Gu Qing Shan held the Devil King Warden Rod in her hand and told everyone: "I'm going to welcome the newcomer, I'll be right back"
Saying so, he activated the scepter's Secret Art: [Dead Essence]
[Dead Essence: The Devil King can freely travel through the layers of hell, communicating with all dead beings from afar, as well as instantly awakening any slumbering dead]
In a split second, Gu Qing Shan disappeared.
Everyone was shocked.
"Gu Qing Shan clearly isn't an expert in spatial magic, but he was able to disappear right in front of me, how interesting — — - isn't that the scepter's power?" Meow was intrigued.
Ye Fei Li replied: "He's the Devil King of the Huang Quan realm"
Jang Young-ho added: "Hell is his home, he can go there whenever he wants"
Both of them were talking, even Bali was curious.
Bali couldn't help but ask: "Within the Samsara, isn't Huang Quan a place for the dead? Why is Gu Qing Shan the Devil King of that place? "
Jang Young-ho replied: "That's a long story"
"Since we don't have anything else to do right now, just tell me" Meow said.
"Alright, it's like this …" Jang Young-ho said.
He started from the beginning of the Frost Calamity and told the whole story.
Bali smiled: "What a unique way to save the world, as expected of a member of our Club"
Meow pondered: "Bro, have you ever heard of any magic that can allow someone to directly enter the world of the dead?"
Bali replied: "Other than the Death God's follower, I can't think of any other"
"That's right, the Samsara world is truly a wondrous place, it's a self-contained cycle that even the Eternal Death God wouldn't be able to interfere with" Meow said.
Bali then mentioned something else: "I saw it very clearly, Gu Qing Shan's sword wasn't a Forbidden Spell, but a Spell Breaker — — - it directly broke through soul-type spells. Furthermore, that long hook was able to capture souls, while Gu Qing Shan's scepter was able to command hell, these aren't powers that a normal Divine Armament could achieve"
Meow nodded: "Hm, after what just happened, I can't help but feel that the Samsara's Law of Origin is a bit too powerful — — - regardless of which world it is compared to"
"Yeah, I really don't know how the Gods could create such a world and such a weapon when they created the world." Bali sighed.
…
The other side.
Yellow Springs Realm.
Hell.
Holding the Devil King Warden Rod in her hand, Gu Qing Shan's mind moved to sense every movement within the 18 layers of hell.
The billions of living beings that were suffering in hell were all within his grasp.
Gu Qing Shan quickly found the people from God Institute.
There were a total of 5 of them, but none of them managed to escape and were all trapped in hell.
It was now that Gu Qing Shan felt reassured.
The Divine Mountain [Law Breaker], the Forgetting River [Soul Reaper], and the Devil King Warden Rod, all three Divine Armaments were used at the same time to capture all of these eerie fellows.
— — -in truth, Gu Qing Shan could've tried not to use the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook to see if the souls of those who died in the Samsara world returned to the Samsara, or where they came from.
But these people's origins were too eerie and dangerous, so Gu Qing Shan wasn't willing to gamble, nor did she want to let them go back to report, so she directly used the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook to take their souls away.
"… The Frozen Hell, huh?"
Gu Qing Shan's figure moved and began to travel between the layers of hell.
In his vision, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
[You've killed five enemies]
[You've defeated the stronger five times as the weaker]
[Soul Points increased: 18000]
[Soul Points increased: 17000]
[Soul Points increased: 14000]
[Soul Points increased: 20000]
[Soul Points increased: 27000]
[Through calculations, your remaining Soul Points is Soul Points, also known as Divine power, which can play a crucial role in crucial moments.
Looking at his Soul Points, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit more assured.
— — -but these people seem to be a lot weaker than the Purgatory Fiends from before.
Once I return to the Super Dimensional world, should I have Bali and Meow catch another Purgatory Boar so I can get more Soul Points?
While thinking that, he continued to travel and quickly arrived at the Frozen Hell.
The Frozen Hell was still as cold as ever, covered in snow and ice.
Following the Devil King Warden Rod's signal, Gu Qing Shan silently moved forward towards an ice pit where the dead were buried.
After flying for a while, Gu Qing Shan stopped in the middle of the icy fog and looked down.
Only to see a few newly dead people lying silently at the bottom of the ice pit with their eyes closed.
From their appearances, they were the people from God Institute.
Their souls had obtained the bodies of the dead.
— — -to make it easier for sinners to suffer, Hell will grant the souls that come here the bodies of the dead.
This body is exactly the same as their bodies when they were alive, allowing them to feel the pain and suffering of various punishments.
And now, the next step can be taken.
Gu Qing Shan held the Devil King Warden Rod in her hand and activated the power of [Dead Essence].
Inside the ice, the people from God Institute abruptly woke up.
They opened their eyes wide, panicking as they looked around.
It was clear that they were shocked by the environment they were in.
Very quickly, they began to struggle intensely.
The ice broke apart.
They all jumped out.
"Boss, where are we?" one of them asked.
"I'm not sure, but it seems like we haven't returned to God Institute yet" the leader answered in a low voice.
