Chapter 1090: The Mechanism of the Underworld

"Everything will eventually be destroyed, so everywhere can lead to the underworld."

Haro said seriously: "If we can find a deceased person in the underworld, we can follow the deceased person and go back to the place where he died. There are many star gods and dead servants in the star track, so it won't be too difficult to find him."

“In reality, there are a lot of limitations.”

It added: "Only the dead can enter the underworld. Furthermore, the normal passage is a one-way street from the outside to the underworld. If you want to go back in reverse, you will need to consume a lot of energy. The stronger the divine body of the person entering, the farther the reverse distance, and the greater the consumption. Most gods cannot afford this high cost, and it is not very meaningful, but it should be easy for you."

"There is another thing in the future. Once the upstream reaches the destination, it can only stay for a short time. Converted into 15 days in the real universe, it is 150 years in the crawling zone, and 1500 years in the border zone."

"The situation in the Trans-Limited Zone is special, and the motion states of different areas are different. Star Track needs to maintain the stability of the entire huge system, and must make the movement of the space in which it is located as slow as possible, closer to the time of the Crawling Zone."

Lu Yao was suddenly in a dilemma.

It would be fine if the stay time was short, but the only dead people available to the Yao clan were skeletons and ghosts. Even if they were successfully deployed to the Zodiac Star, it would be difficult to cause any waves.

It can be passed, but not completely passed.

Kind of stuck there.

The black cat on the table wagged its tail: "Why do we have to follow the rules of the underworld? The underworld is nothing more than a transit area for the laws and trajectories."

"The dead are sent there, and then sent into the tracks of other laws. Eventually, after a series of transformations, they become part of [life]. Whether they are alive or dead, they are just different forms of energy or matter in the laws."

"Lord Yaoshen, with your strength, you can completely break this law track and then use satellites to launch it. Rules are to constrain ordinary people. The strong are always above the rules and can change the rules at any time as needed."

The black cat looked at the three-headed dog on the ground: "No offense, I am just stating a fact. The Spirit King was like this in the past, and Xinggui is also like this now. Of course, Lord Yaoshen can do the same."

Harrow was silent.

This gave Lu Yao a reminder that Cerberus could not reveal the contents of the underworld, but he could learn about it through the Star of Monsters.

He asked the black cat, "What is the situation in the underworld?"

Siguixing blinked: "According to the conclusion of the zodiacal star track, the underworld is a special spatial structure constructed by the laws of [destruction] and [death]. It is located on the side of truth and is wrapped in a mature huge cyst, so it can maintain long-term stability and relative independence."

"A large number of tracks of these two laws intersect and overlap, forming a special structure covering the cyst, which is the Styx. When the dead enter the Styx, they will be gradually dissolved from the inside out, first as the memory, consciousness, and survival instinct that are the characteristics of life... eventually they become part of the Styx."

"As for the God of the Underworld, he is the self-will of the capsule. He cannot tell the key information of the underworld to the outside world. It is also the constraint of the capsule. If it is violated, it will be struck by the law and completely destroyed."

Lu Yao's brows relaxed after hearing this.

So this is what the underworld is like.

"You have so many domesticated polycystic complexes. Once you enter the underworld, you can use them to build a dedicated channel and send the people you want to the various celestial bodies in the star track."

Black Cat added: “As a stakeholder and former practitioner, I personally suggest that you start with the third-class star.”

"Orion's mechanism is good at coordination and overall planning, but lacks experience and feasible measures in specific industrial fields, and its control over third-magnitude stars is the weakest."

"In fact, there are many things that can be used for third-magnitude stars. They don't have a strict self-examination mechanism, and only consider the basic process and result feedback of the operation. As long as the third-magnitude star is modified to a certain extent, it can be mastered manually. The North Claw Star Officer is definitely not unfamiliar with this."

It grinned, revealing its sharp fangs, and gently waved its claws: "If we use the influence of the third-magnitude star to cut off the connection between the second-magnitude star and the star track, according to relevant regulations, we can directly replace the faulty second-magnitude star and obtain the functions and powers of the second-magnitude star."

Si Guaixing proposed to go deep behind enemy lines and deactivate the second-class star, so that the orders from the first-class star could not be passed down to the grassroots level, so as to lock down Orion and put it in a desperate situation where it was surrounded by enemies and its government orders could not go beyond the inner circle.

Lu Yao thought.

The people who know the star trails best are the people of Zodiac.

However, everything must be based on the actual situation.

Lu Yao first summoned Isabel and asked her to look after the house and keep an eye on the Siguai Star. Then he switched to a yellow-armored body and entered the virtual universe with Harrow.

…

Coming to the underworld from the Kunlun Gate again, Lu Yao found that everything was the same as before. There was fog floating everywhere all year round, and the whole world seemed hazy and unclear.

Harrow said, "I'll go ask Mr. Charon for help. He's best at finding the dead."

Then it raised its head and howled.

