The girl looked up at the sky and took a deep, greedy breath. "He wanted to imprison me, but he also created a sun and stars for me..."
"A very warm sun..."
"The stars are so beautiful..."
Even if it was all an illusion, even if it didn't last long.
"Haven't you all been curious about where I came from...?"
The girl lightly touched the ground with her toes, stepped into the void and walked to the sky. Her simple skirt was cool and ethereal, and her voice was distant and clear.
"I was created by the previous Hades."
Yao Zhi and the others all looked astonished.
Only Meng Po was not surprised and continued drinking her jar of wine.
"It's too cold here, so dark and cold, with no light of day. As the King of the Underworld, I will be eternally trapped here, unable to feel the passage of time, unable to feel life and death..."

Because there will never be a sun or stars in the underworld.
No matter how much reform is carried out, it cannot escape the boundless coldness and darkness that belong only to the underworld.
That was a world she had never seen or experienced before.
"I made a deal with the Ghost King. He brought me here and gave me a sun. It was a warmth I had never experienced before, a warmth that I could not describe..."
