WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.240 Evil gods have descended, plunging the world into apocalypse and 2 00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:06.480 chaos as humans turn into zombies. As always, our mc 3 00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:09.240 is betrayed by his girlfriend and best friend, but he 4 00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:12.439 somehow magically goes back in time to change everything. Along 5 00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:14.560 with this, he gets the power to control the flames 6 00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:17.000 and a whole prison of evil gods at his disposal. 7 00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:20.199 In this prison, time stands still, and he can store 8 00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:23.280 food without worrying about its spoiling, and even animals and 9 00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:26.000 captives without fear of them escaping or starving to death. 10 00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:28.800 Let's find out how it all began. The blood moon 11 00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:31.120 rose on top of the ruined city. In the rubble 12 00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:35.039 of the broken metropolis, our mc Cheyenne had been beaten, bloodied, 13 00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:38.039 and broken. In the distance, demons wreaked havoc without a 14 00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:41.280 single ounce of mercy for the population. Their strong strides 15 00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:45.240 and powerful limbs destroyed skyscrapers, tearing through concrete like paper. 16 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.560 Under the demon's command was an army of zombies, undead 17 00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.840 monsters hungry for human flesh. The few survivors tried to 18 00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:55.039 run for their lives, desperately clinging to non existent hope. 19 00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:58.000 Our boy was continuously trampled and kicked while he was down. 20 00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:01.359 A witch snickering at his misfortune. She then started dousing 21 00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:05.000 his wounded body with gasoline, covering every inch. The witch 22 00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:08.200 in the Caped villain said their sarcastic farewells while they 23 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.200 flaunt their stolen treasure. The Caped villain stole the most 24 00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.200 precious thing that Kiayan owned, the Token of the sixth 25 00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:16.519 Great Hell. He looked at the man he considered his 26 00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:19.519 best friend as the gasoline painfully stung his open wounds. 27 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:22.040 His only concern was the well being of his missing 28 00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.599 little sister. The villain stimulated the token, summoning the power 29 00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:27.799 of a monstrous bear that was wearing the skulls of 30 00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.799 its victims as a necklace. The smug villain confessed that 31 00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.799 Kiayan's adorable little sister had already been dragged to her 32 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.640 miserable resting place for being a nuisance. At least, her 33 00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.439 pure blood was still quite useful for something else. As 34 00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:41.799 furious as he was, chia Yan did not have the 35 00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:44.959 strength to stand up, let alone fight back. The retreating 36 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.439 survivors looked up to the villain with hope. They knew 37 00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:50.359 him as Shehu June, the strongest ability user blessed by 38 00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:52.799 the gods. As Shajun took the witch into his arms 39 00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:56.079 and flew away. He left Chiayan with a painful parting gift, 40 00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:58.920 a lit lighter aimed to burn him alive. The giant 41 00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.719 demon continued its destructive advance until it was met with 42 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.680 the summoned giant bear. Unchained from its restraints, the gargantuan 43 00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.199 animal wrestled with the pale demon. It was a full 44 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:11.319 on kaiju battle. At the same time, cha Yan's body 45 00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:14.159 was swallowed by the fiery ignition. He gritted his teeth 46 00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:16.840 through the agonizing sensation of his skin being burnt to 47 00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.319 a crisp As he desperately wished for a do over. 48 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.879 Cheyenne vowed that if the after life exists, he definitely 49 00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:25.759 won't let those who wronged him go unscathed. Fueled by 50 00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.719 hate and agony, his right eye assimilated with the flames 51 00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:31.159 as he heard a playful voice granting him his wish. 52 00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:33.759 His heart beat slowed to a crawl, and with one 53 00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:37.159 final pump, the flow of time reversed. The fiery power 54 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.680 coalesced in his eye as the physical and emotional pain 55 00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:42.439 he felt was imprinted on his soul. Che Yan woke 56 00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:44.719 up in the comfort of his own bed, sweating from 57 00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:47.840 what seemed like a long and feverish nightmare. The wounds 58 00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:50.039 and the burns were gone. Could the voice he heard 59 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.639 on the brink of death be real? He rummaged around 60 00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:54.840 the bed and found his phone. He saw the date 61 00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.759 July first, twenty twenty eight, three whole days before the 62 00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.599 apocalypse started. Putting on a shirt, he ran to the 63 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:02.639 bathroom to sober up and try to make sense of 64 00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:05.000 what he just went through. He still could not believe 65 00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.960 that everything had started over. He felt normal and healthy. 