Shaliel's eyes stared directly at Jiang Yuan, who stood not far away, and gradually turned into ashes, scattering.
He finally understood why Jiang Yuan dared to kill an Archangel so wantonly.
It turned out that Jiang Yuan was the Underworld Monarch who shook the world.
Shaliel learned the truth too late; if he had known Jiang Yuan was the Underworld Monarch, he would never have dared to appear before him.
But none of that mattered anymore.
He was already dead.
At this very moment, at the western foothills of the Alps, in the ancient Holy City.
A wave of sorrow suddenly descended.
"Shaliel is dead?!" Michael looked up at the sky, his face filled with shock.
Shaliel was an Archangel; how could he have died for no reason?
Could it be that he encountered someone, or some powerful Emperor?
No matter how he guessed, he could not fathom how Shaliel had died.
Even the Heavenly Father only knew that Shaliel had died.
His angelic power had not even returned to the Plane of Light.
...
Sevenfold Underworld.
When Shaliel died, a golden-winged soul floated up from his bones, seemingly trying to escape the Underworld.
Amidst the gold, wisps of gray, like a spiderweb, covered the cracks.
"Is this Shaliel's soul?"
Jiang Yuan drew it over and examined it.
Strictly speaking, this was not entirely Shaliel's soul; the intensely fluctuating angelic power on it had almost completely erased Shaliel's consciousness.
Even if Shaliel were transformed into an Undead, he would not be the same Shaliel as before, but a completely different entity.
What would happen if Shaliel were transformed into an Undead?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan was very much looking forward to it.
He immediately began to transform this angelic soul, which was composed of angelic power and soul energy.
Austin wisely moved away from Jiang Yuan, finding a corner to lie down and sleep.
Time gradually passed like this.
Jiang Yuan used his Emperor power to fully transform the angelic soul and the bones Shaliel left behind.
Eventually, the gold on the angelic soul was covered by gray, and the entire soul emitted an unusual aura.
Jiang Yuan merged the transformed soul with the bones.
Suddenly, the bones rose into the air.
Gray-black light wings extended behind it.
Jiang Yuan counted them.
There were only six wings.
After being transformed into an Undead, its power was greatly reduced.
"Forget it, angelic power and Undead power are very conflicting forces. It's already quite good that it could be transformed into an Undead. Let's see how far the Six-Winged Death Angel can grow," Jiang Yuan comforted himself.
He had originally thought there would be ten wings, or at least eight.
Six wings were indeed a bit too few.
"From now on, you'll still be called Shaliel," Jiang Yuan was too lazy to come up with another name and directly said to the Death Angel Shaliel.
The name Shaliel is associated with Death in many stories, bearing the title "Wing of the Dying," which was perfectly suited for its name.
"Shaliel."
Shaliel was silent for a moment, then asked in its neutral voice, "Are you my creator?"
"Yes, you are my creation."
"You should submit to me."
"I am the ruler of Death."
"As a member of Death, you should still submit to me," Jiang Yuan said.
"As it should be."
Shaliel knelt down without hesitation, its wings folded, looking much like an ordinary bone Undead.
However, some subtle patterns on the bones indicated its difference from ordinary bone Undead.
"Go, the first layer of the Underworld is yours to rule," Jiang Yuan bestowed the rulership of the first layer of the Underworld.
That place contained all tangible bones.
Making Shaliel its ruler was perfect.
Although it only had six wings now, it was the same as a living angel; it could increase the number of its wings through cultivation.
After Shaliel went to the first layer, Jiang Yuan looked at the situation in the Netherworld Seventh Layer.
Nine Nether Queen was deciphering the formation, and the progress was almost complete.
The Three-Eyed Underworld Monarch was also absorbing the resources Jiang Yuan gave to it through slumber.
It had already reached the Arch-Monarch level, still far from being an Invincible Monarch.
For a long time to come, he probably wouldn't have much to do.
He had originally wanted to lure Queen Huangsha from the seabed, but now it seemed impossible.
He could only wait until she landed with the Sea God Clan.
Jiang Yuan closed his eyes.
His body sank to the deepest part of the Underworld.
Within his mental Space, different colors flashed continuously, far more dazzling than the starry sky of the main plane.
He was preparing for a self-awakening.
After his Undead System reached the Forbidden Curse, he still hadn't awakened a Forbidden Curse magic system.
In fact, it didn't matter whether he awakened or not.
What mattered most was how strong his innate talent was.
His achievements on the path of magic were not yet comparable to Mo Fan when he became the Human God of Law.
Mo Fan could eventually awaken all Elemental Magic Systems and Dimensional Magic Systems through the Creation Realm, becoming the Human God of Law.
And he was currently far from the Creation Realm.
Perhaps it was the lack of life-and-Death battles like Mo Fan's and countless combat experiences that led to his slow progress.
Imitation, Derivation, Fusion, Creation.
Strictly speaking, Jiang Yuan was still in Derivation among these four realms.
By using the Fusion method, he could access the powerful strength of the Fusion Realm.
This also showed how great Feng Zhoulong's All-Being Magic was.
When Jiang Yuan could completely and freely fuse and transform, that's when he would step into the Fusion Realm.
Jiang Yuan suspected that the Heavenly Father and Athena had reached the Creation Realm, with over ninety percent certainty.
...
The self-awakening began.
Although Jiang Yuan's current realm could not awaken more magic systems, choosing the magic systems he wanted was not a problem at all.
Based on previous awakening experiences.
The innate talent of Elemental Systems was clearly not as strong as Dimensional Systems, White Magic Systems, or Black Magic Systems.
So, he would not awaken an Elemental System this time.
Once he reached the Creation Realm, he could just awaken them all like Mo Fan.
Therefore, he had to choose two magic systems to awaken from the Dimensional Systems, White Magic Systems, and Black Magic Systems.
Among Dimensional Systems, he had awakened Space and Sound, still missing Chaos Element and Summoning System.
Among White Magic Systems, he had awakened Mind, Healing, and the Wish System (a variant of Light Element), still missing Plant.
As for Black Magic Systems, he had only awakened Undead System, still missing Shadow, Curse, and Poison.
Among the unawakened magic systems.
Jiang Yuan was actually very interested in both Chaos Element and Plant.
The power of Chaos Element goes without saying.
It was universally acknowledged that Chaos Element mages were the most difficult to deal with; their abilities were bizarre and varied, and the Chaos Element could ultimately control time and order.
If he awakened the Chaos Element, his innate talent would be highly anticipated.
As for why he was so interested in the low-profile Plant System.
It was because there were too few Plant System demons in the world; Plants were more often seen as natural treasures.
It should be known that in every extraordinary world, Plants and animals are extremely important.
That is to say, beast-type demons were rampant.
Yet, Plant-type demons, which should have been equally prominent, were extremely rare.
Perhaps awakening the Plant System would bring a great surprise.
