1573 The Island of Oblivion (2/2)
”Oh, what about the Tomb Torturers?”
”Them? What else can they get? They are doomed to be slaves forever. They can never be promoted, nor freed from their roles. Besides, they find their job enjoyable. Even the strongest vengeful spirit is under their control once they are dragged in here,” Shreev said.
Mo Fan wondered if the Queen of the Netherworld would share the same miserable ending as the tormented souls if she was here. After all, even though these Tomb Torturers were not good at fighting, they had the deadliest weapons against spirits!
Meos brought up an important question. ”Speaking of which, do you know where the Gate of the Underworld is?”
”I've read many ancient records left behind by the Pharaohs. I've also conducted a thorough research on the three Pharaohs in Gisele. Khufu once told them that the end of the world is at the end of the Sea of Bitterness. If you face the opposite direction from the sun there, you will see the Dark Shore, where the undying are from,” Shreev said.
”The Sea of Bitterness? Does it even exist?” Heidi asked.
”The Sea of Bitterness refers to an island on the Red Sea, the Island of Oblivion. The water nearby is formed from the tears of billions of living creatures,” Mo Fan interjected.
Mo Fan had read about the legend while he was at the Parthenon Temple. The Greek God of Death Hayla gave Mo Fan quite a great shock during their first encounter. Mo Fan purposely did some research on the mystical creature at the Parthenon Temple.
”There's a monster on the Island of Oblivion. Its name is Hayla, the guardian of the World of Darkness. If you tell him that you're heading to the Underworld, he won't trouble you,” Shreev agreed.
”Why are we discussing these ancient legends here? Where exactly is the Gate of the Underworld? Brother, we are inside a Pyramid, not on the Red Sea!” Zhao Manyan said impatiently.
”The real entrance of the Underworld is on the Island of Oblivion. It's the entrance we are planning to open, but no one can see the Island of Oblivion from the Red Sea. The Island of Oblivion will only appear when the deathlight of the Great Pyramid of Giza is shining upon the Red Sea. Once we find the Island of Oblivion with the help of the deathlight, we'll find the Gate of the Underworld too!” Shreev declared.
Mo Fan only knew pieces of information about the Gate of the Underworld. He finally managed to combine the pieces together after hearing Shreev's explanation!
”What am I even listening to!?” Zhao Manyan was utterly confused.
”Old Zhao, the Great Pyramid of Giza is the back door, while the Island of Oblivion at the Red Sea is the front door. However, the front door's key is in Khufu's hands,” Mo Fan explained it to him.
It was meaningless to open the entrance to the Underworld inside the Great Pyramid of Giza. There was no way the undead from the Ancient Capital could force their way into the Pyramid. The only way for the Ancient Capital's undead to reach the Underworld was through the gate on the Island of Oblivion!
”That means... the Great Pyramid of Giza is a mechanism that will make the Island of Oblivion appear?”
”The Dawn and Dusk Compass! When the hand points to the sunset, it will turn the light of the stars into the deathlight. We just need to point the hand to the Red Sea to direct the deathlight toward it. The Island of Oblivion will appear on its own!” Shreev said confidently.
”It's nothing but a mess. Just tell us what we should do,” Sayed sighed impatiently.
”Is the Island of Oblivion the entrance to the Dark Plane?” Heidi said.
Heidi was familiar with the different Planes since she was a Dimensional Mage.
There were different Planes in the world they lived in. The most typical ones were the Dark Plane and the Summoned Beast Plane. Otherwise, where would the Summoned Beasts and the undead normally come from?
The Underworld was considered a separate Plane that branched off from the Dark Plane, but rumors said the Underworld and the Dark Plane were actually connected...
