Chapter 1754: Chapter 1299: Next Stop, Heaven (2)
"The question circles back." Diya spread her hands: "How do we enter Hell to find Ash?"
"Six-winged Trial."
Sonia clapped her hands lightly, delivering the crucial message: "The ascension information we gain after completing the Six-winged Trial is ’at the top of Hell, step into the bottom layer of Heaven.’ The top of Hell, the bottom of Heaven, actually is the earth."
Everyone showed expressions of sudden enlightenment, realizing they had ignored such a crucial message for the Six-winged Trial.
"How can you be sure it’s the earth?" Vishi asked.
"I don’t know either, but when I recalled this information, a thought suddenly popped into my mind: Level Six of Hell only has five levels, the Seven Heavens only have six levels, the highest level of Hell combined with the lowest level of Heaven makes the earth, so the correct way to ascend to Divine Lord is to hold high the Heavenly Kingdom on earth."
Sonia glanced at a photo of the four of them as Brides, and said softly: "I’ve never entered Level Six of Hell, nor do I know that it only has five levels, so the only reason I would think this way... is because Ash told me."
"World Secret Domain, ascension method, and our Prison Wings..." Diya felt uncomfortable, "What else did he do for us before he left?"
"And his departure." Freyja said seriously: "After he disappeared, you were all so happy, for your happiness, he set you free."
Siflin looked at Freyja incredulously, not expecting this 36° Meiwa to be able to say something so cold. But she saw that the Meiwa’s pupils were still heart-shaped, which showed that her words were actually meant to convey that Ash was the best lover in the world.
But unintentional sharp words are the most fatal; Diya’s hair color instantly looked like a messy splash of paint, Weiser looked as if ready to extinguish, and even Vishi bit her lower lip, her whole demeanor wilting.
Only Sonia remained calm.
"Don’t think of him so well, how could a ragged person who crawled out of a trash can set us free?" she said calmly: "He will definitely return from Hell to continue entangling us until the end."
"That’s right!" Freyja nodded heavily: "Ash will definitely come back!"
"So are we actually already in Hell now? Is the real Hell beneath us?" Siflin pondered, "Then the channel to enter Hell from the earth might be..."
"Abyss!" they said in unison, Freyja even more eager: "There’s an Abyss right in Kaimon City, let’s quickly—"
"The Abyss can’t lead to Hell, I’ve tried."
Sonia’s words instantly extinguished everyone’s enthusiasm, "Before I came to Blood Moon, I had entered the largest and deepest ’Eternal Abyss’ of Dazzling Star, a full eighteen layers from the surface, and then I used Wonder to dig down three kilometers further, and guess what I encountered?"
"Lava? Ocean currents?" Since it wasn’t Hell, everyone guessed at other natural phenomena.
"It was the ’Edge’." Sonia said: "I very clearly felt that I had reached the edge of the world, and if I wanted to break through the edge, I would shake the whole world."
"I’ve tried exploring the limits of the sky before." Vishi said: "I also encountered a similar edge. It’s not really a secret, many mages know that the earth is actually a giant egg, protected by an eggshell."
"So, if we want to enter Hell, do we first need to destroy the world?" Felix was dumbfounded.
"Then let’s destroy the world!" Freyja said viciously.
Sonia shook her head: "I actually think the earth is not the closest place to Hell."
She turned to the last page of a diary photocopy where Ash encountered the Princess group during the third Angel Hunt: "Tamasi mentioned to Ash that she trades with demigods and angels from the ’Forbidden Hunting Zone’, obtaining resources to keep the people of the Heavenly Kingdom of Thousand Wishes alive."
"Not to mention what exactly the Forbidden Hunting Zone is, this reveals a key piece of information: the Angels residing in Heaven and the demigods in Hell have a channel for trading and can even visit each other!"
"There’s another crucial piece of information." Sonia held up two fingers: "We all know there are five-winged angels under the Divine Lord, but those five-winged mages should all be in Hell, so why can they go to Heaven to serve the Divine Lord? How is this different from smuggling through the Void Realm?"
"The most likely scenario is that the travel restrictions between Hell and Heaven are much looser than we imagined, at least looser than between Hell and the earth. There are many demigods in Heaven, but over a thousand years on earth, it seems like only a few of us exist!"
"The place closest to Hell is actually Heaven."
Vishi’s eyes widened: "Could you mean..."
"And another thing," Sonia clapped her hands heavily: "If Ash is truly caught in a world-destroying crisis and believes we’re not capable of helping him, then it would be meaningless for us to find him, as we’d only be watching helplessly. So, before we find him, we must have the strength to fight alongside him."
"Two things point to the same answer." The Red-haired Swordswoman said slowly, word by word: "Hold high the Heavenly Kingdom, and master Heaven!"
"Only by trampling Heaven can we possibly reclaim Ash!"
"No time to meticulously prepare as per the original plan, we must enter the highest shrine that mages dream of as quickly as possible, facing the most powerful group of mages throughout history."
