"Hades..." Qin Xian stared at the little girl in the tree, his eyes wide with astonishment. "This is Hades???"
Su Muye blinked rapidly, "She's so pitiful..."
Judging from the crescent moon's reaction, it's undoubtedly true.
Su Deng never expected that Hades would be such a girl.
Previously, whenever Crescent Moon mentioned Hades, her face was filled with respect, admiration, and fervent love. She even wondered if Crescent Moon acted that way because she liked Hades...
Hades is a man.
But this scene shattered all her preconceived notions.
But even if she's a woman, Crescent Moon can still like her.
Su Deng blocked out her wandering thoughts and followed Crescent Moon forward.
But after taking only a few steps, Crescent Moon let out a scream and flew backward.
"ah!"
The enormous platform was shrouded in an invisible barrier.
Crescent Moon was caught off guard and was knocked away.
Su Deng swiftly dodged and caught her with one hand, preventing her from falling into the bottomless abyss on either side of the path pieced together from floating stones.
"Lord Hades!"
Crescent Moon rushed over again, lying outside the barrier and screaming heartbreakingly.
Ghosts don't shed tears, and even when Crescent Moon is overcome with grief and her eyes are red, she can't shed a single tear.
Her mournful echo reverberated throughout the entire space. Inside the barrier, the person pierced through and suspended in mid-air, chained to the tree, hung their head and remained completely unresponsive.
Su Deng stepped forward, patted Crescent Moon's shoulder, and asked softly, "Do you know how to open this barrier?"
The crescent moon shook its head.
She had never been here before and didn't know what this place was.
Meng Po told her about this location and how to activate it.
Su Deng thought for a moment, "Why don't you try using the Samsara Mirror?"
Crescent Moon calmed down and nodded.
But as soon as she took out the Mirror of Reincarnation, it slipped from her hand and flew backward.
At the same time, Qin Xian and Su Muye's voices came from behind.
"Su Deng, help me!"
"Mother!"
I don't know when, but there's someone here now.
He looked to be in his seventies or eighties, with short, pale hair plastered to his scalp.
He wore a black brocade robe, his face was covered in wrinkles, his eyes were small, and there was a black mole on the tip of his nose.
He rubbed his beard on his chin.
This look...
"Old ghost..."
The change in Crescent Moon's expression confirmed Su Deng's suspicions.
This old man is the Ghost King.
He used some kind of rope to tie Qin Xian and Su Muye together, and what he was holding in his hand was the Mirror of Reincarnation.
Crescent Moon gritted her teeth, formed hand seals, and charged forward, shouting, "Give me back my mirror!"
The Ghost King raised a finger and sent her flying. His narrow eyes were gloomy as he sneered, "I've spared your life all these years, but I never expected you'd actually form a rebel army and find the King of the Underworld."
Crescent Moon lay on the ground, snarling, "You old geezer, I knew it must have been you who imprisoned Hades!!"
"So what if I imprisoned her?" the Ghost King's voice was deep and resonant. "It's just about reforming the underworld. Look how well I'm doing now! In fact, I'm doing it even better than she did."
Crescent Moon gritted her teeth, "You shameless bastard!"
The Ghost King snorted coldly, "This throne of the Underworld King was originally mine."
More than two thousand years ago, the first Hades suddenly chose to disintegrate.
It cannot be without a master for even a day.
To prevent the underworld from descending into chaos, the underworld's high-ranking officials decided that the judges and the officials of the underworld would elect the next King of the Underworld.
He was the one chosen at the time.
But suddenly a little girl appeared, holding the succession book of the previous Hades.
"How many people do you think submit to her?" the Ghost King sneered in a sinister voice.
But she possesses the aura and supreme power of the previous Hades.
The Ghost King could only endure the humiliation.
It wasn't until hundreds of years ago that he finally set this trap and found an opportunity to lure Hades here and capture him.
He can't kill Hades, but he can imprison her here.
Until, the ghostly firefly tree in the underworld absorbed all her power.
"This is a place I specially built for Hades!"
The Ghost King's voice boomed, "She used to like her a lot."
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Crescent Moon was enraged and got up from the ground to hit him with all her might.
However, with only a few hundred years of cultivation, she was like an egg hitting a rock when facing a ghost king who had lived for thousands of years, and was knocked out again.
Su Deng caught her and said in a deep voice, "Calm down first."
"The King of the Underworld is so powerful that no one in the Underworld believes she was imprisoned by me, so I let you run wild. You see, I am the most suitable person to be the King of the Underworld!"
"Bullshit!" Crescent Moon stood up from Su Deng's arms, wishing she could tear him to pieces. "You're all traitors!"
"Haven't you heard the saying?" The Ghost King smiled faintly, "History is written by the victors; whoever loses is the traitor."
“You…” Crescent Moon’s face turned deathly pale.
"I've been searching for this mirror for so long, I never imagined it was hidden on you." The Ghost King played with the Samsara Mirror in his hand. "It's quite something that you only took it out now."
With this mirror, he can officially become Hades.
And no longer some kind of ghost king.
"Crescent Moon, don't be foolish."
He looked at the crescent moon and chuckled, "Do you really think those judges of the underworld never suspected that the King of the Underworld wasn't forced into seclusion, but rather imprisoned by me?"
"You don't need to tell them; they've had their suspicions, but guess why they haven't questioned me? They've even been incredibly respectful to me?"
"Because they also believe that I did a better job than Hades, they believe in me, and they originally chose me!"
"Isn't that a bit too absolute?"
Just as the Ghost King was holding the Mirror of Reincarnation and delivering a triumphant speech, a nonchalant female voice rang out.
