Chapter 320 Secrets of the Underworld
Jiang Chaosheng looked at the room full of people and felt a headache coming on.
The Mirror of Knowledge said that all the members of the Forbidden Society betrayed him.
This mirror never lies, but it's always deceiving you.
Now he finally understood what that "betrayal" meant.
Upon closer reflection, the Mirror of Knowledge is indeed malevolent.
If a different, less-than-ideal leader were in charge, in their panic and fear, they might actually harm members of the Forbidden Society.
The Mirror of Knowledge also said that he would be cursed because of a woman.
This also fulfilled the prophecy that Medusa killed the last remaining buyer, plunging him into the Rainy Night Curse.
If there hadn't been a reaction period before the curse broke out, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
But it's not over yet.
Today is December 2nd, and there isn't much time left until the date the Mirror of Knowledge mentioned—December 25th.
He glanced at the rainy night outside and said, "Notify the Bureau of Abnormalities to send over all the forbidden items, including the male prostitute."
Also, Anxiang Street is too deserted; let them lift the lockdown.
After learning that the antique shop had changed its manager, the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs implemented two checks and balances:
First, they withheld twelve forbidden items, including the Cowherd's lover, from being returned.
Secondly, Anxiang Street was blocked off to prevent buyers from visiting.
These two moves are tantamount to locking up the new manager, which will eventually trap her and kill her.
Jin Meiting smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."
After saying that, she swayed her slender waist and went out the door, sending a message to Li Mingyue.
A moment later she returned, placed her phone on the table, and gracefully sat down: "The security restrictions on Anxiang Street have been lifted, and those forbidden items are being transported here."
Medusa sighed inwardly.
No wonder Emperor Fang Shi in the basement mocked her ignorance.
She had read the notes of the previous managers and knew that they were very wary of the authorities.
Yet, Huang Hun was able to command the officials, and the officials were even quite loyal to him. How was this any different from a human emperor?
Jin Meiting thought for a moment, then said, "There's one more thing."
When you come back tonight—
She glanced at Li Xinyuan: "When Xiaolingyu tried to stop you, a woman named Quinn came to your aid."
She was already in poor condition, and then Li Xinyuan severely injured her. The Anomaly Management Bureau couldn't treat her, and her life was in danger.
Jiang Chaosheng frowned slightly.
Quinn?
That masked man in black robes?
He remembered that person saying to him with a death-defying air, "Just return the favor to Yang Xiao."
But can this debt really be entirely attributed to Yang Xiao?
Doesn't he know what kind of person Yang Xiao is?
Most of them use moral blackmail and other similar tactics to lure people in.
That woman named Quinn probably won't get any benefit from Yang Xiao.
People's true nature is revealed in times of crisis.
Yang Xiao's willingness to help when he was in trouble demonstrates his loyalty.
But how can Quinn repay this debt of gratitude?
He was usually cold-hearted, but he valued loyalty and righteousness highly.
Moreover, this was practically a life-saving favor for him.
A hint of emotion flickered in his eyes as he looked up at Jin Meiting:
Tell the Bureau of Abnormalities that there's no need to send the forbidden item.
Get ready now, we'll go get it ourselves.
Jin Meiting nodded and was about to go out to send a message when Jiang Chaosheng added, "Also, bring Quinn back too."
He looked at Raven: "Go there. I want Quinn alive."
Xie Ya stood up and solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute: "As you command, sir."
Joking aside, once the master has given the task, we must get serious.
After saying that, he quickly left the antique shop, not daring to delay for even a moment.
Medusa listened with disbelief on her face.
Gods have always treated humans like beasts.
No matter how loyal a human is, in the eyes of the gods, they are nothing more than an obedient dog.
But in this Zero Antique Shop, it's completely upside down. Judging from Jin Meiting's words, Quinn is just a weak human who can't even reach the Earth level.
To take on such a minor role, a mid-level god had to make a personal trip.

Jiang Chaosheng watched Xie Ya leave and said, "Let's get down to business."
Everyone fell silent, staring intently at him—
Except for Medusa, whose eyes were covered by a purple veil.
"Our current enemy is the Avici Hell."
Everyone's eyes widened at the same time.
hell?
The legendary Avici Hell?
That's a place that only exists in legends.
It feels like we're just kids playing house, imitating gangsters.
Suddenly, someone told them that their current enemy was the Mafia.
It's too fantastical, too...mysterious.
In fact, Jiang Chaosheng didn't know why Hell was targeting him so much.
He once thought that the target of hell was the Antique Shop Zero.
Even after the antique shop changed hands, the infernal hell continued to cause him trouble.
This shows that the one who wants to kill in the Avici Hell is only himself.
The reason may lie with the last emperor, Xin.
He had an ambiguous relationship with Emperor Xin.
He didn't think it was a bad thing.
At the very least, he could find out his relationship with Di Xin through the Avici Hell, and also learn the secrets of the gods from the Avici Hell.
