The man complained about the current system of the Underworld before asking Wei Huo, “Are you willing to join the Reformists?”
Wei Huo was not interested in what he had said. He was only interested in the news about the Transcendence Path. Wei Huo asked, “What do you plan to do if I say that we’re unwilling?”
Since he’d accidentally revealed so much information, would he kill him if he did not agree?
Unexpectedly, the man said, “I won’t do much. If you don’t agree, you can come to see me often. It’s alright. We can talk again. You will understand one day.”
Wei Huo asked, “Are you letting us go after saying so much?”
Although Wei Huo did not think that a Rare-ranked creature like him could do anything, would it not be bad if everyone told him their plan to overthrow the current Underworld system?
Unexpectedly, the man said, “What does that matter? Are you aware of the current situation in the Underworld? No one will believe you even if you spread this news randomly! Even if we’re prepared to innovate, that group of people will not care at all. Do you understand? People are already that cold. Even if a disaster was about to happen, they would still seem indifferent.”
Wei Huo knew very well that the man was telling the truth. Once a person did not have to worry about their own death, there were not many things in the world that could scare them. People in the Underworld would only die of old age. In any other situation, they would be revived by the Rules immediately.
That was why the people in the Underworld were not afraid of death. Besides, not only were they not afraid of death, but they were also not afraid of the Reformists. They looked like they did not care no matter how much trouble they caused.
It was just like an adult watching a child play. If this was reality, beings like the Reformists would be killed as soon as there were any signs.
Wei Huo started asking questions. “What are the Reformists doing? What can you do under the restrictions of the Rules?”
The man said, “Yes, we can’t do anything under the restrictions of the Rules. However, there are still some people and objects in the Underworld that are not bound by the Rules, such as this field. As long as one uses these things well, one will have a chance to change the current system. Besides, you don’t know, right? The current Ten Temple Kings are not the Ten Temple Kings of the past. The Ten Kings of the past have already transcended. They only obtained the divine weapon left behind by the previous Ten Kings, so they can change the Rules of the Underworld freely. As long as the divine weapon is taken away, they will be nothing.”
Wei Huo thought about it and said, “I want to know about the Underworld being a transcendent world channel.”
The man said, “Save it. It’s useless if non-Mythical creatures know. However, if you insist, I can take you to see the leader. However, this is provided that you’ve agreed to join the Reformists!”
Wei Huo nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll join the Reformists and meet its leader.”
Wei Huo did not see any other Mythical creatures in the Underworld. Perhaps they had already heard about the transcendent world and left.
Besides, if what the flame had said was true, the world was a program and the management center of the program was a computer. Would the transcendent world be represented by another computer then?
Wei Huo was curious. He wanted to know what would happen after he transcended this world.
However, the man did not lead the way. He said, “Before that happens, I would like to ask about your strength. If you are very strong, it will be easier for you to meet the leader.”
Wei Huo looked at Wu Bin. “Show him your Epic stage.”
Wu Bin replied, “Yes!”
After he said that, Wu Bin’s imposing aura spread out. The man was very surprised. Due to the Rules, the imposing aura could not affect his mind much. However, he did feel the imposing aura.
“An Epic-ranked expert? I see. You were experts of this level when you were alive. You entered the Combat Academy, right? Great, I think the leader will be very willing to see you.” As the man spoke, he put the hoe on his shoulder.
He then said, “You can call me Mazin. This is my code name. The Reformists are divided into 12 departments according to the Zodiac. Each department is in charge of a different mission. You guys are very strong, so you might be assigned to the tiger department.”
Wei Huo asked, “Since you’re the adopted son of the previous Yama King, you should be an officer of the organization, right?”
Mazin said, “I’m too weak. It’s difficult for me to improve my strength in the Underworld. I’ve been stagnant for hundreds of years. Besides, I don’t like to order others around. Instead of scheming, I still hope to recruit geniuses for the organization in the rear.”
Mazin led the others into the city. They crossed a bustling street and walked into a cold alley. Moments later, they arrived at an old courtyard house.
When he arrived at the courtyard house, Wei Huo could feel that the Rules there were different from those in the city. This should be a building left behind by the previous Rule-level expert.
Mazin asked Wei Huo and his companion to wait for a while. He then entered the courtyard. Moments later, he led the two of them into the courtyard. There were a lot of people in the courtyard, but they seemed very busy.
Several of them held some documents in their hands and ran around. It seemed like they were flustered even as they transferred the documents.
Mazin led the two of them into a room. Wei Huo saw a huge desk with all sorts of documents on it. Behind the desk was a young man about 25 years old. He was wearing a white coat and he had long hair. His face was angular, and his eyes were sharp.
Ma Jin whispered to Wei Huo and Xiao Bin, “This is the leader of the Reformists, Chen.”
Wei Huo was a little surprised. A single word for a name?
Chen lifted his head and observed Wei Huo closely. Unfortunately, he could not sense Wei Huo’s strength. He was surprised when he saw Wei Huo’s eyes, as they were dark and deep.
Chen said, “Welcome, new comrades. The Reformists need geniuses like you. I heard that you have questions for me?”
He got straight to the point. Since the other party wanted to ask questions, he would answer directly and use this method to remove any unfamiliarity.
Additionally, Chen had been smiling the whole time. His tone was neither fast nor slow, making him appear very steady. His attitude made it easy for strangers to have a good impression of him.
Wei Huo got straight to the point and said, “I want to know about Transcendence.”