Everyone looked around, only to find that the ice and snow around them stretched as far as their eyes could see, other than that, they couldn't see anything else.
One of them spoke: "I remember that familiar feeling of teleportation didn't change after we died, so why did we end up here?"
Another person replied: "It was indeed teleportation at the beginning, but you might have lost your senses too early. At the very last moment, I felt an unparalleled pulling force"
Another person agreed: "I also felt it, it was an irresistible force, as if it was that force that brought us to this place"
Everyone went silent and began to think about the meaning of this.
As Gu Qing Shan was about to fly down, hearing their discussion, he suddenly stopped.
After a bit of thought, he silently flew back to the top of the Frozen Hell and hid inside the icy fog.
It seems that at the moment of their death, due to the effects of the soul technique, their consciousness wasn't completely clear.
— — -then let's observe their reactions, perhaps there'll be some unexpected gains.
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan hid himself and stopped moving.
A few moments later.
Sure enough, the people of God Institute observed their surroundings again and began to discuss.
Someone said whimsically, "Could it be because we failed our mission, so God is very dissatisfied with us and directly sent us to this place?"
Unexpectedly, his words received everyone's approval.
The leader nodded: "Look, there are many souls frozen on the ground around here, all of them look like they're in pain — — I'm guessing that this is a place for people to suffer and reflect on themselves"
"Then there's no mistaking it, God most likely wants to punish us"
"Indeed"
"I also think that's the case"
"Then what do we do now?"
"Hah, the mission failed, let's just accept our punishment"
"We can only pray that God will forgive us soon and give us a new mission so that we can atone for our sins"
The leader spoke in a low voice: "There's no need to say anything else. If God was able to send us here, he must know of our current reactions, so let's just accept our Divine Punishment"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Following the example of the dead, they once again buried themselves in the ice.
Inside the crater of ice, everyone was quickly shivering from the cold.
— — -although the Frozen Hell doesn't have any physical torture, the cold of this hell directly affects the essence of the soul, so the pain that the dead have to endure isn't any less than other hells.
In just a few moments, someone couldn't take it anymore.
"Boss, this is too cold, why would God — — -" he called out.
The leader shouted: "Shut up! God is watching us, do you want God to bestow a harsher punishment on us? "
That person didn't say anything else.
Everyone silently endured the pain of the Frozen Hell.
Gu Qing Shan: "…"
Although these people were a bit stupid, the main reason was that they've never seen the hells of Huang Quan before.
To be able to move a dead soul as they pleased after death, this kind of great power was truly rare.
It could be said that other than their God, they've never seen any other entity with such power.
Not even Lord-class Combatants like Bali and Meow.
So it was understandable that these people's thoughts and judgment were the same.
But their conversation caused Gu Qing Shan to frown.
— — didn't their God only live for a split second?
Could this be a lie?
If their God purposefully chose to fake his death and stay hidden, that would be very interesting.
What is he planning?
Gu Qing Shan continued to think.
These people seemed to have come to the Scattered worlds in search of a world tomb.
But a world tomb is a place where the Old Gods hide their belongings, so there's no way to confirm what's inside. No one knows for sure what would appear once a world tomb is opened.
Not to mention, there are so many world tombs in the 900 million World Layers, why did they choose a Scattered world?
How and how did they find it?
… no, I have to get to the bottom of this.
Gu Qing Shan held the Devil King Warden Rod and pointed it at the guy who complained that hell was too cold.
He activated [Soul Dispersion].
[Soul Dispersion: The Devil King can use the power of the scepter to permanently eliminate any disobedient dead. The souls of those killed will disperse and turn into the scepter's power]
A few moments later — —
The dead man in the crater suddenly felt a sense of fear.
He sensed the power of a fundamental Law within his soul.
This was a destructive power that could completely destroy him!
He panicked and instinctively screamed: "Ah, ah, don't, I've always faithfully collected souls for you, there's a soul storage device in my personal prayer room that contains over 90,000 souls to offer to you, great God, I beg you, great God — — -"
Following that, he uttered a scream of agony that grew louder and louder.
The great power that destroyed souls was acting on his body, causing him to experience a punishment worse than hell.
This was the Huang Quan Devil King's ultimate punishment — — - the 18 layers of hell. The life and death of all dead people were at the mercy of the Devil King's will.
Very quickly, this dead man's body and soul completely disappeared from the crater.
He had completely dissipated and perished, never to be seen again.
The others were terrified by the sight.
The leader loudly shouted: "Did you see that, he dared to hide over 90,000 souls behind God's back, no wonder God wants to kill him!"
"Yes, he deserves to die!"
"He's an unbeliever!"
"All souls belong to God, he dared to keep them for himself, serves him right!"
The few of them hurriedly responded loudly.
At this point, a resounding voice resounded from far above.
「 By God's order, I have come to interrogate you 」
「 You may speak now! 」
This dignified voice only stated the reason for its arrival, but it carried a sense of extreme sternness and interrogation.
Everyone looked up at the sky.
A frigid fog covered the sky, obscuring everything.
But the dead could sense the power that forced them to submit — — - the power that ruled over this world!
Without the blessings of God, who could obtain such great power?
