Chapter 1569: Chapter 1109: Prayer

Li Changhe, with only a slight change in his facial expression, fortunately remained unnoticed by anyone thanks to the helmet of his Blood River armor.

He continued to listen to the ethereal voice.

"Do not... open hell."

"They want to get out."

"Do not let them escape!"

Then, the voice disappeared.

Li Changhe silently left the fortress walls, leaving behind the church priests, and returned to the room arranged for him by the kingdom.

He inquired the spear in his hand, "Golden Arrow, did you hear that? Was that the voice of Great Yi?"

"Voice? I did not hear any voice... I am just a God Sin, and you are almost a demigod. Perhaps only you can hear such voices." The Sun Shooting Golden Arrow residing in the spear replied, "By the way, what did you hear?"

"Do not open hell. Otherwise, something will escape." Li Changhe replied: "The voice is coming from the Demonic Territory. It was vague, and it seemed to be the same person speaking... but there was heavy interference. I couldn’t tell if it was Yi."

Although Li Changhe had never encountered Great Yi, the Sun Shooting Golden Arrow had mentioned that it mimicked Great Yi’s voice. If there had been less interference, perhaps Li Changhe would have recognized it.

"So it’s like this...." the Sun Shooting Golden Arrow fell into contemplation: "Do they, including Great Yi, not want to open hell and return to the physical world?"

"Or is it that there exists something in hell that they fear, and they would rather be imprisoned themselves than let those creatures out?" Li Changhe pondered.

Who could it be?

Judging from the aura of the Demonic Territory, it indeed resembles the ancient ancestors, those of the Jiuli tribe.

Both Great Yi and Jiuli were human powerhouses. Could there be other ’prisoners’ in hell besides them?

Could it be... a Demon from the heavens?

After all, the main external foe during the Heaven Court Era should be these celestial Demons.

Every time an Immortal ascends, a celestial Demon awakens.

Given the scale of the Celestial Court, they face a large number of such Demons every year.

But... that’s not right either.

The Celestial Court has a huge demand for artifacts, and these Demons are the best materials for artifacts and even God Sin. It’s uncertain in other worlds but in the Celestial Court, every time an Immortal breaks through, experts would rush to protect the law excitedly.

Firstly, to ensure Immortals from their own side break through safely, contributing to the fortification of the Celestial Court.

Secondly, once celestial Demons appear, Immortals have a source for their artifacts.

With the disposition of the Celestial Court back then, they would not waste these celestial Demons.

Why go through the trouble of imprisoning them in hell? Isn’t it better to turn them into artifacts or God Sin?

So who could it be? Divinities from a Different Race? The so-called Demon Clan?

That’s not very likely either.

Jiuli, Kuafu, Dongyi, and other tribes are all human tribes. With the overlapping and accommodating relationship between the Human Race and the Celestial Court.

The Celestial Court cannot kill them, at most it can imprison them. Could it be that the Demon Clan cannot be killed?

And to go to such lengths to bring them here and confine them? How did the recipes in the Classic of Mountains and Seas come to be?

There’s no need for that....

Who could it be?

Given the tyranny of the Heavenly Court at that time, there shouldn’t be many beings who could only be imprisoned and not killed.

Some Immortals succumbing to Demonic Possession? Or...

Li Changhe’s original plan was to conduct investigations in the Demon Domain and find a way to open hell.

To directly release Great Yi as well as the brothers and subordinates of Generals.

Forming a prehistoric men’s group with himself, to directly kill the Demon Suruca, and then safely find the direction to the main world.

Now...the plan has to change.

Li Changhe has to figure out the internal situation of hell first, and if the voice of hell can be heard by Li Changhe.

Then Li Changhe should also be able to contact the other side. Only after confirming the specific situation inside hell can he proceed with the plan.

Otherwise, releasing a group of beings hostile to humankind, Li Changhe can naturally leave whenever he wants, but then the humans of this world would be doomed.

The Demon Suruca is unreliable; if truly malicious Divinities appear, it would run faster than anyone.

Therefore, Li Changhe sought out King Tian Ming, who was currently preparing military forces inside the fortress.

Now, King Tian Ming was planning the marching route with a dozen of his confidants and those human powerhouses.

Since seeing the terrifying weapons created by the mastermind, Tian Ming has been full of vigor.

He believed there was hope for his world, and humans could finally escape the shackles of the Demon.

This good news seemed to rejuvenate the aged and frail kingdom by several hundred years.

However, upon hearing that Li Changhe’s plan might change, Tian Ming fell into a long silence. All those Divine Existences were also at a loss.

In the end, King Tian Ming looked solemnly at Li Changhe and said, "Your Excellency Yang Dong, are you not opening hell because you’re worried about the Human Race kingdoms?"

"I can escape from any disaster, but you cannot," Li Changhe replied. "Even I cannot protect you from a war involving multiple Divinities."

The Sun Shooting Golden Arrow has detected the presence of Great Yi; that must mean Great Yi is still alive.

In the Demonic Territory, the aura of Jiuli is strong, which means the brothers of those ancestral figures are also most likely still alive.

They are all considered allies, but at present, Li Changhe is unclear about the enemies they fear, how many they are.

Thus, the result of opening hell might very well be a chaotic battle between Divinities.

How can Li Changhe protect all humankind in the midst of chaos?

He now lacks the Black Great Wall and the support of human players. He can’t save everyone!

Guarding is far more difficult than destroying.

"Your Excellency Yang Dong... You should know, our world is all an illusion."

Tian Ming looked around, whether it was his trusted generals, the military strategists, or the human powerhouses, none spoke a word.

"Our empire, our civilization, our wars, and even all the deaths are controlled by the Demon! All are illusions! Now, we do not want to give up this hope," Tian Ming said with a heavy voice: "I understand your concerns. If something unexpected happens in hell, humanity must suffer greatly. But, as well, this may allow us to break free from the Demon! Even if all the Human Race kingdoms perish, the humans protected by you will establish a new civilization, one not bound by the Demon!"

Li Changhe’s frown deepened, Tian Ming’s obsession with breaking free from the Demon’s shackles exceeded his expectations.

It had even reached the point where the demise of the three great kingdoms was a worthy sacrifice.

This is an entrustment of legacy! Even Li Changhe felt this plan to be insane. He had heard of sacrificing the tail to survive, but never of sacrificing the head to keep the tail.

"Foolish. This world is an illusion, it is arbitrarily manipulated. But...love is real. How has a mere Demon forced you to this extent? Once hell opens, how many of the Human Race will be torn from their loved ones?"

Li Changhe paused: "I am not dealing with the Demon directly, purely because of my special identity. If discovered by certain forces, it could attract even more dangerous beings. Hence, I intended to use the powerful beings from hell to clear out the Demon."

"Next, I will continue to investigate hell. If you can no longer tolerate the Demon... then pray to me."
