"We came in by discarding distracting thoughts and opening the door to the pure land of our souls. By the same token, perhaps we can get out by just closing that door."

Lin Qiye sat down cross-legged and said, "Anyway, let's give it a try."

The three of them closed their eyes and entered a state of meditation again, like three stone sculptures sitting in the same place, motionless.

As time passed, the brows of the three people slowly frowned.

Ten minutes later, Lin Qiye opened his eyes and found that An Qingyu and Jiang Er opposite him had stood up with grim expressions.

"You failed too?" Lin Qiye frowned.

"Yeah." An Qingyu nodded, "I clearly touched the door to leave, but I just couldn't push it."

"Me too." Jiang Er continued, "I was about to go out several times, but was blocked by that door. It felt like... like something was blocking our connection with the outside world."

"It seems that our situation is the same."

Lin Qiye stood up from the ground helplessly.

"Why didn't you feel this way when you came in?"

Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, "Maybe something happened when the two Supreme Gods were fighting, causing this place to be closed."

"What should we do? Will we be trapped here forever?" Jiang Er said worriedly.

"That's not the case." An Qingyu immediately shook his head. "It's not like the Seraph went to hunt down the Supreme God and he won't come back. If he finds out that we haven't returned to the ship, he will definitely return to heaven to look for us. Then we can get out."

"Then when will He come back?"

"It's hard to say. Maybe a few hours, maybe a day, maybe several days... After all, He said that He chased Lucifer for three days and three nights."

Hearing this, Jiang Er sighed helplessly.

“Maybe, passive waiting is not the only option for us.” Lin Qiye suddenly spoke.

An Qingyu and the other person turned to look at him at the same time.

"Since we can't leave the Kingdom of Heaven, perhaps we can try to leave by another route, just like the Supreme God entered the Kingdom of Heaven."

"You mean... Hell?" An Qingyu turned his head to look at the giant sword in the distance that was churning with crimson lava, frowned and thought for a moment, "Indeed, since the Supreme God can enter Hell from the outside world, it means that Hell should have an exit to the outside world. Conventional methods cannot leave Heaven, so this way should be possible."

"But that's hell. Is it really possible for us to just break in like this?" Jiang Er asked worriedly.

Lin Qiye and An Qingyu looked at each other, and after a moment, they shook their heads at the same time:

"Forget it. After all, Hell was once the kingdom of the evil god. Even if all the demons above the god level have been killed, there is no telling what will be left... The risk is too great. There is no need for us to take the risk."

After discussing for a while, the three of them sat down where they were, looked at the dim sunset in the distance, and sighed.

"I'm afraid that if we don't go back for so long, Brother Zha will be worried." Lin Qiye said with some concern.

"Speaking of which, it's a little strange that Brother Zhua didn't make it to heaven." An Qingyu pondered, "What on earth was he thinking about..."

Jiang Er glanced at them, hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "Didn't you notice that after returning from the Pamir Plateau, Brother Zha was a little depressed?"

Lin Qiye and An Qingyu looked at each other and asked, "Is there?"

Jiang Er: “…”

Lin Qiye nearly lost his life in the battle to defend the monument and was only rescued a few days ago. He had no idea about the team's situation after returning from the Pamir Plateau. After An Qingyu arrived in Heaven, he devoted himself to analyzing spiritual energy and did not pay attention to anything else. When they heard Jiang Er say this, they were both a little confused.

"There should be. Although I was not sure before, it seems that he does have some mental problems now." Jiang Er was silent for a moment and sighed helplessly, "Besides, I can probably understand where his mental problems come from."

"Where are you from?"

"you."

"We?" Lin Qiye was puzzled. "Why?"

"Because each of you is too abnormal." Jiang Er looked at the two and complained seriously, "A captain who is praised as a rare genius in the Night's Watch for a hundred years, a deputy captain who can analyze everything and use it for himself and has unlimited potential, a black king sealed in his body who is powerful enough to slaughter ordinary gods, Cao Yuan who is praised as below the gods and above all living things, and Sister Jia Lan who has fallen into a deep sleep but can become a god in one step when she wakes up...

Although no one knows what the Fat Forbidden Ruins is, it seems to have a great origin.

In fact, with my and my forbidden ruins, we are fully qualified to join the special team, but you guys are moving too fast... so fast that I feel that we will always be the last one in the team."

Jiang Er slowly lowered his head, his expression more depressed than ever before, "When we were on the Pamir Plateau before, my brother and I watched you charging into battle, and we felt very sad. Although we knew that we couldn't help much even if we rushed forward, it felt like we didn't even have the qualifications to stand by your side..."

"I'm relatively young, so it's understandable that I can't keep up with you guys, but Brother Zha has been with you all the way, and he has a somewhat arrogant personality. Now he can only watch the gap between us grow wider and wider, which will only make him feel more uncomfortable than me."

Hearing this, Lin Qiye and An Qingyu fell silent.

They have never thought about this issue.

In this team, what seems to be the most abundant is evildoers, whether it is Galan of mysterious origin, Lin Qiye who owns the Gods' Mental Hospital, or An Qingyu who can analyze the spiritual energy of heaven... In comparison, the dazzling brilliance of Shen Qingzhu and Jiang Er was completely overshadowed by them.

After Jiang Er pointed this out, Lin Qiye could imagine how tormented and self-blaming Shen Qingzhu must be right now, given Shen Qingzhu's personality.

Shen Qingzhu was not the kind of person who was willing to be the last one in the team, and it was even more impossible for him to ask the Great Xia God to accept him as an agent in order to pray for strength. The only thing he could do was to hide all the pain in his heart, silently stand at the end of the team and give for them, pretending that nothing had happened.

"It's my problem. As the captain, I should have noticed it earlier." Bitterness appeared in Lin Qiye's eyes.

An Qingyu recalled the scene in the Heaven Palace when Baili Pangpang and Shen Qingzhu went out alone, and said helplessly: "It seems that Pangpang noticed the abnormality of Zhua Ge before any of us... He is the one with the most delicate mind."

"When we get back to the boat, we'll have a good chat with Brother Zha." Lin Qiye said seriously, "We're all brothers, tell us what's going on and we'll solve it together."

"Um."

An Qingyu looked at the sunlight gradually sinking in the distance and nodded.
