The pillar of light in the stone pool gradually dissipated, and the three figures also disappeared into the temple.
At this moment, Lin Ke felt that the scene around him was spinning dizzily, and the surrounding scenery was distorted and changing like reflections in the water.
When his vision cleared again, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar space.
Obviously, this is the "resting realm" mentioned by the two supreme gods.
Different from the rumored underworld, and also different from any corner of the human world, the resting world is a gray area between light and darkness.
There are no stars or sun in the sky here.
It is neither eternal night nor endless day, but a state of twilight that is neither bright nor dark, like an eternal sunset.
There was a light mist in the air, but if you looked closely, you could tell that it was not ordinary water vapor.
They are the embodiment of certain emotions of the deceased.
Because, in every wisp of mist, you can vaguely see the outline of a human face, sometimes crying, sometimes smiling.
Although it looked very strange, it was not scary compared to the horrific scenes Lin Ke had seen in the past.
"Sister, this Holy Pharaoh?"
Nephthys looked at Lin Ke with a little confusion at this time. Obviously, she didn't understand why this holy pharaoh could really come to this "resting world".
"Your body didn't react at all?"
"Not even the contraction of the skin and the dilation of the pupils?"
"How is this possible?"
The two gods surrounded Lin Ke, carefully examining this "visitor" from the human world.
They paced around Lin Ke, as if to confirm that the person standing in front of them was not an illusion or a figment of their imagination.
Nephthys gently reached out her hand and touched Lin Ke's body, and then she withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted.
Even Isis made a sound like exclamation.
“Incredible.”
"The power contained within you should not exist in the same mortal body."
"That is the resonance of multiple divine powers, and each force remains independent without conflicting or devouring each other."
"This simply violates the basic laws of divine power."
"Are you truly not a mortal? Holy Pharaoh?"
Lin Ke calmly accepted the scrutiny of the gods. He could feel that every cell in his body was emitting a faint glow, like a lit lantern.
"I am indeed not an ordinary person."
"It's enough for you to know that I can travel to different realms."
“Not everything can be explained by laws.”
Of course, the reason why Lin Ke said this was because he had seen many things happen that violated the laws of physics or the laws of the world.
In other words, in some very rare cases, things that transcend the laws do exist.
It was as if time had stood still when Lin Ke saw it in Satan's space.
Isis listened to Lin Ke's words and just nodded slightly.
"You are right, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"Normally, if a living being enters the Resting Realm, they will be immediately rejected or corrupted by the environment."
"And you, your body hasn't changed at all."
Nephthys tilted her head and looked at Lin Ke's body again.
"Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that you once awakened Osiris. Hades' approval has given you some kind of immunity."
Lin Ke shrugged, he didn't care about it.
What he cared about was what exactly this "resting world" was.
"I just saw that the mist seemed to be distorted into the shape of a human."
"What are those things?"
When Isis heard Lin Ke's words, she looked at the cloud of mist.
"Those are the memories of the deceased. Every soul that leaves this world abnormally leaves a part of themselves here."
"So, as you can see, Holy Pharaoh."
"Most of these are the spiritual relics of the people of Aswang."
Lin Ke nodded and continued to observe the surrounding environment.
Unlike the imagined hell or heaven, the terrain of the Resting Realm is actually not much different from the human world.
There are rolling mountains in the distance and gurgling streams nearby.
There were even trees and date palms, but all the plants were a uniform silver-gray color, like a forest illuminated by moonlight.
“It’s very similar to the human world, but completely different.”
Nephthys stood beside Link and began to explain.
"The flow of time here is out of sync with that on earth. Sometimes a day is equivalent to a year on earth, and sometimes it may be just a moment."
"That has to do with the flow of energy here."
Lin Ke noticed that his "Ankh" necklace emitted a faint orange light here, and the bandage on his wrist became more emerald green.
The reactions of these artifacts here indicate that the world of rest does indeed have energy laws that are completely different from those in the human world.
The "divine weapons" of the two supreme gods seemed to be releasing a little bit of divine power.
"Your Majesty, Holy Pharaoh, this is neither the world of the living nor the realm of the dead in the traditional sense, Duat."
Duat, the underworld.
Isis continued to explain.
“This is a transition, a bridge, and a place where memories are stored.”
"Under normal circumstances, souls pass through here and then continue on their way to their final destination."
"But now..."
Isis paused again.
It seemed there was no way to go on.
Nephthys continued to speak on behalf of her sister.
"But now the cycle of reincarnation has been broken, and the soul is trapped here, unable to move forward, and unable to truly rest."
"As we said before."
Only then did Lin Ke notice that the swirling mist was not static.
They are slowly gathering towards the center, forming vague human-shaped outlines.
These seem to be the souls of the dead trapped here.
In other words, part of it is not mist, but the "entity" of the spirit of the dead.
At this moment, the appearance of Isis and Nephthys began to change.
They revealed their complete divine essence.
Isis became taller and more sacred, wearing a crown of bull horns and a sun disk on her head. Lin Ke knew that those features symbolized fertility, abundance and maternal love.
Her eyes sparkled like stars, and she looked at Lin Ke with a gentle and tolerant look.
In contrast, the image of Nephthys is more mysterious and intimidating.
She wore a feather crown on her head and a tight-fitting dress, and her posture was elegant yet sad.
Unlike the warm tones of Isis, Nephthys is dressed in a combination of dark purple and silver, symbolizing the night sky and moonlight.
Her eyes were filled with compassion, yet also like a judge who could see through souls.
Simply put, it makes people feel a little desolate and cold.
Lin Ke looked at the two supreme gods and just blinked slightly.
That's what the Supreme God looks like!
