The Pinnacle of Life novel Chapter 2530

When Shelly saw him reacting vigorously while searching the woman’s soul, she could not help but feel overwrought. “What’s wrong? What did you see?” she asked.

Alex slowly let his hand go.

Meanwhile, that woman was already in a muddled state after her main soul had received severe damage. The old iron chain of Persephone’s Folly Bridge didn’t intend to let her go and soon dragged her under the bridge.

Over there, the River Styx was surging.

Her soul immediately sank into the water without even having time to bubble on it.

Alex looked at Shelly. “The Pool of Afterlife. We can truly return to the mortal realm and reshape our flesh and blood vessels only if we enter the Pool of the Afterlife. And, this place is known as the Underworld.”

Shelly froze for a brief moment. “I think I’ve heard of it somewhere…”

Alex said, “There’s another important point. Each person who enters this place will be given a hundred years. They have to be reborn within that time, and those who fail can only wait to perish or borrow stuff to stay behind or snatch away someone else’s qualification before rebirth, just like that woman earlier. Moreover, this place doesn’t belong to a realm on Earth. Many still come in and consider this a place for trials.”

Shelly walked down Persephone’s Folly Bridge. Her beautiful eyes gleamed. If it weren’t for her short figure, she would’ve surely been devastatingly beautiful. He wondered who she must’ve been in her previous life.

“I remembered something about the legend of the Underworld…”

“Do you really know about that?” Alex approached with great interest.

Shelly said, “I’ve only heard about it, and I can’t guarantee if it’s true.”

Alex said, “Go ahead.”

Shelly nodded. “Rumor has it that there used to be an intermediate station on the way to River Styx called the Underworld. A magistrate once enforced the laws here, but he later strayed into the demonic path, refined the entire Underworld into a demonic realm, and separated it from River Styx to jump out of the three realms. However, Dairaionji Temple suppressed him in the end… The Pool of Afterlife is indeed in the Underworld, but rumors were that it was the place the magistrate had demonized. So, I guess it won’t be easy.”

“A hundred years. The pool of Afterlife…” Alex frowned, but he soon calmed down.

He came here with a purpose to enter Dairaionji Temple and help his father resist the Soul Planting. Hence, he had to enter the Pool of Afterlife within a hundred years at all costs.

Alex exited the mind palace.

Shirley was shouting his name.

“It’s very simple. Your mother was sleeping…”

“And?”

“You wet your pants.”

“Huh..?”

Shirley felt an impulse to smack him. “Impossible. I felt something thanks to that woman’s soul possession. I believe I saw blood, a lot of blood…”

“That’s normal, isn’t it?” Your mother should endure those few days every month.”

“Alex Rockefeller! I’ll treat you as a friend from now on! Don’t you let me down!”

When Alex thought of that desperate and helpless little girl in her latent memory, it was still unbearable to him. “It was really nothing. I didn’t pay attention to it at that time either. I was busy looking for that humanoid demon…”
