Land of Cangxu, His Excellency’s Palace.
A large shadow glided toward the zone from afar at a fast pace.
While flying with high speed, Hu He had a hard time keeping his eyes open as the strong wind howled by his ears. Everything around him was blurry.
When they finally reached the sky above the palace, Fenshui the Ghost King dropped his body abruptly, and with that, Hu He experienced his first bungee jump.
The palace was in ruins. The supplies and resources internally were all divided between the lords of each region and now the place looked just like a stretch of wasteland.
When they almost reached the ground, Fenshui’s body started to shrink as he carried Hu He into the palace and stopped at a corner of the Great Hall.
After having a good look at Hu He’s unbending expression, Fenshui flapped his wings vigorously and suddenly, a crack formed on the ground. In the crack was total blackness.
“Big bird, what are you trying to do!?” Hu He asked vigilantly as he stared down into the darkness.
“Are you not afraid of death? So we shall meet after a thousand years!” Fenshui smiled menacingly and kicked Hu He into the black hole.
After entering the seal, the shadow engulfed Hu He in a split second, though currently he still maintained a calm composure. To him, getting sealed up for a thousand years was something that can be resolved just by committing suicide once.
Otherwise, getting sealed would mean getting banned, he believed that it was impossible for this kind of bug to exist in the game.
Therefore, without any worries about his future, Hu He started to take a good look at his surroundings.
Without a single ray of light, the place was in pin-drop silence. Hu He then took out a searchlight from his inventory, wanting to inspect the situation around him.
A cylinder of light from his torch swept across his surroundings.
However, what happened next left Hu He flabbergasted.
Just as the searchlight managed to light up a three-meter distance, the light ray started to shorten rapidly as though a monster in the dark was devouring the light bit by bit, until everything was back into darkness again.
Hu He was at a loss, so he kept his searchlight on and shouted, “Is anyone there?”
However, just when his voice exited his mouth, it vanished into thin air. Even Hu He himself wasn’t able to hear his own shouts.
Unable to see or hear anything, Hu He began to panic.
After all, everything in this game was extremely real. In a situation where his senses were all blocked, Hu He’s blood ran cold.
Originally, he was planning to do some exploration. But now, he was totally out of ideas. He took his shovel out and decided to finish himself off so he could start all over again from the safe zone.
After turning off his pain detectors, Hu He started to strike at himself.
Albeit, what happened after that scared the living daylights out of Hu He.
Every time his shovel hit his body, a shapeless darkness would shield the part where he was hurt and nullify all the forces.
He tried smashing his head, slashing his throat, and all the other methods of dying, but Hu He was left utterly dumbfounded.
I actually can’t die here!
This scared Hu He out of his wits. If he couldn’t die and return, did it not mean that he would have to stay there for 1,000 years?
I can’t even live a thousand year… don’t tell me I’ll have to pass down this account to my future generations?
Realizing that the situation was not in his favor, Hu He swiftly logged out of the game.
Luckily, he was not in battle mode, so Hu He managed to log out of this sealed world easily.
After he was back to reality, Hu He logged back into the game again, with a sense of hope in his heart.
Darkness, everything was still in an infinite darkness.
Logged out!
Logged in again!
The dark world engulfed him once again.
…
Motherfucker, did I really get banned from my account?
After numerous attempts, Hu He was in the midst of falling apart. He shrunk himself into a ball in the dark, feeling wronged like a little child.
Meanwhile in the live streaming channel, the gamers were bustling with noise and excitement when they saw Hu He got sealed.
Watermelon_Taro: “Look, he was banned for a thousand years. I think this account can be inherited to his future generations after 1,000 years (laughing emoji)!”
Crayon_Shinchan: “When Hu He’s great great great great … great grandson is about to leave his mortal frame, he holds onto his son’s hand as tears roll down his cheeks. Dear son, this account was passed down by your great ancestor, Hu He, the Great Demon King a thousand years ago. I can’t wait any longer, you must carry forward this account’s legacy. According to the recorded history, this account was said to be a legend, an imperishable legend! Finishing his last words, he kicks the bucket (laughing emoji)…”
Xueli_The_Strongest replied to Crayon_Shinchan: “Hahaha! How can you guys say such a thing in such a sad case, hahaha!”
