Chapter 544 The Origin of the Dark Domain
Chapter 544 The Origin of the Dark Domain
Wei Fuzhi turned his back to the crowd, pointed at the complicated and unclear runes on the door, and began to speak slowly:
“Fifty thousand years ago, the underworld and the ghost world were still one family. They lived together in what is now the underworld. At that time, the ghost world had not yet separated.
It belongs to a branch force in the underworld, in charge of all the ghosts who fall into the underworld. It is responsible for settling their whereabouts, negotiating with the cause and effect of fate, and dividing the punishment of ghosts.
Whether you go to hell or reincarnate soon, how much punishment you have to endure and how long you have to stay in hell are all known.
It can be said that the force that controlled the underworld at that time was the force that later belonged to the ghost world.
At that time, they all belonged to the underworld. Although everyone was dissatisfied with the darkness, they also knew that they were responsible for matters related to the underworld that could not see the light of day.
But... not everyone in the underworld is willing to stay in the darkness for the rest of their lives.
There are always people who yearn for unknown places, like light.
The person in charge of the Ghost Prison in the underworld at that time was Wei Yuan, the third prince of the Underworld Emperor.
Although he was in charge of the most severe ghost prison, he longed for the outside world that the ghosts described to him.
From generations of ghosts, Wei Yuan learned that the outside world is free, bright and beautiful.
There are flowers, sunshine, birds singing and flowers blooming.
But there is nothing in the underworld. There is only the dim blood-red moon in the middle, only the red spider lilies that cover the Yellow Springs Road, and only the miserable screams and pleas for mercy from the ghosts when they are punished.
Ten years passed like the same day, and three thousand years passed like this. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer and wanted to take a look outside the underworld.
The underworld is located in an extremely dark place on one side of the coast of the Sea of Ten Thousand Spirits. Outside the underworld is the endless Sea of Ten Thousand Spirits, with no end in sight.
If Wei Yuan wanted to leave there, he had to have someone to lead the way, so he took the risk to find the evil spirit imprisoned in the ghost prison and asked him to lead the way.
At that time, Wei Yuan had no idea how much disaster would be caused by leaving the underworld with the evil spirits.
Those evil spirits secretly planned to deceive Wei Yuan and let him steal the floating boat that only the Lord of the Underworld could own.
After getting the floating boat, they instigated Wei Yuan and told him how beautiful the human world was and how happy humans were.
They led Wei Yuan to successfully cross the extremely distant Wanling Sea and arrived at the Floating Light Realm.
If they had gone to any state other than the Thirteen States, the outcome would not have been so tragic.
However, those evil spirits took him to the Thirteenth State, where anyone with magical powers would become an ordinary person after entering.
There are only civilians in the Thirteenth State. They live in poverty and are underdeveloped. There is no spiritual energy in the world, and they cannot see the magnificent mountains and rivers that can be seen in the other twelve states.
However, Wei Yuan didn't know all this. The moment he set foot on the land of the human world, he breathed the fresh air and saw a prosperous scene that was completely different from the underworld.
He was very envious and wandered around the Thirteen States for a long time, until the evil spirits who pretended to be obedient escaped while he was resting.
Three evil spirits killed three hundred thousand humans in three days.
The prohibitions of the Thirteen States are effective against people with magical powers and demons, but they are ineffective against evil ghosts and evil spirits.
At that time, both the Heavenly Dao and the main divine realm trusted the Underworld very much, because the Underworld was the most ruthless and decisive of all the realms, and there had never been an accident of a ghost escaping.
But this precedent was set by the third prince, the one most favored by the Hades.
Due to his negligence, the underworld was overwhelmed with vengeful spirits within three days. There was no place for them to rest, and the number was still increasing.
The Ghost Prison was in chaos, and the Emperor of the Underworld discovered that his most trusted son had secretly left the underworld with the evil ghosts.
Evil spirits wreak havoc on the human world, and countless people who deserved to die have died here, and the accumulated sins are increasing.
Wei Yuan tried his best to save it, but it was too late.
The day when the three evil ghosts were caught and crushed had been the seventh day they had been committing crimes and killing lives.
They slaughtered half of the people in the entire Thirteen States. These unarmed people were killed and drugged without even having a chance to resist.
Wei Yuan was unable to use magic in time to capture the evil spirits due to the tightness. In the process of catching them, he himself was almost sucked away.
If it weren't for the fact that he was the descendant of the Hades and had the blood of the Hades flowing in his body, he would probably have died in the Thirteen States at that time.
After this incident, the Heavenly Dao Realm and the Main God Realm were furious, the Underworld was punished and sealed off, the three evil ghosts were killed, and Wei Yuan was also taken to the Causal Blood River in the Causal Realm.
On that day, all the realm lords participated in the bloody trial.
Including Wei Yuan’s biological father, Emperor Hades.
They watched helplessly as Wei Yuan was swallowed up by the blood river, being eaten away bit by bit until only his soul was left. He was once again nourished by the power of the blood river and grew bones and blood, but was eaten away again, and the cycle continued over and over again until Wei Yuan's soul could no longer bear it and completely dissipated from the world.
The Hades regretted his decision but was powerless to fight against the furious Heavenly Dao Realm, the Lord God Realm and the Lords of the Thirteen States.
At this point, the Thirteen States had one more taboo, which was that all ghosts were prohibited from entering.
Once a human in the Thirteen States dies, their soul must be immediately sent to the underworld.
All souls can only leave but not enter.
Emperor Ming was demoted for failing to educate his children and was replaced by his elder brother Wei Yi.
Not long after, the original Hades Emperor's lineage in the underworld began to be hated by everyone in the underworld and had no place to stand.
Until one day, the new Hades Emperor Wei Yi got drunk and spoke nonsense, saying that he was the one who arranged the three evil ghosts to lure Wei Yuan.
Even the decision for them to take Wei Yuan to the Thirteen States with restrictions was made by him, and everything was under his control.
He also mocked the Hades' lineage for being extremely stupid and unfit for the throne, saying it would be better for them to give way to others.
The Dark Emperor's lineage was furious, and in an instant they were determined to fight to the death with the Wei Yi lineage.
