Chapter 3550 Trapped
"Lord Hades Emperor!"
Rodney was overjoyed to see the Underworld Emperor and immediately knelt down, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Underworld Emperor!"
The Underworld Emperor slowly opened his eyes and looked at the person kneeling before him. His stone-like face gradually regained some life, and his eyes gradually regained some of their luster. "Rodney, how did you come here? Are my people all well?"
"Lord Hades Emperor!"
Rodney looked at Hades, suppressing his excitement, his eyes welling up with tears.
"My people have been displaced and have suffered greatly at the hands of the gods. I have also been imprisoned in the divine prison for tens of thousands of years, yearning day and night to see you again!"
"The race of gods! They promised to treat my people well! What right do they have to do this!"
Upon hearing that his people had been subjected to such humiliation, the Underworld Emperor became agitated. The dark golden chains binding his body trembled uncontrollably, and the flames of his soul flickered in his eyes.
"I will make them pay the price!"
The Underworld Emperor suddenly turned his head to look at Fang Heng, his eyes flashing with the fire of his soul as he stared at Fang Heng, "You are not a member of the divine race! Who are you? How did you get here?"
"I am Fang Heng. I have some issues with the God Clan. I happened to run into your clansmen, so I came to visit."
As Fang Heng spoke, he stretched out his hand, and a burning aura of death appeared in his palm.
"Your Majesty, no offense intended. I possess a portion of the power of death and am very curious about the Underworld. I would like to meet Your Majesty, the ruler of the Underworld."
Hades frowned slightly and then looked at Rodney beside him.
Rodney nodded and said, "Emperor of the Underworld, I am still imprisoned by the Gods. He brought me here to see you."
The Underworld Emperor calmed his anger and nodded, saying, "Fang Heng, thank you for bringing my people here. What would you like to know?"
"I want to know about the underworld, what happens there."
The Underworld Emperor closed his eyes, and scenes from the past flashed through his mind.
"It's quite commonplace. The underworld is weakening while the divine realm is strengthening. It's simply because the gods covet the power of my underworld. It's a world of survival of the fittest, and the losers have no excuses to make."
The Underworld Emperor opened his eyes again and said in a deep voice, "The God Clan invaded the Underworld and started a holy war. I led my people to fight against them. I admit that our Underworld Clan was once at a disadvantage."
"The Gods have made a deal with us. They will guarantee the safety of my people and allow them to continue living in the Underworld. In exchange, the Underworld will accept the rule of the Gods, and the Underworld race will continue to maintain the daily operation of the Underworld. I also voluntarily accept being sealed and imprisoned here."
Fang Heng interrupted, "Underworld Emperor, I have been to the Underworld. As far as I know, the Underworld has now been sealed by the God Clan. I have not found any trace of the Underworld Clan living there."
The Underworld Emperor was immediately startled and turned to look at Rodney. "Rodney! What's going on? Where are my people?"
Rodney's face showed pain as he said in a deep voice, "Emperor of the Underworld, not long after you sealed it, the race of gods began to move the Death Vortex, and the Underworld race was also forced to migrate from the Underworld to the realm of gods to take care of the Death Vortex."
"The race of gods..."
The Underworld Emperor suppressed the raging anger surging within him, muttering to himself. The ghostly fire in his eyes flickered, and the aura of death surged from his body, interacting with the sacred chains binding him and making a hissing sound.
"They broke their promise, and they will pay the price."
Fang Heng said, "Underworld Emperor, don't get agitated. Be careful not to trigger the seal and attract the guardians of the God Clan. On the other hand, at least your people are still alive, aren't they?"
"Hmph!" The Underworld Emperor snorted heavily. "The Gods are not so kind. They keep my people around simply to use their power to maintain the world's operation."
Fang Heng asked, "What do you mean?"
Rodney sighed deeply and shook his head, saying, "Let me explain."
"After death, all souls in the world are attracted to the underworld and are led into it. After being baptized by the death vortex of the underworld, a very small number of souls will enter the realm of gods and hell, while the majority will be cleansed of their aura in the cycle of reincarnation and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation."
"The gods wanted to forcibly interfere with reincarnation, control life and death, and seize the power of the underworld, which is why they launched an attack on the underworld."
"They won. They finally reached a deal with the Underworld Emperor and gained control of the Underworld and the Vortex of Death."
"After that, the God Clan used special means to move the Netherworld Vortex into the God Realm, enslaving the Netherworld Clan to maintain the Netherworld Vortex and the basic operation of the Netherworld, firmly controlling the Netherworld Vortex, and finally transferring all the Netherworld Clan from the Netherworld to completely seal the Netherworld."
Fang Heng secretly made plans in his heart.
The gods are really going all out.
However, this means that the Netherworld Vortex actually exists.
No wonder he couldn't be found in the underworld before; it turns out he was transferred by the gods in some way.
interesting!
If we can find the Netherworld Vortex hidden by the God Clan, we might be able to find the source of death and comprehend the origin of the Netherworld Vortex's power.
"Thank you for your explanation. I have another question that I would like to have answered."
Fang Heng looked at the Underworld Emperor and asked, "How is the power of the Underworld Source generated?"
The Underworld Emperor gazed at Fang Heng, gently shook his head, and said, "Your question is very strange. The source of the Underworld is the origin of the Underworld. It is the end point of the soul from birth. When the soul vortex is in motion, it can release power. This power gradually forms the source of the Underworld. The two complement each other, or rather, they are one. There is no chicken-and-egg problem."
Really?
Fang Heng expressed his doubts.
If it were really that simple, his Death Realm was established by imitating the Underworld. He already had the source of death, so why has it been unable to complete its self-operation, cycle, and growth for so long?
He could sense that the power of the source of the dead realm was insufficient, thus preventing the formation of the unique temple of the dead that existed in the underworld.
There must be something that was overlooked.
Did the Underworld Emperor truly not know, or was he simply unwilling to tell?
"Thank you again for your answer." Fang Heng did not press further, suppressing his doubts, and continued, "Underworld Emperor, since our enemies are all of the God race, perhaps we can cooperate."
"cooperate?"
The Underworld Emperor thought for a moment, then looked at Fang Heng, "I do need to deal with the God Clan. Cooperation would benefit both of us, but the problem is, how can you expect me to trust you?"
"Alright, since there's no trust involved, let's forget about the cooperation."
Fang Heng shrugged, abandoning the idea of cooperating with the Underworld Emperor.
According to the Underworld Clan, they suffered heavy casualties in their battle against the God Clan.
That means we can't beat them.
Even fighting on their own territory in the Underworld, they couldn't defeat the gods, so the strength of the Underworld race can only be described as average.
Now, many more years have passed, and the abilities of the gods have improved to a certain extent.
On the other hand, the Underworld race has been enslaved by the gods for years. They couldn't even protect the Underworld and it was sealed away. All the original bonuses from the Underworld temples were wiped out, and now only the Underworld Emperor, who has been restricted and sealed for many years, remains.
Its original full power has weakened to less than 30%.
Can't beat it!
Can't beat it at all.
Whether or not he has the cooperation of the Underworld Clan, it will all be the same; in the end, he still has to rely on himself. (End of Chapter)
