Chapter 1260 The Yamas Prefecture (1/2)

”What else could be more important than my own life? I can't protect anyone aside from myself. That's why I can't make any promises to you.” The child adamantly refused. He apparently didn't think very highly of the divine weapon or the cultivation methods.

Now that the child really couldn't agree, Jenifer decided to just give up on the idea completely.

”I respect your decision.” She then went on, ”But I do have some questions for you. Could you answer them for me?”

”No problem. You can ask me anything. I'll tell you everything I know.”

”Okay.” Jenifer nodded and cleared her throat before asking, ”What is this place? I can't say I believe in the underworld. Moreover, why did these people come here?”

”Ha-ha! You have sharp eyes.” The boy chuckled and said, ”The Primitive Wilderness is full of gods. It's true that there is no such thing as an underworld.

Plus, we're all living creatures here. Have you ever heard of the nine regions and the ten prefectures?”

”Of course I have. Who hasn't?”

”Well, this place is called the Yama's Prefecture, and its ruler is called Yama. In fact, Yama is actually also a human being. Rumor has it, he firmly believes in the existence of the netherworld, so he built this place to recreate it,” the child explained.

Hearing this, Jenifer furrowed her brows in confusion and said, ”As far as I know, there isn't a Yama's Prefecture within the nine regions and ten prefectures.”

She had lived in the abyss for so many years already. Jenifer knew the names of the nine regions and the ten prefectures like the back of her hand, but she'd never heard of Yama's Prefecture. Moreover, the nine regions and ten prefectures were on the land of the Primitive Wilderness. How could they appear in the abyss?

”One thing you don't know is that the nine regions and ten prefectures have never been fixed since ancient times. They are constantly changing. This Yama's Prefecture was a powerful force in the ancient times, but it was later replaced by a new and more powerful force. They were then expelled from the land of the Primitive Wilderness to the abyss, so most people had no knowledge of the Yama's Prefecture.

They were once a force to be reckoned with,” the boy said.

After hearing this, Jenifer nodded in understanding. She could feel this explanation was legitimate.
