Chapter 579: Gris, why are you so lazy after a while?
Everything is afraid of comparison.
It is like comparing people will make you die, and comparing goods will make you throw them away.
While the team led by Gris was beaten to the point of having their scalps numb and struggling to move forward, the actions of Lu Wenwu and his group could be described as an outing.
An employee who knew the underworld very well took out a small flag from somewhere and held it in his hand. He also put on a "Little Bee" loudspeaker and walked in front with his head held high.
On the small flag were written in blood-red font: Sunset Red Travel Group One-Day Tour to the Underworld.
If you ignore the heroes who are participating in the event and the horrific environment that is like a sea of blood and corpses, this team does look a bit like a tour group.
Including the Martial Saint Qingtian, these pillars of the human race had long lost their previous nervousness. Led by Lu Wenwu, they all looked at the unique environment around them with great interest, and collected some local specialties that Lu Wenwu had killed.
Visiting the underworld, a place where, in mythology and legend, only the dead can return, is truly a unique experience in the world.
Lu Wenwu walked backwards, explaining very professionally, "Everyone, pay attention. This grand, half-broken city gate before us is the legendary Ghost Gate, the true gateway to the underworld."
"After a person dies, the Black and White Impermanence will lead their soul here to prevent it from being forced to stay in the human world for various reasons, which would eventually cause the soul to scatter and be unable to enter the next life."
"Hmm, it seems the underworld system here isn't that perfect yet. It might be easy for mistakes to occur in the guidance of souls, leading to some unpleasant things."
"Mr. Lu, I have a question."
Doutian Wusheng raised his hand and asked questions honestly like an obedient primary school student.
After receiving Lu Wenwu's confirmation, he asked, "If the underworld really exists, does that mean we have a chance to see our fallen relatives and friends? Or even resurrect them?"
"Fighting Heaven Martial Saint asked a very insightful question, which involves many aspects."
Lu Wenwu replied with a smile.
"First of all, if the underworld is functioning normally and the souls of your relatives and friends are intact, you do have a chance to see the souls of your deceased relatives and friends."
"After death, the soul enters the Ghost Gate, follows the Yellow Spring Road, and passes through various trials such as the Yellow Spring Road, Golden Rooster Mountain, and Evil Dog Ridge, all the way to Fengdu City to be judged by the Ten Kings of Hell."
"By the way, the chickens on Jinji Mountain don't lay eggs, so there's no need to try."
"The dogs in the Evil Dog Territory are afraid of evil people. If you die in the future, you can go back to the Evil Dog Territory and beat up the dogs to pass the level without any damage."
"Once you arrive in Fengdu City, you will line up and wait to enter the Ten Palaces to be judged by the Ten Kings of Hell."
"The souls of those confirmed as having died unjustly in the Book of Life and Death will be returned to the City of the Unjustly Dead. Once a sufficient number of people have gathered, they will collectively return to the world of the living and be reborn."
"The guilty will be sent to the Eighteen Levels of Hell to live in prison. The innocent will have their life span determined based on their blessings and merits in life. After completing the entire process of the Ten Courts, they will be registered as ghosts, which means they are eligible to live in the Ghost Realm Castle."
"Only at this time can a living soul truly be called a ghost, marking the end of this life. From then on, it will no longer have any connection with its earthly self in this life, and begin its own ghost life."
"You can either live out your life in the underworld in a dismal way and wait for random assignment to reincarnate; or you can work hard and pass the exam to become a civil servant in the underworld like me and become a glorious ghost messenger; or you can work hard to complete the quota, accumulate good karma and merits, and strive to be reborn in a good way in your next life."
"By the way, if you're interested in becoming a ghost messenger after death, I personally recommend going to the Wangchuan Ghost Food Research Institute. The boss there is Meng Po. She's very nice and easy to talk to. Sorry, my occupational disease kicked in and I forgot the difference between the two places."
"Well, anyway, this is the specific process of what happens in the underworld after death."
The Divine Martial Saint was thoughtful: "Mr. Lu, you are talking about the underworld when it is operating normally. What about the current situation?"
"Even the Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons and the Black and White Impermanence were killed. This is obviously not normal."
Lu Wenwu shrugged helplessly.
