Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

"Since someone insists, there is still hope." Peroz said seriously.

"That sounds like something someone who just arrived here would say."

“Full of vitality.”

"It's really true that you haven't experienced despair in your life..." Salieri didn't continue, but Peroz understood the meaning of his words.

He wanted to laugh at his own naivety and stupidity, or perhaps something more.

Peroz was not angry. She had not experienced what the other party had experienced, so she naturally had no right to stand on her high position and make sarcastic remarks.

But she didn't like such a desperate city, nor did she like the atmosphere that this city exuded.

So she wanted to try to break the dullness here.

She believes that there is no space in the world that is completely unbreakable.

Even though this is where the Kru exiled everything.

But before exiling his enemies, he knew that this place definitely did not belong to the Kru demigod - if he had such great power, he would not have been wiped out by so many people.

As a demigod who controls the power of doors, that being must have discovered this place through some clues.

That's why we have the ability to exile them here.

If we can find the history that once belonged to this place, then there is a great possibility of finding a way out.

"Mr. Salieri, are you one of the first few people to arrive here?" Peroz asked.

Salieri nodded. "I think I'm the one who has been here the longest in this city."

"Well, could you describe to me what you discovered when you first arrived here?"

"I think you can guess that this place is definitely not the masterpiece of that Kru demigod. He is only the discoverer, definitely not the creator."

"So, if we can find some clues about the creator, maybe we can find a way to leave."

Salieri glanced at Perozzi and then said softly, "No one who can find this place is mediocre."

"Anything you can think of, we can think of as well."

"But that's exactly why we're so desperate."

“Many symbols of the Earth Church were left here.”

"According to my speculation, this is most likely the Earth's inner-earth prison where the Church of the Earth imprisons criminals."

This is certainly not the prison at the center of the earth.

The Center of the Earth Prison is the manifestation of Mernadè's power. Although it exists in the center of the earth, the Center of the Earth Prison only truly exists when Mernadè's power exists.

This place is nothing more than a more desperate cage created by Charles based on the inspiration of the prison in the center of the earth, combining his own power and Peroz's discovery.

Once you enter here, don’t even think about becoming a demigod.

Even God has to be an ordinary person, and even the true God will be trapped for a period of time.

Without the power and permission of Ciel, the passage cannot be opened with the power of the Holy Gate.

"The Prison at the Center of the Earth... How is that possible? Didn't that place disappear with the disappearance of the Mother Earth?" Hogot asked in surprise as he stood up.

"This is the result of our discussion. There is a lot of evidence. If you have some free time, you can go to the deepest part of the tomb and see where there is a lot of evidence to prove this."

"Hopefully, after seeing that stuff, you'll find some evidence that will disprove our argument."

"At least this way, we won't be too desperate."

"After all, the Geocentric Prison once held a Sequence 1 True God. Since its construction, no one has been able to escape without the permission of the Mother Earth."

Peroz nodded, many thoughts flashing through his mind, "If this is the geocentric prison, we should have a greater chance of getting out."

"After all, I remember a book saying that the Geocentric Prison is not a completely sealed place, but rather has positions like jailers and warden chiefs."

"They can enter and exit the geocentric prison at will."

"Either they enter here with the goddess's special permission, relying on her power. Or they have some keys on them, keys that allow them to leave here at will."

Peroz's guess was reasonable...or rather, her words were not guesses, but the truth she knew from Charles.

At a certain period, Peroz didn't know why Charles seemed to be very interested in the Prison at the Center of the Earth. While telling her some things about the Prison at the Center of the Earth, he asked Peroz and the others whether they would accompany him if he was sent there as a guard after the Mother Earth came back.

Although she was not very interested in what was happening here, Peroz still remembered everything Charles had said to her.

However, she personally felt that this place was not the boring place that Charles described.

After all, according to Charles' description, there are no magical species like Green Wheat there. At the same time, although the underground prison prohibits extraordinary things, this prohibition is not a complete ban.

Rather, it is a prohibition based on judgments of good and evil.

In addition to those who deserve to be punished and are executed for their heinous crimes, many prisoners in the underground prison will have some of their power erased based on the sins they have committed and whether they have repented in their hearts.

Innocent and kind people who enter here without keys and permissions will be teleported out immediately.

Although Peroz does not consider himself innocent, the standard of crime is different in every region.

But she didn't believe that everyone here had committed the same crime and had all their power taken away.

Or, this is the prison at the center of the earth, but because of the disappearance of the Mother Earth, the rules here have changed.

Or, this is not the geocentric prison, but a place that is somewhat similar to the geocentric prison.

If possible, Peroz hopes it will be the former.

After all, because of Charles, she has some understanding of the geocentric prison.

Perhaps with this understanding, she can find a glimmer of hope here.

"Are you sure what's in the book is correct?" Salieri looked at Peroz with a mocking smile.

"I am the person closest to that era, and I am also considered a demigod of the church."

"But as far as I can remember, there's never been any mention of a key."

