Chapter 765: Chapter 727: The Older Generation of Realm Gods_1

"Bang!"

An invisible wall appeared in the path of his escape, forcefully bouncing him back.

It felt just like when his True Body had absorbed a filthy essence from the Fifth Realm and then encountered resistance while trying to breach the Boundary Wall.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Fan Di" spoke unhurriedly, the skeleton’s eye sockets becoming hollow again after the Netherworld Messenger’s Spiritual Soul had departed.

No light, no Soul Fire, and not a hint of color.

Only dead silence and void.

The skeleton’s body suddenly began to move, stepping through the Misty Sea with its joints making a "creak, creak" sound.

"Right here, there was a spatial rift that connected you to Purgatory just a moment ago, let me have a look."

The ghastly white skeleton walked to the spot where Pang Jian had earlier opened the spatial rift, extending a sharp finger as if it were a bayonet and thrusting it into the vanished rift.

The bony finger forcefully dragged downward!

"Hiss!"

A brand new spatial rift was torn open by its white bony finger; flickering lights within suggested it might also lead to another world. Its hollow eye sockets peered intently only to shake its head in disappointment. "Too late, the spatial coordinates are lost; the connection to the Purgatory World is inaccurate."

It clearly mastered Void Secret Skills!

Pang Jian, who had not fled in time and was bounced back by the invisible wall, spread out his Divine Consciousness, searching for any gap without a defensive barrier, ready to attempt escape again.

"It was you who killed Fan Di, wasn’t it?" Pang Jian asked, making conversation.

It candidly admitted, "Indeed, you have appeared at the skeletal remains several times."

A chill rose in Pang Jian’s heart again!

He clearly remembered the palpitations he felt when he first flew out from the bottom of Thunder Prison and saw Fan Di’s massive skeleton; he had tried to enter the skeleton to investigate the true cause of Fan Di’s death but instinctively felt something was amiss.

Ultimately, he did not choose to approach but returned to the Thunder Prison instead.

—In fact, at that time, he had already sensed that something was off.

Before he saw this skeleton for the second time, many Alien Gods, mobilized by the Ghost Clan High God Zimo, had converged outside the Thunder Prison in the void, disassembling and taking away most of the skeleton.

Eventually, only a very small part of it remained, skeletal remains of little value that the Netherworld Messenger found suitable to construct a smaller version of Fan Di.

Yet the true culprit behind Fan Di’s murder had been hiding all along, never leaving until now!

The Alien Gods dissected Fan Di’s skeleton without it appearing; the Netherworld Messenger came to build the smaller Fan Di from the remnants, yet it still did not appear.

It was likely hidden inside the bones!

It had accompanied him and the Netherworld Messenger, wandering the Misty Sea for so long, listening to their conversation, and even followed them to the Stone Eater’s territory, managing to deceive even the Stone Eater!

"Who are you? What do you want?" Pang Jian demanded in a deep voice.

It did not answer, those hollow eye sockets still gazing at the spatial rift it had slit open, as if trying to see where it really led.

At this time, the Netherworld Messenger’s burning Spiritual Soul also set the gigantic silver Bee Insect hive ablaze.

The hive first burst into flames, and somehow, sparks fell upon the bodies of the Bee Insects, igniting thousands upon thousands of their corpses along with the hive.

The Netherworld Messenger was burned to death, and both the hive and the Bee Insects turned to ash under the flames, becoming nothing more than dust and void.

"Someone else is behind the attack on the hive and the Bee Insects."

The mysterious entity who had seen nothing in the spatial rift turned and looked back at Pang Jian. Hollow eye sockets devoid of light or color, He said,

"I am like you, a Realm God of the ’Prison’ world within the Mysterious Fog. Unlike you, I have been a Realm God for a very long time."

"Your father, your mother, they were old acquaintances of mine."

"Long ago, at our Realm Gods’ summit, they were figures I looked up to."

This person candidly revealed his identity.

