Seeing Seraphim stop, Lucifer breathed a sigh of relief, a triumphant smile appearing on his face. He continued, "Actually, Elinfell's situation in the abyss isn't as bad as the outside world imagines."
Because she entered the abyss through special means rather than being imprisoned, she actually had a certain degree of freedom in that chaotic land.
Using her wisdom and strength, she established a small territory in the abyss, not only protecting a group of souls who had also strayed into or been exiled, but also gradually exploring the secrets of the abyss in an attempt to find a way back.
"However, that was a thousand years ago. I found out that information when I went down into the abyss, but I didn't pay attention to it afterward. After all, without my key, you can't get out of the abyss."
Chen Ping asked in confusion, "No, what are you doing entering the abyss?"
Lucifer: "Let me continue."
“However,” Lucifer changed the subject, “we cannot ignore the characteristics of the Abyss. It is a world that is constantly devouring, corrupting, and mutating. Even Elinfell may face unknown dangers if she is in that environment for a long time.”
Gabriel said with some worry, "Big sister, if what you said is true, Lucifer, then she has been in the abyss for at least three thousand years. I wonder how she is now?"
We two younger sisters are really incompetent; how could we have been deceived by a fake existence for so long?
Upon hearing this, Lucifer patted Seraphim on the shoulder and said with a deep gaze, "If she is really in danger, based on my understanding of Elinfell, she will find a way out. After all, she has always been someone who doesn't play by the rules."
“Furthermore,” Lucifer continued, “the abyss, though treacherous, also holds boundless knowledge and power. For those who dare to explore its depths, it is both a great threat and a potential treasure.”
Given Ailingfei's habits, she must have already begun exploring, right? Perhaps she's already prepared, or even seeking some kind of power or knowledge beyond her current understanding.
“Speaking of which,” Lucifer’s eyes flashed with a profound meaning, “we might consider this from another perspective. The abyss may be a prison, but for some beings, it is also a testing ground.”
The years Eileen spent in that environment were perhaps the process of her growth and transformation. Just as a phoenix rises from the ashes, the harshest environments often breed the most extraordinary strength.
Gabriel nodded thoughtfully. "You mean, Big Sister... might have become more powerful than we thought?"
“That’s right,” Lucifer affirmed.
"Time has a different meaning in the abyss. There, every moment can be eternity, and every challenge can lead to a leap forward. I don't know her exact state now, but I believe she won't just sit and wait to die."
"So, what should we do? Should you just open the gate to the abyss and then we go in to find Big Sister?" Serafin asked the crucial question.
Upon hearing this, Lucifer shook his head and then nodded, saying, "Entering is necessary, but not now. As the guardian of the abyss, I can open the abyss entrance at any time, but I can only pass through the abyss at a specific time."
As the guardian of the abyss, I possess the power to manipulate its forces. Therefore, I cannot allow you to enter before I myself can, as it is far too dangerous.
"Right now, all we can do is make some preparations, since it's your first time entering the abyss and you're most vulnerable to influence."
"Then how should we prepare?" Gabriel asked eagerly, her eyes revealing deep worry and longing for her eldest sister.
“First, we need to gather more information about the Abyss, especially the changes over the last thousand years.” Lucifer’s tone became serious. “The Abyss is ever-changing, with each layer having its own unique rules and creatures. We must ensure that we understand everything we might encounter before we take action.”
Chen Ping stroked his chin and said, "But very few people should know about the Abyss, right? So, doesn't this mean we have to go down and investigate? What's the difference between that and just going in directly?"
Upon hearing this, Lucifer was stunned. Oh, right, it seems there's no difference. He guards the entrance to the abyss, which is located in his hell palace. Who can enter?
Chen Ping suddenly asked, "By the way, Lucifer, do you know about the Abyss Sea in the advanced sea areas? Is it related to the Abyss?"
Upon hearing this, Lucifer nodded and said, "I know that. It's due to the abyss energy. There's an abyss rift in the advanced sea area, and the abyss energy leaks out from the rift."
Later, it evolved into the Abyss Sea.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping pondered for a moment and said, "Then tell me, if you can find Abyss Artifacts in the Abyss Shells, and use them to deal with creatures in the Abyss Sea with special attack effects, do you think they would be effective against beings in the Abyss?"
Upon hearing this, Lucifer said with some surprise, "There are such things as Abyss Artifacts? Hmm, I'm not really aware of that, since I haven't paid any attention to it."
"However, the Abyss Artifact does sound tempting. But if, as you say, its power comes from the Abyss itself, then using it to fight against the creatures and environment of the Abyss might have unexpected effects."
After a moment of contemplation, Lucifer said, "However, information in this area is extremely scarce, and we need to conduct further investigations."
Chen Ping: "Then we can only search in the high-level sea areas, since only the high-level sea areas have the abyss sea area."
Lucifer nodded and said, "That's fine too. The Abyss is no joke. Besides, we've already gone on for so long, a little more time won't make a difference. The more time we have, the safer we'll be."
"Furthermore, regarding the Abyss Sea, although it has countless connections to the Abyss, it is not a wise move to directly confront the creatures of the Abyss Sea to test the effectiveness of the Abyss artifacts," Lucifer added.
"It would be best to take the Abyss artifact to the Abyss and test it out after obtaining it, just to be on the safe side."
Chen Ping raised an eyebrow and smiled, "That's quite a coincidence. I actually have some Abyss Artifacts here. I found them in the Abyss Shells when we were in the advanced sea area."
"Moreover, there are quite a lot of styles, from weapons to armor, jewelry and so on."
Upon hearing this, Lucifer said with some curiosity, "Oh, that saves a lot of trouble. Chen Ping, bring some out and let me see."
Chen Ping: "Okay, wait a moment, I'll go to the warehouse and get one."
After saying that, Chen Ping got up, opened the portal and went inside. A few minutes later, Chen Ping returned to the villa with some Abyss Artifacts.