66 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.599 The only difference was the change in his right eye. 67 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:13.120 It turned pale gold in color thanks to the fire 68 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:15.360 seed left buried in him as he was burned to death. 69 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.240 Cheyenne quickly took a moment to calm down and adapted 70 00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:21.319 to the situation surprisingly fast. He suited up and went 71 00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:23.719 out the door. He took his first steps outside and 72 00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:26.800 took in the sights. His neighborhood wasn't necessarily nice to 73 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.159 look at, but all of it would look a lot worse. 74 00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:32.080 Three days from now, the apocalypse will arrive, and it 75 00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.919 will turn many humans into zombies. Along with the descent 76 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.960 of strange gods. Some humans would awaken powers to stand 77 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:41.599 for themselves, but resistance would be Ultimately futile cities would 78 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:44.759 be turned into hellscapes overrun by demons, with the few 79 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:48.800 survivors fighting for limited resources to survive. His girlfriend, the 80 00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:51.879 witch rue Olan, and his best friend, the traitorous Shi Jun, 81 00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:54.800 would betray him without batting an eye. Speaking of the 82 00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:58.319 literal devil, Rulan started ringing him up. Cha Yan picked 83 00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.199 up the phone, and the shrill which is voice, immediately blared. 84 00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:04.479 She criticized him for not answering right away, asking if 85 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:06.759 he was trying to break up Rue Alan had always 86 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.400 been like this whenever something does not go her way, 87 00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.400 she threatens to end the relationship. In the past, his 88 00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.639 foolish and pathetic self would anxiously and desperately try to 89 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:17.959 appease her, But now he could not give a single 90 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:22.680 flying fuck. He simply answered sure, confusing the witch. She 91 00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:25.560 was expecting Xiayan to beg for forgiveness like a puppy. 92 00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.800 After all, cha Yan doubled down, finally breaking it off 93 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.600 with the witch. He's tired of her conniving ass. He 94 00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:34.199 does not want to be a glorified servant anymore. He 95 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:36.800 hung up and stashed his phone in his pocket, gaining 96 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:39.560 some semblance of peace. He locked in. Chia Yan knew 97 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:41.160 that he had to hurry up and take care of 98 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:44.079 business with his limited time. Back in Rue Alan's home, 99 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.480 she angrily threw her phone away after being cut off 100 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:49.360 before she could start cursing Chiayan out that dog of 101 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.079 hers had the gall to hang up and block her 102 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.480 so fast. The witch and Shu June just finished a 103 00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.639 round of smashing pissers. He asked if Chiayan finally found 104 00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.519 out about their little fling, but that shouldn't be possible. 105 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:02.480 Rule Lan had the loser on a leash, never disobeying 106 00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.439 her orders and demands. Shi Jun just laughed. He didn't 107 00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:07.839 give a shit either way. He was more concerned about 108 00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.079 the message his old man sent him about collecting some 109 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:14.120 ancient family heirlooms filled with spiritual energy as something big 110 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.519 might happen soon. Rue Alan remembered her loser boyfriend talking 111 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:20.519 about a family heirloom token before she recalled that the 112 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:24.240 ugly centuries old artifact is currently owned by Shayun Cha 113 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.319 Yan's sister. Rue Alan believed that her dog would always 114 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.959 come back to her for forgiveness. At that time, she'll 115 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.160 just demand the token. Pleased by her ingenuity, sha June 116 00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:35.600 