Chapter 88 Underworld
Seeing that he couldn't force Ah Cha out, Zheng Wenjie had no choice but to retract his supernatural powers. The fireworks seemed to go back in time, quickly retracting into Zheng Wenjie's body and transforming into blood power again.

In front of him was a thick white fog that Zheng Wenjie couldn't see through, but he didn't let down his guard. He pointed his right hand downward in a claw shape, and wisps of flames gathered and flowed, compressing into a fist-sized ball. The originally red and white fireworks had turned into a small, dark white fireball.

The surrounding space was constantly distorted by the high temperature, and even the air became sticky and heavy.

Ah Cha's face was solemn. He could feel the enormous energy through the Milky Way that was comparable to the nuclear bombs in the human world. He had miscalculated this time. Zheng Wenjie was even more powerful than Amaterasu. Unless his body could break free from the seal in the eye of the Milky Way, he would not be able to resist this force with his current soul state.

But he couldn't just admit defeat like that. Ah Cha was now only wearing a pure white shirt and pants. The gorgeous Hanfu had been destroyed in Zheng Wenjie's flames.

For endless days and nights, A'cha has been practicing in seclusion in the Milky Way. His magic power has long been in harmony with the characteristics of the Milky Way. His magic power has turned into the blue color of the Milky Way. Streams of Milky Way water swirl around A'cha's body and converge into a deep blue five-clawed dragon.

As A-Cha's magical power was infused, the galaxy seemed to begin to tremble. Zheng Wenjie closed his eyes and opened his senses to the fullest, trying his best to capture A-Cha.

Unfortunately, it was useless. The Milky Way had already been contaminated with A-Cha's scent. Zheng Wenjie slowly opened his eyes, and the Milky Way under the wooden desk began to boil.

Thick energy was sweeping towards here. Zheng Wenjie raised his hand, and a hot fireball was facing the direction where the energy was coming from. As his mind flowed, the fireball ejected towards the Milky Way and rushed straight into the depths of the Milky Way.

The fireball penetrated the Milky Way. Wherever the fireball passed, the intense energy caused the surrounding river water to form a vacuum straight line. When the straight line was about to be covered by the river water again, Zheng Wenjie saw the huge blue dragon head.

Jiong Jiong's bright eyes flashed with intelligence. He opened his mouth wide, revealing his ferocious and sharp teeth, and swallowed the fireball in one gulp.

Zhao Li, who was waiting for Zheng Wenjie in the hall without any preparation, was shaken to death by the violent shaking of the hall, and his face fell heavily to the ground.

Zhao Li covered his nose and began to doubt his life as a ferryman for thousands of years. He stood up shakily and ran towards the exit, cursing in his heart. It must be Zheng Wenjie and Pluto who were fighting.

Otherwise it would not have caused such a big commotion. Apart from the initial surprise, now I am surprised. I didn't expect that Zheng Wenjie could really wrestle with Pluto.

Since the day the underworld was born, there has never been sunlight. The entire underworld is immersed in darkness. In the borderless underworld city, countless souls are looking at the sky in a daze.

It seemed as if a red sun appeared in the sky of the underworld, shining through the dark waves and illuminating the dim underworld.

"Brother Li, what's going on?" Mulan looked at the sky in confusion.

Zhao Li's expression was indifferent but he couldn't help but smile: "It's okay, we'll know what's going on in a while."

It is impossible for A-Cha to return the soul to herself. Ever since A-Cha discovered that not all dead souls can come to the underworld as usual, and she cannot leave the underworld at will, she created the soul ferryman.

The ferryman can travel freely between the human world and the underworld and bring back the souls stranded in the human world. A-Cha gave them eternal life and the method of cultivation, but the price was the loss of their souls.

You get what you give. Once you become a soul ferryman, you will never be able to escape the control of Pluto A-Cha unless you die.

But now, as long as Zheng Wenjie can defeat Pluto, he will have the opportunity to become the new Pluto. The more powerful the ferryman is, the more he wants to break free from the shackles. This is his nature. They will support Zheng Wenjie to become the new Pluto.

Above the Milky Way, the wooden table that A-Cha had placed with his magic power for thousands of years was destroyed by the collision of Zheng Wenjie's bloodline ability and A-Cha's magic.

The two huge energies have gradually dissipated. Zheng Wenjie, who was knocked away by the impact, was surrounded by dancing flames and wandering in the Milky Way. Zheng Wenjie didn't know how long he had been walking. It seemed that there was no time in this Milky Way.

Zheng Wenjie already felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have confronted A-Cha head-on. He didn't know how to leave here. He took the underworld elevator when he came here, but now it sank into the Milky Way and could no longer be found.

He could only use his supernatural power to illuminate the surroundings, hoping that A-Cha could find him and talk to him. Zheng Wenjie never expected that the magatama sound transmission could not penetrate the Milky Way.

As soon as Qingyan left Zheng Wenjie, she was diluted by the inexplicable energy brought by Yinhe.

Zheng Wenjie was not a very patient person. He had no idea what time it was and the galaxy environment was exactly the same no matter where he walked. This made Zheng Wenjie start to get a little irritated.

