“It’s highly unlikely, I’ve always been cautious,” Qin Muye stated righteously.

“Alright, I’ll contact the others first, then take another trip to the Horror Universe,” Qin Muye said directly.

“Yes, but now that the crisis is over, naturally there’s no need to deal with Zeus. Do you want to mix in as a Divine King? It might be a bit impoverished, but it’s not dangerous, certainly safer than the Horror Universe,” Qin Muye pondered that if Hades and Persephone were to step down from their status as King and Queen of the Underworld, wouldn’t they be able to preside over his territory at any time?

“Speaking of which, I have a world called the Tidal World; it’s just a bit poor…” Qin Muye started to say.

“Yes, the Engineer, but the capture of the Arachnid Insect Race that you entrusted to him will take some time. He has found some of their tracks,” Hades explained.

“Yes, no one could have expected things to happen this fast,” Qin Muye said somewhat emotionally.

“Yes, I’ve been dealing with it. The vanguard of the Arachnid Insect Race has arrived, seemingly planning to colonize the entire planet. Unfortunately, these parasitic bugs are too weak; they couldn’t even penetrate their own skin,” Hades briefed Qin Muye on the intelligence.

“Black Water? Did he find the Engineer’s spacecraft?” Qin Muye exclaimed with joy.

“Are you sure it wasn’t just your own restlessness?” Hades felt that if you hadn’t killed that so-called Demon Insect Dominator, it wouldn’t have come so quickly, although it was inevitable.

“What’s brought you back this time?” Seeing Qin Muye, Hades immediately thought that the lad was being restless again.

“You can make the contact yourself. Anyway… right, Cronus passed a message when he came through the portal before, saying he seems to have found something you wanted—Black Water or something like that,” Hades recalled something suddenly and then spoke.

“Oh, coming back for reinforcements, the foe you encountered this time is even more formidable,” Qin Muye said bluntly.

“Wasn’t he busy cleaning up Hell? How does he have time to deal with these things?” Qin Muye asked curiously.

Even in the grand world of the Insect Race, a level 8 character is not ordinary, and even the most prominent worlds could not have level 8s as common as dogs or level 9s walking everywhere.

After all, Black Water is the precursor to the aliens, and it seems to have far more compatibility in terms of evolution.

However, the Arachnid Insect Race’s thoughts were of little concern to Qin Muye; he was more than eager for these bugs to foolishly seek out Cronus, and then he could catch them all in one go. Qin Muye intended to incorporate the four major interstellar civilizations into his arsenal, which might not take off, but it would certainly advance his existing systems.

But the likelihood was slim; Zeus wouldn’t give it up. He wanted the Tidal World just to send Poseidon away and then take control of the Ocean domain himself.

Yet these matters didn’t concern Qin Muye too much; after all, he’d rather spend the time studying something.

Besides Hercules, Prometheus, and Hecate, Qin Muye thought for a moment and decided to invite some other individuals, ruling out the main gods from Mount Olympus as they were not quite suitable.

With Black Water, one might just have the complete knowledge of the Engineer civilization.

With these powerful Titans in charge, even if 8th-level bugs from the Insect Nest Planet pose a threat, he didn’t believe there would be many of them.

He needed to acquire the legacy of the Engineer civilization. Although there was only one pale humanoid and one spaceship left, he estimated that he could scavenge quite a bit from them.

He returned alone to the Netherworld within the Fairy Tale World, not bringing the entire Endless Abyss with him, as it wasn’t a major issue. Here, he didn’t have to worry about being betrayed or assassinated.

He simply briefed Hades on the situation with the Insect Nest Planet.

On the other hand, the Great Nether Dynasty had seen quite a few upheavals—news intentionally spread by some scheming person. In just half a day, the entire Great Nether Dynasty was abuzz, seemingly attempting to pressure Emperor Shen You.

Gaia was in a similar situation, available for a call in times of crisis.

Not to mention the existence of Eden Garden.

Besides, this was the palace of Hades—who would dare attack him here?

Hades and Persephone could indeed leave, yet only for a time, and not for too long.

