“Xiao Yin, do you understand the Void?”
After saying goodbye to Auntie, I stepped into the entrance of the "Void." It looked like a forest, but there was really nothing here, and I couldn't see any danger.
“Hey, why are you asking me that now that you're here?” Xiao Yin said.
“What’s wrong? Is there something special about this place?”
Xiao Yin sounded somewhat displeased. Ever since I saved Amo, Xiao Yin had been silent.
“The Void, don’t you understand?”
“I don’t understand; that term is too abstract.”
“Extremely large yet extremely small; it all depends on your luck.”
“Xiao Yin, why do you all have to speak so vaguely?”
“Xi Meng, let me ask you, where is this place?”
“Hell.”
“Right, then where should the magical beasts be?”
“The Underworld.” I answered without hesitation.
“If that’s the case, how can you find a Level Six magical beast's core here?”
This… I was taken aback. How could that be possible?! Only by truly entering the Underworld and cultivating could there be a level classification; Hell doesn’t discuss these things at all.
“So, does that mean I can’t find it at all?!” Why did that old man still want me to come here?!
"No, this is precisely the terrifying aspect of the Void; you can find everything you desire here."
"What does that mean?" I was confused, caught between having and not having.
"Items from the outside world occasionally appear here, and there will always be something you need. However, the demand is overwhelming, so naturally, there are many competitors."
"Are you saying I have to fight for it?"
"It's not that simple. Just think about it: if your opponents number in the thousands, can mere fighting solve anything?"
"Then—" My expression stiffened; I might have guessed the answer.
"That's right, only through slaughter."
"You must keep killing and killing. Perhaps you will become numb and lose your sanity until you are the last one standing, and then you can obtain what you want."
"Resources in Hell are scarce; almost everything comes from the 'Void.' Just to seize one item, how much effort do those strong ones put in?! And you have nothing—what are your chances of winning?"
"Anything from the Void is worthless in Hell; do you know how many greedy individuals are waiting for their chance here?!"
"I—" I didn't know what to say anymore.
"Xi Meng, Hell is indeed Hell."
It truly is Hell...
"Now tell me, even so, do you still want to move forward?"
Do I still want to?
The slaughter I despise most, thousands of opponents, a bleak outlook with no chance of victory—not even knowing when the Beast Inner Pill will appear. Do I still want to continue?
"But, Xiao Yin, I just feel... Amo can help me find Silver Moon." By the end of my statement, my confidence had noticeably weakened. It was just a feeling—a mere feeling.
"Hey, you better pray that you can make it out alive."
"Yeah, let's go."
I opened Thin Cicada Wings and quickly flew deep into the 'Void.'
While I still had some hesitation, I wanted to save that man...
"What are they fighting over?" I stopped on a tree and saw a dark mass of people fighting in the distance. Clearly, this was not the right time for me to intervene.
"It looks like a weapon," Xiao Yin said.
A weapon? It seemed to be... a long sword?
It was of poor quality, lacking spirit, and not sharp. I muttered, "They're fighting over this weapon?! It's not even worth one-tenth of the Bone Flute or Horn Flute."
"I think you still don't understand what hell is. They are all dead, regardless of their identity or race. Here, they have nothing; a weapon represents one more chance to survive and leave this place."
"And don't forget, you are now Undead, and your combat ability is still inferior to theirs."
Xiao Yin completely crushed my spirits. Looking at the chaos below, my head felt heavy. No, I needed to come up with a plan...
