Hellhound was once a celestial dog from the divine realm, a powerful god whose combat power was comparable to that of the Cat God. Although he lost his sanity after being corroded by the hellfire, and his strength declined due to the continuous release of his power incarnation, but in this super-powered era when the gods have fallen, he is still one of the few strong men in the world. He has been able to stay in the first layer of hell for so long without causing any harm to the world, thanks to the Cat God who has been suppressing the gates of hell for thousands of years.
"It's been more than a year. If the gate to hell is really unguarded, how come the hellhounds still haven't been able to break through, and can only allow some weak power projections to escape through the gaps?" Wodi scratched his hair, a little annoyed that he hadn't realized such a serious problem before. "I'm afraid that in order to avoid being noticed by the Heavenly Dao, Satan also allocated a part of his power to seal off the first layer of hell after the death of the Cat God."
But now, Satan, who has not yet recovered from his serious injuries, is unable to fight against the hellhound, and the already precarious seal of the Hell Gate has loosened.
What's more, Satan originally didn't want the Heaven to pay attention to the Gate of Hell. He wanted to deprive the Cat God of his divinity without anyone noticing. Now that his plan has failed, he probably doesn't want to waste his energy to cover up the fall of the Cat God.
Wodi analyzed the situation for a while and roughly guessed the current situation. He calmed down a lot and thankfully said, "Fortunately, the ghost master's soul is connected to the first layer of hell, so he can discover the abnormal movement in hell in time. If he waited until the gate of hell was lost before discovering it, Sufang City would be in trouble."
By then, the captain of the Nishinomiya team will be bald again, and will have to deal with the government day and night to discuss public relations matters.
But since they discovered it in advance, there is still room for recovery.
"Anyway, I'm going to go to the Hell Gate first to check out the situation," Wodi packed his luggage and prepared to leave. The Ghost Master wanted to go with him, but he refused mercilessly, "You can't go. There is a high possibility of hellfire inside the Hell Gate."
After more than a month of raising the Ghost Master, I finally managed to restore him to his original state. If I go again, I'm afraid he will turn back into the state of a demented puppy.
The ghost master let out a disappointed sound.
...
...
Raising his paw to promise that he would be back soon, Woody refused the large amount of snacks, weapons and means of transportation that the Ghost Master stuffed into his mouth, and only took a bag of grape-flavored lollipops and put them in his own hiding space.
Holding a lollipop in his mouth, he returned to the villa through the space teleportation array, shared the cat food he brought back with the cats, and then started to talk seriously with the cat toys.
"Do you know where the gate to Hell is?" he said. "How can I get there?"
Ever since the Ghost Master brought the news of the unusual movement in the first layer of hell, Cat Toy has been in a state of extreme anxiety. Wodi could understand Cat Toy's anxiety, but since the Ghost Master was present at the time, he did not ask any more questions.
[Strictly speaking, Hell's Gate is not actually a door.]
Cat Toy took a deep breath, tried to calm his surging emotions, and replied quietly.
[Hell was originally a place where creatures abandoned by the gods were exiled. It was a space created by the gods to imitate the human world. Due to different crimes, it is divided into nine layers. The lower the layer, the more serious the crime committed by the creatures. Between each layer, there is a gatekeeper who is responsible for watching over the creatures of hell and preventing them from leaving the layer without permission.]
The gods had good intentions at first, but even things abandoned by the gods would reproduce and survive in groups. Over time, the nine layers of hell, which held the most terrifying and powerful demons, became the place most sought after by creatures of hell. The so-called gatekeepers sent by the gods had long been devoured by the demons, and were replaced by the demon kings of each layer as gatekeepers.
Later, Satan, who was not accepted by the divine realm, came to hell and integrated hell into a huge group. The high and mighty gods then discovered that the dark creatures they had always looked down upon actually possessed the power to threaten them quietly.
Due to the arrogance of the gods, hell does not border the divine realm. Most of the time, hell is a space independent of the outside world, and only a small part of the first layer of hell overlaps slightly with the human world.
[The overlapping part is actually Sufang City.]
Wodi was shocked: "What do you mean, are you saying that the entire Sufang City is the gate to hell?"
[The daytime of Sufang is in the human world, and the nighttime of Sufang is in hell... Since you are a native of Sufang City, you should have heard of this saying?]
Cat Toy said, and seeing that Woody's expression was gradually falling apart, he quickly added.
[Of course, this happened a long time ago, when the gates of hell were still closed. After the Cat God took over, the gates of hell have never been opened again. Besides, various demon summoning arrays were developed later, and real demons no longer enter or exit through the gates of hell. Look at the sword master, ghost master, or son of Satan, none of them has to pass through the gates of hell to come to the human world.]
The first layer of hell has long been an unspoken forbidden area for the demons, the gate of hell has become a place for the cat god and the hellhound to play games, and Sufang City has long since returned to peace. Except for being still very popular with the creatures of hell, it is no different from other places in the human world.
"Nine out of ten superpower sects in China have their bases in Sufang City, and the Biluo Organization is always causing trouble in Sufang City. You can call this no different," Wodi complained in a low voice, shaking his head helplessly, "No wonder the hellhounds always appear randomly anywhere in Sufang City."
[Not really. The projection only needs a small gap to appear, and if the real hellhound wants to leave, it must destroy the blocking formation in front of the hell gate.]
Cat Toy continued.
