"Indeed, there is a story behind it... It all starts with the Lord of the Three Realms," the ancestor replied.
"Lord of the Three Realms?!"
"That's right. At the beginning of creation, the Lord of the Three Realms divided the three realms and created all things. Every creature we see has its own reason for existence."
"And Yama Queen and Los Crystal were the first beings created by the Lord of the Three Realms; they each possess their own innate powers."
"Los Crystal refers to Master as Sister Three. Is there another figure?" I asked.
"Yes, that person is the Lord of the Divine Realm—Wutian." The ancestor sighed as he continued, "Initially, the three of them had a close relationship, but later, when they decided to guard their respective realms, disagreements arose. After arguing for several hundred years without resolution, they ultimately decided to settle it through combat."
"Their true forms are different, so naturally, each has its strengths and weaknesses. Wutian possesses the highest magical power and was chosen as the Lord of the Divine Realm. Master came second and was designated as the Lord of the Underworld. Los Crystal was defeated but did not adhere to their previous agreement; instead, he left and sealed himself in the Lost City of Lothar, never to be heard from again."
"Los Crystal must have been angry. As a being also created by the Lord of the Three Realms, he found himself to be the weakest in power; he must have felt that the Lord favored the other two."
"Perhaps. Master, being sentimental, turned a blind eye to Los Crystal's situation. As long as he remained compliant, Master allowed him to stay in the Underworld. It was thought that this matter would end and peace could be enjoyed among the three realms, but it only led to more trouble."
"The more beings there are in the three realms, the more desires arise. Ultimately, conflicts erupted among them again. A great war broke out between the Underworld and the Divine Realm; if it weren't for the Lord of the Three Realms intervening personally at the end, perhaps chaos would have returned to its original state."
"The current situation seems calm, but once one side breaks this tranquility, the consequences could be unimaginable," said my ancestor.
I was startled and finally understood what I had been unable to grasp before!
"So you're saying that Siyimo's situation isn't being ignored by the Divine Realm; rather, they are waiting for an opportunity to take action against the Underworld while Siyimo disrupts all three realms?!" I exclaimed.
"...You are quite right. As long as Wutian remains inactive, the Divine Realm will never interfere in Underworld matters."
"Ancestor—"
"Yama Queen is my master. Now that I am passing on the Nether Energy technique to you, I find myself in a difficult position and unable to intervene directly. Fortunately, Hell has not been formally divided within the three realms; there are still some matters where I can lean towards you," my ancestor said with a slight smile.
I could see my ancestor's helplessness; even as a god of death, he felt powerless in this matter.
"It seems we need to speed up the prevention of Siyimo's foolish ideas; everything she does is merely a farce in the eyes of the divine realm."
"Xi Meng, remember the words of our ancestors: only by becoming stronger can you put an end to all this nonsense. The Underworld is currently leaderless, and Ten Thousand Demons are causing chaos. It is reasonable for the divine realm to want to subdue the Underworld."
"Even if I become stronger, I still cannot interfere in the matters between the three realms—"
"Enough, child. What more do you doubt now that you stand here today? I must return to Hell; I have already delayed too long here." The ancestor looked at me with kindness.
"What about my companions? I haven't found them yet," I said anxiously.
"Go on, Los Crystal should not trouble you now," the ancestor replied.
"Wait—" The ancestor seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Keep that Ice Spirit Stone safe; do not let it escape, and do not let anyone else know of its existence." Saying this, the ancestor handed me a small vial.
"This can contain a hundred things; put it inside, and the outside world will not sense its presence," the ancestor instructed.
I carefully placed the Ice Spirit Stone into the vial, while Little One displayed a submissive demeanor and stopped making noise.
Not long after the ancestor left, another figure appeared in the Ice Palace.
"Los Crystal sent you?" I asked the nearby Snowman.
The Snowman nodded but did not dare approach.
"Alright, take me to find my companions," I said.
Los Crystal must be eager for us to leave quickly.
As soon as I finished speaking, a door appeared next to Snowman, and I followed him through.
The scene returned to its previous state, but I knew this was definitely not the second layer.
"Which layer is this?" I asked.
"The fifth layer."
"What?! Chiba has already reached the fifth layer!"
No, I must stop Chiba. The sixth layer is nothing but a trap!
Snowman suddenly tugged at my sleeve and said, "They just entered the sixth layer."
"How could it be so fast?!" I exclaimed.
"They obtained the master's treasure."
"Damn it, what happens if they enter the sixth layer?!"
"They will die," Snowman replied tersely.
"Is there no chance of survival? Didn't your master leave a few people to let go?"
"...The master is gone."
"What?! Where did he go?!"
"I don't know."
Damn Los Crystal, even when leaving, he couldn't do anything good!
"Take me to the sixth layer!"
"...I can't get in."
"Ah?!"
"As soon as I entered, I melted."
"What is in there?!" I grabbed the Snowman and said anxiously.
If even the Snowman created by Los Crystal could melt, there must be something terrifying inside.
