Chapter 3217: Chapter 3212: Gates of Life and Death_1

“Why didn’t Senior tell me this earlier?” Yang Chen knew nothing about these matters; even if he had any guesses, he never thought that Yan had been targeting him already.

Knowing that such a character was targeting him, he felt chills in his heart.

“Yan will definitely take action against you, but by that time you had already come to Taiyuan Star System. I thought about it and decided not to tell you immediately. After all, if I told you too early with your strength at that time, it would only cause you fear and unease, which might not be good for your cultivation,” Luo explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen nodded. He knew that Luo must have had his reasons and didn’t think much of it.

“What does Senior want me to do now that you have told me about this?” Yang Chen asked. “If Yan is targeting me, he won’t give up easily, right?”

“Of course, he won’t. He has been targeting you and must have known that you possess the Law of Life and Death. He will definitely have plans for you. Even if you are in the Taiyuan Star System, you cannot be sure that you are truly safe. Moreover, you cannot stay in the Taiyuan Star System for your entire life. there are two choices before you: first, wait for him to make a move; second, you strike first. Which one are you more inclined towards?” Luo asked.

Without even thinking, Yang Chen replied, “I choose the second one.”

He has never been the type to sit and wait for death. Instead of letting Yan make the first move against him, it would be better to strike first.

“However, even though my strength has increased greatly and I have reached the Heaven-separated Realm, I am still a far cry from opposing Yan,” Yang Chen said helplessly.

“With your current strength, you have no chance of winning against Yan. His cultivation level had already reached Heavenly Extreme Realm when he fought against me long ago, and his current strength is even more unfathomable. There is no way you can win,” Luo said with a wry smile.

“What should I do then?” Yang Chen inquired.

“Although Yan is powerful, many Heavenly Extreme Realm forces are watching his every move. He rarely takes action personally because he doesn’t dare. Even if he does act, he relies on his subordinates, such as the Seven Star Nether Lord and Sky Annihilation Ghost King that he arranged before. If you want to counterattack, removing Yan’s fierce fangs would also be a counterattack,” Luo explained.

Yang Chen furrowed his brows for a moment, then said, “Senior, what’s the point of simply killing a few ghost creatures? It seems rather meaningless.”

“Of course, if you do that, it would just be too aimless. With your current strength, you can do something even crazier,” Yan said with a smile.

Yang Chen was quite curious: “Crazy things?”

“Yes, very crazy things,” Luo replied with a hearty laugh. “The Netherworld is able to continuously produce Netherworld ghosts by intercepting the souls that originally entered the reincarnation cycle. This means that cultivators and alien tribes who were originally destined to die naturally actually end up entering the Netherworld and working for it. This is an endless source of power that was originally intended as a bridge for Yama to maintain the order of reincarnation, but it has become the foundation for Yan’s wild ambitions. Each time Yan conquers a Domain Interface, he plants a Gate of Life and Death there.”

Yang Chen asked, “Gate of Life and Death?”

“Once the Gate of Life and Death is planted, the cultivators who die in this domain will go directly to the Netherworld and become souls under the control of the Netherworld,” Luo explained.

Yang Chen had never heard Luo mention this before, but at that time, he was weak and there was no need for Luo to tell him these things.

“Yan has already planted Gates of Life and Death in countless Domain Interfaces. At least, around the Netherworld’s core, hundreds of Domain Interfaces have had Gates of Life and Death placed within them, and they have all become part of the forces under his control. This has caused hundreds of Domain Interfaces to fall under the rule of the Netherworld, including those of humans and many alien tribes. In other words, all of these domains have become puppets of the Netherworld,” Luo elaborated.

Yang Chen was slightly startled, “Why didn’t the human powerhouses take care of this?”

“They can’t. Do you have any idea what that area around the Netherworld, where thousands of Domain Interfaces are connected, is called?” Luo sighed. “That place is known as the Dark Flow Universe!”

“Universe?” Yang Chen was slightly surprised.

“Yes, it’s another term for the Cosmic Starry Sky. Both terms mean the same thing. However, as time went by, the term ’Cosmic’ came to be used to describe the entire universe, while ’Universe’ is used to describe the seven large and small universes within the Cosmic Starry Sky!” Luo said.

Yang Chen was taken aback, “What are these seven large and small universes?”

“Among them, humans and numerous alien tribes occupy the two largest universes; the Spirit God Race and the Ruthless Beast Race, along with countless alien tribes, share three large universes; the Netherworld occupies one place; and the last one is called the Origin Land. These are the seven large and small universes. Before the Netherworld created the Dark Flow Universe, there were only six large universes,” Luo explained regretfully.

Yang Chen took a deep breath, completely unaware of this before.

No wonder the Divine Night Sect had to frequently defend against external enemies. There were so many secrets in the Cosmic Starry Sky.

“The Dark Flow Universe was initially controlled by humans and several other alien tribes, but it was gradually eroded by the Netherworld. Due to the existence of the Gates of Life and Death, the Dark Flow Universe is impregnable. Numerous human powerhouses have been sent in, but to no avail. The solution is simple: just destroy the Gates of Life and Death and a Domain Interface can be liberated. However, destroying these Gates of Life and Death is not an easy task!” Luo shook his head heavily.

“Are you suggesting that I should try to destroy these Gates of Life and Death?” Yang Chen, rubbing his chin, could discern some of Luo’s intentions from his expression.

“You guessed it right,” Luo laughed. “Destroying the Gates of Life and Death can liberate a Domain Interface while also weakening the Netherworld’s strength; it is the most straightforward way.”

“After destroying the Gates, wouldn’t the Netherworld just plant them again?” Yang Chen asked, puzzled.

“To plant them again, they would need tens of thousands of years. Rewriting the laws of life and death is not an easy task. If Yan didn’t have Yama’s methods from back then, he wouldn’t have been able to do any of this,” Luo said.

Yang Chen fell into deep thought. After a while, he said, “The Gates of Life and Death must not be that easy to destroy. Since humans and many alien tribes have tried and failed before, it means that there must be heavy defenses around these gates.”

“Yes, that’s natural. Even the less important ones are guarded by powerhouses in the Destiny Realm World Embryo Stage and Life Stage. The more important ones are guarded by Yan’s trusted Heavenly Extreme Realm subordinates, and even Yan himself!” Luo explained.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen, who had been somewhat tempted, shuddered for a moment, “Isn’t this a joke, Senior? With so many strong beings guarding it, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to break it even if I risked my life.”