straddled the witch and they went for another round of 117 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:38.360 Hide the sausage. The token they were just talking about 118 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.360 was a poorly maintained slab of antique. Che Yan had 119 00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:43.800 rushed over thirty kilometers in a cab to his sister's 120 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.360 school to ask for the token, ditching his day job. 121 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.040 Cha Yun asked what was wrong with his eyes, and 122 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:51.839 he refused to explain. He just asked his little sister 123 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.399 if she trusts her big bro. They have been incredibly 124 00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:57.680 close since they were young, so obviously she did. The 125 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.199 two have always relied on each other growing up. If 126 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.279 there is one person that Cheyun would trust unconditionally, it 127 00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.639 would be her big bro. She knows that everything he 128 00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.199 does is for her own good. Since that was the case, 129 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:10.720 cha Yan tasked her to pack her things and come 130 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:13.639 with him immediately. She obliged and asked for two hours 131 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.240 to prepare her stuff. Chayan wanted to know why she 132 00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:19.360 did not even ask for further explanation. Like she said, 133 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:21.959 Chayun trusted her big bro more than anyone else in 134 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.160 the world. He watched as she ran to pack her 135 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:26.759 stuff up. He vowed that this time he would make 136 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.439 sure that Yun would be safe and sound. To do that, 137 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.839 he will need the family heirloom. Resting in his palm, 138 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.439 all he could remember was Shu Jun opening some sort 139 00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:37.120 of portal and summoning a giant beast using the rusty 140 00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:39.600 old thing. He wondered how that snake managed to do 141 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:42.240 such a mythical feat. Suddenly, the fire seat in his 142 00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:45.000 golden eye shot out and hit the token's surface. The 143 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.720 heat from the fire melted the rusty surface and revealed 144 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:51.040 the token's original form. This is an ancient artifact connected 145 00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:53.720 to the sixth Great Hell Chia. Yen was suddenly sucked 146 00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:57.560 into a wormhole of sorts. Traveling inside the token's separate dimension, 147 00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.600 the portal eventually spat him out into an entirely different 148 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.480 realm filled with perpetual darkness. In the middle of it 149 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:06.399 was a giant tower with countless crimson chains attached in 150 00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:08.959 every direction. He could not even find the words to 151 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:11.519 explain what he was seeing. Inside the tower was a 152 00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.360 plethora of monsters and demons from all sorts of eras, 153 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.120 locked up and desperate to get out. They all looked 154 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.399 at him with their penetrating glares. As he descended to 155 00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:22.240 its entrance. The monsters and demons tried to scare him 156 00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:25.199 with their snarls and gazes, and it was incredibly effective. 157 00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:28.560 Then a lightning tribulation struck the tower with an ungodly 158 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.720 amount of force. The lightning seemingly aimed at the monsters 159 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:34.680 that dared to intimidate Cheayan. Each one of them suffered 160 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:38.319 a painful demise as the destructive power mutilated their grotesque bodies. 161 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:42.279 The destructive tribulation continued to go wild, seemingly connecting to 162 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:45.839 Chayan himself. A mysterious power was suppressing the monsters in 163 00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:48.439 the tower. Right then and there, he heard the same 164 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:51.040 playful voice he heard before his life was snuffed out. 165 00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:55.000 Before time reversed, the mysterious entity's lips curved into a smile, 166 00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:58.839 revealing her fangs. Chayan's guard immediately went up and stared 167 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.439 at the humanoid creature in front of him. She introduced 168 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.319 herself as Sudhaji, a beautiful nine tailed fox. She extended 169 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:08.439 a respectful greeting to Siayan, the new Hell's prison warden. 