My Cell Prison-Chapter 1157 - 1156: The World

At the same time,

at the foot of Mo Star Ridge, [The Headless Rakshasa-Prime] had already left the van.

The huge, bloated body, under the effect of the dense Yin Qi, ignored the influence of gravity and ascended directly to the sky...it overlooked the terrifying phenomena unfolding at the Random Burial Mound and the rise of the Ghost Gate at the center, symbolizing the truth.

"I never thought it would be possible to go this far in a small world. I’m afraid even ’The Power of the World’ has been partially extracted.

A dimensional struggle is soon to follow, how interesting... It seems I came to the right place, such scenes are rare, indeed."

...

The Ghost Gate rose.

The scene was similar to when Togu had promoted to [Big Demon], but the style and form were starkly different... The gallows, formed by the hair of all the spirits of the world, opening the gate through suicide, such a sight was indeed shocking.

In the beginning,

Han Dong estimated that Chen Li would reach a level equivalent to ’Mature Body’ within the Yin Yang Road world, which would be quite an achievement.

After all, the world level of "Yin Yang Road" was similar to the "Strange Tales" Han Dong had experienced before, belonging to the highest difficulty within the small worlds.

But to open the gate was still very difficult.

"Maybe in this year and a half, Chen Li has touched upon certain rules through the ’Yin Yang Road’, or even undergone some hidden changes that I can’t guess.

This kind of [transformation] has directly led to a substantial weakening of the Master-Servant Relationship.

During this process, Chen Li gained a tremendous promotion, maintaining a living state, or rather, a ’zombie’ state, and evolved to the level of a Mature Body.

As a fast growth’s cost, Chen Li’s personality has undergone significant changes, whether in demeanor, posture, or the aura emitted, there were great discrepancies from before.

I couldn’t even confirm whether it was Chen Li at first glance, or a ’Hong’ who had taken over Chen Li’s body.

Now that she can [open the gate] here, she must have touched the essence of the world, and surely will utilize ’The Power of the World’ to gain the right to open the gate.

This would mean interesting developments are expected to happen next."

Han Dong couldn’t determine whether the woman before him could be considered ’Chen Li’.

After all, such progress was tremendous, and there must be some secrets hidden within... It might have no impact on Han Dong, or it could have a significant effect, even harmful.

...

Suicide.

In the moment of death, the body annihilated.

Or rather, the body that hung on the skeleton had already been on the brink of collapse due to the woman’s rapid growth.

A skeleton brimming with heavy Yin Qi emerged, its sinister, darkened bones inscribed with curses and adorned with strange human skin talisman papers, and wrapped with hairs from within the body.

The hair used to build the gallows surged toward the hanging skeleton at the very top at that moment.

First rooting at the top of the skeleton’s head to form a head of soft, smooth black hair, then laying flat against the bone’s surface, steadily weaving a corporeal form.

In the meantime,

The towering ten-meter-tall [Ghost Gate] rose behind Chen Li.

Crack—As the Stone Door swung inward, a plethora of black arms immediately surged out, pulling at the skeleton that was gathering hair.

The ghostly hands’ pulling and the skeletal weaving took place almost simultaneously.

Just as the body was about to complete its weave, the individual was fully pulled into the interior of the Ghost Gate.

After about a five-minute wait.

Step—a pale foot as white as paper stepped out from within the gate.

Soon after, a woman clad in rags with black hair walked slowly out from the gate.

The long hair dragging on the ground gradually shortened, stopping on its own once it reached waist-length.

The black hair obscuring her face parted in the middle, moving to the left and right, revealing a stunningly cold face, her eye sockets stuffed with black hair replacing the eyeballs.

At this moment, the fierce spirits residing in the Random Burial Mound knelt down one by one...

However,

The woman kept her gaze fixed in one direction, her eyes full of black hair locking with Han Dong’s... Their connection still existed, but for some reason had become very weak.

Just as Han Dong was preparing to go down and welcome this woman.

Buzz!

