Chapter 976: Chapter 974: The Role of the Dead Man’s Fruit
Li Yin was also unhappy and angrily said, "We don’t want any reward, we just want to go back."
Chu Hao stared at the other party with ill intent. He could sense that this guy was very afraid of the Reincarnation Blade.
However, if they really wanted to take down the other party, the question remained whether the two of them could leave.
The guide said, "Let me finish speaking first, before you make a decision."
The dried-up guide looked at Chu Hao and said, "I didn’t expect you could walk out from there, and even bring out my original physical body. I’m quite surprised at this."
"The Hell Gate is full of dangers, I’m sure you’ve seen it too. It emits a substance that only the dead can be immune to. For ordinary living people who enter, they disappear instantly. But you’re different; you can enter with the protection of the Reincarnation Blade, and obtain the most precious things inside."
Chu Hao glared at the other party, seemingly ready to swing his blade at any moment.
The guide continued, "I’ve been lingering on the edge of the Rebirth Realm for too long, always wanting to obtain what’s inside. It can remove your name from the Book of Life and Death."
Remove a name from the Book of Life and Death?
That sounds impressive.
"What’s the use of removing a name?" Li Yin asked.
The guide said, "Transcending life and death, the Death Realm cannot reclaim you, meaning you can exist forever, becoming a part of heaven and earth. Even a Divine Deity will die, but you won’t."
Li Yin curiously said, "I still don’t understand, what’s it mean to not die? Every human dies eventually and goes to the Underworld, drinks a bowl of Granny Meng’s Soup, and forgets everything. What’s the difference?"
The guide sneered and replied, "The Yin Cao Netherworld you’re talking about is just a knockoff, merely a hope those bigwigs give you."
"I’ve said, even gods will die, and Yanjun will too. Once they die, they still have to come to the Death Realm."
"But you won’t. Once your name is removed from the Book of Life and Death, so-called Granny Meng’s Soup and the Six Realms Reincarnation Platform won’t affect you. Even in reincarnation, you’ll carry your memories."
Carry memories in reincarnation?
Isn’t this just rebirth?
Chu Hao exclaimed, "Can you really be reborn with memories?"
The guide said, "That’s just one of its benefits."
Chu Hao asked, "What exactly is the thing you’re talking about?"
The guide replied seriously, "I risked death entering the Hell Gate to find it, the Dead Man’s Fruit. If I can obtain it, I can find a way to remove you from the Book of Life and Death."
Chu Hao had a strange expression.
The guide sighed, "Unfortunately, entering the Hell Gate subjects you to the grey substance of the Death Realm. Even I cannot endure it and had to give up halfway. Moreover, according to my investigation, the Dead Man’s Fruit is guarded by something else. If you provoke them, no one can help you."
The guide lamented the hardships of searching for the Dead Man’s Fruit.
Chu Hao took out a dried-up fruit and said, "Is this what you’re talking about?"
The guide raised his head and suddenly saw the fruit in Chu Hao’s hand.
"Dead, Dead Man’s Fruit?" The guide was dumbstruck.
The guide rushed over, but Chu Hao swung the Reincarnation Blade and forced him back.
The other party still feared the Reincarnation Blade.
The guide was shocked, "This, this is the Dead Man’s Fruit, how do you have it?"
Chu Hao casually replied, pretending, "This thing isn’t hard to find, there are plenty on the altar below the cave. I took one out to play, is there a problem?"
"Ding... Host casually pretended to be cool successfully, delivering a ten-thousand-point critical hit of damage inside the guide’s heart, earning 9000 Pretentiousness Points."
What the heck!!
The guide nearly spat blood, after all the hard effort I put into finding it, you just casually took it out?
The guide exclaimed, "How is that possible, you went into the cave?"
Chu Hao blinked, "Is there a problem?"
It’s not about whether there’s a problem.
This darn thing.
What kind of monster are you?
After a long time, the guide bitterly said, "Why is heaven so unfair!"
Saying this, the guide stared at the Dead Man’s Fruit in Chu Hao’s hand, "Give it to me, I’ll send you out."
Chu Hao said, "Why should I believe you?"
"I...!" The guide was helpless.
If I had known you had this ability, and could bring out the Dead Man’s Fruit, I wouldn’t have gotten us into this awkward situation.
"Take a Blood Curse," the guide said.
"Okay."
The Blood Curse isn’t something casually taken; everyone in the Yin and Yang Realm knows that once it’s violated, it will invoke the effect of a curse.
The guide took a Blood Curse, exhausting his limited essence blood, and was immediately exhausted.
Chu Hao asked, "What exactly is that cave?"
The guide replied wearily, "Dead Man’s Cave, once you jump in, you become an offering."
Chu Hao was surprised, so many people were actually offerings?
What the heck is this Hell Gate then.
"And those altars? After I took the Dead Man’s Fruit, coffins appeared."
The guide shuddered all over, even though he was dried up, he could feel the fear.
"You saw them?"
Chu Hao nodded slightly, "These guys wanted to chase me, but couldn’t catch up, really quite weak."
"Ding... Host successfully boasted pretentiously, earning 9000 Pretentiousness Points."
The guide was speechless, whether or not it’s true, the fact that Chu Hao could escape from them is already impressive.
"They are Ghost Demons of the Death Realm, specialized in absorbing the power of offerings."
Li Yin curiously asked, "They are Ghost Demons, what are you then?"
The guide was a bit embarrassed, "I used to be an envoy of the Rebirth Realm, but not anymore."
Turns out this guy has been pretending all this time?
Who knew you’d be so impressive.
In the Yin Cao Netherworld, you’re just the ghost officiant who leads the way?
The guide awkwardly tried to save face, "The Death Realm is different from the Underworld you know, my status, even Yanjun would have to show some respect."
He wanted to say, my face is still quite big.
Chu Hao disdainfully said, "You’re just a ghost officiant, shouldn’t even be counted as one."
The guide was speechless, "Give me some face."
Now, Chu Hao understood.
The Yin Cao Netherworld is just a part of the Netherworld Continent.
The Underworld accommodates ghosts due to the special relationship with the Netherworld, absorbing them into the Netherworld.
But true death brings one to the Rebirth Realm here.
Moreover, even the famous Yanjun of the Underworld will die.
Once they die, they also have to come to the Rebirth Realm.
Chu Hao felt close to the truth earlier; thinking about General Nanweng Wafu’s words, the Underworld is merely part of the Netherworld Continent, it all makes sense.
The real Hell is the Rebirth Realm.
Suddenly, Li Yin let out a cry, "Someone’s coming."
Who?
They looked and saw, halfway up the white slope, a long-haired woman standing there. In the dark illumination, her figure stretched long.
The terrifying part is, the woman didn’t have eyes.
"Who?" the guide shouted aloud.
Chu Hao was stunned, without saying a word, grabbed the guide and Li Yin and ran.