170 00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:11.319 You see. Tens of thousands of years ago, the immortal 171 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:15.000 Emperor gathered twelve immortals Tai Bai, Tai Shang, the Three 172 00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:19.480 Pure Ones, Guan Yin, Fusi, Shuanu, and others to jointly 173 00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:22.839 forge the demon's suppressing tower. The finished product was dubbed 174 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.199 the Sixth Great Hell, the nightmare of every evil incarnate 175 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.959 out there. Throughout the ages, all sorts of powerful beasts, monsters, 176 00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:32.759 and demons were locked away for their grievous sins in 177 00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:35.679 the Tower of Endless Punishment. They suffered the torment of 178 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.000 soul burning heavenly lightning day and night. The pardon token 179 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:41.480 in Chayan's hand is the only key that can unlock 180 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:44.440 the door to this fearsome place. That's also why Sudaji 181 00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:46.840 referred to him as the new Warden. Since this was 182 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:49.279 his first time in this place. The Fox invited him 183 00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:51.840 to go inside and check on his prisoners. She promised 184 00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:53.759 to give him a more detailed report of the place 185 00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:56.639 as they walked through. Curious and intrigued by what this 186 00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:59.519 all meant, Chayen took her up on her invitation. He 187 00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:01.240 walked up to the ominous door as if he had 188 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.600 nothing to lose. As soon as he entered, he was 189 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:06.480 greeted by the swift weaving of violent energy bouncing around 190 00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:09.039 the first floor. Sudaji warned him to look out and 191 00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.879 be careful of those dancing waves. As if by instinct, 192 00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:14.440 his golden eye lit up as it summoned a seemingly 193 00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:17.720 conscious trail of fire that protected him from the malevolent energy. 194 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:21.039 Sudaji was impressed with how efficiently he handled the tower's 195 00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:23.799 first surprise. She identified the flame in his eyes as 196 00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:26.360 the Nether fire seed. It must be the catalyst that 197 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:28.679 made it possible for him to restart his life after 198 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:32.159 death in the underworld. Sudaji also confessed that she contacted 199 00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:34.600 him as his life flickered away. The bond between the 200 00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:37.080 Fox and the Jia family runs deep. She had been 201 00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:39.200 the guiding spirit of the sixth Great Hell for a 202 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.399 long time now, and she could not bear to see 203 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:44.600 Yan get killed by pathetic villains. The despair and anger 204 00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:46.639 at the moment of death must have awakened his flame 205 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:49.639 ability igniting the Nether fire seed. She barely had to 206 00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:52.759 do anything. That's one big question answered. Now that the 207 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:55.799 apocalypse is inching closer once more, he won't be as 208 00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:58.679 useless and helpless as he was in the past. This time, 209 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.679 he was determined to do every differently. Itching to learn 210 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:04.759 more about this tower, Chiayan asked Sudaji to proceed and 211 00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:07.399 lead the way. She explained that the sixth Great Hell 212 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:10.879 is divided into five layers. Based on Cheayan's soul power, 213 00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:13.600 the doors to another floor would light up, representing his 214 00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:16.720 current limit. The higher he can go, the stronger imprisoned 215 00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:19.679 creatures he can encounter, so he'll need to increase his 216 00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:22.519 soul power fast to face them. Right now, the only 217 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:25.159 section is lit and the only accessible area is the 218 00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:27.600 one on the ground floor. Behind the prison cell was 219 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:31.279 a familiarly terrifying figure. It was the same gigantic beast 220 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.960 that Shu Jun summoned and rode in his previous life. 221 00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:36.799 Curiosity got the best of Jayan, and they walked a 222 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.320 little too close to the prison cell, waking up the 223 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:42.480 monster as it roared a terrifying war cry. What happened 224 00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:45.519 next shocked him to his core. The monstrous beast started 225 00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:48.279 acting like a cuddly pet, seemingly pleased to see the 226 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:51.240 new warden of the prison. It praised Kiayan for being 227 00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:54.000 young and promising. The prisoners of the tower had been 228 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.240 waiting for a new warden to arrive for thousands of 229 00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:59.159 years after all. The beast even offered its services if 230 00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.519 Kiayan ever need anything. The shameless black Bear even tried 231 