"Never mind, we can put this matter aside for now." The first old man looked up and said, "The important thing now is Zero's memory."

"But fortunately, only a part of his memory has recovered. Lin Yuan, I think you have a way to fix it."

"After all, both Zero and Shen Hong were trained by you. You are their instructor, and no one knows them better than you."

"I'll do my best," Lin Wan'er said.

"Not do your best, you must!" The Chief Judge's eyes were ferocious, and besides the blood stains on his forehead, something was squirming under his skin. "The Abyss Plan must succeed. We can't lose everything because of a small mistake. We don't have time!"

Lin Wan'er looked at him and nodded, "Understood, Chief Judge, but I think what you need now is rest. I can feel that your Door is about to move."

"Damn it, damn it all! Shen Hong, Xia Tan, An Xuan, and the entire Xia family... these rebels!" The more excited the Chief Judge became, the more his face, shrouded in gray mist, cracked open with bloody mouths, making him look terrifying.

The first old man sighed and waved his hand at Lin Wan'er, "Go back first. Report any situation in time. Shen Hong will have further actions."

After Lin Wan'er left, the Chief Judge, who had been agitated, slowly calmed down. He stared in the direction where Lin Wan'er disappeared, a undisguised greed appearing in his eyes.

"I know you're badly injured, but you can't covet her Door." The old man paused and advised, "At least not now, she's still useful to us."

Hearing this, the Chief Judge's ferocious face gradually returned to normal. He twisted his neck and looked at the old man beside him, saying gloomily, "Lao Gui, we can't count on her. I didn't trust her back then, but you insisted on choosing her as the person in charge of the Abyss Plan."

The old man, called Lao Gui, shook his head and picked up a candlestick from the table, walking backward. "That was also something we couldn't help. Back then, Xia Tan led those people to severely damage us and almost destroyed our plan. At that time, there was no one more suitable than her."

"But now it's good, we have another way to open that Abyss Door."

Hearing Lao Gui say this, the Chief Judge seemed to have thought of something, his expression paused, and then even his breathing became rapid. "That matter... succeeded?"

Lao Gui did not answer, holding the candlestick and walking towards the depths of the room. If the place where they were standing before was shrouded in a gray mist, then the place they were now heading to was absolute darkness.

Moreover, this darkness was extremely thick. Walking into it felt like being submerged in the deep sea, and even sounds disappeared.

As they went deeper, the flame on the candlestick also changed constantly, gradually changing from its original color to green. The flame was pressed extremely low, but it did not go out.

The green flame burned faintly, like a will-o'-the-wisp.

But it was this will-o'-the-wisp that actually dispelled the surrounding darkness. In the dim light, a chair appeared in front of the two, a very old-fashioned wooden chair with a backrest, and the backrest was covered with a white cloth.

As they approached, Lao Gui, holding the candlestick, slowly squatted down, the weak light only able to illuminate the area below the chair.

The candlelight flickered suddenly, and the next moment, a strange scene appeared: a pair of legs appeared on the originally empty seat.

Wearing a pair of old-fashioned black cloth shoes with white soles, and pants also made of coarse cloth, looking old and cheap, obviously an outdated outfit from decades ago.

The pants were tight against the knees, outlining legs that were frighteningly thin, as if they were only bones. A piece of cloth was turned up at the bottom of the pants, revealing the shriveled, purplish-blue skin on the ankles.

This was a mummy...

But at this moment, whether it was the Chief Judge or Lao Gui holding the candlestick, their attitude when facing the mummy was cautious, respectful, and even fearful.

Lao Gui slowly stood up, but the light that could illuminate the mummy's legs seemed to be suppressed by something, shaking constantly. In the dim light, one could only barely see that the mummy was wearing some kind of uniform.

As for the face, it was a blur.

"Old President, you're finally awake..."

Seemingly in response to these words, the originally weak candlelight suddenly exploded, and with that momentary burst of light, Lao Gui and the Chief Judge saw that behind the mummy's seat, many seats suddenly appeared, very similar to the mummy's seat.

The seats were arranged in twos and threes, extending into the endless darkness.

That place did not belong to this room at all, it had far exceeded the scope of this room, it was another incomprehensible space...

A few seconds later, the entire space began to tremble, with low cries, painful wails, mixed with rumbling sounds and the friction of various parts, as if a heavy and old machine was shaking its rusty body and slowly starting.

It was not until the mummy and the seats had all disappeared that Lao Gui and the Chief Judge seemed to have recovered, their chests rising and falling violently.

"It's a success!" The Chief Judge said excitedly, "Our efforts for the past 20 years have not been in vain. Although the price paid was too high, it is all worth it to awaken the Old President!"

Looking in the direction where the rumbling sound disappeared, the old man called Lao Gui had a resentful look in his eyes. "Courtesy demands reciprocity. Shen Hong sent Xia Tan this great gift to us, and we must return the favor."

"Well said!" The Chief Judge roared, "What is Xia Tan? More than 20 years ago, we relied on the Old President to defeat Xia Tan and those people. Only Xia Tan escaped from more than a dozen high-level disciples, and even that was at the cost of being completely eroded by the Door in his body."

"If the Old President hadn't fallen asleep at the same time, the Abyss Door would have been opened long ago, and we wouldn't have had to wait until now!"

"Don't be too optimistic, you should know best what this represents." Lao Gui turned his head and said. Unlike the Chief Judge, his pale face was covered with haze. After a moment, he sighed and said, "It's enough to use the method of killing a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred casualties once."

However, the Chief Judge didn't seem to care. "I said, Lao Gui, don't be too pessimistic. After the Abyss Door is opened, we will be able to take over a new world."
