"First Seat, shouldn't we leave now?"

"Now, Child of Destiny, the chosen one, has achieved all his goals."

"I'll wait..."

The Eighth Seats looked somewhat troubled and asked...

With First Seat cold face and an expressionless face, he slowly said, "Do you think we can still get out now?"

"We are not the only ones who have come to Canghai City; countless powerful individuals are already waiting outside for the outcome."

Eighth Seat frowned, looking into the depths of the Red Mist. "Then, what do we do?"

First Seat's expression grew increasingly cold as he looked at Li Chen.

"The Forbidden Door... After nearly a decade of waiting, a glimmer of hope has finally appeared."

"Once the Forbidden Door is opened, this world will come to End, and everything will restart, returning to its origin."

Li Chen frowned. What exactly was going on with this Evil Cult?

Everyone seems to have a different opinion on this Forbidden Door. The Eighth Seat believes that the Forbidden Door supreme power, while this person sees it as a means to destroy the world, or more precisely, a cycle of reincarnation.

They want to use the Forbidden Door to travel the entire world back to the past.

But Li Chen understood that their intentions were false; the Forbidden Door didn't have such powerful functions.

Unless they can restore the Eldritch God to normal, perhaps there is still a chance.

Suddenly, a roar rang out from the sky.

A massive, Blood Hand, carrying a powerful surge of blood energy, reached out towards them.

Click~

The ground beneath their feet began to Distortion at the slightest touch, and one fleshy growth after another emerged from the cracks.

He cursed First Seat his breath.

"Damn it, the contents of this Shiva Box are almost full."

"They've started to make their move against us."

Li Chen was somewhat puzzled. They all knew what was sealed inside the Shiva Box, but he only knew that the Shiva Box contained the Six Evil Gods. What did those Six Evil Gods represent?

Eighth Seat a flick of his finger, the stones on the ground enveloped everyone, completely concealing their presence.

A heavy breathing sound came from outside.

His voice was so low and somber, it didn't sound human at all.

First Seat's expression also became serious, his hand still gripping the hilt of his knife, ready to act at any moment.

Until the eerie murmurs from the outside world ceased.

All three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

In the darkness, the three remained silent for a few seconds in the cramped space. Then, the Eighth Seat spoke up, "First Seat, that thing should have recovered to its peak. Shall we retreat?"

"So what if there are countless powerful figures outside Canghai City?"

"We are from the Calamity Realm, and yet so many of us have come!"

First Seat remained silent, though in the darkness, his eyes emitted a faint purple glow. "Is the Calamity Realm very strong?"

"So all we can do is hide here and secretly watch that monster leave?"

"This monster is like a protective shield for us; as long as it doesn't fall, no one will dare to come in."

"But the downside is that we will also be attacked indiscriminately."

The Eighth Seat's expression was solemn, and he remained silent, though he understood the meaning First Seat's words.

But is this really a good idea?

Hiding in this city that has been overrun by monsters is far too dangerous.

Even they were just caught in a sudden attack.

Moreover, they belong to Evil Cult, and all that awaits them is a continuous stream of people coming to attack them.

While he was still thinking...

First Seat walked up to Li Chen, narrowed his eyes to meet his gaze, and said, "Child of Destiny, you now have only two choices."

"The first thing is to tell me where the Forbidden Door is and how to open it."

"The second is that the Return of the Soul to Its Homeland."

Li Chen fell silent...

How do I answer that?

It's just a choice, isn't it? Besides, he can't exactly say the Forbidden Door is inside his body, can he?

And how would he know how to carry it out?

After a moment's thought, Li Chen slowly said, "Inside the Secret Realm."

The aura emanating from First Seat grew increasingly terrifying.

"Really?"

"Point me in a direction, and we'll head there right now."

Li Chen continued, "You won't find it; that Secret Realm has been destroyed."

"However, I can sense that the Forbidden Door has not been destroyed."

"Now I don't know the way either; I'm not a navigator."

The Eighth Seat's face darkened. "Then what's the point of you saying all this?"

"We know for certain that the Forbidden Door still exists."

That's why we need you to be the catalyst.

"Now you're telling me to wait, that you can't find it?"

Do you want to die?

Li Chen was not afraid of the two. The Evil Cult's goal was the Forbidden Door, but they did not know where it was, or even what Forbidden Door looked like.

They are nothing but impotent rage.

He didn't dare kill himself.

As long as the Forbidden Door remains hidden, Evil Cults will never be found.

However, the consequence of this is that Li Chen will guard this secret until his death.

Evil Cults are not to be trifled with.

They're still in Canghai City. If they were to reach their headquarters, Li Chen could imagine the endless torment he would suffer.

First Seat eyes narrowed slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking; he looked as if he were contemplating how to torture someone.

He suddenly spoke up, "Eighth Seat, call the Ninth Seat over."

"That guy is quite knowledgeable about souls; he can even extract memories."

Eighth Seat chuckled sinisterly, understanding the meaning in an instant.

She looked at Li Chen with a hint of pity.

Extract the soul, examine the memories.

This is something the Ninth Seats are particularly good at.

The Eighth Seat pulled out a black mobile phone from his pocket, pressed a button lightly, and dialed the Ninth Seat's number.

Beep beep~

There was no response for quite some time.

Eighth Seats frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Previously, the Sixth Seat said that the Ninth Seat had disappeared without a trace. Could he really be dead?

"First Seat Ichi, it seems that the guy from the Ninth Seat has disappeared."

He First Seat his sword and instantly cleaved the rock behind him, then walked out, his eyes cold.

"Let's go, take the Child of Destiny with us."

"Find Ninth Seats."

"We must find the location of the Forbidden Door today."

"No room for error."

The Eighth Seats nodded, and then, as usual, tied up Li Chen and took him away.

The three continued their journey through the Red Mist.

However, this street is becoming increasingly terrifying.

Horrible tumors grew everywhere, and on many corpses, fleshy flowers even bloomed.

Just as chaos erupted in Canghai City.

Located in the Imperial Capital, this Evil Cult Headquarters.

In the already empty hall, a woman wearing a black veil sat on the black throne at the very top.

She held in her hand a jet-black jewel, as dark as the Starry Sky, which seemed to emit a faint glow.

"Did you find it?"

"Have we finally caught the Child of Destiny?"

"It seems my My Lord has heard my call."

"We are finally about to see our My Lord."

"First Seat... press on a little tighter, the Meaning has already arrived."
