Chapter 47: Information on the Grass‑Ash Snake Line

In the original work, the most featured Hell consists of two seas and five continents, exactly one for each of the seven Hell deities.

The Underworld, however, has only one continent and one sea, roughly equal in area; the Death Overlord governs the Ghostly Dark Continent, while the other six deities govern the Undersea.

The Undersea is divided into six regions, corresponding to the six deities, and now he only needs to find which region lacks a deity.

Hundreds of years later, outside Night Cloud Mansion in the Youluo Domain of the Undersea, Shawn locked onto a seven‑star demon and, before it could react, directly soul‑seeded it.

The soul‑seeded person shivered, then turned to Shawn, bowed, and said, "I have seen you, sir."

"Let's go together," Shawn said casually, then asked via voice transmission, "Ao Erjia, you are a trusted aide of the Night Cloud Mansion's master; do you know any news about master Wa Xi Li Si?"

Now in the Underworld, my own great perfection shines so brightly that I can conceal my appearance and soul aura to deceive all god‑level beings, but I cannot fool a Lord God; perhaps some bored Lord God is already watching me.

He is currently investigating a deity who is already dead, so he must be extremely cautious; if a Lord God discovers him, even though the Death Overlord might spare him, his subsequent actions will become fraught with countless difficulties.

Moreover, if that deity reports to the Death Overlord, the Overlord will surely take interest in his deeds, so he must remain cautious; even after soul‑seeding, he will communicate via voice transmission and will not allow the soul‑seeded person to address him as "Lord Master."

Ao Erjia replied via voice transmission: "Your Excellency, I don't know either; the mansion master is often absent from the mansion city, and I have no idea where he has gone."

"Alright." Shawn thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you know how often your master goes to see a Lord God?"

"See a Lord God?" Ao Erjia hurriedly replied, "I'm not sure; the master never tells me where he goes, but he has a son on the nearby Blue Micro Island; perhaps his son knows something."

"Good, lead the way," Shawn replied.

As long as one is outside the city, no one can escape the fate of being soul‑seeded; this death‑rule makes gathering information much easier, otherwise other laws would be blind.

A few days later, the two arrived on Blue Micro Island, and Shawn successfully soul‑seeded a group of people nearby;

"Your father hasn't visited a Lord God for many years?" Shawn asked via voice transmission.

Ni Ke Si replied via voice transmission: "Yes, it's been a long time. It is said that the deity governing the Youluo Domain disappeared, and later another deity occasionally grants the Youluo Domain deity some divine power as a reward to the mansion master."

"Alright, I understand, you may withdraw," Shawn waved his hand, and everyone left;

Shawn thought to himself, realizing that he had essentially uncovered the disappearance of the Youluo Domain's deity.

But how to investigate the material plane of its origin?

Moreover, the name of this material plane keeps changing; even if one finds a name, it is hard to know its current designation. According to the original work, the Jade Orchid Plane had a name before Beirut, later changed to the Qingya Plane, and within less than a hundred million years it changed three times; the same applies to other planes.

After pondering the issue, Shawn flew straight to the Undersea teleportation array; this time there was no soul‑seeding, but he found a person for an open‑handed exchange;

After all, they are followers of a Lord God; there is no need to soul‑seed each of them, or else later handling would be difficult.

"So every plane has its own number, a fixed identifier that never changes."

After some questioning, the person in charge here, a seven‑star demon An De Lie, disclosed some secrets to him.

An De Lie bowed and said, "Yes, Mr. Han Li, whenever we teleport personnel to a material plane, we need not only the name but also the plane's number to effect the transfer;

Many plane names change continuously; as long as the name used in a given period is unique, it suffices. Though few planes rename, over countless billions of years many have changed names, hence the need for numbers."

Mr. Han Li was someone Shawn met by chance a few days earlier; he was extremely powerful, defeating Shawn with a single move, but perhaps out of respect for Shawn's status as a member of the Lord God's army, he did not kill him, instead granting him a large fortune, asking only that Shawn answer some of his questions.

Shawn gladly accepted, as it not only earned him a huge sum but also allowed him to befriend a peak‑level strongman.

Shawn asked again, "If I know the name of a material plane from countless billions of years ago but not its number, can it be found?"

An De Lie replied, "That would be somewhat difficult. If you know the era when the name corresponded, you can roughly pinpoint some planes and then eliminate them, but that requires a huge expense to travel to each one individually; you know how costly traveling to material planes is, sir."

If you lack the specific time, then any material‑plane name becomes extremely hard to match to the correct plane."

Shawn nodded, "Alright, I understand. This ring contains 10 billion under‑stones; when I have other questions later, I'll come find you again."

Having said that, Shawn tossed the spatial ring he held toward him.

"Thank you, Mr. Han Li." An De Lie took the ring, about to say something else, when he realized that Mr. Han Li was no longer there.

At that moment, his whole body went cold—what kind of power is that? To vanish or appear before a single seven‑star demon without being detected?

"We still lack core information: what that plane was once called, even if we don't know the time, that will do."

On the summit of an island thousands of miles away from the teleportation array, Shawn sat above, pondering the question;

If a Lord God wanted such information, a single command could mobilize countless god‑level beings to investigate, even using divine perception to scan innumerable material planes; quantity and time are no obstacle for a Lord God.

But the Great Perfection, even as an emperor among gods, lacks that authority and power;

Of course, if there truly is something that can be openly told to the Death Overlord and requires this, just say it outright; a favor in exchange will certainly be accepted by the Overlord, after all even a Lord God's soldier would break a leg for it, though it might also reveal one's purpose to the other party;

After thinking for a long time with no clue, Shawn glanced toward the Ghostly Dark Mountain, then rose and flew away;

Putting other matters aside, he had previously promised the Death Overlord to go to the Ghostly Dark Mountain;

If he didn't go, and the Death Overlord wanted to see what he was doing, he might notice his current odd behavior, so it's better to fulfill this request first.
