285: End of chapter

“Before bestowing the reward, the System wants to ask, is this reward something the Host desperately needs?”

Changsun Zilan's face was full of excitement: “Of course, I want to see them, I want to tell them that Zilan is already very strong, and their Child is living very well.”

“System, you wouldn't try to deduct this reward from me, would you? That's not funny.”

Changsun Zilan's expression became a little serious.

Ye Tian stopped asking.

“The Host will be heading to the Hell of this World next, I hope after the Host has seen the people you wish to see, you can look forward.”

As the words fell.

Changsun Zilan felt a strange power surround her.

It felt like a single breath, yet also like several days.

When Changsun Zilan groggily regained consciousness, a gust of Yin wind blew, causing goosebumps all over her body, and at the same time making Changsun Zilan suddenly open her eyes!

The World before her.

The ground was black, mixed with a faint, indescribable scarlet.

Above her head… above the cold and Wu mist, the dark and silent sky made it difficult to breathe.

“Clang~ Clang~ Clang~”

A Man wearing Yin armor with greenish-black skin, as he walked, the two heavy iron plates on his waist clanged dully against each other!

This sound seemed to reach the Soul directly!

The moment she saw the other party, Changsun Zilan's beautiful eyes narrowed.

This fellow, whose strength she couldn't see through, walked straight towards her!

But looking at his appearance, he didn't seem to have any ill intentions.

Coming before Changsun Zilan, the Yin Official took out a strip of paper from his body, looked at it and said: “Living person, Changsun Zilan, here to visit relatives?”

Hearing this, Changsun Zilan had a strange feeling.

Did the System arrange this for her?

It could even communicate with Hell.

Changsun Zilan nodded.

The Yin Official immediately turned around: “Come with me.”

Following the Yin Official's footsteps, Changsun Zilan walked forward.

It was very quiet around them, the sound of the two heavy iron plates on the Yin Official's body clanging could travel very far… very far.

Not long after.

In this pitch-black World, something different finally entered Changsun Zilan's sight.

That was an ancient City.

Vaguely, Changsun Zilan could hear the noisy sounds from a great distance.

As the distance shortened, the two words on the City gate also appeared in her eyes.

“Fengdu!”

After entering the City.

Visibly, there were more Ghosts.

There were Ghosts that were completely white and soaking wet, huddled in a corner of the City wall.

There were Ghosts that were charred all over and smoking, wailing on the ground.

From time to time, there was also a line of Yin soldiers wearing Yin armor, patrolling by.

This peculiar scene was something Changsun Zilan had never witnessed before!

Her appearance as a living person here also attracted the gaze of many Ghosts.

However, due to the Yin Official in front, no Ghosts dared to make a move.

“We're here.”

The Yin Official's emotionless voice fell, stopping in front of a small courtyard.

“We're here…” Looking at the courtyard gate before her, Changsun Zilan felt a moment of trance.

The appearance of this courtyard was the same as the courtyard where she had briefly lived with her parents when she was an infant!

She extended her hand, and after hesitating, knocked on the door.

The door opened.

A woman who looked not much older than Changsun Zilan appeared at the courtyard gate.

The woman seemed to have received a notification early on.

The moment she saw Changsun Zilan, tears streamed down her face like rain.

“Zilan, are you really Zilan?”

In her excited speechlessness, the woman somewhat awkwardly led Changsun Zilan into the courtyard.

The unimaginable thing, the moment it truly arrived, was undoubtedly overwhelming.

When her emotions calmed down, the simple warmth was full of contentment.

Changsun Zilan talked a lot with her parents, from growing up in the Changsun Family, joining the Tianwei Sect with her talent, going to the Dragon Family alone to break off the engagement, cultivating hard for five years just to control her own life…

So much, it was like a Child showing off her achievements to her parents.

In her short half-life, Changsun Zilan seemed to have experienced more than an ordinary person would in a lifetime.

Time slowly passed.

“Clang~ Clang~”

The sound of the bells on the Yin Official's waist slowly appeared outside the courtyard.

“Time is up.”

The emotionless voice made Changsun Zilan's heart clench, and she looked at her parents in front of her.

The woman smiled reassuringly: “Knowing that you are doing so well, we can also reincarnate in peace…”

“I hope in the next life, we can still be a family, and won't encounter such things again.” The Father, Jiang Feng, looked at his Hong Lei's daughter before him with satisfaction.

