Departure, Hell
"Currency?"
Dup received Andres's Soul Transmission and replied with a smile, "Master, in Hell, transactions are usually conducted using Godhead or divine artifacts."
"Use Godhead and divine artifacts?" Andres was taken aback.
"Yes, after all, these are the only two types that most gods need. Generally speaking, the lowest unit is a Lesser Artifact, a Lesser Godhead is equivalent to ten Lesser Artifacts, a Midgod Artifact is equivalent to one hundred Lesser Artifact, a Middle God godhood is equivalent to one thousand Lesser Artifact Highgod Artifact equivalent to one hundred thousand Lesser Artifact, and a Highgodhead is equivalent to one million Lesser Artifact."
"So that's how it is," Andres said, suddenly understanding.
No wonder the Space Ring of Leite and Hamid are filled with Godhead and divine artifacts.
In the original story, the currency of Hell was Ink Stone, which were created by the Sovereign, Ink Stone Ink Stone an extremely small amount of the Sovereign’s Might.
There is no Sovereign in this era, so naturally there is no Sovereign’s Might.
In the original story, a Lesser Artifact was equivalent to ten Ink Stones.
Andres roughly calculated that Hamid's various Godhead and artifacts totaled tens of millions of Ink Stone, with the bulk of them being the Highgodhead and more than a dozen Highgod Artifact.
This amount of wealth was relatively small in the original story. Generally speaking, the wealth of an ordinary Highgod is hundreds of millions of Ink Stone or even more.
However, there are relatively fewer ways to make money in this era. For example, you can't take on Fiend Mission, and you can't become a merchant without a map. The number of God-level expert is also not as many as in the original era.
Besides the wealth in Hamid's Space Ring, Andres also possessed two Highgodhead obtained from killing Hamid, one with the attribute of destruction and the other with the attribute of death, which together were worth 20 million Ink Stone.
This is Andres' current net worth.
"I wonder if it will be enough," Andres muttered to himself.
According to Dup, maps of this era are extremely valuable, and they are essential for his journey to the Skyrite Mountains. He doesn't know if his current wealth is enough to acquire a map from Iron Saber Gorge to the Skyrite Mountains.
"Dup, how many Lesser Artifacts did you use to get the map you have? If you want a larger map, how many Lesser Artifacts would you need?" Andres Soul Transmission.
"Master, there are places in Somuo City that specialize in selling maps. Mine is the largest map available, and it costs one Middle God. If you want an even larger map, you'll have to go to the Four Great Families. But I don't know exactly how many treasures you'll need to exchange for it. I'll guess it'll be very difficult. Right now, only the Four Great Families are doing business in other places, and they certainly won't give away their maps easily," Dup transmitted his voice.
Andres clicked his tongue in amazement after hearing this.
A Middle God is worth 10,000 Ink Stone, yet it can only buy such a small area of map.
He remembered that in the original story, when Linley was preparing to take on his first escort mission, he bought a book on the terrain of the entire Hell, which only cost him one hundred Ink Stone.
"It seems that getting a larger map will be quite troublesome," Andres thought to himself.
"Let's talk about it when we get to Hell. If we don't have enough to exchange for it, we'll figure something out."
He didn't dwell on it for long; after taking stock of his current wealth, he left his residence.
All the races in the Plane Prison are busy preparing for relocation. Compared to when they were relocated from the Dylan Plane to the Plane Prison, this time, the emotions of the people of all races are significantly higher.
People of all races have only been in the Plane Prison for a few decades. Most of the people who came from the Dylan Plane at that time are still alive and have not died. Naturally, they all yearn to return to their hometown.
The Human Race were also packing their things, and Yasen, along with many other Human Saint Realm, was leading the people in preparations for departure.
After Andres Divine Sense that there were many people around Yasen, he did not go to find him. Instead, he used his Divine Sense to send a telepathic message: "Yasen, come here."
Yasen was somewhat surprised when he heard Andres's telepathic message, but he didn't think much of it and immediately flew towards Andres.
"Lord Andres," Yasen said respectfully.
"Yasen, I know your God Clone was killed. What are your plans for the future?" Andres asked.
He had learned from Holan that Barnaby had once Soul Control Teresa with his soul, but Barnaby was killed by Cilia, and the Soul Control was naturally released.
After that, whether it was during the migration of various races or when Holan group were collecting the Soul Essence of the Dylan Plane, there was no trace of Teresa.