Peppa_Boar: “After a thousand years, Hu He’s future generation logs into the account, lifts his shovel and shouts out to the world. I’m the Great Demon King in this new world, bow to me, you foolish gamers (laughing emoji)!”
Lost_8k_To_Online_Dating replied to Peppa_Boar: “Then, he gets dumped into the Infinite Darkness again by the new generation of players and continues to be banned for another 1,000 years. (laughing emoji)”
Roasting_Jade_Hare_While_Hugging_Chang’e: “Stupid netizens, a bunch of fools, hahaha!”
Captain_Dragonfly: “Hahaha, we have been waiting for this forever and it has finally come, what a mournful situation. The Great Demon King, bear the pain and look at the positive side, I’ll introduce you to a game called Tetris. (laughing emoji)”
…
After reading the gamers’ replies, Hu He felt disheartened. He literally felt like crying.
Yet even tears couldn’t roll down in this darkness.
Nonetheless, jokes were just for humor. After playing around for a while, the gamers started to form a team and were ready to save the Great Demon King.
Although the Great Demon King had done a lot of wrongdoings in the past, now he had made an all-out effort for all the gamers in the Land of Cangxu.
Everyone had seen his hard work with their own eyes. So, with the jokes aside, they came together as one and headed toward the original palace to rescue him.
Watching his brothers on their way to save him, Hu He finally regained his spirits.
Oh yes! I could go to the forum and give feedback about the bug to the officials, let them handle it! A sudden self-rescue thought sparked in Hu He’s mind.
Having that in mind, Hu He tried to open the forum.
Fortunately, he was still able to summon the game’s interface no matter the circumstances he was under. This made Hu He feel so much relieved.
After that, Hu He logged into the forum and prepared to post a cry for help. He would then let other gamers help to stick the post on top of the forum.
Given the past, Hu He was dead sure that the gamers would try their best to overwrite his post. After all, it was the gamers’ dream for his account to get banned.
Things had changed now, though. He was their life savior, the European server players’ last ray of hope.
Just when Hu He was ready to hit the send button after typing the title and content of the post, he saw a beam of light above him. Following that, an unknown force pulled him upward.
“Hahaha, a thousand years have passed. How was it, were you afraid?”
Hu He was rendered speechless.
Looking at the arrogant Fenshui, Hu He glanced at the time on the lower-left corner of the interface. He was overwhelmed when he realized, Only an hour had passed, right?
…
All along, Lu Wu had been watching over Hu He’s encounter.
However, he had the least worry about Hu He being sealed.
After Hu He was sealed, he went to Cangxu personally and asked about it. The Infinite Darkness that he had made was actually not something as terrifying as time control.
Creating a seal that was able to control the flow of time was never within his powers. In fact, the time inside the Infinite Darkness was just the same as that on the outside.
The only difference was that within the seal, the soul’s senses would be confused by Cangxu’s ritual, causing the prisoner to lose track of time. An hour inside the Infinite Darkness was equal to a thousand years in the outer world.
All in all, even the Underworld God could hardly master the Supreme Law of Time, which was the power to change the time in two different regions. How could he, a mere existence of the Ghost Emperor Realm, ever manage to acquire the skill?
So, Lu Wu was not a bit worried about something going wrong with Hu He when he knew the truth.
Besides, Hu He’s soul was protected by the artifact.
Puzzling the souls in their sense of time would have worked on others, but as a gamer, it would never work on Hu He.
Moreover, even if Hu He were to be really sealed for a thousand years, Lu Wu was still able to summon him back into the artifact. Hu He didn’t even have to break a sweat about it.
Of course, Hu He himself was not aware of it. Therefore, he had given himself some unnecessary heebie-jeebies.
…
“As expected, you were terrified. Fellow, weren’t you unafraid of death back then? How do you feel right now? Speak up!” Fenshui the Ghost King smiled threateningly as he eyed the dazed Hu He.
Hu He was at a loss for words.
“Actually… it was quite okay!”
Land of Cangxu, His Excellency’s Palace.
A large shadow glided toward the zone from afar at a fast pace.
