221 When the Underworld is the Most Vulnerable
The Seven Palaces, the palace in which seven legendary powerhouses live, is the most solid backing of the underworld, shocks almost all monsters and monsters in the world who dare not make trouble. In fact, its meaning at the beginning is very simple.
The Seven Palaces originated from the Yongyuan Pavilion, while the Yongyuan Pavilion originated from the powerful Yue Lin, a powerful man in the other world. When the first King of Hell in the underworld realized that he could not defeat this woman, at most, the ending of both sides was a loss-making one, he was actually a little distressed... about how to accommodate this visitor from the other world.
As people from other worlds, Yue Lin and the princess from other worlds who were still alive at that time were different from people in this world. They are not suitable for living in other places except for the underworld... Of course, this does not mean that they will die if they go to other places, but it will make them feel uncomfortable, so they cannot leave the underworld.
The underworld is vast and sparsely populated. It doesn’t matter if you live in one or two more visitors from another world. Not to mention two, it’s okay to have 20 to 20 to 200,000, but... the key is that Yue Lin’s strength is too strong!
As the saying goes, if you are not my race, your heart will be different. This sentence will work in any era and anywhere. If Yue Lin and the princess in another world are just two ordinary people, even if you have a different intention, you will not be able to make trouble in the underworld. However, a foreign race that is enough to fight against the King of Hell and will not be able to stay in the underworld in this way, and no matter what, it will not make people feel at ease.
What's more, before this, there were fierce battles between the two sides. In order to protect the princess from another world, Yue Lin could do anything.
It's like a tiger suddenly put in a wolf pack. Even if the tiger says it will live in peace with the wolf pack, how credible is it?
For this reason, the King of Hell was once quite distressed, until later he suddenly had an idea... Since it was a tiger living in a pack of wolves, it could not be treated as an ordinary wolf, but must have a status worthy of the tiger, and even allow him to live with the wolf king on the same level.
In this way, even a ferocious tiger should have a sense of belonging to the wolf pack, and then gradually truly integrate into the wolf pack.
I have to say that this idea is really a bit unparalleled, and it can even be said to be incredible. Elevating a foreigner to the same status as the king of the clan is even without real power, it is quite dangerous...or in other words, no king in this world would do such a stupid thing.
In fact, after proposing this idea, the top leaders of the underworld were filled with countless opposition voices, but the King of Hell was unmoved and resolutely implemented this idea. First, this was also forced to do nothing. If both sides wanted to live in peace, someone must first take a step back. Second, he believed in his own vision. He believed that a person who was willing to sacrifice his life to protect his princess was definitely worthy of his treatment. Third, why others were not King of Hell, but he was King of Hell, this is the reason.
Different meter sizes!
So soon, in the underworld, there was the Eternal Pavilion with the same status as the Hall of Hell, and the only lord of the palace in the underworld who could be on par with the King of Hell.
In short, the origin of the seven palaces was just a way to win over the peace of the underworld. However, even the King of Hell himself did not expect that such a helpless act would bring to the underworld in the future!
Of course, at the beginning, the underworld people did not truly accept eternal status. Most people thought that this was too indulgent for the people in other worlds. If the people from Eternal Pavilion were so arrogant and continued to do so, it would be a major disaster in the underworld. Therefore, although the underworld people accepted this policy on the surface, they still regarded Eternal Pavilion as an outsider in their hearts, except for a few people such as the King of Hell. More people held a distant attitude towards Eternal Pavilion, and subconsciously did not regard Eternal Pavilion as a part of the Underworld.
The opportunity for change was the first war between the demon clan and the underworld.
That battle was the most dangerous battle in the history of the underworld. Faced with the millions of demon races led by the three legendary powerhouses, the Lord of Chaos, the Demon of the Crack and the Venerable of Flower, the resistance of the Underworld seemed quite fragile, and the external defense line was almost torn apart in an instant. On the third day after the war began, a large number of demon soldiers had already attacked the Underworld.
At that moment, corpses piled up into mountains and blood flowed into rivers, and even the Santu River was dyed red.
And at this moment, the Yongyuan Pavilion, which had always been isolated by people from the underworld, appeared.
Yue Lin certainly knows what the attitude of the underworld is toward them as the King of Hell has lived in the underworld for so many years, but has not received the same respect. She certainly knows clearly what the underworld people are doing. She does not have any resentment towards these things. On the contrary, she understands the actions of the underworld people very well.
As a court attendant, Yue Lin’s task is to protect and teach the princess, and she will not directly interfere in state affairs, but that does not mean that she does not understand politics. Even in her world, she is one of the best wise men. She also knows that as a foreigner, it is not that simple to be truly accepted.
It’s not that you have strong power that the other party will accept you, but that it depends on what you have such power that you will do.
Therefore, Yuelin didn't mind the attitude of the underworld towards them. She had not made any contribution to the underworld. Of course, the underworld had no obligation to treat her like the King of Hell.
On the contrary, Yue Lin has always been grateful to the underworld.
