644 Mysteries of Immortality? (1/2)

What was behind the gate?

'Mecantron', the Angel King who was standing on the other end of the Pathway of Immortality, also asked himself. What exactly was the mysteries of immortality that so many experts tried to touch?

Rudolf II, who had already turned into 'Mecantron', did not bother with his current form. He narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, ”After I learn the mysteries of immortality, I'll find a chance to kill Lucien Evans and Rhine Carendia. I don't think that the Silver Moon can arrive at this place.”

The mysteries of immortality obviously could not be shared!

As for why he did not attack the two of them immediately, Rudolf II was certainly glad that somebody eliminated dangers ahead of them. Who knew what was behind the gate of immortality?

What was behind the gate?

The Lord of Hell, hiding inside the Pathway of Immortality in a weird form, looked at Lucien and Rhine up ahead and the 'Angel King' nearby, and asked himself.

The World of Souls had always been inconspicuous. Even in the age of myths, he only detected that there was such a secret world but failed to find the entrance. He never really got in touch with the World of Souls for real until the Master of Argent discovered the place by accident. At that time, the mysterious existence of the World of Souls was almost recovered and showed the traces of immortality to the Lich King and his other subordinates.

Therefore, he also learnt about the Chamber of Immortality and part of the secrets of the Saint Truth. Their thousand years of planning and failures were all for this moment!

As long as the gate was opened, the mysteries of immortality would be unfolded before him!

Although they were natural-born demigods, the Lord of Hell believed that Silver Moon, Abyss and himself gained the initial self-awareness only when the age of myths began. They were not part of the creation of the world and life. So, they did not know much about how and why the world came into being.

Also, he had the vision that, even though he would not die as long as hell existed, the hell would rot and be destroyed with the entire world someday. Nothing was really everlasting. That was why he was so passionate about the mysteries of immortality.

As for the mysterious existence of the World of Souls, the Lord of Hell believed that he gained his consciousness in the same period, but he perished inside the Pathway of Immortality that he found in his hometown before he had the chance the share the glory of the age of myths. He could only return after a long time. However, trapped by himself and the Silver Moon, he fell into dormancy again. His life was truly miserable.

”The mysteries are only for me, Maltimus, the Lord of Hell! I have already understood the mysteries of transformation. I'll arrive in person and erase Rhine Carendia, Lucien Evans and Mecantron before the Silver Moon reacts!”

By sacrificing the body of Geno, the Lord of Hell was confident to arrive in person at a non-main-material world!

What was behind the gate?

Lucien and Rhine were so enthralled by the question that their soul was almost suffocated. Why were Thanos, Viken and the monster disappointed? Would he see something different?

The grey door seemed to be as heavy as a whole palace. Lucien used a lot of strength to open a tiny gap.

The moment the gap appeared, the door suddenly lost weight and moved backwards, revealing what was inside the Chamber of Immortality to Lucien and the rest of them!

There were no walls, bricks or any object inside the Chamber of Immortality; behind the door was the most vast cosmos that was emitting a supernatural, condescending air.

Profound darkness was all over the cosmos. Stars radiate their brilliance and gathered into bright constellations, which only added to the coldness and boundless feeling of the cosmos.

Lucien was stunned at first. He extended his right hand subconsciously and penetrated through the stars without meeting any hindrance. They seemed to be here but were not here, just like the Furnace of Souls.

However, it had a weird sense of compatibility with this world.

The galaxies inside the cosmos changed like a movie, zooming in nonstop until a familiar star appeared before Lucien. Familiar still was the blue planet next to it!

”This is…” Lucien's pupils constricted abruptly, and a weird sense of familiarity surged.

Is it Earth?

It is Earth!

This is the cosmos I was in before I transmigrated!

”Is this the mystery of immortality?” Lucien blurted out, with intense shock and confusion.

”Is this the mystery of immortality?” Rhine sounded apparently surprised, disappointed and confused. A silver moon suddenly rose from his back, and the air of Silver Moon in Lucien's left hand jumped out, accepting the illumination of moonlight.

Everything about Lucien had been transformed into the weird ghost state. The cluster of air was no exception. It grew into Alterna very soon.

”A projection has arrived…” When they encountered the monster, Lucien speculated that Alterna would help him deal with the monster through Rhine, but it did not happen. He did not know that Alterna would arrive with a projection by Rhine's summoning and the air in his left hand.

So, that was why Alterna left air in his left hand. That was really 'visionary'!

Alterna appeared as innocent as before. Looking at the cosmos inside the Chamber of Immortality, she said in a daze, ”Where's it mean? Is this the mysteries of immortality?”

”Is this the mysteries of immortality?” The Angel King asked uncontrollably in his surprise and disappointment, his voice reaching Lucien's ears.
