After Xu Cheng shouted the words, the world in his eyes immediately changed.
Green light with the breath of life fell from the sky, covering Xu Cheng's entire field of vision in the blink of an eye.
There seemed to be countless vegetation growing around him, rising up from the ground around him, forming a huge building.
Suddenly, Xu Cheng thought he was in a dense forest, and seemed to be in a magnificent temple made of vegetation.
An extremely vast aura fell from the sky, making him feel the urge to worship.
The real God of Life finally appeared.
"Tiny human beings."
A voice that could not distinguish between male and female came from above the head: "I have blocked the perception of the demon in your body and told you your origin and purpose."
Xu Cheng did not dare to be careless at all. He was now facing the gods in their heyday, not the old gods in later generations who had been severely weakened by the World Tree.
"Great Lord of Life, I come from the Kingdom of Sauron..."
Xu Cheng lowered his head and told the God of Life his life experience without lying the whole time.
In the presence of a real god, lying is tantamount to living impatiently.
However, Xu Cheng did not lie, he just told the truth selectively.
After all, it is absolutely true that he was persecuted by the devil. Even if he cooperated with the devil in the end, he was forced to do so.
After listening to Xu Cheng's words, the God of Life fell into silence for a long time.
After a long time, his voice sounded.
"Since you have signed a soul contract with the devil and sold it, aren't you afraid of death?"
"If I were afraid of death, I would not choose to tell the truth."
Xu Cheng's tone was extremely firm: "The devil has made a mess of my life and wants to use me as a pawn. Even if I die, I will not succeed in his conspiracy."
Xu Cheng didn't lie, he was indeed not afraid of death.
Anyway, it can be reopened.
The God of Life was silent again, seeming to observe whether Xu Cheng was lying.
After confirming that he really had a death wish, he spoke again.
"Brave man, I will grant your wish, but you have to do something for me first."
Hearing this, Xu Cheng breathed a deep sigh of relief.
If the God of Life chooses to kill the devil directly, then he may have to choose to start over.
Now the God of Life has left the demon behind, and instead requires Xu Cheng to work. Obviously, he wants to use the demon in his body to fight back against the mastermind behind all this.
In other words, the God of Life also used him as a pawn, but this was exactly his purpose.
"There is a gate to hell in the north of Arnold. Demons will always run out of it from time to time. I want you to stay there for a year and eliminate all the demons that run out."
"I will give you hints at critical moments, so go ahead."
After speaking, without waiting for Xu Cheng's reply, the God of Life poured a powerful force into his body.
This power is full of vigorous vitality, allowing his body functions to rapidly evolve and strengthen, and repair many hidden wounds left behind.
He knew that this was a sweet gift given to him by the God of Life, but it probably also meant surveillance.
Before he could thank him, he felt his eyes dazzled. After blinking, he realized that he had been kicked out of the secret realm and returned to the temple.
"How to say?"
The life believers standing aside and waiting asked: "Has your wish come true?"
Xu Cheng shook his head: "No, because my wish is troublesome, so the great Lord of Life ordered me to guard the Gate of Hell in the north of Arnold for a year before he would grant my wish."
"I see."
The attitude of the life believer suddenly became amiable, and he comforted him: "Don't worry, many people are like this. After you complete the instructions of the Lord of Life, there will be unexpected benefits."
Xu Cheng didn't care about the other party's attitude and asked: "Where is the specific location of the Gate of Hell?"
Could this gate of hell be the same place as the gate of hell where I am now?
"If you are not in a hurry, you can take a rest in the temple first. I will send you there tomorrow."
Xu Cheng nodded and was then sent to a luxurious room. The believer also ordered people to bring exquisite food and drinks.
After he left, Xu Cheng immediately said in his heart: "Oops, have you been discovered by the God of Life?"
"What did you say?"
The devil's shocked voice suddenly sounded in his heart, and then, Xu Cheng felt his consciousness being dragged into the original cave.
The demon was floating in the air, and although Mo Hu's face could not be seen clearly, Xu Cheng could feel the other party's anger.
"Why was it discovered?"
"Because I can't hide it anymore."
