After everyone disembarked from the ship, they began to observe the environment. Everything here was pitch black. The ground, the rocks, and even the sky. For some reason, the first feeling they got from this place was a deathly stillness, a true deathly stillness. There was no life, silence, and desolation. It gave people a feeling of despair.
When everyone saw this scene, their moods were more or less affected. The atmosphere gradually became gloomy. They just silently walked forward.
At this moment, Ai Ou was talking to everyone. "Hell isn't that easy to enter because this is the domain of Hades. It's the boundary between life and death. Only the dead, Gods, or people with God's bloodline can enter. For example, Perseus and I can. This is the rule set by the Gods when they created Hell."
A soldier in the group suddenly asked, "Then why are we here alive? Isn't this strange? We are all living humans and mortals. "
This time, before Ai Ou could speak, Perseus spoke first. "It's probably because of that gold coin, right?" Ai Ou nodded.
"Indeed, because the establishment of the Underworld was set by the Gods. It's not wrong to treat this place as some kind of God's domain of death. However, this is a hidden God's domain from the real world. It's not something that can be completely controlled by one or two Gods. It's a rule set by the Gods. Even so, no God can truly control everything in the Underworld, including Hades. However, this is the rule set by the Gods, so mortals can't resist. Only with the Gods' permission can mortals enter this place as living humans. Of course, there are a few exceptions …"
"Other than the Demigods born from the Gods and mortals, it's said that there are extremely powerful creatures that can ignore this rule and enter Hell as living beings. However, these are extremely rare. It's said that hydras with more than eight heads can do it. It's said that Sirens can do it too. It's said that the most powerful Sages can do it too. It's said that the strongest Kings can do it too. It's said that heroes who transcend the mortal world can do it too. However, there are too few of them." Ai Ou glanced at Chu Hao.
In fact, Ai Ao was not the only one who looked at Chu Hao. The others, including Zhang Heng and several members of the Samsara Army, also looked at Chu Hao.
Chu Hao smiled bitterly in his heart. Not to mention his strength, just the divinity and divinity in his body allowed him to completely not worry about these so-called gods' rules. Unless he had reached the level of gods above gods, and had already broken away from faith and the plane, otherwise, to a certain extent, there was no essential difference between him and Zeus at all. At most, there was only a difference in strength, just like the difference between an infant and an adult, but they were still humans.
However, he naturally couldn't say that at this moment. He could only say, "I can come to hell alive." It was just this sentence, but it was not considered a lie. It was just a change in the actual situation.
However, these words still excited everyone in the team because everyone knew clearly that the gold coin with Perseus was the one given by Zeus. There was only one gold coin, and it was very likely that they would not be able to return to the world of the living from the underworld. Everyone's only hope here was Chu Hao. A sage, the only legendary sage who could create legends and reverse any predicament. If there was anyone present who could lead them out of the underworld, it could only be Chu Hao.
And Chu Hao did not disappoint them. He gave a definite and clear answer, which let everyone put down their last worries. Sure enough, as a sage, and an extremely powerful one who had not appeared for a long time, Chu Hao was indeed very powerful. He could actually enter and leave the world of the dead alive. This was their way out and also their hope.
Of course, just having a way out and hope was not enough. The more important thing was power. For example, the most important thing right now was … Medusa!
"… She went to Athena's palace and asked for protection, but Athena ignored her request and even thought that she was a slut who seduced the gods. She was violated in Athena's palace. Hehe, this is the so-called guardian of virgins. You should know that Medusa was a virgin at that time."
"After that, Athena placed a divine curse on her, cursing her to become a monster with a human head and a snake's body. She was then exiled to a certain building in Hell, where Medusa was unable to leave. Of course, as God's final benevolence, Athena specially allowed Medusa to not kill women. Or rather, women were unable to enter the place where Medusa was. This was a hypocritical God, and Medusa, who had become a monster, was actually the most pitiful."
Under Ai Ao's lead, the group soon arrived at the periphery of a huge building complex. This was an extremely large area of ruins, about the size of an abandoned city. Ai Ao led them to the entrance of a large temple.