He had thought the gods were far removed from him, but now he realized they were inextricably linked to him. Those gods were probably like the deepest hell, unwilling to let him live.
"but."
Jiang Chaosheng glanced around and said, "You guys are too weak, you're only at the prefecture level."
Everyone looked at each other.
They were well aware of the vast difference between themselves and the powerful beings of Hell, but they didn't know exactly how much that difference was.
What is the "prefecture-level" you just mentioned, sir?
How are combat power levels classified?
Jiang Chaosheng relayed the words of the Jinghe Dragon King about the superior gods, middle gods, inferior gods, demigods, and earth-level gods verbatim.
The members of the Forbidden Society all wore solemn expressions.
Li Xinyuan also sighed: "I felt like I had already touched the threshold of demigod. It turns out that demigods are suppressed by the bloodline of gods."
When that battle actually comes, wouldn't I be less than an ant?
Medusa suddenly spoke up: "The suppression of divine bloodline... is actually not so bad."
Because if a real war breaks out, you'll almost certainly never encounter the true god.
All eyes were on her.
Medusa said, "I know a lot about the underworld, so I can start by telling you the history of Avici Hell from the beginning."
Everyone looked at Medusa.
We await this woman who has existed for thousands of years to reveal the secrets of hell.
Medusa said, "The realm of gods, the human realm, and the underworld are the three dimensions of this world."
The underworld was born first.
Succubi, demons, and bone monsters are the true native inhabitants of the underworld.
Death was the sole ruler of the underworld at that time, and the first high-level god-like being in the world.
Medusa paused for a moment, then continued, "Later, the realm of gods appeared, and a group of gods who were born with divine positions descended from the sky."
The creatures of the underworld were incredibly weak in their eyes.
So the underworld was treated like a cake, and everyone wanted a bite.
The gods divided up the land of the underworld.
Hades of Mount Olympus ruled over the nine realms of the underworld;
The Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha of the Pure Land and the Emperor of Fengdu of the Eastern Heavenly Court share the Underworld equally.
It wasn't until the last emperor intervened that Yama and his cronies finally gained control of the underworld.
Izanami of Takamagahara occupied the land of the dead;
Hela of Asgard took the River Styx that runs through the underworld.
The Grim Reaper, once the ruler of the underworld, now cowers in the Avici Hell.
Medusa paused for a moment, then continued, "The gods fought endlessly in Hades until the Western God, who had no power in Hades, took the lead in stopping them."
The meaning of the Western God is:
They could not bear to see the gods lose their power to fight against the last human emperor because of the internal strife in the underworld.
Therefore, the Western God made a covenant:
The division of the underworld's territory ends here. Any party that continues to covet the underworld will be attacked by all sides.
Everyone gasped in shock.
These words and phrases carry immense weight, and the secrets they contain are profound.
They turned to look at Jiang Chaosheng, who remained expressionless, as if he were listening to people talking about the weather.
As expected, a man like him knows everything.
Xia Li smiled slightly, leaning back in her chair, seemingly enjoying herself.
She was an extremely ambitious woman, and talking to Medusa about these things made her feel like she was getting closer to the great figures of that era.
Even... I myself am one of those kinds of people!
Jiang Chaosheng hadn't thought that much about it; he was just pondering:
The underworld is an important resource, and the last emperor must fight for it.
Therefore, the so-called underworld gods are actually ministers of the Shang Dynasty.
but..
Based on his current understanding of the Western God, that guy is ambitious and would not easily give up the struggle for the underworld.
Medusa continued, "After the war of the gods, the gods of the divine realm and the underworld either disappeared or perished."
Nowadays, there are very few gods left in the Avici Hell; most of them are native creatures of the underworld.
For example, Lilith from Avici Hell was the first succubus, a purely underworld creature.
She looked at Li Xinyuan: "Beelzebub is dead, so there is one less god among the gods of Avici Hell."
You rarely encounter legitimate deities, so you're almost never suppressed by your bloodline.
Everyone present understood.
Li Xinyuan and Xia Li breathed a sigh of relief—as long as they didn't run into any orthodox gods.
Medusa sighed: "But the problem is, even if we don't encounter any orthodox gods, can we defeat them?"
Lilith is a legendary demon who has lived for thousands of years in religious legends.
Even without the bloodline suppression, we would still be no match for them.
"Forget about her, even a random demigod-level hellish powerhouse would be a handful for us."
She took a deep breath: "No matter how desolate Avici Hell is, it is still Avici Hell."
There are still many demigod-level and even lower-level powerhouses.
The person fell silent again.
It felt like a heavy stone was pressing on my heart.
As Medusa just said, everyone here is at best at the prefecture level.
Let alone a mid-level god, he wouldn't even stand a chance against demigods.
At this moment, Jiang Chaosheng slowly spoke up: "That's not a big problem."