The ferryman did not appear immediately, but the cry attracted another person.

The Supreme Pure Spirit Lord, dressed in yellow, came over lightly.

The former Queen Mother of the West looked at Lu Yao and said, "Are you here to look for someone?"

Lu Yao told her about the current situation.

The other party seemed to be thinking: "The Zodiac Star Track declared war on the gods... Then you have to be careful of the [Five Broken Stars]."

"【Five Broken Stars】is a very special force. It can pry open the power of laws, but it also has certain characteristics of life... Based on my observation and understanding, the Five Broken Stars have a clear self-will, which is completely different from the Morning Star."

"The Five Fragile Stars can transform the laws to a certain extent through themselves, and can use the [Five Punishments] almost without restrictions."

“Once it’s turned on, it will be hard to stop.”

Lu Yao couldn't help but think that the leader of the Law Demon was killed instantly by the Five Remnants, which led to the group being leaderless. The Law Demon clan lost its most critical cohesion and decision-maker, and eventually became a pile of loose sand and completely collapsed.

He said: "As far as I know, the Five Remnant Stars also have triggering restrictions. They can only be activated when the star track is attacked by external forces."

“I’m not sure about this.” The former Queen Mother of the West showed a look of reminiscence: “But I know there is a way to deal with its attack.”

Lu Yao quickly asked for advice.

"The old gods and the dead are not afraid of the Five Fragile Stars."

The woman in yellow said solemnly, "If you are targeted, the easiest way is to become an old god and die on the spot."

Lu Yao: “…”

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Before the enemy kills me, I kill myself, so the enemy will fail, right? This method sounds too outrageous, but it seems to be useful.

Lu Yao asked: "But isn't it the same if you die?"

The previous Queen Mother of the West waved her hand and said, "It's different. If the living transform into the dead, they can get rid of the lock of the Five Cruel Stars, because the final punishment of the Five Punishments is death. The dead can trigger this judgment, making them unselectable. It was only after I used the Five Cruel Stars in battle for a long time that I discovered this flaw in the mechanism."

"Although the dead don't have the growth potential of the living, they still exist. It's much better than being hunted by the Five Remnant Stars."

Lu Yao thought so too.

That's one way.

The other party continued to teach his little tricks: "Old Gods are even simpler. You should know that once a god enters the [Death] track, he will become an Old God and will be sent here by the law. This is the so-called fall of a god. This process is basically irreversible."

"In the underworld, the power and reputation of the old gods' faith will continue to decline. As the population returns to zero, it will eventually lead to the demise of self-consciousness."

"But as long as there is a believer alive, the old god will not disappear. Normally, a new successor to the title appears, and the old god is completely replaced and then returns to the Styx."

"The old gods are here. With your ability, you can definitely find them back. Although it will cost a lot to take the old gods away from the underworld, and it will make them close to death, but you must have a way."

Lu Yao came into contact with the group of Old Gods very early, but he only now understands the internal mechanism of the Old Gods.

"Thank you very much."

The other party didn't care: "You're welcome, we are all from the same lineage, and I also hope that the successors can live a better life."

Lu Yao also returned the favor: "Unfortunately, I have no news about Dong Wanggong's follow-up. I don't know where he has gone."

He asked Kali and Cecilia to check, and found that Dong Wanggong, who had hidden in hell as General Qing, seemed to have evaporated and never showed up again.

“I know His situation.”

The Supreme Pure Spirit Yuanjun said: "He has taken refuge with the Zodiac Star Track and is serving as a star god at the [Heavenly Works Zhewei Star], relying on his status as a star god to obtain the protection of the star track."

Lu Yao was stunned when he heard this.

This Dong Wanggong has first-class running ability and can always find new blue oceans to develop.

"But from what I know about Him, He will not be an honest Star God."

Supreme Pure Spirit Yuanjun sneered: "Everything that Dong Wanggong did was to become a transcendent being. Now that Xinggui is powerful, he relies on his identity as a star god, but if Xinggui becomes weak, he will be the first rebel to seize resources."

At this time, the three-headed dog Haro ran over and said, "Found it. We found the dead of Xinggui! There are a lot of them. There have been a lot more recently. Most of them are void creatures that were once turned into slaves. They are all willing to cooperate."

Lu Yao looked back and saw the ferryman Charon's boat parked on the sea behind the three-headed dog.

There are translucent black shadows on the boat, which look like the images of the dead in the underworld.

"They also revealed an important piece of information."

Haro said seriously, "Orion is digging up and gathering old gods everywhere, and has sealed hundreds of old gods on second-class stars. Those old gods have been transformed and put on a strange crown. The star track requires the servants to worship, praise and make wishes to them."

"These transformed old gods displayed extremely terrifying power, and disappeared after the ceremony was completed. The servants suspected that these strange old gods went to the border zone, because their power seemed to be related to the strength and number of lives that made wishes..."

Lu Yao's heart sank.

Orion finally couldn't help but use the benevolent master.
