Even with the Eye of Cause and Effect, Shen Hao could not make out the blurry figure.
However, he was certain that the person was indeed the Lord of the Netherworld.
His appearance was related to the Lord of the Netherworld, which didn't surprise him too much. He had long suspected that the Lord of the Netherworld was on the same side.
This only further confirms this hypothesis.
Through the Eye of Cause and Effect, he saw many things.
The Netherworld and the real world are two sides of the same coin, the Netherworld being the world where souls go after death.
Once upon a time, the Lord of the Netherworld was also human; he was born in a very distant ancient time.
Those were times of frequent wars and widespread poverty. People often went hungry and had to endure the exploitation of noble lords, making life extremely difficult.
Some legends are told in his hometown.
If a person does good deeds throughout their life, they will be reincarnated after death and will be born into a wealthy family in their next life.
But if a person does evil throughout their life, they will fall into hell after death and suffer for eternity.
The suffering that everyone encounters in this life is due to the sins of their past lives. Everything in this life is merely a way of atoning for those sins, and we must accept it with equanimity.
Every wealthy person is able to enjoy everything in this life because of the good deeds they accumulated in their previous life.
These legends were a comfort to their hard lives; almost everyone believed them, and so did he.
Therefore, he did good deeds and accumulated virtue throughout his life, never committing evil. No matter how those noble lords oppressed and whipped him, he endured it all silently, considering it as an act of atonement.
He firmly believed that as long as he endured suffering and accumulated merit, he would eventually be reborn as a wealthy person.
In those war-torn times, human life was as worthless as grass; to survive, one had to resort to any means necessary.
Under the relentless exploitation of the nobles, people's lives became increasingly difficult. Some resorted to theft to survive, some were forced to become bandits in the mountains, and some shouted, "Are kings and nobles born with special privileges?" and raised their swords against the nobles...
Everyone is rebelling against the injustice of fate.
He remained untainted by the madness of those around him, believing that they had abandoned their faith and their atonement, and that they would ultimately fall into hell.
Regardless of external circumstances, he remained steadfast in his beliefs and accepted all the hardships he faced with equanimity.
Nothing could break his unwavering resolve.
He believed that, based on his merits, he would surely be reborn as a nobleman.
At that time, he will have the power to change the world.
Not long after, he starved to death in poverty, but a smile remained on his lips before he died.
Because he believed that he would definitely experience reincarnation and become a noble person in his next life.
His soul entered the Netherworld, and only then did he realize that he had been deceived and that his entire life had been blinded by lies.
There is no reincarnation, no hell, nothing at all.
It doesn't matter whether you were a great philanthropist or a great villain in your life.
Nobody cares about these things.
The so-called reincarnation is nothing more than a lie fabricated by nobles to maintain their authority, to justify their oppression of commoners, and to prevent unruly people from rebelling.
There is nothing in the afterlife; if one had to describe it, it would still be endless suffering.
Souls that enter this place are always at risk of becoming food for those extraordinary beings in the Netherworld.
He was no exception, even though he did good deeds throughout his life.
His faith crumbled; what he had upheld his entire life turned out to be an absurd lie, and he felt utterly deceived.
Faced with the danger before him and the chaotic world of the dead, he felt anger, but he did not despair.
Since there is no order in this world, he will establish order.
Since there is no such thing as reincarnation, he will create one.
From then on, he changed. He was no longer simply kind, and he no longer expected gifts from fate. He wanted to get everything he wanted through his own efforts.
He began his killing spree, devouring souls like himself and growing stronger with each passing moment.
Countless years have passed, and through countless battles of life and death, he has become the most powerful being in the Netherworld.
He also remained true to his original aspiration and began to change the world.
He fulfilled his promise.
He established the Land of Reincarnation, allowing kind souls to be reborn in the Netherworld, while condemning evil souls to eternal damnation.
And he became a true god.
Through those causal threads, Shen Hao learned about some of the experiences of the Lord of the Netherworld.
From his initial ignorance to his later transformation, his life can be described as magnificent and eventful.
However, Shen Hao could only see parts of the events before the Lord of the Netherworld became a god; he could not see what happened afterward through the Eye of Cause and Effect.
Shen Hao still doesn't know how He died.
According to those players, the death of the Lord of the Netherworld was related to a god from another world, and that god was about to descend upon this world.
But this world could not accommodate two gods, so He killed the Lord of the Netherworld.
However, the Lord of the Netherworld still holds Lord of the Netherworld Divine Authority, and this world will continue to be influenced by his rules.
The purpose of this game is to cultivate a group of powerful players who will gradually destroy the Divine Authority of the Lord of the Netherworld.
When the Divine Authority of the Lord of the Netherworld is gone, that Supreme Will can descend upon this world.
The top human players already know about this; they are accomplices of that god who descended to this world.
They were welcoming the arrival of that deity.
But Shen Hao couldn't let that happen; if it did, he would probably be killed too.
Even if he wasn't killed, he couldn't accept the existence of a god above him.
He's Demon; if he can't do whatever he wants, is he still Demon?
Regardless of what promises the deity made to those people, whether they would bring disaster or benefit to humanity, he would prevent it from happening.
A new order will be born in the Netherworld, but no new gods will emerge.
This seems to be the wish of the Lord of the Netherworld, but he did not make this decision because of the Lord of the Netherworld.
It is his own will, what he wants to do.
Next, he continued to use the Three Lives Stone and the Eye of Cause and Effect to examine the past, hoping to find clues related to Demons.
However, no clues about Demons ever appeared on the Three Lives Stone.
Perhaps matters concerning Demons have exceeded the limits of the Three Lives Stone.
He could see the causal threads related to Demons, but he couldn't see the contents within them.
Clearly, his predecessor's power far surpassed his own, and he was still unable to glimpse anything related to him.
However, he was certain that the Demon was related to the Lord of the Netherworld and was an existence no less powerful than the Lord of the Netherworld.
In fact, those Demigods of the Netherworld should know something about Demons and the Lord of the Netherworld, but he disdained to ask.
Moreover, he trusted his own findings more than what others said.
Shen Hao left here, intending to take a trip through those hellish places.
He was quite interested in those hellish places, which could enrich his Demon Domain.
In the future, we hope to receive more five-star reviews from players.
