Chapter 391: He’s Back!
Grandma’s name is Grandma Messekis, she’s the strongest warrior at Water Divination School, a level seven ancient powerful being, and an important character in the game.
She used to be a powerful warrior in the early stages of the game, but now she’s sitting on the ground, unable to speak.
"How is this possible… how…"
"Water Divination didn’t make a mistake, he’s back, why did he come back, why…"
Just then, a young woman in a long light blue robe walked over, "Grandma, why are you awake?"
"Why are you sitting on the ground, get up quickly!"
Grandma Messekis suddenly grabbed the woman’s wrist, looking wild, "He’s back, he’s back!"
The woman looked confused, "Who, who’s back?"
"Granny, what are you talking about?"
Grandma Messekis opened her arms wide and shouted loudly to the sky, "It’s him!"
"Blood scattered, heaven equals slaughter god’s dance!"
"Stubborn inch, the door of death opens!"
"Where the Dragon King passes, eternity follows!"
"All races bow down and see him as emperor!"
"The souls in the Hall of Response… roar, the voice in the void turns piercing… the bell tolls, he has returned…"
The woman looked confused, "Who are you talking about?"
Grandma Messekis looked puzzled at the woman and said, "It’s that person, it’s the one whom nobody dares to name!"
"Today, everything is about to change…"
。。。
Water Divination School, beneath the Ice Prison.
Ye Long made his way deep into the Ice Prison without any obstacles.
But it was really cold here. As Ye Long went further down, the chill got heavier. There wasn’t a living soul in sight along the way, which wasn’t surprising considering the place.
After only walking for a short while, Ye Long felt like his very marrow was freezing. He couldn’t imagine how those who had been kept here for a long time endured it.
Just as Ye Long was thinking this, he suddenly caught sight of a living person.
It was an old man dressed in tattered robes, with his hands and feet bound in chains.
"Well, I take back what I said earlier."
Ye Long stopped walking.
The old man slowly lifted his head, and when he saw Ye Long, his pupils shrank suddenly.
The old man suddenly stood up with a start, startling Ye Long!
The old man knelt down with a thud, "I, Aogude, have seen the Emperor, the Dragon Emperor, eternal and immortal!"
Ye Long was puzzled, "What are you saying?"
The old man named Aogude looked up, "You… no, not you, not yet…"
The old man suddenly became incoherent, which puzzled Ye Long even more, "What are you saying, what do you mean by ‘not yet’?"
Aogude sighed heavily, "You look very similar, so similar, but alas, it’s not you, not you…"
"What is your name?"
"Ye Long," Ye Long answered truthfully.
The old man in front of him seemed to harbor no hostility towards him. On the contrary, he looked as if he knew him, with a hint of regret in his eyes.
However, the grand gesture from the moment he arrived truly caught Ye Long off guard.
Moreover, for some reason, the moment Ye Long saw the old man, that inexplicable flutter in his heart disappeared.
The mysterious guidance vanished as well.
"Ye Long, why have you come here?"
Ye Long shook his head, "I don’t know, I just felt like coming, so I came?"
Aogude took a deep breath, then suddenly pointed to the next room, "There is a legendary wand, known as the Death Energy Wand. If you wish to have it, I can help you."
A legendary wand?
Ye Long turned to the side and then knocked on the frozen door.
"There’s no need to try, that’s ice, you can’t destroy it with your strength, but I have a way to help you."
"I’m Hell Walker Aogude, and I can help your soul leave your body to get that magic wand."
Ye Long frowned at the words, "That’s not necessary."
Even for a stranger, no, not even a familiar person could persuade Ye Long to leave his body willingly.
No matter how well he knew someone, Ye Long couldn’t trust them, especially not someone he met for the first time.
"I have a way to get there."
Ye Long was about to reach out his right hand to create a passage, but at that moment, Aogude suddenly laughed.
"If it were someone else, I would definitely take over their body while their soul is out."
"But I won’t do as you say," he replied.
Ye Long turned and said, "Oh, thank you, but I have a simpler way."
"No, I don’t want you to get that magic wand, but you must enter the Hall of Echoes once. Only when you reach there, you will be able to see your true self," Aogude explained.
Ye Long was puzzled, "So what is the Hall of Echoes, and what does ‘true self’ mean?"
Aogude took a deep breath, "The Hall of Echoes is the beginning of everything, the end of everything. All souls are originated from there, it’s the ultimate destination for all souls."
"As for your true self, you will understand it when you find it."
Ye Long still doubted Aogude.
"So, the Hall of Echoes is like the underworld, you want me to go there. Leaving aside whether I can come back, I definitely won’t go," Ye Long insisted.
Aogude nodded, "Alright then, it’s up to you."
Ye Long thought for a moment, and suddenly felt like it might not be a good idea to just take the wand like that.
Are there any ambushes or traps in here?
It’s really hard to say…
Come to think of it, the wand doesn’t seem useful to him at all, he really doesn’t need to take this risk.
Or rather, maybe the wand is just Aogude’s perspective, Ye Long can’t be sure what’s inside.
After thinking about it, Ye Long still felt it wasn’t necessary to take this risk.
Just then, there was a sudden sound of footsteps inside the ice prison!
Ye Long instinctively tried to hide himself, but a man had already appeared in front of him!
It was a man wrapped in black mist, with skin as pale as a dead person, and long black hair.
He was wearing a black skeleton robe with golden edges, with two skull heads on each side, and soul fire flickering in them, looking especially creepy.
Seeing the man, Ye Long instinctively stepped back.
"I’m lost, do you believe me?"
The man’s eyes were very cold, "It’s okay, I’m lost too."
Ah, that’s okay then.
"I’ll go first, you… do your thing?"
Ye Long cautiously said, and then saw the man suddenly staring at him, "What’s your name?"
"I… My name is Ye Qiu," replied Ye Long.
The man suddenly sneered, "You say your name is Ye Qiu, what a coincidence, I happen to know someone named Ye Qiu."
"Do you know who I am?"
"May I ask… who are you, sir?"
"Jiang Chen, you can also call me Night Song. Just a friendly reminder, I have killed more people than you have ever seen."
Jiang Chen appeared in front of Ye Long in an instant, directly grabbing his neck with one hand, countless dead spirits pouring out from his hand!
"Tell me, who are you."
"If I don’t get a satisfactory answer within ten seconds, you won’t need to say anything anymore."
