Chapter 1140 No Way Out of Hell
Everyone’s expressions immediately became solemn.
Originally, when they saw the scene of vengeful souls transforming into demons, they hadn’t made too many connections, but after Lin Qiye’s analysis, they became aware of the terrifying conspiracy behind these two lost divine kingdoms.
“What should we do then?” Shen Qingzhu frowned as he spoke.
An Qingyu pushed up his glasses and said, “The most reliable method right now is to quickly return to Great Xia, inform the Heavenly Court about what’s happening here, and have them use the Heavenly Court’s origin power to directly destroy the Hell origin, completely strangling the embryonic form of the克系 divine kingdom in its cradle.
Odin deliberately led away Michael, but he doesn’t know about our existence, so from his perspective, as long as he keeps Michael occupied, this divine kingdom won’t be exposed. He wouldn’t anticipate that someone would discover the secret of this place and notify the Great Xia Heavenly Court.”
“That’s right,” Lin Qiye nodded in agreement. “This is the best method… the Heavenly Court gods could even wait before destroying this divine kingdom, instead hiding in the shadows until Odin delivers himself to their doorstep, then eliminate him on the spot.”
“But there’s one thing I still don’t quite understand.”
An Qingyu lowered his head in contemplation.
“What is it?”
Creating the Earth’s prototype of the Cthulhu pantheon must be quite important for the Cthulhu gods… Would they really dare to leave two divine realms so open? Aren’t they afraid someone might accidentally wander in and discover the secrets here?
“But hasn’t Heaven already been sealed?” Jiang Er asked.
“Heaven has indeed been sealed, but what about Hell?” An Qingyu said. “Don’t forget, Odin came in through a gap in Hell. If he knew about the entrance, wouldn’t others from other pantheons in the world know too?”
“And look at Zhuai-ge, didn’t he just drift in on a boat following the ocean currents?”
“If the Cthulhu pantheon were exposed, it would inevitably lead to an all-out assault from every pantheon on Earth, so secrecy is paramount. Would those things on the moon allow such a loophole to exist?”
An Qingyu’s series of questions left everyone present speechless. Lin Qiye pondered for a long time, then looked up at the sky.
In the sky, that crack continuously raining down ash had almost completely healed.
He seemed to realize something, and his expression changed:
“Not good! We need to get to the gap quickly!”
Without another word, he led everyone rapidly toward the gap location that Shen Qingzhu had pointed out.
The group sped along the mountain gorge at an astonishing pace. After flying just a few kilometers, An Qingyu, who was at the back of the team, slightly changed his expression and turned to look behind.
“Something is watching us.”
“Really?” Jiang Er floated out from the coffin and looked around. “But those demons haven’t caught up with us, have they?”
“It’s not demons.”
Flying at the front of the team, Lin Qiye spoke in a deep voice, “It’s hell.”
“Hell?”
“This hell is watching us.”
Lin Qiye’s gaze turned toward the peaks on both sides of the mountain gorge. At the same time, the ground beneath everyone’s feet began to tremble slightly!
The ash covering the ground and mountain surface like snow began to fall off in the tremors. The originally brown, crevice-filled earth had somehow become covered with enormous flesh nodules!
From the size of fists to houses, these nodules grew like fruits from the ground, covering almost every corner of hell. Several of the flesh balls split open from the center, and large numbers of red insects formed crimson eyeballs that rotated rapidly.
In an instant, dozens of differently sized crimson insect eyes appeared on both sides of the gorge, locking onto Lin Qiye and the others flying above the water.
The moment they saw these insect eyes, the others seemed to realize something, and their expressions changed dramatically!
“This hell has come alive?!”
“I should have realized it earlier,” Lin Qiye said with furrowed brows. “Those ashes can contaminate living human bodies as well as dead things, including corpses. In this snowfall-like ash, what’s most affected isn’t the corpses of demons and angels or the vengeful spirits, but hell and heaven themselves!
What the K-system gods wanted was never a fixed, rigid, and cumbersome divine realm. What they wanted was a living divine realm!
Just by piling these ashes on hell and heaven, they could contaminate them into living entities controlled by the K-system gods. Only this way would this divine realm absolutely avoid detection by other divine realms!”
As Lin Qiye spoke, he flew across the water and finally stopped at a cliff waterfall at the end of the water area.
The cliff was several kilometers high, with roaring blood-colored water pouring down from above, making thunderous sounds. Water droplets splashed in all directions as Lin Qiye’s face grew extremely grim.
“Where’s the gap?” An Qingyu looked at Shen Qingzhu.
“It was right around here,” Shen Qingzhu’s expression was unprecedentedly serious. “The exploration ship entered through this waterfall. We should have seen it on our way here.”
“Did we miss it?” Jiang Er asked.
“No… we didn’t miss it,” Lin Qiye slowly shook his head. “It healed itself.”
Lin Qiye stretched out his hand, pointing to the deep red sky. “Remember what I said? This divine realm has come alive under the contamination of the ashes. It’s like a gigantic flesh ball, and we’re now inside this flesh ball.
Since it’s a living entity, it has the ability to heal wounds. The crack in the sky where the ashes fell from has been self-healed.
The gap from hell to the outside world wasn’t large to begin with. To it, it’s like a small wound on a thumb that can heal completely very quickly…”
“Without the gap, how can we get out?”
Jiang Er’s voice came through the Bluetooth speaker. Lin Qiye and An Qingyu both fell silent.
Amid the roaring sound of the waterfall, Lin Qiye spoke bitterly:
“We… can’t get out.”
Heaven had been completely sealed off when the ashes first fell, and hell’s gap had quickly healed after being contaminated. Now heaven and hell had completely become living entities nurtured by the K-system gods, and all exit routes had been cut off.
Now, it was truly a case of no way to heaven, no door to hell.
An Qingyu clenched his fists tightly, his face full of unwillingness.
They had struggled so hard to pass through heaven and hell, had come this far, only to end up trapped here by the K-system gods.
Moreover, after heaven and hell became living entities, they likely gained the ability to move freely, which meant these two divine realms might no longer be in the sea area where they had entered. Even if Michael escaped and returned, that sea area would already be empty.
All routes out were completely sealed, and no one could save them. They had completely fallen into this divine realm cultivation dish prepared by the K-system gods.
Under Lin Qiye’s command, everyone first found a hidden cave in the cliff face behind the waterfall to take shelter.
Due to the obstruction of the water flow, no ashes had drifted in here, and Lin Qiye didn’t sense the presence of any flesh nodules, so it should be a relatively safe place.
“There must be another way,” An Qingyu took a deep breath and began to think seriously. “Since there’s no way out, can we create one ourselves?”
