Chapter 03: The Holy Land

To be honest, it is very cold

The end of this rocky passage is gradually coming into view, approximately one thousand meters ahead.

The entire holy land is a vast circular abyss, exceedingly immense

And Ming's entire body began to stiffen, and his consciousness started to blur

"Your Majesty, all the answers must be sought by yourself." The deep voice of the Emperor Shakra was filled with love and admiration

The reason this place is referred to as a sacred site is likely due to two factors

Finally, it turned into a scream akin to that of a slaughtered pig

Hurry up and jump... The sun is getting larger and larger, about to explode and destroy the entire cave

Without a sensitive state, even the underworld can see the light before it.

If it rises to the surface of the liquid, it signifies that Ming's action this time has completely failed

I am ... ... '' Before the words about the face in the sun could be finished, the entire sun suddenly exploded, and an incredibly dazzling light seemed to tear apart the entire space

What the hell, at such a low temperature, this liquid hasn't frozen.

Moreover, the further down one goes, the faster the descent becomes

The surface temperature has already dropped to 6 degrees Celsius

The external environmental temperature is minus forty-four degrees Celsius

The countless caves within are all similar to the cave where the Underworld stands. It is a long corridor that extends for dozens of kilometers.

Adjust the bio-regulation system of the underworld to armor mode, and then continue moving forward

Indeed, it slides down rapidly. As the speed increases, the duration decreases, and consequently, the energy consumed by the biochemical system is also reduced

The program to be initiated after being placed in a dire situation has a success probability of 15 percent

Biochemical system automatic transition, intensify the descent mode

What is the truth about the destruction of the Earth? Are there any humans on the surface now? What has the surface become? Is the Earth currently extremely dangerous? If there are humans, what kind of civilization are they?

73 % ! ''

At this moment, Ming Zhang opened his mouth and took a deep breath towards the air, uttering www.hetushu.com

After descending another 4,000 meters into the abyss, the temperature displayed on the screen has already dropped to minus 70 degrees Celsius

In an instant, Ming's body sank rapidly like a submarine

Gradually, the light became increasingly blinding. The bones on the ground grew fewer, and then I saw a stone tablet inscribed with the words: "Sacred ground ahead, no one may approach except His Majesty. Otherwise, it will scorch my eyes and turn the body to ashes"

Looking further down, there was still a distance of at least 20,000 meters to that green liquid. Above was close to the sun, incredibly hot, while below was near the oxygen, exceedingly cold

The alarm sound is getting louder and louder

Of course, there are also some more subtle issues

This item is surprisingly not solar-powered; if it were solar-powered, it would be able to replenish energy by now

Due to the invasion of external energy, the biochemical system automatically enters a program of death and rebirth. If successful, it will increase the amount of energy absorbed and evolve the various capabilities of the biochemical system. If it fails, the biochemical system will self-destruct, resulting in the automatic death of the biochemical warrior

Mingzu gazed at his subjects for over an hour before allowing himself to calm down

Gradually, the surroundings became increasingly bright, prompting Ming to deactivate the sensitive state of the biochemical system

Ming walks forward alone, without needing to make adjustments; the biochemical system will automatically adapt to the environment.

It is extremely viscous, and the descent of the underworld is too fierce, continuing to sink deeper after the fall

In the darkness, following the light, one searches through cave after cave, with skeletons lining the path.

The temperature here can still be maintained at a tolerable level, presumably due to the seven layers of material wrapped around it, although the nature of these seven layers remains unknown

I couldn't help but glance at the electronic watch screen

Even in the depths of darkness, he remained unresponsive, continuing to plummet rapidly! He distinctly felt that the temperature of his body had already dropped below zero degrees Celsius, and his body had begun to stiffen.

The innermost layer emits a strong radiance and temperature, burning intensely. It has a diameter of approximately two to three kilometers, surrounded by several layers of transparent yet colored substances, totaling about seven layers, each corresponding to red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

Body surface temperature, 17 degrees

Then, the screams grew increasingly intense and louder

The diameter of the abyss is nearly 10 kilometers, and its height is approximately several hundred kilometers, and it may even be much more than that

Getting closer and closer to that green, oily liquid

However, the clothes on the body began to distort

Moments later, the alarm began to sound

"How did you save me at that time, and how did you save those dozens of infants from the Underworld?" asked Ming.

Ming fell directly to the seabed, and then was suddenly propelled to the surface by an immense surge of energy, being washed ashore onto the sandy beach of an island by the waves

The plan to be placed in a dire situation before rebirth has succeeded, with the biochemical system having evolved by 30%. There remains a progress of 70% to reach the second level of biochemical warriors

The biochemical system is beginning to malfunction The biochemical system is beginning to malfunction

Boom! Finally, his clothes could not withstand such high temperatures, gradually emitting smoke, and then suddenly his entire body was engulfed in flames

Strange, where does this oxygen come from? Where is the light source? This is underground

The sunlight and oxygen permeate into every cave where humans survive underground through these densely packed passages, enabling them to stay alive

This is akin to standing completely naked in a room where the air conditioning is set to 16 degrees Celsius

In that moment, Ming could not help but glance once more at the countless corpses, a wave of emotions surging within him

Whoever they are

3 % ! ''

Indeed, it is displayed above

It is already very cold! However, it is still bearable, because during the initial training at mhetushucom.com, I once underwent survival tests in the snow with my bare body in air temperatures below minus ten degrees.

