Chapter 17 Welcome to the Underworld
"The Grand Offering?"
"A thousand streams?"
Lin Yu and Bibi Dong exclaimed almost simultaneously, one filled with surprise and doubt, the other instantly feeling icy cold.
Lin Yu's heart jumped into his throat.
"Damn it! How did this old geezer get in here? Sneaking around like that, what's he up to? This is my private space, barging in like this, has no law at all?!"
He also secretly glanced at Bibi Dong. This girl had an irreconcilable feud with the angel family. Would the two of them start fighting here?
If a fight breaks out and his fledgling underworld is destroyed, who will he turn to for justice?
However, while Lin Yu was filled with anxiety, Qian Daoliu's heart was churning with turbulent waves.
The moment he stepped through that gray door, he sensed something was wrong.
The angelic power within him vanished completely at that moment!
It didn't disappear, but was forcibly suppressed, becoming like a stagnant pool.
What horrified him even more was that the faith connection between him and the angels, which had lasted for nearly a hundred years, was cleanly and decisively severed!
Qian Daoliu had lived for over a hundred years and had never felt so powerless and insignificant.
He looked around at the space shrouded in endless gray mist, which was filled with an energy he couldn't understand.
It was more ancient and more advanced than any soul power he knew, or even the divine power he had pursued his whole life!
Could this place be... the realm of gods?
The moment the idea popped into his head, he dismissed it.
Although he had never seen the divine realm in person, the descriptions of the angel gods described it as a supreme plane full of light and order.
Here, there is only gloom, deathly silence, and the end.
Just as he was shaken to his core and even prepared to retreat, a clear, cold voice, devoid of any impurities, pierced through the gray fog.
"Qian Daoliu, how arrogant you are! You dare to trespass into my disciple's Martial Soul Space?"
Qian Daoliu looked in the direction of the sound and saw the gray mist slowly dissipating. Bibi Dong, holding Lin Yu's hand, followed by the ghost bride they had seen before, was strolling leisurely from the depths of the blue stone path.
He then noticed that Bibi Dong, who was speaking, was completely different from the pope he remembered, who was always enveloped in madness and hatred.
At this moment, her beautiful purple eyes were clear and cold. Although her aura was still powerful, it no longer contained that crazy and violent destructive desire.
She simply stared at him coldly, with a pure, deep-seated disgust and murderous intent.
This old guy... he actually dared to pry into Xiaoyu's secrets!
Bibi Dong's murderous intent was clearer than ever before.
In this space, the whispers and temptations of the Rakshasa God vanished without a trace, and her mind regained its long-lost clarity.
She knew more clearly than ever what Lin Yu and his martial spirit meant to her.
Qian Daoliu felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze.
He knew he was in the wrong, after all, it was a big taboo to spy on other people's martial souls, let alone such an unheard-of and bizarre martial soul.
But he was, after all, an old monster who had lived for a hundred years, and his thick skin had long since reached a certain level.
"Bibi Dong, I noticed that you and Lin Yu have not returned for a long time, and I was worried about your safety, so I came looking for you, only to find that I had mistakenly entered this place."
Qian Daoliu adopted the airs of a high-ranking official, acting as if he were doing this for your own good.
"Heh." Bibi Dong let out a cold laugh full of sarcasm, too lazy to even reply.
Surveillance is surveillance, but they make it sound so high and mighty! The people of the Angels' family are truly a bunch of hypocrites! Shameless!
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting increasingly tense and there was a strong possibility that a fight would break out at the slightest disagreement, Lin Yu quickly crawled out from behind Bibi Dong with a standard harmless smile on his face.
"Oh dear, Your Excellency, you flatter us! You're just concerned about us! Teacher, Your Excellency means well, let's not ruin the harmony!"
As he spoke, he winked at Bibi Dong.
[Teacher, calm down! Don't fight here! This is my territory. Who's responsible if this gets damaged? Let's figure out what this old man wants first, and then we'll settle the score with him later!]
Bibi Dong received a signal from her disciple, and her icy killing intent subsided slightly.
She also understood that this was not the place to take action.
Seeing this, Lin Yu immediately turned to Qian Daoliu and asked curiously, "Grand Elder, you are so busy with affairs of state, how come you have time to come and see us in person? Is there something important?"
His words, ostensibly a question, were actually a way of passing the buck: You old man, stop pretending, what do you really want? Just say it!
With his incredibly sharp golden eyes, how could Qian Daoliu not understand Lin Yu's implied meaning?
However, at this moment, all his attention was drawn to the mysterious space itself.
He didn't rush to answer Lin Yu's question. Instead, he took a step forward, an invisible pressure bearing down on him. He asked in an unquestionable tone:
"Child, let's not talk about that now. Tell me, what exactly is this place?"
Lin Yu was taken aback by the question.
Goodness, this old fox is really good at turning the tables!
He subconsciously looked at Bibi Dong, only to find that his teacher was also looking at him with a questioning gaze.
Clearly, Bibi Dong's curiosity about this space, which could suppress the Rakshasa power within her and restore her clarity, was no less than Qian Daoliu's.
Lin Yu's mind raced.
A level 99 Limit Douluo and a level 95 Peak Douluo, the two most outstanding people on the continent, are looking at him with eager eyes.
This feels... kind of great!
More importantly, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
The discovery of whale glue merely demonstrated his value.
And this Martial Soul Space will make him irreplaceable!
Only by showcasing your abilities appropriately can you gain more resources and ensure that they firmly stand on your side!
With that in mind, Lin Yu no longer hesitated.
He cleared his throat, his small frame standing ramrod straight under the gaze of the two bigwigs, a mysterious and solemn expression on his face that seemed out of place for his age.
He didn't answer directly, but instead pointed to the ancient bluestone road under his feet and then to the ever-changing gray mist in the distance.
"This is not any known space in the Douluo Continent, nor is it any secret realm or divinely bestowed domain."
His voice wasn't loud, but it resonated clearly in the deathly silence, each word striking the hearts of Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu.
Seeing the increasingly solemn expressions on their faces, Lin Yu took a deep breath and slowly uttered two words that were enough to overturn their worldview.
"Welcome to the Underworld, both of you."
Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, Lin Yu was quite pleased.
"This is the world of the dead, the place where all things end and souls return—the place that governs reincarnation and determines life and death."
