Chapter 878 Huangfu Zuoren's Observations

"The difference in the flow of time between the two eras is huge, making it inconvenient for Sprite to go up, but he still came up with a solution. Rebuilding the underworld was one step in his plan."

About fifteen years ago, he led a group to clean up the entire underworld, almost completely eliminating and suppressing the Avici Hell.

"Are you kidding me? This is the deepest hell!"

Xia Shou was deeply shaken.

The Avici Hell is a great achievement accomplished by Yama, the King of Hell. Even though the King of Hell's disappearance caused the ranks of the underworld officials and ghost generals to decline abnormally, the original forces of the underworld still possess considerable fighting power.

Furthermore, the Avici Hell contains a Ghost King who is on par with the underworld officials, so suppressing and clearing it again would be quite troublesome.

If we're talking purely about strength, Spreadt, as the pinnacle of the Scar Age's superhumans, had subordinates who were equally powerful, certainly far stronger than the ghost kings and underworld officials in the netherworld.

However, the difficulty in dealing with the underworld lies in the Great Body Transformation Technique. There is no absolute death in the underworld. If you cut a person into pieces on one side and send them to the other side, someone may have already pieced the chopped body pieces back together into something new.

Huangfu Zuoren seemed to see Xia Shou's confusion and took the initiative to explain:
"Sprite is very strong, and he is now far stronger than described in historical records. After realizing that he was in a time loop, he has been exploring a path to the future, and he has succeeded."

As Huangfu Zuoren spoke, he flipped through his reasoning notebook, saying, "He is the king, so even if I hide, I still have many opportunities to see him, observe him, and record him. The reasoning notebook has been updated and has given many predictions. Although they are not 100% certain, I think they are pretty close."

Huangfu Zuoren turned to the corresponding page and handed it to Xia Shou.

Since Sprite knows about the time loop, he must have tried to go to the future. If I were him, I wouldn't just go to the future so easily. I would at least have to take advantage of all the opportunities and treasures in my current history.

Perhaps Spright has already found a history book from some future era. If the book happens to record events from the Scar era, he could do even more. How many opportunities he would have!
This time, he will probably become even more powerful than he was in the original history.

"However, the difference in time flow between the modern era and this era makes it difficult for Sprite to exert his true power, no matter how strong he is, so he rebuilt the underworld."

Why rebuild the underworld?

"Because this place is a very special lost time, things belonging to this time will not be reset with the reset of this era, so Spright wants to use the power of the evil spirits trapped in the Avici Hell."

The demons in the Avici Hell fight each other to escape their suffering and search for their original bodies, and Sprite took advantage of this.

He dealt with the Avici Hell, and his two subordinates helped him a lot. After that, he was busy selecting and organizing, choosing a sufficiently strong ghost king, and sorting out the ownership of each organ.

In fact, there was no need for any cleanup. On the first day that Sprite completed the suppression, Avici Hell became completely quiet, and all the ghosts were freed from their suffering for the first time.

It's funny how the ghosts suffer endlessly from their infighting. If there were no infighting, it wouldn't be a big deal if their bodies were in someone else's body; at most, it would just feel strange.

But it is because of the pain that they fight, trying to reclaim their bodies. And it is precisely because of the fighting that the pain continues. Every ghost knows what is going on, and every ghost knows that no one will stop fighting, which is why it is called Avici.

Humans are actually quite similar. Everyone knows that world peace is wonderful, but war has never disappeared for various reasons.

But Sprite ended this unsolvable cycle. He stopped the Abyss, and everyone had a chance to relax. Those who disobeyed were cut into many pieces and forced to remain still.

Then, Sprite slowly found the bodies of the demon kings among countless evil spirits, and then made a deal with them.

Those ghost kings went to the modern world to work for him, and he would retain their bodies. If anyone dared to betray him, he would torture the original form of that ghost king. Su Weiyu gasped, "If that's the case, it means other enemies have already arrived in the mortal world! So Zhang Heping wasn't the only one who went!"

Xia Shou thought for a moment and said, "The ghost kings of the underworld should be very powerful, but they can't cause any big commotion. What would he send those ghost kings to do?"

Xia Shou's thinking was very clear. He understood very well the risks of a ghost king in the underworld compared to the real world. Ghost kings in the Avici Hell were indeed strong, but this was compared among abnormal beings. They might be S-level dangerous abnormal beings, but they could never destroy the world.

To put it bluntly, they'd be lucky to reach the level of a writer; if they really had the ability to destroy the world, Spread wouldn't have felt comfortable sending them out.

Spreadt must have released them for something else, something that couldn't be resolved with a big fuss.

"I think... it might be this."

Huangfu Zuoren turned a few more pages and pointed out a line of text to Xia Shou.

Sprite seems to want to inspect the borders of the Three Scars Kingdom. What will he be thinking while he's on his inspection tour? He must be looking at maps a lot in the palace.

This world is flat, unlike the present world. As someone from the old era, he might not like this kind of world structure. If he had the ability, this arrogant guy might transform the present world into what it is now.

Based on my detective instincts, he's probably already planning this. After all, top players are known for their strong desire for control, and Spreadt is a prime example.

"The arguments in the reasoning notebook are meaningless; they're usually just nonsense. Just look at the conclusions. Based on my many years of experience using this book, Spreadt's purpose is very likely this," Huangfu Zuoren said. "But... is it really possible to flatten the world?"

Xia Shou was taken aback, recalling the article he had found while investigating the pillars of humanity, an article about the connection points of the world, this Möbius strip.

Heart of the Rending King!
This EX-level anomaly was first mentioned in an article by the first rumor-monger of the Pillars of Humanity, using the name of a sea urchin octopus, and became widely known.

The sea urchin octopus's true name in captivity is Heart of the Rending King. The person who chose this name based it on an ancient document, simply because the sea urchin octopus's appearance closely resembled the Heart of the Rending King mentioned in the document.

But why does this ancient document call this thing the Heart of the King?

Murong Shangjin said that there are many such titles in history, just like there are countless sword kings and knife gods. The same is true for the King of Rift. Therefore, the King of Rift in the documents cannot be equated with the emperor of the Scar Era.

However, even if the Heart of the Rift King has nothing to do with the Rift King, Xia Shou is certain that Sprite is after the Heart of the Rift King.

No, to be precise, it was aimed at the gap in the Möbius strip!

“That’s the only reason the old inhabitants think of the modern world,” Xia Shou muttered to himself.

...named.

Cut a world in half, transforming it from a ring shape into a long strip.

If successful, this achievement will be more than enough to earn him a place in the family, and he might even be able to take over the mantle.

"We must send this message back immediately!"