Only within the Mysterious Fog’s ’Prison’ world, do Realm Gods exist. And it is from one generation to the next that Realm Gods are passed down. If a Realm God falls without finding a successor, the legacy is lost.

Now, in the Mysterious Fog, the strongest beings of the Dark Prison and Thunder Prison knew nothing of the Realm Gods.

This indicated that the number of Realm Gods was dwindling.

A senior Realm God had suddenly emerged, vanished after killing Fan Di, and quietly accompanied him all the way until just before he attempted to enter the Netherworld Prison, when He finally chose to reveal Himself. What exactly did the other party want to do?

"Us Realm Gods do not abhor the creatures of Purgatory, but we have always loathed Netherworld Prison deeply." The mysterious Realm God, in the skeletal form of Fan Di, said,

"You already learned upon arriving that Long Di of Netherworld Prison, along with those Netherworld Gods, take pleasure in waging wars against the other ’Prison’ worlds."

"It’s not just Them, but also those Netherworld leaders and gods before Them who did the same."

"Aside from Purgatory, also Thunder Prison, all the other ’Prison’ worlds have been conquered by the Netherworld Prison before and ruled by those Netherworld Gods for many years."

"Why?"

"Why should the creatures of other worlds be ruled by Them of Netherworld Prison, have their fates decided by Netherworld Gods?"

"This war against Netherworld Prison was driven by our joint force of Realm Gods, with many powers involved! We seek nothing else but to reclaim justice!"

"Netherworld Prison must pay the price for its past misdeeds!"

The Realm God, who did not disclose which ’Prison’ world He came from, hid His hatred for Netherworld Prison no longer.

Each of His words seemed to carry blood and tears,

"In the Mysterious Fog, although the creatures of the ’Prison’ worlds share the same clan and origin as the Alien Gods from Outer Space, we bear no hatred towards the Human Race of Purgatory."

"Because the battlegrounds of the Human True Gods have always been in the Outer Star River, not in the other worlds within the Misty Sea."

"It is Netherworld Prison and the Netherworld Gods, Long Di and those former leaders, who have always been slaughtering the other clans in the Misty Sea!"

The Realm God, clarifying His position and attitude, first raged against Netherworld Prison and the Netherworld Gods and then said to Pang Jian,

"Pang Jian, you too are a Realm God. I can lead you into Netherworld Prison so you can witness the decline of Netherworld Prison for yourself."

"We want you to see how we have collectively slain Long Di and how the Netherworld Gods have fallen, one after the other."

Every Realm God, holding a Realm God Card, can enter other ’Prison’ worlds, unrestrained by the laws of the Misty Sea, regardless of their realm and combat power.

As the ’Prison’ worlds gradually become unsealed, warriors with ninth-grade bloodlines, low-ranking God Spirits should also be able to break through.

After a calamity that occurs only once every hundred thousand years, a drastic change takes place in all ’Prison’ worlds, not just Purgatory.

Purgatory is navigating a catastrophe, and Netherworld Prison is suffering retribution for its previous invasions.

Many powerful Realm Gods, together with the strongest beings they can muster and the God Spirits capable of penetrating deep into Netherworld Prison under the laws, seek retribution against Netherworld Prison.

That’s why the hive was shattered, and the Bee Insects died—to first deprive Long Di of its eyes.

Netherworld Gods originating from Netherworld Prison, including every warrior of the Nether Tribe, would be cut down upon sight by this group.

"Am I someone you invited?" Pang Jian asked, feigning calm.

"Of course! As one of the Realm Gods, you are naturally one of us. I remained hidden before, simply observing you to see what kind of person you are." The Realm God, who did not reveal which ’Prison’ world He belonged to or show His True Body, spoke and flew towards the direction of Netherworld Prison.

—Still in the skeletal form of Fan Di.

"Come with me. Let me lead you into Netherworld Prison, to witness the sinking of Netherworld Prison!"
