Thick smoke rose into the sky from the blaze.

It was a prop explosion.

Sui Han didn’t have time to react before he dashed out, but as soon as he stepped out of the door, it was as if he stepped into thin air, and the sound of bells echoed around him.

It was as if he had stepped into hell itself.

“Young Master, Young Master Jun Qiu has sent a pot of flowers. Should I help you place it in the main hall?” The person beside him was utterly respectful.

Sui Han shook his head slightly. The minister immediately understood his meaning and returned the flowers.

“Young Master, Young Master Jun Qiu has invited you to dinner. Would you like to…”

“No.”

Inside Jun Qiu’s palace.

The white-robed youth had sharp eyes and brows. He swept the flowerpot off the table, “Hmph, brother is truly arrogant. He doesn’t think much of the flowers his younger brother sent!”

Jun Qiu and Sui Han were twins.

Thousands of years ago, a hidden underground palace beneath Mount Buzhou had always existed. The underground palace had no master, but the ministers diligently remained in the palace to serve, believing that soon, the gods would be moved by them and send them a deity.

He was an evil god, born in darkness.

But for some reason, this time, two were sent.

When Sui Han was born, he was enveloped in a black aura. Unlike Jun Qiu, who lay quietly in white light, he always seemed unapproachable.

Sui Han was naturally indifferent and never liked the food brought by the ministers. He wanted to research food and created many recipes, unlike Jun Qiu, who only liked to live a life high above everyone else, enjoying being the young master adored by all.

Jun Qiu often tried to please his brother, but Sui Han coldly rejected him each time.

Jun Qiu hated him in his heart, but he still pretended to be kind on the surface.

“Do you still remember the two large characters that appeared when the waves rose at the birth of the young masters? This must be the will of the gods.”

“Is it… darkness and light?”

“That’s right. Young Master Sui Han is cold, and his favorite casual clothes are black. In the future, we should ask Young Master Jun Qiu for his opinion on matters in the palace.”

Everyone disliked Sui Han.

The existence of their palace was to suppress living beings.

Those souls who had committed evil deeds and were sent to the underworld after death needed to repent and atone for their sins. They were suppressed under the sea, beneath the underground palace, and had to pay the price for their sins for the rest of their lives.

The Sea Temple was part of the underground palace. Whenever the bells rang, new living beings had been sent in.

As the two grew up, there was more and more discussion in the palace, and they were more inclined to hand over the power of the underground palace to Jun Qiu, because Jun Qiu was kind and always smiled at them. He must be the God of Light!

One day, after drinking tea, Sui Han suddenly had a severe headache and fell unconscious. He only woke up slowly after several days.

Drinking tea was a ritual held in the underground palace every month, or simply a tea party. The two young masters and the ministers expressed their opinions, and the recorder reported on the recent situation of the living beings and how many new living beings had been taken into custody recently.

“According to statistics, 36,000 living beings have committed offenses in the past month.” The recorder’s tone was calm but slightly surprised.

Even Sui Han, who rarely participated in political affairs, couldn’t help but raise his eyes, “Why so many?”

The recorder bowed deeply, “I don’t know…”

He was only responsible for recording and did not care about the numbers.

It was not the first time that Sui Han had fainted. The boy sat on the chair, one hand resting beside him. His memory seemed to be deteriorating, but he did not know why.

“Come here.”

He called the person beside him and whispered a few words.

The person returned quickly in the evening and reported to Sui Han, “Young Master, you were right. Someone did secretly add something to your tea. It was… underground palace seawater.”

The underground palace’s seawater was corrosive, and living beings suffered greatly. It was already good that Sui Han only had memory loss.

“Should I investigate further to find out who harmed you?”

The boy sighed, “No need.”

Three months later, there were more and more living beings in the underground palace. Every night, Sui Han seemed to be able to hear their wails.

“Save me, God…”

“I’m innocent. I’m a good person. I didn’t do anything wrong!”

“The underground palace disregards the lives of living beings. I swear, if I can get out, I will take his life!”

Sui Han held the pet compendium hidden in his arms since birth and quietly closed his eyes.

“Come here.” He called the most loyal minister beside him again.

“I will leave here and return to the world with my avatar.”

Upon hearing this, the minister’s heart skipped a beat, “You can’t, Young Master! Young Master Jun Qiu is of a wicked nature. He has captured many innocent living beings and brought them back. He wants to show off in front of the ministers. He wants to suppress you and monopolize the position of this underground palace!”

Sui Han was calm, “That’s why I must leave. I have been drinking the tea continuously for several years, and I will lose my memory sooner or later.”

The minister was sorrowful, “Young Master, give your orders. I am willing to follow you forever!”

“I will use my avatar to create a parallel space-time and leave secretly. My true body will be imprisoned under the sea by Jun Qiu for some reason in the near future. You only need to find an opportunity to release my true body, and I can escape from here and break free.”

“The gods created him, so naturally there is a way to kill him.”

Sui Han took out the pet compendium, “I will divide my avatar into several parts and send them to attract the world’s spiritual energy. Eventually, they will transform into spirit pets and come to me alone.”

The minister seemed to understand something, “As long as Young Master can fill the compendium with his avatars, he can find a way to kill him?!”

“Yes.”

Sui Han tilted his head and smiled, “Incantation.”

Incantation was the only way to kill Jun Qiu.

It was the first time the minister had seen his master smile, but there seemed to be some sadness in that smile, “I don’t want to make things difficult for him, because we were originally born from the same root, but Jun Qiu… is too restless.”

The minister wiped away his tears and knelt at Sui Han’s feet, “Young Master, you are the God of Light. They, they are all deceived by Jun Qiu!”

