Chapter 297: The Soul-Catching Rope Reappears

Jiuchongtian and Youdu devoted themselves to their own restoration work, and gradually forgot to pay attention to the human world in the busyness.

More importantly, one day in heaven is one year on earth, and the speed at which time passes is very different.

When they turned their eyes back to the human world, three full months had passed.

But in the human world, these three months are equivalent to a long hundred years.

During this period of time, not even a single building had been built in the Nine Heavens, but the human world had already gone through many dynasties and had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Dynasties changed, the world was in turmoil, various forces were constantly fighting, and wars broke out everywhere.

In this chaotic era, death has become commonplace and people have long been accustomed to the passing of life.

However, war brings not only death, but also some unconventional methods that take advantage of the situation.

At some unknown time, a group of mysterious evil Taoists quietly appeared.

They spread a strange belief: through the sacrifice of living people, they could open up new territories and bless their dynasty with long-term stability and immortality.

This absurd theory was actually recognized by some ambitious leaders, and thus the first sacrificial ceremony of living people began.

Once there is a start, there will be imitators one after another.

Innocent civilians have become victims of this absurd farce. They were already struggling in the war, and now their situation is even worse.

However, those so-called "heroes" treat human lives as worthless for their own selfish desires.

At the same time, the fall of the ancient gods triggered huge changes in the world.

Thousands of souls that were originally imprisoned in the underworld returned to the human world because the ancient gods died in exchange for the life of all things, but there was no place for them to stay in the human world.

The living souls then became evil-minded and began to wreak havoc on the human world.

Youdu has since fallen into chaos, and the human world has not been spared either.

Humans and ghosts live together, yin and yang are out of order, and the once prosperous world seems to have turned into a second eighteen levels of hell.

Hearing this, Yu Youyou couldn't help but interrupt Yan Qingci's story and asked with doubt in his heart: "The order of the Three Realms is determined by heaven. Since the ancient gods aim to save the Three Realms, why do they want to disrupt the order? Especially letting the souls of the underworld go and let them disturb the human world, wouldn't it further destroy the balance of the Three Realms?"

"Didn't she think about this question when she died? What if the situation got out of control after she died?"

"Her sacrifice like this can only make things worse, I think."

Bai Jin frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he replied, "Resurrecting the three realms may be the original intention of the ancient god. However, releasing the souls of the underworld may have exceeded her expectations."

"Perhaps something unexpected happened during the implementation process, causing the situation to get out of control. After all, when it comes to the fate of all beings in the three realms, any slight mistake may lead to unpredictable consequences."

After hearing this, Yan Qingci remained silent for a long time.

The chaos in Youdu is a fact, and it is also a fact that the world is in a worse situation.

These two points are beyond doubt.

Bai Jin continued to explain: "At that time, the way of heaven collapsed and the Nine Heavens were on the verge of collapse. If she did not take action, the collapse of the Nine Heavens would also be a devastating disaster for the human world."

Yu Youyou asked back: "So, she chose to protect the Nine Heavens and let the living souls of Youdu wreak havoc on the human world?"

Bai Jin was speechless. It seemed that this was correct.

After all, who still remembers that catastrophe? All we know is that the ancient god sacrificed himself to save the Nine Heavens.

However, they all forgot that the living souls in the underworld were wreaking havoc on the human world, which was the result of her sacrifice.

Bai Jin said solemnly: "The situation was very critical at the time. That was the only option."

After a long while, Yan Qingci smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, the world has indeed suffered because of her."

When Bai Jin heard this, his fierce tiger eyes narrowed slightly, seeming to reveal some disapproval.

"The living souls and the living live in chaos, coupled with the chaotic times and those evil Taoist priests with ulterior motives, there are so many cruel sacrifices to the living that it is hard to count them!"

"Everyone in the Netherworld was so busy and anxious about this that it was finally Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who suggested going to the Abyss of No Return to get the Soul-Catching Rope to solve the problem."

The soul-catching rope can catch all the souls in the world.

Once it takes action, no matter what kind of soul it is, it cannot escape its pursuit.

These souls that wreak havoc on the human world have already committed unforgivable sins.

They roam everywhere, bringing endless disasters and suffering to mankind.

However, when the Soul-Catching Rope appears, they have nowhere to escape.

After being taken away by the soul-haunting creature, their only destination is the bottomless, boundless abyss of no return.

Since ancient times, the Abyss of No Return has become a forbidden place.

No one can enter it, and no soul can escape from it.

It is because of this that peace is gradually returning to the world.

"This was once a place for ancient sacrifices, including human sacrifices, blood sacrifices and other cruel methods. The place in front of us is the legendary mass grave sacrifice."

Yan Qingci stared quietly at the endless darkness in the distance, and a heavy feeling surged in his heart.

She knew very well the power of the Soul-Catching Rope. Once it was deployed, all the souls in the world would be exposed.

Despite having explored similar sacrificial sites countless times, the scale and atmosphere of this place still shocked her.

I originally thought that such an evil place no longer existed, but I never expected that there would still be some that slipped through the net.

Yan Qingci's expression became very solemn.

Judging from the situations of souls coming in and out of Youdu and the mysterious disappearance of villages, the evil aura here must have killed many innocent people, and even their souls were trapped here, unable to be reborn.

Otherwise, there would be no way that Youdu would not have made any movement.

As he said that, Yan Qingci was about to summon the Soul-Catching Rope.

"Wait!" Bai Jin was a step slow, Yan Qingci had already chanted the spell.

Bai Jin originally planned to go down and find out what was going on, but once the Soul-Catching Rope was out, it was impossible to take it back.

It felt a little dissatisfied, but something strange happened on Yan Qingci's side.

"Huh? What's going on?"

"Why is there no movement?"

She cast the spell again, but the Soul-Hunting Rope of the Abyss of No Return did not move at all.

Seeing this, Bai Jin's huge tiger head shook.

"Is this place isolated?" it wondered.

"Only if it was isolated would the Soul-Catching Rope ignore this place at that time. Similarly, even if you summon it now, there will be no movement."

Yan Qingci also realized this problem.

She subconsciously looked at Yu Youyou and thought of what happened in Yunan County.

So he suddenly had an idea and said to Yu Youyou: "Youyou, why don't you try it?"

"Ah?" Yu Youyou was a little slow to react.

Yan Qingci said, "Cao Ling taught you last time."
