The name "Black Hell" predates its use as a place of imprisonment by a considerable margin.
It is said that when the Dees Family first discovered this place dozens of epochs ago, they found that the spacetime rules of this star field were chaotic. Once trapped inside, one could not escape, so it was named "Black Cage," or simply "Black Hell."
Later, the ancestors of the Dees Family discovered that this star field was the original birthplace of the Space-Time Scepter, and only with the permission of the Space-Time Scepter could one freely enter and leave this star field.
Many eras later, when a celestial elder of the Dees Family was advancing in rank, he was invaded by a demon, went mad, and slaughtered his own kind. He was then suppressed by a coalition of forces.
Because the elder was a Direct Lineage member of the family and possessed formidable Combat Strength, killing him would be a waste, so he was sent to the Black Hell for imprisonment. Afterwards, the Black Hell became a place of exclusive confinement for family members who had committed offenses.
As a Direct Lineage descendant of the family, Hake was captured and imprisoned here immediately.
A massive black spaceship was sailing through the Black Hell, carrying Gu Ding and his group, along with their guide, Belanger.
"The spacetime rules of the Black Hell are very special. Not only is spatial teleportation impossible here, but even spatial jumps are forbidden. You can only fly, otherwise you'll be caught in the spacetime turbulence," Belanger said, turning to Gu Ding from the driver's seat.
"This Black Hell contains over 300 billion stars, and its spacetime rules are chaotic, making it impossible to determine which planet Hake is on." The Sea Emperor's voice quickly reached Gu Ding's ears. Still distrustful of Belanger, he activated the scanning system upon entering the area. After a detailed investigation, he arrived at a less than optimistic conclusion.
"Is the Black Hell so vast that all the prisoners are imprisoned on the same planet?" Gu Ding asked Belanger.
"No, each planet can only hold one prisoner. The restriction effect of the Space-Time Scepter is applied directly to the planet and is centrally encrypted and managed by an advanced intelligent system. Each time a prisoner needs to be imprisoned, a planet is encrypted. Only those who enter the correct password will be exempt from the restriction."
"Those who wish to access the site must apply to the intelligent system. The application is reviewed by our family's Elder Council and requires approval from at least two Elder Council. Only after approval will they receive a dynamic password. However, this password is not given to us; instead, the system directly matches it, and only after a match is found can access be granted."
"When applying for access, you must specify the access time. Once the access time ends, the system will match the exit password again. Once the exit channel is opened, you must leave the planet within one minute, otherwise the password will become invalid, and the visitor will also be subject to the spacetime restriction effect of the planet, making it impossible to move around."
"If visitors fail to leave in time, they will also become imprisoned. To leave again, they can only wait for someone from the Elder Council to personally intervene and enter Release Password into the advanced system. The planet containing the Release Password will also be automatically destroyed, and only then will the imprisoned person be released."
"According to you, the intelligent system has three types of passwords: Access Entry Password, Access Exit Password, and Release Password. What we need most is the Release Password. Only with the Release Password can Hake be released." Gu Ding quickly concluded.
"Not only do I need to Release Password, but Belanger also needs to submit an access request. Only after obtaining the Access Entry Password can I see the cryptographic rules of their intelligent system. If I try to hack in directly without a foothold, it will take a lot of time. Furthermore, a mature, advanced AI is not easy to deal with; it will definitely alert the police immediately if it is hacked. This place is very close to the headquarters of the Dees Family, so the Dees Family's celestials will probably arrive very soon," Sea Emperor reminded Gu Ding.
After listening, Gu Ding immediately added to Belanger, "Of course, to obtain the Release Password, I will need you to submit an access request. If I can obtain the Access Entry Password, I can deduce the password operation rules, which will save me a lot of time."
"I understand. I'll submit the application now. I expect to get a result in about ten minutes." Belanger said, turning on his Smart Watch, quickly filling out a form, and submitting it.
Less than two minutes later, Belanger's watch suddenly rang.
He glanced down at his watch and saw it was a video call. He quickly waved to Gu Ding, "Gu Ding, find a place to hide. It's a video call from the Second Elder."
Gu Ding darted out of the cockpit, leaving only Belanger behind.
Belanger then started the call, and the other party's video projection quickly appeared, showing a Middle-Aged Man with gray hair and beard.
"Belanger, the plan for dealing with Hake has already been decided, and you don't need to go and interrogate him anymore. If you're going to request a visit now, you need to give me a reasonable reason, otherwise I will have to refuse." The Second Elder naturally knew that Belanger would not hold back during his previous interrogation of Hake. After all, Hake was a Direct Lineage member of the family. Now that the plan for dealing with him had been decided, there was no need for Belanger to continue playing the interrogation game.
"Second Elder, I know. I'm going there to apologize to Hake. The previous interrogation may have been a bit too harsh. Although it was necessary for the job, he and I are, after all, brothers, and an apology is very necessary." Belanger blurted out the words he had prepared beforehand, having already anticipated that this application might be rejected.
The Second Elder frowned slightly upon hearing this. "I don't know what you're planning, and I don't want to know. But don't forget, Hake is also a member of our Direct Lineage bloodline. If something really happens to him and it's found that you're involved, you won't escape the corresponding punishment. This time I can turn a blind eye and let you go, whatever you want to do, but this is a one-time exception!"
"I understand." Belanger nodded respectfully.
The video call quickly ended, and Belanger finally let out a long sigh of relief. The cold sweat on his back wasn't from the Second Elder's warning, but from the fact that he had to do his best to conceal the truth. Hiding the truth from a god far more powerful than himself was clearly no easy task, but fortunately, the other party didn't delve into it.
Not long after, Belanger's communicator rang again, this time with the news that his visit request had been approved.
After informing Gu Ding and his group of the news, the spaceship soon arrived above the planet where Hake was imprisoned...
