The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 458 The God of Disobedience Will Also Retire

Cold, shaking.

When Zun Zun woke up, he found himself hanging on a big tree, and then jumped down.

"Where is this place?"

Zun Zun looked around and found that this was a deep green mountain with a strong smell of soil and trees, and there was a gurgling stream nearby.

If it were a sunny day, it would definitely be comfortable to take a walk here, but unfortunately it is raining now, and the big raindrops are hitting my body.

There was a strong wind blowing in the air, mercilessly snatching away the wet body temperature.

And Zun Zun’s health condition is very poor now.

A strong feeling of nausea, chills, headaches, and severe dizziness as if suffering from motion sickness or seasickness - with the God Slayer's strong physique, such strange symptoms would not have occurred long ago.

"Is it really the Netherworld?"

Zun Zun has been studying the information about the Netherworld for a while now. Everyone who enters here has said that they feel unwell, as if they were poisoned. I guess this is the poison gas of the Netherworld. No, it might be better to call it miasma.

Follow the stream toward the top of the mountain.

Walking blindly in the mountains will only get you lost. In the absence of signposts, you can only go to a high place to look around.

At the same time, he discovered that the stream water flowing nearby was very turbid and the flow rate was extremely fast. This should be because the rain had increased the flow rate. Judging from the direction of the stream, this should be a very remote area deep in the mountains.

It took about 10 minutes to walk.

"That's... a thatched hut?"

Zun Zun saw a small house in front of him, which looked like the simple wooden house that appeared in period dramas, and the sliding door at the entrance was open, as if waiting for guests.

I felt something in my heart and walked towards that place.

Come to the door.

I found an old man who looked like the owner of the cottage, sitting cross-legged in front of an old-fashioned stove.

He was at least 180 cm tall and had a very large build. He was only wearing a rough kimono, so it was obvious that he had a strong body that had nothing to do with his age. The muscles all over his body made most strong men pale in comparison.

The old man also had a very stubborn expression, which matched his strong physique very well.

The divine power flowing through his limbs and bones made Zun Zun guess who he was, so he complained helplessly.

"Can you treat me better next time?"

"Hahahaha, sorry, sorry, my miko has caused you trouble. Come in and take shelter from the rain."

"excuse me."

Zun Zun took off his shoes and sat cross-legged opposite the old man.

The two of them roasted the fire in silence.

"...Why don't you attack me?"

"That's not necessary. You didn't attack me either."

Answer the old man's questions casually.

The old man sighed and said, "If it was in the past, I would definitely do that, but I got tired of that kind of game a long time ago."

"Feel the same."

“Hahahaha—you’ve just become a demon king, yet you’re talking about being bored or something… It seems like you’re different from that junior who’s chasing after prey!”

It seemed that this answer was very novel to him, so he laughed so hard.

I think it's Vauban.

But there are also godslayers who are not good at fighting, such as Lady Elsa and Kusanagi Godou. Not everyone is a battle maniac.

"As for me, I used to be a disobedient god."

I don’t know why, but I suddenly entered the reminiscing mode, the old man said with a sigh.

But Zun Zun did not interrupt.

After all, I came here to ask for a favor, so it's only right for me to listen to the old man's complaints.

"I wandered the earth for more than a thousand years, and finally got tired of it, so I decided to live in seclusion. I used to be a very rude and violent guy, but as I got older, my personality became more mellow."

Sure enough, the speech that sounded like that of a bad guy was exactly the same as what the older generation said about their experiences as a gangster.

"Speaking of which, I have been curious about the final outcome of the God of Disobedience. Seeing you appear here, you must have been killed by the God Slayer. And those gods are no longer wreaking havoc on the earth. Where did they go?"

"retired."

Suddenly I heard a very modern word. The person in front of me was obviously the ancient god of disobedience, but he used such a modern term.

"Hahaha, your expression is very interesting, kid."

The old man laughed out loud.

After a brief moment of astonishment, he suddenly remembered that the old man in front of him was not really hiding in the underworld. He had also been in contact with Qingqiuyuan Eina, so he must have known about the things in the real world from the other party.

"Tsk, the boy reacts really quickly."

He doesn't seem to like people who think quickly.

"I am currently in a state of seclusion, because the disobedient god will not die without a serious reason, so he will not return to the myth. If he is forced to do so, he will have to sleep like me or live in seclusion in the underworld."

"I see."

Speaking of which, the old man in front of him seemed to be Susanoo no Mikoto, not the god of war but the god of deception and strategy.