A strong spatial sense emanated from the sky above, accompanied by a wave that covered the world, causing the air itself to tremble.

Such spatial sensations were not isolated to one area.

One dimensional gateway after another opened in the sky.

Han Dong looked up at the sky in surprise.

To see so many world channels at once was a first for Han Dong... His meat eyes could peer through the gateways, glimpsing some of the landscapes and characteristic buildings of the worlds on the other side, such as:

1. A grey world where a crescent moon hung perpetually in the sky. In the center of the land sat a pure white palace, inhabited by strange beings with holes in their bodies, some of which had taken on human-like forms.

2. A world dominated by mountain ranges, with Yin Mountain at its heart, surrounded by legions of phantoms. On Yin Mountain were constructed various forms of gloomy buildings intended for the comprehensive instruction, cultivation, and management of the dead.

3. Demon Lair, where the world itself is a lair and within it exists a complete chaotic social system. The Demon Lair’s self-healing properties allow individuals to live under such conditions, to freely indulge desires, and to foster evil.

...

In total, there were nineteen dimensional gateways, each corresponding to a higher-tier, mid-sized world.

When a lower-tier world produces a being that exceeds the world level, the ’Personal Managers’ of these worlds sense it.

If the being’s attributes match their own world and all conditions are met, they would consider paying a significant price to open a dimensional gateway.

Generally speaking.

When a ’Promoted’ appears, typically one to three gateways would correlate. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

But this time, there were a staggering 19.

One could only imagine that Chen Li’s level far exceeded that of ordinary ascenders... Any mid-sized world gaining her would greatly increase its world index.

At this moment, voices began to echo from the sky.

"I am a Messenger from the Mountain of Ten Thousand Corpses, extending a world invitation to you. We are willing to provide, free of charge, all the materials you need on your cultivation path."

"I am a diviner from the Demon Lair, hee hee... Miss, you are truly impressive, to reach such a level in such a small world. The Demon Lair has always favored strong ones like you. We are willing to directly grant you ’Demon’ status and many privileges. Our world has the least restrictions on individuals; if you wish, you can even have a hundred different types of male servants."

"I am a Messenger from Zero Space. I won’t bore you with the minor privileges, your strength is commendable... If you are willing to go to the Moon Palace, we are prepared to sever all ties for you, including the early master-servant pact you’ve signed with someone."

Messengers from different worlds vied with their invitations to Chen Li.

When one of them mentioned severing the master-servant relationship, Han Dong felt a sudden twinge in his heart... His temper flared.

"Try severing it, you motherfucker! I’ll have Derry Town’s mayor fuck you up!"

Of course, these were just thoughts in Han Dong’s mind, and he would not actually say such things... The choice was Chen Li’s to make, and Han Dong would not impose his will.

However.

No matter what enticing offers the world envoys proposed, the woman didn’t listen and kept her gaze fixed on Han Dong at the edge of the crater.

The invitations from different worlds continued unabated.

Suddenly, the woman spoke, "Aren’t you going to come down and fetch me?"

Upon hearing this, Han Dong, with an awkward smile, quickly jumped down into the crater and walked straight toward the woman draped in tattered cloth.

This scene was witnessed by the messengers from various mid-sized worlds, who immediately deduced that the young man was the corresponding master of the ’Master-Servant Relationship’ within the woman.

They each had spent a significant cost to open the gateways and were unwilling to return empty-handed.

Even more importantly.

In their view, the young man’s level was still below that of the woman.

"With your current strength, there’s absolutely no need to continue following him. It’s not conducive to your development. Those destined for greatness..."

The messenger’s statement was cut short.

Suddenly, he received a system prompt:

"The Five-star Mid-sized World [Prometheus] node holder is challenging you to a planar war. Do you accept?

Special note: The node holder is also a stakeholder in the upper realm – [Derry Town] and will receive some assistance from the townspeople during the war."

Simultaneously, Han Dong turned his head to look coldly at the chattering messenger.

"So, what’s it going to be? Are we going to war?"