[When the Cat God was in charge of the Hell Gate, he spent hundreds of years setting up a blockade formation at the Hell Gate. The center of the formation was constantly changing. He also built a small house at the center of the formation and sat in it to prevent the hellhounds from destroying the center of the formation.]
Woody: "...Can't you just tell me all this information in one sentence?"
The cat toy whimpered softly.
[It is not difficult to find the center of the formation. You are the heir recognized by the Cat God. His divinity will guide you.]
Wodi twitched his lips, skeptical about what the cat toy said, but still listened to its command, separated a small piece of the divine fragment in his body, and silently said in his heart, "I want to go to the center of the Hell Gate." After a moment, he opened his eyes and saw that the fragment of the divine fragment turned into starlight and merged back into his body, and there was also a detailed map in his mind.
"It's actually possible," the little cat exclaimed, "Can the fragment of the godhead have self-awareness?"
[That’s not the case. It’s just a lingering instinct.]
Cat Toy said, trying to hide the remaining sadness in his tone.
[Once you have collected the last two pieces of the divine soul fragments, the divine nature will be completely integrated with your soul, and these instincts will completely disappear.]
"I have no interest in becoming a god," shrugged Wodi, showing no interest in the last two soul fragments. "I'd rather solve two more math problems than become a god. After all, there are only about 200 days left before the college entrance examination."
[I don’t want you to become a god either.]
Cat Toy said honestly.
[I mean, I love the Cat God, but guarding the gates of Hell for thousands of years is really boring... The human world is more interesting.]
The speed of the ocelot was the result of a natural skill. They were chatting and had not yet finished eating the lollipop in their mouths when they arrived at their destination. In fact, this place looked quite familiar to Wodi.
"If you had come here to attend your own funeral, you would never forget it for the rest of your life," Wodi patted the cat's head and said depressedly, "Li Hua really knows how to choose a place. He can find the center of the Hell Gate Sealing Array just by looking around."
He was now standing at the foot of the mountain next to the town, and could still see the huge cat stone tablet not far away - the Twenty-Eight Mansions' external statement was that Wodi the cat heroically prevented the chemical components of the chemical plant from pouring into the water source and saved the entire Sufang City's residents.
He sighed, out of sight out of mind, turned around and pointed his cat's butt at the stone tablet, went into the mountains and forests, made many turns, and circled the town several times. Finally, he returned to the place where the cat stone tablet was. Seeing that the position of this place was almost the same as the red dot on the map, he was speechless for a moment.
[…Since this is a formation set up by the Cat God, it seems that there is no problem in finding a place with cats to hide the eye of the formation.]
"But I crawled into my own tombstone. This kind of thing is really weird no matter how you think about it." Wodi grimaced in disgust, but his body was very honest. He jumped up and jumped towards the tombstone. The moment he touched the tombstone, his body was not hindered by anything. He only felt a flash before his eyes, and then he fell into a room full of sunlight.
There is only one room in this house. The floor is covered with soft blankets of various colors. In the corner are countless sundries, such as fishing rods, bouncy balls and even stuffed mouse toys. In the other side are several obscure ancient books. Judging from their newness, perhaps the Cat God has not even flipped through them once in the past thousand years.
[See that ball?]
Cat Toy pointed happily at the pile of junk.
[That's my real body! Isn't it so cute!]
Woody: “…”
It's really hard to praise a ball as cute, so he said with difficulty: "It's quite round."
Listening to Cat Toy's enthusiastic introduction, he took out the dried fish that Cat God had treasured under the carpet, and at Cat Toy's urging, he ate a piece hesitantly while thinking about the shelf life. He found the taste quite good, so he took out another piece and took two bites, then walked to the innermost part of the room to check the damage to the array eye.
He suddenly stiffened.
"Cat Toy," said Wodi in a trembling voice, "If I eat one and a half of the last two soul fragments...will I become a god immediately?"
He was holding a half-eaten dried fish, with starlight still on the corners of his mouth. He watched in horror as the dried fish transformed into a metallic soul fragment.
[Why is the soul fragment here? !]
Cat Toy nearly flew up into the air, screamed for a moment, choked, and suddenly realized what he had overlooked.
[One of the instincts of the fragments of the godhead is to restore itself to a complete individual... The rest of the cat god fragments are all with you. These two fragments have only come to me now. It is probably because you divided the other fragments into vests, and they are trapped in the eye of the formation and can't get out... Oh, how could I forget such a thing! ]
“…”
How could I forget such an important thing?
Resisting the urge to pull out the cat toy and beat it up, Wodi made a prompt decision. He separated a part of his mental power and integrated it into the half of the soul fragment he had not eaten yet. He also poured the divine power that had not yet been converted in his body into it all at once, and he created a cat vest with half of it belonging to him and the other half belonging to the independent cat god.
The remaining half of the soul fragment was still struggling to merge with Wodi, but was trapped in the body of the new vest by mental power. After struggling for a long time, it failed to escape, and finally gave up and lay motionless.
Woody wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, looked at the Maine Coon cat in front of him that was more than a size bigger than himself, and covered his head with his hands while letting out a "meow" in pain.
The Maine Coon meowed in imitation of the other, and rubbed the leopard cat's head fur with a smile.
The author has something to say:
Maine Coon, a super domineering but surprisingly docile aristocratic cat.
Yun Jian, who almost became a god, said he was frightened.
Satan: If you don’t want the godhood, then give it to me!!! I want it!!!