In addition, its own steel attribute is differentiated into the Tiancongyun Sword, so compared with other disobedient gods, it is not good at destruction. Is this why it has existed for a thousand years?

Suddenly, a bright light emanated from the back of Zun Zun's hand.

"Ha! You are worthy of being the guy who won the Sword of Wisdom. Just by hearing my past stories, you can immediately make weapons. I haven't even introduced myself yet." The old man, no, Susanoo shook his head helplessly.

"It's not too late now. I am the god known as Susano no O-no-Mikoto. You can call me old man or old man, but don't call me grandpa. I'm the only one who calls me that stupid name. Ena is enough."

"I understand, old man. Besides, you should also know the purpose of my visit."

Zun Zun was not polite to him either.

"The netherworld?"

The old man nodded.

"Indeed, this place is different from the real world you live in. This is a place that records everything that has happened since the birth of the universe, as well as all the possibilities of what will happen in the future. Those who have the ability can gain power from here."

"Then just because I haven't gained the power to travel through worlds, does that mean I don't have that ability?"

"Of course."

The stinky old man even mentioned ancient Chinese literature.

However, Zun Zun had anticipated such a situation. After all, if he could travel through the world by his own power, why would he go through all the trouble to come here?
"That……"

"I don't have that ability, otherwise why would I stay here? If I want to stay out of the fight, I have to pay something, right?"

What he said made so much sense that I was speechless.

Susanoo Mikoto said bitterly, "This underworld is a place where people who are neither human nor god gather. Especially those who gather now are half-hearted people who cannot give up their attachment to the real world. We have been dealing with that place for a long time, and we have been involved in many things."

Generally speaking, I don’t want to live in seclusion like this.

"But I did ask someone else for you."

"Someone else?"

"——Please come in."

Just when Zun Zun was curious, Susanoo shouted to the outside of the door, then pulled the door open again, and an old man with white hair and beard appeared.

"Let me introduce him. He is Plutarch."

"……who is it?"

I'm sorry, I really don't know. After all, the gods, dragons and the like in this world are too complicated, and it is impossible for him to cover them all.

But since he is a god in the underworld, he should be very famous...

"Hahaha, you guessed wrong. Plutarch is not a god, he is just an immortal. Of course, he is also a person who is not bound by fate, the guardian of time, the manager of the memory stone tablet, and the compiler of legitimate history. From the perspective of human standards, he is a transcendent and not bound by fate."

——I don’t know him.

As if he understood Zun Zun's confused expression, the old man curled his lips and said, "Anyway, he can answer your question."

He was a little upset that he failed to show off.

"A talkative fellow."

The old man named Plutarch had a very bad attitude towards Susano-no-Mikoto, and the two seemed to have a bad relationship.

"Let me introduce myself, a person from another world. I am the owner of Plutarch's Pavilion. I manage the memory tablets and am the compiler of history. I also know things about other worlds."

"Hello……?"

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but he treats Zun Zun very well.

"that……"

"Just now, the God of Lies also said that the underworld records the past and the future, and you and I are the ones who break fate."

Does it mean the same kind?

"I see. I thought you would be so angry that you would drive me out of this world after knowing this."

"I won't do anything unreasonable."

"No, I would love that."

“…Actually, I can’t.”

Plutarch shook his head.

He is the owner, the administrator, and the recorder, but that's all. It is impossible to break the boundaries. Knowing and being able to do are two different things.

"...Is that so? I can't really only go to Madam Aisha, right? I say, maybe I can just find someone in the underworld who can travel through time and space... Never mind, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Mrs. Aisha's whereabouts are unpredictable. She might not show up for several years. Even if she is discovered, it will be too late.

Hunting down gods who can travel through the world in the underworld is wishful thinking. Any god with this ability would have retired and slipped away long ago.

"Actually, there is one more person."

Seeing that Zun Zun was in distress, Plutarch suddenly said this.

"Who?"

"White Lotus King."

The name that came out surprised Zun Zun a little. The White Lotus King was the God Slayer. Perhaps this name was not widely known, but another name would definitely make people suddenly realize it.

——The martial arts king Luo Hao.

Because his name was Cui Lian, he wore white Hanfu, and was the master of the White Lotus Dao, so he was also known as the White Lotus King.

"I have seen that Overlord in the Netherworld Corridor. She has the ability to break the world, and she does it with her own martial arts. But in the end, she did not do so, but returned to the real world. If it is her, she should be able to help you."

"Well……"

Zun Zun had never thought that the other party had the ability to travel through the world just by relying on martial arts. Could this be the legendary breaking the void and ascending to heaven?
