Hell’s Handbook

Chapter 437



Based on the location information provided by The Beginning, Su Jin traveled through several universes and got close to his first target after he was certain his surroundings were safe. This was the smallest shard out of the seven, but if Su Jin was able to get hold of it, he could use it as a core to create a planet that was a few hundred times larger than Earth.

After traveling through the universes for so long and seeing so many planets along the way, Su Jin realized that Earth was a mere dwarf compared to most other planets. Some of them were tens of thousands of times larger, or even larger than that.

Once he arrived in the universe where the shard was, he took a big leap and landed in front of the shard. This was a shard that was as large as a few dozen football fields and entirely blue. The core of this star was probably something like a blue crystal of sorts.

Su Jin used maniacal power to capture it and everything went well. The completely blue star was pulled back by maniacal power and quickly stopped moving, held still by Su Jin.

“Very good. The first step has been completed perfectly. Everyone loves a good start,” said Su Jin with a smile. The image of Kano Mai appeared behind him, but she was now merely a human image of The Beginning.

“Alright! Now, tell me, how can I build a planet?” asked Su Jin.

The Beginning nodded slightly, then sent a white beam of light into Su Jin’s consciousness. The primordial star was the first planet that was created from a shard, so The Beginning had a lot of experience in this aspect, and Su Jin had the ability to create a planet.

After Su Jin received the information, he dragged the shard behind him as he went looking for suitable materials within this universe instead of traveling to other universes.

He wanted to create a terrestrial planet, which was a planet that was similar to Earth. That required a lot of materials. It took him several months to finally collect all the materials he needed.

A few dozen planets floated in front of Su Jin. Their gravitational pull ought to have torn each other apart, but Su Jin’s maniacal power was helping to keep the peace between them.

Then, Su Jin suddenly retracted his maniacal power as he flung the blue core into the middle of the planets and watched all the planets tug at each other, distort one another, and gobble each other up.

The universe before him became a terrifying battlefield, and the warriors were several large planets that became entwined with one another immediately. His maniacal power turned into a huge hand that grabbed hold of all the planets together, then he started to roll them up.

The planets were like pieces of clay as they were quickly rolled into a ball and became one planet.

But that wasn’t enough. Su Jin stepped onto the planet to take a look. The planet had all the basics, but if he allowed it to develop on its own, it would take a thousand years, ten thousand, or maybe even longer for life to appear. He had to speed up this process.

Su Jin sat on the surface of the planet and allowed maniacal power to flow out from his eyes. Bit by bit, maniacal power covered the entire planet. Life began to appear in the areas that were covered by his power. Plants appeared first, but these were not plants that belonged to any existing biological classification. They were completely new organisms that were calculated and designed by The Beginning based on Su Jin’s knowledge.

The plants did not stay that way but kept evolving. From the tall to the short, from the frail to the strong – some survived, some perished. After they slowly stabilized, animals began to appear.

Just like the plants, the animals were also evolving. They took more time than the plants, but Su Jin purposely stopped them from turning into any sort of intelligent lifeform, because this planet didn’t need any.

Time slowly ticked by. The ecosystem that should have taken tens of thousands of years to form stabilized within a few months.

Su Jin exhaled deeply and opened his eyes. He scanned what he had made and gave a pleased nod. He proceeded to create a gigantic hall on the planet, which was something that he could create by just raising his arm.

After the hall was built, he placed The Beginning inside. The Beginning was to take charge of the planet and maintain order here. This planet was like the primordial star and it was good to go.

Su Jin moved the planet forward and headed for the second shard. He wanted all seven shards because he intended to create a chain of planets instead of a solo planet like the primordial star.

Before long, yet another year passed by. Su Jin had found five shards and had created a chain of planets. He was left with one last shard and his temple would be considered completed.

“I’ll leave you to take charge of the temple, and I’ll bring the shard back here.” Su Jin didn’t want to take the risk, so he allowed the temple to continue traveling through the universes while he went to get the last shard.

Su Jin left the temple, came to where the last shard was and captured it successfully. Just then, his heart trembled. The trace of maniacal power he had left on Ye Yun and the rest had been erased.

“Damn it, they’ve finally made their move on Ye Yun and the rest?” cursed Su Jin inwardly. He stopped to think for a moment, then returned to the temple, left the shard there, took a team of rune creatures out from The Beginning, and headed straight for Earth.

When he got back to Earth, he let the rune creatures stay temporarily on the moon. He could sense that his friends were not hurt. The other party had merely erased his maniacal power from their bodies.

Su Jin immediately disguised his maniacal power as psychokinesis, then went to look for Xu Ran first. But Xu Ran wasn’t at the Daoist temple, and all the living dead in the temple were now lifeless.

He went on to search for Situ Jin and Bo Ya, then finally Ye Yun, but all of them had disappeared. Traces of their presence were left where they last were, but they had disappeared.

Su Jin was very puzzled and ended up gathering any traces of their presence he could find, to find that it was actually a set of coordinates. They were coordinates for a planet, but it was not complete.

He immediately traveled to Chu Yi’s universe and just as he had expected, Chu Yi and Wu Chen had disappeared too. But Wu Jingru was perfectly fine. When she saw Su Jin, she burst into tears.

“Jingru, what happened here? Where’s Chu Yi and your dad?” asked Su Jin.

“I don’t know how it happened either! A child suddenly visited us one night, and my dad and Chu Yi told me to go out for a while. When I came back, both of them were gone!” Wu Jingru’s eyes were all red and swollen from crying.

“A child came to visit you guys?” Su Jin was even more puzzled now. “Jingru, I would like to take a look at your memories.”

“Sure!” Wu Jingru immediately agreed to it.

Su Jin poured his power into her memories and he quickly found the memories he was looking for. He paled immediately when he realized that the child that Wu Jingru was talking about was actually Shen Wu.

“Damn it! The will of the universe revived Shen Wu!” There was an aggressive glint in Su Jin’s eyes as he took a deep breath. He said to Wu Jingru, “Jingru, stay here and don’t go anywhere. I will handle this matter, you hear me?”

She trusted Su Jin wholeheartedly, so she nodded as she said in a cracked voice, “You’ve got to bring them back!”

“I will, don’t worry!” Su Jin smiled at her, gathered whatever traces of Chu Yi and Wu Chen’s presence was left, and finally got the full set of coordinates he needed.

After he got the full set of coordinates, he did not travel to that place immediately. Since Shen Wu had left these coordinates behind, it meant that he was prepared for Su Jin to come to that universe at any moment. Barging in without any preparation was not wise.

One day later, Su Jin headed for that universe. The moment he set foot inside, he sensed some familiar auras. Ye Yun and his other friends were all here, as well as Shen Wu, the one he had killed with his own hands.

He approached Shen Wu immediately and Shen Wu wasn’t surprised to see him at all. Shen Wu smiled at Su Jin and said, “Life is really full of surprises. I didn’t expect to get another chance to fight against you.”

“And you think you can defeat me?” Su Jin scoffed.

Shen Wu made a face, then said, “I agree that I was too weak back then. But that’s why I’ve made some preparations, and I hope they’re to your liking!”
