Chapter 935: Chapter 933: Crack in the Door
Ding-dong!
The elevator arrived at the top floor of the hotel, the exclusive suite level for the disciples of the Evil God.
Even though William had been sent away, Yi Chen was still not entirely at ease. After all, when he first came here, even if William was not in this world, he could still send a note to his door.
Just as Yi Chen was preparing to set up some special death tricks or even traps outside the door, he unexpectedly found a note slipped into his pocket at some unknown time, even the yellow skin that was the clothing itself was unaware of it.
It was placed in the interlayer where videotapes used to be stored, where an abyssal gap had been created.
≮ Mr. Yi, no need to be wary of me, I will never disturb your ’depth’. Mr. Yi and I are essentially one, the stronger you are, the stronger I become, isn’t it?
Besides, I might still need to borrow your power in the future; some troubles only Mr. Yi can slay.
Previously, when you used hanging to explore the Dead Sea, I even specially sent someone to clean the stains at your door to prevent the hotel from forcibly breaking in.
If there still is a significant commotion this week, I will arrange for someone to help you deal with it. You just focus on delving deeper with peace of mind. ≯
The note was rubbed into powder between Yi Chen’s fingers. The feeling of having his thoughts seen through by William made Yi Chen very displeased, but this displeasure was quickly wiped away.
In Yi Chen’s view, being fixated on the present changes nothing, only by completely transcending William can he truly teach him a harsh lesson.
Close the door, lock it, and set the rope into the circle.
「Your current location is [Silent Shallow Beach], do you wish to teleport to the [Sealed Sunken Death Temple]?」
Hum!
Once again before the temple sealing the death secret and the supreme Evil God,
After the last attempt in the theater, the stones stacked before the temple door had been partially ’eroded away’.
Completely breaking it open would certainly take over a week.
But as the seal gradually broke, the aura seeping through the door crack allowed Yi Chen to have a deeper insight while sitting in front of the door.
More importantly, soon the door can be slightly opened to a gap, at which point perhaps formal communication with the entity imprisoned inside can be initiated.
Of course,
The removal of the seal must be entrusted to the God’s opposite, namely the contemporary Fu Jiang, Liu Xinzhi, as ’Evil’.
Having been transformed into a dead person, Liu Xinzhi, wholly retained as Fu Jiang’s concept, currently at the deepest part of the Dead Sea, seemingly recruited into a construction site, began the routine of brick moving.
Removing heavy and bizarrely shaped stones from the door to break the seal.
Seemingly simple, in reality, only evils above the phenomenon level and Fu Jiang with infinite regeneration can achieve it.
Each contact destroys one of Liu Xinzhi’s bodies in one second, and as the current physical body is about to collapse, the next follows immediately.
She is now very experienced, transforming into a human centipede made of dozens of female bodies, each stone removed just consumes the centipede body completely.
Although Liu Xinzhi had no complaints, over the few days, it did wear her out, mentally and physically exhausted, resting in Yi Chen’s cross-legged embrace.
"Mr. Yi, haven’t you now established a good relationship with those so-called gods? Can’t you have them directly unseal it?"
"You’ve been moving for so long and haven’t noticed the problem?"
"What? I’m just moving things, not thinking about other stuff."
"The seal set here indeed partly comes from God, but more so from the one sealed inside setting it themselves. To meet them, you must break it yourself."
The Liu Xinzhi in his embrace gently scratched Yi Chen’s chin, "Locking oneself? Why?"
"Specific reasons need to be asked inside, continue once you’ve rested."
Yi Chen continued to sit cross-legged in front of the door, with a clear mind, feeling the intense death aura seeping out as the seal was gradually opened.
This feeling reminded Yi Chen of the first time seeing the Dead Sea shrine in the orphanage’s dark room.
『At that time, I could transcend planes, position myself in a simulated world under God’s supervision while in a near-death state, and brought down the shrine’s vision, guiding me into the Dead Sea as a disciple.
This proves that the seal by those so-called righteous gods couldn’t fully suppress It, It just didn’t want to leave.』
Even though Yi Chen pacified his emotions to the greatest extent, he was still somewhat excited.
If not for death descending with grace back then, Yi Chen could never have left the orphanage, nor could he fulfill his dream in adulthood, nor reach today to meet with a ’friendly’ world like the sick focus, unable to achieve such transformation, growing fond of approaching sunlight.
He has always been grateful to this mysterious deity, yet unfortunately, the other party is too mysterious, Yi Chen at most can only worship on the Dead Sea’s edge or aboard a vessel,
now finally able to see the supreme entity that created the Dead Sea.
[Sixth Day]
Due to Liu Xinzhi’s diligent brick-moving, ahead of schedule by a day, this door meant for welcoming giant deities was no longer completely sealed, slightly loosened to open a tiny crack.
(The overall seal still exists, complete door opening is required for individual entry)
When this crack, even incapable of letting a pinky through, opened, the aura releasing underwent a qualitative change, deeper than any death Yi Chen had encountered, even reminding him of something.
When he and William were still one, the first time venturing to the [Original Tomb] and seeing the First Dead Man at the very bottom, they, too, existed deep in death, very deeply positioned.
Yi Chen no longer sat cross-legged, instead stood up and knelt in worship.
More devout than when helping William visit the "Tenth Abyss", even Liu Xinzhi, who had been moving bricks, froze entirely, surprised to see the seemingly high and mighty Mr. Yi offering such a grand ceremony to others.
She also began to A with sincerity, slightly bowing her head during brick-moving with her actions slowed.
As time ticked by second by second,
no matter how devotedly Yi Chen kowtowed, or prayed silently, or demonstrated pure death concepts during the ritual,
nothing was spoken from the crack, not even the slightest ripple was felt.
For a moment Yi Chen even wondered whether he was devout enough, or if the way to open the door was wrong, considering utilizing Liu Xinzhi was a mistake.
These doubts were quickly dispelled since if the entity inside were displeased, there would certainly be subtle ripples transmitted.
Yet now there was absolutely no sensation, as if whatever Yi Chen did was meaningless, like there was no one inside.
Unfortunately, only ten hours remain, relying solely on Liu Xinzhi is impossible to open it, unable to verify the internals’ reality or void.
Yi Chen considered giving up the kneeling, standing up to press his eye to the gap to peek inside, but a clear and pure heart instantly stopped this action.
Continuing the kneeling posture, undisturbed in thought.
Unknowingly, the [Week] time arrived, theoretically, someone from the hotel should come to knock on the room door, interrupting Yi Chen’s hanging ritual.
Yet everything was silent, Yi Chen in sustained kneeling had entered a state of "absolute devotion", long forgetting the promise with the Heavenly Venerate, not remembering the time.
Uncertain how much time passed,
Yi Chen suddenly realized something was off; Liu Xinzhi, who would usually rest in his embrace every two hours while moving bricks, hadn’t come close at all recently.
Looking up, Liu Xinzhi was already gone,
and the sealed door in front was gone too, to be precise, it was now behind Yi Chen,
without even realizing it, he had entered the interior of the temple...