Zheng Wenjie's green pupils suddenly condensed slightly, and a red and white flame spurted out from the palm of one hand towards the back. Flames also gushed out from under his feet and began to flow, driving Zheng Wenjie to shoot forward at a high speed towards the river water in front of him, which was a completely different color from the surrounding water.

The slight pressure brought by the Milky Way dissipated instantly, and Zheng Wenjie stepped onto the slightly moist land. There was a gray scene in front of him, but Zheng Wenjie could still see the environment here clearly.

Several stone pillars stand on both sides, and in front of the stone pillars is a stone temple. This place is still in the Milky Way, but the water of the Milky Way cannot pass through the restrictions of this small space, forming a vacuum land here.

Zheng Wenjie walked forward slowly. This should be the place where the primitive people lived in ancient times, but they were moved into the Milky Way. This space was not big, and Zheng Wenjie could see the Milky Way behind the stone palace at a glance.

It was very clean here, without any unnecessary things, and the land was flat. Stone pillars on both sides guarded the stone hall in the middle. Zheng Wenjie placed his hands on the stone door.

Zheng Wenjie opened his mouth and roared, then pushed the stone door with all his strength. However, even though he had used all his strength, the stone door remained motionless.

Zheng Wenjie had no choice but to give up using brute force to enter the stone hall. He walked around the stone sculpture and found that the whole stone hall was integrated. Zheng Wenjie had no choice but to give up. He used his supernatural power to continuously compress the flames and was able to blast open the stone hall.
But this land will also be destroyed by supernatural powers and sink into the Milky Way. By then, Zheng Wenjie really won’t know how long he will be lost in the Milky Way.

Zheng Wenjie sat on the steps of the stone hall, leaning against the stone door, and took off the blood talisman that was pressed against his chest. As his mind moved, a stream of hot blood flowed into Zheng Wenjie's mouth.

Fortunately, the blood of the Japanese invaders killed that year was still stored in the blood talisman, so he would not starve even if he stayed here for a hundred years. Zheng Wenjie took back the blood talisman and couldn't help but wonder if he would really starve to death in this galaxy without any trace of life, without the blood talisman.

Will he die of hunger, or will he be downgraded from the second generation to a zombie, and finally turn into ashes and sleep forever in the galaxy?

Zheng Wenjie slept and woke up, woke up and slept, and he never thought of leaving here. Ah Cha would come here sooner or later, and with a clear wait, it was impossible for her to stay here forever. Zheng Wenjie's heart gradually calmed down, and he began to think about his own strength.

Ah Cha was no match for him. This was the Milky Way and Ah Cha had lived here since ancient times. Even if they fought here, she would not be able to suppress him. However, Zheng Wenjie was not so arrogant as to think that he could break into Kunlun, punch the Queen Mother of the West, or kick Tathagata Buddha.

I remember that it was said in the original book that the underworld at this time was able to reach a relative balance with Kunlun, but that didn't mean A-Cha could fight against Kunlun.

The underworld is the underworld, and A'cha is A'cha. The underworld not only has A'cha, but also countless new souls that are born and old souls that are reincarnated. This is the power of the underworld, and it is also the basis for it to compete with Kunlun.

A'cha alone is no match for Kunlun, so if he really wants to be free in the three realms, controlling the underworld is a shortcut.

Zheng Wenjie didn't know how long it took before he finally saw Ah Cha's arrival. Ah Cha, wearing a white midriff-baring shirt and pants, stepped onto the land barefoot.

She stood straight, with her arms draped across her chest. The mask on her face was gone. Her fair and beautiful face looked at Zheng Wenjie arrogantly, with a sneer on her lips: "Are you comfortable staying here?"

Zheng Wenjie was a little unhappy when he saw Ah Cha's attitude: "Did you bring me here on purpose?" "You should be grateful, at least you can still stand here instead of soaking in the water." Ah Cha raised his eyes slightly and continued with some sarcasm: "You caused such a big mess in my underworld, so I should let you sink in the Milky Way."

Ah Cha felt a little overwhelmed. If he didn't really need help, he would have let Zheng Wenjie sink in the Milky Way for thousands of years instead of leading him into the stone hall that sealed his body.

In order to save Chi You, A Cha has been practicing for countless years to enhance the power of the underworld, but in the end he could only barely resist one move of Zheng Wenjie.

Although it was because he had no physical body, it was still something A-Cha could not tolerate.

Zheng Wenjie stood up and looked at Ah Cha with disdain: "You should be thankful that you came in time, otherwise you would never see this place again."

"This land is very important, right? You have preserved it in this galaxy. Tell me, would you be in pain if it was destroyed?"

Ah Cha laughed contemptuously: "Do you know what real pain is? There is only endless loneliness here, and no trace of the existence of time. I have been here since the birth of mankind."

"I lost my family, my people, and I don't have any true friends. I look around and I am all alone."

"My only pleasure before was waiting for the dead. I have seen countless souls. After seeing so many, I feel pain, boredom and despair."

"Even if you destroy this place, what can you do? Besides, you are not qualified enough."

Ah Cha approached Zheng Wenjie's slightly raised head and said arrogantly: "This is the core of the underworld. Do you think you can fight against the entire underworld? No, you can't even compete with the Milky Way."

