Stepping into the Eternal Soul Palace, Lu Chen heard the cries of countless ghosts.
This place did not seem like a palace, but more like hell!
The palace was larger than Lu Chen had imagined. There was no floor inside, only a corridor against the wall. In the middle was a pitch-black abyss.
The abyss was somewhat illusory, as if it was not truly deep underground, but the entrance to a black hole in another region...
In the abyss, one could see countless departed souls. Their bodies were only pitch-black silhouettes that were very blurry. They hugged their heads and let out mournful wails.
In the middle of the abyss, there was a dark purple bead that was currently dim.
They were probably shocked by this scene.
Their pain might have been caused by Lu Chen killing the King Of Hell right after being controlled, causing them to suddenly lose control, causing their minds to go haywire.
Suddenly, someone in the abyss went crazy and tore at the surrounding departed souls.
Walking up the Eternal Soul Palace floor by floor, Lu Chen saw even more abyss. This also indicated that these abyss were not true "abysses". More accurately, they were open entrances to black holes.
"I knew it. Otherwise, how could such a small Soul Palace contain billions of departed souls..." Lu Chen said.
At the top of each abyss, there was a dim bead. However, no departed soul paid attention to this bead. They began to go crazy...
Lu Chen frowned.
He deduced that the King Of Hell was using this bead to brainwash the departed souls. However, the bead had no effect and the departed souls were becoming more and more restless.
Finally, he arrived at the seventh floor.
On this floor, he saw three corpses lying in the corridor.
Their deaths were very similar. There were no obvious wounds on their bodies. Their eyes were white and they were foaming at the mouth. The badge on their chests clearly wrote "Nine Star Ghost King Realm"!
"Could it be the other three Ghost Kings?" Lu Chen frowned slightly.
The three corpses were facing the bead at the top.
There were no other intruders here. Although the three Ghost Kings were not as strong as the King Of Hell, they were definitely not weak. Yet, they had all died here.
"It doesn't look like he was killed in battle. He might have been devoured by the bead …"
With so many dead souls and so many experts among them, it was not easy to control their minds. Because of this, even if Lu Chen killed his way to Myriad Soul Palace, these people could not leave their posts.
Now that Lu Chen had killed the King Of Hell, these dead souls had gone out of control. No matter how strong the three Ghost Kings were, they couldn't resist the backlash of so many dead souls. In the end, they died.
"It looks like the soul is about to go out of control …" Lu Chen frowned. He only knew that he had to kill the King Of Hell, but who would have thought that the three Ghost Kings had already taken control of the soul while they were fighting to the death? Now that it suddenly went out of control, Lu Chen was caught off guard.
Lu Chen checked the Devil's Horn. "Is this thing still useful …"
At this moment, the two Fiend Horns emitted a faint black fog, and the fog slowly flew towards the northern wall.
"Hm?" Lu Chen followed the fog and arrived in front of the wall.
There were two circular holes in the wall, and the size was just right for the Devil's Horn … Lu Chen thought for a moment, and tried to fit the two Devil's Horns in.
Once the Devil's Horns were fitted, they immediately transformed into a huge illusion. The tip of the illusion's Devil's Horns pointed at the bead.
The originally dim bead gradually reacted, and slowly began to rotate. The dead souls in the abyss saw the bead rotate, and all raised their heads to look at the bead …
It was the same on every level.
The agitation of the dead souls was finally alleviated, but Lu Chen did not know how to completely restore the Underworld to its original state.
At this moment, the wall in front of Lu Chen emitted a dull sound, and then the wall slowly opened.
There was actually another room behind the wall.
Lu Chen frowned. Perhaps the key to solving this problem was in this room.
The room seemed to have been meticulously arranged. It looked like a bedroom, and there was a large bed that was three to four meters long and two to three meters wide.
"The King Of Hell's bedroom?" Lu Chen said in astonishment.
There were some documents and accounts beside the bed, and they were all information about the four main cities.
There was also a book about the Myriad Ancient Soul Palace.
Lu Chen looked through it, and found a lot of useful information.
Lu Chen hurriedly began to look for clues, but he inadvertently saw a small image stone on the desk, and it looked very old.
After Lu Chen injected spirit energy, the image stone projected an image.
In the image, a small boy with a small horn on his head was following a tall and sturdy man, and they were cultivating in the courtyard. A beautiful woman smiled as she walked out of the room with fruits.
The beautiful woman saw that the two were still cultivating, and said with a smile, "Cultivate later, eat some fruits first."
The man smiled, and pulled the little boy to the table. He pushed aside some unknown fruits for him, "You must be thirsty, eat more."
Seeing the boy eat the fruits, the husband and wife looked at each other and smiled. The man rubbed the boy's head, "Little Ming, don't worry about what others say! It doesn't matter if our stats are lower than others, as long as we work harder than others, we might not be worse than them in the future! "
The boy nodded heavily.
"I used the image stone to record the cultivation situation just now. You have to see what you did wrong."
"Dad, I know! I will definitely work hard! "The boy said firmly.
…
The image was very short, only a few minutes long, and it recorded the most ordinary daily life. However, after Lu Chen saw it, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
That boy should be the King Of Hell when he was young, and he once had a happy family.
However, Lu Chen already knew what happened later. His mother was burned to death by her clansmen, and his father was heavily injured.
Then, he killed his own father with his own hands.
Such a cold-blooded person actually kept this image stone … perhaps, in the endless years, he became the strongest person, but also the one who suffered the most …
Taking a deep breath, Lu Chen let out a long sigh.
Then, Lu Chen smashed the image stone with his palm.
But, the image stone didn't completely shatter. In the middle of the image stone, there was a slip of paper!
Lu Chen picked up the small wooden tablet in surprise. There were several words written on it.
【If someone can obtain this slip of paper, it means that I am already dead. Then, I should thank you.】
【Because to me, death is more like a form of release.】
【If you want to restore the Underworld to its original state, you must first comprehend the Concept of Stardust and break down the seven layers of floating pearls.】
【The Concept of Stardust originates from the Myriad Soul Temple. Go deep into the Land of Departed Souls and comprehend it yourself …】
Lu Chen frowned, "This King Of Hell is probably more conflicted than anyone else!"
Lu Chen looked at the Myriad Soul Temple's information. Although it recorded the number of departed souls, the time, the formation, and where they went, it didn't mention how to restore the Underworld to its original state.
It seemed like he could only take a risk.
Lu Chen walked out of the room and directly entered the Land of Departed Souls on the top floor!
