Chapter 232: The First Abyssal Reform Congress!

TL: YYang

Chen Bai’s figure instantly appeared on the 350th Layer of the Abyss!

Then, he appeared on the 400th layer, the 437th layer, and finally, in the void of the 600th Layer of the Abyss.

Moments later, three Abyssal Gates opened.

Mekanshut, Winifred, and Gabul appeared together!

Typically, Abyssal Lords, even those at the level of true gods, could not leave their own territories for long periods. Moreover, their ability to act in other regions or layers of the Abyss was significantly restricted.

The Abyss granted them immense power, but it also imposed significant limitations.

However, the authority of the Abyssal Overlord could temporarily reduce these restrictions. As long as they refrained from direct combat, there were no serious issues. Over time, as Chen Bai’s strength grew and his mastery over the Abyss deepened, this ability would naturally become more potent.

Leading the Abyssal gods to conquer other worlds was not an impossible dream!

“My, my, I never expected the Overlord to persuade even Mr. Winifred. Truly, this surprises me.”

Mekanshut, clad in a blood-red form-fitting soft armor, had a thorn-covered whip wrapped around her slender waist like a belt, accentuating her unparalleled figure.

As soon as her voice rang out, Winifred and Gabul immediately retreated, putting as much distance as possible between themselves and the alluring Demon Queen, the embodiment of Lust.

This reaction alone revealed the terrifying extent of Mekanshut’s influence.

Gabul’s form shifted abruptly from a man in a black robe to a skeleton draped in the same dark garment. Only then did he speak:

“Overlord, what exactly do you mean by your earlier statement?”

Chen Bai glanced at the three Abyssal Lords, so distinct in their appearances, and smiled:

“The Abyss is chaotic beyond measure, with countless demons locked in endless slaughter. Now that I hold the Abyssal Authority, I aim to reform the Abyss—bringing order to its chaos and steadily strengthening its power!

As Lords of the Abyss, the Abyss’s growth will naturally enhance your respective domains and powers. What do you think?”

The three exchanged glances. Chen Bai’s words were logical. For various reasons, they were tied to the Abyss, their existence inseparable from it. If the Abyss’s essence grew stronger, their powers would undoubtedly rise.

Gabul, the most rational of the three, spoke again:

“Overlord, forgive my bluntness. While you wield the Abyssal Authority, your strength is still too feeble. To truly command the Abyss, you will need an extremely long time to grow!

The Abyssal Will would not permit us to assist you in taking control of the Abyss. Moreover, we are unable to act on the surface layers of the Abyss.”

The Abyssal Will, a power born of the Abyss itself, was cold and unyielding, akin to the harsh precision of mechanical programming.

Without meeting its stringent requirements, no one could fully master it.

It would not allow anyone to cheat their way to power.

Chen Bai nodded:

“I am well aware of my current limitations. Rest assured, I will find a way to grow stronger. The purpose of summoning you here is not to ask for your help in enhancing my strength, but to discuss whether you have any constructive suggestions for reforming the Abyss!”

Among Winifred’s many heads, most showed little interest. Only the fourth head adjusted its glasses with the tip of its tongue, then pondered briefly before speaking:

“The Overlord’s idea is excellent. If feasible, we would be willing to support changes to the Abyss’s current state. However, we are still unsure what kind of transformations your authority can enact.”

“Anything is possible!”

These three words carried tremendous weight.

While slightly exaggerated, within the layers of the Abyss under Chen Bai’s control, it was no less than the truth.

He could establish rules, such as drawing a circle.

Under the rule-making authority of the Power of the Abyss, anyone who committed acts of slaughter within that circle would be directly punished by the Abyssal power.

This was the most straightforward expression of the authority granted by the Power of the Abyss.

In addition, he could enact changes to individual layers of the Abyss.

These changes could affect not only the demon populations but also certain unique terrains, all of which could be modified.

However, such alterations required the consumption of his own energy and could not rely solely on the Power of the Abyss.

This was the primary reason Chen Bai had confidence in implementing reforms within the Abyss.

When these three words—”anything is possible”—were spoken, even the three true gods before him showed visible reactions.

The Soul Flames within Gabul’s skeletal form flickered with envy and jealousy.

He was a later convert to the Abyss, having once served as a subordinate deity of an ancient Death God, acting as the Ferryman of the Underworld.

After the fall of the ancient Death God, the authority of death was divided among various entities. Possibly to evade the Reaper, Gabul had merged with the Abyss, allowing the Underworld and the 400th Layer of the Abyss to fuse together, whereupon the Abyss accepted him.

Naturally, he understood the boundless might and immeasurable power of the Abyssal Will.

Meanwhile, Mekanshut’s gaze toward Chen Bai became even more seductive, her watery eyes gleaming with interest. Her long, shapely legs instinctively pressed closer together at this revelation.

As for Winifred, while the fourth head showed no change, the pitch-black first head and the perpetually sleepy eighth head both opened their eyes briefly to look at Chen Bai.

That single glance caused the Abyssal power shielding Chen Bai to activate instinctively, illustrating the terrifying strength of these normally dormant heads.

“Overlord, could you elaborate on your ideas? What specific changes do you envision for the Abyss?”

Finally, they had arrived at the main topic. Chen Bai did not hesitate to share:

“I have a good relationship with the God of Trade, Redo. In the future, he will establish a Goblin Merchant Guild within the Abyss, creating a hub for transactions. At the same time, I plan to designate certain areas within the Abyss as safe zones…”

“The Goblin?!”

Gabul raised his skeletal brow slightly, clearly familiar with Redo.

Winifred also nodded. The Abyss had always been synonymous with savagery, chaos, and bloodlust. Even currency held little sway in this place, which often made Winifred feel a sense of unreality when reading about economic systems in books.

Mekanshut’s interest was piqued as well: “If safe zones are indeed established, might the succubi set up certain… specialized businesses in those areas?”

Chen Bai was speechless. True to form, the Demon Queen of Lust could not go three sentences without veering in that direction.

Nevertheless, these were undeniably valuable suggestions.

In summary, the First Abyssal Reform Congress proceeded rather successfully.
