Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Clearly speaking, the guests are outsiders...
When the sacred continent was first created, it was divided into three realms. The sea of stars blocked the heaven and the human world, and the mighty Styx separated the human world and hell.
In Heaven, the Supreme God of Light was born. He dispersed a portion of his divine power and created thousands of angels. The seven most powerful of these, the six-winged Seraphim, served as the "face" of Heaven, conveying God's will and carrying out His commands.
Angels believe in goodness and order. They will listen to the wishes of believers and provide necessary assistance. They will also select talented humans to give them "divine favor" and serve as "protectors" of the world.
The monsters in hell have no intelligence and are naturally fond of killing and destruction. Most demons have evil personalities and act cunningly, taking pleasure in the misery of others. Even if they occasionally "favor" humans, it often requires them to pay a painful price.
They should have been a major threat to both heaven and earth, but because they overly worshipped power and believed that the strong were respected, most of the time the demons were fighting each other and rarely crossed the Styx.
Therefore, the three realms are able to maintain a delicate balance.
However, this balance was completely broken one day - something strange happened in hell.
The highest mountain in hell gathers the evil energy from all around, and the boiling magma breeds unrivaled powerful life.
As soon as he was born, he devoured countless monsters, and his pressure crushed the entire demon realm, forcing all demons to bow down to him.
He became the undisputed Demon King.
The fragmented situation in Hell no longer exists. The demons obey the King's will, and the monsters are controlled by Him, and their power grows stronger day by day.
More and more demons, at the instruction of the devil, cast their "favor" on humans, or deceived humans into signing contracts to exploit their souls; later, he even allowed the demons to cross the Styx, burning, killing, looting, and slaughtering many cities on earth.
"Wait!" Lin Miao interrupted Zhi Ling and pointed out the unreasonable part in confusion.
"According to what you said, why did the Demon King order the three-headed dog to guard the Styx before he disappeared? Isn't it what He wants to do to let those endlessly regenerating monsters rush out?"
"I don't know what the devil was thinking at that time. Perhaps, he knew that doing so would not benefit him." Zhiling replied calmly and continued his narration.
Seeing the chaos in the human world, the God of Light in Heaven could no longer sit idly by. He was determined to eliminate the source of these disasters and suppress the devil.
A large number of angels descended on the border of the Styx, and the horn of an earth-shaking battle was sounded.
The battle between the gods and the devil lasted for a long time, but in the end, the God of Light pierced the devil's heart with his lightsaber, and as a price, his divine power dissipated.
After that, the devil disappeared in public, and the god began a hundred years of seclusion.
…It still seems suspicious. Lin Miao unconsciously stroked the teacup, thinking silently.
But judging by Zhi Ling's expression, he had obviously told her everything - at least everything that could be said, and asking more would be of no use.
Thinking of this, Lin Miao decisively ended the topic.
"Second question. What secrets do the Jingyu Temple and the Red Lotus Pond hide?"
The remnant souls in the pool, the reliefs in the underground hall and the dark shadows tangled with demonic energy, what Gabriel had said about "turning to dust"...
Reese did not think about the reason for the Archangel's arrival, but she knew it very clearly - there were too many doubts and coincidences on Mount Muga, and she actually implemented her gambling plan with a 100% probability, which far exceeded her expected results.
"I can't answer that question."
To her surprise, Zhi Ling chose to refuse directly.
"Okay." Lin Miao shrugged, and became even more wary of Mujiashan.
She settled for the next best thing: "Then I want to know the relationship between the three-headed dog and the demon king."
While Reese has forgotten many things from the past, he still remembers the last instructions given to him by the Demon King before he disappeared - perhaps his relationship with the Demon King will become a breakthrough for her to advance the node and gain "loyalty".
"Cerberus was once the Demon King's most...useful subordinate." When saying the word "useful", Zhi Ling's tone was a little strange.
It was clearly an objective assessment from an outsider, but it seemed mixed with a few...
Dissatisfaction? Disdain?
Lin Miao keenly sensed the emotion that was accidentally leaked, although he hid it tightly the next moment.
"Unlike other demons who submit to the Demon King's might, the three-headed dog is his 'product' and is naturally loyal to him."
"Perhaps because of this, he earned the Demon King's trust, often following him and completing many missions for him... and became the last subordinate to receive his orders."
"I found that he forgot a lot of things in the past, even including that battle." Lin Miao said tentatively, paying attention to the subtle changes in his expression.
“Do you know why?”
Zhi Ling's face was as calm as water, without the slightest wavering. "Perhaps the Demon King feared he would reveal his secrets and sealed his memory. ... However, he was severely injured in the battle, his brain was damaged, and it's unclear whether he has lost his memory."
"You don't need to worry about that. As long as you get the key, we'll have fulfilled our agreement."
...Such a blatant insinuation, almost saying someone's brain is broken, is that really okay? Lin Miao was deeply shocked.
Why do I feel that Zhi Ling’s malice towards the three-headed dog is becoming more and more undisguised?
"You have one last chance," Zhi Ling reminded her. "Have you thought about what to ask?"
"One last question."
Lin Miao calmed himself down and called out his name for the first time.
"Mr. Ziller, are you really a spirit master?"
"Still, the same as Gabriel—"
"Where's the Archangel?"
