Black Myth: Starting from the Destined One Chapter 142 - 142 138 The Nineteenth Layer of Hell the Hell

Chapter 142: Chapter 138: The Nineteenth Layer of Hell: the Hell of the Human Realm! Chapter 142: Chapter 138: The Nineteenth Layer of Hell: the Hell of the Human Realm! Ye Wenjie raised his hand towards a group of male and female cultivators, who then sat down according to the strange formation around Li Ping’an, each in front of a lamp. Ye Wenjie then started reciting the Taoist Scriptures and explaining them to the people.

After forty minutes, at 8:40, Li Ping’an, almost ready to fall asleep, yawned and then noticed Ye Wenjie, who had been reciting the scriptures, gave him a sinister smile as if to remind Li Ping’an to wait a little longer.

“It can be confird now!”

Li Ping’an had realized since he first saw Ye Wenjie, despite Ye Wenjie being blind, that he could sohow “see” him, see the cultivators around him.

But what thod was she using to see everything around her?

High technology? Feng Shui? Or so other way?

Curious, Li Ping’an imdiately closed his eyes and uttered softly:

“Divine Travel! Astral Projection!”

“Hey, hey, hey! You’ve been talking nonsense for forty minutes now, what did you want to see for exactly?”

Li Ping’an’s voice, transmitted by “Divine Travel,” suddenly resounded in Ye Wenjie’s mind, causing her to be montarily startled, almost misreading the scriptures, visibly shaken by Li Ping’an’s interruption.

After a mont, Ye Wenjie ca to her senses. Although her mouth was still preaching to the Taoists, she communicated with Li Ping’an through telepathy:

“Can’t an immortal just wait a little longer? There are only twenty more minutes.”

“I can’t wait any longer. If you aren’t going to speak up, I’m going to leave right now!”

“…”

Ye Wenjie didn’t respond, obviously doubting that Li Ping’an would leave.

Li Ping’an suddenly opened his eyes, looking at Ye Wenjie who was still preaching, his eyes filled with astonishnt and admiration, before he fell silent.

On the other hand, Ye Wenjie craftily said: “Immortal Li, you won’t leave!”

Li Ping’an: “Why not?”

The voice in Ye Wenjie’s thoughts was imnsely excited:

“Because what you are about to witness is a miracle, seizing the essence of heaven and earth, and as an immortal, you can’t possibly not want to see that!”

Li Ping’an curiously asked:

“What exactly is it? Please don’t keep hanging anymore! Don’t tell these acts are just for praying for blessings and averting disasters, for the so-called rits!”

Ye Wenjie countered:

“Immortal Li, haven’t you noticed that our world feels just like a hell? Selfishness, corruption, disgust, perversion… it’s everywhere, filled with sin. As the President of the Bright Council of Yan Kingdom, standing at the highest point, I can see it all too clearly!”

Li Ping’an: “I’ve seen and experienced all that you are talking about, but you omitted one thing that hell does not have: hope!”

Ye Wenjie: “Indeed, I did omit sothing, and that is the despair that cos after hope!”

“No, what do these things you’ve ntioned have to do with what you are doing right now?”

Li Ping’an said speechlessly:

“You aren’t trying to transform this world through taphysics, are you? That reminds of soone I once knew!”

Ye Wenjie: “Who?”

Li Ping’an: “A deceased close friend of mine, nad Zhuge Weiwei. He shared your sa ideal, intending to transform this filthy, evil world!”

Ye Wenjie imdiately denied:

“Immortal Li, you are mistaken. I am not your friend, nor am I here to transform this world, but to destroy it, to annihilate this hell!”

Li Ping’an gave Ye Wenjie a disdainful look: “Just you? Ridiculous!”

Ye Wenjie smiled smugly: “But what if you joined ?”

Li Ping’an asked nervously: “What do you an?”

Ye Wenjie: “Aren’t you interested in my na?”

Li Ping’an said exasperatedly: “What does your na have to do with ?”

Ye Wenjie was not angered and continued,

“Then let tell you a story. Perhaps you’ll understand why I do this?”

Li Ping’an: “I don’t want to listen!”

Yet, Ye Wenjie still began to tell Li Ping’an:

Fifty years ago, there was a singer nad Ye Jianguo. He insisted on using the money he earned from performances to support more than a thousand underprivileged children.

The singer Ye Jianguo thought that good deeds would bring a happy, fulfilling life, but later, he was diagnosed with stomach cancer and spent all his remaining money on treatnt.

During his treatnt, the parents of the children he had supported kept calling him during his hardest tis:

“Didn’t you say you’d support him through college? Now you’re backing out just as he starts middle school?”

Good deeds not only didn’t pay off, but they also led to an even quicker death!

Soon after, Ye Jianguo passed away from his illness. On the day of his morial service, none of the people he had supported ca to see him off.

Five years later, his wife, who had always silently supported him, was killed by a rock thrown by three mischievous children he had once supported while driving on the highway ho, leaving their children orphaned!

This story sarcastically depicts the evil of human nature in full!

And this story is an experience that Ye Wenjie personally went through, leaving an indelible trauma in her heart!

“…”

After hearing it, Li Ping’an was deeply touched and moved, but there was nothing he could do; the events had passed decades ago, and nothing could be changed.

After pondering for a mont, he asked respectfully,

“So, you are Mr. Ye Jianguo’s daughter, right?”

“Yes! I am Ye Jianguo’s daughter, Ye Wen!”

Li Ping’an countered:

“But you are now called Ye Wenjie!”

“Immortal Li, you’ve finally noticed sothing interesting!”

Ye Wenjie smiled faintly:

“Immortal Li must have read the physical book of ‘Three-Body’ or watched the related TV series, right?”

Li Ping’an joked:

“You suddenly bring this up; you’re not trying to imply that you want to invite the Three-Body beings to Earth to transform humanity like Ye Wenjie opened Pandora’s Box in ‘Three-Body’, right? If I’m not mistaken, that’s why you changed your na and aspire to be like Ye Wenjie, to betray Earth?”

Ye Wenjie:

“Immortal Li is joking. I just want to transform this world, which is like Hell!”

Li Ping’an:

“But earlier, you said you wanted to destroy this world!”

Ye Wenjie:

“That’s right. I originally wanted to transform this filthy world, the filthy Hell; but after seeing too much darkness, undergoing such an unbearable childhood, and accidentally obtaining a book that shouldn’t exist, I changed my mind!”

Li Ping’an pressed on:

“A book that shouldn’t exist? What book is that?”

“The Book of the Earth!”

Ye Wenjie proudly added:

“Because of this book, I went from being a little girl who was abandoned and couldn’t afford als, to becoming the most powerful person in Yan Kingdom! It is also because of this book that I beca disabled. And it is because of this book that I discovered that people in this world are so malicious because we live between the eighteenth layer of Hell and the nineteenth layer, known as the Hell of the Human Realm or the Purgatory of the Human Realm!”
