My sister is Luna

The firelight ignited, casting a ghostly crimson glow over the empty underground mine. The stench of blood filled the air, shielding it from the cold wind and inexplicably bringing a touch of warmth. Scattered dust and bones lay scattered everywhere, silently recounting the past.

Cain sensed a subtle malice, a malice hidden behind a thick wall, which remained unfathomable afterward.

The somber, bloody scene churned in Sun Wukong's mind, countless memories flashing by. That dark time was deeply imprinted on his mind, and he felt it deeply. Anger burned in his heart, with nowhere to vent it, and he was filled with bitterness.

"I had heard that the Monkey King rebelled because of slaves, but I never imagined the scene would be so tragic," Li Bai said heavily.

Without seeing these ancient ruins with my own eyes, who could imagine that they were once stained with the blood of countless people?

The underground area was much larger than the surface area, with ten floors in total, each floor more expansive than the last. Rusty furnaces and messy iron tools created a monotonous and repetitive landscape.

The group groped their way down to the tenth basement level.

"Click——"

Suddenly, cracks appeared underground, like a giant eye opening, and Cain and the others entered a new world. The cracks then closed up again.

The ground was turned upside down into the sky, and the explorers became falling debris, rushing towards the crimson earth.

"Aaaaah—!" Sun Wukong screamed. The group plummeted from the sky at breakneck speed, seemingly about to be smashed into mincemeat.

Cain drew the sword between his eyebrows, and the Vermilion Bird's spirit flew out from it. It spread its huge wings, and the group landed on its back.

The Vermilion Bird carried everyone and landed smoothly on the ground.

Red and blue intertwine, burning flames distort space, rolling heat waves sweep in, mixed with howls and roars, this is truly hell, the Tower of the Sun is directly connected to this hell.

At the same time, Cain sensed that the malice was more obvious and more targeted than before in Hell.

"You lied to me. For a moment, I even believed you," Cain said self-deprecatingly.

"Kain?" The others didn't know why Kain was talking to thin air.

"It's too late to understand now." A giant purple blade of light swept across the crowd, aiming to annihilate them in one strike.

"Roar—" The white tiger appeared, its eyes flashing with ferocity, and it bit the blade to pieces.

But this was not the visitor's purpose. While resisting, he used the terrain to capture Sun Wukong and quickly fled.

“Kain…” Mulan looked at Kain. She sensed a familiar feeling here, as if she had fought with him before.

"Hell, that Dark Tyrant came from here. They hate gods and are extremely corrosive. Let's follow them." Cain led the group and ran in the direction the enemy had fled.

He shared more information during the pursuit.

This time, the Eye of Hell attacked in its true form, possessing the power of a demigod. It threw Sun Wukong to the ground, where a fiery altar stood before him.

"What are you going to do!" Sun Wukong bared his teeth.

"So similar, my hero." Hell's Eye looked closely at Sun Wukong.

"Who is your hero? Who are you? What do you want with me here?!"

"Little monkey, let me introduce you. This is Sun Wukong." The Eye of Hell pointed to the figure burning with flames on the altar.

Chains bound his body, and raging flames burned him relentlessly. His angry face, gazing at the sky, could not conceal the familiar features—it was the face of Sun Wukong, and also the face of hellfire.

His flame was deeper and angrier than any other fire, as if it were sustaining the world.

Sun Wukong stared at him, stunned as if struck by lightning, his mind blank, feeling a sense of absurdity, a sense of weightlessness as if he had lost himself.

"If he's Sun Wukong, then who am I?"

The monkey muttered to himself, having become a mere spectator of memories. All the memories were irrelevant to him; he was simply a monkey whose memories had been implanted with Sun Wukong's.

Memories and soul do not belong to him; he is merely a wild monkey, a vessel.

"Am I a six-eared macaque?" The monkey fell into self-doubt.

"Sigh... What am I doing... Sun Wukong, live on and show them the dead end of racism. The universe is not a large human society, not a life-or-death struggle of imagination. Humans are neither the masters of the planet nor the masters of the universe. Human civilization must accept its insignificance, adapt to the universe, and then transform it, instead of being stagnant and complacent. Arrogance is the reason that hinders the development of civilization..."

Deep in my memory, a figure stands in front of a monkey, and I try to reach out but can't touch it no matter what I do.

"Eat it, and you will be the real Sun Wukong." The Eye of Hell brought the monkey to the front of the hellfire.

The angry faces seemed to infect the monkeys as well, turning them ferocious and baring their wild teeth.

"Eye of Hell!" A roar jolted the monkey awake.

The flying blades deflected the Eye of Hell's hand. Cain, carrying the Five Sacred Beasts, charged straight at the Eye of Hell, while Mulan, Li Bai, and Cheng Yaojin took the monkey aside.

Although they also wanted to help, this battle between demigods destined them to be nothing more than spectators and prayers.

"You've become stronger, God's pet," the Eye of Hell mocked.

"You can even mock my empty emotions?"

"How...how did you know?" Hell's Eye's expression hardened.

