Inside the satanic gate, in the Black and Red World, Big Luo leaned back against the satanic gate. His expression slowly changed from perplexion and confusion, to self-mocking and bitterness.

“My destiny?” he said as he smiled bitterly, shaking his head.

Lin Feng ma.s.sacred one of the most powerful elders in the Hades Clan, Vipralopa Great Demon Hades Kong Yuan. s.h.i.+ Tianhao almost killed Hades Ning Feng, who was outside the gate, during the war between the two realms.

However, Big Luo could not develop any feelings of hatred for them. When he was alone and he thought it over, he could only start feeling sad about the realities of war.

Even for the physical form of his Hades, besides the skeletal remains from Hades Emperor Tianhai, it was infused with the flesh, blood, and spiritual essence that Lin Feng extracted from the physical body of Hades Kong Yuan.

Deep inside Big Luo's heart, his emotional preference was actually clearer than ever,

As he said it himself, his current life had the most profound impact and influence over his mentality. Even if they speak of his origins, he was destined for eternal reincarnation the moment he was born. Whatever little feelings he had for his mother and father in his previous life, they stemmed from the imprint that was etched into his Demon Soul, and not from daily interactions.

But still, a feeling of bitterness rippled in Big Luo's heart.

If he was not a Hades, not the son of the Hades Emperor, he would not be where he was today.

Unlike normal people, besides the teachings and guidance from Lin Feng since young, his natural talent was especially prominent. All these attribute to his bloodline.

If not for his special birth heritage, would Lin Feng have saved him years ago?

Big Luo could somewhat sense that when Lin Feng saved his life, he had no clue about what was going to happen at Spirit Sea, just as he was probably clueless about the return of the Hades Clan to the Greater World.

But if he did not have the Hades bloodline, would Lin Feng still have saved him, and subsequently coach him?

Maybe at that time, it was a spur at the moment action for Lin Feng. But it was precisely because he could become useful one day, which was the real motive for Lin Feng back then, was not it?

It might have just been a casual good deed for Lin Feng to save him, but to take him in under his own guidance, it was more than necessary.

Big Luo was well aware of his own capabilities. When he was just a human, at least in this lifetime, as Luo Yao, a human being, his innate ability could at most be considered above average. It should not have been favored by the leader of the Celestial Sect.

What then, made him who he was today?

And where should he be going now?

Big Luo felt a wave of anxiousness wash over him. The imprint that was etched into his Demonic Soul, his heartbeat and the flow of blood through his body are amplified. It wavered his will, making it difficult for him to keep calm.

From the other side of the door, came Hades Yun Cheng's frigid voice. He said, “to break away from the crowd and hideaway in hermitage, is that your choice? If you think you can cowardly s.h.i.+rk off your responsibilities, you are lying to yourself.”

“When our clan attack those whom you are close with in Celestial Sect and they demand you to be an enemy of your own clan, what will you do? Maybe the death of grand uncle Kong Yuan does not bother you because you are only hold dear the humans in Celestial Sect. But when the humans that you are so reluctantly to hurt ma.s.sacre the last member of our clan, will it still not bother you at all?”

“When our clan was yet to return to Greater World, you were the only Hades there. The reason why you were kept alive was due to our very existence. Because we were still strong and those humans wanted to find us in the Obsidian Realm through you!”

“When you are the only Hades left in the Grand Celestial World, how are you going to protect yourself? When other humans want to get rid of you, do you think Celestial Sect of Wonders would go against those of their own race to protect you, who is a demon?”

“We are from the same clan. We protect every one of our own and would fight to our last breath against enemies. Maybe Celestial Sect of Wonders would battle against the demons for you, but would they fight against other humans just for a Hades like you?”

Hades Yun Cheng said sternly, “have you ever thought about these questions?”

“When you were still weak and you did not pose as much of a threat, maybe it was no problem. But are you willing to live a mundane life, to hinder your own progress and refuse to improve yourself? Then when you have enough strength to threaten those humans, would they believe you even if you told them you are willing to hide away from the world?”

“And how many people would, out of sheer greed, make you the target? When you are no longer of other uses, that Celestial Sect of Wonders might even be the first to kill you, using the essence of your flesh, blood and spirit to refine treasures.”

Big Luo remained silent. Outside the satanic gate, Hades Ning Feng said impatiently, “stop lying to yourself. You said that you have no intention to antagonize our clan, but by stopping us from entering now, you are already a.s.sisting the course of Celestial Sect of Wonders and going against your own clan!”

“Previously you claimed that you did not fully recover memories of your past lives. We will take your word for that. But what about now? Due to your own selfish action, you could bring immense trauma for our clan in the future. When things go wrong then, do you still dare to say that it had nothing to do with you and was not what you intended?”

Big Luo shut his eyes, then after a moment of silence, he said softly, “call me selfish, even a coward, but right now, I will definitely not back down.”

If he retreated now, w.a.n.g Lin and Ning Wan'ge, who was inside, would be in danger. Although only w.a.n.g Lin's Great Satanic Avatar was inside this Black and Red World, it was a critical moment for him as he was comprehending and learning the spell. If anything went wrong, it would cause equal harm to his original body too.

Hades Ning Feng was outraged. He said, “you are taking our kindness for granted. If not because you are the son of Hades Emperor and one of our own, why would we be so patient to communicate with you?”

