Chapter 1878: Chapter 574: The Era of Hell’s Warlord Struggles, Hell’s River of Death, Ghost Nest
“Not sure, but we have two hypotheses.”
“The first hypothesis is that the Hell World initially existed, but since it can only be entered after death, living beings naturally couldn’t know of its existence or ever enter it. Thus, no one is aware of where exactly the Hell World is.”
“Even if someone powerful entered the Hell World, they are unable to divulge much about it; it’s as if this is a taboo lurking in the shadows.”
“You know the terrifying nature of taboo powers, they are almost comparable to the power of laws.”
The Demon clan creature spoke, eyes shining with a hint of wisdom.
Indeed, when it comes to the existence of the Hell World, many Demon clan creatures have long had numerous guesses.
The saying goes, facts speak louder than words.
No matter how much they doubted the Hell World before, they actually did come to Hell after dying.
This serves as proof of the Hell World’s existence.
They couldn’t possibly say that the place they are in is fake.
“Did it initially exist? It’s not entirely out of the question.”
Demon Xiong couldn’t help but nod.
After all, legends of Hell have existed since ancient times. Even though no one has seen it firsthand, since the tales have spread, there is likely some truth to them.
Moreover, they really have entered the Hell World now, which is an undeniable fact.
“The second hypothesis is that the Hell World wasn’t naturally formed, but was a creation of man.”
“It was built by a figure of great power from the Human clan.”
“The purpose of creating the Hell World was to imprison all ghostly beings and demon creatures.”
“The ultimate goal is to imprison us, the Demon clan.”
The Demon clan creature continued with the second hypothesis.
“What? The Hell realm was created by a powerful person from the Human clan?”
Demon Xiong’s pupils contracted in disbelief.
Honestly, the second hypothesis is even more incredible, even more beyond belief than the first.
The idea that such an immense and boundless world of death was built by the Human clan’s might—how could such a thing be achieved?
If it were truly achievable, then how powerful must that individual from the Human clan be?
He prefers to believe the first hypothesis over the second.
Because if the second hypothesis were true, it would mean the Human clan has reached an unimaginable level of strength.
This would leave the Demon clan unable to seek revenge in the future.
Perhaps the Human clan would become the strongest clan across all worlds.
In fact, currently, the Human clan shows signs of dominating the world.
“Though it sounds incredible, we find this possibility quite significant.”
“Perhaps you’re unaware, but countless ghostly beings exist in this Hell World.”
“These ghostly beings belong to various clans.”
“Once inside the Hell World, many ghostly beings engage in continuous killings among themselves to seize territory and resources.”
“It can be said that the slaughter in the Hell World is several times more brutal than in the current earthly world.”
“After all, those who enter here are the ghostly beings post-death, each of them ferocious, fearless, battle-hardened; their killing is even more ruthless.”
“Undoubtedly, now is the era of the dukes battling for dominance.”
“Hence, we need a large number of comrades, only then can we secure a stable territory.”
The Demon clan creature said in a deep voice.
“I see.”
Upon hearing this, Demon Xiong’s pupils contracted; it was no wonder he felt things were off earlier—their fellow clan cultivators were unusually warm and polite.
He almost thought his fellow clan cultivators had been possessed by beings of other clans, or their soul memories altered—certainly not resembling Demon clan cultivators at all.
Since within the Demon clan, there is no compassion, only strength matters, absolute strength.
Mutual help doesn’t exist.
Unlike now, where they actively help him understand matters regarding the Hell World.
This doesn’t fit the character of Demon clan cultivators at all.
Now it seems the character of this group of Demon clan cultivators hasn’t changed; they’re being amiable because they need his help, need him to boost the Demon clan’s combat power in the Hell World.
No doubt, the Demon clan’s situation in the Hell World is extremely dangerous; they need a large number of people to assist, hence the friendliness. Nonetheless, this approach isn’t necessarily bad for him.
“Why do we need stable territory?”
“We’re already departed souls.”
“The sky can be our blanket, the ground our bed; there’s no need to seize any territory.”
Demon Xiong found it very hard to comprehend.
Because according to the Demon clan’s nature, it can survive in any harsh environment.
“Fool, do you think there’s no disaster in Hell?”
“In fact, Hell often experiences various storms.”
“Volcanoes also frequently erupt.”
“Besides, the sky often rains poisonis.”
“If we don’t want to die, we must find a safe haven.”
“Otherwise, without enemy action, just Hell’s harsh living conditions are enough to kill us.”
“We’ve died once; we’re not keen on dying a second time.”
“Certainly, if you want to die again, then not fighting for territory is fine.”
“But most Demon clan cultivators still don’t want to die.”
“If possible, I want to leave the Hell World and return to the Mortal Realm.”
The Demon ghost’s eyes revealed a hint of coldness, filled with ambition.
