Amongst thousands of warships at the entrance of the Forbidden Land, there were three that caught the most attention.
Not only were those three warships the biggest, but they were also carrying the most important people from Three Great Clans.
In the middle warship, there were the leaders of the Blood Clan with their Patriarch who had a cold look on his face. While the other two clans didn't know much about the secret of the Forbidden Land, how could he not know?
It wasn't wrong to say that half the reason his clan came into prominence was because of the inheritance that their ancestor received in the Forbidden Land.
That's why, they knew even more about this place than the others. It was also why the current Patriarch of the Blood Clan had such a grim expression on his face.
"Is it really a coincidence that he entered that place? Or did he know about that...?"
If it was any other place, he wouldn't have come personally, even if it was Gabriel who came here. However, because of the Forbidden Land, he couldn't take things easy. He didn't want to mess everything up when they were so close to it!
He raised his voice, commanding his men to enter the Forbidden Land in search of Gabriel! The leaders from the Nether Beast Clan and the leaders from the Undead Clan also commanded their people!
At once, thousands of battleships entered the dangerous Forbidden Land in search of one person!
The new warriors from the three great clans knew that they were here to search for a person. However, they had no idea why all the mighty figures from their clans were so agitated because of one person!
Only the ancient beings who were present a thousand years ago knew what it was all about. However, even they didn't understand why the Blood Clan Patriarch personally came!
The other two great Nether Clans only sent their leaders. Their Patriarch didn't come personally either. They were still in seclusion. It was just the Blood Clan Patriarch who left his seclusion, even at the risk of a backlash to come to this place, as if he was worried about something!
....
Inside the Nether Realm Capital, Alion and Jia were sitting in a garden. Even though the outside world was lifeless, the Capital still looked like it was flourishing.
There were majestic buildings, and many intriguing structures that could be seen outside. They had even seen many fascinating statues, fountains in the middle of crossroads, and other such measures that made this place look no different than any ordinary City outside!
If it wasn't for the baleful aura and lack of a trace of spiritual strength in the air, even Alion would've wondered if he was still in the Nether Realm or accidentally left the place.
They had arrived at the Capital seven days ago. And they still weren't caught. No one even knew that there were two outsiders in this place.
They still had the Ghost City Branch Head of Undead Clan in their grasp. It was because of him that they found out so many things about the Capital.
In the last seven days, they also saw three great armies of the Nether Realm leaving the capital in majestic ancient battleships. Even if the others didn't know where they were going, Jia and Alion knew! It was clear that they were going for Gabriel!
That meant it was also time for them to take action! The Capital's defense was clearly at their weakest! It was the perfect opportunity for them to take advantage! Moreover, with the Undead Clan Branch Head, their chances were much higher.
Even though the Undead Clan Branch Head wasn't as strong or influential as the Undead Clan members from the capital, he still had his own advantages!
Not only was he knowledgeable about the Nether Realm Capital, but he also knew about the Soul Land of the Nether Realm Capital where all the souls were imprisoned!
It was said that the Soul Land was the holy ground of the Undead Clan! It was directly connected to the sea of reincarnation! It was also one of the few Soul Lands that were spread throughout the universe!
Whenever a person died, their souls were sent to one of the Soul Lands where their souls were erased... Or rather, their entire personality and memories were destroyed, leaving only the purest form of soul energy that was then sent into the sea of reincarnation!
This soul energy was then used to keep the balance of the universe. Soul land played an impossible role in maintaining the universe!
In fact, what others didn't know was that Gabriel also had a Soul Land inside his body! It was his personal Soul Land which was no smaller than the other Soul Lands.
The only difference was that the souls that went to his Soul Land didn't have a chance of reincarnation ever! It was only when Gabriel increased his control over the Element of Death that he formed this Soul Land!
When he woke up as the god of death for the first time, he had no control over his soul land. In fact, his body absorbed the souls of millions of beings at that time to strengthen him and he couldn't control it!
Amongst those souls, there were also souls of his family members. At that time, he thought that everything was over. However, it was only later that he realized that there was one soul that wasn't completely destroyed by him!
It was the Soul of his sister which split in two for some reason. One of the two entered his Soul Land, getting destroyed! As for the other, it couldn't remain intact because of being split into two!
The other half of his sister's soul split into thousands of fragments, accidentally entering the Soul Land of the Nether Realm!
It was also because of that, Gabriel was able to save his sister... Or at least save half her soul.
He saved the soul fragments from the Nether Realm Soul Land. Used the stone received from the Goddess of Light to nourish the soul Fragments for thousands of years, healing it to some extent.
Unfortunately, since half his sister's soul was already destroyed, even when the other half of her soul was healed, she still didn't have any memories. It was as if she was herself, yet at the same time she was someone else!
In fact, it was also the reason Gabriel created the Grimoire of Death that was connected to him! Others thought it was a way for him to strengthen himself, which prompted other gods to create Grimoires as well.
However, only Gabriel knew that it was something else. His Grimoire was a safety precaution!
It worked like a terminal between his Soul Land this world. Instead of souls going directly to his Soul Land and becoming his strength, they went to the Grimoire and were kept there!
This way, he could decide which souls to absorb and which to keep for other things!
Only he knew this secret though. Even Alion had no idea about his reason behind creating the Grimoire!