Xu Cheng told what happened when he was discovered by the God of Life. The truth of the matter became in his mouth that the God of Life had a clear vision and took the initiative to expose the fact that there was a demon hidden in his body, and then ordered him to go to the Hell in the north. Door, he had no choice but to agree.
Xu Cheng was very honest in front of the God of Life, but in front of this demon who had been with him for more than a year, he had no psychological burden at all when he lied.
The devil was a little angry after hearing Xu Cheng's words: "I told you, don't use my power in this place!"
"There's no point complaining about this now. Besides, I don't think I was discovered until I used your power. People are very sharp-eyed."
Xu Cheng threw the question back: "What should we do next?"
The devil remained silent, and Xu Cheng also waited silently.
He knew that he was walking a tightrope jumping left and right, and he might fall into the abyss if he was not careful.
But if he doesn't take risks, he won't be able to get rid of his identity as a chess piece, and he will end up being abandoned after being used.
The devil was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Repeat the process of meeting the God of Life."
Xu Cheng repeated it, and then asked: "Don't you believe me? I signed a soul contract with you. If you die, I will die. Could I be so stupid to reveal your situation to the God of Life?" Send yourself to death?"
The devil also felt that it was unlikely that Xu Cheng had taken the initiative to expose him. His soul had already been sold to the devil. Even if the God of Life made any promise, he could not take his soul back.
After getting along with him for a year and a half, the devil certainly knew that Xu Cheng was not a person who would take death lightly.
"You go to the Gate of Life Hell first and stay there. Whatever the God of Life wants you to do, you do it."
"Then what?"
"Then……"
There was obvious hesitation in the devil's tone: "I will let you know what to do next."
Being discovered by the God of Life, this incident had actually been planned for a long time, but the reaction of the God of Life was unexpected.
Therefore, the devil cannot make the decision and must inform the mastermind behind the matter.
"I see."
At this point, Xu Cheng finally relaxed his anxious heart.
If the two sides fight each other as soon as they come up, then his left and right jumps will be meaningless.
The current situation is very beneficial to him. The two sides are testing each other, guessing each other, and then constantly adding pressure.
By messing up the situation, he could fish in troubled waters.
After resting for a night in the temple, the next day, the life believer came in person to inform him that he could set off.
The believers in life took him to the square of the temple, where an eagle as big as a dragon lived.
The life believer handed a letter to Xu Cheng: "You ride on this condor, and it will send you to the gate of hell in the north of Arnold. You give this letter to the life believer stationed there, and the other party will know what to do." How to do it."
Xu Cheng nodded, accepted the other party's letter, and then climbed onto the back of the giant eagle.
The giant eagle spread its wings and stirred up a strong wind. It lifted Xu Cheng up from the ground and soon reached the sky.
Xu Cheng looked down and saw that the magnificent temple was gradually shrinking, and soon entered the clouds. However, the top of the huge mountain in front of him was still not visible.
The giant eagle flies very fast, and the journey that originally took several months took less than half a day to cross most of Arnold's land and reach the north under its wings.
The north is an inaccessible wasteland, the land is barren, and even plants are rarely seen.
The giant eagle carried Xu Cheng across the wasteland, and finally found a huge deep cave in the wasteland.
From a distance, the cave looked like the eye of the planet. It was pitch black and bottomless. At first glance, Xu Cheng thought that a black hole from another world had appeared again.
The giant eagle swooped directly from the black hole. The hole did not twist and turn, but went straight up and down like a shaft.
Xu Cheng calculated silently and found that the giant eagle took him down at least tens of thousands of meters before finally reaching the bottom of the black hole.
The air here is thin and the temperature is extremely high. Ordinary people cannot survive in such an environment. However, it is not dark, and the surrounding walls are inlaid with luminous stones.
After the giant eagle left Xu Cheng behind, he drove off without looking back. It was basically a one-way ticket.
Before Xu Cheng could stand still, he heard a series of footsteps. Looking back, he saw a man wearing armor and a cloak walking up with a group of soldiers.
Seeing the other person's face through the light source, Xu Cheng blurted out: "Damn it, did you teleport here?"
