Leng Yueyan looked at Long Chen and shook her head, saying, "That's impossible." Long
Chen was instantly struck as if struck by lightning and cried out, "Why? Aren't you the gods of the Underworld?" He governs the cycle of life and death... "
Long Chen,"
Leng Yueyan placed her jade hand on Long Chen's shoulder and sighed, "You're oversimplifying. The Underworld is not the Underworld from the myths of your Tianwu Continent."
The underworld we govern is just a small region in the Ten Directions World, less than one millionth of the entire Netherworld.
The Underworld is merely one of the ten worlds, and its operating laws are connected to the other nine worlds.
The path of life and death reincarnation runs through the ten directions of the world. If you want to reverse the heavens and earth, unless one day you can rule the worlds in all directions. "
Leng Yueyan looked at Long Chen, a trace of helplessness deep in her eyes. The Ten Directions World? It's already incomplete. Even if you become the ruler of the Ten Directions World, I'm afraid you won't be able to achieve your wish.
But Leng Yueyan looked at Long Chen and couldn't bear to hurt him, so she gave him a goal so distant it couldn't be more distant.
Long Chen looked at Leng Yueyan and couldn't help but take a deep breath. Leng Yueyan would never lie to him. It seemed that myth is just a myth, far removed from reality.
Long Chen smiled bitterly, "So even the power of gods is limited; they can't do whatever they want." "
As you said, humans and gods are no different. If you force them apart, it's just a difference in strength."
Just like you said, born in the sea of suffering, all struggled to cross, only the sea of suffering grows bigger and more perilous. "Leng Yueyan sighed.
"What's wrong?" You and Cang Yue are in crisis too? Long Chen caught the implication in her words, and Leng Yueyan's tone sounded a bit off.
"Since this is a crossing contest, if we haven't reached the other shore, how could there be no crisis? But asking so much is pointless.
Time was about right, and I originally wanted to take advantage of the little time to give you a chance to conquer me.
Unfortunately, it seems you no longer feel the mood. Go back and work your cultivation. As long as you reach that height, all problems can be solved. The key to solving all problems is—strength. "Leng Yueyan looked into Long Chen's eyes and spoke softly.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, the void rumbled. Long Chen felt the world begin to twist, suction forces trying to pull him out of this world.
Long Chen flicked his arms, repelling the force, and hugged Leng Yueyan tightly. A rare tenderness appeared on Leng Yueyan's pretty face. She kissed Long Chen lightly on the cheek and softly said, "
My man, you have to work harder. I look forward to you and me being apart again. When the time comes, you will conquer me."
"Rumble rumble... The
void roared and exploded. The powerful spatial force seemed to tear Long Chen apart. Long Chen felt the space shatter into countless fragments, and finally, everything before his eyes vanished.
Leng Yueyan was gone, and only then did Long Chen realize he was already outside a grand gate—one that was the very gate of hell that led straight into the clouds.
The Dragonblood warriors were already waiting outside the Gates of Hell. Seeing Long Chen finally come out, Guo Ran hurriedly asked, "
Boss, how is it?" Did you get anything good? Long
Chen immediately snapped, "Do you think your boss would be as shameless as you, rolling around on the ground and asking others for things?" "
As long as you get something good, rolling on the ground is nothing. Then crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang yourself—kneeling and kowtowing isn't a loss." Guo Ran said dismissively.
After everyone came out, Mengqi, Chu Yao, Tang Wan'er, and the others discussed the gifts in their hands, chattering nonstop excitedly. Even the usually aloof Ye Zhiqiu had eyes full of delight.
Guo Ran watched with envy, but unfortunately, he was not Long Chen's confidante. Without him, he pinned his hopes on Long Chen.
If Long Chen got something good, Guo Ran would definitely have to have a share. Long Chen had always taken good care of him, so now, learning that Long Chen had wasted so much time and gained nothing, he couldn't help but feel very regretful.
He complained that Long Chen was too concerned about saving face. If he were willing to bow his head, he would definitely get the treasure. Long Chen was so angry he wanted to slap him. This guy was truly shameless.
"Strange, why is the gate of hell so empty? Not a single person in the air? Only then did Long Chen notice that at the Gate of Hell, apart from the Dragon Blood Legion, he saw no other living beings.
"It's indeed strange. Besides, we've seen it too—there's no Jiuquan Waterfall here. There's a long bridge ahead, and at the end there's only a portal." Guyang said.
During the time they waited for Long Chen, they had already surveyed the terrain and found that this place was no longer the same as before.
Long Chen glanced at the mighty pass before him. The words "Gate of Ghosts" were certainly accurate. But as he carefully examined the gate, he suddenly exclaimed, "
This gate is not the one we entered."
Because Long Chen discovered that when he pulled out a nail that closed the gates of hell, when he came in, there was still one missing there, but now the nail was still missing from that place.
