The Other World
"How should I go to see her?" Solaya stood once again in the pure white world within the black pillar. Here, there was still only her and the greedy blood eye. Her state of mind was different from before. The last time she came here, she was filled with unease and the shock and joy of finally receiving news of her mother. Now, Solaya only felt exhausted.
Greedy Blood Eye did not answer Soraya's question immediately. When it entered the pure white world, it turned into a large eyeball, and its red pupils shrank, as if it was communicating with someone.
Then the entire ruins of Dream Source began to tremble, a sign of the wrath of its former owner.
A red thread lashed out from the depths of the pure white world toward the greedy Blood Eye. Soraya was much faster than the red thread, blocking the way for the greedy Blood Eye before it arrived. As she expected, the red thread abruptly stopped in front of her and reluctantly retreated.
Greedy Blood Eye knew that this was because Chrona was angry and embarrassed and stopped Him from helping Solaya to see Him. Greedy Blood Eye also knew that as long as Solaya stood next to Him, Chrona could not hurt Him.
Therefore, to ensure his absolute safety, Greedy Blood Eye stood on Soraya's shoulder.
"He won't let me see Him, right?" Sorea glanced at the greedy blood-red eye on her shoulder, which was struggling to keep its eyeball upright, and asked without stopping her.
Greedy Blood Eyes struggled to maintain his balance and said, "Oh dear, your mother is just saying one thing and meaning another; she really wants to see you!"
Before He finished speaking, the pure white world trembled for another second.
"Oh."
Sorea didn't believe His words at all.
"Enough of this nonsense. I brought you here because no one here will threaten your safety."
His greedy, bloodshot eyes widened, trying to make Sorea see the seriousness in them.
"Krona is in the Tomb of the Dead, which is in the Inner World. Only gods can enter the Inner World, and only the undead can enter the Tomb of the Dead. You have Krona's bloodline; I remember you can open the passage."
Sorea nodded, and the pure white world began to tremble again.
"Whether you want to see me or not, I will definitely come back to see you. Don't move, it makes me dizzy."
After Sorea spoke, the pure white world ceased to tremble.
From the greedy narration, Soraya knew that this was the fallen divine kingdom, located at the weakest point of the barrier between the inner world and the visible world. The last time she opened the passage, she almost exhausted herself because she needed to open the barrier between the inner and outer worlds. This was the easiest place for her to open the passage to the Tomb of the Dead.
"Okay, I understand." Sorea immediately prepared to open the passage after hearing this.
Greed immediately stopped her: "What do you know? I haven't finished!"
"Isn't this the weakest point of the barrier? I'll open a passage and go through."
"You should first transform yourself into a soul state." Greedy Blood Eye looked at Soraya speechlessly. Having spent so much time with Soraya, He had never seen her in such a hurry.
Sorea was naturally anxious. She had thought her mother's death was an accident, but she never expected it to be related to her father. Her mother had actually knowingly and willingly fallen into depravity. She wanted to see her mother, who had just given birth to her two younger brothers, and ask her how she faced so many believers who thought she had willingly fallen into depravity and died!
There are two ways to become a soul. One is for Krona to personally extract Solaya's soul. As for the second way, Solaya laughed and directly took out a dagger with her left hand and held it to her own neck. The sharp dagger left a bloody mark on her neck.
The red thread of fate that had just disappeared reappeared, rushing towards Sorea at top speed in an attempt to knock the dagger off her neck.
Soraya dodged Red Thread's movements, and Red Thread, fearing that Soraya's attempt to avoid it would worsen her wounds, dared not move further. Thus, the two of them faced off.
"Either you extract my soul and let me go to the grave of the dead, or I will commit suicide. When a person dies, their soul will naturally go to the grave of the dead."
After a standoff, Sorea increased her strength, deepening the wound on her neck.
Greedy Blood Eye was also shocked by Soraya's sudden shamelessness. Although Soraya's move was to force Chrona, it was undeniable that Chrona was indeed afraid of her.
No mother who loves her child deeply can stand by and watch her child get hurt.
Krona compromised, understanding that the Greedy Blood Eye, who had sent Solaya to the Tomb of the Dead, was definitely up to no good, even if it hadn't attacked Solaya along the way.
Sorea also felt her body become lighter, floating out of her body. Then she saw her body falling down. The moment she fell, the red thread of fate was slapped open by the dagger, and her body was completely wrapped up by the red thread.
Now that things had come to this, Corona saw that Sorea was determined to see her, even at the cost of hurting herself, in order to personally discipline this disobedient child!
The passage to the Tomb of the Dead in front of Solaya was opened by Krona herself. After the passage appeared, Solaya floated into it without hesitation, with Greedy Blood Eye following closely behind.
The passage should have been bitterly cold, but Sorea felt no cold at all thanks to the protection of Chrona's divine power. However, the Greedy Blood Eye next to her was in a much worse state. Chrona was already angry, and all the cold air in the passage gathered on the Greedy Blood Eye.
