MO Fan stood at the edge of the Galaxy of the Yin Energy God and stared at the terrifying sight before him. It was so similar to a blackhole that goosebumps broke out over his skin.

If he accidentally fell inside, who knew where this “ocean” would bring him. It was a pure fear of the unknown.

The twisted waterfall MO Fan previously saw was not actually made of water that fell from the sky. Instead, it fell out of a dimensional whirlpool. This whirlpool was like a whirlwind that continued spinning on the spot, and it was connected to the sky.

However, its conception was due to the suction force from the Galaxy of the Yin Energy God, which was right beneath the “ocean.” From where MO Fan stood, it looked like he was seeing a strange gravitational collapse in the “ocean” ahead. The dark “seawater” collapsed inward to form a huge waterfall in the underworld, and the waterfall fell into the bottomless ocean to form a beautiful yet terrifying galaxy.

That was the Galaxy of the Yin Energy God.

Honestly, MO Fan wanted to bypass the area. This place was one of those places where just one glance would entice you. No matter how far away you were, you would never be safe from it.

It was no different from a large, majestic volcano. If you went to the edge of a volcano, you would feel terrified and anxious. You never know when the volcano would erupt and drag you into its destruction.

MO Fan cast a few glances at the place and saw dead bodies floating within the Galaxy of the Yin Energy God. Some of them were as big as mountains, and some appeared to be the skeletons of Darkness Creatures from ancient times. Others were Darkness Creatures that looked like they had been thrown into a

blender because they had traveled in a group when they were sucked in.

“We have to swim over,” Asha’ruiya said.

“Are you kidding me?!” MO Fan screeched.

“You’re actually scared?” Asha’ruiya chuckled.

“I’m not a good swimmer. The water here is just like the water in the Nether River and Nine Serenities. It gives me the creeps,” MO Fan said.

At his current level, his divine sense could predict dangers for him. This place could destroy his cognitive abilities, so it was best if he did not get closer.

“Do you still want to save Mu Bai?” Asha’ruiya asked.

“Honestly, he might be living a good life on the Dark Plane. He has those beautiful succubi serving him,” MO Fan answered.

“Just get on the boat!” Asha’ruiya did not give MO Fan the chance to continue wasting time with talking. She dragged him onto the copper wooden boat that was located on the ocean with strange currents.

As Asha’ruiya yanked him forward, MO Fan noticed that the boat was incredibly still as it floated on the water. It surprised him.

“How will you pay your fare?” Suddenly, a hoarse voice rang out behind them.

Mo Fan was startled. When he looked over, he noticed a boatman on the copper wooden boat. He was wearing the standard black robes of a Grim Reaper. He was holding a ferry pole in one hand and a copper lamp in the other. The dim light illuminated his entire body, but his face remained shrouded.

“He’s paying,” Asha’ruiya said as she pointed at MO Fan.

“I don’t have Nether Coins!” MO Fan exclaimed.

“You can pay with whatever you want. It can be something you treasure and value or something you hate and despise. So long as you say its name, you can use it as your boat fare,” the boatman said.

“I don’t like coriander. Can I offer you all the coriander in the world as payment?” Perhaps he had a screw loose in his head because MO Fan suddenly decided to crack a joke.

“Of course. Your boat fare is the coriander in the entire world.” The boatman nodded. While they were unable to see his face, they could tell that he was smiling in satisfaction.

That worked?!

MO Fan could not quite believe his ears.

Was the boatman carrying out some kind of unique law? Was he really going to take away all the coriander in the world? That disgusting thing he simply could not stomach but plenty of people praised to high heavens?

MO Fan did not know what to say, so he remained silent.

The boatman moved the ferry pole and slowly brought MO Fan, as well as Asha’ruiya, to the other side of the Galaxy of the Yin Energy God. While on the boat, they could not sense the terrifying nature of the “ocean” beneath them. Instead, they felt a sense of tranquility.

“What are you waiting for?” Asha’ruiya asked.

