The Sullegar Kingdom is the smallest kingdom among all other kingdoms present on the continent.
So far, the population is only around 12 or 1300 people including soldiers on the border wall.
Thus, the administration required to run everything is small and requires a low amount of people, this means that Chiyou can leave the kingdom for sometimes if he wants to
But that doesn't mean that he should, after all, he hasn't forgotten that his kingdom is between the Sun Kingdom and a little bit inside the Xiong Kingdom
Also, his kingdom has no army, meaning that if the war happens in his absence, his kingdom is doomed for sure.
After thinking about these all things, Chiyou told the demon general Hao Kang to give him a week's time for preparation and he agreed.
Chiyou, first of all, send a letter to Sun Mo and told him that he will be visiting the underworld as he is invited by them, he also requested him to take care of his kingdom in his absence.
No doubt, when Sun Mo heard about visiting the underworld, he thought of leaving with him or why the demons want him but Chiyou has no answer to any of his questions.
Thus after a few exchanges of letters, Sun Mo only requested him to come back.
In his letter, he wrote "If only i was not given work by my father i would have been there.
Also, demons are dangerous kinds, even if they act all friendly, don't fall into their trap.
I really want to stop you from going there but maybe it could be helpful for the future so, I can't say no.
Just make sure to come back,
I will be waiting for you."
Fang Huizhong also requested to travel with him, but Chiyou straight said no as it was too dangerous but still, he kept on begging every single second to him.
Thus, he finally gave up and decided to take him along with him.
. . .
The day is here, Demon General Hao Kang is here and the officials from the Sun Kingdom are also here as they will be managing his kingdom.
Right now, inside Chiyou's bedroom-
"I hope we can leave today your highness" Hao Kang asked Chiyou with his respectful voice.
"Yes, I am ready to leave with you.
Also, how long am i going to be there?" Chiyou asked as he should no proper time limit he will be staying in the underworld.
Hao Kang smiled, he said "You are free to stay as long as you won't your highness, after all, you are our special guest and the first person ever among mortals that will be putting his step in our world.
So, as long as you want, you can stay with us"
Chiyou nodded
Hao Kang looked at the person standing behind Chiyou, he asked "Your highness, i apologize for asking this but may i know who he is and why he is here?"
Before Chiyou could say, Fang Huizhong gave a bow of respect and said "My Name is Fang Huizhong, his highness servant.
And i will be following his highness in this journey, I hope i won't be a nuisance"
Hao Kang looked at Chiyou and Chiyou nodded
"Its a pleasure to meet you Fang Huizhong, don't worry, i consider you no nuisance and you are free to come as his highness servant
Now then, let's leave"
Hao Kang told them to put their hands on him and as he will be activating a spell that will take them to the underworld.
Both of them did what they were told and in the next moment, they all disappeared in a black fog
. . .
Underworld-
Just like heaven, where gods live, in the underworld, demons live and it is different from hell where all souls of mortals go to receive punishment.
Hell is a part of heaven and is governed by gods, whereas the underworld is a place where demons live under the three Demon Emperor's order.
Right now, near a sea-
*whoosh*
from the black smog, three people came out and they are none other than Chiyou, Fang Huizhong, and their guide, Hao Kang.
"The island that you are seeing in front is the place where all demons live in peace, i can't take you there directly thus we came here.
Now, let's cross the river with a boat"
Hao Kang started walking towards the wooden platform above the black sea.
Chiyou and Fang Huizhong followed him and came near a boat
"He will help us cross the sea" Hao Kang said and then he told them to sit on the boat.
All three are now on the boat and the boatsman is riding the boat.
Fang Huizhong looked at the black sea above which the boat is traveling, but as he looked at the sea more deeply, he found various dead bodies and also souls in it
One soul even tried to attack him and he got scared
"This is the sea of souls, every soul here belongs to dead people.
Some are evil and some are pure"
Hearing this, Chiyou also looked at the sea but he couldn't see anything but still, he could sense some very evil and also pure energy from the sea.
Fang Huizhong asked, "Why are these souls here, won't they go to the cycle of rebirth?"
"The reason is simple, they don't deserve to be in the cycle of rebirth"
"Then what about those pure souls?" Chiyou asked
"It's simple, they are here because of mistake" Hao Kang answered
"What? Do gods even make mistakes?" Fang Huizhong asked
"yes, they make and they always make mistakes"
Chiyou asked "Will they remain here?" pointing at pure souls that are bright in this sea
"yes, they will remain here till and turn evil, after all how long one can survive all alone in this vast sea.
But it's a different story if someone, gods or a demon, took pity on them and try to take them out"
At Hao Kangs word, Chiyou asked "Is it hard to take them out?"
"Yes, it's next to impossible for even Demon Emperors or gods"
