Chapter 1599 1582: Return to Hell (1)

A world without bounds or limits, yet defined and contained. It was as contradictory as it sounded, but Wei Wuyin was most familiar with this unique space. It was Hell. The literal manifestation and location of Hell and all its denizens. Of which, Wei Wuyin, the Neo-Dawn Ascendant Emperor, found himself an occupant for the fourth time.

Who would have guessed that this fourth time was not to tackle the Fourth Calamity but to repeat the First Calamity? After all these years, Wei Wuyin was here as a whole, not an amnesiac with a fresh, fragmented, and disrupted personality segregated from his consciousness and memories.

Wei Wuyin was here with his true body and true soul, so there was no coming back upon failure, the latter of which still lacked any protections gained from cultivating the Scripture of Sin and the True Soul of Sin. He would be eradicated should he fail-no exceptions.

Not even his Stellar-Paragon Physique and Mystic-tier True Void Dragon Bloodline would keep him alive. His True Soul would be cleansed alongside his real body, eradicating the Primordial Seed of Sin that had merged flawlessly with him. Fortunately, his knowledge and experience handling matters of Hell and the Heavenly Daos were sufficient to establish a baseline of confidence.Findd new stories at novelhall.com

'So I do have to repeat the Calamities of Hell. What a peculiar development. Are they different or similar?' Wei Wuyin thought as he walked on the flat surface in a randomly selected direction. Within moments, he caught a glimpse of a luminous glow in the distance. The glow was mystifying and carried an irresistible allure.

Whispers flowed through the air, disembodied yet clear.

They were voices, fragments of Wei Wuyin's memories, each as familiar as Wei Wuyin's own heartbeat-voices that he could never, ever forget. As he stepped closer to the glowing radiance, the surroundings morphed chaotically until they stabilized into solid shapes and recognizable terrain. Trees of black wood bark with crimson leaves came to being alongside a sky of grey, insidiously dull and unbearably gloomy. The leaves dripped with a sanguine liquid as if the trees were crying, diffusing a strong scent of blood in the air.

The first lake was completed.

'There are forty-nine lakes total, each containing a distinct memory, an alternative past, or possibility of my future. It took me seven years and seven months to complete last time. I spent most of that time trying to escape or simply idling about in my amnesic state.' Wei Wuyin saw another luminous glow in the distance. He didn't hesitate to walk forward, stepping upon the water. The lake abruptly vanished, becoming solid earth.

'As long as I show no rejection of my past, distraught, regret, yearning, or fearful emotions towards my alternative pasts of what ifs, and reject all ill-destined futures and remain unmoved by artificial blessed futures, then I can conquer each lake. That's the logic behind it. It's not about not showing emotion, but about reacting with the appropriate emotion while avoiding any disillusionment or negativity. What a terrifying Calamity.'

During his first attempt at this, he was given the 'Survived' mark. This was largely because none of the lakes could stimulate any effect on him, simply meaning he outlasted the calamity's influence rather than defeating any aspect of it. In a way, he passed without any failure solely due to viewing these memories with a strong feeling of disconnect, and therefore never felt any sensation of 'loss' throughout his seven-year stay.

This time...he intended to conquer this Hell!

The Calamity of True Loss! He was determined to claim it!
