Worlds’ Apocalypse Online
chapter-392

As Gu Qing Shan listened, he found a later of cold sweat already formed on his back.

Who could’ve known that the demons were planning something so grand!

Both Huang Quan and the human realm were now on the verge of destruction.

The demons were close to their harvest.

Gu Qing Shan stood at the bottom of the Forgetting River, staying silent for a long time.

After a while, he asked: “Did the Divinities of Huang Quan really all die? None of them survived at all?”

“That’s not the case” the Forgetting River Soul Separation Hook answered.

Gu Qing Shan’s hope sparked .

“Which Divinity survived?” he hurriedly asked.

“Not survived, but missing ——the eight most powerful Divinities of Huang Quan disappeared before everything happened”

“Where did they go?”

“I’m not sure”

Fine, seems like Divinities aren’t reliable after all, perhaps they ran away.

Gu Qing Shan stayed silent for a bit, then asked: “Can that 7-colored spear kill you?”

“It will only purposefully attack those Divinities and Demon Lords, as long as we weapons don’t actively provoke it, it will ignore us”

The small white bird cut in: “I once had the seven leaders go up to the mountain to take the 7-colored spear away, but as soon as they touched it, they were decimated into a pile of bloody goop”

“Because the dead has already died, they instantly got sent back to their hells to sleep”

“Then where’s the 7-colored spear now?”

“It’s still at the top of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain ———the Grand Tie Wei Mountain can stop even the wind of chaotic tribulation, so of course it isn’t fazed by the spear”

“However, all the creatures and buildings on top of the mountain have been destroyed by the spear”

Saying so, the small white bird couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook transmitted an image over.

The 7-colored spear was neatly leaning on a cliff on top of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.

The gold talisman was still stuck to the spear, temporarily sealing it.

Seeing that, Gu Qing Shan shook his head.

There’s no way for him to deal with such an incredibly destructive thing.

The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook spoke: “It’s good that you were careful enough not to do straight up the mountain, otherwise you would’ve died before you even saw it”

Gu Qing Shan asked: “How is hell?”

The scene changed again.

Deep underneath the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.

All hells broke loose.

Even though the dead are still suffering from the tortures of hell, they were already thinking of different ways to escape Huang Quan and go to the human realm.

The first hell, Blood River Hell. (1)

The dead were being submerged in boiling blood, suffering from the pain of being boiled alive.

Furthermore, there are monsters in the blood that is always gnawing away at the dead’s bodies.

Passing through the Blood River Hell, the scene showed the deepest part of the river where all the blood flows.

There was a steep hillside here.

All the blood flowed down this hillside.

Only occasionally would there be a few half-dead deads that arrive here.

This was the entrance to the Dismemberment Hell.

The dead would roll down the steep hillside, getting faster and faster as they do.

Countless blades and shards protruded from the ground, slicing the dead into bits as they rolled down.

When they finally died, they would revive and wake up again where they died.

They will once again starts rolling down this hillside filled with sharp blades, until their bodies get dismembered again.

Roll down, gets dismembered, die, revive, this cycle will keep repeating itself until they finally made it past the entire 693,800,000 miles journey.

Only then will they have passed through the second layer of hell.

The hillside directly connects to the 3rd layer of hell, the Frozen Hell.

Only half of the Frozen Hell was still visible here, the other half already disappeared into the void of space.

Very clearly, this hell is planning to move to the human realm.

Gu Qing Shan carefully observed this hell.

15 powerful dead stood at the middle of the Frozen hell, surrounding the Devil King Warden Rod and infusing it with power, pushing the Frozen Hell to escape from Huang Quan.

Gu Qing Shan saw a familiar figure there.

The black cloaked skeleton.

“How did you know the method to separate hell from Huang Quan?” Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask.

“There is a secret ritual inscribed in the Devil King Warden Rod that allows them to leave Huang Quan ——the first Devil King had created and left it there for the sake of invading other worlds after he’s fully taken control of Huang Quan” the Soul Separating Hook answered.

