Chapter 379: An Invitation from Hell

After waking up Qi Ludi, the affairs in Rhodes' hands were over, and then he began to focus on his ultimate goal——— which was the glorious and great project of teleporting the entire Dragon Soul Continent to the Otherworldly Realm. But this first requires the cooperation of many places, in addition to the dragon soul inheritor, Rhodes also needs the support of the four elemental lords, the seven illusion realms, and hell. Now the negotiations with the dragon soul inheritor have not begun, but Rhodes has already planned to use the "countryside surrounds the city" strategy used by his ancestors, as long as other places can agree to help, then it is much more reasonable for Rhodes to go to the other three creation dragons to make conditions. Moreover, this teleportation plan originally required the installation of teleportation connection devices in the node centers of each world, and if it could not get the cooperation of other places, then it would only fall short.

And after the communication, the news is still very exciting.

There are seven lovers on the side of the four elemental lords, and it is not difficult to convince the other three elemental lords, and in fact, it is also true. Although Seven Love is not a "regular" elemental lord, according to Qilian's own statement, she reappeared with the help of the identity of "Fire Element Lord", so she naturally obtained the identity of a Fire Element Lord, which means that there is no problem on the side of the Fire Element Realm. The other three elemental lords, although not very interested, did not object to this, and as long as Rhodes was willing to pay a certain price, they would not refuse to help.

And the Seven Illusions Realm is not a problem, as Rhodes expected, the so-called Six Pillars Demon God is actually the master of the Seven Illusions Realm, among which Christie controls the Star Spirit Temple, Marlene controls the Steel Land, and Alice is the ruler of the Forgotten Lands. Qiludi is the leader of the Shade Realm. And the remaining Silver Sea and Burning Fire Plains, as long as the remaining two Six-Pillar Demon Gods can be found and awakened, then the six realms of the Seven Illusion Realms will be properly under Rhode's control——— the only thing that makes Rhodes wonder is that it is obviously the Seven Illusory Realm, but it is ruled by the Six-Pillar Demon God, so whose jurisdiction is the only remaining Shadow Valley?

And for this question of Rhodes. Whether it was the Seven Loves, the Six Pillars Demon God or his sister, they didn't answer positively, but they just told Rod very vaguely that he would know the Tao after he woke up and gathered the Six Pillars Demon God............... Since this is the case, then Rhodes no longer wants to force it.

As for the black coffin carved with discordant symbols, Rhodes had intended to lift the seal as soon as possible to awaken the sleeping elves, but in vain. Later, he learned from his sister that he wanted to awaken this holy sword card spirit, and he could only do it on a relatively special starry day. So he decisively threw the black coffin aside first. Leave it alone.

But not all of what Rhodes received was good news.

"You mean............... Something went wrong on the other side of the Nine Layers of Hell? ”

"Huh............!!"

Hearing Rod's inquiry, although Celestina was quite unhappy, she still blushed, gritted her teeth and nodded.

"That's right, that damn old bastard......... Miss Ben rarely gave him face, but she actually treated me like this......... Damn bastard......... Well, master. I'll admit that the old immortal bastard had a point, too. But......... Okay........." Celestina sighed helplessly. Said with his hands outstretched. "All in all, master, because we beat those damned Chaos Rats on the main plane, and now they don't dare to come to the main plane to mess around, but only to run to hell to be presumptuous. And according to the old immortal, Hell has done its best to resist Chaos and demons alone. Although he is very eager to assist you in your great plan——— hell, if only that old immortal were so loyal, huh! All in all, master, that's what the old guy asked. We help it fight off the demons and regain lost ground, and it will help us in our plans. ”

"Reconquista?"

Hearing this, Rod frowned slightly, and he was very keen to grasp the loophole in Celestina's mouth.

"Is Hell in a bad situation right now?"

