According to Ye Xiao's idea, Gong Shang inspected the bodies of Situ Yanlan, Sun Jie and Zhu Tingcen, then shook his head and said.
"But just like you, they all have an unknown force sleeping within their bodies, but in comparison, they are not as huge as yours!"
"knew!"
Ye Xiao disagreed. After all, after the Dark Core Project, the level of dark matter assimilation among Situ Yanlan, Sun Jie and Zhu Tingcen did not exceed 30%, but he himself reached the terrifying 80%.
The difference goes without saying.
"Do you think it's possible that the unknown power in our bodies will awaken at some point?"
Ye Xiao frowned and asked tentatively, seemingly without any hope for Gong Shang.
"I don't know this. I can only tell you that this power is very dangerous. I can vaguely feel a rotten atmosphere from it."
Gong Shang bluntly said that it was not to scare Ye Xiao deliberately, but that's how dark matter made him feel.
"Okay!" Ye Xiao sighed. The reason why he asked Gong Shang to check the bodies of Situ Yanlan, Sun Jie and Zhu Tingcen was just to see if the three of them could be descendants of the Gods like him.
"Now that the matter is over, according to the agreement between you and me, I also want to help you do one thing, remove the brand of divine punishment and get out of here, you choose one!"
Ye Xiao's words changed, and it was Gongshang's turn to make a choice. The latter also frowned for a while and began to think.
If possible, Gongshang hoped that Ye Xiao could help him remove the God's Punishment Brand and take him out, but Ye Xiao was only willing to help him solve one thing.
If he chooses to leave Zhenling Hall, he will have fulfilled his wish that he has had for thousands of years. However, due to the existence of the Divine Punishment Brand and his master-servant relationship with Ye Xiao, even if he goes outside, he cannot be considered a free body in the true sense.
Once Ye Xiao died unexpectedly one day, he would have no choice but to accompany him reluctantly.
But if the choice is to remove the God's Punishment Brand, Ye Xiao's life or death will have nothing to do with him, but he will continue to stay in this dark Soul-Suppressing Hall until all his energy is exhausted and he dies alone.
On balance, there is also no freedom at all.
"How about it, have you thought about it?"
Seeing Gong Shang's delay in responding, Ye Xiao couldn't help but his face darkened and he urged in an impatient tone.
"Wait!" Gong Shang spoke hurriedly, then looked at Ye Xiao and said uncertainly:
"If, I mean if, you help me take you out of here, and I follow you, protect you, and guide you in your cultivation, then is it possible for you to remove the mark of divine punishment from me!"
"That's it!" Ye Xiao pretended to hesitate, but the corner of his mouth raised a slight arc, secretly delighted. When he made the agreement with Gong Shang, he was sure that such a result would occur.
If Gongshang chose to get rid of the God's Punishment Brand, Ye Xiao would help him get rid of it without saying a word, and walk away, but at the moment, it seems that is not the case.
When the word "ruo" came out of Gong Shang's mouth, Ye Xiao was basically sure that he would choose to get out of here, and this was exactly what Ye Xiao needed.
After all, as long as the God's Punishment Brand is still there, he and Gongshang will always have a master-servant relationship, so when they go outside, Gongshang must obey his orders whether he is willing or not.
With such a terrifying thug like Gong Shang by his side, he has no need to worry about the threats posed by cultivators and elders.
Moreover, now that Ye Xiao has just awakened to his divinity, there are still many things that are unclear in his cultivation journey. With Gong Shang by his side, he can give him more or less guidance on his future cultivation.
"How?" Gong Shang asked a little anxiously.
"It depends on your performance!" Ye Xiao expressed his stance, "If you can sincerely help me after we go out, when the time is right, I will help you get rid of it!"
"Is this true?"
"really!"
Gongshang confirmed again and saw that Ye Xiao had no intention of deceiving him, so he immediately made his decision.
"Okay, then help me get out of here!"
"Okay!" Ye Xiao promised readily, with a satisfied smile on his face, and greeted Situ Yanlan, Sun Jie and Zhu Tingcen who took the lead in leaving the Zhenling Hall.
"What are you looking at? Let's go!"
After leaving the palace door, Ye Xiao turned around and shouted to Gong Shang inside the palace.
Hearing this, Gong Shang looked at the four people and followed cautiously. However, when he had just taken half a step out of the palace door, the entire Zhenling Palace trembled violently, and an unknown premonition arose in his heart, followed by a thick
Lightning struck him, hitting him right in the head.
Accompanied by a burst of screams, Ye Xiao and the others didn't even have time to see clearly. The lightning quickly disappeared, but Gongshang was half-kneeling inside the palace door, with green smoke rising from his body.
"Um, I'm sorry, I forgot, I haven't confessed the owner of the stone tablet with blood yet, so I can't lift the restriction with my thoughts!"
Looking at Gongshang who was struck badly by lightning, Ye Xiao had a trace of apology on his face. Under Gongshang's resentful gaze, he quickly went to the stone tablet with the three characters "Netherworld Road" engraved on it, bit his finger and squeezed out
Blood dripped on the stone tablet.
Relying on the information obtained after awakening to divinity, the current prison of the Gods has always been controlled by the leader of the Gods, and the stone tablet is the core of the entire prison.
As long as he sheds his blood to identify his master, he will also be able to control the movements of the entire prison, which naturally includes the opening and lifting of the restrictions in the prison.
Along with the dripping of Ye Xiao's blood, the stone tablet instantly bloomed with bright red blood light, and then quickly shrank to the size of a finger and submerged into Ye Xiaoling's Mansion.
"This is…"
As soon as the stone tablet entered the Ling Mansion, it was like a ball of light formed by Ye Xiao's divine energy and dark matter, floating in the air and hovering around the hell fire. At that time, countless topographic maps appeared in Ye Xiao's mind.
"This is... more than one hall that is the same as the Zhenling Hall!"
After sorting out the information provided by the topographic map, Ye Xiao was horrified. After identifying the owner of the stone tablet with blood, the layout of the entire prison appeared in his mind. At the same time, he was horrified to discover that there was more than one hall similar to the Zhenling Hall.
Under Ye Xiao's mental search, there were tens of thousands of halls scattered throughout the prison, all with different names. All the halls were shrouded by a restriction. In very few halls, Ye Xiao could even detect them.
Feel the faint breath of life.
"I didn't expect that there are still old monsters like Gong Shang alive in other halls!"
As the search continued, Ye Xiao became more and more frightened. He didn't know what kind of existence there would be in those halls that exuded a weak breath of life, and how it compared with Gong Shang.
But no matter how bad things are, if you can survive the erosion of thousands of years, how can you be an ordinary person?
"I really want to see what it will be like if we release them all!"
Ye Xiao thought to himself, but soon shook his head. Unlike Gong Shang, he was willing to let Gong Shang out of the hall because he was restrained by the divine punishment brand. Even if he went outside, he would not be able to make any big waves.
As for those in the other halls, although they were not as powerful as Gongshang, if they were all released at once, without any restraints, the scene of a group of demons dancing wildly would not be something he could control.
Therefore, in his opinion, before he is not strong enough to defeat these monsters, he absolutely cannot take the dangerous step of releasing them from prison unless he has to!
"It's okay, that's it!"
After searching the entire prison, it was found that there were still hundreds of halls with the breath of life. Then with a thought, the restriction that shrouded the Zhenling Hall was lifted.
"I have lifted the restriction, you can come out now!"
Walking to Zhenling Hall again, Ye Xiao looked relaxed and still had a smile on his face.
