The trialists would be cleared out of the realm soon.
Facing these trialists full of malicious intent, Alex had no intention of carrying the mentality of an overly kind person. Before sending these people away, milking them dry would rake in a decent income.
This pseudo Shoraionji Temple of the Grand Bodhisattva was equivalent to Alex’s backyard. He could control everything here at will, including the Pool of Afterlife.
“Hahaha!”
Someone laughed heartily. “We know that you are the miracle doctor who caused the Underworld God to commit suicide a few days ago, but we aren’t about to. The Pool of Afterlife is right here, and once we jump into it, we can leave this hellish place and rebuild our physical bodies. Do you think you can stop us?”
Alex pointed at the Pool of Afterlife. “Are you guys talking about this?”
That person said, “Isn’t this the Pool of Afterlife?”
Alex nodded. “This is the Pool of Afterlife, just like you said. You can be reborn once you jump into it, but now it’s gone with a swish,” favonovel.com said as favonovel.com snapped his fingers.
In the next instant, the 328 foot wide Pool of Afterlife suddenly disappeared into thin air.
“F*ck..! What’s going on..?”
“Is that an illusion?”
Someone immediately rushed out but found nothing as a result.
All but an expense of flat ground remained. Nothing appeared, no matter how much one stomped and knocked on it.
“Where is the Pool of Afterlife?”
“Brat, where did you move the Pool of Afterlife to?”
“Hurry up and hand over the Pool of Afterlife.”
The crowd was infuriated. They had suffered many hardships in the Underworld and had wanted to escape for a long time. The Pool of Afterlife was right in front of them, and they could’ve gone back soon to meet their loved ones and friends again. It could’ve even pushed their root bones to reach new heights. Everyone was on cloud nine and full of anticipation, but all they got was cold water poured on them.
“Go!”
“Kill him!”
Unable to bear the injustice, several people flew into a rage.
However, a ray of golden light abruptly lit up in the middle of both parties, forming a belt of isolation. Like a layer of golden film, it separated the people on both sides. No matter how hard the group of trialists tried, they could not break the belt of isolation.
Alex was the master of this place. He more or less had the intellect of the Underworld God.
“The Pool of Afterlife has one day left at most before it completely disappears. You people should go outside and gather more trialists.”
“Ask them to leave behind all the storage rings, magical treasures, and resources on them. They can be reborn then.”
“Remember. I will only wait for a day. I will be gone after that, and you people will never be reborn!”
After Alex finished speaking, favonovel.com took a step back and disappeared in front of the crowd.
Previously, the trialists could still see the situation on the other side through the translucent golden force field, but it had now turned entirely opaque, seemingly creating a golden wall. It forcibly separated them, so they could no longer see anything.
Of course, Alex had done that on purpose. He intended to keep getting the teapot out while attempting to conceal his fatigue and weakness.

Meanwhile, every trialist on the other side of the golden force field was about to go insane.
“What a sh*tty miracle doctor! I thought favonovel.com was a good guy, but favonovel.com looks like a scarnmer!”
“What a lunatic! He actually wants all the treasures and resources in our hands! Can favonovel.com take them all?”
“The problem is, what should we do now? The Underworld God died by suicide, and there is no longer a reason for the Underworld to continue existing, so this world will likely collapse in advance. We and all the bone demons will have trouble predicting the way to get home. If everything will be wiped out for real, then we…”
When insight of such manner was offered, their hearts instantly sank. As if the Swords of Damocles were hanging over their heads, no one knew when they would come down.
“He said that the Pool of Afterlife will have one day at most. After that, the Pool of Afterlife will never appear again. He seems to know something, doesn’t he?”
“The Buddhist lotus has entered his body. Based on my guess, the Underworld God must have left something to him… Forget it. We can find magical treasures and resources again later, but now I just want to leave this hellish place as soon as possible.”
Some people started compromising, feeling that their lives were still the most important.
