When You You arrived at the Underworld Palace, the King of the Underworld and his messenger were engrossed in sorting through a pile of information on the spirits of the dead. The King of the Underworld was even grabbing his messy hair, pulling out strands every now and then. When he looked up and saw the group, his legs went weak and he almost slipped off his chair.
"Lord of the Realm... Lord of the Realm! What brings you here?" Hades gave her a bitter smile that seemed to say he had no will to live or die, and then burst into tears, "You don't have anything else to tell me, do you? I've already exhausted myself cleaning up all the records of the spirits over the years, and I really can't do any more than that!" I really can't work overtime anymore.
"..." Youyou's lips twitched. How much do you not want to go to work? Besides, the overtime you're working today is all because of your past laziness.
"I didn't come here to ask you to work overtime." You You was speechless, resisting the urge to roll her eyes, and recounted the story of the Demon Realm Dragon Clan.
"The ghosts of the dragon race?" Hades was taken aback, and immediately looked down to search. "Wait a minute, let me look."
He searched through the pile of documents on the desk for a long time, but couldn't find the relevant information. So he gave up and said, "Never mind, let's look at the Retrospective Mirror first." With that, he waved his hand, and a huge water mirror appeared in front of them.
Hades made a hand seal and pointed towards the water mirror. The water mirror shook, and then...
There's nothing there!
The entire water mirror couldn't even reflect half an image of the dragons in their previous lives, let alone show any scenes of them.
"Huh? How could this be?" Not only Youyou, but even Hades himself was startled. He quickly made several more hand seals, but to no avail. The water mirror still didn't react. "Strange, why isn't it reacting?"
The underworld messenger beside him seemed to remember something. He raised his hand and summoned a small booklet, flipping through it rapidly. After a while, he reminded him, "My lord, it seems that the dragon clan's spirits haven't entered the underworld for many years."
"How is this possible?!" Hades exclaimed in shock. "Not a single one?"
"Since the dragons fell into demonic possession, the underworld has indeed not received a single dragon spirit," the underworld envoy said, nodding affirmatively as he looked at the booklet in his hand.
His expression changed, and he immediately switched to another spell, attempting to sense the remnant soul of the dragon, but still received no response. Hades was dumbfounded, "How...how could there be no response?"
Feng Rong and Yuan Qi were also shocked. Logically speaking, no matter how tragically the other party died, there should still be a trace of their soul remaining. They might not be able to sense it, but the King of the Underworld should be able to sense it. Unless... the other party has completely vanished from this world.
But putting aside the other dragons, Long Ting and Long Zhen, those two bone dragons, only died recently, so it's impossible that they don't exist.
Youyou frowned, feeling that something was wrong with this matter, but she couldn't figure out the key point. Now, she couldn't find any clues with Hades, and those bone dragons had disappeared. It seemed that the reason why they turned into bone dragons would be difficult to find out.
As she was thinking about whether there were any other solutions, she suddenly felt a jolt in her heart and a strange sensation came over her. She subconsciously looked up.
"Xiaoyou, what's wrong?" Yuan Qi asked, noticing her unusual expression.
"I don't know." Youyou was stunned. "It seems like... something just happened."
The others looked over, about to ask, when the communication talisman beside You You lit up. She quickly picked it up and activated it, and Ling Qi's anxious voice echoed in her ears, "Sect Master, the Heavenly Light! The Heavenly Light above the True Path Sect has suddenly appeared, just like the one in the Demon Realm."
"What!" The three of them were all shocked. You You was anxious and quickly turned to look at Hades and said, "Ning Hui, you continue to investigate the matter of those dragon souls. We'll go back to the sect first."
"Yes, Lord of the Realm." Hades nodded immediately.
The three of them flashed and returned to the True Evolution Sect in the next moment. Almost instantly upon their return, they saw the dazzling light emanating from the sect. Looking up, they indeed saw an unusual ray of light in the sky. The light was extremely large, even more so than the one they had seen in the Demon Realm. It curved and twisted in the sky, like a celestial river hanging upside down.
"Sect Master!" Ling Qi quickly stepped forward and explained, "This light suddenly appeared in the sky just now. I have already sent disciples to check the source of the light, and we found that this light seems to be... spreading from the Demon Realm."
"What?!" You You exclaimed in surprise. "Isn't the demon realm sealed? Why can this light get here?"
"I don't know either..." Ling Qi shook his head and said, "But I report that the seal of the demon realm seems unable to block this heavenly light, and the heavenly light has not affected the seal." The demon realm is still sealed.
Youyou was even more confused. What exactly were these lights?
"Huh!?" Feng Rong suddenly stepped forward, looking up at the sky as she said, "Is there something in that light?"
You You and Yuan Qi were both taken aback. Upon closer inspection, they saw that there seemed to be some shadow passing through the sunlight.
"Let's go take a look!" The three of them immediately took to the air and headed towards the sky. As they got closer, the lights above became even brighter, almost blinding them.
Youyou tried to extend her divine sense and probe into the depths of the light, but she couldn't sense anything at all. Yet, when she opened her eyes, she could see faint shadows flashing by, indistinguishable from anything except for their varying sizes and shapes. She wanted to look again, but a familiar feeling washed over her.
"Huh? This is..." Tianqi and Fengrong looked surprised, clearly they had sensed it too.
“It’s the aura of those cracks from before!” Youyou said. The cracks were hidden in the sunlight, but there seemed to be something inside them. Youyou suddenly had a feeling that if he could figure out what was inside, he could completely solve these cracks.
“I have to go in and take a look!” she said directly.
"Xiao You!"
"no!"
Feng Rong and Yuan Qi both voiced their objections at the same time, saying, "This crack is dangerous and unknown; you cannot take the risk."
“I don’t think there’s any danger inside,” You You said. It wasn’t that she was overconfident, but she just had this feeling that there was no danger inside for her. “You should trust me.”
Feng Rong and Yuan Qi exchanged a glance. Although they were still worried, the power of the Realm Lord was beyond their understanding. Perhaps there was some special reason behind it, and in the end, they did not object. They simply asked to go in with her.
Youyou agreed and sent a message to Ling Qi below, instructing him to guard the light of the sky and prevent anyone from getting close. Only then did the three of them fly up and head into the crack deep within the light of the sky.
Father Yuan had also set up a defensive array around the three of them beforehand, just in case something unexpected happened inside the crack. Miraculously, they encountered no obstacles and entered the crack smoothly.
Large streaks of light flashed by, and the scenery changed in an instant. All the light disappeared, and the ground beneath my feet was solid. A large, lush green forest appeared in front of me.
All three were stunned. They hadn't expected that there was another world hidden within the crack, and that the area was so vast that the end couldn't be seen at a glance.
What is this place?
