Rise of Humanity

Chapter 635 - Real and Fake Hell Overseers

The effect and power of the bell was completely different when in the hands of that mysterious individual as compared to that of the eighteen judges.

The soul of the demonic god was held captive by the bell with his soul engulfed in darkness; the link between his body and soul was severed by this bell — Soul Reaping Bell.

This bell was an extraordinary item in hell. In the Six Path Worlds, there are often several abnormally strong individuals with a few planets filled with their worshippers, and with them worshipping them, the power of the worship would firmly lock these individuals’ soul within their body.

And when these individuals passed away, they would often hear a bell ring as the power of worship was cut loose from them and their soul would descend into the Hell Wheel as a result. This was all the doings of the Soul Reaping Bell; guiding the souls of these abnormally strong individuals away in order to maintain the order of the Six Paths.

When the soul of the demonic god was guided away, his gigantic body fell from the skies and rolled all the way down into hell.

“My lord! Forgive us for the trouble!”

The eighteen judges knelt with lowered their heads to the deepest part of hell while the black hand grabbed onto the bell in which the soul was trapped and struggling.

“This is not your fault, this monster ape is just way too strong for you.”

The creepy and fading voice of Prison Emperor came from the deepest part of hell, “How things work in hell is different compared to Six Paths. In hell, he is no match for me but it will be the other way round in Six Paths; not only will I be injured by him, I would even be captured by him. Both realms have different orders; while alive, we are under the watch of the heaven. And when we die, we are transferred to the jurisdiction of the earth. Apart from those ancients that can enter hell and Six Paths freely, who else is capable of this? You have all given your best, now, prepare yourselves again and do not break the order.”

“Yes, my lord!” replied the judge.

The black hand then retracted back into the depths of hell along with the bell and disappeared.

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er were both awestruck; such a battle might have ended in just a blink of an eye, but it was still extremely marvelous; especially the scene when the monster ape squeezed into hell from the Six Paths where the ape shook the stars in the space.

We couldn't witness his full power, what a shame.

Dragging Qiu Jin’er with him, he quickly walked towards the outside of the Serene Darkness Mansion with Lan Si God, trying to escape with the help of the chaotic situation. The monster ape was not in his peak state; his body and his soul did not fuse together perfectly yet, and his soul obviously had a weaker cultivation in comparison to his body.

And due to the limitations of the Hell Wheel’s heaven and earth orders, his strength was greatly suppressed and as a result, he was captured by the Prison Emperor.

Things would have been different if they were in the Six Paths World.

Prison Emperor said that those ancient beings could travel through the two realms freely… Does that means that they could fight uninhibited in both realms?

Zhong Yue thought in admiration, How strong must they be to be able to do this?

Suddenly, a terrifying aura flooded out, causing Zhong Yue’s heart to sink. When he looked around, the eighteen judges descended from the top and surrounded them in the middle.

Far away, banners waved along with the wind, countless demonic gods in the hell gathered their remaining forces, formed up new ranks, creating array formations one after another that fixated the fire and water in the city and trapped Zhong Yue and the others in the middle.

Qiu Jin’er was slightly shaken, but Zhong Yue only smirked, “Heh, so it seems like we have been found out.”

Upon hearing Zhong Yue’s calm voice and looking at his confident demeanour, Qiu Jin’er’s panic greatly diminished. Meanwhile, Lan Si God was extremely terrified and looked like he would kneel before the many judges.

“Interesting, there are actually people taking advantage of this chaotic situation to profit.”

The three eyed judges opened his third eye, looked at the three of them and quickly ignored Lan Si God. He proceeded to examine both Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er and said, “Good plan, but aren’t you a little bit too bold and too presumptuous?”

On the other side, a judges with thousand arms raised his hand as the Thousand Plane Divine Mirror appeared in his hand before he faced the mirror at both Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er. This mirror was forged by the godly eye in his palm, allowing him to reflect the previous and current life of his target; as long as the name of this target is in the Book of Life and Death, whatever the target did in his previous and current life will be shown clearly.

“Strange, nothing is shown in the mirror… Are they not from this Six Path World?”

The thousand arm judges said curiously, “Really strange, if they are not beings of this world, why would they want to sneak into our hell?”

“Nothing matters anymore! We ask neither their identity nor origin, whoever trespasses into hell is considered guilty. and they must be punished for this! There are plenty of rooms in the prison of hell!”

Another lion judge laughed coldly and said, “Extraordinary individuals of the Six Path World have always been trying to sneak into hell to remove their name from the Book of Life and Death, trying to cause disruption in the order of this world. But none have succeeded, not to mention two puny pawns like you!”

