For a moment, Wei Dongliu even had the urge to burst into tears as if he had "found the organization".

But he quickly suppressed his thoughts.

Years of lurking had made Wei Dongliu's heart as cold as steel. He no longer trusted anyone easily, so he just pretended to know nothing and asked in a deep voice:

"The end of the world? Is this some kind of ridiculous worry?"

There was silence in the hall.

One of the black mist figures suddenly asked:

"I wonder how much Number Nine knows about Nuwa mending the sky in the past?"

Wei Dongliu said in a deep voice:

"I heard that in the ancient witch clan, there was a great battle between Zhurong and Gonggong. Gonggong angrily struck Mount Buzhou, causing the sky to shatter."

"Water from the celestial river gushed out from the breach. Later, Nuwa took five-colored stones and refined them to repair the sky, which calmed the flood disaster on earth."

“Number Nine, you only know one side of the story.” The black mist said with a smile, “The sky is shattered, but it’s not just the water from the sky river that is leaking into the mortal world.”

"The Milky Way flows around the sky, separating the human world from the outer world. The sky was shattered, and the Milky Way flowed away, creating a passable gap between the two barriers."

"Demon?" Wei Dongliu immediately remembered after the other party reminded him.

Apart from the floods caused by the leakage of water from the Milky Way, he had also read in some classics that "the demons were rampant" during that period, so much so that the "big hole thunder" that was a special attack against the demons was very popular among the thunder methods... It was able to force a large number of human cultivators to practice extremely dangerous thunder methods, which shows how great the threat of the demons to the human race was.

Since there is a hole in the sky, the demons from the world outside can naturally reach the human world unimpeded.

"In the sixth layer of the Outer World, he is the Demon King of the Heaven of Freedom. Before Nuwa repaired the sky, he led countless servants to attack the human world."

The black mist continued, "Later, the Demon King was defeated by Nuwa and fell in the human world. His servants also scattered throughout the human world. Only the Demon King's five hundred daughters escaped back to the heaven."

"Oh." Wei Dongliu's heart moved, and he felt that he seemed to have guessed the reason why the Bu Tian Stone had a shelf life.

"Since the demon king's body fell into the human world, we suspect that he has been trying to crack and attack the five-colored stone that fills the leak in the sky for hundreds of thousands of years."

"After Nuwa, the human race experienced the invasion of the Nine Netherworld and the war with the demon race, which resulted in the death of many powerful people. The power was greatly depleted, and no one was able to maintain the sky repairing place anymore."

"So what?" Wei Dongliu asked directly.

"It is said that Nuwa refined two pieces of sky-repairing stones in one furnace." Taoist Luo took over the conversation, "One piece has been used to repair the sky, and the other is kept as a backup."

"The spare Heaven-Repairing Stone later broke into countless pieces for some reason."

"In other words." Wei Dongliu thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "You want to collect all the fragments of the Heaven-Repairing Stone and repair the leak in the sky?"

The black fogs fell silent collectively.

After a moment, everyone burst into laughter:

"Hey, Nine! Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Even if it is a fragment, it is also a fragment of five-colored stone. It was refined by Nuwa herself and is also the highest level among the innate spiritual treasures. It has the ability to seal and suppress at the level of the Great Dao!"

"Now, these fragments are either in the hands of the orthodox sect's immortals, or are completely missing. Who dares to hope to collect them all? Unless the ancient great power is reborn!"

"Stop laughing." Taoist Luo said lightly, and the voices of the black fog stopped abruptly.

"It's true that we need to gather all the fragments of the Heaven-Repairing Stone. If we can really do that and repair the leak in the sky, the world will naturally no longer be in danger of collapse."

Not necessarily... Wei Dongliu thought to himself. According to them, if the sky is repaired again, it will only last for a hundred thousand years longer.

Unless we attack the demon's lair directly and solve the problem once and for all, wouldn't it be just treating the symptoms and not the root cause?

"It's just as everyone said, some of the fragments of the Heaven-Repairing Stone are in the hands of the orthodox sect immortals, and some are completely missing." Taoist Luo continued, "It is too difficult to collect all the fragments and save the human world."

"However, if we only get three fragments, it will be enough to seal the bottom layer of hell."

"Seal the bottom of hell?" Wei Dongliu asked in surprise, "It is the human world that was destroyed because of the heaven, what does this have to do with hell?"

"Number nine." Taoist Luo asked with a smile, "How do you feel about the environment of Avici Hell after your journey?"

Wei Dongliu was silent for a moment and replied:

“It’s extremely bad.”

"That's right." Taoist Luo continued, "This Avici Hell leads directly to the core of chaos. It is where the remaining chaos dregs accumulated after Pangu created the world and the pure and turbid air separated. Therefore, the various rules here are extremely chaotic."

"But if we can seal the passage with the Heaven-Repairing Stone, the Eighteen Hells will lose the influence of chaos and gradually restore order. Yin and Yang will return to balance, the Five Elements will be in harmony, and all things will flourish."

"If we get rid of the evil demons here, it will become a paradise for the human race. After the human world is destroyed, it will still be a place for our race to live and reproduce."

Wei Dongliu: ...

He originally thought that the Hell Realm was planning to "counter-explain and intercept", but he didn't expect that their plan was so far-reaching that they actually wanted to recreate a small human world!

That's right. If we continue to stay in the human world after the sky leaks, we will have to constantly deal with the invasion of the heavenly river, heavenly fire, and heavenly demons. If we are not careful, our sect will be destroyed at any time. How can it be more comfortable than hiding in the depths of hell?

“If we want to obtain the fragments of the Heaven-Repairing Stone, we must first let the human world enter a world of great strife.” Black Mist said in a deep voice, “Although the human world has been at peace for a long time, as long as we seize the first fragment of the Heaven-Repairing Stone, it will inevitably arouse the extreme vigilance of the other sects, and the difficulty of obtaining the second fragment will increase dramatically.”

Well said, Wei Dongliu nodded in agreement.

How could he not understand this? That is why I used the power of Kunlun Mirror to create five clones at the same time, in order to obtain all the fragments of the Heaven-Repairing Stone at the same time, leaving no time for the various factions to react.

"Therefore, only when the human race enters a period of great strife and the intensity of the confrontation and conflict between the various factions reaches its peak can we try to cover up the time when our plan is exposed." Another black mist continued, "At the same time, frequent wars can catalyze the upgrade of the average combat power of the human race."

"When the Dharma Ending Age comes, more people will be able to survive, rather than being eaten by the demons because of their weakness."

Wei Dongliu was speechless. So you guys are hiding here to incite war and even stir up a sense of justice, right?

"Indeed." He pretended to think seriously, then nodded in agreement and said, "Since you want to build a paradise for the human race in hell, as a member of the human race, it is my natural responsibility to do so."

"Very good." Taoist Luo listened to his lie, not knowing whether he really believed it or not, he just laughed, "In this case, you have officially joined our Hell!"

"Next, the sect will have a task for you."
