Gu Zang's Arrangements

Upon hearing the howl coming from the Eighteenth Level, the three Order Keeper Leader had just calmed down stumbled in mid-air and almost fell to the ground.

A normal person would do a prison break secretly, afraid of being found out. But that man seemed to have no such awareness whatsoever, and just shouted it out loud as if he wanted everyone to know.

Inside the Gate of Purgatory, everyone except those who hadn't yet woken up probably heard it. His shout, unlike before, lacked any shockwave. But one poor wretch who had only been awake for two minutes was startled by the sound, and like a frightened bird, he coughed up blood and fainted again.

The three Order Keeper' expressions changed drastically. They quickly opened the passage, returned to the original seventeenth floor, and flew towards the entrance to the Eighteenth Level.

Looking down into the abyss, the leader spoke again, "Senior, what is this...?"

"There are two more people on the seventeenth floor, come on over." The voice of the man on the eighteenth floor reached the ears of the other two people on the seventeenth floor.

A moment later, two more figures appeared at the entrance to the eighteenth floor. These two were prisoners of the Gate of Purgatory, and they were no strangers to the three Order Keeper Leader.

Upon arrival, the two bowed slightly towards the abyss below, saying, "Senior..."

"Anyone above the seventeenth floor, I'll kill them all." The man's voice boomed again, causing the warden, who had been trying to investigate what was happening below, to abruptly stop in his tracks.

The man changed the subject and said to the five people, "You five, come down."

The five men felt a sudden surge of unease. As they hesitated, a terrifying force of attraction came from the bottom of the abyss. A terrifying vortex rose from the darkness, and the five men, like scraps of paper in a storm, lost their footing and were swallowed up by the vortex.

In the vortex, the five people were like a small boat swallowed by a tsunami, struggling to escape, but to no avail. They could only watch helplessly as their figures were pulled into the endless darkness.

"Are we going to be killed?" This thought flashed through the minds of almost all five of them at the same time.

They didn't know how much time had passed before the five of them felt their feet touch the ground, and the pulling force of the terrifying vortex finally disappeared.

Only then did they see a man not far away, his entire body bound to a black iron frame by thick black chains, with only his head showing.

This was the first time in their lives they had ever seen the true appearance of the man on the Eighteenth Level. He was completely different from the ferocious monster they had imagined; instead, he was a very handsome man with a warm smile...

"Senior...?" A burly man spoke somewhat uncertainly, his tone carrying a hint of doubt. His name was Basaka, and he was a prisoner held here. He had received guidance from Gu Zang, so he was a little bolder than the others.

"The purpose of pulling you down is very simple." Gu Zang smiled as he looked at the five people in front of him. Under their gaze, the black chains on his body began to automatically disintegrate one by one.

As they watched the chain rapidly disintegrate, all five of them couldn't help but swallow hard, their hearts pounding wildly.

"As I said, I'm going to break out of prison, so I have some things to ask of you five. Although you are all as weak as trash, you are still among the best in this branch of the human race. I can't find any better options in the short term." As he spoke, all the chains on Gu Zang broke down, and he walked towards the five people by stepping on the void.

The five Strongest Kings of the Tenth Sequence could clearly sense that after the seal was completely broken, the aura of the man in front of them was like a Great Universe Sea, and they were just a grain of sand in this Universe Sea.

Under the oppressive aura, the five people couldn't even move a finger. They felt as if the whole world had completely frozen, and they couldn't even breathe. They could only watch helplessly as the man got closer and closer.

But with each step Gu Zang took, his aura diminished. When he was less than two meters away from the five people, his terrifying aura was completely absorbed into his body.

All five of them were panting heavily, not because they needed oxygen, but because the terrifying pressure they had just experienced forced them to breathe deeply to alleviate their fear.

"What can we do for you, senior?" The first to speak was the burly man from before, his eyes filled with admiration. He had previously broken through from Conferred King to the Strongest King thanks to a single word of guidance from this man, and he had always been very grateful.

"My name is Gu Zang, and my son's name is Gu Ding," the man said, his gaze sweeping over the five people present.

"Gu Ding? The boy who was imprisoned today?" The leading Order Keeper Leader asked in surprise, not expecting that Gu Ding had such a powerful background.

"That's right, it's that kid." Gu Zang's lips curled up slightly when he talked about his son, and he immediately felt a sense of joy.

"What does the senior need us to do? Should we let him go?" Order Keeper Leader's expression was slightly unpleasant. If they were released right after capturing him, the reputation of the Gate of Purgatory would likely suffer greatly.

"Let him leave? If I want to take him away, who among you can stop me?" Gu Zang looked coldly at the three Order Keeper Leader.