Hades shook his head, “Forget it, it’s quite nice here. Even if I were to become a Divine King, I couldn’t rule the world anyway.”

Hades had made a precise calculation, which is why he was loath to leave. Weighing the effort of striving anew against the luxury of staying put and enjoying power, and having someone to cover for him should trouble arise, Hades chose luxury over power.

Hades looked at Qin Muye with eyes that saw him as a harbinger of disaster: “I recall you just sent Hercules and Prometheus back a few days ago.”

The negotiation went smoothly as there were not many details to discuss; it was simply a matter of one replacing another, and one killing another.

Even without those, with Engineer and Black Water around, Qin Muye was in for a profit.

Even if there were no Titan Divine Race on Earth Planet, the Spirit Monsters and Evil Spirits birthed from Hell were not something these insects could covet.

Did they not see that three of the four major interstellar civilizations in the cosmic were scrapped, and yet this half-ruined Arach insect race still had the audacity to come here? This was not how you deliver a meal.

The gods of the Netherworld are loyal to the Hades. If Hades relinquished his role as Hades and went to another world to be a Divine King, he most certainly could not take any of the gods with him; at best, he could only take Cerberus.

Qin Muye sized up Hades; he did not expect the ambitious Hades to cower, or rather, to face reality.

Qin Muye found it unbelievable. The Arach insect race was actually coming to die?

And then, well, the slaughter commenced, with heads rolling. Under normal circumstances, Emperor Shen You would indeed indulge in political schemes with them. But what was the time now? Fixated on these things, as a result, Emperor Shen You took the opportunity to purge the Warlock Dynasty of various bloated elements.

If things went smoothly, with the aid of Black Water in the Insect Race’s invasion of the Warlock Dynasty, Qin Muye would be able to delve more easily into the research of the 7th-tier Spirit Monsters.

His strength was now comparable to that of an average member of the Titan Divine Race. Though he could not match those renowned and powerful Titans, he was capable of self-preservation.

In reality, it was equivalent to him becoming a Divine King himself, and he even considered sending Zeus to another world to be a Divine King to avoid a major upheaval when the curse took effect.

After dispatching Poseidon, he would then send Hades away. At that time, authority over the sky, the ocean, the Netherworld, the Mortal World, and so on would all be consolidated in his hands—a return of power, so to speak.

Although Hades and Cronus still hardly got along, because of Qin Muye, this father and son had certain shared interests that led to considerable interaction, albeit through a mediator.

He did not have as many offspring as Zeus and Poseidon, whom could even recreate the Divine System without issue. If he were to be a Divine King alone, ruling over a group of mortals, what meaning would it have? It would be the same as it is now.

He believed the Demon Insect Dominator to be a cursed nuisance, so he killed it as a matter of caution. Quite normal.

He understood that Hell was not so easy to cleanse, with hundreds of thousands of Hells to consider, not to mention those formidable beings, even the top one hundred Hells weren’t simple to clear out.

The Fairy Tale World was the same, and it was only because Qin Muye held high position there, he was always among the mighty. But were he to leave the Netherworld, in reality, compared to mortals, the Titan Divine Race’s numbers were tiny.

He could believe there was a large number of 7th-tier Insect Race, but a large number of 8th-tier was impossible. That was merely a strategic weapon. Having three to five 8th-tier instances would be plenty, let alone if the entire Insect Race world really came to invade all-out. Otherwise, having several hundred military district commanders on a single aircraft carrier? That would be unreal.

The Xenomorphs could be said to be Biological Weapons, so this Black Water was the key.

Before that, he needed to make a trip to the Fairy Tale World—it was necessary to call for some family elders to hold the fort.

After realizing the gap between himself and Cronus, he understood he simply did not have enough people to help him rule the world.

He had to start from scratch, not like Cronus with an established ruling system in place.

The conversation was not yet over when Hades interrupted, “Wasn’t that supposed to be for Zeus?”

As for the rest, it was time to visit Cronus. If there’s no rush, borrowing Typhon and his wife and son could be an option.
