Chapter 1140: No Gate to Hell
The crowd's expressions immediately grew solemn.
Originally, when they witnessed the grudges transforming into demons, they hadn't connected it to much, but with Lin Qiye's analysis, they realized the terrifying conspiracy behind these two fallen god realms.
"Then what should we do?" Shen Qingzhu frowned and asked.
An Qingyu pushed up her glasses and said, "The most secure method right now is to rush back to Great Xia as quickly as possible, inform Heavenly Court of what happened here, and have them use the Heavenly Court origin to directly destroy the hell's origin, completely smothering the nascent Cthulhu Faction god realm in its cradle.
Odin took the initiative to lure away Michael, but he doesn't know we exist, so from his perspective, as long as he keeps Michael occupied, this god realm won't be exposed. He wouldn't think that someone discovered the secret here and notified Great Xia's Heavenly Court."
"That's right." Lin Qiye nodded in agreement. "This is the best method... In fact, the gods of Heavenly Court could first not rush to destroy this god realm, but hide in the shadows instead. When Odin comes to them voluntarily, they can kill him on the spot as well."
"But there's one thing I still don't quite understand."
An Qingyu lowered her head in contemplation.
"What?"
"Building a nascent Cthulhu Faction god realm on Earth should be extremely important to the Cthulhu gods... Would they really dare to just leave these two god realms open like this, not afraid that someone might stumble in and discover the secret here?"
"But wasn't Heaven already sealed?" Jiang Er asked.
"Heaven is indeed sealed, but what about Hell?" An Qingyu said. "Don't forget, Odin came in through a gap in Hell. If he knows the entrance, couldn't other god realms in the world also know about it?"
"Besides, look at Zuo Ge—didn't he just sit on a boat and drift in with the ocean currents?"
"Once the Cthulhu Faction god realm is exposed, it will inevitably bring about the siege of all god realms on Earth, so concealment is the most important thing. Would those things on the moon allow such a vulnerability to exist?"
An Qingyu's接连反问 put everyone present at a loss for words. Lin Qiye contemplated for a long while, then looked up at the sky.
In the sky, the crack constantly showering ash had almost completely healed.
He seemed to realize something, and his expression changed:
"Bad! Let's hurry to the gap!"
Without hesitation, he led the group swiftly toward the gap position Shen Qingzhu had indicated.
The group traveled along the canyon at a astonishing speed. They had only flown a few kilometers when An Qingyu, at the very end of the group, slightly changed color and looked behind her.
"Something is watching us."
"Is there?" Jiang Er drifted out from the coffin and looked around. "But those demons didn't catch up, right?"
"Not demons."
Lin Qiye, flying at the very front of the group, said in a low voice, "It's Hell."
"Hell?"
"This Hell is watching us."
Lin Qiye's gaze fell on the high peaks on both sides of the canyon. At the same moment, the earth beneath everyone's feet began to tremor slightly!
The ash covering the earth and mountains like snow drifted down in the vibrations. On the originally gully-filled brown earth, enormous fleshy tumors had sprouted without anyone noticing!
Ranging from fist-sized to house-sized, these tumors were like fruits grown from the ground, practically covering every corner of Hell. Several of the flesh balls split open from the center, and numerous red little insects formed scarlet eyeballs that rapidly rotated.
On both sides of the canyon, more than a dozen scarlet insect-eyes of varying sizes locked onto Lin Qiye's group flying above the water.
The moment they saw these insect-eyes, the others seemed to realize something, and their expressions changed drastically!
"This Hell has come alive?!"
"I should have realized this earlier." Lin Qiye said with furrowed brows. "The ash can corrupt living human bodies, and it can also corrupt dead things including corpses. In this snowfall of ash, the entities most affected weren't the demon angels' corpses or the grudges, but Hell and Heaven themselves!
The Cthulhu gods never wanted a fixed, motionless, cumbersome god realm. What they wanted was a living god realm!
As long as they accumulated this ash on Hell and Heaven, they could corrupt them into living creatures controlled by the Cthulhu gods. Only in this way would this god realm absolutely never be discovered by other god realms!"
As Lin Qiye spoke, he glided above the water's surface and finally stopped in front of a sheer cliff waterfall at the end of the water zone.
This cliff was several kilometers high. The rushing crimson water surged down from above the cliff, making thunderous sounds as water droplets scattered in all directions. Lin Qiye's expression was gloomy beyond measure.
"Where's the gap?" An Qingyu looked at Shen Qingzhu.
"It was supposed to be near here." Shen Qingzhu's expression was unprecedentedly grave. "The exploration ship drifted in from in front of this waterfall. On the way we just came, we should have been able to see it."
"Did we miss it?" Jiang Er asked.
"No... we didn't miss it." Lin Qiye slowly shook his head. "It healed itself."
Lin Qiye extended his hand, pointing toward the deep red sky. "Remember what I said? This god realm has come alive under the ash's corruption. It's like an enormous ball of flesh, and we're currently inside this ball of flesh.
Since it's a living thing, it possesses the ability to heal wounds. The crack in the sky that was showering ash earlier has already been self-healed by it.
The gap between Hell and the outside world was never large to begin with. To it, it's like a wound on a thumb—it can recover completely in no time..."
"Without the gap, how do we get out?"
Jiang Er's voice came through the Bluetooth speaker. Both Lin Qiye and An Qingyu fell into silence at the same time.
Amid the roaring sound of the waterfall's descent, Lin Qiye spoke bitterly:
"We... can't get out."
Heaven had been completely sealed the moment the ash began to fall. Hell's gap also quickly healed after it was corrupted. At this point, Heaven and Hell have completely become living creatures nurtured by the Cthulhu gods. All passages leaving have been cut off.
Now, this is the true situation: no road to Heaven, no gate to Hell.
An Qingyu's hands tightly clenched into fists, her face full of unwillingness.
They had好不容易 made it through Heaven and into Hell, had already reached this step, and in the end they could only be trapped here by the Cthulhu gods.
Moreover, after Heaven and Hell became living creatures, they likely gained the ability to move freely. That is to say, these two god realms might no longer be in the sea area they entered from. Even if Michael broke free and returned, that sea area would already be empty.
All roads out were completely blocked, and no one could save them. They had completely fallen into the god realm cultivation dish prepared by the Cthulhu gods.
Under Lin Qiye's command, the group first found a hidden cave on the surface of the cliff behind the waterfall to hide in.
Due to the obstruction of the water flow, ash had never drifted in here, and Lin Qiye didn't sense any fleshy tumors either. It should be a relatively safe place.
"There must be another way." An Qingyu took a deep breath and seriously began to think. "Since there's no way out, can we open one ourselves?"