Because she knew very well that without the help of the underworld, the princess she wanted to protect would have died because of the unacceptable environment. If she had not been in the underworld, she would have long lost this princess who was like her daughter and also lost the glory of being a waiter.
The reason why I have such a peaceful and quiet life now is because the King of Hell, who is simply impossible to see in the original world, has a broad mind like a sea. Once the ghost tribe fails in this war, the underworld changes its masters, will the leader of the newly promoted demon tribe respect and treat her like the King of Hell?
No matter how you think about it, this is impossible.
Therefore, after the war broke out, although the King of Hell did not make any demands on her, she took the initiative to take action. It was not only to repay the kindness, but also to prove herself to everyone.
In order to protect his glory, to protect the princess' safety, to maintain the environment in which he and the princess can live a stable life, and to repay the help the underworld, Yue Lin, the first master of the seven palaces, fought to the demon clan without hesitation.
Then, first defeated the demon of the gap, then defeated the Venerable of Flower, and defeated the two legendary powerhouses with one's own strength, guarded the last level of the underworld with an invincible posture, turned the tide, and saved the lives of countless people in the underworld until they lost their consciousness and were unable to fight again.
It was from that time that Yongyuanting's status in the underworld was completely changed.
People in the underworld no longer regard Eternal Pavilion as a foreign race, but... the patron saint of the underworld!
Then, the second seven palaces and the labyrinth house, the third seven palaces and dream hall, the fourth seven palaces and the earthly temple, the fifth seven palaces and the sixth seven palaces and the sixth seven palaces and the white jade building, until the last seven palaces and the long pantai of the seven palaces... Whenever a great palace is set in the underworld, the underworld will take a step further towards glory, and there will be an additional guardian of the underworld.
To this day, the original reason for the existence of the Seven Palaces has long disappeared. They have long become symbols of the entire underworld and are the support of all underworld people. They are the patron saints worthy of all underworld people.
The existence of the seven palaces also shows the invincibility of the underworld.
All the people in the underworld believe that as long as the seven palaces exist for one day, even if the end of the world comes, there will be no accident in the underworld.
This is trust, and it is also a belief.
Now, Xixing You actually proposed to abolish the Baiyu Tower. What is the difference between this and abolishing the beliefs and symbols of the underworld? Of course, the King of Hell would not agree. Even if Xixing You is gone, even if Baiyu Tower loses its master forever, the fact that Baiyu Tower is one of the seven palaces will never change!
Walking West did not force it, because even she herself knew that this request was indeed a bit too much. But to be honest, she had long been used to the Baiyulou every grass and every tree. If Baiyulou really disappeared one day, it would be a sad thing.
"But from now on, I'm afraid I will never see the cherry blossoms flying all over the sky again." Shortly after the King of Hell left, Xixing You raised his head and looked at the residence that had lived in countless years. Looking at her beautiful sky that she could never get tired of, a little sadness appeared in her eyes.
"Why are you doing it even though you know you can't do it, why are you doing it? My father."
Xixing said with a wry smile that if someone saw her expression at this moment, she would never associate her with the title "the worst, most unlucky, troublesome and lazy person in the underworld."
"If possible, I really hope it will continue..."
"Why not?" At this moment, a girl's voice sounded, and the maid Mengmeng walked from Houting with a long sword on her back. "Master, you have such a powerful force. There is nothing you can't do. Why did you say such words?"
Xixingyou did not look back, but a wry smile appeared on his face, "Is it powerful? Maybe, in Mengmeng's eyes, I am the kind of omnipotent existence, but... no matter how powerful a person in this world is, there are things that cannot be resisted."
"What?" Mengmeng asked blankly.
"Fate." Xixingyou slowly turned around, and a smile was squeezed out on his face. "Maybe it won't be revealed normally, but when the time comes, the torrent of fate will completely swallow you. No matter how unwilling you are, you can only struggle in that torrent... You may not understand now, but one day you will understand."
Mengmeng still had a little confused in her eyes. She was not a smart person. It was a bit difficult for her to understand such plausible words, but she knew that once something happened, it would be impossible to change.
For example, the decision that has been made by traveling west.
"Really... are you going to leave?" Mengmeng asked reluctantly at the familiar figure in front of her.
Xixingyou nodded, "Well, the time has come, and I can no longer delay it."
"Then... I'll go with the master too!" Mengmeng shouted immediately.
However, Xixingyou shook his head slightly and rejected her, "You can't interfere in this matter. Even I can only struggle in the torrent. If Mengmeng said that, maybe just one Liutou would disappear."
Xixingyou's tone was somewhat joking, but Mengmeng didn't find it funny at all, and just shouted, "But Mengmeng is the master's maid. How could she not be with you even though she knew that the master was going to do dangerous things?"
Xixingyou smiled gently and walked forward to caress the girl's head, "So, how can you get trapped in such a thing that even I feel dangerous?"
