The Pinnacle of Life

When Shelly saw him reacting vigorously while searching the woman’s soul, she could not help but feel overwrought. “What’s wrong? What did you see?” she asked.

Alex slowly let his hand go.

Meanwhile, that woman was already in a muddled state after her main soul had received severe damage. The old iron chain of Persephone’s Folly Bridge didn’t intend to let her go and soon dragged her under the bridge.

Over there, the River Styx was surging.

Her soul immediately sank into the water without even having time to bubble on it.

Alex looked at Shelly. “The Pool of Afterlife. We can truly return to the mortal realm and reshape our flesh and blood vessels only if we enter the Pool of the Afterlife. And, this place is known as the Underworld.”

Shelly froze for a brief moment. “I think I’ve heard of it somewhere…”

Alex said, “There’s another important point. Each person who enters this place will be given a hundred years. They have to be reborn within that time, and those who fail can only wait to perish or borrow stuff to stay behind or snatch away someone else’s qualification before rebirth, just like that woman earlier. Moreover, this place doesn’t belong to a realm on Earth. Many still come in and consider this a place for trials.”

Shelly walked down Persephone’s Folly Bridge. Her beautiful eyes gleamed. If it weren’t for her short figure, she would’ve surely been devastatingly beautiful. He wondered who she must’ve been in her previous life.

A magistrate once enforced the laws here, but he later strayed into the demonic path, refined the entire Underworld into a demonic realm, and separated it from River Styx to jump out of the three realms.
