Weird wisps of blood-red smoke drifted from the endless ancient mountains. In the deepest part of the mountains stood a mysterious castle made of piles of bones. The stream next to the castle was not flowing with clear springs but with the stinking blood of wild beasts.

Three giant vultures with wings several feet long hovered over the castle, occasionally emitting chilling neighing sounds.

"My Lord, the annual rebellion in time and space has ended."

In the darkness, a man reported in an extremely hoarse voice. Then, with his dry and slender hands, he struck a match and carefully lit the candle on the wall. A gloomy, wrinkled face became clear.

"This is the latest information sent by the Master of Tianzhi Palace this morning. Please take a look at it." After saying that, he bowed with great humility, held up the letter with both hands, raised it above his head and handed it over.

Sitting on the wicker chair was a man wearing a black robe with a thin back. The dancing candlelight reflected half of his cold face.

"Guardian Deadwood, you are too careless." The man took the letter and did not open it, but said this sentence lightly.

When Kumu heard this, his eyes that were originally lifeless began to tremble in panic.

"I don't understand what I did wrong. Please punish me, Lord!"

"It's a taboo to light a candle to read information, don't you understand?"

Kumu suddenly realized what he was doing. He quickly waved his sleeves and extinguished the candle, turning the room into darkness again.

"You said that if I opened your Tianling Cap and lit the sky lantern, wouldn't the expression on your face be wonderful?"

"I realize my mistake, please forgive me, Lord." Kumu was sweating profusely and knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"Haha... I am joking with you. You really have no sense of humor." The man with a cold face suddenly burst into laughter. This uncertain master always gave people a creepy feeling.

"stand up."

Kumu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stood up.

"Among the nine masters of the palace, I am probably the most merciful in the abyss. If it were the blood master, you would have been lit up with sky lanterns just now, don't you think so?"

"The Lord of the Palace has always been kind-hearted and considerate of his subordinates. Kumu is willing to follow you to the death for the rest of his life."

The man nodded with satisfaction, then opened the letter, ran his fingers across the paper, and finished reading the letter with a single thought.

"The Master of Shenyue Palace is missing." The man smiled slightly and burned the letter in his hand to ashes, and the candle on the wall spontaneously ignited without fire.

"Did Lord Blood Lord send someone to do it?"

"The two sects of Shenyue and Xingyu have always been secretive, and Lord Blood Lord has nothing to do with them. I think... something unexpected happened to the Lord of Shenyue Palace." The Lord of Abyss Palace closed his eyes and said.

"Stone Buddha Envoy."

At this moment, a man with huge earlobes and a face as carved in stone walked out of the smooth wall.

"My subordinate is here."

"Send people around to look for Palace Master Shenyue, and report as soon as there is any news."

"Yes." The Stone Buddha clasped his hands into fists, and his body melted into the white mud and disappeared into the floor.

"Guardian of Deadwood, how many people came during this time of chaos?"

Kumu quickly replied: "For the palace master, a total of nine groups of seventy people have come."

"Seventy people..." The Lord of the Abyss Palace looked out the window, seemingly thoughtful.

"Two hundred and fifty-three years ago, the number of people who came to Netherworld Continent with me was exactly seventy, and now I am the only one left."

"It turns out that the master of the palace is one of the few top experts in the Netherworld Continent." Protector Deadwood quickly flattered him.

But this time the Lord of the Abyss Palace remained unmoved, instead showing a sadness that others could not understand.

"This is the Blood Cross, take it to perform the mission." The Lord of the Abyss Palace stood up and threw back a blood-red cross that looked like a sharp sword. The Deadwood Protector reached out and held it carefully.

"I'm a little tired." After saying that, he walked towards the inner room.

The deadwood protector suddenly remembered something and quickly reported: "Sir..."

The Lord of the Abyss Palace was stunned, "What else is there?"

"My subordinates spent a whole day and night guarding the space-time tunnel of the Bibuti volcano, and discovered a strange thing."

"oh?"

"This time, nine groups of people came to the chaos in time and space. When the first eight groups came, the number of each group was about eight people, and they had no fixed trajectory when they flew in time and space, but the ninth group of people came in a straight line.

We entered the volcano, but there were only four people there. Do you think there is anything strange about this?"

"It's probably just a coincidence. I'm too tired when you go out."