Andres estimated that Teresa had already used the Teleportation Array to travel to the Supreme Plane.
If Yasen's Godhead can be reclaimed, Yasen's original form can be refined again. Although he will no longer be able to cultivate other laws, he will still be considered Independent godhood. However, once Teresa leaves, Yasen's Godhead will basically be lost forever.
Yasen smiled bitterly, "My forte is the Wind Elemental Law, but now I can no longer cultivate it. I estimate that I will never become a god again. In the future, I plan to teach more Human Race geniuses, hoping that a new Godhood will emerge from among them."
Andres flipped his hand and took out two wind-attribute Godhead, one a Lesser Godhead and the other a Middle God.
He currently has quite a few Godhead in his Space Ring. Although he still needs to save them to exchange for maps, the bulk of his wealth comes from Highgodhead and Highgod Artifact. These Lesser Godhead and Middle God are just a small fraction, so it doesn't matter if he uses some of them.
"Yasen, here is a Lesser Godhead and a Middle God, both of the wind element. After you refine them, you will become Middle God." Andres handed over the Godhead.
"This..." Yasen was stunned in shock.
Andres laughed and said, "What? You don't want it?"
Yasen took a deep breath to calm himself down and said, "I won't pretend. Why wouldn't I want to become a god again?"
Yasen accepted the two Godhead, and even though he tried his best to control himself, there was still some excitement in his eyes.
Thank you.
"You're too kind. Alright, hurry up and refine it," Andres said with a smile.
Refine Divine Spark requires comprehending the Godhead Law Profundity. Although it is much simpler than comprehending it on one's own, it still takes some time.
Andres gave the Godhead to Yasen so that the Human Race would have a leader to rely on. He was going to find the Four Divine Beasts and venture into Hell, and he couldn't stay in the Dylan Plane or Iron Saber Gorge forever. After Yasen became Middle God, the Human Race would have someone to rely on.
As Yasen secluded himself to Refine Divine Spark, the relocation of various races was also proceeding in an orderly manner.
Oga City, the former Mitchell Duke Mansion had fallen into disrepair.
The castle towers, once neglected, are now dilapidated and covered in vines. Some buildings have even collapsed, and the interior of the mansion is overgrown with weeds, with small animals occasionally seen roaming around.
"I'm finally back." Alex looked at the familiar scenes and was filled with emotion.
At this time, the main forces of various tribes had not yet begun to relocate, but Andres returned first with the Mitchell Family.
The family's descendants and servants were busy cleaning the mansion, while Andres and Alex strolled around the mansion together, reliving the scenes from the past.
"If my father and mother were alive today, they would be so happy," Alex sighed.
Upon their return, they moved Raul and Helen's remains to the family ancestral hall for burial, thus fulfilling Raul's dying wish.
"Brother, are you going to that Hell or something?" Alex asked Andres.
Alex is now over a hundred years old, and his face shows signs of aging. He doesn't look like a contemporary of Andres at all.
Although Andres really wanted to help him reach the Saint Domain, there was really no way to do so at the moment.
Cultivation is related to the soul. Although the Soul Gold Bead can enhance the strength of the soul, it can only enhance it to the individual's limit and cannot break through the upper limit.
Alex's talent is not up to the Saint Domain. Even if he absorbs the Soul Gold Bead, he cannot raise his soul to the Saint Domain level. When his soul reaches its limit, it cannot be raised any higher, and absorbing Soul Gold Bead will have no effect.
Unless he experiences a miraculous Soul Mutation like Leighton, thus raising his potential.
But at present, it is impossible.
"Yes, we're preparing to leave in the next couple of days," Andres said.
"How long will it take you to get back?" Alex asked.
Andres opened his mouth, but then stopped himself from speaking.
Alex will live for at most another hundred years before his life ends. A hundred years is too short for Hell, and he may not have the chance to return to the Dylan Plane.
His departure may very well be the final farewell between the two brothers.
Andres couldn't help but feel a little reluctant to part with it.
Alex seemed to have guessed something as well. He lowered his head and remained silent for a while before forcing a smile, "Brother, I've heard Lord Yasen and the others say that Hell is a much larger world, with countless powerful beings there. There are many experts among the Demigod and Middle God. You are a genius, you should go to that kind of stage."
He looked around at every tree and blade of grass in the Mitchell Duke Mansion and said, "In the past, my father and mother often told me that our Mitchell Family is where it is today thanks to you, my elder brother."
