At midnight, Lin Nai returned to her dormitory, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.
With her eyes closed, Linnai's consciousness sank into the sea of the dead.
The vast, gray sea stretched as far as the eye could see, everything shrouded in a grey haze.
Quiet, oppressive, dull, and cold – this seems to be the true face of the Sea of the Dead.
However, ever since that old man, Mist God, arrived...
"Today is our monthly Undead Party!"
On an island in the Sea of the Dead, the Mist God, Gaiying, cheerfully used a pale white bone as a microphone: "This year's party is especially special. Our undead family has gained two more heavyweight gods. They are... one of the most beautiful goddesses before the destruction of our divine civilization, the embodiment of love and peace, the combination of kindness and beauty... the Goddess of Love, Gulin!"
"And His child, representing justice and precision, an incomparably handsome god... Gun God Kurt!"
Linnaeus: "..."
Cupid Gulin and Gun God Kurt sat together in the very center, their ghostly blue flames still burning coldly.
The two deities seemed somewhat uneasy. Although their faces, in their undead bodies, didn't reveal much expression, one could clearly sense the awkward atmosphere they were in.
Clearly, they still haven't adapted to the culture here.
Both Cupid and Gunslinger turned to look at the Ten Souls not far away.
The ten souls nodded to them, meaning: You'll get used to it.
In front of them sat rows of werewolf undead, all looking somewhat dumbfounded.
After speaking for a while, the Mist God saw that the other undead did not react, his smile gradually froze, and then he immediately put on a stern face: "What are you all standing there for? Give us some applause, make some noise!"
"......"
"Awoooo ...
The shadow wolves and ghouls already knew the rules and began to howl in unison.
The newly arrived werewolf undead were still completely bewildered.
"Looks like the new inmates haven't adjusted to our atmosphere yet..."
The Mist God shook his head: "That's not good. Now that we're all here, we're all family. How can we be so reserved?... How about this, you, yes, you, come up and perform a talent for everyone! What? You can't?! No problem, then just bark like a dog a couple of times!... I know you're a wolf. All wolf-type undead here have to bark like dogs. It's a rule set by Lord Carlos of the Sea of the Dead. If you don't believe me, ask them..."
As the Mist God spoke, he looked sternly at the Shadow Wolf and Skeleton Wolf beside him: "Am I right?"
“Yes, yes, yes…” The Shadow Wolf and the Skeleton Wolf nodded repeatedly.
Linnaeus: "..."
Lin Nai finally couldn't stand it anymore, sighed softly, and stepped forward.
"Oh my, isn't this Lord Carlos?" The old man from the Mist God smiled at Linnaeus and gave a divine salute. "It's a rare treat for Lord Carlos to return to our Sea of the Dead. Would you like to join our celebration?"
“…No need.” Linna looked at Cupid Gulin and Gun God Kurt: “I need to talk to them about something.”
Upon hearing this, Cupid and Gunslinger immediately floated towards Linnai with a sense of relief.
The two gods' spirits only had relatively intact upper bodies, which were even more damaged than when they first met the Ten Souls. Their lower bodies were ghostly blue spirit shadows, so they were floating in the air when they moved.
Linnaeus took Cupid and Gunslinger to another island, mainly because the old man, Fog God, was too noisy there.
Only this old man could make the Sea of the Dead so lively...
Seeing this, the ten souls also silently floated over.
"Lord Carlos," both Cupid and Gunslinger greeted him respectfully.
Their voices were broken, demonic sounds, just like their bodies, barely discernible as male or female.
“No need to be so polite.” Lin Nai waved his hand. “I am a traitorous god who was stripped of my divine status by the God King. Your experiences are not much different from mine, so there is no need to abide by those outdated rules of the previous gods’ civilization.”
The voice of the goddess Gulin hummed: "It has nothing to do with the past of the gods. We are very grateful to you for allowing our family to be reunited here."
Linnaeus smiled.
"Is there something you want to ask us, sir?" Gu Lin asked.
“Yes, I do have some questions.” Linna looked at Him and asked, “I want to know, after the gods perished, where did your souls go after leaving the Sea of the Dead? And how did they become like this?”
Gulin paused for a moment and said, "Actually, we don't remember much."
"We only remember being drawn into a non-material world, where our souls and bodies were almost completely destroyed. We were only able to barely preserve the last shred of our souls by relying on the indestructible nature of the divine souls."
"Later, we didn't know what happened, we only saw a dimensional rift that tore open the non-prime matter plane and sucked us in."
"When our consciousness returned, we arrived in the alien world of the human capital. It was there that Kurt and I slowly recovered a part of our souls and bodies."
Lin Nai narrowed her eyes.
Another dimensional rift...
It seems that the dimensional rift has already invaded the non-primitive material world.
The Ten Souls and the Shadow should have come to the material world in the same way.
The contents of the Record of Destruction are correct; the dimensional rift has actually been expanding silently all along.
It's just that humans, and most of the demon races, haven't discovered it yet.
So, the whereabouts of other deities and spirits should be pretty much the same as theirs...
Unless they were sucked into a dimensional rift and lost their way, becoming trapped there forever, they should all have been exiled to various other dimensions...
“Speaking of which,” Gun God Kurt also spoke up at this moment, “during the time my mother and I were in the otherworld of the capital, we once sensed the aura of another god.”
"Oh?" Lin Nai raised an eyebrow: "So, besides you, there should be other divine souls existing in the Capital City Otherworld?"
“That should be the case,” said Gunslinger Kurt. “But it was only for a moment; the aura disappeared very quickly.”
“Hmm…” Lin Nai touched her chin.
Okay, I understand.
"Besides that, there's one more thing."
Linnaeus paused, looking at the God of Guns and the God of Love: "I need to borrow your divine power."
Cupid bowed slightly and said respectfully, "We are very grateful for your help to our family. Whenever Lord Carlos needs it, our divine power is available for your use."
The gunslinger, Kurt, who was standing next to him, didn't say anything, but he nodded slightly.