"Legend has it that after the gods created this world, they worked together to create the Underworld so that the living beings would have a place to return to after they died instead of having their souls scattered …" Ai Ou was still introducing the Underworld when Chu Hao suddenly interrupted at this moment.
"They turned a part of the real world into the underworld, right?"
Chu Hao muttered as he looked at the ruins in front of him. No matter how he looked at the ruins, he could only admit that this was once the ruins of a city. Moreover, it was the kind of city ruins that had a very high level of civilization. In addition to occupying a large area, there were many buildings with a reasonable layout. Many large buildings were left with broken walls, collapsed statues, granite pillars … All of these showed the glory of this city in the past.
If what Ai Ao said was true, the underworld of this world was created by the gods. However, the problem was, what was up with these buildings? The underworld was a world with a very harsh environment. Although it was not filled with poisonous gas, monsters, or living beings, there were almost no signs of life here. The land was barren, and there was no water source. This made this place a dead land for civilization. Even if there were a few survivors, they would never be able to form such a glorious civilization and build such a magnificent city. Hundreds of thousands of people had to live here, and the various resources and water sources required were not something such a barren land could afford. In other words … the land here might have been rich in water and grass in the past, and it was not the underworld!
In fact, it could also be seen from Greek mythology that there were several divine systems before Zeus became the king of gods, such as the Titan Divine System. If the world was really created by Zeus, then where was the Titan Divine System that was sealed by Zeus and the other gods before that? The so-called creation of the world and the so-called creation of humans by Zeus were probably just the gods of this plane trying to make themselves look good. From this, it could be inferred that the so-called Underworld, which was created by the gods, was probably not created by them.
"… The collapse of the world, and the memes?"
If the mysterious veil of the so-called underworld was removed, Chu Hao had a sense of déjà vu. He had seen this scene when he obtained the memories of the Divinity. In his real world, he had also seen the most serious meme invasion on the land. It was a scene more terrifying than the destruction of nuclear weapons. It was similar to the dead silence in front of him. There was no radiation, no virus, no force field, or anything else that was harmful to the survival of life. However, this land would continue to be barren and slowly turn into a dead land.
(So that's how it is. So that's how it is …)
Since Chu Hao came to this world, he had been very curious. This world had indeed begun to decay. Various situations had already proved this point. He had also felt the breath of decay, but it had been so many days since he came to this world, and he had not encountered a single meme. This was very suspicious. It should be known that the doomsday scene he saw in the Divinity was really a scene of memes running amok. And this world was also on the verge of doomsday, but it was so peaceful. It was unbelievable! Even the real world would not be so peaceful after a meme incident, let alone this world that was on the verge of doomsday.
Now, everything was clear. In order to delay the doomsday, the gods of this world had begun to sacrifice the essence of this realm!
When a realm gradually died and began to decay, it was not irreversible. When Chu Hao obtained the Divinity, he had already seen it. In the world where the Divinity was located, humans usually provided for the gods. However, when the world was about to end and the realm was about to perish, the gods of the realm would directly fall and use the gods as nutrients and antidotes to alleviate the fall of the realm. In other words, the gods would provide for the humans.
In this Realm of Gods, almost all the gods had fallen in the second part of the war of the gods. When Chu Hao first arrived in this realm, he thought that the same thing had happened in this realm. However, if that was the case, before the gods fell, this world should have been run amok with memes. The truth was not so. It was not until he came to hell that he saw the truth clearly …
In order to escape the fate of being sacrificed by the world, the Gods of this world sacrificed the world before the world sacrificed them. As a result, the world would become smaller and smaller, and there would be flaws in the nature of the world. In the end, this plane would not even be able to become a land of death. The entire plane would probably perish. So it was no wonder that the sealed Titan Ancestor was able to awaken and revive. The Gods of this world … had become pests!
Just as Chu Hao was lost in thought as he looked at the ruins in front of him, his vision gradually darkened. He subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky and saw a circle of black shadow at the edge of the sun. Yes …
A solar eclipse! It had begun!
