Death or a wonderful death?

"What… what do you mean I enter or die?" Lin Hai said fearfully, then took a step back.

"As I have heard, if you choose to enter, then you will be a higher existence in the future, a true ruler of the heavens and the seven realms and there is a chance that you will be the ruler of the primal chaos itself, that is of course if you are qualified enough to do so, but you have to pass my test first, but if you choose Escape, your fate is death, that's all. Choose now," said the voice behind the fortress.

"Ruler? The Seven Realms? Primal Chaos? What the hell are you saying, isn't there only one realm and it's the 'Demon Underworld' we live in!!!!!

"Your knowledge is limited, boy, but there is no shame in that, you are still very young, anyway you are not at the required level to know the answer, all you have to do now is choose between death and a wonderful death hahahahaha" The voice laughed strangely.

"Death or a wonderful death? What's the difference if I die either way?" Lin Hai said with bewilderment and frowned.

"Yes, there is a big difference between them, a difference like the difference between heaven and earth, just know that if you choose death, you will die, but if you choose a wonderful death, you will die, but you will not die either, hahahahaha."

Lin Hai stood there frozen in place and stunned by the words he heard, isn't death the same thing since when and there was death and a wonderful death, he didn't know how to express his opinion, he just looked at the direction of the voice and shock filled his face.

"Well, it looks like you want to die as much as you wish. I will grant your wish."

A faint, pitch-black aura leaked out from behind the fortress, a suffocating and sinister aura similar to that of a death god willing to reap the lives of millions, the aura wrapped around Lin Hai and suspended him in the air as if it were an invisible hand desiring to turn him into a bloody mist.

This sudden force awakened Lin Hai from his stupor, he struggled a lot to break free from this invisible hand but to no avail, it was like a two-year-old kid wanting to take candy from an adult man.

"It's time to die, little one. Damn yourself for being so stupid," the voice said coldly.

"Wait...wait, please wait. I choose a wonderful death. Please, sir, forgive me. I still want to live. I'm willing to do anything. Just spare my insignificant life." Lin Hai mustered a force from nothingness in order to speak and begged for his life.

"Oh, are you sure, you'll do anything?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I will do anything as long as you spare my life," Lin Hai said with tears on his face.

"Now this is a little interesting. What do you think of this? I will spare your life if you kill the dearest person in your life. Tell me," the voice said forcefully.

"The dearest person in my life?? I...you mean or should I kill my master!!" Lin Hai thought and then his mind stopped working.

"No… no, no way, no way I would do something heinous like this, my miserable life is nothing compared to my master's life, I'd rather die than betray him, just kill me!" Lin Hai shouted with all his might.

"Hmm, you are very loyal to your master huh, it doesn't matter, you will kill him sooner or later anyway," said the voice.

"What do you mean I'm going to kill my master, of course I won't, my master means everything to me, I can't live a life without my master in it," Lin Hai shouted again.

"Forget about it, since you decided to choose a cool death I'll spare you boy, also I'm taking back my previous words you're really smart hahahahaha come follow me inside"

The invisible hand that was holding Lin Hai disappeared into the air, then he fell to the ground, he was filled with sweat all over his body, this was only natural he almost died.

He got up and moved forward, his gait was unsteady, he almost fell again because his legs were still trembling with fear, he reached the entrance, then looked at the front, there was only complete darkness, he took a deep breath, then entered.

The moment he entered, the entrance door closed behind him leaving only emptiness and bones, Lin Hai continued walking with his heart pounding in fear of who knew what awaited him behind his decision.

After an unknown period of time, he reached the other side of the bone fortress, but the sun's rays obscured his vision. After he took a step forward, he opened his eyes again, and then in the next second his jaw dropped from the shock.

He thought that behind this stronghold would be a hell filled with all kinds of ghosts, monsters, and billions of bones, even if not this, at least it would be a dead, unlivable world.

But contrary to his expectations, in front of him was a new world, a green world full of life, inside were ancient trees towering towards the sky, chaos energy was abundantly filling the space, training here for one day was equivalent to training outside for thousands of years.

There were also mountains surrounded by rivers and roaring waterfalls all around, life was abundant here, when one entered this place one would think that it was in a dense ancient forest and not in the [Abyss of Bones] one of the seven forbidden zones.

Birds and beasts roamed among the tall trees, there was nothing that could not be found here, including trees and herbs that knew how to move around, and to be more precise, they were emperor grade medicines that possessed their own consciousness.

This was the best place for those who wanted to find some immortal pills and herbs, anyone who came here would become very excited because this world was like a large garden filled with exquisite medicinal herbs, there were even imperial herbs.

Every time the [Abyss of Bones] was mentioned, people would tremble with fear and quickly move away from anything that had anything to do with this area, simply because anyone who entered it would die. He had never heard of anyone entering the abyss and coming back alive.

But now who would have thought that the frightening abyss was actually a world full of life and chaos energy, Lin Hai was shocked by the sheer beauty of this amazing world, after a while he regained his stupor and decided to move.

Lin Hai walked forward, the shock still on his face, with every step he would find herbs better than the next, he could see from afar with greed filling his eyes but he held himself back from taking these herbs, who knows maybe he might die out of nowhere.

He kept walking for who knows how long until he finally reached a temple, it was a fairly simple temple that did not contain decorations or was made of rare and valuable metals, just a stone temple, millions of temples that resemble it can be found in the outside world.

But what distinguishes this temple from others is the presence of a unique aura around it, a deadly aura that prevents anyone from trespassing or entering the temple by force.

"You finally arrived, you damned brat, didn't I tell you to follow me, what were you doing?" A voice came from the temple.

Lin Hai trembled with fear as soon as he heard the voice, it was the same voice that was about to kill him.

"It doesn't matter if I enter, don't make me wait too long, or I will kill you by mistake," the voice said angrily.

"Uh… present." Lin Hai arranged his clothes and then entered the temple.
