"Messenger of the Underworld," You You said immediately, thinking of the seal. "The seal on the Demon Realm is about to break down. We must awaken the King of the Underworld and find out how to reseal it."
"That's why I came here." The Underworld Envoy replied weakly, as if he had given up on treatment. He no longer maintained his unfathomable image and plopped down on a nearby rock. "My lord has severed the connection with the Book of the Dead. Now, even if you slap the Book of the Dead on his face, he won't wake up."
"..." Do you really not want to go to work that much?
"However, before my lord fell into slumber, he did leave a message for Your Majesty." The Underworld Envoy looked exhausted, leaning against a rock as he spoke, "Is this what I came for?"
"A message? What message?" You You was stunned. Back then, after Hades threw her away with the thunder of the Demon God, he disappeared without looking back. After that, she turned back into the honest Ning Hui and knew nothing about Hades. She never expected that he could leave behind any message.
"Our lord foresaw long ago that the seal on Mount Tiansheng was about to break, and he also knew you would seek him out," the Underworld Envoy replied. "Therefore, he asked me to convey a message to His Majesty..."
"What did you say?"
"I'm out of options! Get lost!"
Youyou: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Okay, that's definitely something Hades would say.
"My lord says that the seal was placed by Xuanling and has nothing to do with him. Whoever placed the seal, His Majesty should find them," the Underworld Envoy continued.
Youyou's eyes lit up as she realized something. "He means... Xuanling is still alive?!" Otherwise, why would he ask her to go find him?
"I don't know, my lord didn't say." The Underworld Messenger turned his head, his face even more miserable. He was just an emotionless worker and messenger.
Everyone's faces lit up with joy. If the Sage Xuanling really still existed, then as long as they found her, they could set up as many seals as they wanted.
But here's the problem... where are they going to find someone?
"Alright, I've delivered the message." The Underworld Envoy slowly stood up, let out a long sigh, and glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally. "There are still countless remnant souls waiting for me to collect, so I won't disturb Your Excellency any longer." He then made a move to leave.
"Wait!" You You paused for a moment, then quickly stopped the person. "Envoy of the Underworld, do you know where Xuan Ling is?!"
"Your Excellency is joking." The Underworld Envoy gave his usual sinister and stiff smile. "I am but a mere Underworld Envoy, with a stingy boss and meager wages. I have no holidays, no helpers, and no way out except to collect remnant souls every day. I finally managed to cultivate a few clones, but they were all taken back. I work diligently and tirelessly, and every day is just overtime, overtime, overtime, and overtime... How could I possibly know any of this?"
Youyou: "..."
Feng Rong: "..."
Yuan Qi: "..."
Everyone: "..."
You obviously knew that, didn't you? And how much resentment do you have about your job? Aren't you afraid that Pluto will come after you if he finds out?
You You's lips twitched, and then he changed his words, "The time for my next disciple training is coming soon, so I've arranged for them to deal with ghost-related matters first."
"Hehehe, Your Excellency, what are you saying..." A glint flashed in the eyes of the Underworld Envoy, but he quickly recovered and said with a firm expression, "How could I trouble Your Excellency with the affairs of my Underworld? Although I almost died again this time, I can still persevere. I can recover my clones after some repairs. Anyway, Your Excellency doesn't have many disciples in total, so how could I let them worry?"
"..." You just think there aren't enough people, don't you! "I'll have Feng Qing arrange for a few Phoenix Clan members to go out and help too." Is that alright now?!
His eyes lit up instantly, like searchlights. "Oh dear, how could I possibly accept the Phoenix Clan God's help?"
"Including the disciples from various sects, I will send a message to the celestial maidens of each sect, instructing them to help out during their training." It's just an instruction to the disciples of each sect to help deliver any remnant souls they encounter; everyone should give her that favor.
"Deal!" The Underworld Envoy's expression turned serious, his previous dejection vanished, and he instantly transformed back into the elite Underworld figure. "Your Excellency is indeed an upright, kind, and considerate ruler!"
This guy was faking it from the start, right? Absolutely!
"Alright, alright, quickly tell me where the Sage Xuanling is!" she asked urgently.
"I don't know!" the Underworld Messenger blurted out.
"..." You don't know?! Are you kidding me?! You must have a death wish!
“But I know where the saint went in the end!” Seeing that she was about to explode, the Underworld Envoy immediately added, “I once heard the King of the Underworld mention that after the saint was reborn and sealed the Demon Realm, the God Realm was also reshaped. Since then, immortals can cultivate gods.”
"So..." Youyou was taken aback, "You mean to say that the saints eventually went to the realm of gods?"
"Hmm." The Underworld Messenger nodded.
“That’s impossible!” Yu Hao suddenly interjected. “I’ve been in the God Realm for so long, and I’ve only ever heard of legends about sages. I’ve never heard of sages actually living in the God Realm!”
"Before my lord fell into slumber, I accompanied him to investigate the Yellow Springs Reincarnation Path in the God Realm, and indeed, I discovered the aura of a sage there. My lord searched for him at the time, but found no trace of the sage," the Underworld Envoy casually explained. "That's all I know. Whether you believe it or not is up to you."
Youyou thought about it carefully. Hades had sensed it before he fell asleep, which meant that some time had passed since the cataclysmic event, and the sage might really be in the realm of gods.
“Oh, right!” The Underworld Messenger seemed to remember something and suddenly said, “Back then, my lord asked me to temporarily take charge of the Underworld. I was afraid of making mistakes, so I drew a map of the God Realm, on which I specifically marked the places where the aura of saints appeared.”