The battle between the devil and the demons has been going on for thousands of years, and the two sides have been engaged in a tug-of-war, with millions of casualties in each battle. The myriad of creatures——— demons, demons, humans, angels, elves, dwarves and everything that have died in the bloody battle over the years are as numerous as the stars in the night sky. And such a large-scale battle, whether won or lost, will inevitably provoke a new round of counterattacks. Almost every inch of hell and abyss was fought over by the other side with millions of bones. In other words, even if you see only a few lonely stones in front of you, then it is very likely that it is part of the "lost ground". Of course, the question of who this land originally belonged to is far from verifiable.

Most of the creatures in the main plane actually don't know the way, but the player knows very well that although there are only five "officially designated" dragon soul inheritors, in fact, there should be six who are qualified to rule the dragon soul continent. The reason why most people don't know anything about this is largely to avoid shaking their faith, and the rest is because it is not a "dragon", and since it is not a dragon, it is naturally impossible to be classified as a "creation dragon soul". It's as if a whale, no matter how large it is, is still classified as a mammal rather than a fish. So when people mention the king of "fish", it is impossible to mention the name of the whale anyway.

Where there is light, there is shadow, just as every powerful country has its unknown dark side behind it, the Nine Layers of Hell is the dark side where this Dragon Soul Continent ——— open up order from chaos. The Devil Lord hidden in the abyss of the Nine Layers of Hell is the master here, and he is also the veritable master and ruler of the Underground World Realm in the Dragon Soul Continent. Whether it is the dark elves, the devils, the bloods, or anything else, as long as they live in the underground world full of darkness and death, and inhabit the nine layers of hell that burns with fire and is covered with blood, they will tremble with fear when they hear this name, and even unconsciously cover their mouths and look to the left and right vigilantly to prevent themselves from inadvertently offending all possible punishments.

So in this case, saying "Reconquista" like Celestina's is just a joke, or it means that the situation is really that bad.

"I don't think it's that bad, but at least for now, the grey ruins have fallen."

Saying this, Selestina frowned, and there was a strange light in her bright red eyes.

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to accept that old fellow's request, as long as I am here, the plan can go smoothly for a long time——— probably, maybe you can ..............." At this point, Celestina herself stopped, and it was obvious that she also knew that this was impossible. Maybe now Selestina does have a high enough "prestige" in the nine layers of hell, but the lost time is lost after all, in the years since she left this world, the power that originally belonged to Selestina has been completely dissolved, and it is meaningless for the current Selestina to return to hell to recruit a group of stragglers. What's more, in Rod's plan, the knot of hell is an indispensable process. In addition, when teleportation is activated, a part of Hell will be discarded to avoid safety. And that's not necessarily something the devil is happy to see. Moreover, once they leave this plane, then the devil will lose the opponents they have fought against countless worldly realms. What hell will become after this, no one can be sure. In this case, if he does not have the permission of the One who rules the nine layers of hell, then everything that Rhodes has done is likely to be useless, which is almost completely predictable. Because the failure of Rod's plan will not bring any harm to the devils, and it is likely to bring benefits. Any deal with the devil must be done with caution, otherwise it will be difficult to determine whether the end result is what you expect.

But who can be sure that guy is so fond of hell? If he could take the opportunity to pull Rhodes, the new Void Dragon, into the water, and enjoy his own leisurely time on the Main Plane, then why not?

Although Rhodes had already thought about similar possible problems when he made the request, the problems in front of him were obviously somewhat unexpected by him. It seems that he must send people to Hell and, as Selestina says, help the demons reclaim their fallen lands on the front lines of the bloody war, and ensure that the balance is restored there. But no one can be sure if this is a hoax or not, or who can be sure that the devils are not always thinking about how to deceive and exploit themselves? After all, the credibility of the devil has never been trusted, they follow some kind of self-determined but seemingly accepted rules, but in fact it is not the case, and any self-righteous person can be forever bound by the oath of Bato's hell, never get out of it and return to the present world.

If he could, of course, Rhodes would not be willing to send his own people to Hell, and he would not want to lead his team to Hell himself, because dealing with the lords of Hell is really a laborious job, and he would rather lead a large group of players to push the eight hundred layers of the abyss than discuss some intrigues and tricks with a devil lord in the secret room that may not be beneficial to both parties.

But now, it seems that Rhodes has little choice, if he still expects the devil to help him. (To be continued......)
