivation in the thirty-third heaven of the Immortal Origin Holy Land while he and the Holy Mother set off to pacify other cultivators in the Holy Land.

The first stop was the Immortal Origin Hall, which was also the highest hall within the Immortal Origin Holy Land.

Many major decisions of the Immortal Origin Holy Land were made here, and Lin Yun's inauguration as the Lord of the Immortal Origin Holy Land had also taken place within this hall.

"We greet the Lord of Immortal Origin! Holy Mother!"

"We greet the Lord of Immortal Origin! Holy Mother!"

...

Many high-ranking members of the Immortal Origin Holy Land were already waiting inside the grand hall. Upon seeing Lin Yun and the Holy Mother appear, they hurriedly paid their respects.

"You may all dispense with the formalities."

Lin Yun gestured for everyone to stop their salutations.

"The Netherworld has started to collapse on a large scale at the space connecting it to this universe, and the two realms are now officially connected. That's why the Immortal Origin Holy Land was affected and shook, but this shaking will soon end. There is no need for anyone to panic.

The True Martial Saint Lord has already gone to that space to suppress the Ghost Practitioners coming from the Netherworld..." the Holy Mother spoke.

"The Netherworld and this universe, the two realms are officially connected?"

"The connection of the two realms caused such a huge upheaval?"

Some of the high-ranking members of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, upon hearing the Holy Mother's initial words, couldn't help but express their surprise.

But then, after hearing the rest of her words, they felt reassured and let out sighs of relief:

"So the shaking will soon end?"

"The True Martial Saint Lord has already gone there? With the True Martial Saint Lord taking action, resolving this matter should be a piece of cake!"

"Thank goodness for the True Martial Saint Lord, for such a disturbance clearly isn't trivial—it must be a disaster!"

...

Hearing the people's discussions, the Holy Mother slightly shook her head and said:

"You all think too much. The end of this disturbance is only due to the instantaneous connection between the Netherworld and this universe disappearing. The issue isn't over, in fact, it's just the beginning."

"Just now, through the Immortal Origin Holy Land's monitoring array, we saw that many Ghost Practitioners have already come from the Netherworld to that space. Ghost Practitioners are different from ordinary spirits. They carry the energy of death, which is extremely harmful to living beings..."

"Now, our task is to first stabilize the cultivators throughout the Immortal Origin Holy Land and prevent them from panicking," the Holy Mother slowly said.

"Ah?"

"This is just the beginning?"

Many high-ranking members of the Immortal Origin Holy Land exclaimed in shock.

However, they were only shocked momentarily and did not panic. As the saying goes, when the sky falls, there will be tall ones to hold it up. With the True Martial Saint Lord, the Langya Saint Lord, and Lin Yun, the newly appointed Lord of Immortal Origin, in place, they wouldn't need to worry about any external matters.

They just needed to follow orders and act accordingly.
