Chapter 125: Go to Hell**
A fat man three meters high!
Made entirely of skin!
Seeing this thing at night will cause nightmares!
Shen Ye asked as he took a cautious step back: "What is your excellency's identity?"
The giant fat man said in a booming voice: "I am the Nightmare Demon. After being killed by the King of Ghouls, Mictlantecuhtli, I slept in death for countless years."
Shen Ye asked: "Mictlantecuhtli cut your skin into so many pieces, why?"
The fat man's eyes showed a hint of disdain: "Haha, she is my enemy, and among you is one who inherits her lineage—do you think I will tell you?"
Shen Ye snapped his fingers: "Take him for a warm-up."
A look of confusion appeared on the fat man's face, but in the next moment, a group of black Skeletons suddenly appeared, grabbed him, and dragged him towards the deep darkness.
The giant fat man asked as he couldn't help himself: "People, what are you doing?"
But no one answered him.
The second hand jumped one step.
A black Skeleton appeared and said to Shen Ye: "Boring, it was over as soon as it started."
Shen Ye said: "So fast? Bring him back."
The black Skeleton replied: "Okay." and disappeared.
The next moment.
The gray-black giant fat man appeared again and said as he bowed his head and bent his waist:
"Brother, actually, I don't know what Mictlantecuhtli stitched me with. After all, I was dead at that time."
"If you really want to know, you must travel through time and go to that era to ask her."
Shen Ye and the giant Skeleton looked at each other.
—Who can travel through time!
If we could travel through time, would we ask you?
Shen Ye asked: "Is there no other way?"
"Actually, there is another way—I feel that there is a kind of seal on it on this skin of mine."
"If you search slowly and collect piece by piece, you will one day be able to know what the sealing art is exactly, then find a way to break the seal."
The giant fat man explained: "Of course, this requires patience and a little bit of luck, and it also requires you to have the strength to break the seal."
Shen Ye and the giant Skeleton were silent again.
If we had that strength, would we ask you?
Shen Ye said: "Go."
The giant fat man's body collapsed instantly and returned to being "talismans" falling to the ground.
The giant Skeleton sighed and said: "It seems we need a long time to uncover the secret hidden here."
Shen Ye was about to reply when an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
Not right!
Actually, there is another way!
Although he can't really travel through time, he can see what happened to this thing in the past.
Provided—
that this thing is an item of the Arcane Realm.
Are these "talismans" made by Mictlantecuhtli considered items of the Arcane Realm?
Try!
Shen Ye took two steps back, and his gaze fell once again on those "talismans."
At the same time.
Faint dragon patterns silently appeared behind him, and an eye silently appeared above his head.
"Moon God Illumination" from the First Level of the Arcane Realm, open!
Small glowing lights gathered into small characters and appeared in the air:
"You have activated the Arcane Eye: Moon God Illumination."
"Through this, you can sense the things of the Arcane Realm. Under the gaze of the divine eye, the past of the current things of the Arcane Realm is clear to see, but it consumes a large amount of your Spirit."
In almost an instant.
He saw countless light shadows rise from those "talismans," like a movie being fast-rewound, flowing against the long river of time, always going back towards a distant era.
After seven or eight full breaths.
The long and crazy images being rewound finally slowed down.
Shen Ye saw a small human-like existence, emitting a gray-white light, floating in the air.
The person was holding a bone blade and was dissecting the Nightmare Demon.
In fact, she had almost completed the dissection process and was carefully stitching that demonic skin.
—No need to think, this is the legendary Mother of Shadowy Bones, the King of Ghouls, and the Lord of the Underworld, Mictlantecuhtli.
She is also the mother of the giant Skeleton Feron's lineage.
Shen Ye was about to observe carefully when something he never expected happened.
Mictlantecuhtli suddenly stopped her movement.
She slowly raised her head and looked in Shen Ye's direction.
"Who?"
"Across the long river of time, who is watching my current actions with a divine eye art from the Arcane Realm?"
Mictlantecuhtli asked.
Shen Ye's pupils suddenly shrank.
How can it be!
It is clearly a history of countless years—
Why can she feel my gaze across this long river of time?
Mictlantecuhtli thought for a moment, then said:
"The time between us is so long that even I cannot see the future."
"But since you can observe the situation here, you must have a very special magical eye."
"My only way to communicate with you is like this—"
Mictlantecuhtli waved the bone blade in her hand, cut off a piece of demonic skin, and placed a certain mark on it.
"Find this piece of demonic skin. I will leave a special seal on it, which can only be undone by the heir of my lineage."
"Actually, if everything in the future was not related to my lineage, I would have no interest in talking to you."
