“What is that?”

    On the bustling streets of Willis, suddenly someone looked up to the sky.

    This action immediately triggered a herd effect.

    More and more people looked up at the sky, countless mouths agape in shock!

    In the sky, a portal suddenly appeared, countless snowflakes poured down, scattering all over the city.

    At that moment, Willis’s ring-shaped magic tower suddenly lit up, a magic beam shot up into the sky!

    In an instant, the beam resembled a sharp sword stabbing straight at the portal!

    “Buzz!”

    Amidst a tooth-aching sound of vibrations, dazzling light shone from both the beam and the portal, like a helium flash, overshadowing all colors of the world, daring to rival the sun!

    At the moment the light exploded, an egg-shell-like magic shield opened up over Willis City.

    It blocked the wanton energy shockwave!

    The strong light made Willis citizens instinctively cover their eyes, and countless people had a terrifying thought flash through their minds—are we going to war again?

    Panic spread among the people.

    Countless citizens fled to their homes in terror, while others rushed to bank branches.

    At this moment, scattered sheets of paper floated down from the sky, like heavy snowfall.

    Someone caught a piece of paper, on it was a prayer written in Kewell’s official language, it was the Underworld God’s prayer.

    At this moment, not just in Willis City, but above almost twenty cities of Quever, portals split open raining innumerable flyers.

    It wasn’t limited to the Kewell Empire!

    Beyer Empire, Karman United Republic, Vis Els, Prane United Kingdom, Gordon Prairie, Snowfields tribes… countless nations and regions were inundated with flyers.

    In this multiverse, the strategy pioneered by the Internet God was eventually brought to fruition by the Underworld God!

    In a single night, the Dark Web became known worldwide.

    On the Internet, it was a frenzy!

    “Everyone don’t panic, it’s not a war, it’s not a war! The official website has already refuted the rumors!”

    “Oh my gosh, I almost thought it was a war, scared me to death.”

    “Did you see? The Underworld God actually created a Dark Web!”

    “Has anyone logged in? Can you describe what’s going on?”

    “I logged in, it’s amazing! It directly appears in the soul, almost identical to the Internet interface.”

    “When I logged into the Dark Web, I was dumbfounded. Is this not just the Internet? So shameless, it’s completely a copycat!”

    “It’s hilarious, copying the Internet and dared to launch it, utter humiliation!”

    “This is outrageous! Not only did they copy my masterpieces, but they even copied my nickname!”

    Countless Internet users passionately discussed this on forums, in social groups, and on Q&A platforms.

    Some were shocked!

    Some were bewildered!

    Of course, Kewell citizens, who were already familiar with the flourishing Internet, could only mock the Dark Web’s mimicry and its bland content, despite its surprising presentation.

    “Has anyone logged into the ‘Followers of the Underworld God’? It seems pretty good!”

    “To be fair, the Dark Web seems pretty nice too. You can view it in your soul, perfect for sneaking in music during work.”

    “The Dark Web seems to enable plundering wealth from other planes, and you can exchange it at Dark Web banks. Although there’s no Dark Web bank here, will it open?”

    “I must say, controlling the undead feels quite interesting, leveling is more intriguing than the [Conquest Sub-Dimension].”

    Besides the mockers, some discovered the advantages of the Dark Web.

    In no time, many couldn’t resist their curiosity, logged into the Dark Web, offering the Underworld God a torrent of Source Essence.

    The reaction of Kewell citizens familiar with the Internet was as expected, and even more so in other countries and regions.

    Those commoners long oppressed by the nobility suddenly learned of the Dark Web’s existence, seeing the classified knowledge of magic and Battle Qi, the discussions in forums, and heard the songs from the Music Temple.

    This divine miracle’s impact on commoners was absolutely tsunami-level!

    In almost a single night, the Azaea Continent underwent a major reshuffle!

    Momentarily, Gods were furious, deploying their elite forces!

    However, upon entering cities and towns, the huge legion was bewildered again.

    Where was the enemy?

    Where?

    Tell me where?

    Was it the papers on the ground and in the sky?

    Was it the believers trembling in their homes?

    Was it the citizens desperately wailing for not logging into the Dark Web?

    At this moment, no matter how powerful the legion was, against this unseen enemy, they were left helpless!

    ……

    ……

    Yu Sheng’an stood at the back of the Dragon Factory’s mansion, looking up at the flyers falling from the sky.

    Around him, figures appeared one by one.

    Goddess of Music Afnora, God of Prophecy Phobos, Archmage Dundar, Archmage Zimor, Archmage Besse.

    The crowd looked at the flyers falling in the sky, deeply shaken.

    When they were gradually realizing the superiority of the Internet, and were proud of it, none expected the Underworld God to immediately replicate the Internet’s miracle, mimicking the Internet God’s strategy and spreading it wildly.

    This scene dealt their morale a heavy blow.

