The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 84 The Hall of Life and Death?
Inside the Immortal Wine Shop.
Jiu Shen glanced at the void with a confused expression on his face.
“System, I can feel a sense of doubt arising from within Hestia's soul when she saw that demon. You told me that he was a creation that you made for me, but it seems like his background is not just that.” Jiu Shen communicated with the system through his mind.
– Ding!
“Home master, Hestia is indeed a creation made by the system. His soul was something that the system had taken from the Hall of Life and Death. Her reaction just now was something understandable since her death had something to do with the devil.” The system responds with a mechanical sound.
“Aula of Life and Death? Thinking that you can really get a soul from that place. Even the three almighty Heavenly Emperors did not dare to offend the people from there. How did you get Hestia's soul from them?” The normally calm Jiu Shen felt astonishment in his heart.

In Jiu Shen's previous life, there was a majestic holy land hovering above the Primordial God Realm. No one knows when this floating island was created, but the oldest immortal beings mention that the island already existed even before they were born.
Because of the mysteriousness of this place many are curious about its origin. Some tried to visit it, but there was a kind of ban that prevented everyone from approaching this floating holy land.
The strongest of the immortals tried, but they were helpless in their efforts to ascend to this sacred land. Heavenly Emperor Lao Gou and Heavenly Emperor Jian Wang also attempted to fly to that place but they also faced the same restrictions. All they could do was stare at his towering silhouette helplessly.
Everyone then called the place as “Three Heavenly Dao Towers”. The reason for its name is because three towers were erected on top of this floating island.
No one knew what the three towers represented.
Jiu Shen was among the people who tried to visit the Three Towers of the Divine Dao, but like everyone else, he also failed. Only when Jiu Shen met the third Heavenly Emperor, the ruler of Hell, did he know the origin of the Three Heavenly Dao Towers. As for how the ruler of Hell knew everything about it, even Jiu Shen did not understand.

‘According to Asmodeus Lord of Hell, the Hall of Life and Death is responsible for the rebirth and death of all souls in the multiverse. The Hall of Life and Death is also where souls are kept before they are given a chance to be reborn. In that case, was my soul also stored there before I was taken away by the system?’ Jiu Shen thought to himself.
The system remained silent and ignored Jiu Shen.
Theia had a cold expression, but Jiu Shen saw a burning fighting intent in her eyes. He knew that Theia might have seen the fight between Hestia and the demon general. He only held back because Jiu Shen did not order him to help Hestia.
‘Master should have trained Hestia, so I shouldn't have interfered in this, but.’ Theia used her spiritual power to watch the fight between Hestia and the demon general, but, but he felt uneasy as the fight continued.
When Theia saw Hestia being thrown into the mountain, the first one involuntarily held the sword tied behind her back. The thick murderous air enveloping the entire store made customers shut their mouths in trepidation. They did not know what made this female demonic incarnation angry so it made her react that way.
“Theia, don't be impulsive. Hestia would not be killed from the attack. It was just a momentary distraction on his part. That's why he was defeated. Furthermore, the demon was also severely injured. It will take a lot of time.for him to heal those wounds.” Jiu Shen said telepathically to Theia.
“But sir, that demon hurt Hestia! I want to kill him!” The murderous gaze of Theia did not subside, instead becoming stronger.
Jiu Shen's calm eyes suddenly turned cold, making Theia instantly recognize his reckless actions. He sighed and lowered his head with a sad look. “I'm sorry, sir. That won't happen again.”
Jiu Shen sighed and shook his head. “I understand your concern, Theia. But for now, I have no plans to intervene with the fate of humans in this world. That is unless they decide to mess with us openly.”.
Theia let out a long sigh and nodded her head in understanding. He then walked towards Jiu Shen and bowed with a regretful expression. “Master, I can't wait now. I deserve to be punished.”
Jiu Shen's indifferent eyes turned gentle as he felt a sense of sincerity in Theia's words. He walked over to her and rubbed his head gently. “Don't worry, Theia. I know you've been itching for a fight after being trapped inside this shop as a guard. Actually, you don't have to wait that long to grant this wish.”
Theia blushed after her wish was revealed. He did not know how Jiu Shen could find out.
‘How does master know?’ He thought while feeling a little embarrassed.
“Master, what do you mean?” Theia asked with a curious look. He did want a battle, but all he did inside the store was kick the customer's butt that made trouble.
Jiu Shen patted her head lightly as she replied in a mysterious tone. “Did you not feel all the strong presence gathering inside Beltran City? They will come here soon and that's when you will move.”
Theia had a flash of understanding when she heard her master's words. He then glanced at the four Earth Origin Dragon Trees that each had three beautifully blooming flowers. It was a sign that the Earth Origin Dragon Tree was about to bear fruit!
