After arriving at the Nine Devil Gods World, for a moment, she had a looked of nostalgia on her face. The majority of her earlier years were greatly influenced by this world and its race.
And even after ascending to the Eternal Ascension World, she faced some trouble from the devil race. In the end, once she became powerful, she almost slaughtered the entire race and wiped them out of existence.
If some people did not plead with her, no one could have stopped her.
After reminiscing for a while, Wu Hong teleported to the nearest large city; she has been gone for a while, she wanted to know what changed over the years.
As she constantly teleported to her destination, Wu Hong could see that many places had weird weather phenomena. Thunder, flames, tornadoes, sword qi, and space turbulence existed in large quantities in most places, making 80% of the world inhabitable.
As for the habitable places, the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth was thin, resources were scarce, and the population was small.
As for the devils that lived in this world, they all looked weird and fierce. The majority of them had humanoid bodies, but their faces were usually different animals like lions, tigers, elephants, etc.
Most of them also had fangs, claws, and tails.
Another prominent point about them was the fact that they were really tall. Most devils were at least 3 meters, and this was the minimum height.
As Wu Hong floated over the city and watched everyone go by, she could see the desolate looks on these devils' faces; all of them seemed bleak and full of despair.
They go about their lives like they have nothing to live for, no hope, no desire for tomorrow.
Ignoring these devils, Wu Hong suddenly appeared in the biggest house of this city: the City Lord Mansion. With a wave of her Divine Sense, she secretly searched his soul.
However, a frown appeared on her face soon afterward. She received little information from him.
"Well, I should not expect any from a little Supernatural Realm devil," muttered Wu Hong. She realized that if she were to search each city little by little, too much time might be wasted.
"In that case, let's not waste time."
Her Divine Sense madly spread out from her body and she searched everything in sight.
She saw countless cities that were scattered all over, with great distances between them. As for the roads between these places, all of them were inhabitable by weak lifeforms, so few devils actually lived there or built any form of civilization.
After searching a few million miles in radius, Wu Hong finally discovered a place worth visiting. Immediately, she teleported to a city far away.
Yang Mansion, a bunch of devils sat inside a room discussing something. All of them looked exactly like humans except with a third eye in the middle of their foreheads.
"Patriarch, with this 100,000 years-old Willow Tree Branch, our Three-Eyes Clan can have another Void Shattering Realm powerhouse," said one of the devils to the man sitting on the throne.
"Indeed, that's good news," replied the Patriarch.
"What's the good news?" suddenly ringed a voice.
"Haven't I already said it? The birth of a new Void…"
As everyone turned their gaze to the old man that walked in the room, they became stiff, and no one said anything at all.
The old man shook his head as he scanned the people in the room. "Look at all of you, happy about a little Grade 7 cultivator. Can't you guys have any prospects?"
He then looked at the patriarch.
"And you. You should be ashamed, cultivating that cursed Origin System."
The old man seemed to become angrier.
"We are the proud descendants of Devil Gods. Our ancestors conquered worlds, enslaved myriad races, slaughtered Emperors and Immortals. Yet, you're all happy for such little accomplishment."
All the upper echelons of the Three-Eye clan lowered their heads, not daring to look at the old man. After seeing this, the patriarch sighed.
"Great Elder, all you're talking about are nothing but things of the past, with only records that seemed more like stories than actual events. The sad truth is even if those things written in those ancient documents are true, it no longer matters.
"Our world is no longer what it used to be, our clan has long lost its glory. We have to face reality. And the reality is, without cultivating the Origin System, cultivating is almost impossible.
"The reality is a Void Shattered Realm is a great boost of strength to our clan and could ensure our survival in the next few thousand years."
"You!" said the Great Elder, then stormed out of the room. He returned to the clan's shrine ancestral shrine. After taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he lit up a few incense sticks and placed them next to a bunch of tablets with names written on them.
After that, he entered the room next door which was his resting room. What the old man did not notice was that a beautiful woman dressed in a long cheongsam.
Wu Hong looked at one of the shrine tablets and she could see the Primordial Spirit of a True Monarch Devil residing inside and absorbing incense to prolong its life. With a wave of her hand, she sealed all the power of that Primordial Spirit, then searched it.
After getting the information she wanted, she crushed that Primordial Spirit and teleported to a faraway distance.
In front of Wu Hong were four pillars that rose straight to the sky; they seemed to be supporting the heavens themselves. The pillars looked nothing extraordinary except for their size.
Many devils sat in front of them with their eyes closed. They seemed to want to find opportunities from these pillars.
Although they looked nothing extraordinary to most people, in Wu Hong's eyes, these pillars were four gigantic bodies with countless runes on top of them: they were the four Devil Gods that she previously sealed.
As she watched them, she could feel that they were extremely weak because of being sealed for so long. Wu Hong did not pay attention to them and checked the seal on them.
And as expected, nothing was wrong with it. After all, she placed it herself and she knew how powerful it was. After nodding her head in satisfaction, she was prepared to leave.
However, she felt something was wrong. As a powerful cultivator, she is in harmony with Heaven and Earth. If she feels that something is wrong, there must be a reason.
Immediately, she released her Divine Sense to search the space of the seal, but nothing was discovered. She then calculated the secrets of heaven with her finger, but nothing was discovered as well.
Then, her pupils turned purple and she saw a bunch of threads attached to the Devil God's body. These threads were not Fate Lines, but Karma Threads.
Wu Hong looked at the thousand of threads, then she found one that was special; to be exact, her intuition told her that this was the one she was looking for.
She followed the thread; her vision broke through countless restrictions of space to reach the place where the thread was connected to.
Then, she saw a world that was connected to the Nine Devil God World. Additionally, this world was very well hidden. Most ordinary Great Emperors would not be able to find it.
As Wu Hong looked at this world, she frowned and thought to herself:
'Another thing that has changed in this timeline. And this time, the changes might not even be related to Wang Wei.'
Wu Hong understood the concept of the butterfly effect. A single change could lead to countless ripples. And in this case, the ripples might even spread across space and time.
After pondering for a brief moment, her vision continued to follow the thread and entered the world. She saw a large continent full of devils. At the center of that continent was where the most powerful force was located, and they happened to be the same race as the Devil God that she used the karma technique on.
Wu Hong continued to follow the thread, and she finally saw that it was connected to a young devil with a human face and two horns.
After seeing this, she then looked at the Karma Threads of the other 3 Devil Gods, and they all led to the same world, except that they were located on 3 other continents.
Wu Hong smirked and muttered: "I see. These guys plan to kill themselves, then use their bloodline descendants to revive themselves."
She did not care about these people's plans. How could it be that easy to get rid of her seal? In their situation, they can't kill themselves as her seal will actively prevent this.
After smirking for a few seconds, she continued to observe the four continents of that world. Unlike the Nine Devil God World, this small one is very prosperous with abundant spiritual energy and resources.
Additionally, all the devils living there are the most talented and with the best bloodline. All the powerhouses of their races currently reside in that world.
As she continued to observe, Wu Hong guessed that in this timeline, someone may have secretly helped the devil race preserve some strength, otherwise, with her sealing the Qi Luck of this entire race, they couldn't grow to that level.
"It seems that this Generation's Clean-Up will be quite interesting."
She did not care about this small world and the survival of the devil race. With her observation, she could see that the most powerful cultivator in that world was a Quasi-Emperor.
"Let's leave this mess for Wang Wei to fix.. Anyway, it's not my problem anymore."
