God Realm Is a Prison, the Miserable Gods!

"Wait, I have a question." Huo Yuhao calmly watched the Tide of Darkness, which was besieging the Core Sacred Hall, gradually recede as the magic array lost its controller. He interrupted Kaecilius's sermon.

Kaecilius pursed his lips. "You say."

"You asked me earlier if I remembered my original intention for entering the Sacred Hall. Now I want to ask you, why did you join the Sacred Hall in the past?"

Kaecilius was silent for a moment, then said, "I... lost my wife and daughter in a disaster."

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow. "So, you said you defected to Dormammu because you saw the Dark Dimension Mark on Venerable Gu Yi's head. Then I ask you, can Dormammu revive your wife and daughter?"

"Didn't you join the Sacred Hall to resurrect your wife and daughter? Why has it changed now? Do you think letting Dormammu in and devouring reality will bring your wife and daughter back?"

"No, it won't," Kaecilius replied calmly. "But we who have entered the Dark Dimension have witnessed more and realized our past foolishness. We are no longer limited by our past pursuits."

"Dormammu is a generous and selfless savior. What Venerable Gu Yi stingily withheld from us, Dormammu will generously grant!"

His panda eyes gleamed with fanaticism, and his voice involuntarily rose. "The pursuit of eternity is the instinct of life, but the most cruel part of reality is that life is difficult to be eternal. Even worlds have an end!"

"What has passed cannot be retrieved, but more things that still exist can be saved!"

"From the majority to the minority! From the minority to the sole!"

Kaecilius looked at Huo Yuhao with sincere eyes and said earnestly, "Dormammu is the sole one! And the Dark Dimension transcends time, transcends death! It is the domain of eternity!"

"We are not trying to drag everyone to death! We are making the universe a part of Dormammu! A part of eternity! Then all things will exist eternally! Everyone will achieve eternal life!"

"We are not evil, nor do we want to destroy the world. On the contrary, we are here to save this world that is destined to be destroyed by time, to save those lives that are destined to meet death!"

Speaking of this, Kaecilius forced a kind expression onto his sinister face and extended his hand to Huo Yuhao. "Master Huo, join us! Let us save this universe together!"

"Wait, I have another question." Huo Yuhao rejected Kaecilius's proposal and asked, "You think the past cannot be retrieved. Have you considered the path of becoming a god or an immortal?"

(Note: The Three Ghosts wrote "Only I Am the Immortal" and mentioned the existence of cultivation in other books. All the worlds he wrote are in the same worldview, and the immortal realm is similar in nature to the God Realm.)

"As far as I know, gods and immortals exist eternally. With your abilities, reaching godhood should not be difficult, right? Why be so extreme? Perhaps there are beings in the universe who do not desire eternity?"

Kaecilius stared at Huo Yuhao for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "Master Huo, your strength and talent are truly outrageous, to the point that I forgot you are a newcomer who only joined the Sacred Hall a year ago."

"Your focused study makes you unaware of some almost common-sense things..."

"The so-called gods are not truly immortal. They can die if killed, and their lifespan is not infinite."

Speaking of this, Kaecilius recalled. "Master Huo, you are from that planet called Dou... Dou Po, right?"

Huo Yuhao corrected him. "Not Dou Po, it's Douluo."

"It doesn't matter," Kaecilius snorted. "To the mortals on that planet, becoming a god means eternal life. But in reality, one day in the God Realm is one year in the lower realm. The flow of time is different. If ten thousand years pass in the lower realm, less than thirty years will have passed in the God Realm."

"The so-called God Level can have a lifespan of a thousand years in the lower realm. As for powerful mages, if they don't use spells that require a price, they can also have a lifespan of a thousand years. It's just that they have to keep depleting their lifespan because they have to protect this universe."

"Gods who ascend to the God Realm will have a lifespan of ten thousand years. Ten thousand years in the God Realm is equivalent to millions of years in the mortal world. So, from a mortal's perspective, those so-called gods seem to be immortal."

"And do you think the so-called God Realm is a good place?" Kaecilius gave a mocking smile. "I can tell you, it's a desolate and lonely prison!"

"I've seen the God Realm that ascended from Douluo Star. Ninety-nine percent of its territory is a dead ruin. The only source of water is in the Divine Beast Forest. Have you ever seen so-called gods fighting desperately for a drop of pure water, for a bite to eat?"

Seeing Huo Yuhao's surprised expression, Kaecilius took out a cup, and a cup of clear tea appeared out of thin air. "The gods, who are almost omnipotent in the eyes of the world, actually find it difficult to eat and drink in the God Realm. Isn't that ridiculous?"

"They can't even create a drop of pure water or a palatable meal with their divine power," Kaecilius said, and a fragrant roast chicken leg appeared in his other hand.

After the demonstration, Kaecilius casually threw away the clear tea and chicken leg in his hands and asked, "Master Huo, do you think such gods, such longevity, have any meaning?"

"Oh, right. I also saw a god in that God Realm who seemed to have a blood relation to you, named Dai Mubai."

"He spends his days digging and planting vegetables in the God Realm, then fights with divine beasts in the Divine Beast Forest for a little water to water his crops, and finally fights over water mixed with feces and urine..."

"There's also one called God of Food Oscar. He's self-sealed because he can create sausages. So, all sorts of gods went to him, coercing and tempting him to eat his sausages. He couldn't stand it and chose to self-seal."

"Actually, many mages and I find it strange. What are those people working so hard to cultivate and ascend for? To go up there and suffer for ten thousand years?"

Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched. He thought for a moment and said, "Alright, even so, there are ways to extend life in the Sacred Hall. Why did you have to join the Dark Dimension?"

"Kaecilius! Look at your eggplant-like face. Do you think you're normal? Being swallowed by Dormammu and digested is your pursuit of eternal life?! Can't you choose a normal method of longevity?"

"What do you call a normal method of longevity?" Kaecilius retorted impassively.

Huo Yuhao said, "There are many secret tomes in the Sacred Hall, perhaps some of them contain methods to extend life. At the very least, you could use the Eye of Agamotto to alter your own time!"

"Do you think I haven't considered it?" Kaecilius sneered. "But Venerable Gu Yi guards the Eye of Agamotto more closely than anyone! I can't break through the protective spells he set up! He also won't let me look at the books he collects!"