"In my time, even the high priest of the Church of the Earth had only a vague understanding of the Prison at the Center of the Earth."

"But I can confirm that there's no mention of a key in their language. What I can confirm is that this is a mysterious place that cannot be left without the owner's permission."

No matter how close you are to that era, it has been thousands or tens of thousands of years.

And I... am surrounded by people from that era. Peroz felt a little emotional.

"There's nothing wrong with giving it a try, right?" Peroz said seriously.

"Even if you don't have the key, it won't be much of a loss for you."

"But if those keys really do exist..."

Perozzi's words were tempting, but Salieri still showed no interest.

"Even if the key exists, we can't find it."

"You should know that generally the warden of the Geocentric Prison is a demigod, and during the Age of Atheism and the Dark Age, all the demigods of the church perished in the Overworld."

"In that era, the church was practically drained of all its power."

"Even if a key once existed here, it was lost in the main world by a demigod who went out to fight."

"Unless the key has the function of automatically returning to this world, even if it exists, it will be of no use to us."

At this point, Salieri sighed, "After I came here, I found that all the objects that had been here before were carefully observed."

"If the key is really in there, I will definitely find it."

"Assuming your guess is correct, there are two possibilities."

"One possibility is that the key was lost in an unknown corner of the main world."

"One possibility is that the key possesses the ability to return on its own. The key to leaving here is among our previous finds. It's just that we don't have the means to activate it."

"It doesn't matter to us either way. After all, we can't rely on the key in the first case, and the second case... In this world where extraordinary powers are sealed, it's almost impossible for us to meet the necessary conditions to activate the key without knowing the method."

Salieri carefully analyzed the situation and concluded that the possible outcomes of any assumptions based on Peroz's assumptions were negligible. In this situation, perhaps the other party could be mysteriously confident and see hope, but he saw no hope at all.

"But there is still a slight possibility, isn't it?" Peroz looked at Salieri seriously.

Salieri nodded, then slowly stood up and walked to the bedroom next to him. A moment later, he returned to the lobby. There was a bronze oil lamp in the book.

"It's a possibility, but I'm not interested in pursuing it."

"This is something from this world that I found when I came here. If you're interested, you can study it."

"There are many similar objects thrown into the tombs that everyone has prepared for themselves on Bishan Mountain. You can use your abilities to search for possible keys."

"If you're not afraid of danger, you can go outside and find people around my age to trade with. They probably have similar items."

While pointing the way for Perozzi, Salieri said thoughtfully, "I feel like you've adapted to the environment here." "If you live in idleness and without hope, you will soon degenerate into a walking corpse and lose your life."

“If you keep yourself busy, your life will be longer and more fulfilling than others.”

Chapter 359: Gap

Salieri is teasing Perozzi.

But Peroz didn't care.

Perhaps in his eyes, what she did was really useless. At least before she produced any concrete evidence, her actions could be said to be useless.

But Peroz is full of confidence in himself.

The person in front of me might be an antique-level figure.

Even in this lost city, there are many antique-level figures.

But when it comes to understanding the geocentric prison, Peroz dares to say that he knows the most.

After all, his partner at home was always nagging about joining the Prison at the Center of the Earth. As his partner, Peroz naturally knew a lot about what was going on there.

"Mr. Salieri, thank you for the information."

"I will find a way to bring you back to the main world." Peroz said seriously.

Salieri was amused by Perozzi's words.

"Then I'll wait and see."

Afterwards the three chatted about some other things—mostly Hogot and Salieri.

After noticing Salieri's attitude, Hogot still remained wary of Salieri.

But while being vigilant, it is also great to be able to get some valuable knowledge for free.

For Salieri, if it were in the main world, there were many things he would not tell Hogot.

But in Guixu, in the Lost City, many precious pieces of information are not so precious anymore.

Even in the library of the Lost City, there are many top-secret rituals that were once discovered and mastered by various schools.

Many of them are things that have been lost to the outside world.

But no matter how valuable this knowledge is, it is of no use if you cannot take it with you.

An hour later, Perozzi pulled the reluctant Hogot over the wall and left Salieri's house.

"Teacher, you were on guard against him before, but just now you two were getting along like old friends," Peroz teased.

"Just because we get along well doesn't mean I'll let my guard down."

"This guy does have a lot of knowledge that I long to know. It would be good to dig out more of it while he is kind to us." Hogot said happily.

"How treacherous~" Peroz complained.

"It's not treacherous. I just wanted to try to get something from him. Who knew he would be so generous?"

"This makes me even more suspicious of him." Hogott pulled his beard while thinking about everything about Salieri that had just come to his mind.

"Why? I think Mr. Salieri has always been showing goodwill..." As soon as the words came out, Peroz understood instantly.

"Indeed... Even though there was alcohol, his attitude of telling everything he knew was too strange."

"According to what he said, he has been here for tens of thousands of years."

"Such a long time will completely change a person."

"If you still hold onto hope, then as the former high priest of the Night Goddess Cult, perhaps you can still retain some goodwill."
