I changed the world.

If what those myths, legends, and tales say is true, then if I were captured, it would probably be anything but good...

..........................................

"This...this extraordinary person...I...I was merely observing out of curiosity...and...did not participate..."

“Can…get…can…you…③can you put the little guy on the table as a…butt-puller…let him go…” Just as Xu Linghan was bound by the Dream Chains, behind the bushes not far from the altar, Wei Yuan was also stammering as he looked at the ghost god beside him, wearing a tall hat and black clothes. At this distance, he could even clearly see the four large characters on the tall hat on the head of the huge white-faced ghost god:

"We're here to catch you."

To be honest, the moment Wei Yuan saw those four words, he believed them... because they were exactly the same as the descriptions in the folk legends of the Great Zhao Dynasty about ghost messengers collecting souls after death...

At this moment, Wei Yuan was also chained up. Unlike Xu Hanzhang, he was chained up by the wrist. Even so, the coldness of the unusually thick chains, which seemed to freeze the soul, still made him shiver.

As for resistance... Although Wei Yuan had served in the army and was usually seen as a decisive and ruthless character, he felt only fear in the face of this unprecedented scene and could not muster any desire to resist.

What a joke! If this were the government in the mortal realm, there might be a chance of rebellion, but these are underworld officials, living underworld officials! Even if you run, where can you run to? Do you think you can live forever? Sooner or later, you'll fall into their hands.

"There are gods watching over you from above. All your deeds are recorded by the gods."

The enormous underworld official stared coldly at Wei Yuan: "Whether you are guilty or not will be decided by the judge later. If you are innocent, you will be released. If you are guilty..." The underworld official snorted and stopped speaking.

Wei Yuan felt the intense chill emanating from the underworld official. This wasn't just a simple physical temperature drop, but a chill that seemed to seep into the depths of his soul, making him extremely uncomfortable and causing him to shiver even more violently. With a mournful expression, he said, "But... but I have an eighty-year-old father... and... a young child crying for food... truly... truly my lifespan hasn't ended yet..."

"All things have their order, and Yin and Yang are separated. The Yin officials do not hold the seal of Yang. If it is an ordinary mundane matter, even if it is a heinous crime, it will only be arrested and punished by the Yin court on the day of one's death."

"However, using living people to practice evil magic is a grave crime, unforgivable. Arrest him immediately!" The underworld official's voice was hoarse, carrying a sinister undertone. Upon hearing this, Wei Yuan felt a chill run down his spine. He knew his own family was involved, and he knew he was far from "clean" in this matter; he was, in a sense, an "accomplice."

We're in big trouble!

Master Yu, you've really got me killed this time!!!

If he had known that this matter would lead to the intervention of the underworld, which exists only in mythology, even if Mr. Wei wanted to seize the assets of the Qianluo Group, he probably wouldn't have dared to use such methods!

Then, he quickly realized something: if the underworld truly existed, then wouldn't that mean... he really was going to be punished for the things he had done?!

He recalled the words of the underworld official beside him: "There are gods three feet above your heads; all your deeds are recorded by the wandering gods."

As a servant of the Wei family and a confidant of Wei Feng, the second master of the Wei family, Wei Yuan naturally did many shady things, directly or indirectly, to obtain considerable benefits for Wei Feng.

Before this, he hadn't thought there was anything wrong with it. After all, he was doing what he was asked to do, and this was what Wei Yuan did for a living. In particular, the second master of the Wei family had treated him well, and nominally, he had even given him the position of a bank director, which was enough to make him wholeheartedly devoted to the company.

However, all of this was done without any consequences. Wei Yuan, the chairman, had never believed in anything about retribution after death. What a joke! What retribution? When a person dies, the birds fly to the sky. Death is death, what retribution is there...

However, the current situation forced him to consider this possibility...

His heart pounded wildly, and the more Wei Yuan thought about it, the more frightened he became. His whole body trembled uncontrollably...

..................................................................

Just as Wei Yuan was trembling, Yu Huai, inside the altar, lunged to the side like a vicious dog grabbing at excrement, narrowly avoiding the chain that was being pulled out. The thick chain, accompanied by a howling wind, swung back.

