chapter 0524 part 2
The Middle-aged Man looked at the Ghost Gate and asked an Elder who seemed relatively clear-headed.
"Administrators? This is Helheim at the foot of Mount Tai, the most ancient Hell for imprisoning the souls of all Gods. Besides those two brothers Outside, there are no administrators here!" The Elder glanced at the Middle-aged Man and laughed mockingly.
"You're new. How is it that the style of your armor looks like it's from the Qin era?" The Elder looked at the Middle-aged Man suspiciously.
"I've been staying in the Mortal Realm. A few hundred years ago, the Ghost Messengers from the Underworld wanted to take me to the Underworld for reincarnation, but they couldn't find a ferry boat on the Yellow Springs that could carry me. Later, that guy named Yu Lei escorted me here!"
"Even the ferry boat on the Yellow Springs couldn't carry you, no wonder. It seems you're not an ordinary mortal either! Since you're here, just endure it slowly. I've been here for over a thousand years and haven't seen anyone escape!"
The Elder sighed: "Oh, right, what's your name?"
"Bai Qi!"
"Hiss!" Upon hearing the Middle-aged Man's words, the Elder's expression immediately became somewhat strange. He was originally an old wolf from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties period. Later, by chance opportunity, he gained sentience, and even stole the incense offerings / faith power of a God to become a God in the mouths of mortals.
However, due to the dynastic changes in the Mortal Realm at that time, these not-so-great Gods were also affected. If he had known that becoming a God meant coming to this ghost place after death, he wouldn't have coveted those ownerless incense offerings / faith power! The Elder had naturally heard of the name Killing God Bai Qi, and it resonated like thunder.
"So it is Lord Wu'an. This old man has been rude!" The Elder bowed slightly towards the Middle-aged Man.
"The Great Qin has been destroyed for a thousand years. There is no need to mention the words Lord Wu'an!" Because of some matters from that year, Bai Qi's soul lingered in the Mortal Realm for over two thousand years. He personally witnessed the successive changes of dynasties in the World. As time brought vast changes, he had come to terms with many things! The Elder and Bai Qi stood side by side not far from the Ghost Gate, watching the nearly hundred figures futilely attack the Ghost Gate that led to freedom. The Elder sighed: "These people have been trapped for too long, and each one has become a madman! Alas!"
"Has no one ever escaped from this God Prison!" Bai Qi looked at the boundless Netherworld Sea behind him, a hint of sharp glint flashing in his eyes! "Unless you are confident you can defeat Taishan Fujun, there is a possibility of overturning this God Prison!"
"Taishan Fujun!" Bai Qi muttered the name.
The Elder's expression suddenly became serious. He quickly reached out and calculated the time: "No, the Ghost Gate shouldn't appear at this time. Not good! Someone in the Mortal Realm is performing a ritual for Taishan Fujun, this is the Lord's departure! Quick, go!"
After reminding Bai Qi, the Elder's figure transformed into a streak of black energy and turned to plunge into the Netherworld Sea.
Before the black energy the Elder transformed into could disappear into the Netherworld Sea, the Netherworld Sea surged and rolled. Countless black lightning flashed across the Sea, slowly spreading outwards, extending who knows how far.
The boundless Netherworld Sea parted to both sides, revealing a golden path. At the end of the path, there was a golden portal. Threads of golden light sprayed out from the portal, and the portal slowly opened. A nine-dragon chariot pulled by nine ancient black dragons slowly emerged from the portal. The nine-dragon chariot rose into the sky and slowly flew towards the Direction of the Ghost Gate. That Ghost Gate also slowly opened at this moment.
"Opportunity!" An idea popped into Bai Qi's mind. He was about to take this opportunity to fly out of the Ghost Gate, but when he saw the nearly hundred figures transform into black energy and rush out first, he paused alertly.
Under Bai Qi's gaze, as the streaks of black energy formed by the dead souls of Gods were about to rush out of the Ghost Gate, nine dragon shadows suddenly rose from the nine-dragon chariot. As the nine dragon shadows leaped, their heads suddenly elongated, blocking the entrance before the black energy could dart out of the Ghost Gate. These dragon shadows opened their large mouths and, with a single devour, like a giant whale in the Sea devouring small fish, directly swallowed these black energy into their bellies. After finishing, the nine black dragons pulling the chariot lazily let out a satisfied burp and pulled the chariot out of the opened Ghost Gate! This scene made Bai Qi's scalp tingle. Looking at the opened Ghost Gate, he momentarily couldn't even muster the thought of escaping, and watched helplessly as the Ghost Gate slowly closed!
"Now you know why no one has been able to escape from this God Prison for so many years. No matter what your identity was in your previous life, even if you were some Ancient Great God, once only your soul remains, only a fraction of your magic power is left. Trying to escape from this God Prison is simply a pipe dream!"
A wisp of black energy landed beside Bai Qi. It was the Elder who had just fled.
Bai Qi glanced at him: "Since you know you can't escape, why did you come here when the Ghost Gate appeared?"
The Elder's words, however, left Bai Qi stunned: "Of course, to watch the fun, to watch these poor wretches fight for hope that doesn't exist, to watch them become the meal of those nine long worms—"
The Elder seemed completely unaware that he was also one of the poor wretches. The madness subtly revealed in his words made Bai Qi move slightly away from him. Indeed, there were no Normal People in this Hell.
Bai Qi's gaze fell on the closed Ghost Gate, his eyes flashing. It seemed impossible to leave when Taishan Fujun was traveling, but he would eventually return. He wondered if there would be an opportunity to escape then!
Above the Magic City, a vortex appeared out of thin air. From the vortex, a black cloud drifted out, dyeing the entire horizon bluish-black. Within the black mist, a pair of majestic eyes looked down, landing on Acha. In the black cloud, on the nine-dragon chariot pulled by nine ancient black dragons, Taishan Fujun had arrived to collect his sacrificial offering.
Acha raised her head, looking at the majestic figure in the chariot within the black mist.
"Lord! These are my sacrificial offerings. According to the Rules of the Lord's Sacrifice, I offer two souls. My request is that you return half of my brother's soul, and also, take his soul away!"
Acha held the souls of Constantine and Harley Quinn in her hand, while pointing her finger in the Direction of Tang Song, "Chi You's soul is very valuable. Even if it's only half, it's not something that can be exchanged for ordinary souls!"
In the black mist, Taishan Fujun, wearing a black emperor's crown and a flat-topped crown, with an extremely majestic appearance, looked at the two souls in Acha's hand. His previously calm expression showed a slight fluctuation.
"Two foreign souls! That's enough!"
After Taishan Fujun finished speaking, he looked in the Direction Acha was pointing. At first glance, he saw the mostly pulled-out golden thread in Tang Song's hand.