"Do you think that just because you beat me, you can fight against the underworld? Huangquan is the land of the underworld, and the Milky Way is the sky of the underworld. This is the heaven and earth."

Ah Cha raised the corner of her mouth and walked past Zheng Wenjie with disdain to the steps of the stone hall: "My body is sealed inside. With the gathering of countless souls, the underworld has truly taken shape. It cannot be broken, unless you can destroy the entire underworld and make it disappear from the Three Realms."

Ah Cha turned around and looked down at Zheng Wenjie from the steps. Her slightly raised eyes concealed a hint of sarcasm: "Do you think you are worthy of this?"

Zheng Wenjie chuckled, hiding his emotions and said, "I didn't expect this. You left me here for so long. Now that you come to see me, what do you want to say?"

Ah Cha's lips suddenly raised in a playful arc, and she pouted her lips slightly and said sweetly: "Because you are the most powerful person I have ever seen, more powerful than Amaterasu. I want you to help me, otherwise you will have to stay here and find a way to leave by yourself."

The corner of Zheng Wenjie's mouth twitched slightly. This Ah Cha must be mentally ill. Just now she looked like you were trash, but now she has an expression of admiration on her face. Her sweet voice is threatening. She asked helplessly, "How do you want me to help you?"

"Do you know your origins?"

Zheng Wenjie nodded: "Just tell me, what do you need me to do for you?"

Ah Cha smiled and said, "I want to make a deal with you. I'm not asking you to go find Amaterasu."

"I have an elder brother. You must have heard of his name. His name is Chi You."

Zheng Wenjie nodded: "I know."

Ah Cha looked up at the Milky Way above: "In ancient times, there was a pillar connecting the sky and the earth. The sky at that time was not like the sky now. The sky at that time was called Kunlun, and gods existed on Kunlun."

"Kunlun brought day and night to the earth, and brought tides, but at that time the earth was barren, so the gods created the heavens and humans based on themselves."

"Although the land at that time was vast and boundless, it also contained countless dangers. Many of them were traces left by you Pangu people. Those traces took away the lives of many celestial beings who came to open up the land for the gods."

"Then God created primitive man based on heavenly man and drove all of them onto the earth. The primitive man was the sacrifice created by God to open up the earth."

"I am the original man, and my brother Chi You is the leader of our original people."

Ah Cha's expression turned cold again: "We, the original people, are just like the celestial beings and gods. We all have long lives and great powers."

"But we are different from the celestial beings. The celestial beings follow God and obey God without any free will, but we are different. We open up new territories on earth, forge ahead bravely, and yearn for freedom. Even if God created us, we are unwilling to be God's slaves."

"The gods were afraid and wanted to destroy us, the original people. My brother led his people to resist, but he died in Kunlun's despicable plot. The gods then sent celestial beings to deceive my elder brother Gonggong to break the pillar of heaven, causing Kunlun to rise and the earth to sink. Then the gods used a flood to clean up the original people surviving on the earth."

Ah Cha's expression was painful when he said this. Thinking of what he had done, his face turned even paler. "After that, Kunlun created the human race as it is today. We no longer have a long lifespan, nor do we have the powerful strength that can be compared to that of a god."

"Do you know why I didn't die and became Hades?" A Cha asked with a self-deprecating look on his face.

Zheng Wenjie sighed in his heart, and understood why, but still said, "I don't know."

Ah Cha smiled happily, opened his arms and said in a vigorous tone: "Because I am a hostage. The original underworld was used to imprison my brother's soul. They were afraid that my brother would make a comeback, so they left me as a hostage to threaten my brother."

"But gods are not omnipotent. There are things that gods don't understand. The life span of humans is no more than a hundred years. After death, souls wander around the earth. So Kunlun regards the underworld as a place for souls to rest and lets me manage these souls."

"As the number of souls increased, the underworld became larger and larger, and finally became a world of its own, separating it from the human world with Huangquan and the Milky Way."

"The Yin-Yang Volume and the Six Paths of Reincarnation were also created, allowing the dead souls to be reincarnated."

Ah Cha's eyes were like the cold moon in the night sky, bright and aloof: "I have become the king recognized by all things in the world, the ruler of the underworld. Kunlun can no longer use me as a hostage to deal with my brother, because my soul cannot perish in the underworld."

Zheng Wenjie's eyes flickered as he asked directly, "So you want to revive Chi You, and you need my help? Since you have become the Hades, why don't you revive Chi You yourself?"

Ah Cha didn't care much about Zheng Wenjie's temptation and said directly: "Because I have become a part of the underworld, my body has become the core of the underworld. If my soul leaves the underworld and is harmed in the human world, my body will also be damaged, and the underworld will be unstable."

"So I need someone to help me. I have already found a container. My brother will be reincarnated into the human world. I just need you to protect his container and wait for him to wake up. I will agree to all your conditions."

Zheng Wenjie let out a sigh of relief. He didn't expect it to be like this. If he wanted to control the underworld, he couldn't just get rid of A-Cha. In other words, whoever controlled A-Cha could control the underworld.