“I’m waiting for him to cast some great spell to make all the people in the world forget about coriander,” MO Fan said.

“Teehee!” Asha’ruiya giggled charmingly, and her cheeks turned red from laughing. It made her look incredibly beautiful. But she soon rolled her eyes at MO Fan and said, “Don’t worry. He only likes collecting people’s likes and dislikes.”

“What do you mean?” MO Fan could not understand.

“The boat fare is cheap. He only wants one of your secrets, like your preference in food, or something you like but can’t say. In short, he just wants information,” Asha’ruiya explained.

“Huh? It’s that simple?” MO Fan asked in astonishment.

“Yes and no. He’s carried countless people and gods across the ocean. One time, a Forbidden Curse God told him that he had fallen in love with another Forbidden Curse God’s wife. As this Forbidden Curse God’s status grew, more people on the Dark Plane started laughing at him,” Asha’ruiya said.

“So, he suffered a social death on the Dark Plane. Hang on a second. I’m going to become the eternal Evil Saint King! Doesn’t that mean everyone will laugh at me for not eating coriander in the future?!”

“You don’t eat coriander? That’s pretty cute. Hahahaha!” Asha’ruiya laughed so hard that she bent forward.

“Hey, wait. It’s not that I don’t eat coriander! I have another secret to tell you! I don’t eat beef!” MO Fan quickly told the boatman.

“And let me tell you something interesting. The Forbidden Curse God killed the other god’s wife in the end, and all the teasing finally came to a stop. But he also killed himself,” Asha’ruiya said.

“Um…” MO Fan did not know what to say.

What was this? The original sin?

His jealousy turned into an inner demon that led to a tragic end. What was even more terrifying was that the people no longer remembered the glorious things the Forbidden Curse God had done. They only remembered him loving another woman so much that he ended up hating her.

“Teehee! The fact that you don’t eat coriander is going to spread throughout the entire world. When you achieve sainthood and become a king, even if you don’t form any laws to ban coriander, people who want to butter you up will find a way to remove coriander from the shelves. But there are plenty of people who love coriander, so a coriander union is going to pop up to overturn you. That way, the world can once again be a place where coriander can be sold freely,” Asha’ruiya said with a smile.

To MO Fan, it sounded like something out of a fantasy.

However, gods who walked in darkness loved analyzing the dark sides and fears of people. Whenever people refused to face their dark sides and fears head on, they would usually sink further into them. In the end, these emotions would turn into inner demons that they could not get rid of anymore.

Fortunately, what food MO Fan disliked was not going to be a big issue.

He did not eat plenty of things, such as bitter gourds and beansprouts. But the road of cultivation was long. At the end of the day, he was going to be the man who refused to eat beef but still stood at the top of the world!

..Anyway, once they were at the center of it, the Galaxy of the Yin Energy God did not seem as scary. The boat must have some sort of unique spell because MO Fan could ignore the fact that he was in the midst of the unknown.

The surface was as still as water on a still lake, and it was no different from the thin layer of water at the shore. Asha’ruiya sat upright in the boat and looked quite charming.

If this water could reflect the naked body of a human, that would be great.

MO Fan stared at the water and suddenly saw a corpse float by.

The corpse had a flashy head of gold, and he resembled Zhao Manyan quite a bit. However, he was just floating around like a dead pig after a flood, and he was even a little bloated.

Just then, MO Fan thought of something.

He should turn the corpse onto his back.

He might actually be Zhao Manyan, after all.

“I must be sick in the head. Why would Zhao Manyan be here?” MO Fan shook his head and mocked himself.

Quite abruptly, he heard a yelp from the water.

MO Fan looked over and saw a tiny whale-like creature underneath the corpse. The whale was swimming over to MO Fan while dragging the corpse.

Also, did the whale not look kind of familiar?

It looked like Little Green Kraken, which Zhao Manyan took care of in Lan Yang City!

“Holy crap! Little Green Kraken? Why are you here?!” MO Fan finally recognized it.

“00!” Little Green Kraken was so excited that it flapped its tail.

