Chapter 876: Chapter 876 Longevity, Tiannian, Undying, Eternal Life

The ancestral hall felt eerie, and the spirit tablets on the altar seemed to be staring at Han Fei, as if the table was crowded with the dead.

Gently pushing the altar aside, Han Fei discovered a tattered family tree underneath. Most of the text had become unreadable; only a few words could barely be made out.

"Longevity Pupa, Eternal Life Well, Immortal Meat, can people turn into ghosts that consume age?"

The family tree recorded extremely frightening things. Ancestors of the Fu Family seemed not to have died. Through certain special means, they transformed into a half-human-half-ghost existence.

"From the Black Box... black blood flows?"

Han Fei rifled through the family tree, trying to glean useful information. He concentrated fully but suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness from behind.

Turning his head, he noticed that the door of the ancestral hall had somehow closed. The spirit tablets inside trembled slightly, and the ghostly faces of the Gate Gods painted on the wall slowly walked out.

Ordinarily, Gate Gods are Divine Spirits, but the ones in the hall had rotting faces and bodies made of white bones, more suitably called Door Ghosts.

"How could a base for the living employ ghosts as guards? It seems this place has entirely allied itself with ghosts and is beyond salvation."

A surge of Greed Black Fog erupted, and the principal’s large hands grabbed the two Door Ghosts, dragging them into the Greed Abyss.

Han Fei did not stop there; he gazed at the altar: "And you all, none of you will escape tonight."

Including all the spirit tablets on the altar, Han Fei swallowed everything tainted with ominous energy in the ancestral hall into the Greed Abyss.

While toying with the Black Box sculpture, Han Fei discovered something intriguing: this Black Box was sculpted in imitation of the Black Box within his Brain Sea, made from a very unique material impervious to both Greed Black Fog and Hatred.

"I can’t open the real Black Box, but can’t I open you?"

The Healing Starlight reflected on the Black Box’s surface, and Han Fei observed carefully. The imitated Black Box was surrounded by a large amount of villagers’ faith, adopting forms of both salvation and destruction.

When the Healing Personality intrudes, the Black Box uses devout faith to block it. When Hatred attempts to penetrate, another malevolent force hidden within the Black Box awakens.

"An intriguing design, but the creator probably didn’t anticipate I could open both sides of the Black Box simultaneously?"

As the Healing Starlight completely enveloped the Black Box, a crack opened in the Greed Abyss, and the Executioner raised the giant axe from the Fear Nightmare high.

The Black Box still relied on villagers’ faith to hold strong, but in the next moment, the giant axe from the Fear Nightmare struck hard on the Black Box!

The popping of bubbles sounded; the Black Box was forcibly opened, revealing a person’s entirely black memory inside, spreading like water of fate, altering time in the village, slowing everything down.

Han Fei had been curious what was hidden in the Black Box, and now he saw it in the imitation’s interior.

It was someone’s memory, filled with absolute despair and devoid of vitality, a shade tailor-made for tragedy.

The smell of decaying flesh wafted in, reaching an apex of pain, every second felt acutely; the passage of time decelerated, as if his world froze.

The spirit tablets devoured into the Greed Abyss seemed to go insane, scrambling for the tainted blood seeping from the Black Box memory, drinking the person’s despair to better their own existence.

"Attention player number 0000! You have discovered a one-time C-level Shrine Special Item—Part of My Sadness."

"Part of My Sadness: Part of a person’s sadness placed in a box, unseen and forbidden. Outsiders will continuously fill the box with some sadness, until it can hold no more, birthing a gloomy, dark Deep World."

Han Fei was momentarily stunned by the abrupt system alert, absorbing the flowing black memory.

Thinking it over, the wooden spirit tablets on the altar consumed the blood trickling from the silent box, reveling and howling, shaking the entire ancestral hall.

"Is part of the villagers’ longevity built upon the deaths of others?"

Selfishness, greed, endless desire drove them to fabricate the Black Box, venerating the most despairing object in the ancestral hall, with numerous spirit tablets eagerly watching, awaiting to drink its blood.

The family tree detailed the method for creating Longevity Pupa and reasons behind the Eternal Life Well. These longevity methods demanded some people’s sacrifices, a form of protection through sacrifice, inherently unjust.

As the Black Box shattered, Han Fei attempted to capture the flowing black memory, but his current Ability proved insufficient to grasp this most Special C-level Shrine Special Item, leaving him to watch as it dissipated into the air, with black dust drifting out of the ancestral hall, falling into the Well outside.

"Could there be someone’s sorrow sedimented in the real Black Box too?"

Han Fei repeatedly opened both sides of the Black Box, yet it seemed an eternal enigma; inside the box was another box.

The sudden knocking outside halted Han Fei’s contemplation. Opening the door, he saw rows of villagers clad in red burial clothes, carrying white paper lanterns, standing within the dense forest.

They encircled the ancestral hall, their expressions eerie and terrifying, faces ghastly pale.

"Every living being at this Survivor Base has fallen under the control of Ghost and Monster." Han Fei glanced over at the elders; frequently drinking the water from the Well had severely deformed their bodies, turning them into half-human-half-ghost forms. Many had human-faced sores, resembling grotesque patches of multiple people sewn together.

