What was behind the gate?
Mecantron, the Angel King standing on the other end of the Pathway of Immortality, was also asking himself the same question. What was the mysteries of immortality that countless experts had tried to touch?
Rudolf II, who was already Mecantron, did not care about his current form. Narrowing his eyes habitually, he said to himself, "After I learn the mysteries of immortality, I'll find an opportunity to kill Lucien Evans and Rhein Carendia together. The Silver Moon should not be able to arrive in this place."
Obviously, only one person could have the mysteries of immortality!
As for why he did not attack the two of them right now, Rudolf II was not an idiot. He was more than happy to have someone to eliminate the danger for him. Who knew what was behind the Gate of Immortality?
What was behind the gate?
The Lord of Hell, who was hiding inside the Pathway of Immortality in a weird form, looked at Lucien and Rhein before him and the Angel King nearby and asked himself in a low voice.
The World of Souls had always been a secret. Even in the age of myths, he had only sensed the existence of such a secret world but never found the entrance. It was not until Tiphotidis, the Master of Argent, discovered the place by accident because of their similar attributes, only to be sealed by the legendary sorcerers such as Maskelyne that he really got in touch with the World of Souls. At that time, the mysterious existence of the World of Souls was almost revived and revealed the traces of immortality to his subordinates such as the Lich King.
Therefore, he learned about the Chamber of Immortality and part of the secrets of the Saint Truth. After a thousand years of planning and repeated failures, he had been waiting for this moment!
As long as the gate was opened, the mysteries of immortality would be revealed to him!
Although he was born as a demigod, the Lord of Hell believed that he, the Silver Moon, and the abyss did not gain self-awareness until the age of myths and did not experience the birth of a world or the birth of a life. Therefore, he did not know much about the mysteries of creation.
Also, his intuition as a demigod told him that even if hell did not perish and he did not perish, hell would decay one day and be destroyed along with the whole world. Nothing was truly eternal. That was why he was so passionate after learning the secrets of immortality.
As for the mysterious existence in the World of Souls, the Lord of Hell believed that it should have had its own consciousness in the same period of time. However, after creating many undead creatures, before it had the time to invade the main material world and enjoy the glory of the Mythological Era, it had found the Pathway of Immortality in its "home" and died there. It had only returned after a long time. Unfortunately, it was tricked by Lucien and the Silver Moon and fell into a deep sleep again.
"Only I, Maltimus, the Lord of Hell, can master the secrets of immortality! I have basically understood the mysteries of transformation now. I will arrive in person in a moment and erase Rhein Carendia, Lucien Evans, and Mecantron before the Silver Moon realizes what is going on! "
By sacrificing Geno's body, the Lord of Hell was confident that he would be able to descend upon a non-prime material world with his true body!
What was behind the door exactly?
Lucien and Rhein had the same question in their hearts. They felt that their souls were almost suffocating. Why were Thanos, Viken, and the monster so disappointed? Would what they saw be different?
Exerting his strength with his right hand, the gray stone door seemed to carry the weight of the entire palace. It took Lucien quite a lot of effort before he finally opened a gap.
After the gap appeared, the stone door suddenly lost its weight and was opened backward abruptly. The view inside the Chamber of Immortality was displayed before the eyes of Lucien and the rest of them!
There were no walls, no tiles, or any materials inside the Chamber of Immortality. Behind the stone door was the most boundless cosmos, emitting the vibe of condescension and transcendence.
The starry sky was filled with a deep black. Numerous stars were shining brightly, forming numerous galaxies. They were bright and cold, wide and deep, and boundless.
Lucien was stunned at first. He extended his right hand subconsciously and passed through the image of the cosmos without any hindrance. It seemed to be here, but it was not. It could not be touched or approached, just like the Furnace of Souls and the demigods.
However, it seemed to have an uncanny sense of harmony with this world.
The galaxies in the cosmos were changing like a movie, from far to near and zoomed in until a familiar star appeared in front of Lucien's eyes. What was even more familiar than that was the blue planet!
"This is …" Lucien's pupils constricted violently. The weird sense of familiarity was surging crazily.
This is Earth?
This is Earth!
This is the universe before my transmigration!
"This is the mysteries of immortality?" Lucien blurted out with intense shock and confusion.
"This is the mysteries of immortality?" Rhein's tone was obviously surprised, disappointed, and confused. A Silver Moon suddenly rose behind him, and the air of the Silver Moon in Lucien's left hand jumped out and accepted the illumination of the Silver Moon.
Because Lucien's body and air had turned into the weird ghost state, the two air masses were no exception. Under the illumination of the moonlight, they quickly grew into the blonde, red-eyed Alterna.