00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:04.559 to sneak a kiss in before being kicked away by 232 00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:07.279 Sudija for daring to get close to the warden. As 233 00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:09.279 it turned out, the fox just wanted to get first 234 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:12.320 DIBs on licking Jayan lovingly first. She did not want 235 00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:15.480 any competition for the Warden's attention. She complained that these 236 00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:18.039 thousand year old demon kings had only been imprisoned for 237 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.840 a few thousand years and had already turned into attention 238 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.159 hungry dogs. But not everyone was like Black Bear. Some 239 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.320 of the prisoners did not approve of the young warden 240 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:29.320 only relying on his token. The chained up bird looking 241 00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:31.840 demon would rather get struck by heavenly lightning for another 242 00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.120 thousand years than grovel at the kid. Accounting for Sudhaji 243 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.519 and the Black Bear demon, it seems like the tower 244 00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:40.840 holds an untold number of legendary creatures. Chayan let his 245 00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:43.120 eyes wander until they fell on the Black Bear's next 246 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:45.960 door neighbor. He could see the demon's back, a muscular 247 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:49.519 body with demonic wings attached. The demon turned around showing 248 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:52.399 its humanoid face with a sharp beak. He recognized the 249 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:55.480 demon from the ancient stories and myths, the thunder god 250 00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:59.440 lay Jenji. Sudaji praised the warden for immediately recognizing another 251 00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:02.200 prisoner at a glance. She clarified that in this world, 252 00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:07.600 monsters are ranked as soldiers, generals, commanders, kings, sages, and beyond. 253 00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:10.480 Since cha Yan only had access to the lowest level 254 00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:13.399 of the tower, he could only see general level criminals. 255 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.440 The stronger he becomes and the higher he goes, the 256 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:19.039 stronger the prisoners he could encounter. It is said that 257 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:22.519 the topmost layer even held sage level immortal criminals. Su 258 00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:25.120 Daji had heard Lady nuas Sai about how they once 259 00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:27.799 held god level beings in the tower, but they had 260 00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:30.440 been lost to the sands of time. The fox urged 261 00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:32.919 the young warden to work hard and ascend the ranks 262 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:35.799 to control the entire prison. Chayan was more than just 263 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.000 a little overwhelmed by the scale of this responsibility. The 264 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:42.240 tower is more formidable than anything his mind could have imagined. 265 00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:45.120 The general level beasts on the lowest level are already 266 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:47.799 powerful enough to cause ruinous amounts of destruction with their 267 00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:50.360 power the prisoners on the top floor must be world 268 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:53.600 ending nightmares, but no matter what abomination was locked up 269 00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:56.279 on top, they would all just be prisoners under the 270 00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:59.600 Warden's control. In the future. In the coming apocalypse, he 271 00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:02.759 has the potential to become the strongest with his minuscule 272 00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:04.799 soul power. This is as far as they can go 273 00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:07.240 for now. Che Yan would have to absorb a lot 274 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.519 more soul power to light up more rooms and ascend. 275 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.600 Sudaji also expounded that sole power is different from awakened abilities. 276 00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:17.480 Abilities can be strengthened by absorbing crystal cores from zombies 277 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:20.039 and mutants. Sole power, on the other hand, can only 278 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:23.080 be obtained by killing gods. In three days, when those 279 00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:26.759 deities descend upon Earth, his hunt will officially begin. Before 280 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:30.440 eradicating the gods, he needs to make all the necessary preparations. 