Continuing on, Ming clearly felt the surging and intense oxygen in the underground cave, which was even purer and more concentrated than the oxygen on the surface

Ming lowered his head to glance at his watch, where the low battery warning continued to flash incessantly

Degree of damage to the biochemical system, 1%

One day we will truly meet. In the sun, the face of the deity begins to fade, gradually disappearing

... ...

Ming looked down and saw a chasm several tens of thousands of meters deep under the sun, at the bottom of which was a green liquid bubbling with dense oxygen.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, the oxygen concentration is 87% and the air humidity is 22%

68%

A beautiful effect, the breath released transforms directly into delicate snowflakes, falling gently.

However, there is no harm to the body, and one continues to walk forward, completely naked, allowing the clothes to burn.

"Who exactly are you?" Ming asked the final question

2 % ! ''

It is precisely these individuals who have sustained my life with their blood and lives. That Deity, perhaps, is merely exploiting their blood; their purpose is solely to nourish me with their blood. Yet, they love me so deeply and are loyal to me, to the extent that their race is called the Underworld Clan. In that moment, the Underworld truly regarded the countless corpses before them as their own people

He needs to keep moving continuously to maintain his body temperature; otherwise, his blood will quickly freeze and solidify

67 % ! ''

Ming finally understood the source of oxygen

The stone walls surrounding the abyss are densely dotted with numerous caves, extending into the distance, including the one where Ming is currently standing

Jump down, and you can leave, directly reaching the sea, only you can jump down

What a refreshing feeling! However, the further I descend, the more I realize it is getting a bit cold.

Boom! A violent tremor shook the entire underground cavern, as if it were about to collapse like a book.

Ming's body began to gradually float upwards

The sun is not large, and it seems to be divided into several layers

"Are you Lord Indra?" Ming was instantly filled with excitement as he asked, "Who are you? Are you a human from Earth? What is happening on Earth now? Why is Earth going to be destroyed? Who is responsible for the destruction of Earth? Are there still people on the surface?"

No wonder this population can survive, as they come close to this place periodically to bask in the so-called sunlight, and this sacred land continuously provides an endless supply of oxygen

Tang Bohu asked: "How should I leave?"

Suddenly, the sound changed

Who is Emperor Shitian? Why does he seek to save himself, even at the cost of countless lives and blood to sustain his own existence? Is he a human from Earth?

How can there be oxygen living so deep underground? How can one survive without sunlight? There is fundamentally no source of energy.

99 % ! ''

Ming continued to walk forward for several hundred steps, and the biochemical system adjusted repeatedly, which prevented his eyes from being injured.

Ming continued to fall downward, while the temperature on the electronic screen was still rapidly decreasing

Bang! The sound echoed as it plunged fiercely into the emerald liquid

Fortunately, at least one hundred individuals remain under the protection of the Stone of Life, awaiting the moment when the Underworld will unearth them and they will see the light of day once more

What a magnificent holy place, and what a strange holy place!

The speed of the descent into the underworld is increasing rapidly, with countless massive stones sharply plunging downwards, seemingly about to pierce through the underworld.

In an instant, all the hard stone walls of the cave began to shatter, and then countless boulders fell downward

70%

Immediately shut your mouth, the already stiff and numb tongue moved slightly and quickly slid down.

... ...

My Majesty, you must return to the surface immediately. All the answers must be sought by you yourself, the truth of the Earth's destruction. The current state of the Earth must also be discovered through your own eyes. Once you have discovered and seen everything, Your Majesty will naturally have your own mission and a great mission related to books. At that time, I will come to see you. Go now, this place is on the verge of destruction.

At this moment, the sun is suspended in the center of the void, approximately ten kilometers above the underworld

The biochemical system continues to objectively report the damage index of the biochemical system

Ming glanced at the watch display

Even with the bioengineering system in place, it was nearly unbearable to endure the intense heat. Ming reached the end of the corridor and finally beheld the sacred ground before him

Gradually, the light before me is no longer so glaring, and the temperature around me is no longer so scorching

"Use the energy of my life," said Emperor Shakra

At this moment, Ming had completely lost consciousness, and his entire being was thoroughly frozen.

... ...

Because there are many questions to follow

One is due to the "sun," and the other is due to oxygen

A surge of hot tears could not help but well up and spill over.

"Ming, you have finally awakened." Suddenly, a deep voice resonated in Ming's ears, and then a vague figure appeared on the surface of the sun. Although the face was indistinct, it evoked feelings of reverence and fear.

In the depths of his heart, there was an overwhelming sadness and immense pain, even though he had become completely frozen.

Meanwhile, the rate of damage to the biochemical system has increased threefold compared to before

Ming understood at that moment, for the closer one got to this sacred land, the more one could feel a surge of vibrant oxygen. The light before him, upon Ming's discernment, was similar in nature to the sunlight on the surface of the Earth

With eyes closed, he suddenly jumped down.

The screen is currently displaying the temperature; the outside temperature is 777 degrees, while the temperature inside the biochemical system has also reached an unbearable 49 degrees. If it were not for the resilience of Ming's body, he would have long since been unable to endure it.

After sinking for several hundred meters, the momentum finally ceased. Meanwhile, countless boulders crashed into the liquid, and amidst the tremendous vibrations and tearing sounds, the remnants of ancient Earth and the underground secret world of the underworld, which had existed for thousands of years, completely collapsed. All those known as the Underworld Clan were also buried.