Long Chen immediately guessed that the Gate of Hell should have two entrances, one exit. Since Long Chen was at the exit, all the door studs were complete.
Long Chen looked at the intact door, his eyes shining. Dragon Bone Evil Moon transmitted his voice:
"Don't tell me you're planning to make another door nail?"
It knew Long Chen too well, especially his soul fluctuations, which couldn't be fooled. Clearly, Long Chen was playing tricks again.
"Are you kidding me?" Long Chen shook his head.
Long Chen said to everyone, "Let's go, everyone go back. We don't know how many days have passed on the Tianwu Continent, so hurry back and take a look." Everyone
arrived before the spatial gate. The Dragonblood warriors stepped through one by one, enveloping them with runes. Long Chen noticed that the moment they were enveloped by the runes, they immediately fell asleep, then as if in water, their bodies rapidly rising and disappearing into the endless darkness.
Everyone went inside, except Guo Ran, who was held back by Long Chen and wouldn't let him leave.
"Boss, what's wrong?" Guo Ran asked.
"This time, I didn't get any gifts and left empty-handed. Don't you think that's awkward?" Long Chen chuckled.
"Boss, do you mean ...?" Guo Ran was taken aback.
"As the saying goes, a thief doesn't leave empty-handed. No matter what, we have to bring something back. Come with me."
After Long Chen finished speaking, he took Guo Ran and returned to the Gate of Hell.
"Boss, you're not planning to tear down the main gate, are you?" Guo Ran stared at the main door, his face full of shock, because there was nothing else in front of him except the main gate.
But the gate was enormous—a single door nail stretched for hundreds of miles. One gate could almost cover half of the Tianwu Continent.
"You're overestimating your boss. I don't have the ability to tear down the main gate. Last time, I took down a single nail and it exhausted me half to death." Long Chen shook his head.
"Damn, so that nail was really pulled out by you, boss." Guo Ran's mouth hung wide open. They had joked before that no one but the boss had the courage to do so, but unexpectedly, it was true.
"Of course it was me. Otherwise, if I were chased by the Emperor Dragon clone that time, I would have died long ago.
Alright, enough talk. Let me tell you, this time, let's skip the nail. The runes on those nails will be greatly reduced after entering the Tianwu Continent, affected by the continent's laws.
And once it leaves the door, it's as if the tree has left the soil, showing signs of gradually withering. So, nails aren't much use to us anymore—we probably can't do anything to a fourth-step Tongming Realm expert. Long Chen whispered
, "Then what should we make?" Door bolt? Guo Ran looked at the main gate and said.
Because above the main gate, there were two square door bolts on each side. If you got one and threw it, you could smash a large number of them.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "That bolt is indeed a good thing, but we can't get it, because there are slots on both sides. We can only move it, but we can't take it out."
Additionally, the runes on this door bolt are connected to the main gate. Once separated from the gate, it also loses its power supply, causing it to weaken further. "
Then it's nothing special." Guo Ran said in confusion.
"Didn't you see the two door rings on the main gate?" On the door knocker were two faces of the Ghost-Faced Beast.
Both items were treasures, their runes forming a single unit. Once they left the gate and were brought back to the Tianwu Continent, their power would not diminish.
Let me tell you, this thing can be big or small—it can be used as a shield for defense, or even as a pot lid to throw people down. It's definitely a great thing.
There are two door rings. Once we get the treasure, how about two brothers add one to five, one each? Long Chen chuckled.
"But can we really take that thing?" I find it mysterious. Guo Ran said in disbelief.
"Don't worry, no problem. Each door knocker has four rivets to be pushed on.
The riveted runes aren't very powerful. I guess the gate was built just to scare people, not a security door, so removing it wouldn't be difficult. Long Chen said confidently.
"Boss, tell me, how do you need me to cooperate?" Guo Ran gritted his teeth and said, if he could really get the door-to-door knocker from the Gates of Hell, that would be so impressive he could brag about it for the next life. The temptation was too great, and he fell for it on the spot.
"I'll give you all the Hell Chains. Go up and tie them to the two door knobs separately, and leave the rest to me.
However, there are quite a few chains, and you can't use your primordial spirit power; you have to take them one by one to avoid being sensed by the gate. As he spoke, Long Chen handed the chain to Guo Ran.
Long Chen had obtained many chains from Hell, but none were long. He connected them one by one.
Guo Ran, carrying a chain, quietly climbed up the gates of hell and closed the gate. Surprisingly, Guo Ran climbed up like an ant, yet the door showed no reaction at all, as if he still couldn't sense his presence. This made Long Chen breathe a sigh of relief.
Guo Ran hung chain after chain on the door knocker, finally twisting them into a huge rope to make the chain even stronger.
When Long Chen used up all the chains, the two massive chains and ropes were fully assembled.
"Alright, Guo Ran, you go back first. Otherwise, if someone comes out to hunt you down, I won't be able to take care of you." Long Chen chuckled.
