This actor is full of tricks.

The territory teeming with fear is vast, and it boasts the most black veins, breeding countless resentments.

Lin Jue stepped across a blood vessel and saw a pool of dark blood, each drop of which contained intense and pure negative emotions.

Dark Blood!

Before Lin Jue could even get excited, the Hades consciousness in his mind coldly said, "Not enough."

"This isn't enough?" Lin Jue was dumbfounded. The amount of Nether Blood was several times that He Wen had consumed.

“Large amount, do you even know what large amount means?” Hades’ consciousness replied, “You’re still not calm enough. You take emotions too seriously, and you panic over something as small as this.”

His tone sounded somewhat disappointed and frustrated.

"Humans are ultimately flesh and blood; it is emotions that make us human. Without emotions, we would say we've lost our humanity." Lin Jue walked around the blood pool, thinking that the Underworld God's consciousness had been quite agreeable lately, and mentally asked, "By the way, why did you choose me in the first place?"

"It wasn't me who chose you, it was you who chose me. No, it was the owner of this body who chose me," the consciousness of the God of the Underworld replied.

Lin Jue's heart stirred slightly, but he wasn't surprised. The consciousness of the Underworld God must have occupied this body for a very long time, so it wasn't surprising that he knew he was a transmigrator.

He pressed further, "The owner of this body chose you? How did that happen?"

The consciousness of Hades did not answer, remaining silent.

Lin Jue could only change the subject: "Then why didn't you become the system of the predecessor in the first place, but instead appeared after I arrived?"

"It's just a coincidence in terms of timing. I was asleep at the time, and when I woke up, I found that this body had changed owners." The consciousness of the Underworld said helplessly, "Do you think I wanted this? But I can't get out of this body. However, for me, once I'm in this body, it doesn't matter who it is."

This statement contains a lot of information. There must be something related to the consciousness of the God of the Underworld hidden in the memories of the deceased predecessor.

However, the consciousness of the Underworld God was unwilling to speak, and Lin Jue couldn't get any information out of him.

After advancing for another half hour, an intense resentment that almost overwhelmed Lin Jue rushed towards him. The originally ethereal negative emotions seemed to have materialized, and in addition to the pure black resentment, there were also various other colors in the air.

Lin Jue reached out and touched the red gas that was drifting over. Immediately, he heard a frenzied and violent roar in his ears, which should represent the emotion of anger.

"You really were a source of negative emotions back then; those emotions have all turned into a colorless gas." Lin Jue sighed. He remembered that the God of the Underworld was born from a world of despair and death, and couldn't help but feel curious: "In the memory you showed me back then, what kind of world was that?"

"It's the inner world and the outer world. Every world has two sides. When the negative emotions in a world accumulate to a certain level, the inner world will appear." This time, the God of the Underworld explained quite readily: "And I represent the inner world, so naturally I bear the negative emotions of the entire inner world. It's normal for these emotions to become like this."

This isn't normal, okay?!
This is already incredibly fantastical.

Lin Jue's eyelids twitched. After passing through the colorful gas, he saw a small black lake.

The lake, spanning over ten square meters, was filled entirely with Netherblood, the sheer quantity of which was astonishing. A single bucket of Netherblood could incite countless A-rank monsters to fight to the death. Even with only a one percent success rate, so many Nether Gods could create several extremely vicious monsters if the number of monsters was sufficient. "You think A-rank monsters are just common cabbages? You've only seen so many A-rank monsters because your strength has reached this level and you've been deliberately seeking out high-level monsters. But even so, have you seen more than ten A-rank monsters?" The voice of the Nether God's consciousness echoed in his mind: "Many people never even encounter a B-rank monster in their entire lives, and of course, they don't want to."

"That's true." Lin Jue replied, and without further delay, carried He Wen to the lakeside: "What's next?"

"Throw it down."

Throw it down?
Lin Jue looked at the bottomless lake of Netherblood before him. The level of resentment contained here had surpassed all the strange events he had experienced before. If he were to throw He Wen in directly, the resentment would probably tear her body apart.

“When a person is on the verge of death, they will have a strong will to live, let alone the supernatural?” The consciousness of the God of the Underworld urged, “The little girl’s condition can’t last for more than half an hour. Every minute of hesitation will bring her closer to death.”

"Trust her, just as she trusts you."

Upon hearing this, all of Lin Jue's hesitation vanished. He squatted down, gently tidied He Wen's hair, which had become disheveled from her journey, and placed it into the lake.

In an instant, the Lake of Dark Blood boiled like boiling water meeting hot oil, billowing smoke and engulfing He Wen's small body, which was instantly submerged in the Dark Blood and sank to the bottom of the lake.

"Is this right?" Lin Jue asked, his nervousness visibly evident.

"Don't worry, it's just a bit boring. You can go watch the battle between Liezeng and the others," Hades replied.

"Forget it, I'll just stay here and guard it. I don't believe we can't beat four extremely vicious beasts over there." Lin Jue shook his head, then asked, somewhat puzzled, "They were all your former subordinates. How can you bear to let them fight to the death now?"

"Back then, I used various negative emotions from the underworld in combination with my blood to create ten extremely vicious beasts, with the purpose of having them help cleanse the negative emotions from the underworld."

"But they are monsters created by negative emotions, so how could they possibly work for me willingly?"

"A bunch of disobedient subordinates, they're no big deal if they die."

Cleanse the negative emotions of the inner world?

Lin Jue was taken aback: "Could it be that you want to become above the God of the Underworld just to clear away those negative emotions?"

"That's right, but unfortunately I failed. The negative emotions have gotten out of control. If they continue to accumulate, the inner world will invade the outer world, and the negative energy generated by humans will launch a strong counterattack. At that time, the entire outer world will become a purgatory, and humans will burn, kill, plunder, and commit all kinds of evil deeds. It will be even more terrifying than when the fog zone opens."

Is there such a secret?

Lin Jue could imagine the scene: the negative emotions accumulated over hundreds of years must be terrifying, and once the negative energy rebounded, humans would turn into monsters.

In the few months he spent in this world, he had witnessed far too much of the dark side of humanity: a landlord who murdered his wife, a father and son who abused their son, a patient's relative who lied about his mother's health and started a medical dispute, and those guys in Fu Yu's raincoat...

These kinds of examples are countless. (End of Chapter)