“Don't even think of running! You can’t possibly think that your masks could help you?”

The judges with huge head followed up, “The dimension around here is now locked, preventing you from running away even after you took down your masks.”

Zhong Yue’s heart thumphed and when he looked around, he realized that the dimension around this place has been locked by countless huge arrays and even the weakest among these judges were judges with power as strong as the Deity Overlords, making it difficult to run away from them.

These judges then looked at Lan Si God, and in an instant, the atmosphere froze as they all shouted, “Traitor! You will end with your soul completely be disintegrated!”

“My kind and powerful judges, these two are messengers sent from above.”

Lan Si God trembled in fear, prompting him to kneel down and say shiveringly, “They are inspectors sent from the high levels. I had no choice. Please! Your humble servant is innocent!”

“Inspector? From the upper levels?” The judges looked at each other and they all smirked.

Zhong Yue took out his token and he said, “Dear colleagues, we never thought our disguise would be discovered, you are really strong.”

Qiu Jin’er too, took out her token and she said, “Who dares to create a fake token?”

A judges got up, examined the tokens over and over again before handing them to another judges and another judge. These judges examined the tokens and they handed them back to Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er.

“What a shame, the tokens are indeed real tokens, but the fact remains that both of you are fake.”

Another judge with tentacles all over his back cackled and said, “Your acting is good, you almost fooled us and you even got your hands on these two original inspector tokens. If this were normal times, we wouldn't be suspicious of you at all. But unfortunately for you, the real inspectors are now in hell and they are somewhere around right now!”

His words startled Qiu Jin’er, caused her to panic slightly as she thought, The real ones are here and they are nearby?”

Without a doubt, fakes like Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er will not be able to escape from having their cover blown before the real ones!

Zhong Yue’s heart also sank before suddenly, he recalled of incident when he encountered that white Wu Chang in the Six Paths Paragon. He then thought, Could he be the inspector these judges are talking about? Impossible, he was obviously sneaking into the tower just like me to alter the book.

“The real inspector is often someone with great talents but they are usually not well-known, the likes of you will never be able to disguise as one of them!”

“Now, let us welcome the real inspector!” One of the judge said.

After a moment, a voice could be heard far away laughing, “My dear friends, you have all greatly amazed me in the battle just now. Now what are we up to again this time?”

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er looked towards the direction and all they saw was white Wu Chang that greeted the many judges politely.

The eighteen judges greeted back and they replied, “We captured these two fake inspectors with real tokens so we wanted to request you to identify them.”

“Fake ones with real tokens?”

White Wu Chang was dumbfounded and when he looked at the duo, he suddenly laughed and said, “How are they fake? These two are my colleagues.”

The judges were all shocked and confused and that goes the same for Qiu Jin’er for she did not expect that he will help them.

One of the judges quickly replied, “Are they really? Why would the higher-ups send them if they have already dispatched you?”

That judges then said coldly again, “Could it be that they do not trust you, hence, the extra two more inspectors?”

White Wu Chang laughed and replied, “I am the one inspecting things on the surface in the light while these two are carrying out their duties in the dark. I am responsible to attract everyone’s attention to ease their job but seems like there is no point for this anymore. My friends, are you all going to kill us, resist the heavens or treat us like your guests now? It all depends on you.”

All of the judges hesitated; they were not completely clean themselves, they had always been accepting bribes and abusing their power for profit. If these three inspectors found out about their sins, they would probably be killed. In an instant, they had the thought of killing the three of them then pushed the responsibilities to the monster ape to avoid being exposed!

But by doing so, they also risk unveiling their wrong doings as this place is filled with demonic gods that are very observant due to their immense power.

However, if the three inspectors failed to find out anything, they would be able to maintain a good relationship with the three of them and attempt to exploit this relationship in the future.

Suddenly, a judges coughed and shouted at Lan Si God, “Little cow! How dare you never notify us about the arrival of these two inspectors? When did you meet up with the two inspectors?”

Lan Si God quickly bowed at them and explained, “Only recently! We also entered the city a few moments ago. You could ask He Zhe God about this if you don’t believe me!”

The judges summoned He Zhe God who guarded the city, asked him questions and he communicated with the other judges immediately, “They just got into the city moments ago, it is impossible that they could find out anything about our plans in just a short time.”

The other judges calmed themselves down right away and as they all laughed happily, they said, “Welcome, honoured guests! It is our fault for causing such troubles to you! Now, shall we get back to the courtyard? This place is not a very good place to prepare a welcome ceremony for you!”

In a blink of an eye, the cold and cruel atmosphere disappeared as everyone laughed, feigning civility and amiability toward each other.