"I don't know."
"Take me to the entrance. I can go in by myself, right?!"
The Snowman nodded and then opened the door.
...
As soon as I stepped through the door, the Snowman disappeared.
Compared to the previous layers, this sixth layer was eerily quiet.
What is that smell? A sourness mixed with a hint of bitterness!
Sure enough, Chiba and the others were here. I could sense Chiba's presence, and there was also some movement from the Dark Stone within me.
"Have you found your master?" I whispered.
Aside from my own voice, there was truly no other sound.
The further I walked in, the hotter and more uncomfortable my body felt.
"Thud!" It felt like something fell from above and hit my arm.
Looking down, it was a small droplet of water. My arm didn't react much, and in my haste to find Chiba and the others, I didn't pay it much attention.
A few small droplets of water fell on me along the way, some feeling warm, but I didn't react much.
However, the deeper I went, the more strange the sudden burning sensation in my body became!
I looked down and saw that the areas on my arms where the droplets had touched were inexplicably starting to melt!
It was as if they had been corroded by sulfuric acid, becoming mushy!
Damn it, how could this happen!
“Pure Sound Armor!” I shouted loudly.
I spread my wings and flew rapidly through the sixth layer; Chiba must hold on!
Those terrifying droplets became denser, and when they hit Pure Sound Armor, corrosion began to appear.
I had encountered a similar acidic liquid in the Necromancer's Cave, but it was definitely a hundred times more powerful than back then; even the indestructible armor was being corroded!
What kind of place is this!
“Chiba!” I shouted repeatedly.
Chiba's presence was growing fainter, almost washed away by this liquid; I had no idea how he was doing now.
I was spinning around aimlessly, unable to tell where I was anymore.
Just then, the Dark Stone suddenly flew out from within me. I was taken aback and quickly followed it!
“Xi Meng——”
It was Chiba, his voice low, but he must have sensed me!
“Chiba, where are you? I'm coming!” I shouted.
"Run fast—!" Chiba shouted hoarsely.
"Chiba!"
It's right nearby; I can clearly sense Chiba's presence, but why can't I find them?
Dark Stone suddenly stopped, hovering in one spot.
I looked down, and my heart sank!
Chiba had another figure with them; that person must be the master of Dark Stone! The two were in a bubbling pool of liquid, which was not very large, and their lower halves were almost submerged!
"Don't come down!" Chiba shouted.
"Little Pink, combine—" I yelled!
The combined body should be able to withstand the acidic liquid for a moment!
"Golden Silk Shadow—" a mass of Gold Thread surged toward the two.
"Grab them!" I shouted.
"Hurry and leave; don't waste any time. I'm out of strength," Chiba gasped.
The situation was dire; neither of them even had the strength to extend their arms, and the Gold Thread melted as soon as it touched the acidic liquid!
I gritted my teeth and shouted, "Hold on!"
Now I could only drive the Gold Thread into their bodies and pull them out with all my might! Otherwise, if this continued, their bodies would eventually dissolve!
"It'll be over soon!" I wiped away the tears streaming from my eyes and said resolutely.
"Golden Silk Shadow—!" I unleashed the Gold Thread again, this time aiming directly for their bodies.
"Thud!" One could even hear the sound of the Gold Thread piercing into their bodies.
"Ah—!"
"Ah!"
Two cries of pain echoed, and I knew how much it hurt. Without thinking too much, I pulled hard!
Swiftly and Little Pink disintegrated, retracting the Gold Thread and pulling the two onto Little Pink's back.
It wasn't over yet; this wasn't the time to relax!
"Damn it, how do we get out of here!"
"This is—the monster's—stomach," Chiba said weakly.
"Hang in there, once we find Xiaopu, I'll heal you right away." I tried to reassure them, not appearing too panicked.
Los Crystal, we will settle this score sooner or later! I made a note of it!
"How is he?" I looked at another figure lying down, feeling a bit worried.
"Not good. I came to the sixth floor looking for him, and when I found him, he was already stuck here."
"Alright, don't talk for now. Rest a bit; I promise I'll get you out!"
"Little Pink, this time we really have to fight hard." I gently stroked Little Pink's head and whispered.
"Once I find the weakest point here, we'll break through!"
"Okay, hang in there!"
Little Pink took us around several times; the acidic liquid was increasing. Little Pink's wings were almost unable to bear it and nearly fell several times but managed to stabilize itself with great effort.
"Wind, Water, Thunder, Lightning, Fire, Snow, Guardian Formation——!" Summoning six Nether Beasts, I first established a barrier and then held on for a while.
"Little Pink, we cannot give up!"
"Yes, Master."
...
"I found it!" Little Pink exclaimed excitedly.
"Very good." I trembled as I got up, burns almost covering my entire body.
"Rift Sky Seal, break for me——!"
A red scratch appeared on the Wall, but in the next second, it healed!
"Break, break for me!"
I attacked frantically, yet it kept healing, cracking and healing again!
"Los Crystal!"