Knowing her daughter was about to arrive, Krona stood at the gate to wait for Soleria. To welcome her child, she caused all the only white, nameless flowers in the entire Tomb of the Dead to bloom.
When He sensed someone emerging from the passage, He immediately greeted them with a smile. However, upon seeing what was inside the passage, the smile on Krona's face instantly froze.
What was transmitted through the channel was not Soraya's soul, but the wings of the Greedy Blood Eye's true form.
Krona's rage instantly swept across the entire underworld. Her spiritual power swept over every piece of land in the underworld inch by inch. She could not believe that her child had been switched with someone while she was enveloped by her divine power!
"Greed, don't let me catch you!!" Chrona tore the wings in front of her to shreds. She had been careless; she had forgotten that Greed possessed the power of illusion.
"Your Majesty, please withdraw your spiritual power. If an evil god discovers that Your Highness has come to the Inner World because of your spiritual power, then we are doomed!" Seeing that Chrona had completely lost her mind, Her servant knelt down and pleaded.
If Soraya were here, she would discover that this servant was one of Chrona's former followers, who was resurrected in the Tomb of the Dead.
Although Krona, who had fallen into the form of an evil god, never harmed anyone, she became easily angered. It was because she saw the injured Soraya and lost her composure that someone was able to take Soraya away.
The moment she was separated from her mother's divine power, Soraya realized something was wrong. Her body, which had been sealed by the divine power of the Greedy Blood Eye, was being dragged away by the wingless Greedy Blood Eye to a certain location.
Before anyone knew, the power of the Greedy Blood Eye had recovered so much. So, the backlash from the world's consciousness that He had suffered before was also a lie, Sorea thought before falling into a coma.
After an unknown amount of time, Sorea suddenly opened her eyes. Beside her sat a humanoid figure with greedy, blood-eyed eyes.
Sorea knew that it was all the work of the greedy Blood Eye, and the first thing she did after waking up was to run away while He was still asleep.
"I advise you not to run away."
Greed's voice came from behind Solaya. Solaya did not believe Greed's words and continued forward. After passing a certain place, she felt her body becoming weak.
After becoming a soul, Soraya didn't even have the strength of a demigod. Now that she has arrived in the Otherworld, she finds that she can't even draw the simplest inscription totems.
"I told you not to wander around. In the Inner World, without the protection of divine power, you're doomed. Besides, you're still in a soul state and don't even have divine blood." Greedy Blood Eye appeared behind Soraya and spoke casually.
"Apart from divine power, no other power can be used here," the Greedy Blood Eye warned, watching Soraya's attempt to draw inscriptions.
From this moment on, the identities of Greedy Blood Eye and Soraya will be switched. Previously, Soraya restrained Him, but now Soraya has no choice but to follow Greedy Blood Eye.
"What exactly do you want? You're the one who sent me to see my mother, and you're the one who kidnapped me." Sorea tried to calm herself down with her questioning.
Greedy Blood Eyes' blood-red eyes darted around, revealing its sharp fangs as it sneered, "I only ask that you come with me. After it's done, I will personally apologize to Chrona."
Although it was called an invitation, Sorea had no chance to object and could only follow behind the greedy Blood Eye.
Soraya has never entered the Inner World. Normal people would die instantly if they entered the Inner World, except for the Tomb of the Dead, which is the only special place in the Inner World that can accommodate non-gods. But Greedy Blood Eye used some method to allow Soraya to survive in the Inner World.
Knowing she couldn't escape the Greedy Blood Eye here, she simply walked around and admired the scenery of the inner world. Although all that remained were black stones and red soil stained with blood, Sorea still found it fascinating.
Sorea, who was initially intrigued, suddenly felt that she had seen this place before. She had never been to the Otherworld before, so why did it feel familiar?
A strange and eerie sense of familiarity made Solaya frown. She felt a panic in her heart, but she didn't know why.
As they approached the cave entrance, the greedy Blood Eyes stopped in their tracks.
Sorea felt several powerful forces watching her. Even though she was in a soul state, she felt her back was sweaty, a tremor from her very soul.
It wasn't just a shiver running through her soul; as Sorea looked into the pitch-black cave, she felt something within it drawing her in, and she sensed that once she stepped inside, many things would change.
"Don't worry, you just need to cooperate with us to do a small test."
The greedy, blood-eyed evil spirit thought that Soraya was frightened by the power of the unfamiliar evil god, and comforted her.
Sorea didn't find this comforting, but her desire for what was inside the cave grew stronger, and her curiosity about what was inside the cave overcame her fear.
"Hmph, when did you become so kind?" A hoarse male voice came from somewhere.
"Can you hurry up? I want to sleep." It was a woman's voice.
"So slow, so slow! Let me do it!"
As the loud, rapid sound ended, a force appeared behind Solaya, slamming her directly into the depths of the cave.