"Her projection has indeed arrived …" When they met the monster, Lucien speculated that Alterna might help him deal with the monster with the power of Rhein's body, but she never did that. As it turned out, she had arrived with the power of Rhein's summoning and the air of his left hand, not through the regular summoning power.
So, he left the air on his left hand for later use. How could she be so "cunning"?
Looking at the cosmos in the Chamber of Immortality, Alterna was still innocent. Frowning, she said in a daze, "Where's the feast … Is this the mysteries of immortality?"
"Is this the mysteries of immortality?" In surprise and disappointment, the Angel King inside the Pathway of Immortality couldn't help but ask aloud. His voice echoed in the ears of Lucien and the rest of them.
"Is this the mysteries of immortality?" The eternal mocking smile of the Lord of Hell seemed to be frozen on his face.
If he wanted to see the cosmos, he could've done a space jump! What kind of mysteries of immortality was that?
The Lord of Hell did not try to control him. Such mysteries of immortality couldn't even make him sacrifice Geno's clone!
As the Lord of Hell, he had always been a standard businessman who valued interests above all. He would never make a losing deal.
It was not until he spoke that Lucien realized that there were a lot of enemies behind him. However, with the Silver Moon here, he didn't need to worry about his life.
Turning around and looking at the cosmos and the blue planet that he was so familiar with, Lucien frowned and thought for a moment. His face gradually relaxed. "Is this the mysteries of immortality?"
"What do you see?" asked Rhein.
Did he really have to become a true god to see the mysteries of immortality like Thanos said?
Lucien described truthfully, "A vast cosmos, countless planets that look like suns, and planets that don't shine."
"We are the same. Is this the mysteries of immortality?" Rhein smiled in self-mockery.
The Silver Moon Alterna moved her eyes back and looked at Lucien with her crimson eyes. She said as if nothing had happened, "Thank you for your trouble."
Seeing such mysteries of immortality, and the projections of the Silver Moon and the Lord of Hell were both on the spot, Rudolf II had long given up the idea of killing him. He sniffed, "The mysteries of immortality are just a scam!"
While talking, he retreated to the Realm of Gates quickly.
Naturally, the Lord of Hell no longer had any intention of fighting. Even if he had to use the Secrets of Immortality just once, he would feel that it was too cheap. Although controlling the "Angel King" was a good business, with Silver Moon watching from the side, he was also on guard. If he used God's Protection, there was a great chance that he would be able to escape.
As for killing Lucien for 'revenge', the Lord of Hell had the idea before, but he was disrupted by the arrival of the Silver Moon Alterna. He could only drop the idea for now. He mocked, "Is this the mysteries of immortality? What an idiot! What an idiot, Thanos! How much longer do you want to watch? Do you think you can see through it? "
Until they saw the truth, every being would think that they were the most special one.
In mockery, the Lord of Hell left the Pathway of Immortality.
After the Lord of Hell left, Rhein calculated the time and said, "Let's get out of here too. If we revert to our original appearance, we will be killed here."
Lucien moved his eyes back from the cosmos and closed his eyes. "Alright."
Alterna led Lucien and Rhein out of the Pathway of Immortality. After confirming that the Lord of Hell had left, she nodded at Lucien again to express her 'gratitude'. Then, she dispersed and withdrew the power of projection.
At this moment, Fernando and Douglas walked out of the entrance of the Realm of Gates and saw Lucien and Rhein.
Fernando was secretly relieved. Then, he roared, "Why did you crawl out of that place?"
In the familiar intimacy, Lucien suddenly had uncanny feelings. Had the adventure ended in such a way?
Looking at the Furnace of Souls and the secret chamber at the bottom of the Pathway of Immortality, Lucien said to himself, "The mysteries of immortality …"
… …
On their way to the forward base, Lucien basically told Douglas and Fernando what happened to him.
Thinking about Viken solemnly, Fernando cursed Lucien, "You didn't know that the Lord of Hell was behind you? If the Silver Moon hadn't arrived, you would've been in great trouble! "
"If the Silver Moon hadn't arrived and we had attacked in that place …" Lucien mumbled.
"What?" Fernando did not quite understand what he meant.
Lucien shook his head, hinting that he did not mean anything else. But he thought to himself, … I might not be the one in trouble.
"In the vast cosmos, other than stars and planets, there are also black holes …"
In his cognitive world, black holes and enormous stars were changing their positions nonstop.
… …
Inside the Chamber of Immortality, the view in the vast cosmos was changing nonstop. Suddenly, a cluster of darkness that did not emit any light appeared before him. An unimaginably terrifying attraction force spread out, and the Gate of Immortality was closed.
The Pathway of Immortality regained its eternal silence again.