Big Luo said evenly, “previously, I always wished to get to the bottom of where I came from, wanting to know the entire story from the start to the end. Recently, my wish was finally granted.”

“Be it the Hades Clan, or the humans, I have no intention to make any of you my enemy. Before you returned to the Greater World, I was doing just fine, living without much worries.”

“But you eventually still came back, much earlier than I expected. But that was probably normal, since our clan dominated the Barren Expanses back then, with a reputation that was unrivalled in the Grand Celestial World. Naturally, the clan would not be willing to reside in a Middle World permanently. n.o.body has the right to keep you there forever.”

Big Luo's expression was complicated. He sighed and said, “at last, you came back, waging a devastating war against the humans. Indeed, it was difficult for me to stay out of it again.”

“It was because of my Hades bloodline I was able to become a disciple of master Lin, eventually attaining Undying Demonic Soul. The natural gift from the bloodline had a profound impact on me. I reaped the benefit of the gifts that father and mother left behind when they died, but in the end, I have to betray the expectations and hopes that father had. For me, maybe the only release will come when I lose this life.”

“After the previous rebirth and awakening, if I am to dye again, I would have already lost the ability to reincarnate. If I perish, then this time, I will be gone for good, without my soul as Hades Big Luo,” Big Luo said, as he snickered self-mockingly, “master Lin saved my life in the past. But the reality for me is that this life was destined to be my last.”

“Is this running away? I have no clue. But I am unwilling to resort to other options, which is why this can be my only decision.”

Big Luo said calmly, “but at this moment, I cannot back down. Forgive me for going against your will.”

Outside the satanic gate, Hades Yun Cheng's expression also peaced out. He said evenly, “if this is your decision, then we have nothing else to say.”

“Since you have decided to betray our clan and renounce the glory that you were supposed to have, and be so obstinate, befriending humans and going against our own kind, I will have no mercy for someone as treasonous as you.”

As Hades Yun Cheng spoke, his form started to alter. Thick silver hair sprouted continuously from his body, like it was covered by an incessant silvery glow. Purple light patterns floated in the void, then blanketed the silver hair on his skin. From the three horns on his head, rings of brilliant light radiated away.

“I have no intention to say what, ‘I will keep you alive to let the pa.s.sing of time prove how naive and innocent your thoughts are now', just to prove that I am right and you are wrong,” Hades Yun Cheng said, as he revealed his original form. He reached out his gigantic claw into the voice, grappling the entire pitch black satanic gate into his palm.

Under the resonance of a tremendous and majestic demonic energy, cracks started to form on the pitch black satanic gate. Hades Yun Cheng's voice was devoid of any emotion. He said indifferently, “if you are so determined to die, then I will give it to you. Go and explain to his majesty Hades Emperor your act of treason yourself in the afterlife.”

Inside the Black and Red World, Big Luo looked up and discovered that the entire Middle World was trembling violently. Besides the growing cracks on the satanic gate behind him, looking at the void before him, there are gaps formed due to the distortion.

The restrictions on the satanic gate were connected to existence of the Middle World. If Hades Yun Cheng was to destroy the satanic gate, he would exterminate this Middle World together with the satanic gate, as well as Big Luo and the rest who were inside.

”

Hades Ning Feng also calmed down by then. He turned to look at Hades Yun Cheng and said, “that traitor more than deserves death, but there might be clues left behind by his majesty Hades Emperor in this Middle World, leading us to his other installations,”

“The plans that his majesty Hades Emperor designed met with changes. If we do not salvage what is left, then we have less bargaining chips in the bid for Spirit Sea.”

Hades Yun Cheng said calmly, “he said that he did not mind dying and it was obvious that although he was lost and confused, he did not say it impulsively in the heat of the moment. However, he is reluctant to retreat now, which shows that inside this Middle World, there are others besides himself. Moreover, they are likely under his protection out of some reason,”

“Maybe they are even solving the clues left behind by his majesty Hades Emperor and Hades Empress. In the scramble for Spirit Sea, besides Great Void Sect, Celestial Sect of Wonders is the biggest enemy of our clan. If the other installations that his majesty devised somehow fall into their hands, it would bring a even greater disadvantage to us.”

Hades Yun Cheng said coldly, “in addition to this place, we can find other clues, albeit with a bit more time invested. But now, we have the chance to murder members of Celestial Sect inside here, as sacrifice to great grand uncle Kong Yuan!”

As he spoke, the resonance of demonic energy from Hades Yun Cheng grew even stronger. After a momentary silence from Hades Ning Feng, he also channeled his own demonic energy into the satanic gate, causing the pitch black satanic gate to be on the verge of collapse.

Inside the Black and Red World on the other side of the satanic gate, Big Luo sent a message to Crocodile G.o.d via telepathy. In the palace, w.a.n.g Lin and Ning Wan'ge were still working on their breakthroughs.

Big Luo inhaled deeply, as the hesitance and anguish in his eyes vanished briefly, replaced by determination and composure. Suddenly, he withdrew his demonic energy from the pitch black satanic gate.

In a thundering roar, the satanic gate marred with cracks, on the verge of shattering, was once more unlocked at that instance, as it was gradually pushed open.
