Mo Chendong looked around and realized that there was really no other way out except through this gate!
Left with no other choice, she cautiously asked Gu Liyan, "Lord White Emperor, shall we not go in?"
Gu Liyan rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Are you stupid? How are we supposed to find our way back if we don't go in?"
"Oh, that's true!" Mo Chen said with an awkward smile. "You're so much more decisive, sir!"
"Where is your own opinion? It's clearly a lack of options!" Gu Liyan sighed and said.
“That’s true!” Mo Chen chuckled.
Seeing Mo Chen's blank expression, Gu Liyan sighed inwardly, "I never thought that the usually brilliant Mo Chen would be so silly!"
Without further ado, Gu Liyan and his companion passed through the gates of the Nine Netherworld. A faint blue light lingered in the darkness before them, creating an eerie atmosphere. They could see people moving about, each wearing a bizarre mask, walking like zombies.
When Mo Chen saw this group of people, he suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, that's right!"
Gu Liyan was startled and quickly pulled him to a corner. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she said irritably, "What are you doing shouting like that?"
"Um, sir, I just wanted to remind you that you need to wear a mask when you come to the Nine Netherworlds." Mo Chen said, producing a helmet from who-knows-where.
Looking at the heavy helmet, Gu Liyan said with a look of disgust, "You're wearing a helmet from our demon race, doesn't that reveal your identity?"
Mo Chen scratched his head awkwardly. "Oh, right! I forgot."
"Use this." Gu Liyan flipped her hand and took out a mask, handing it to Mo Chen.
Mo Chen's eyes widened as he received the mask from Gu Liyan. His hands trembled as he accepted the mask, and he said excitedly, "This subordinate thanks Your Majesty the White Emperor for this gift!"
Looking at Mo Chen's silly and naive appearance, Gu Liyan really wondered if this Mo Chen was the same person she knew...
"How stupid!"
Qianjue Mountain——
Achoo!
Mo Chen rubbed his nose and said with certainty, "It must be that guy Gu Liyan talking bad about me behind my back! We're in the same world, yet I haven't been able to find a trace of him. I even gave him a little clue, and he really didn't come looking for me!"
It turns out that the aura that Gu Liyan sensed in Qianjue Mountain really did come from Mo Chen himself.
"Well, thankfully I didn't run into him, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain it to him..." Mo Chen sighed, looked at the Samsara Compass in his hand, and muttered to himself.
Just then, footsteps sounded behind him, and Mo Chen hurriedly put on his mask.
Gu Changyuan approached from behind, knelt on one knee, bowed his head, and said respectfully, "Strategist, the demon soldiers are ready to descend upon the world."
Mo Chen turned around and saw Gu Changyuan kneeling on the ground. He was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt down. However, when he thought that Gu Changyuan was not the same age as the Realm Lord Mo Han he knew, he breathed a sigh of relief, cleared his throat and said with a serious expression, "Ahem, you did very well. Pass on the word that we will attack Thousand Absolute Mountain tomorrow."
"Yes!" Gu Changyuan replied. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and asked cautiously, "Then, strategist, could I... not show up tomorrow?"
Mo Chen glanced at Gu Changyuan, knowing what he was worried about, and nodded, saying, "Okay."
"Thank you, strategist. I'll take my leave now..."
Just as Gu Changyuan was about to leave, Mo Chen stopped him and said, "Wait a minute. Before you leave, go find your past life and warn him not to come back! Even if he does come back, he'll only be a traitor, and that will only make things worse for everyone!"
"Yes!" Gu Changyuan nodded hurriedly.
Mo Chen looked at Gu Changyuan, took a deep breath, and said with a solemn expression, "Gu Changyuan, your fate has now changed, and you can have your wish! Your cooperation with us ends here."
A smile flashed in Gu Changyuan's eyes, and he said happily, "Yes! Thank you, strategist!"
After saying that, Gu Changyuan left with a happy expression.
After Gu Changyuan left, Mo Chen took off his mask and muttered to himself, "I really didn't expect that the annihilation of the Thousand Absolute Mountain clan was actually at my behest... If Gu Liyan finds out about this, she'll definitely fight me to the death!"
Mo Chen sighed repeatedly, glancing down at the Reincarnation Compass and frowning deeply. "What exactly is the purpose of this mysterious person forcing me to do this? And what is the meaning of setting up this Reincarnation Compass at this time?"
The compass of reincarnation lay quietly in the palm of the hand, a calm before the storm.
—On the other side, Gu Liyan and another Mo Chen wandered around the Nine Netherworld countless times, increasingly feeling that the Nine Netherworld was like a circular loop from which they could not escape.
Mo Chen looked around at the familiar surroundings, tugged at Gu Liyan's sleeve, and said in a panicked tone, "Lord White Emperor, this is too strange. We...we seem to have returned to where we started..."
Gu Liyan frowned, pulled back the corner of his clothes, and said impatiently, "Don't scare yourself. It's just an illusion. I've studied this!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Chen's hope was immediately rekindled. "So what should we do next?"
Gu Liyan looked around, completely at a loss. There didn't seem to be any kind of formation here, so he really didn't know where to start.
Just then, he noticed that many people were walking towards a small alley, going in but not coming out.
Gu Liyan thought for a moment and walked towards the alley. "Let's go, let's take a look there."
The two turned into the alley and walked for a while, only to find that the road ahead was blocked by a wall, clearly turning into a dead end!
"My lord, this..." Mo Chen pointed to the road ahead with some doubt.