“A dead only needs to touch the Devil King Warden Rod to be bestowed this secret ritual”

“They have all learnt the method to let hell separate from Huang Quan”

A few more powerful dead approached from deep within the Frozen Hell.

They all placed their hands on the Devil King Warden Rod.

The rod war letting out a black-colored light.

Very quickly, these dead appeared as if they understood something.

Then they joined with the rest of the dead to speed up the release of the Frozen Hell.

At this point, the Devil King Warden Rod shook a bit before disappearing without a trace.

“It has left to go to another hell and bestow this secret ritual again” the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook explained.

“The Devil King Warden Rod is conscious?”

“It is not, back in the Age of Old, it’s consciousness has been wiped by the Divinities”

“Then how can it still do all these things?”

“Once the Devil King Warden Rod’s seal is released, it will naturally come to each hell to bestow upon them the method to separate from Huang Quan ———because this was the first order and mission that the Devil King gave it”

Gu Qing Shan muses about this: “You said the Devil King Warden Rod had another ability, what would that be?”

“It is an ability that only the Devil King can use”

“With the rod in hand, the Devil King can use that ability to release all 18 layers of hell, allowing all the dead to gather within Huang Quan”

The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook continued: “The Law of hell is unimaginably powerful, so the Devil King Warden Rod should have many other abilities, but we don’t know what they are”

The scene changed.

The Devil King Warden Rod appeared at the Devouring Hell.

The dead wanders on a desolate desert landscape, where occasionally metal dogs, metal tigers and metal lions would sprout from the ground, chase them down, tear them apart and eat them.

A few particularly powerful dead came running, touched the Devil King Warden Rod and began to accept the bestowal of the secret ritual.

After the Devouring Hell comes the Eroding Hell.

The dead in this layer will have their bodies slowly eroded away by the liquid they’re in, until finally even the scraps of their bones are eaten away will they be considered dead.

The deeper they go down, the crueler the suffering becomes.

Artillery Hell,

Stone Mill Hell,

Blade Mountain Hell,

Roasting Hell,

Limbless Hell,

Steamer Hell,

Skinning Hell,

Heartless Hell,

Deboning Hell,

Poison Hell,

Frying Hell

Jagged Hell,

Pinching Hell,

According to the level of suffering, the Hells are further divided into Small hell, Great hell, and Infernal hell.

The dead suffers a lot in Small hells, but not for very long, as soon as they suffer enough, they may reincarnate into the Samsara again.

In Great hells, the dead must suffer for a total of 500 years to get one day of rest, repeating until their sins are atoned for will they be transferred to a Small hell.

The most terrifying are the Infernal hells, the dead are under constant torture, and unless something unexpected happens, this suffering will continue for eternity without end.

Within Gu Qing Shan’s vision, there are only the dead wandering about the 18 layers of hell without a single Divinity watching over them.

In every hell, the most powerful deads gathered in place, using the secret ritual provided by the Devil King Warden Rod to control their own hell to leave.

They want to have their hell separate from Huang Quan and comes to the human realm.

Afterall, if they get to eat human flesh and drink human blood, the suffering they feel will lessen, if only for a little bit.

If they manage to eat a human soul, the dead will even become more powerful!

“That was yesterday. Today, the Devil King Warden Rod will complete its second mission”

“What does it want to do?”

“To pick out a new Devil King of course”

The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook sighed: “Once a Devil King is born, with the Devil King Warden Rod in hand, they will rule over the 18 layers of hell and command total invasion of the human realm”

“Look, this is today”

The scene changed.

Both the Blood River Hell and the Poison Hell had picked out 5 powerful deads.

They were currently battling in front of the Devil King Warden Rod.

The final winner will advance.

The most powerful dead will be selected from the 18 layers of hell.

And this most powerful dead will become the new Devil King.

It will have the right to use the Devil King Warden Rod, commanding all the dead and all the hells to invade the human realm.