She said as she cast a spell on the demonic skin.
Shen Ye immediately lowered his head to search and indeed found a piece of demonic skin with a certain mark on it.
"Giant Skeleton, come, this piece of demonic skin is for a blood test. Check your body's condition."
The giant Skeleton asked strangely: "How did you know this?"
—He didn't see any strange phenomenon at all.
Shen Ye said: "Don't ask so much. I just know."
The giant Skeleton placed its palm on that piece of demonic skin.
In an instant.
All the demonic skins floated in the air and formed a wall.
"What's happening?"
The giant Skeleton asked in surprise.
Shen Ye took a few steps back, and as he looked at that wall, he looked once again at the shadow of history.
He saw that Mictlantecuhtli had cast a spell on every piece of demonic skin, then met Shen Ye's gaze again.
"I have hidden the secret of this world in the demonic skin. If it is the heir of my lineage, he can activate the demonic skin, and at this time you have two choices."
"The first is to directly absorb the power I left behind, and immediately advance to the power of the First Level of the Arcane Realm, to be invincible, and rebuild the imperial authority."
"The second is to search for the real enemy of our Undead clan. That person must be the one who will kill me in the future—you must clarify the truth of the matter, then find a way to kill him."
"This is the only thing I can do for you, my son."
Shen Ye withdrew his gaze and looked at those demonic skins.
He saw that all the demonic skins had split into two piles, one pile gathered to form the number "1" in the language of the Undead, and the other pile gathered to form the number "2".
The giant Skeleton asked: "What's happening?"
Shen Ye said: "I want to ask you, what kind of existence was your mother at that time."
"She...all my un-diligent brothers and sisters were killed by her."
"Were you the most diligent?"
"No, I was the last, and when I was born, she was already seriously injured."
Shen Ye thought for a while and said:
"Listen to me, go and touch that '2'."
The giant Skeleton said ignorantly: "Why?"
"To live."
"Eccentric..."
The giant Skeleton extended its hand and touched the number "2".
In an instant.
All the shadows of the past disappeared.
All the demonic skins spread out again, releasing countless Undead runes, and instantly broke through the void, condensing into the form of Mictlantecuhtli.
"Mother!"
The giant Skeleton knelt.
Shen Ye looked at Mictlantecuhtli, then looked at those Undead runes releasing their power, and suddenly understood.
This was just a pre-prepared light and shadow art, and Mictlantecuhtli had not returned to life.
Could it be...
Mictlantecuhtli floated in the air, lowered her gaze, and said in a low voice:
"A wise choice."
"—My heir cannot be a useless person who eats and waits for death, does not seek progress, and only thinks about inheriting power."
"Once you choose 1, the art I hid in the demonic skin will be activated and will kill you directly."
"But since you chose 2..."
"Then come to hell."
"—Only in hell, when you know the truth, will you be safe."
"My son of lineage, since you have chosen revenge, then come to the depths of hell, search for the truth and the enemy's weaknesses, and crown your head with his head—"
"Only then will you be the true king of skeletons!"
When her words ended.
This God disappeared.
All the demonic skins gathered again, rippled quickly, and suddenly opened.
He saw that on this piece of demonic skin was a shining golden gem, and it seemed that there were liquids flowing back and forth inside.
Nightmare Crystal!
A line of small glowing characters silently appeared and condensed next to the Nightmare Crystal:
"???"
"Inheritance crystal of the Undead clan."
"After use, you will obtain a special art left by the God of the Undead."
"Please be careful, this crystal can only be used by the Undead, because only the Undead can build a relatively safe path that leads directly to the depths of hell."
Shen Ye and the giant Skeleton looked together at the glowing Nightmare Crystal, and both were speechless.
After a long time.
Shen Ye asked: "Hey, are you really going?"
The giant Skeleton said: "I'm not sure...although I am Undead, going to hell while alive still carries great risks...unless you can help me."
Shen Ye asked: "How can I help you?"
The giant Skeleton said: "When things go wrong, we must retreat immediately, brother, at this time, only your art of the two worlds' doors can save me."
Shen Ye was about to speak when a scene from the recent past suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Discover the secrets of this world—your friends will help you, but provided you help them first."
"If you know the real secret of this world, there might still be a glimmer of hope!"
"...whether to save me, or to save your world."
So.
Did that voice know everything from the beginning?
My God, since it knows, why doesn't it tell me directly?
"Hell...it must be hell..."
Shen Ye said in a low voice.
He understood.
Perhaps that voice did not dare to say that "secret" face to face.
Mictlantecuhtli said, only hell is a safe place.
It seems...
If I want to know the secret of this world, I really have to go to hell!