Mengmeng opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Xixingyou continued to say: "For the years, I have been taken care of by you, lost and when I was lost. You were the first to find me. When I was hungry, you were the one who prepared the meal for me at the first time. After the 17th Hangover, you were also busy serving us. No matter when, you were always by my side. You were always thinking about my affairs. I am really grateful to you, Mengmeng... So, there is nothing to give to me, at least keep the danger away from you."
"No...no...no..." Mengmeng was already in tears when she heard these words.
"So. Goodbye, Mengmeng..." Xixingyou gently wiped the tears from her face, her body slowly floated up, and said goodbye to him with a smile, "I made a request to the King of Hell to abolish the Baiyulou, originally to make you cut off, but after all, the beliefs of the Seven Palaces cannot be shaken. So, don't stay in Baiyulou anymore. You have already paid enough for me. In the future, let's live your own life...Farewell, my favorite Mengmeng."
In a blink of an eye, the figure who was traveling west had already flew up to the sky and became smaller and smaller.
"No! I don't want it!" Mengmeng cried while chasing the figure of Xixingyou. "If there is no master, what is the meaning of my existence? Take me along... Take me along!"
However, no matter how she shouted, the figure of Xiyou never stopped.
"I will stay in Baiyulou!" Just as the figure of the westward journey was about to disappear, Mengmeng shouted loudly, "I won't go anywhere, I will stay in Baiyulou until... until the day when the master comes back!"
As the words finished, the figure of Xiyou disappeared completely in front of Mengmeng's eyes.
Since this day, no one has ever seen the westward journey.
...
Just the day after the disappearance of Westward Journey, the King of Hell had already received the news. Standing in the spacious palace and looking at the world tree in the distance, he sighed helplessly, "First Yu Qinyi ran away from the underworld, then the demon of the gap hurt people and fled. Now, even Westward Journey has left, and Ye Zi was seriously injured, the seven palaces have lost half of it in a blink of an eye... Alas."
"A turbulent autumn." Kenzaki slowly walked to his side, and said with emotion, "Since the establishment of the Seven Palaces, although people have left the underworld from time to time, so many people have gone out together like now, and they have never happened. They feel that the sky is about to change. I hope it is just my illusion."
"I have the same feeling as you." The King of Hell nodded, "Shui Du, who was still lurking in the dark, Xiang Liu and Black Qilin who should have died, the half-body demon of the Lord of Chaos, Tianhuang, if I guessed correctly, they should have come together long ago. Although I don't know if Shui Du is one of the thirteen pillars, from the first three, even if the other ten pillars are not legendary, they should not be much different, not to mention that there are mysterious figures who command the thirteen pillars as gods by the Black Qilin, and the three major tops that are ready to move in the eighteenth floor. It really gives me a very bad feeling."
"Now, three of the seven palaces have gone away, one of them is seriously injured, Yue Lin is in seclusion, and you and I have consumed too much energy to maintain the World Tree. If the other party attacks at this time, the only combat power that can be deployed in the underworld will be the Earth God Temple and the Dream Hall... It's extremely bad."
Speaking of this, the King of Hell couldn't help but frown. Since the existence of the Seven Great Palaces, this should be the most vulnerable period in the history of the underworld.
"Why did You leave the underworld when You Xingxie left the underworld? What exactly did she do?" asked Xianqi.
The King of Hell shook his head, "I don't know. She didn't say it, and I didn't ask. Even if I asked, she wouldn't tell me. Although when I went to see her yesterday, I had a premonition that she would leave the underworld, but I didn't expect that she would leave so resolutely, so decisively, and so fast. I thought she would wait until the seventeenth time to leave, but I miscalculated it."
"This is normal. After all, she and Shiqi are the same type of people." Kenzaki said, "No matter what happens, they always like to hide the truth... Although this is a common problem for smart people, alas."
Then, she said: "Now, the combat power of the underworld is so lacking, so we should also make some preparations in advance. Unfortunately, Yan'er's success rate of Nine Death Nirvana is too low, and Xiaoye is still so young. If you want to wait until they come to support the underworld, there is no time left."
"After all, they are still children, so there is no need to look forward to it too much, but the most urgent thing is the Imperial Qinyi." The King of Hell said in a deep voice.
"Are you worried that Thirteen Pillar will attack her?" Kenzaki frowned.
The King of Hell nodded, "Capturing the resurrection of Yukotoi and Abe Harumaki are files of the same level, while Abe Harumaki's true body is half of the body of the Lord of Chaos, and is also one of the thirteen pillars. After he is resurrected, two legendary powerhouses will come to greet him, so I think the lineup of Yukotoi should be even more terrifying."
"Although Yuqinyi has endless potential, she is still too young after all. If the final situation is really the same as I thought... the consequences may be unimaginable." Speaking of this, the King of Hell had some hidden worries in his eyes.
Kenzaki sighed secretly. Although she wanted to share her worries for her husband, they were completely helpless in the current situation. If even they left the underworld, what might happen would be really hard to recover. And... the most important thing is that even if she wanted to help Yuqinyi, she didn't know where she was.
"well."