All three lowered their heads. The fact that the other party had just dragged the five of them down to the Eighteenth Level proved that he could crush them with just one finger.

"The first thing is that my relationship with Gu Ding is only known to the five of you. If any of you dare to reveal it to anyone else, I will forcibly rip your souls out, completely stripping you of the right to enter reincarnation, and subjecting your souls to eternal torment." Gu Zang's words terrified the group. He glanced at the five and continued, "Not only that, I will also slaughter your entire human branch, leaving no one alive in the Universe Sea of Human Race Camp in this plane. Do you understand?!"

Upon hearing this, the five men trembled with cold sweat, their hearts filled with utter shock, and they nodded repeatedly. They had no doubt that the man before them possessed such strength.

After speaking, the man stretched out one hand, and five Black Radiance shot out from his fingertips, directly entering the brains of the five men. The five men had no time to dodge, nor did they dare to dodge at all.

"Don't worry, I just set up some restrictions in your Soul Space to prevent anyone from probing this part of your memories. It won't have any other effects," Gu Zang explained when he saw that the five of them looked a little pale.

"The second thing is that although Gu Ding is my son, do not give him any special privileges in this Gate of Purgatory. He must earn everything himself. You just need to keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't perish. As for his injuries, you don't need to worry about them."

"The third thing is that Gu Ding wants to leave the Gate of Purgatory within three years. I will leave something in the Eighth Level of the Gate of Purgatory. As long as he defeats all the First Sequence true gods in the Eighth Level and obtains that thing, you can let him leave. If he does not meet my requirements within three years, do not let him leave."

"The fourth thing is that I will leave a drop of the Third Sequence Heavenly God's Profound Blood in this Eighteenth Level. The pressure of that drop of Profound Blood is enough to temper your cultivation. Whoever is the first to collect that drop of Profound Blood will own it."

As Gu Zang spoke, he opened his palm, and a thumb-sized orange crystal bead, radiating a mesmerizing glow, floated from the void into his hand. A transparent cube-shaped barrier automatically formed in Gu Zang's hand, sealing the orange crystal bead within.

"This barrier will automatically disintegrate after I leave. At that time, the divine pressure contained within the Xuan Blood will be released."

The five people were dumbfounded. They had heard that the blood of the gods was solid, but they never expected it to be condensed into crystal beads.

"I only have these four things to say. If you have any questions, just ask. Don't wait until I'm gone to think about them, or it will be too late," Gu Zang said, looking at the five people in front of him.

"Junior Basaka is willing to follow Senior." Basaka actually knelt down on one knee and looked at Gu Zang with sincere eyes.

"Junior Lossem is also willing to follow in the footsteps of his senior." Upon seeing this, another prisoner immediately knelt down as well.

"You're too weak, let's not talk about this anymore." Gu Zang waved his hand, and the two of them stood up.

Basaka wanted to say something, but when he saw Gu Zang's disapproving look, he lowered his head.

"Senior, you said before that you and Gu Ding's father-son relationship cannot even be told to Gu Ding?" The leading Order Keeper Leader asked.

"I said I can't tell anyone, including Gu Ding."

"There's another matter. The vast majority of people in this Gate of Purgatory are super geniuses. Even though the Eighth Level only imprisons First Sequence True Gods, it's possible that there are a few who have reached the Third Sequence, or even approached the Fourth Sequence of True Gods. If the trial you gave Gu Ding is only to help him reach the Combat Strength of First Sequence True God, it would be safer to place the trial on the Seventh Layer," Order Keeper Leader reminded him.

"I know who's on the Eighth Level; they deliberately placed the trial point Eighth Level." Gu Zang nodded. "Any other questions?"

The five people looked at each other and shook their heads.

Gu Zang twitched his fingers slightly, and a Black Radiance shot out from his fingertip, directly crossing the void like a meteorite, falling into the Eighth Level of the Gate of Purgatory, causing a violent tremor in the Eighth Level.

"The item on the Eighth Level can only be attempted by those whose cultivation level is below the Second Sequence True God. If someone completes the acquisition before Gu Ding, you do not need to stop them."

As the words fell, Gu Zang's figure gradually faded away, and his aura completely disappeared within the Gate of Purgatory...

On the Eighteenth Level, cracks began to appear rapidly in the barrier surrounding the orange crystal bead, emanating a terrifying pressure. Even a mere wisp of that pressure carried an overwhelming sense of dominance, causing the five powerful figures to hastily flee towards the seventeenth level above...

On the Eighth Level, as if a meteor had fallen, stood a Black Stone Tablet nearly ten meters tall, its surface swirling with black mystical patterns, emanating waves of terrifying pressure that surged forth like a tide... r1152
