Chapter 638 - The Abyss (1/2)
Qiu Jin'er nodded. Other than the godly spirits, she tried nearly every delicacy available in Hell. She even plundered and stored tonnes of food in her Yuan Shen secret realms.
However, even the food she stored fell victim to her as she couldn't really stop her mouth from munching. Thus, she could only keep asking for more food from the officers.
As a result, her liking for food was now widely known throughout Hell. All kinds of delicacies were served for her, some even cooked their mounts just to please the gluttonous Hell Overseer.
Qiu Jin'er had so much fun and nearly forgot the fact that she was a fake Hell Overseer.
Some of the Hell guardians had even killed their beloved mounts just to please me. If I am revealed to be a fake Hell Overseer, they will definitely not let me go easily. Senior martial brother is right, we need to leave as soon as possible!
After they rescue the 'bad guy' Bi and An requested for, their trip to Hell would be completed, and they would be able to leave by then.
Rays flashed across his eyes, he asked one of the officers to summon Lan Si God, then he asked, "Is the demon god that devoured millions of souls still here?"
As the Hell Overseers' first and only follower, Lan Si God proclaimed himself as Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er cronies, and was thus well-treated by the other Hell guardians.
Upon hearing Zhong Yue, Lan Si God quickly took out the demon god's soul as he answered humbly, "Here."
Zhong Yue nodded, "I will personally see the sinner into the Abyss and imprison him for eternity!"
The Hell officer immediately laughed, "Such a small matter, there's no need to trouble the great emissary! The brothers can do it for you, dear emissary."
Zhong Yue lightly shook his head, an expression like a smile radiated across his face and he asked, "Oh? Do you really think so?"
The Hell officer was puzzled, he was just simply flattering Zhong Yue, but who knew Zhong Yue would retort sternly.
Zhong Yue gave a cold hum, "How do you think I should return to the higher-ups without any achievements? Prosecuting and sentencing this demon god to the Abyss is the meritorious service I have prepared for myself. If you or your brothers are the ones that did it, then is this your meritorious service or mine?"
Cold sweat burst out of the Hell officer's forehead, he shivered in fear and abruptly, he said, "Then, let the humble one lead the way for the great emissaries."
"Well then, do your job." Zhong Yue nodded. The Hell officer immediately walked to the front and lead the way. Zhong Yue looked back, Lan Si God was still boasting with the Hell guardians on the A'Bi City wall, even gladly accepting every gift from the officers.
After Jin'er and I left, Lan Si God will definitely be skinned and tortured by the guardians. But whatever, Lan Si is not a good man either.
Not long after, they reached the front of the Abyss. There, it felt like they had walked into another dimension.
The Six Paths World and Hell shared the same space but a different dimension with different laws of heaven and earth.
And now, Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er felt the same change of atmosphere when walking closer to the Abyss. It felt as though the laws of heaven and earth were fading away, everything around was dead and withered.
"This feeling… It felt the same as the one that shrouded the Ancestral Star!" Xin Huo exclaimed in shock.
Zhong Yue thought, and surely enough, it was the same feeling that was brewing in the Ancestral Star.
However, it was much more extreme here compared to the Ancestral Star. After all, gods weren't suppressed in the Ancestral Star, whereas in here, even Deity Emperors would be wholly suppressed.
"The Abyss required a key to open, if there wasn't anyone leading the way, even the emissaries might not be able to find the way in." The Hell officer smiled and said as he opened the Abyss.
Zhong Yue looked over and pondered deeply at the totem patterns engraved on the Gate of Abyss. The totem patterns were incredibly complex and were even incessantly changing with every second. Even the Hell officer, who was a Heavenly Deity, was panting while unlocking the gate.
If this can unlock the seals on the Abyss, it might also clear the seals placed on the Ancestral Star.
Zhong Yue thought, rays flashed across his eyes and his divine eyes opened furtively as he stared at the changes of the totem patterns.
It took one whole hour for the Hell officer to unlock the gate, Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er walked into the Abyss while the Hell officer was leading them in front.
They glanced around and found themselves situated in the middle of a pitch black space. There wasn't any referencing objects they could use to determine their positions. There were no lights or sounds; they couldn't even hear their own footsteps or heartbeat.
Silence.
It was deathly silence.
Qiu Jin'er couldn't help but grip Zhong Yue's hand tighter. The absolute silence in the Abyss could easily drive a person insane. To be trapped in a space with absolute no sensory stimuli was a fate worse than even the cruelest torture.
However, those here were imprisoned for eternity until their souls withered away!
But those that would be imprisoned here were all the strong and powerful figures, some had even cultivated the Six Paths Wheel and had a lifespan of over a hundred thousand years!
"I'm sorry, I've forgotten that the emissaries couldn't see in the Abyss. Please forgive me." The Hell officer's said with his psyche.
