"This is!"
Shen Tu and Yu Lei, the two Deities, were suddenly shocked. They saw that within the black cloud, there seemed to be countless shadows wrapped within it. The dense, immeasurable number, nearly a hundred million mortals, were wrapped in that black cloud.
One must know that this was the God Prison. In the past, Fujun only imprisoned Gods after death, or at the very least, human butchers and ghouls that the Underworld could not suppress, who were escorted here.
Let alone living people, even ordinary ghosts were not qualified to be sent here.
But why would Fujun send so many living people? One must know that if K'un-Lun were to learn of such a thing, it would inevitably trigger a war between the two worlds.
From their aura, these people should be mortals from Fusang. But if Fujun did this, would the Gods of Fusang come knocking... Shen Tu and Yu Lei looked at the hundreds of Japanese ghost gods not far away. Uh, it seemed these Fusang ghost gods were also caught in one fell swoop by Fujun. Then it's fine.
The two exchanged a gaze.
"What does Fujun intend by sending these living people to the God Prison?"
"This is the first time I've seen living people appear in the God Prison, and so many of them!"
The two were stunned by the sudden scene and were momentarily negligent, overlooking Izanami. By the time they reacted and looked again, they were startled.
The Japanese ghost gods suppressed by the peach tree had, with Izanami's help, all regained consciousness at some point and were slowly approaching this side.
"These Gods have also come here with their physical bodies!" Shen Tu frowned, unable to understand how Fujun could make such a mistake! Gods with physical bodies, divine ranks, and incense offerings are completely different existences from Gods who only have their souls left. The three-thousand-mile Peach Mountain only suppresses souls.
"Where is this place?" Amaterasu looked at the two Gods before her, secretly alarmed. The aura of either of them was no less than her own. However, she was with the Gods of Takamagahara, which gave her the confidence to question Shen Tu and Yu Lei.
Shen Tu and Yu Lei, the two brothers, had been guarding the Ghost Gate since ancient times and had rarely descended to the Mortal Realm, so they couldn't understand Amaterasu's Japanese language at all.
Seeing their expressions, Amaterasu quickly and skillfully switched to Chinese language: "Who are you two, and what is this place?"
Shen Tu pondered for a moment, exchanged a look with Yu Lei, then frowned and said: "This is Helheim, where Gods go after death. My brother and I are here by the decree of Taishan Fujun, responsible for guarding this place. Who are you, and why have you come here with your physical bodies?"
"Taishan Fujun, Helheim!"
Hearing Shen Tu's words, Amaterasu was first stunned. Her mind stirred, she narrowed her eyes, then smiled: "So this is actually Taishan Fujun's God Prison. We also entered this place by mistake and will leave now!"
Shen Tu shook his head: "No one has ever left the God Prison. Since you have come, whether by mistake or not, you will stay here quietly and await Fujun's judgment upon his return!"
Amaterasu's complexion changed upon hearing this. Behind her, a short God leaped out, grinning strangely at Shen Tu and Yu Lei:
"Bastards! We have hundreds of High Gods from Takamagahara here! Just the two of you, aren't you afraid we'll overturn this Helheim of yours!"
"Just you, mere minor Gods from the Land of Barbarians, think you can destroy Helheim!" Shen Tu and Yu Lei looked at the Japanese Gods with disdain, their tone full of contempt, clearly not taking them seriously.
The two indeed had this confidence. They had guarded the God Prison for thousands of years, and not a single ghost god had ever escaped the Ghost Gate, not to mention they had the empowerment of the three-thousand-mile Peach Mountain.
Just as the two groups were on the verge of conflict, a voice suddenly sounded from above the black cloud overhead.
"An unexpected gain!"
Shen Tu, Yu Lei, and the group of Japanese ghost gods all looked towards the sky. Within the black cloud, condensed from dense Underworld black energy, a colossal face appeared, far larger than the three-thousand-mile Peach Mountain. That face clicked his tongue in wonder, looking down.
"Audacious! How dare you peek into the God Prison! Who are you?"
"You ask who I am? I am naturally the new Master of this Helheim!" A ray of radiance bloomed in front of Shen Tu and Yu Lei. The moment that ray of radiance rippled out, it opened a massive Void Channel before the two of them.
Shen Tu, Yu Lei, and the Japanese ghost gods all looked towards the Void Channel.
Dimly, everyone seemed to see, beyond the boundless Void Space, at what seemed to be the end of boundless Space-Time, a great and mighty existence bathed in brilliant light stood tall.
That existence seemed to be holding a fruit in his hand. As he raised his head, his calm gaze penetrated through layers of Void Space, fixing on the three-thousand-mile peach tree behind everyone.
"What a large peach tree. I wonder how the fruit it bears compares to Fellow Daoist's flat peach..."
Separated by an immeasurable distance in Space-Time, everyone clearly heard this calm, gentle voice.
"Don't bother thinking about it. This peach tree has existed since ancient times and has never borne a single peach. I even suspect that the peach tree planted by Taishan Fujun is fake!" A cold female voice echoed in the Void Space.
Shen Tu and Yu Lei's hearts trembled simultaneously. They recognized the identity of the woman speaking.
Ancient Kunlun God, how could she be here?
"Hmm, this peach tree is actually formed from the origin/source of this underworld cauldron. No wonder it doesn't bear fruit. Oh, it turns out it needs sufficient divine origin power as nutrient. There are some good nutrients here! Fellow Daoist, wait a moment, I'll see if this peach tree can bear two peaches. If it succeeds, celebrating Fellow Daoist's return to his divine rank with these peaches would be a fine story!"
At the end of that Void Channel, the great and mighty existence, who seemed to stand at the end of Space-Time, seemed to discover something. With a slight raise of his hand, a meteor was seen streaking across the Void Space, descending with seemingly slow, yet ultimately terrifying speed, along that unfathomable Void Channel! In less than a thousandth of a second, the Void Channel began to shake violently, as if an indescribably terrifying giant beast was about to burst through The Void!
Shen Tu and Yu Lei had been in Helheim for a long time and had the deepest cultivation base. With their eyesight, they quickly saw clearly. Within the Void Channel, a light like a meteor was faintly visible, and that figure was a woman with a cold expression.