"If anyone here has a passing knowledge of archaeology, they should be able to tell that the bronze door outside has accumulated an incredibly long history, surpassing the age of human civilization by an incalculable number of years."
"I've told you before that Ghost Gate is the true gateway to the underworld. Someone sealed that bronze door from the outside to completely isolate the underworld from the outside world."
"So, unfortunately, although the legend of the underworld has been passed down among the human race, since at least the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, this underworld has been completely sealed and shut down, let alone shouldering the responsibility of reincarnation."
"It's a pity."
"The reason why the Blue Stars of various planes are so powerful is that they all have underworlds that govern the six realms of reincarnation."
"This means that not only will new souls be born among the human race, but there will also be a continuous stream of reincarnated souls that have experienced countless years of tempering and sedimentation."
"The soul gradually becomes stronger over time. Even though every memory is erased after death, the soul's foundation will continue to grow stronger. This is reflected in the newborn as a demon or a young genius."
"So our purpose this time is not just to thwart the aliens' conspiracy, but also to eliminate as many of their living forces as possible."
"We must also do our utmost to regain control of the underworld, get this super foundation belonging to humanity back into operation, and shoulder the mission of reviving the human race."
"Every minute this thing is down is a huge loss."
"So that's how it is." The Martial Saint Yushen sighed, with a look of regret on his face.
The excitement of the other martial saints in touring the underworld gradually subsided.
It seems that the comrades who died in the battle can no longer be resurrected.
After all, only a few are qualified to be named as the Earthly One and be resurrected through the path of incense and gods.
Sure enough, going against the will of heaven is a luxury.
Just like the ancient emperors all pursued the illusory immortality.
"It's just that you can't resurrect the dead, so just be open-minded."
Lu Wenwu patted the thin old man's shoulder earnestly and comforted him.
"Even if you can be resurrected, you won't be able to withstand the backlash of violating the rules of the underworld."
"Believe me, even if the Sky-lifting Martial Saint did this, he would still die suddenly."
"It's just some extravagant hopes." The Imperial Martial Saint sighed and shook his head. "If we can resurrect all our former comrades, the success rate of our plan to completely wipe out the alien race will skyrocket. Our generation should have the chance to see the day of peace."
"Can't we do it now? Mr. Lu previously announced that he would join us in a counterattack after this operation." Doutian Wusheng curled his lips. "You old coward, you're only destroying your own ambitions to boost the prestige of others. Mr. Lu, Master Bao, and Maomao have all helped us this far. If we can't invade the alien race's home planet, you might as well die as an apology!"
The corner of Yushen Wusheng's mouth twitched: "Reckless man, I said the success rate would increase dramatically, not that it would not be possible!"
"It's all the same." Doutian Wusheng touched his head and laughed.
"Speaking of alien races, there's something I've always been concerned about." Lu Wenwu joined the group chat. "I don't know if you've noticed, but there aren't any alien races among these obsessions. Those with animal limbs are demons, not the alien races we're familiar with. Not a single one."
"I've discovered it, but I don't understand the reason." Sky-lifting Martial Saint also joined in. "Also, since the early days of the spiritual energy revival, I've discussed the topic of alien races with that lunatic who likes to play with his eyes."
"What topic?" Doutian Wusheng was confused.
"Race!"
The Martial Saint Qingtian did not hide anything and spoke directly.
"Have you never noticed that whether it's the higher-level alien races or the lower-level alien races, their corresponding prototypes are all very ordinary creatures?"
"Except for that idiot Doutian, everyone should understand, right?" Yushen Wusheng rolled his eyes at the idiot beside him. "That's why I've always been pessimistic about the counterattack. These 'ordinary' races are already so powerful. If their true forms were ferocious beasts like lions, tigers, leopards, or wolves, wouldn't we be doomed?"
"According to the information I received, no. What I gave you is all the racial information."
Lu Wenwu stroked his chin, and a hint of thought also flashed in his eyes.
"What the Divine Controlling Martial Saint and the Sky-supporting Martial Saint said is exactly what I want to say. To put it bluntly, these alien races seem to be a gift naturally prepared for my Spiritual Chef lineage."
"Not only does it contain immense amounts of energy and nutrients, but the ingredients used in its body are also commonly eaten by us Blue Star people. I don't even need to develop new recipes; I can just modify the old ones and use them directly."