With her parents' comfort, Changsun Zilan, with a heart full of turmoil, appeared outside the courtyard.

“Lord, can't we have a little more time?”

The Yin Official shook his head indifferently: “A life can only allow a living person to stay here for half an hour.”

“What?” Hearing the Yin Official's words, Changsun Zilan was stunned: “What life?”

Yin Official: “Coming here requires a price. For a living person to appear here, there must be someone who can negotiate with the Lord of Fengdu, willing to leave his Soul here.”

“This is the only way for a living person from your World to come here.”

In the Yin Official's view, it was already not simple for this woman to come here.

He didn't mind saying a few more words.

But these two sentences instantly made Changsun Zilan's mind go blank.

“Life?!” Vaguely thinking of something, Changsun Zilan nervously said: “How come I didn't know about this?”

Yin Official: “This only shows that the person who stayed in Hell for you hid it from you.”

Changsun Zilan panicked and said: “System? What is going on?”

No response.

Changsun Zilan was a little confused, and also seemed to have thought of something.

Could it be, could it be that the System used its life as a price to bring her here?!

This possibility appeared in her mind, Changsun Zilan's breathing became rapid, her face turned pale, and she dared not think further.

“System! Why aren't you answering me? Where are you?!”

There was no response at all, as if the thing that changed her destiny, like fireworks after they had bloomed, had never appeared at all…

“It's time to go.”

The Yin Official's voice almost suffocated Changsun Zilan.

Suddenly.

In her field of vision, a Man smiled and waved goodbye to her.

It was him! He really stayed in Hell!

“No!”

Her beautiful eyes instantly opened wide, and Changsun Zilan woke up from the bed.

“Screech~”

In the sky of the Divine Domain, the illusory Phoenix, with its long call, brought people back to reality.

“How could this be?! This was just a reward, why sacrifice yourself to fulfill me?!”

Thinking of the System in Hell, Changsun Zilan's eyes turned red, and her heart ached.

If the System had told her in advance that such a price of life would be paid, no matter how strong her longing for her parents was, she wouldn't have gone!

Why was the System so foolish!

“Ding~ Reward has been issued, Host, goodbye.”

“No, I don't want this.” The woman looked at the System page slowly dissipating like dust before her eyes, her emotions uncontrollable.

“Boom!”

Outside the door, the high-ranking members of the Divine Domain rushed over in a panic after hearing Changsun Zilan's crying.

“Who bullied my granddaughter?!”

The White-Haired Old Man wearing a white-gold robe looked around furiously.

“Maybe the Child misses her parents.” Uncle Zhang looked at the painting on the wall and sighed.

The White-Haired Old Man carrying a long spear immediately stepped forward: “Zilan, you still have us. If you feel bored, Eldest Uncle will take you to the Lower Realm to play?”

In Hell.

Ye Tian looked at the attitude of the Divine Domain people towards Changsun Zilan in the picture and let out a turbid breath with satisfaction.

He could only accompany the Host for a while, and the rest of the journey would be more exciting with the people of the Divine Domain accompanying her.

Looking at the World before him.

Ye Tian scratched his head, he really couldn't go back to Changsun Zilan's Yang World.

This was the rule of the worlds will.

Of course, spending points could reverse the worlds will's World rules.

But that kind of price was somewhat unnecessary.

Actually, coming to this Hell.

It was also a part of Ye Tian's plan, because he needed to verify certain things.

Looking at the word 'Fengdu' on the City gate, Ye Tian understood.

He could clearly feel it.

This Fengdu City was not part of the fantasy World where Changsun Zilan was!

If the fantasy World outside was compared to a private residence, then this Hell was like opening a small shop in the private residence without the Master's permission.

Ye Tian could feel the fantasy World's rejection of this so-called Hell.

However.

Even a fantasy World of this level was still helpless against this Fengdu City and could only try its best to prevent the Souls within the World from appearing in it, and prevent things from Fengdu from appearing within its fantasy World.

This was a matter between the Heavenly Dao Will and the Nth branch of Fengdu. Ye Tian had contacted the Heavenly Dao and said he could help it, for a small price.

However, this somewhat slow Heavenly Dao was probably fully focused on dealing with Fengdu, and wouldn't notice the message Ye Tian transmitted for a while.

Ye Tian was not in a hurry.

Once the worlds will received his message, it would naturally contact him.

A white light flashed.

Ye Tian, carrying the 300 million points obtained from this World, disappeared into this dark World.