At the same time, Yu Huai formed hand seals and chanted incantations. Suddenly, the void beside him became deep and dark. Then, a monster with bony wings flapping, hissing, and waving a pair of sharp claws flew out from it. The monster looked somewhat like an infant, but its mouth was full of sharp teeth as it bared its teeth.

Then came the second, the third... and nine monsters appeared in a row.

The infants circled in the air, and upon seeing the underworld officials, they hesitated, seemingly unwilling to fly over. Instead, they flapped their wings, trying to get away from them, as if these officials naturally carried some kind of aura that instilled fear in them...

"Come on!!!"

"Hurry up and get there!!!"

At this moment, Yu Huai formed a hand seal and pointed at the underworld messengers again. Under his powerful urging, the nine infant-like monsters finally roared and pounced on the underworld messengers!

"How dare you, you fiend! You actually resist arrest!"

However, in the next moment, one, two, three, or even a dozen chains burst forth like the tentacles of an octopus!

The three fastest flying monsters were struck directly by the chains, letting out a shrill cry as they were whipped to pieces in mid-air, turning into dust that filled the sky.

The little monsters then scattered in terror, screaming, and tried to attack the underworld officials from other positions. One of them circled in the sky and then circled towards the leader of the underworld officials, as if trying to find an opening on his side.

Then, the underworld messenger made a grabbing motion in the air, and a thick white stick appeared in his hand. It was unclear what the stick was made of, but it seemed to be covered with countless tiny strips of paper, looking just like the mourning stick used in funeral rites in the Great Zhao.

However, the mourning staff in the hands of this underworld official looked to be at least two meters long and as thick as an adult's thigh. It seemed extremely heavy, but the underworld official only swung it casually, and the staff brought up a howling wind pressure.

The next moment, as the mourning stick was swung up, a tremendous suction force seemed to surge from the stick!

The monster that had circled to the side flapped its wings and immediately changed direction upon seeing the staff, trying to get away. However, it was too late. A tremendous suction force surged from nowhere, growing stronger and stronger. Although the monster struggled desperately, it was actually being pulled backward, being pulled down directly from the air and thrown towards the staff...

The monster flapped its bone wings incessantly, emitting a shrill and piercing howl. However, in that instant, it was completely unable to break free from the suction force. Finally, it was pulled to a distance of only a few meters from the underworld official. At this moment, the monster gave up on escaping and turned around to try to attack the underworld official. However, the underworld official simply flicked his staff, a seemingly light and effortless strike that could not even scratch the skin, yet it directly reduced the monster to ashes!

Meanwhile, as Yu Huai summoned the monsters, his gaze fell upon the mother and child monsters still swirling and dancing on the altar. A strange light flashed in his eyes, and then his right hand reached into his chest, forcefully pulling off the golden infant statue that had been hanging on his chest. His face hardened, and he bit down hard on the statue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto it…

Strangely enough, after the blood splattered on the statue, it was instantly absorbed like water splashed on sand. As the blood was absorbed, Yu Huai suddenly threw the statue into the air!

The statue seemed to be drawn by some force, flying towards the direction of the mother and child monsters in the air...

Just as he threw the statue to the side of the mother and child monsters, the mother and child monsters in the air suddenly let out a sharp screech. Then, as if pulled by some inexplicable force in the void, one of the smaller monsters began to swell and stretch...

"Bang!!!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang, and the little monster exploded out of thin air!

Then the second little monster exploded in the same way!

Then the largest monster, also roaring, swelled its entire body into a twisted and grotesque shape, and then exploded a third time...

As these explosions occurred, the statue suddenly froze in the void. Then, the void around it began to cave inward, like a black hole. A deep black dot appeared in the void with the statue as its core. Then, this black dot rapidly grew larger and became a void that appeared out of thin air!

A strange, gray-black hand emerged from the hole, followed by another outstretched hand...

The third outstretched hand...

Even countless hands...

Aside from their color, these hands resembled human hands, slippery and seemingly oozing a strange, pus-like liquid. They were tearing at the hole in a chaotic, frantic manner, as if preparing to let a larger body pass through from another unknown space...

Just as the three monsters in the air exploded one after another, Xu Hanzhang, who had been pulled to the side of the underworld official by chains, suddenly began to convulse. He was like a fish out of water, his eyes and mouth wide open, seemingly in extreme pain, yet unable to utter a single word...