"They killed others, stealing parts of their lives for longevity, resulting in foreign traits appearing on their own bodies, is this the so-called secret to longevity?"

The elder who previously greeted Han Fei was among them, a patch on his neck peeling off to reveal a young man’s face.

Han Fei recalled the Investigation Bureau’s report; the young man’s face on the back of the elder’s neck was identical to that of the Messenger previously sent by the Bureau to Longevity Village!

"Do you still consider yourselves human?"

The entire village has become accomplices of ghosts. To live longer, they lost their humanity, leaving only bodies that won’t decay.

The ground trembled; perhaps sensing Han Fei’s challenge, a new change arose in the village.

Graves were unearthed, and hidden family members from each house came out, an astonishing number of them.

Most of them were extremely aged, their skin like layers of fabric, their features wrinkled together, and their eyes devoid of human light, filled only with a fear of death and an all-consuming hunger.

"Initially, I wanted to give you a chance, but seeing the current situation, you are beyond saving."

Han Fei is not bloodthirsty; if there’s even a sliver of hope for saving the other party, he will try. That’s one reason he didn’t act directly but chose to gradually investigate.

However, now, there’s no need to hold back. The aura exuding from those villagers shows they have given up all semblance of humanity.

Since they’ve chosen to become monsters, they’re now Han Fei’s targets for cleansing.

Black fog of greed surged from behind him, countless deep-sea fish swam in the fog, and all the villagers harboring murderous intent towards Han Fei were reaped, their flesh becoming sacrificial offerings for the large-scaled grudge, their souls absorbed into the Abyss.

Once the village returned to normal, all the villagers had vanished without a trace.

They drank from the Eternal Life Well; their yearning for longevity destroyed their humanity, and everyone wanted to kill Han Fei and divide his vitality.

"Now, the Investigation Bureau will probably misunderstand this; they come to investigate, only for the village to disappear afterward."

The night remained eerily dim, the Ghost Creature was not destroyed, and the hatred lingered.

"Let me guess where it might be hiding?"

Other Investigation Bureau members prefer to investigate during the day, as the power of ghosts and monsters weakens at daylight, but Han Fei is different; most of his power comes from the Ghost and Monster from the Greed Abyss; the night is his arena.

Walking to the Eternal Life Well, Han Fei raised the Rebirth against the well’s opening and delivered a slash.

Blood flowed from the well mouth made of green bricks; this well had consumed countless living people and had become a thoroughly disgusting thing.

With slice after slice, Han Fei showed no mercy as he chopped down the well!

The blade light, condensed of humanity, cut an unhealable wound, and the being hidden deep within the well could no longer bear it; a piercing cry echoed from beneath!

The ground near the ancestral hall began to crack, surrounding large trees frenziedly growing, and beneath the bark, dark red veins sprang out like those of humans!

A torrent of bloody water gushed out from the well until the open space in the center of the ancestral hall collapsed completely.

The twisted and complex underground river emerged before Han Fei; he clearly saw that the underground river beneath the well had mutated into large, twisted veins, forming a huge hideous monster!

"Player number 0000, please note! You have discovered a hatred not yet condensed with black fire—Longevity."

All veins connected to a thumping heart in the center, from which the cries resounded.

"This hatred is quite distinctive; it just happens that my Greed Abyss lacks some decoration, so I’ll take it."

The underground veins connected Longevity Village and the Elderly Care Home for Healthy Aging; this hatred called Longevity was the key connection between them.

Black flames burned around Han Fei, and the lost little girl swapped places with the Big Fish in the black fog, appearing directly beside the heart.

She still found it difficult to approach the beating heart, as the flow of time around the heart differed from other places, and entering the specific range would infinitely slow all actions.

"The hatred in the Elderly Care Home possesses a time-related ability, which is indeed terrifying."

In the Deceit Building, not just one hatred exists, Longevity is probably the weakest one, and its main ability is not combat but collecting sacrificial offerings and connecting different areas.

The longer it’s dragged out, the less favorable for Han Fei; fearful that the hatred in the Elderly Care Home might emerge, he decisively lets the Fear Nightmare strike together.

Tong Xin’s Mental Ghost Creature forcefully expanded, covering Longevity’s Ghost Creature, weakening its influence on time.

The two black-fire-lit hatreds attacked together, successfully striking the beating colossal heart.

"A hatred capable of influencing time must not be let go; perhaps Gao Xing can construct a shrine about the future with the help of such special abilities."

Greed Black Fog poured down, and even exerting all his power, Han Fei couldn’t drag the heart into the Abyss.

With no other choice, Han Fei drew the Rebirth Slaughter Saber; since he couldn’t bring Longevity whole into the Greed Abyss, he would divide it into several different parts to take away!

Using the Word Spirit ability three times to stimulate his potential, Han Fei swiftly severed all veins connected to the heart, enduring the unbearably piercing cries, finally swallowing the underground heart into the Abyss.

"Player number 0000, please note! You have successfully imprisoned a hatred not yet ignited with black fire—Longevity."

"Longevity (Hatred): There are four very special hatreds in this city, called Longevity, Tiannian, Undying, Eternal Life!"