Alex suddenly took a step back, spread his arms, looked down at himself, and laughed, "Big brother, look at me now, dressed in fine clothes. Even in the Life Elf Race, those Saint Realm expert and Demigod- level experts would give me some face. I married the wife I wanted and live the most respected life. All of this is thanks to you, brother. I am truly grateful to you."
Alex's eyes were sincere as he bid farewell to Andres.
Andres stepped forward, and the two brothers embraced tightly.
Two days later, several streaks of light pierced the sky and landed on the shore of an island in the eastern ocean of the Dylan Plane. There, four mysterious and complex Teleportation Array emitted a hazy light.
As the light faded, it revealed Andres, Leighton, and Dup.
"Grown ups."
Holan and a dozen other Middle God had been waiting there. When they saw Andres arrive, they hurriedly came out to greet him.
"Let's go, to Hell," Andres said.
He has made the final arrangements in the past few days.
He will take Leighton and Dup with him on his trip to Hell, but Leighton's Fire God Clone will remain to protect the Mitchell Family.
Leighton's Fire God Clone has just broken through to become Middle God these past two days. With him around, the Mitchell Family will not be in any danger in the Dylan Plane.
He will also leave two of Holan's Middle God behind. These two people have two tasks: one is to bring Saint Domain or God-level expert who want to go to Hell to Iron Saber Gorge.
Many of the Saint Domain and God-level expert of various races have considered cultivating in Hell, but at this time, their races have not yet completed their migration and they are temporarily unable to leave.
The second task is to prevent a recurrence of an incident like Hamid's.
If any beings from the Supreme Plane come to the Dylan Plane, they can use the Token of the agreement to persuade them to retreat.
Even if someone were to take strong action, whether it be them or Leighton's Fire God Clone, they could contact Iron Saber Gorge immediately and return to provide support.
After making these preparations, Andres felt reassured enough to set off to venture into Hell.
"Let's go."
Andres and the others stepped into the Teleportation Array leading to Hell. In a burst of dreamlike light, their figures gradually distorted and then disappeared.
Hell, the Purple Thorn Continent.
A scythe-like, purple, cold moon hung high in the sky, emitting a hazy, eerie purple moonlight that covered the boundless world below.
"Splash!"
Dark waves crashed against the cliff, which was ten thousand meters high, again and again. The cliff was straight up and down, as if cut by a knife, and its surface was as smooth as a mirror.
As soon as Andres emerged from the Teleportation Array, he saw this scene and immediately recognized it as the Teleportation Array of the Purple Thorn Continent — Mirror Moon Cliff.
When teleported from the Material Plane to Hell, they would randomly appear at one of seven Teleportation Array. Their luck was average; they were not directly teleported to Iron Saber Gorge.
Beside the Teleportation Array, two burly men were on guard. As soon as they saw the Teleportation Array light up, they immediately notified their companions nearby to be on high alert.
There were more than a dozen people, including Andres, each of whom was Middle God. As soon as they appeared, the expressions of the God-level expert at Mirror Moon Cliff changed.
Since the appearance of the Plane Teleportation Array, life forms from the Material Plane have been teleported here from time to time, but they have never seen so many come at once.
Just as the leading Middle God was about to ask a question, he saw that Holan had already taken out the agreement Token.
"Sorry, brothers, we're just passing through and need to teleport again," Holan said.
Upon seeing the Token, all the God-level expert relaxed. The leader waved his hand, and a Demigod restarted the Teleportation Array, sending Andres and the others back to the Dylan Plane.
After being teleported for the third time, they finally arrived at Iron Saber Gorge.
"My lord, this is Iron Saber Gorge."
Emerging from the Plane Teleportation Array, Holan began to introduce himself to Andres.
Andres surveyed the canyon, which resembled an iron blade. Many Middle God and Demigod were already respectfully waiting for Andres within.
They were all Hamid's men, and now they are Andres's men.
Holan had informed them in advance to wait there.
"My lord, there is something I need to report to you." Holan lowered his head, his expression solemn.
"Go ahead and say it," Andres, noticing Holan's expression and thinking it might be a troublesome matter.
Holan said in a deep voice, "My lord, as you know, we were all originally controlled by Hamid's Soul Control. After Hamid was killed by you, the Middle God in Iron Saber Gorge regained their freedom. Some of them are willing to stay and serve you, but others have already left."
"Leave?"
Andres's expression changed; he understood why Holan's expression was so serious.
These people leaving will likely spread the news of the Plane Teleportation Array.