“It doesn’t matter anymore.”

Sui Han’s memory flashed back to the day before he left. When he opened his eyes, the minister stood beside him, “Young Master, you’re back!”

Sui Han closed his eyes. So that’s what happened.

No wonder Jun Qiu kept chasing after him.

After Jun Qiu had made him completely lose his memory, he imprisoned him under the sea, but he didn’t expect that there were still people willing to risk their lives for him.

Sui Han’s actual body escaped, and Jun Qiu, enraged, sent underground palace assassins to hunt him down. Those assassins were selected from the living beings. They had no heads because Jun Qiu had removed their heads. Only in this way could they be obedient.

And the fake old Taoist that Liang Dahu knew back then was one of them, and also a small leader.

Small leaders usually voluntarily surrendered to Jun Qiu, so although his head was removed, Jun Qiu deliberately retained his consciousness to work for him.

The small leader wandered the world, searching for a way to kill his master.

Although Jun Qiu imprisoned Sui Han, he found that he could not kill him. No matter how much seawater he poured on him, it was useless. Although the God of Light and the God of Darkness were natural enemies, it was not so easy for them to take each other’s lives.

Until Jun Qiu accidentally heard about a pet compendium, he sent the other assassins to help him find it.

The small leader was playful. While looking for the compendium, he also helped Liang Dahu a little. When Jun Qiu learned about Sui Han’s avatar trick, he exited the underground palace to look for his brother.

Those innocent living beings summoned Sui Han’s return this time.

His believers hoped that he could help them escape from the seabed, and this time, only his conviction could end the injustice.

“Jun Qiu, you think you can kill me by luring me out of space with a pet competition?” Sui Han said coldly to the youth who followed him, “Back then, you used all means, but you only made me lose my memory. Now, you don’t even have this chance.”

Jun Qiu smiled. The youth shed his hypocritical mask and finally revealed his ferocious face, “At worst, I’ll imprison brother under the sea again.”

Sui Han reached out, and the pet compendium appeared in his palm. “You’re looking for this, aren’t you?”

Jun Qiu’s composure from the previous second disappeared when he saw the red book.

He took a few steps back warily. “How do you have this?”

Sui Han shook his head, “You think you can collect the pets needed for the compendium by snatching a winged dragon transformed from my avatar? You still won’t have this book even if you snatch all my avatars.”

Jun Qiu gritted his teeth, “I’ll ask you again why you have this?!”

“Because I am the God of Light.”

Sui Han put away the pet compendium and said, “Your disguise is useless. You have harmed so many innocent living beings. You are the one who should be imprisoned under the sea.”

Jun Qiu retorted sharply, “You’re dreaming. I don’t believe the gods will favor you. What about light? What about darkness? This world is twisted. The hearts of humans are ugly and evil. The winner will be king in this war between you and me!”

After Jun Qiu finished speaking, he sacrificed a white umbrella and rushed towards Sui Han.

Sui Han sacrificed a black umbrella to resist, dodged with a sway of his body, and stood directly above the Sea Temple.

The boy closed his eyes slightly and chanted in a low voice.

Strange spells floated out of his mouth one by one. Jun Qiu was surrounded by gold and soon became unable to move. His breathing became more and more rapid, and his body seemed to be constantly disintegrating.

Incantation had such mighty power.

Was it going to tear him apart?

He was not willing!

Sui Han continued to chant the incantation. Jun Qiu was no match, and the white light around him scattered in clusters, as if he had lost his breath.

He wanted to move his feet to avoid the attack, but the golden light was like a transparent golden bell cover, covering him tightly, making him unable to escape.

The prolonged torture exhausted him.

Jun Qiu’s eyes became blurrier and blurrier. He staggered and fell into the sea.

The bells on the Sea Temple rang loudly. New living beings merged in, and Jun Qiu was torn to pieces by the living beings as soon as he went down.

Those innocent people who had obtained the power of the gods broke out of the water like a volley of arrows, flew out of the underground palace, and flew out of the abyss that had trapped them for so long.

In the white room, the pet compendium disappeared.

Several little cubs were playing games with gusto. The name of the game was: Pet War.

The little cubs messed up Sui Han’s small room. Snacks were all over the floor, and the toy cars were overturned. As soon as the owner woke up, he couldn’t help but raise his hand to hit the children.

“Who told you to make trouble? Stand up and accept the punishment.”

The cubs retreated silently, and only the silly little zombie was pushed out. The little zombie was so scared that his face turned red. He hugged his head and wanted to run away, but Sui Han directly grabbed his collar.

“I knew you were the ringleader.”

The live broadcast was currently playing on the computer. Sui Han glanced at the crazy barrage area and said, “I’ve decided to sell the cubs. Those who want to bid, come.”

[Wuwuwuwu, I’ve finally waited for this day]

[Me, me, me, me, 600 million, is this a package deal this time?]

“No, I’ll sell them one by one, starting with… Big Banana first.”

Sui Han smiled, and the cubs immediately began cleaning up the room, each more diligent than the last.

Sui Han stood alone before the window, staring blankly at the bright moon in the sky. The minister bowed slightly and reported in a low voice beside him, “The underground palace has returned to its former state, and the living beings have also been screened. The innocent have all been released back to the ground.”

“Mm.”

“Young Master Jun Qiu was… placed in the flowerpot in his palace. His evil nature has been removed, but I don’t know what he will become.”

Sui Han ultimately spared his life. Anyway, he would not do evil in the future.

“Keep him. Maybe he will become my next pet.”

Sui Han joked and slowly disappeared in front of the window.
