Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 871: Old Tales of Hell

Looking at Pei Yan, who was hesitant after hearing this, the young man sat up straight, patted his shoulder, and comforted him: "You don't have to worry too much. This is just the most extreme situation I can imagine. If this really happens, it would be equivalent to a war between two planes, and Lin Junzhao would not tolerate such a situation. Whether you accept the conditions or not is your decision."

After saying this, the young man changed his tone and joked: "But these are words for later. If you want to gain strength or even receive a gift from me, it depends on whether you have the courage to accept the challenge and survive successfully."

"Challenge?" Pei Yan raised his head in confusion upon hearing this.

"Yes! Challenge! To achieve a transformational growth within half a year and win against the other major planes' Children of Origin in the tournament, do you think this will be an easy task?" The young man said as he gently tapped the sofa armrest with his fingers, looking at Pei Yan with a slightly provocative gaze and joked: "Before you arrived, Lin Junzhao was already aware of the dangers of this training and consented to your arrival. If you're afraid, you can choose to refuse and return the same way, it's fine. Lin Junzhao has prepared another relatively safe training plan for you, which will also improve your strength, just not as significantly as it would with me."

"Is the success rate high?" Pei Yan asked with a frown and a serious expression.

"I can't say for sure; it depends on your personal will and overall qualities. I can only say it's very dangerous!" The young man shrugged, opened his palms, and said helplessly.

After hearing this, Pei Yan lowered his head in thought for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Is the reward worth it?"

"Of course! The greater the risk, the greater the reward! After my trial, you not only gain my Power of Origin, unlocking the key to the rise of your inner power, but you can also compensate for the flaws contained within yourself. Do you think this reward is worth it or not?"

"I accept!"

"Are you sure? Don't blame me for not warning you. This training process is extremely painful. During the process, you will endure both mental and physical torment. You might die and are likely to go insane. Think carefully before you decide!" Upon hearing Pei Yan's answer, the young man leaned forward, staring into Pei Yan's eyes, hoping to see a hint of hesitation and fear.

"I accept! Now tell me what kind of training I will undergo!"

Upon hearing Pei Yan's calm answer and seeing his eyes, as tranquil as still water, without a ripple of emotion, the young man sat back down with a slight sense of disappointment and casually threw out a question: "Do you know why the plane you are in currently is called the Hell Plane?"

"Uh!" Pei Yan, who had prepared himself mentally to hear about the training plan, was at a loss for words, not knowing how to answer the young man's out-of-left-field question.

"Don't know how to answer? Let me ask you another way. You've been here for a while now. Does this place look like the Hell you imagined?"

"Should I speak honestly?"

"Of course!"

Hearing this, Pei Yan scratched his head and smiled: "To be honest, it doesn't really seem like Hell. Aside from the areas covered by the Red Calamity, the restored parts of the Hell Plane are quite picturesque in my eyes. In terms of air quality and natural environment, it's much better than my world. When I first came here, I was puzzled because it didn't look like Hell at all, but later I didn't investigate further. I thought it might be a cultural difference in understanding."

"No, there's no difference in this regard because our myths have influenced yours, so our understanding is mutual. Hell should be as you imagined it."

Finally understanding the implication of the young man's words, Pei Yan cautiously probed: "Are you saying that the environment here has changed, and it wasn't like this before?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The young man nodded with a bitter smile: "The natural environment here used to be no different from Hell in mythology, filled with smoke, overflowing with magma, a pervasive atmosphere of death and terror, and various Hell creatures running rampant. These creatures were without order or emotion, delighting in fighting and slaughter all day long. And I was born in such a world."

The young man reminisced with a trace of nostalgia mixed with a hint of disgust: "At first, I didn't find anything wrong with this and grew up happily in such an environment. But you know our lives are infinite. Over time, watching these emotionally unintelligent creatures fight and kill in front of me and looking at this chaotic living environment, sigh! This indeed made it hard to stay cheerful."

"And then you changed it to what it is now? How did you do it?" Pei Yan asked wide-eyed in disbelief. Changing an entire world's environment because of a personal mood seemed too exaggerated.

"The process is complex. You've been in the Demon Realm for a while and understand the internal conflict between the old and new nobility in the Demon Race. You should have heard something about the origin of the old nobility."

"Yes! Sifuer once told me, all old nobles have your bloodline. It was said that you possessed a human body and, after mating with the most powerful Demon Race woman, your descendants formed the families." Recalling what Sifuer said about the origins of the two factions' conflict, Pei Yan answered truthfully.

"That's right, this is the origin of the old nobility and the Demon Race." The young man put his hand on his forehead as he recalled: "Even as the Master of Origin of this world, I couldn't drive away that unruly band of creatures alone. Therefore, I chose the Asura Race as the object of dominion, which is the predecessor of the Demon Race."

Noticing Pei Yan's puzzled look, the young man quickly gestured to stop: "This Asura Race has little to do with the Asura Realm in the Daoist Realm, it's merely a coincidence that they have the same name! I selected the Asura Race because they had the largest population and the highest intelligence and learning ability at the time. What I did was possess a male of this race and start breeding descendants, altering their constitution to make them stronger and more suited to wield my power. As the Asura Race grew under my guidance and became the Demon Race I envisioned, the battle between the Hell Plane's natives and me began. For the following long years, this world became a real Hell, filled with slaughter and destruction. The Demon Race and the Hell natives fought each other to mutual destruction. In the end, those arrogant beasts finally lowered their proud heads, prostrating themselves at my feet in bitter plea. They too were children of Hell and enjoyed my grace. They couldn't understand why they were to be hunted to extinction. Watching tears in the eyes of these usually stubborn and wild beasts, my heart softened at that moment!"
