50,000 years ago, Hell was destroyed because of too much Foul from the resentment of the souls that later turned to Soul Eaters and devoured everything in their wake, leaving nothing of Hell.

"So, it has only been six months that passed since I died in this world?" Huo Ling asked Mo Shi as they watch the giant television on top of the building play an advertisement.

Huo Ling looked at him. "Your superior really permitted you to accompany me?" he asked, referring to Jin Wu.
Mo Shi nodded. "Senior Yi asked me from him, telling him that I will help you by assisting you in your task. This is also for me to gain an experience." He explained.
Huo Ling nodded in understanding. "But, you really… were imprisoned by your family when you were alive?" he asked as he looked at Mo Shi with a complicated gaze.
But, Mo Shi didn't look sad. "En. I was really naïve back then and they told me that I am sick, so I had to stay at home and not leave or else something bad will happen to me." He answered. "They also had me sign some papers. Before I knew it, I already died in my room." He shrugged.
