Gonggong pointed into the void, and a great void path appeared within the chaos.
Li Ran immediately followed.
"What kind of place is Nine Springs? Why is it beneath Mount Buzhou?" Li Ran asked.
Gonggong moved through the void path with his serpent tail. His bearing was immensely towering, as majestic and imposing as either a Demon King or a God King.
"At the very beginning, Nine Springs beneath Mount Buzhou was the passage connecting the underworlds of the Human Clan and the Demon Clan."
"After death, the ultimate destination of Human Clan and Demon Clan living beings was beneath these Nine Springs."
God King Gonggong's words left Li Ran somewhat shocked.
He knew there was a Palace of Ghosts and Gods in the Dark Sea Northern Region, which seemed to serve a similar purpose to the underworld.
The continent of the God Clan corresponded to the eighteen levels of hell.
Were the souls of Humans and Demons sent to the underworld beneath Nine Springs after death?
"The great flood four thousand years ago was actually closely related to this black evil mist," Gonggong said.
Li Ran was startled. "The flood was man-made?"
"Yes. A massive tsunami suddenly arose in the Xiling South Sea. The flood submerged half of the Human Clan's land. At first, everyone merely believed it was a natural disaster, that the Human Clan was suffering divine retribution."
"But that was not the truth."
"The earthquake in the Xiling South Sea was artificially caused, and countless dark evil creatures surged from the seabed tectonic plates," Gonggong said.
Li Ran frowned deeply and said gravely, "Then there's no doubt about it. Indra must have done it."
He guessed that Indra had encountered obstacles everywhere among the Human Clan at the time, and his development had been extremely unsuccessful.