281 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.399 Cha Yan found himself in the busy antique street. In 282 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:36.759 his previous life, someone stumbled upon a binding immortal rope 283 00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:39.720 from one of the stalls and became a powerful ability user. 284 00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:42.399 At this point in time, the treasure should still be 285 00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:45.919 for sale on this street. Thankfully, the energy radiating from 286 00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:49.759 the antique display cannot escape his nether fire seed. Coincidentally, 287 00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.000 the head of the Song family and father of Shu Jun. 288 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:55.000 Song Tian is also roaming the streets to shop with 289 00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:59.080 Elder Huang, his trusted antique appraiser. Song Tian spotted Cha 290 00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:01.759 Yen looking around them the stalls, Confused that the young 291 00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:04.639 man had an interest in the wares, He remembered reminding 292 00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:06.559 his son to pick friends that would be useful one 293 00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:09.120 way or another, and Shu Jun assured him that Chiayan 294 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:12.080 was just a foolishly loyal guy who was easy to manipulate. 295 00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:14.320 Song Tien did not pay the young man too much 296 00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:18.039 attention and continued their search for valuable antiques. Elder Huang 297 00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:20.519 assured him that with his discerning eyes they could get 298 00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:23.000 a decent haul. It's too bad that most antiques on 299 00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:25.559 display are useless. Song Tien just got back from an 300 00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:28.559 ancestral worship ceremony where he dreamt of his ancestors telling 301 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:31.200 him to search for ancient artifacts. He did not know 302 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:34.120 what for, but he decided to give it a go. Suddenly, 303 00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:36.360 Elder Huang lit up at the sight of a gourd 304 00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:38.360 tied to the door of one of the antique shops. 305 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:41.080 The old man immediately ran to snag it for the taking, 306 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:43.759 but someone else had already got into it. The shop 307 00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.720 owner was glad to find another gullible customer he could scam, 308 00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:50.120 but that gullible customer was Jiayan. The owner spouted some 309 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:53.200 bullshit about the gourd being an artifact from the Ming dynasty. 310 00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:56.440 He set the price at ten thousand, and Jiayan immediately 311 00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:59.240 recoiled at such an expensive price tag. The young man 312 00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:02.360 pretended to ins sfeck the gourd for any damage or peculiarities. 313 00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:04.840 He argued that the gourd had cracks and it was 314 00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:07.960 tied with a cheap broken string. Chea Yen started haggling 315 00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:10.480 for the antique, setting his price at one hundred yuan 316 00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:13.320 at most. The shop owner immediately grabbed the gord out 317 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:15.360 of his hands and told him to piss off. At 318 00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:18.279 that moment, Elder Huang and Song Tien swooped in to 319 00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:21.559 inspect the antique for themselves, not knowing that Chiayan had 320 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:24.320 already received the treasure for free. It was the shoddy 321 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:26.799 red string tied around the gourd. No one could have 322 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:30.039 thought that the inconspicuous little string would become so valuable 323 00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:32.559 in the coming days. It is the magical treasure dubbed 324 00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:35.039 as the binding Immortal Rope. He was only able to 325 00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:37.840 spot it thanks to his nether fire seed vision. Quietly 326 00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:40.639 tucking the magical treasure in his pockets, he decided to 327 00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:42.480 stick around to have a little bit of fun and 328 00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:45.120 do a little bit of trolling. In his previous life, 329 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:47.639 his little sister was captured by the Song family after 330 00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:50.480 stealing the token. They used her as a blood sacrifice 331 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:53.679 for some twisted ritual. This time, Big Bro is hell 332 00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:56.519 bent on making the whole Song Clan pay. Elder Huang 333 00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:59.159 verified that the gourd has some faint spiritual aura of 334 00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:02.279 ancient origin. He must have sensed the remnant power of 335 00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:05.720 the string. Trusting the old man's vision, Song Tien asked 336 00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:08.679 for the price of the gourd. Chia Yan slyly interrupted 337 00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:11.720 and called Uncle Song's attention with a polite greeting. Song 338 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:14.240 Tan returned the greeting and made some small talk. The 339 00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:16.759 shrewd business man even brought up the ancient heirloom that 340 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:19.639 Siayan had, saying that he wanted to talk about possibly 341 00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:23.159 acquiring it later. In reply to that bold proposal, cha 342 00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:25.879 Yan raised his voice and name dropped the wealthy Song 343 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:28.559 Tian as loud as he could to attract everyone's attention. 