Hell Emperor.

Chapter 668 The Red Veil - Mystery

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. They were complete strangers to the Ganges Goddess, and if they rashly went to her for help, they would most likely be refused. If they could help the Ganges Goddess resolve her troubles beforehand, it would make things much easier for her later.

Upon hearing Li Feie's question about this, the Snow Mountain Goddess sighed deeply and finally revealed the matter that had been troubling her:
“You do not understand. All the races and beings of this continent, and the brilliant civilizations built upon them, originate from the ever-flowing Ganges River. According to the customs of this continent, my sister, the Ganges Goddess, was to become the wife of the king who conquered this continent, thus symbolizing the Ganges' enduring existence. However, not long ago, her fiancé met with a tragic end, murdered by unknown individuals, which has caused her immense grief.”

Li Feie nodded vigorously, and after understanding the information, she immediately spoke:
"In that case, let us avenge her! We don't know what kind of demon could have killed the Ganges Goddess's fiancé. Quickly tell us the news!"

The Snow Mountain Goddess shook her head: "Those people are not bound by cause and effect; they are true demons. Even the Ganges Goddess could not foresee her fiancé's death... However, with your power, perhaps you really have a chance."

After a pause, the Snow Mountain Goddess spoke, "I don't know the whereabouts of those demons; you'll have to find out for yourselves. I can only tell you the location where her fiancé was murdered. You'll have to find out the specific details yourself. Her fiancé was once the most powerful king in this continent, named Yan Gaozhen, known as Emperor Yan. You'll learn about his deeds if you go to the nearby towns."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Jie couldn't help but twitch his lips. Others might not know the name of the Yama Emperor, but how could he not? The so-called Yama Emperor was none other than the original owner of the Book of Life and Death. And the one who killed the Yama Emperor was none other than Ye Jie.

To Ye Jie's surprise, the target of his revenge was himself. What should he do now?
Li Fei'e frowned slightly, looking somewhat suspicious: "Wait a minute, the King of Hell? Haven't I heard of him...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Jie quickly reached out and covered her mouth, ignoring her feigned reproachful look.

Just kidding. If the Goddess of the Ganges found out that Ye Jie killed her fiancé, she would be lucky if she didn't turn on him on the spot. How could she possibly ask her for help?

"Instead of helping the King of Hell avenge himself, let us know the location of the Goddess of the Ganges first, so that we know where to find her after we've taken our revenge," Ye Jie asked slowly.

The Snow Mountain Goddess shook her head and said, "As far as I know, she has gone into hiding and refuses to meet with anyone. Even if the gods of the Heavenly Court come to find her, they can only return empty-handed."

Yunxiu immediately became anxious: "But didn't you tell us to go find her? If we don't even know her location, where are we supposed to look?"

The Snow Mountain Goddess swept her gaze over the crowd before finally speaking: "Ordinary people cannot find the location of the Ganges Goddess, but I am different. As long as I reach the places she has been, I can sense her traces. I will go with you."

Everyone understood, but they couldn't reach a consensus on whether she was trustworthy, so they asked her to wait where she was and then discussed it amongst themselves.

"Do you believe what she said? About everything concerning the Holy Truth of Cause and Effect?" Su Miao asked the others, slightly puzzled.

Yao Bai pursed his lips, his face full of disbelief: "Have you forgotten? Not long ago, she was our enemy. What a coincidence! Maybe she's planning to lead us into an ambush, then we'll be in real danger!" Yun Xiu pursed her lips tightly, a lingering sadness in her eyes: "But... this is indeed the only way. If we want future generations not to be distorted beyond recognition because of our actions, we must get the help of the Ganges Goddess. What are we supposed to do if we don't trust her?"

Li Feie had a bit of a headache, but she still made a judgment: "It wouldn't hurt to listen to what she has to say. Anyway, with her current strength, she's no match for us. Even if it's a trap, we can eliminate her later. What if what she says is true?"

With everyone offering their opinions, unable to reach a consensus, they had no choice but to turn their attention to Ye Jie, wanting to hear his thoughts.

Ye Jie remained silent for a long time, but did not talk about the Snow Mountain Goddess. Instead, he mentioned another person:
"Wait a minute, if the Yama Emperor is the future Underworld Emperor, then wouldn't his fiancée, the Goddess of the Ganges, be the other person in the legend?"

Everyone was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized that they had received a lot of help from that person in their later years.

Nan Linghe covered his mouth and exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be... that the Goddess of the Ganges is the one with the red veil? But how could that be..."

Ye Jie wasn't sure either: "This is just a speculation. The woman in the red veil is the fiancée of the Underworld Emperor. The only one who fits this description is the Goddess of the Ganges. In addition, the woman in the red veil has great magical powers. Even I, who has reached the Great Dao, couldn't see the power she used back then. Her strength must be extraordinary. The only one who fits this description is the Goddess of the Ganges."

Although they had never met the Goddess of the Ganges, the thought of the terrifying power of the Holy Truth of Cause and Effect, as well as the power emanating from the red veil, filled everyone with a sense of awe. It would be a lie to say that they were not worried at the thought of meeting such a being.

Su Miao glared at Ye Jie: "You'd better pray that the Goddess of the Ganges won't pursue the matter of you killing the Yama Emperor. If things are exposed, she definitely won't help us."

Ye Jie shrugged helplessly. Who knew things would turn out so coincidentally that the Yama Emperor was actually the Ganges Goddess's fiancé.

After some discussion, the group finally agreed to meet with the Ganges Goddess and try to get her help.

Just as everyone was discussing, the Snow Mountain Goddess brought Ye Jie some good news: "I have found the person you are looking for."

Ye Jie's heart skipped a beat. He had come to this sacred mountain specifically to find Kanishka and the Ksitigarbha Temple so that he could find a way to return to his original era. Little did he expect that after arriving here, he would find that things were not so simple. Having a method was not enough; he had to ensure that the cause and effect of future generations would not be confused.

However, finding the Ksitigarbha Palace was naturally good news for Ye Jie. To safely return to the original era, two conditions were indispensable. The absence of either one would cause completely unknown changes to the entire world, which was something Ye Jie was unwilling to see.

Soon, led by the Snow Mountain Goddess, Ye Jie also saw the people imprisoned here, and their terrified and distraught expressions immediately caught Ye Jie's attention.