"Didn't I say before that after defeating an alien race, consuming the fire of their civilization can directly wipe out their intelligence, so I took advantage of the situation and raised many alien races that were heavily transformed into beasts?"
"After these guys were raised, although they were still powerful, they were all very obedient and followed the management of my puppets. It was much easier than raising ordinary livestock."
"It feels like they were meant to be raised like livestock to be slaughtered, so that fresh food can be readily available."
"This, this, this, this... This is a bit too shocking!"
Doutian Wusheng's eyes widened, and his face showed a strong expression of disbelief.
"How could those alien races be captive livestock and food? If that were the case, wouldn't we have been nearly wiped out by a single dish? I absolutely don't believe that's the reason."
Reason told him that he should believe it.
Emotions told him that he couldn't believe it.
Not only Doutian Martial Saint could not accept it, several other Martial Saints also could not accept this conclusion.
If aliens are livestock, then what are our comrades who died over the years?
"Alright, everyone, cheer up! If you don't believe it, then don't believe it. What's the big deal?" Sky-lifting Martial Saint scolded in a deep voice, "Mr. Lu is just proposing a hypothesis. Look at you all! What a mess! Pay attention! Don't lose face!"
"It's time to cheer up. We've caught up with Skeleton and the others and are almost reaching our destination."
Lu Wenwu didn't care whether these guys accepted it or not. He just explained some of the things he had discovered and made reasonable guesses about them.
We passed by Jinji Mountain, where there were only two or three chickens left, big or small, and more than half of it had collapsed.
I passed by a place where no new vicious dogs had been bred, and there was only a group of obsessed people fighting each other.
We passed by the Wild Ghost Village where there were no wandering ghosts blocking the road and robbing people, but only fighting between obsessed bodies.
The Fengdu City, which has remained magnificent and majestic for millions of years, is now within sight.
Although it looks a bit old and rustic due to the passage of time, it already presents a sense of majestic grandeur.
This is the very center of the entire underworld, and it is also the place where the obsessed entities fight most brutally and ferociously.
In the entire underworld, apart from the obsessive body, there are no other souls or ghosts.
The power of the soul is an excellent tonic for the obsessive body.
Even if a powerful person falls and only his soul remains, and he is suppressed by the rules of the underworld, he cannot escape the pursuit of the obsession body, and cannot be defeated in terms of combat power.
There is no other outcome except being devoured and becoming the energy that drives the body to fight.
This horrific war, which had lasted for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, swept across the entire underworld and broke out in countless spaces.
Even though the underworld was once overrun with ghosts.
But in the process of fighting between the seal and the obsession body, they were gradually eaten up.
This resulted in neither Gris nor Lu Wenwu being able to collect many souls after crossing the first half of the underworld.
Lu Wenwu's side is fine, but the benefits to the Martial Saints will be smaller.
Gris is in a difficult situation.
Soul power is an impeccable and excellent tonic for him.
Originally, he planned to enter the underworld and capture souls on the spot for replenishment and improvement, so that he could fulfill Lu Wenwu's habit of eating people after beating them.
Unfortunately, no one expected that the people inside were almost out of their minds.
What haven't I seen?
(crossed out)
I have never seen such a situation!
Before Lu Wenwu took the Blue Star Sunset Red Senior Travel Group to travel around the mountains and rivers and bid farewell to the obsessive beings belonging to the original underworld, and arrived at Fengdu Ghost City, they saw a very funny scene.
Gris was commanding his alien warriors, corpse puppets and zombies to resist the indiscriminate attack of the obsession body while taking advantage of the chaos to attack the gate of Fengdu City.
Facing this core palace connected to the entire underworld, no matter how great Gris's home advantage is, it cannot play a corresponding role.
He can't open the door of Fengdu City!
This made him very anxious.
Gris could clearly feel that the Dongyue Emperor Seal that he had longed for was right in Fengdu City.
As long as he can open this damn restriction and let him enter, he can get the Dongyue Emperor Seal and condense the mythical anchor point.
The world is so big, you can go everywhere!
Just as Gris was struggling, a hearty voice suddenly appeared in his ears.
"Hey, hey, isn't it Gris who's home? What's going on? Can't get into the bedroom without the house key?"
