From the distance came bursts of hoarse roaring. Shen Mu's heart stirred. "I understand!
" he blurted out. The assembled crowd was unmoved. Each summoned their divine weapons and channeled their divine arts, ready to slaughter him on the spot.
Yun Chuxiu said with a smile, "What does the Heavenly Lord understand?
" Shen Mu steadied himself. "I finally understand what the Creators of the Great Void built these towering walls to guard against.
" The crowd was taken aback; some looked around.
Lian Huahun frowned, soared into the air, and landed atop an arrow tower to scan the city's surroundings.
The roaring came closer from the darkness beyond the walls.
"Pan Chunjin, you said just now that there is no Nether Capital and no Dark Capital here, that the Earth Earl and the Heavenly Duke hold no sway over this place, and that souls who die here are not under Lady Tianyin's jurisdiction.
Then tell me—where do the souls of those who die here go? " Shen Mu's eyes shone bright.
"These dead spirits naturally remain here in the Great Void! " Yun Chuxiu could not help saying, "Lord Mu, do you really think such words will spare your life?
" Shen Mu shook his head.
"I am not asking you to spare my life—I am trying to save yours. This is the Great Void! " The crowd was bewildered.
Shen Mu said coldly, "This place is saturated with the powerful spiritual consciousness of the Creators.
Those who die in the Great Void wander here; when their resentment erupts after death, what do their souls become under the influence of that spiritual consciousness?
In the Nether Capital, the resentment of the dead gives birth to fiends—and even Demon Gods and Heaven Demons!
These Demon Gods and Heaven Demons are filled with the darkest of emotions: they burn, kill, plunder, and stop at no evil.
But the Nether Capital, after all, is governed by the Earth Earl, so the demon race has never wrought too great a catastrophe. " Everyone's hearts leaped. Yun Chuxiu hastily flew up, landed on an arrow tower, and gazed around the city—her delicate form went rigid. "Here there is no Earth Earl. What is born here will be more powerful and far more evil than Demon Gods. It is against them that the Creators of the Great Void built their defenses!
" Shen Mu sighed. "I wanted to save you all, but you were bent on taking my life.
I reckon none of us can escape now. " Pan Chunjin, Huaiyu, and the others were dubious, but each flew to an arrow tower.
When they saw those enormous, ferocious silhouettes emerging from the darkness, every face turned deathly pale.
