Chapter 1311: Chapter 1311 Trapped Chapter 1311: Chapter 1311 Trapped According to ancient legends, Hell and the Abyss were actually akin to the Emerald Dream, being mirror blueprints of the work of the ancient gods.

It’s just that the Emerald Dream was the only successful blueprint that connected with the real material plane, teeming with life and thriving with all things, an idealized world. It was a world that only souls and creatures that controlled nightmares could enter.

Hell and the Abyss, on the other hand, were composed of countless failed blueprints; they were unsuccessful creations.

Hell was immensely large with many layers, but only about twenty layers had been explored, inhabited mainly by various demons. The landscape was predominantly volcanic, and the rulers were the seven demon lords of Hell, of which the three leading demon lords were also the greatest gods among the chaotic and evil ones. Their ability to rule over Hell didn’t come from their formidable power, but rather because, compared to the gods of the Abyss, they were hard to kill completely. During the war of the ancient gods, the conflict between Heaven and Hell, the three major demon gods were destroyed time and again, yet they miraculously resurrected every time, which was the real reason the vast Hell could withstand the Abyss gods.

Comparing Hell to the Abyss reveals that the latter is far more complicated in terms of the known number of layers, the number of races, the number of gods, as well as the geographical features.

Speaking of the layers, Hell is known for its ninety or so layers, while the Abyss is nearing three hundred.

In terms of terrain, besides the volcanic landscape similar to Hell’s, there are various elemental layers and even ones related to souls. It’s said that the elemental planes of the Four Great Elemental Lords are actually part of the Abyss as well.

As for the races, it’s even more complex. There are all sorts of monsters, elementals–not to mention, aside from the demons of Hell, most layers are occupied by devils. Of course, there are also the undead in the necrotic layers and the spirits and undead beings that the Death God once controlled, the complexity is boundless.

The Abyss also serves as a gathering place for the gods of the chaotic evil pantheon. Once, every deity of dark and evil alignments had some control over a few layers of the Abyss, if not more.

The number of creatures within is innumerable. Though all are failed creations, each layer is almost the size of God’s Main Position, and with over three hundred layers, one can only imagine the terrifying number of creatures within.

Consider this, the mere deployment of demons from a few layers of Hell almost destroyed the civilization of the Neutral Continent, and even Heaven fell. If the Abyss were to act, it would be even more terrifying.

Indeed, in Ancient Times, the ultimate cause of the war of the gods was the control over the main material plane.

However, during the Ancient Times, it was extremely difficult for the creatures of the Abyss to enter the main plane. At that time, there was a portal to the Abyss, an Abyssal plain, and a Styx River, all opened by the immense divine power of three dark gods. These three locations were the entry and exit points for the Abyss to invade the main plane during ancient times.

After the Twilight of the Gods, more than half of the deities fell completely, and the survivors were gravely injured and dying, forced into an endless slumber. They sealed themselves away in God’s Kingdom, and the three portals to Hell were also closed.

Planes folded and sealed, then Heaven and Earth shattered, the main plane collapsed, and now the three portals have been completely sealed and forgotten by people.

Were it not for this, the main plane would stand no chance against the formidable races of the Abyss.

Why did Ros Spider Queen spend tens of thousands of years nurturing the fallen elves, even at the risk of offending the Moon God? With an endless supply of creatures from the Abyss and her being one of the earliest main gods to regain some consciousness, she would never lack the power of faith. Rather, because the Abyss was sealed, she could only spend tens of thousands of years fostering the fallen elves to increase her influence over the main plane.

Indeed, she succeeded. The fallen elves have become one of the most formidable races on the main material plane.

And the reason for Li Yao’s excitement was precisely because of this Abyss Pass.

Although the Abyss was a harsh and dangerous environment, it represented various formidable legions to Li Yao, and of course, even more important were the Abyss materials.

Why is it that nowadays, whether it’s magic or various secondary professions, materials and spells have been innovated, were Ancient enchantments not strong, or was Ancient magic not formidable? Of course not.

The main reason was that the Abyss and Hell had been sealed off, cutting off all kinds of precious and unique magical materials from the Abyss and Hell; only then did the races start to innovate. This also led to the loss of many ancient arrays, matrices, powerful enchantments, and engineering items, or even blacksmithing techniques; they were either lost to history or discarded as useless artifacts.

The neutral faction was the weakest, and either of the two major factions could overpower the neutral faction by just allocating two races. Why did they still sit on equal footing with the neutral faction? Aside from preventing Hell’s invasion, it was because the reappearance of various magical materials from Hell benefited both factions. In their confrontation, neither would allow the neutral faction to ally with one side, thus allowing the neutral faction to reap benefits from both sides and have the chance to recover.

Now that he had obtained an Abyss Pass, it was as if he owned the entire Abyss. Although the Abyss was sealed, having been reborn, he still knew some secret methods to travel to and from the Abyss.

Once he found his footing, his guild could also establish itself in the Abyss, and then nobody could stop Starfire from soaring.

Moreover, as an archaeology master, he knew many ruins and could obtain numerous ancient recipes, which were also an incredible boost to his own strength.

“Dammit, no matter what, I can’t die this time. The mission is complete, I need to slip away quickly. If I die, there might be ways to recover race-level strength and essence, but this kind of pass will probably be out of reach.” Li Yao activated his divine sight and scanned the cave continuously.

He couldn’t afford to die on this quest, because not only would race-level power and the late-stage essence supplied to the faction vanish, but the more crucial point was that the stamp was unique, and he didn’t want to die and have everything go down the drain.

Spider silk sprayed directly from the back of Li Yao’s neck, shooting more than three hundred yards and sticking to the cave ceiling, and his body was pulled up as the spider silk retracted.

Then, numerous tentacles appeared out of Li Yao’s arms and hands, sticking to the cave ceiling; he moved about like a spider, but after searching for a while, he found no ventilation holes that might offer an escape.

“Damn, not even a gap for a bat to pass through. Where is the original portal?”

Li Yao searched for a long while but couldn’t find the original portal; it was as if this place existed in its own space. He even tried to look for the platform where the female elf was, but again, found nothing.

While Li Yao was searching, a Light Gate appeared, and several figures in black robes emerged. Li Yao was about to figure out a way to kill them, but the black-robed ones simply threw out a light-emitting spider silk.

The spider silk wrapped around Li Yao like a spirit snake, binding him in layers. When the black-robed ones pulled the spider silk, Li Yao appeared in front of the Light Gate.

“This guy has a hard life, he actually didn’t die.”

“He managed to obtain divinity, but it’s useless, still trying to run, laughable.”

“Enough talk, take him away, the High Priest is waiting.”

Li Yao sadly discovered that he had no strength to resist, and could only be pulled along…
