Lilly and Ivan returned to the crack in the back door where they had first arrived.
It remained unchanged and was still filled with Moon Hugger crickets. However, the crickets scattered wherever they went.
Lilly asked, "Huh? Why do they seem so scared of us?" Ivan chuckled. "Maybe it's because we've become stronger, and they can sense it!" Radley the radish said, "Mm! Mm! Mm!" No! It knew why! Lilly was curious. "Hmm? Does Radley have something to say?" Ivan looked down at Radley and smiled, "Probably not, right?" Radley was speechless.
It shook its head quickly! My goodness! After not seeing Master for thousands of years, why has his killing intent become so strong? It was better for it to keep silent to save its life! Suddenly, Lilly stopped abruptly! "Oh no!" Ivan was already used to it. If it was really a bad situation, she would have already flown away in a hurry.
From the way she looked now, she probably forgot something again.
"What's wrong? Did you leave something behind?" Did she not have enough of hunting monsters? He didn't need to worry about that. He had been following her while she was hunting and had conveniently put some local specialties into her jar of souls.
"We forgot about the Black Dragon..." Lilly, the small ghost beast, and Speedy looked at each other.
The small ghost beast shouted, "Squeaky!" It was okay if they forgot about that untrustworthy Black Dragon.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLilly shook her head. "Something's not right." Black Dragon wanted that pot of Golden Thunder Water. How could it only take a small bottle and not want the rest? Lilly predicted and found that the Black Dragon was not in danger, so where did it go? Ivan said indifferently, "Don’t worry about it." He looked at the crack in the back door that stood between heaven and earth. Fortunately, not everyone could enter and exit this crack in the back door...
Lilly asked, "By the way, Ivan, how did you and Emperor Eastmount in your previous life predict that | would come to the Nether and open this crack in the back door for me?" Ivan recalled the records and said, "We didn't predict it. It was all just cause and effect.” She learned the golden runes and went to Mount Everest.
At Mount Everest, she learned spirit consciousness and went to the Nether Door.
At the Nether Door, she experienced a great battle with the black-robed man, then advanced to pass the Test of Thunder.
Then, she went to the evil eye, learned the order of time and space...
In fact, she walked through it step by step on her own. Keeping this door was just because she had reached this point and naturally would take the next step.
In the Nether, she avoided the Manifestation of God's will from the underworld, successfully stripped off the Order of the past, and returned as a completely new her...
The back door that he and Emperor Eastmount had planned could only provide her with the Nether, a place where she could temporarily avoid the Manifestation of God's will from the underworld.
She did it herself. She walked all the way here successfully. Although it had something to do with the luck bestowed by the Five Emperors of the Underworld, if she had slackened even a bit, or if her willpower had been weaker...
She wouldn't have come this far.
"Lilly, you're amazing," Ivan looked at her and said seriously.
Lilly's eyes curved into a smile. "Thank you, Ivan, you're amazing too." He laughed.
She said, "By the way, | forgot that the original purpose of coming from the depths of the evil eye was to uproot the foundation of the Heavenly Court..." The only thing strange was that she couldn't see the Nether Chain after coming to the Nether.
"Why is the other end of the Nether Chain tied to Emperor Eastmount's palace magical artifact? Who tied up the Earth Goddess?" Ivan pondered for a moment and said, "It should still be King Earthid. I've met him, and he mentioned that there was a time when his consciousness was not blurred." That must have been the time when the black-robed man was causing trouble, manipulating King Earthid's body.
With King Earthid's own power, he was able to connect the Nether Chain to Queen Earthen.
What was puzzling was how he connected the other end of the chain to Emperor Eastmount's Heavenly Court...
"Is the Nether Chain long enough to reach across the Nether?" Lilly had been studying the map of the Nether with Ivan for the past few days and could see that the main gate and the back door of the Nether were very far apart.
It was almost as long as the entire Apend.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"The Earth Goddess is still bound..." Lilly said guiltily. "We promised to help free her." Ivan turned her head and motioned for her to look up. "Look... do you see it?" The Nether Chain was in the sky.
Lilly focused and finally saw it. It was a massive chain spanning the Nether. There really was such a long chain! "Wow... How is this possible?!" she exclaimed. "I didn't see it when | first arrived.” She hadn't even noticed it just now.
Ivan said, "I didn't see it at first either, but now | can." It was because they were not the same as when they first arrived.
"If we work together, we should be able to untie it," Ivan said. "Follow me." He took hold of Lilly's hand, and together they soared into the sky of the Nether! The nine heavens must be like this, right? Clouds surrounded them as Lilly and Ivan passed through layer after layer of clouds.
The Nether Chain became more and more visible until its complete form was finally revealed...
Suddenly, Lilly noticed something squirming on the chain.
"What is that black thing? Why does it look so familiar?" At that moment, the Black Dragon was struggling.
It was quite embarrassing, to say the least! After obtaining the Golden Thunder Water, it began to refine and enhance itself.
It was already on the verge of death, and perhaps it would have turned into a pile of bones in a few years, but unexpectedly, it had a breakthrough after refining the Golden Thunder Water. At least it wouldn't die from exhaustion due to its inability to advance in The Order! In excitement, it let out a long roar as it broke through the clouds—after all, dragons were meant to soar into the sky, right? But to its surprise, there was a massive chain in the sky, and it became entangled in one of the chain links as it ascended...
Not only was it stuck, but it couldn't free itself! The Black Dragon was in a state of panic. On one hand, it had made a promise to Lilly to meet her in three days, and several days had already passed.
On the other hand, it felt extremely embarrassed. A dragon that had just experienced a breakthrough was filled with so much excitement that it soared into the sky only to become entangled in a chain.
This incident dealt a significant blow to its pride.
If others were to discover this, they would burst into laughter! Fortunately, this mishap occurred in the sky, where it was unlikely for anyone to witness...
