"But we still have to hurry."
Isis was looking at Lin Ke at this time, and Lin Ke had to raise his head slightly to look into her eyes.
"Although the concept of time in the Resting Realm is different from that in the human world, the longer you stay, the greater the risk."
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, you are the King of Holy Egypt. Your safety comes first."
"Now, please follow us."
The three of them walked along the winding path, and the fog around them gradually became thinner.
Gradually, an open area appeared ahead.
Here stands a magnificent temple, yes, completely different from the dilapidated temples in the mortal world.
The temple here has taller columns, a steeper roof, and a doorway carved with faintly fluorescent patterns.
Even the knowledgeable Lin Ke couldn't help but stop and look at this temple for a while when he saw it.
"This is the temple, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"The essence of the living's sacrifices in the human world will be transmitted here through the underworld, maintaining the energy of the temple."
"This is the source of the power of faith, and it was also the main way we replenished our divine power in the past."
"And this way, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
Lin Ke looked in the direction Isis pointed, and soon he saw a boiling flame.
And around the flame, regular circles of light formed.
As the light got farther away from the center of the flame, it began to condense into smoke, and finally slowly searched for the bodies of the two supreme gods, and finally disappeared among the bodies of the two supreme gods.
"Is this the divine power bestowed upon you by the Prosperity of Holy Egypt?"
"There is only one way left to replenish your divine power."
Sure enough, after hearing Lin Ke's words, Isis nodded slightly.
"That's right, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"These divine powers are more abundant than ever before. The prosperity you have brought to Holy Egypt has been of great help to us."
"As long as you continue to bring prosperity to Holy Egypt, we will..."
When Lin Ke heard this, he just raised his hand and interrupted Isis.
He's almost tired of hearing similar words.
"Okay, there's no need to say any more of this."
"I didn't come here to hear you say that."
Just as Lin Ke was about to continue asking about the situation in the Resting Realm, Nephthys suddenly raised her head alertly.
Her gaze went further.
"elder sister."
"Here they come."
Almost at the same time, Isis also immediately looked in the direction where Nephthys was looking.
“They found out.”
"Your Majesty, Holy Pharaoh, no matter what happens, please stand behind us."
Lin Ke nodded, and then followed the gaze of the two gods.
Countless blurry figures emerged from the fog in the distance. Like a swarm of startled bees, they quickly gathered towards the location of the three people.
"What is that?"
Lin Ke narrowed his eyes, trying to identify the entities that were approaching quickly.
Although he already had a guess in his mind, he still needed to hear the responses from the two supreme gods.
As expected.
"The lost spirits of the dead."
Isis responded.
"Most of them are the spirits of the dead contaminated by the plague."
"They have lost the ability to reach their final destination and all reason, and can only chase after any energy fluctuations."
Nephthys slightly spread her arms, as if preparing to exert her divine power.
"Sister, take the Holy Pharaoh to the center of the temple first."
"I'll recharge the barrier first."
However, before the three could react, those figures had already broken through the fog in the distance, revealing their true faces.
There were hundreds, no, thousands, tens of thousands of humanoid "creatures".
Even Lin Ke didn't know whether he could still describe them as "living things". After all, they were neither alive nor dead now, but existed in another state.
However, their original human appearance can no longer be seen.
Their bodies are composed of thick black mist and gray matter, and their faces have only a vague black hole that serves as a mouth.
As for the eyes, there are two faint red lights.
Some retain some of their living features, such as fragments of clothing or jewelry, while others are completely twisted into grotesque shapes, with limbs excessively extended or fused.
They were like puppets with strings pulled, their movements mechanical and stiff, but they were approaching Lin Ke and his group at an astonishing speed.
Even Lin Ke had some doubts when he saw those "creatures" with his own eyes.
They are actually the citizens of Aswan?
Were they once human?
But in an instant, the space was immediately filled with uncomfortable noise.
It was neither a scream nor a roar, but a mixture between crying and roaring.
Simply put, it was like the pain of millions of people was compressed and exploded in an instant.
"Residence, protection."
Nephthys raised her arms and unleashed her divine power.
The first batch of souls of the dead collided with the barrier, igniting into ashes like moths to a flame, but more of them immediately filled the gap.
They attacked the barrier desperately, and every impact left a black mark on the barrier that looked like a "scar".
Lin Ke could feel that the barrier was under tremendous pressure. Many dents appeared on the purple surface, and a few wisps of black mist had even seeped in and evaporated in the air.
At this time, Lin Ke frowned slightly.
Something seems to be wrong.
"Why is this happening?"
"Isn't it safe here?"
Isis also used her divine power at this time, and she was unable to take Lin Ke to evacuate to the center.
“That’s true under normal circumstances.”
"But our brief absence has disrupted the balance of the entire resting world."
"These souls were supposed to stay in the border area, but now they have directly entered the core area."
Nephthys now raised her voice.
"Sister, I'll clear the way, and you continue to maintain the barrier."
"Holy Pharaoh, you move with us."
The three began to move towards the nearest temple, with the spirit of the dead following closely behind.
Lin Ke looked at those souls, and he could even feel the strong negative emotions emanating from these entities.
Pain, anger, confusion and emptiness.
Here, these emotions seemed to oppress his spirit like a substance.
He was looking at the two supreme gods at this time, and it was hard for him to imagine that they had been guarding in such a place for hundreds of centuries.
As they were about to reach the temple gate, a larger black shadow emerged from the fog.
It was a huge soul body that was several times the size of an ordinary deceased person. Its shape was even more vague, and a bright red eye was embedded in the center of its face, like burning coal.
"It's the Watcher!"
"It's been completely eroded!"