344 00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.360 He strongly implied that Uncle Song must be trying to 345 00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:34.679 buy something very valuable, with the streets full of enthusiasts 346 00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:37.200 trying to strike it rich. In Antique Street, a crowd 347 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:39.879 of fanatics quickly surrounded the stall and saw the famous 348 00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:43.440 elder Huang the appraiser. The hungry hyenas quickly offered a 349 00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:46.360 higher initial price than ten thousand for the gourd. Song 350 00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:49.080 Tan was irked by the ensuing bidding war, asserting that 351 00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:51.879 he found the treasure first. The bid had quickly reached 352 00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:55.200 twenty thousand. The antique enthusiasts drove up the price to 353 00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:57.200 fifty thousand in the blink of an eye, as the 354 00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:00.480 shopkeeper encouraged the bidding war to line his pockets. By 355 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:02.720 the end of the brutal auction, Song Tien had to 356 00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:05.640 pay seventy thousand more than the asking price. He was 357 00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:08.160 supposed to get a possible treasure for just ten thousand, 358 00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:11.559 but ended up overpaying because of Chiayan's stunt. The young 359 00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:13.680 man stuck around to talk to Song Tien about his 360 00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:16.839 family heirloom. Uncle Song remained civil and asked the young 361 00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:19.160 man to see the token. He quickly took it out 362 00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:21.440 of his pocket and willingly let them see it from afar. 363 00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:24.240 Elder Huang could already tell that the token was a 364 00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:26.720 real treasure and he wanted to take a closer look 365 00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:29.400 to confirm. Cha Yan quickly put the token back into 366 00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:31.839 his pocket and denied their request for a closer look. 367 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:34.519 Song Tien tried to appeal to the young man's friendship 368 00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:36.839 with his son, asking for a favor for his dear 369 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:39.359 old uncle che Yen asserted that he had nothing to 370 00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:42.000 do with Shu Jun anymore and if there was nothing else, 371 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:45.759 he'd take his leave. Finally, Song Tien offered compensation for 372 00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:48.839 just inspecting the artifact. Che Yan took his phone out, 373 00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:51.200 showed them his PayPal I D and asked for ten 374 00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:53.880 thousand for a one minute inspection. He could give them 375 00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:56.680 five minutes for a thorough look in exchange for fifty thousand. 376 00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:59.480 Song ten gritted his teeth and gave in, bro was 377 00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:02.359 just getting Si gammed left and right. Uncle Song begrudgingly 378 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:04.880 transferred the money over, and the young man tossed the 379 00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:08.000 token to Elder Huang. While the suckers were inspecting every 380 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:11.000 nook and cranny of the artifact. Chia Yan was already 381 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:13.720 busy spending his cash. He ordered an ample stock of 382 00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:16.319 water and food. Since there are empty cells in the 383 00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:19.319 sixth Great Hell Prison, he could just store his supplies there. 384 00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:22.319 Sudaji informed him that any item placed in a separate 385 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:25.319 dimension would remain unchanged. He could even store some live 386 00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:27.960 animals there, so she requested some chickens to snack on. 387 00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:30.720 She was a fox after all. He bought so many 388 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:34.359 essential supplies, from raw ingredients to perishables that the vendors 389 00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:36.599 might think he's starting a farm. It did not take 390 00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:38.839 too long for him to run out of funds. Money 391 00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:41.759 really does run out quickly these days. After five minutes, 392 00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:43.680 he asked the old ass duo if they wanted to 393 00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:46.519 buy some time extension, but song Tien was already sold. 394 00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:49.200 He wanted to buy the token for himself. When the 395 00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:51.480 young man responded that he was open to selling, the 396 00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:53.960 old men lit up with glee, but the price point 397 00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:57.160 he set was way too much. Cheyenn started negotiations at 398 00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:00.480 ten million. The glee on their faces just seconds ago vanished. 399 00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:03.240 Che Yen quickly retrieved the token and asserted that it 400 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:05.359 was an heirloom that had been passed through his family 401 00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:08.240