    “Ajef, besides the Idès and the Five Prime Gods’ preaching areas on Azaea Continent, every other place was flooded with the Underworld God’s flyers.”

    Goddess of Music Afnora couldn’t help but remind.

    Yu Sheng’an withdrew his gaze from the sky, his heart seething with extreme anger, but his face bore a bright smile.

    At this moment, he couldn’t collapse, much less rage.

    Because this would signify impotence!

    He was the backbone of the Internet pantheon, and at critical moments, he had to shoulder the responsibility of being the backbone.

    “Haha, everyone, our spring has finally arrived!”

    “Spring?”

    The Kewell Three Archmages, with extremely heavy hearts, were baffled by his words.

    In such a dire situation, the Internet God could still laugh. Could there be more to this?

    “You mean… follow up?”

    Prophecy God Phobos, using his prophecy prowess, keenly deduced a possibility.

    Of course, he could deduce this mainly because Yu Sheng’an once mentioned it.

    “That’s right!”

    Yu Sheng’an snapped his fingers, feigning excitement.

    “The Underworld God has guts. He did something I’ve always wanted but dared not do. Haha, now it’s good. He attracts fire, and we can take advantage! Is there anything more satisfying? Phobos, the flyers are ready. Can you spread them across the Azaea Continent in a day?”

    “I will not fail, Mr. Ajef!” Prophecy God Phobos saluted over his chest.

    “Very good! The Dark Web has its benefits, and our Internet has its advantages. Now it’s time for propaganda!”

    Yu Sheng’an looked at the Kewell Three Archmages.

    “Return and publicly denounce the Underworld God’s actions on the Empire’s official website, while thoroughly analyzing the Dark Web, highlighting and magnifying its shortcomings and flaws. Remember, use a scientific approach, rigorous wording, impeccable logic, and actual cases to dissect the Dark Web’s drawbacks.”

    “Like, logging into the Dark Web may deplete one’s soul, leading to reduced intelligence or even decreased magic aptitude.”

    “Like, logging into the Dark Web not only allows the Underworld God to pry into privacy but also marks the soul, becoming the Underworld God’s food after death.”

    “Beyond this, list the benefits of the Internet. For instance, the Internet God will sign a ‘Privacy Agreement’ with all users, guaranteeing never to invade privacy by contract, ensuring user privacy rights.”

    “Highlight that the Dark Web’s content is entirely plagiarized from the Internet; only the Internet’s content is authentic and comprehensive.”

    “Also, logging into the [Conquest Sub-Dimension] requires no loyalty, allowing shared magic and magical training enhancement.”

    “In short, remember this: accentuate strengths and avoid weaknesses.”

    Yu Sheng’an added:

    “People say magicians are bookworms; let them see the power of the pen!”

    These words touched the Kewell Three Archmages deeply, stirring an inexplicable feeling of excitement.

    This was a kind of recognition and approval!

    “Leave it to us!” the Kewell Three Archmages replied.

    Yu Sheng’an turned to the Goddess of Music Afnora.

    “Afnora, you have the best contacts. I need you to negotiate with the Gods to acquire the right to spread divine magic in their preaching areas! After this wave from the Underworld God, banning networks is impossible. They will agree to your demands. Of course, we need to pay some cost. Firearms, high-end weaponry, or even the bicycle production line could be the stakes.”

    “Yes!” Afnora gladly nodded.

    “Alright, everyone, it’s time to show your prowess!”

    Yu Sheng’an clapped his hands.

    The crowd agreed enthusiastically, then teleported away.

    The Internet pantheon alliance officially began to exert force.

    As everyone teleported away, the excitement in Yu Sheng’an’s expression slowly receded, and his eyes were filled with intense anger.

    The Underworld God’s madness infected him!

    Madmen always have a 50% chance of success!

    I was too conservative before!

    Alright!

    Isn’t it just madness? I’ll join in to the end!

    Yu Sheng’an took a deep breath and turned to his private residence.

    He pushed open his private office door to find the Goddess of Music Afnora, who had supposedly left, leaning coquettishly against the desk, like a chic urban lady.

    “Anything?” Afnora looked at Yu Sheng’an.

    Yes, she had just left when Yu Sheng’an sent her a message asking her to wait for him in his private office.

    So, Afnora instantly projected herself there.

    “I need Source Essence!” Yu Sheng’an wore a serious expression.

    Plans cannot keep up with changes. He could no longer foolishly accumulate Source Essence.

    The Underworld God is so reckless!

    If I don’t go all out now, once the early advantage is lost, regaining it later will require a hundredfold or even a thousandfold effort.

    Most importantly, he could no longer underestimate the multiverse gods.

    Who knows if another ‘Clear Web’ would suddenly emerge among them?

    So he had to give it his all!

    “How much?”

    “Twelve billion units.”

    Afnora’s pupils constricted rapidly, and the office instantly fell into dead silence.