The person who appeared before him was exactly the same as the life believer who received him in the temple.
The only difference is that the one in front of her should be a woman - the thick armor on her chest holds two ocean bowls upside down.
"Are you from the Temple of Life?"
The other party seemed to be used to Xu Cheng's reaction, and asked coldly: "What do you want to do in this important military place?"
Xu Cheng directly handed her the letter in his hand and let her read it by herself.
After the woman read the letter, her attitude did not change and she was still very cold.
"I am the legion commander of Hell Fortress, Shireen Kanos."
The woman introduced herself first, and then said: "The Gate of Hell is one of the most dangerous places in the world. You have to confront demons every day. If you are here for gold plating, I will give you a chance to regret it and find another place. .”
Xu Cheng didn't mind the cold tone of the other party and pointed at the letter in her hand: "Didn't it say it in the letter? I was specially assigned by the great Lord of Life."
The few soldiers behind seemed to be suppressing laughter, but Shilin's handsome, doll-like face remained indifferent: "Every year, the Lord of Life arranges a large number of people to come to the gate of hell. One more for you will not be more."
Xu Cheng: "..."
He thought he was special. After all, the believer in the temple became very good after hearing this, and looked like he wanted to hug his thigh.
Now it seems that I am afraid that he will regret it and run away temporarily, so he will be amiable.
"Since you insist on staying, don't blame others if you lose your life in the future. You'll have to say ugly things in front of you. Anyone who joins the legion and dares to be a deserter will be killed without mercy!"
Shireen threatened in a stern tone, then turned around and left with the soldiers.
"Follow me."
The bottom of the cave extends in all directions, and a large number of maze-like passages have been dug out.
Xu Cheng followed Shilin's group of people, passing a large number of tight defensive posts along the way, and finally arrived at a huge underground cavity.
An extremely grand military fortress was built in the cave. Directly opposite the fortress, at least ten kilometers away, was a huge rock wall over a thousand meters high, with many twisted cracks vaguely remaining on the rock wall.
When he saw this rock wall, Xu Cheng finally confirmed that this place was the gate of hell where Yin Lisabai would take him to in later generations.
Even though the external environment was different, this door still left a deep impression on him.
I wonder if he will turn into a matryoshka doll if he enters the gate of hell now.
Shilin took Xu Cheng into the military fortress. Along the way, a large number of soldiers could be seen repairing and patrolling, but no ordinary people were seen.
Shilin brought Xu Cheng to the city wall and faced the gate of hell in the distance. At the same time, she used a cold tone to educate him about the situation here.
At least a thousand years ago, there were no creatures like demons on the earth. I don’t know when they gradually appeared in the eyes of the world.
They are insidious, cunning, intelligent, and extremely evil, causing troubles and disasters everywhere.
Many countries are suffering from the dangers of demons and have to establish organizations like the Demon Hunting Society to deal with it, but this method treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.
People began to pursue the origin and origin of the devil.
The hard work paid off. After years of tracing, the creatures on the ground finally found the origin of the devil - they all ran out of the wasteland north of Arnold.
By the time we discovered the Gate of Hell, it was already too late. The devil from Hell was trying to sneak over and invade the world.
In the end, the God of Life personally took action, directly drilling a huge cave tens of thousands of meters deep in the earth, found the location of the crack, and forced back the demon who was preparing to invade, sealing the entire gate to hell.
But the blockade is not complete, and from time to time a large number of demons will run out of the cracks, so they, the life believers, have been building military fortresses here to resist the invasion of demons for hundreds of years.
After listening to Shilin's story, Xu Cheng also understood why the devil targeted the God of Life.
Because it was he who blocked the gate of hell, and only by getting rid of him can the gate of hell be opened unimpeded.
"If you're scared."
Xilin turned to look at Xu Cheng: "I can have someone take you back now."
"I'm not scared."
Xu Cheng was full of confidence: "But I'm not good at fighting. Can you let me be responsible for the logistics?"
Shireen's eyes turned cold, and she was about to scold him for such cowardly behavior, when suddenly a rapid sound of bells interrupted her words.