He struggled to turn his head and look at Yu Huai in the distance. His mouth moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn't utter a word. The next moment, as if his bones had been removed, he collapsed to the ground, limp and weak...

"Descend!!! Descend!!!!" Yu Huai stared at the monster crawling out of the sky, his eyes filled with madness. He seemed to have aged decades in an instant, and his once healthy black hair had turned gray and mottled.

But then he took a deep breath, turned around, and ran...

Volume Two: The Truth Hidden Behind History Books: Chapter 776 Demons!!!

As he ran, he began to cough violently, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth with each cough, as if his entire lungs were about to be coughed up. Even so, he dared not stop for a moment, stumbling and running forward with all his might.

In order to leave this place, he has used his most powerful magic to summon the terrifying monster that he had previously cautiously tested but dared not touch into this world...

He had always been a cautious person, and he hadn't dared to try to grasp the hidden knowledge within the golden statue beforehand. Instead, he planned to try to probe it repeatedly first...

However, at this moment, there is no time left!

He wasn't even going to keep the golden statue he always kept close to his body. He just wanted it to buy him some time!

Although he was heartbroken, he could still tell the difference between what was important and what was not. It was clear that today's events could not be resolved peacefully.

Although he had never encountered the ghosts and gods of the underworld before, even a fool would know that if he went to the underworld, he would definitely not have a good ending for what he had done.

As for whether he could defeat those underworld officials... that's nonsense! Yu Huai knew his own limitations. He wasn't one of those great gods favored by heaven and earth in myths and legends. How could such a thing be possible? Besides, places like the underworld had existed for countless millennia. How could someone like him, who had only recently entered the world of martial arts, possibly handle it?

Yu Huai's only thought at that moment was to escape from here, flee to Southeast Asia, and never return...

Fortunately, his cheap apprentice took the "price" for him. Although he still suffered the backlash, it was ultimately bearable...

He was now incredibly grateful that he had planted a trap for his apprentice early on. He had originally planned to wait until everything was settled, fulfill Mr. Wei's request, and then harvest his value. But he never expected that everything would end before it even began.

Fortunately, it's always better to be safe than sorry...

After running a few steps, he spat out another mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper!

Yu Huai reached out shakily and took out a strange, dark brown object from his pocket that looked like congealed blood that had been sitting there for who knows how long. He hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it hard. An unnatural blush appeared on his pale face, but his breathing began to become smooth. He continued forward without stopping!

..........................................

The monster in the sky, like a starving dog that has been hungry for days suddenly spotting a piece of succulent roasted meat, eagerly rushed through the black hole in the void. At this moment, one could see that it was a bizarre entity composed of countless heads and arms. These heads laughed and screamed, emitting piercing sounds like the cries of infants.

If you look closely, you'll find that most of these heads are chubby, like the shape of a human baby. They are densely packed together, forming a huge structure that resembles both a giant slug and a corn cob...

The monster's body appeared quite flexible. It twisted its body, completely ignoring the existence of Earth's gravity, just like a mollusk swimming in water. In just a few breaths, it had already swum a large part of its body a considerable distance out of the black hole in a kind of "swimming" manner.

The monsters appearing in this world are already over thirty meters tall and are still surging forth. Their writhing heads and arms are enough to make anyone with trypophobia lose control on the spot…

Then they saw the monster's head, which looked like a dense mass of tumors, greedily surveying the world the moment it burst out of the black hole. They laughed, made noise, and scanned the surrounding sky. Soon, these monsters were attracted by the strong smell of blood from the altar below.

Some of the heads let out excited screams, their open mouths filled with sharp teeth, and their arms waved as if trying to grab the blood.

It even changed direction, trying to swim towards the altar below. Then, it suddenly stopped twisting, and all the heads on it turned their gazes toward the underworld messengers who were also staring at them from the altar.

Immediately afterwards, the heads all showed expressions of fear, their bodies twisting as if hesitating, and even seemingly showing signs of retreating...

But on the pale face of the leading underworld official, a look that seemed to be both crying and laughing appeared:

"demon!!!"

"Anyone who dares to break the law will be executed!!!"

"Immediately! Annihilate! Them!!!"

That sinister, low voice, carrying a chilling murderous intent, rolled across the earth like muffled thunder...
