"When Demons brought the apocalypse, they did not just create a gate way to invade earth; they created a gate way to and from the underworld to this earth," Vine explained.
"The Underworld?" Lenny asked.
"Yes, the Underworld. It's a really dreadful place. I won't even pray for my enemies to stay there, and I have very terrible ones. If you think these lands are barren, then the underworld will shock you silly."
"Is that the reason why demons brought the apocalypse to earth, to escape their barren world?" Lenny asked.
Surprisingly, Vine shook her head.
"It seems you are in brief need of a bit of education. As your sister-in-law, I won't mind teaching you a bit..."
Lenny raised a brow at this. After all, she was the one who said that she did not want him marrying her sister.
Secondly, isn't marrying Gar the same thing as marrying her?
Nevertheless, he intentionally did not voice this point.
He needed information, and she could provide it.
"Demons are a strong species, but their reproductive rate is very low, and so they make up for their numbers with other races. In this manner, we have pure blood and half-blood.
Trust me, most demons you have ever seen in your life are not pure blood. However, most have embraced their demon nature, casting aside their other nature.
In doing this, one could reap the great benefits attached to their demon nature but also risk the benefits of their race.
Although I'm not sure about it, demons are rumored to have come from Hell. The land of eternal damnation
It is said that they shared the nine levels with the Devils and also the Fallen.
All of Hell's races were ruled by the Morningstar, and he brought balance and order for hundreds of thousands of years.
From Hell, war against the other realms was waged.
The Fallen took Purgatory for itself, and Demons took the underworld, crowning it their new abode.
It was all in the grand vision of the Morningstar to challenge Heaven after he was wrongly accused of insubordination.
At least that's what I heard. Nevertheless, the Morningstar aimed to conquer all realms so he could conquer 'The One Above All'."
"Conquer?" Lenny asked, finding it hard to believe, "Are you sure it's not punishing wrongdoers?"
Vine thought about this a bit, "Well, if you put it that way, he did punish a lot of wrongdoers on his way."
Hearing this made Lenny feel proud of his master.
His mind quickly dismissed the part of the Morningstar wanting to conquer the realms, tagging it as false.
After all, he believed that the morningstar was bringing those realms salvation.
"The Realms, regardless of their kinds, are grouped into:
The Above: The Heavens
The In-between: Purgatory, Ethereal
The Middles, or Middle Realms: the Nine Earths
The In-between: Underworld
The Below: Hell
These worlds are mostly connected to one another in this order but balanced by the cosmic rules to separate their dimensions from one another.
Not even the nine Earths that are of the same grouping can easily find one another."
Lenny examined the explanation that Vine gave a little and could not help but feel like a lot of information was missing.
Although he did understand a big part of it, and it was easy to reason that it was easier to go to any of the other nine Earths than it was to go to purgatory, some things did not make sense.
For example, the Nether was not in this classification.
And so he asked.
"I don't understand. What of the Nether realm?"
"Oh! I see. You are talking about witches and stuff. Well, firstly, a quick side. Witches here are different from witches in the underworld.
Secondly, which is the answer you are looking for, By the way, this grouping I just gave is for the realms known to have been created by the 'One Above All'.
However, that's the thing. Realms like The Nether or The Void are not part of this listing.
Many scholars of the underworld say that they are not a part of the worlds created by the 'One Above All'.
They don't carry the 'SOUL EQUATION'.
Yet, for some reason no one knows, they vibrate at frequencies that are easy to access by those of the 'Soul Equation'."
Vine sighed. "There is a whole magic and science to it that I do not want to get into right now."
Even though she said this, Lenny could clearly see that she was really holding herself back from talking any more.
From this small interaction, he could easily tell the kind of person Vine was.
She was definitely a knowledge-hungry freak. Naturally, it was easy for Lenny to tell what kind of person her opposite personality was.
It was no wonder that the moment Gar took control of the body, she wanted to hump him.
Compared to Gar, Lenny believed Vine to be more useful.
Vine continued explaining, and he listened with rapt attention. After all, knowledge was a kind of power, the kind that Lenny valued a lot.
"Realms like The Nether or The Void are considered soulless. They are of the Eternal Cold. In truth, they are even a shortcut in between the realms, but not even some lesser gods can survive the trip through one of their portals. For this reason, many scholars call them the negatives. In truth, we do not know how many negative realms are in existence.
It is rumored that they might just be as much as the known realms made by the 'One Above All'.
Some say they might be more.
Of course, there have been one or two foolish people who have been unfortunate enough to try and explore the negative realms. None of them have been able to make it back.
For those that have souls, it is essentially a one-way trip."
(Author's note: Now you know just a bit of how big this world is. I wonder what adventures Lenny will have. I really can't wait... Remember to leave some golden tickets behind. Thanks fam)