The moment Cain saw the Hellfire, he understood the root of this malice: the real Sun Wukong was dead, and what remained was merely pure hatred and anger parasitizing within his empty shell. The entire Hell was a product of this negative emotion.

The failure of the demonic rebellion was both an end and a beginning; the anger has burned ever since, to the point that distortion has occurred.

"Do you believe me if I feel it with my heart?" Cain said bluffingly.

"Heart? Hahahaha, heart, with heart, hahahaha..." The Eye of Hell laughed as if it had heard the biggest joke in the world.

He suddenly calmed down, the earth trembled, and countless hellish creatures emerged, surrounding Mulan and her companions.

They fought desperately, and the hellish creatures seized an opening, snatched the monkey, and brought it before the hellfire.

This is the domain of hell, where countless corpses are buried with hatred.

"This is our land! You invaders, do you even understand me? Why are you stopping me? Do we want to be slaves? Do we want to be trampled on? Do we want to be like this? All of this is the work of those damned gods! We must take revenge! It's just! It's reasonable! You accomplices of the gods, are you going to stop us too?!"

Countless shouts surged forth, the black sea of ​​demons filled with grief and indignation.

“Yes, that’s reasonable, it’s the right of the heroes of the uprising, not yours! You demon.” Cain had seen through the Eye of Hell’s sophistry.

"Eat it, become the real Sun Wukong, and avenge us!" Hell's Eye said to the monkey as he swung his sword at Cain.

The memory of being enslaved resurfaced in the monkey's mind, so disgusting and infuriating that he wanted to swing his sword at God, eat hellfire, and defeat God. Death was better than being a damn slave.

But the Eye of Hell's words left him somewhat puzzled. All the gods were dead, so who should he seek revenge against? The gods who were already dead? Or the world where gods once existed?

“Sun Wukong, they are just a group of malicious people. Don’t let them affect you. They are parasitic on the bodies of former heroes, using their skins to express their own thoughts and destroy everything without any purpose.” Cain would not let the Eye of Hell succeed, and shouted.

Several hellish creatures grabbed the hesitant monkey, trying to force it to eat him, but the monkey kept resisting.

A prolonged stalemate is not a solution. Cain resists the Eye of Hell and keeps thinking of a countermeasure.

Hatred is not without cause; it has an object. There is no eternal happiness, nor is there eternal hatred. When there is no object to hate, hatred is like a rootless duckweed, which will be scattered by the wind and disappear with time.

Without this hatred, what would be the basis for hell's existence? Yet it is here now, which means it still has an object of hatred. Few gods remain after their deaths, so their hatred for uncertain things should also be uncertain and doubtful. But hell is different; at least it hates the gods before it, the gods nearby, or things of gods.

Hell once loathed God's miracles and wanted to destroy them at all costs, but the true location of Hell is here, in...

"So what? Sun Wukong, you are a demon seed. They are humans. They may be able to become your friends, but what about the gods? They are still here. As long as they are here, you will one day become a slave again. Your compatriots, the so-called demon seeds of the gods, will all become slaves. Only by eating them will you have the power to lead them to continue their rebellion!"

These words from the Eye of Hell tipped Sun Wukong's scales; no one wanted to become a slave.

"Sun Wukong, look at your head. You hate the gods but don't destroy the tower that best symbolizes your suffering and weighs you down. This is enough to prove that they are just negative parasites on the body of a hero, abandoned in a corner by this planet, malice that survives on anger, a deformity that hates for the sake of hating. The power that hell gives you is only hatred and destruction, and the power it gives to the demon seed is only hatred and destruction, leaving only a mess. Do you want to lead the demon seed, which has finally gained freedom, to destruction or rebirth?"

Cain instantly understood and told Sun Wukong the true nature of hell.

Sun Wukong suddenly understood his earlier doubts. The hatred in hell only brings hatred, plunging the entire world into hatred and ultimately destroying it in endless slaughter, from which no one can escape.

"You!!!" The Eye of Hell's eyes widened in fury, proving Cain's thinking was correct.

Cain rushed towards Sun Wukong, grabbed him, and flew into the sky.

"Watch closely, Sun Wukong. If you want to become a hero who leads the demons, the first step is to push down the mountain that's pressing down on you!"

The five sacred beasts are enveloped in dazzling five-colored light, like shooting stars flowing backwards. Hell is located beneath the Tower of the Sun, and the sky above Hell is the ground of the Tower of the Sun.

"No!!!" The Eye of Hell stretched out countless tentacles, trying to grab them, but they always managed to dodge, like a slippery eel.

Sure enough, upon reaching the sky, they felt a barrier. Cain, holding the monkey, charged forward with all his might.

The tentacles caught up, and the red and blue sky was sealed off. The sky cracked open, the sky collapsed, the earth split open, and the sky brightened.

"Boom——"

The five sacred beasts charged upwards with unparalleled power, breaking through the ground and the Tower of the Sun, sweeping away everything in their path like bamboo shoots snapping in two.

Amidst the wind and snow, the Tower of the Sun, which had stood for a thousand years, collapsed with a deafening roar, revealing a hellish crater beneath the earth.

The wind and snow swept in, and everything fell silent.