At this time, the Master of the Abyss Hall was very preoccupied and seemed to have lost interest in everything, and the Deadwood Protector could only retreat with a sense of humor.

"I remember I was trapped in a fire in a shopping mall, and why did I fall into a cave in a blink of an eye?"

"I clearly remember that I was bungee jumping with my friends. Why did I end up in this crappy place just after I jumped?"

"The cruise ship I was on encountered a shipwreck, and I thought I was dead. Haha, I'm actually not dead!"

The Bibeci volcano is the largest extinct volcano in the Netherworld. There is a natural cave in the belly of the volcano. At this time, seventy travelers from different worlds gathered in the cave. Now everyone is discussing their experiences of traveling through time and space.

, the cave suddenly exploded.

Mo Ming was completely distracted, as if he had lost his soul. He squatted beside the thorns and had not said a word since last night.

"Here, have something to eat." Jianjia seemed a little tired at this moment. He roasted a fire scorpion, tore it in half and handed it to Mo Ming.

"It's not poisonous, I've tried it."

"I don't want it." Mo Ming pushed Thorny's hand away without mercy.

"Do you think it makes sense to torture yourself like this?" Thorns threw the scorpion meat into the fire and asked angrily.

Mo Ming stared blankly at the dancing flames in front of him, and whispered softly: "Maybe I was destined to have a meaningless life when I was born."

"Do you think you are pitiful?" Jiajia smiled silently.

"Let me tell you, no one is the only one in this world. If you want to know the meaning of your existence, then try to live, otherwise you will never know the answer."

Mo Ming lowered his head and whispered: "I am different from you. I was abandoned after I was born. Only grandpa loves me."

"You are a coward!"

Mo Ming was startled and looked up at the thorns: "At least I'm still alive now."

"Being alive is not proof of your strength!"

Mo Ming's eyes dimmed and he buried his head again.

"I saw something on the cliff just now. I'll take you to see it." After saying that, the thorns dragged Mo Mingsheng to the cliff.

At this time, the wind was strong and was about to blow people down. The wild beasts roared all around, and the sound resounded throughout the valley. From time to time, loose gravel rolled down from the crater. In the distance, there were endless mountains that looked like giant dragons.

Between the mountains are dense forests and vast grasslands. Strong beasts are running wildly on the grasslands, and the sky is full of raptors soaring wantonly. As far as the eye can see, everything can be seen, making people feel passionate.

"Did you see it?" Jingjia turned his head to look at Mo Ming excitedly, but his face immediately sank because... this kid kept his eyes closed.

"You stinky boy." Jingjia became furious and gave Mo Ming a "slap" on the back of his head.

"Ah..." Mo Ming felt a sharp pain, covering the back of his head, gritting his teeth and opening his eyes.

"The answer you need is right here."

Mo Ming rubbed his head and looked into the distance, puzzled: "Why didn't I notice it?"

"Wait a little longer."

After a while, a gust of wind blew by, and the faint sound of trembling leaves was heard, and then the leaves fell all over the sky.

"What is this?" Thorny opened his palms, and the leaves in his palms were blown off the cliff by the strong wind.

"Leaves." Mo Ming replied, then turned to look at a tree full of small flowers growing on the volcano wall.

"Take another look at what that is?"

Following the guidance of the thorns, Mo Ming saw several butterflies dancing in the wind around the flowers on the branches.

"Butterfly." Mo Ming replied.

"Is it beautiful?"

"Um."

"Then do you know why the wind can blow away leaves, but not a butterfly?"

"Because it's alive." Mo Ming turned his head and looked at the distant mountains and replied casually.

"Not quite right."

"Why is that?"

"Because the meaning of life is not to give in."

For a moment, Mo Ming was stunned. This was the most shocking sentence he had ever heard in his life. This sentence was engraved in his heart and would never be erased.

The strong wind blew unbridled, and the thorns grabbed a leaf and handed it to Mo Ming's hand.

"Be it a leaf or a butterfly, it's up to you." After saying that, he strode away.

"What's your name?" Mo Ming asked solemnly without turning around.

"thorns, thorns of thorns, thorns of thorns." A bright smile appeared on thorns' face.

"Don't you ask me what my name is?"

"No need to ask, your name is brother."

Mo Ming was stunned again.

The strong wind blew by, and Mo Ming remained motionless, as if he had turned into that unyielding butterfly.