“Why are you dragging a corpse? It’s not as if it’s Old Zhao…” MO Fan found the situation ridiculous, and he laughed.

However, as he laughed, something did not feel right. So, he quickly turned the corpse over.

…Goodness… It really was Zhao Manyan!

Why was he as swollen as the corpse of a drowning victim?!

“It’s Zhao Manyan?” Asha’ruiya was in disbelief as well.

“This place doesn’t cause hallucinations, does it?” MO Fan asked.

Asha’ruiya shook her head and said that the swollen person was indeed Zhao Manyan.

MO Fan hurriedly dragged the bloated body up and punched Zhao Manyan in the stomach.

“Urk!”

Zhao Manyan shot up and coughed up a large amount of water, just like how a whale would.

After that, his body started shrinking at a rapid pace. As he coughed up all the water from the Galaxy of the Yin Energy God, life started returning to his body.

When MO Fan saw that punching him worked, he started punching him repeatedly and managed to get all the water within Zhao Manyan out.

“I think you need to perform CPR on him,” Asha’ruiya said.

“It’s fine. I’ll punch him a few times, and he’ll be okay,” MO Fan said as his eyes shone with determination.

It was impossible for him to perform CPR on Zhao Manyan. If he really died like this, then so be it.

“Urk!”

Finally, Zhao Manyan coughed up another large gulp of black water.

After he regained consciousness, he opened his eyes slowly and saw MO Fan drawing his face closer.

“MO Fan?” Zhao Manyan was indeed as tenacious as a cockroach, and he recovered quickly as well. “Aren’t you in the Netherworld? Am I dead?” “Honestly, I don’t know what’s going on with you either.” MO Fan helped Zhao Manyan up.

“Um… I… went to an ocean region with Dean Xiao…” Zhao Manyan gave a brief recollection of what had happened to him when he was alive.

After MO Fan listened to him, he fell silent.

Asha’ruiya looked at the Galaxy of the Yin Energy God. Following a moment of hesitation, she said, “I’ve heard before that the Galaxy of the Yin Energy God is connected to the endless ocean depths. By the looks of it, it’s true!” “We’re on the Dark Plane?!” Zhao Manyan cried out in shock.

“Yes. I’m seriously speechless. Is the world that small? Asha and I were trying to get across the Galaxy of the Yin Energy God when we picked you up. You were half-dead.” MO Fan still felt as though this entire thing had jumped out of a.

“Oh, that’s right! Ding Yumian!” Zhao Manyan said when he suddenly remembered something.

“What about her?” MO Fan asked in confusion.

“You were right. Cold Moon Evil Eye is indeed in cahoots with some powerful figure on the Dark Plane. They’re trying to use Ding Yumian to accomplish something!”

“And the ocean has always been the largest source of life for the Dark Plane,” Asha’ruiya said.

MO Fan was stunned.

He knew that Dean Xiao had been looking into this. While Mo Fan headed to the Dark Plane, Dean Xiao cautioned him to keep a lookout on the connection between the creatures at the bottom of the ocean and the Dark Plane.

It appeared that Cold Moon Evil Eye had the support of a “Dark Tycoon.”

If Zhao Manyan checked the endless ocean depths with Dean Xiao, then it was no surprise that he ended up here.

“Your whale sure is special. I can’t believe it can swim freely in the Galaxy of the Yin Energy God,” Asha’ ruiya said.

“Oo!” Little Green Kraken immediately wagged its tail as if it could tell that it was being praised.

“Boat fare.” the black-robed boatman said.

Since an additional person had arrived, he had to collect that person’s boat fare.

“Dream on!” Mo Fan snorted. He led Zhao Manyan and Asha’ruiya to jump on the much larger and more comfortable Little Green Kraken’s back. Good riddance!

With his ridiculously slow speed, it would take them half a month before they reached the other side!

Yet, he wanted another secret from Mo Fan!

That was even more expensive than platinum!

Besides, this guy was clearly trying to breed an inner demon in Mo Fan.. He was definitely not as he seemed!
