The realm of gods.
"Is the scenery in the realm of gods always this beautiful?"
Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao walked through a green field. Chi Chen looked at the continuous green mountains in the distance and the colorful flowers in front of him. He felt that the air in this God Realm was much fresher than that on Earth. Here, there was no technology or skyscrapers like on Earth, but there was a unique scenery.
Chi Chen believed that this divine realm was no different from the worlds in those fantasy novels on Earth, except that it lacked a bit of human presence.
"Is the scenery nice?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of sadness flashed in Hu Miaomiao's eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Chi Chen noticed something was wrong with the girl beside him and turned to ask.
"It's alright, you'll find out tonight!"
Hu Miaomiao said something that puzzled Chi Chen, but Chi Chen didn't pay much attention to it and continued to ask;
Is it really possible for us to return to Earth?
"Yes, as long as we can find the teleportation platform, we can go back!"
Hu Miaomiao nodded and led Chi Chen in another direction.
As Chi Chen watched Hu Miaomiao's retreating figure, he suddenly felt a pang of sadness emanating from her. At this moment, Hu Miaomiao seemed like a somewhat bewildered child. Chi Chen could guess that Hu Miaomiao might originally be from this divine realm, but now that she had returned home, Chi Chen couldn't detect any excitement in her. Although Hu Miaomiao hid it well, Chi Chen still sensed a trace of desolation in her.
Last night, although Chi Chen learned a lot about the God Realm from Hu Miaomiao, Hu Miaomiao chose not to tell him some important things. Therefore, Chi Chen did not know what had happened in the God Realm, nor did he know why Hu Miaomiao went to Blue Star.
But Chi Chen had a feeling that his encounter with Hu Miaomiao on Blue Star was probably not entirely a coincidence. Chi Chen knew that Hu Miaomiao was hiding many things from him, but Chi Chen didn't care because he believed that Hu Miaomiao would not harm him, otherwise he would probably have died several times over.
Chi Chen believed that he would one day completely uncover the secrets of this mysterious girl.
Are there other people in this realm of gods?
Along the way, apart from the green mountains and clear waters, Chi Chen saw almost no signs of human activity. Apart from the dilapidated thatched hut where he and Hu Miaomiao had lived before, Chi Chen did not see any other human-made products.
This puzzled Chi Chen greatly. Although the natives of the God Realm were all pure souls, according to Hu Miaomiao, although there was no technology here, the lifestyle of the God Realm was no different from that of the ancient people on Blue Star. However, they had walked from dawn to dusk, but Chi Chen had not seen any signs of the natives' lives.
They only encountered a few soul beasts that looked like field mice along the way. Naturally, those unlucky soul beasts are now hanging behind Chi Chen by a rope made of grass. This is their dinner tonight.
Although Chi Chen is currently only a soul, according to Hu Miaomiao, he still needs to eat and needs to use soul beasts to replenish his soul power. Otherwise, over time, Chi Chen will slowly lose his mind, become a vengeful spirit, and then slowly dissipate into the world.
Chi Chen thought to himself, "This is probably what they call the conservation of energy!"
No matter what world you live in, if you want to survive, you need to obtain the energy you need in various ways. Once a person dies, it seems like there is nothing unusual, just the end of life. But Chi Chen knows that after a person dies, a certain kind of energy in their body will return to the world and maintain the stability of the energy of the entire world.
This is something that any person with forbidden abilities realizes after awakening: spiritual power, which seems to be the continuous growth of the human body, is actually energy drawn from the world, and the physical body is merely the vessel that carries that power.
This can be seen from the special forbidden ability of the Nordic theater; after their death, the holy light would turn into visible energy points and return to the outside world.
"Perhaps when the energy that the human body can bear reaches a certain limit, the world will change, and the world will suppress individuals according to its own operating rules!"
Thinking of the strange phenomena caused by the battle between Zhang Rong and Lucifer in Dawn City that day, Chi Chen had a sudden realization.
Why could the Monkey King, Nuwa, and the Emperor of Fengdu, who were clearly true deities, ultimately only reside within their own bodies? Perhaps it wasn't entirely due to the constraints of those divine statues, but rather because the highest individual power that Earth could bear was only at the Shengyang Realm or the Half-Step God Realm.
This also explains why, on Earth, there seems to have never been a powerful being who has truly reached the divine realm.
No, perhaps there is one!
Chi Chen thought of the figure in the image that went towards the sky where black liquid flowed out, and then completely disappeared on the blue planet.
Previously, Chi Chen might have thought he was truly dead.
After all, his forbidden ability, 'Hope,' has now come to him.
But now, Chi Chen felt that the man might not be dead.
Could it be that he, like himself, has become a complete soul and is now residing in some corner of this world?
Thinking of this, Chi Chen also recalled the giant black hand he saw from under the sky, which looked like it was made of pitch-black mud, in the last moment after he transformed into a lotus and his consciousness completely dissipated. On that palm, Chi Chen felt an even purer dark aura than that on Lucifer.
Even now, the memory of that feeling still makes Chi Chen feel nauseous.
"There are some things that we shouldn't think about right now. If you really want to understand them, then keep improving your strength. In the end, even if you no longer want to actively try to understand them, they will come to you on their own!"
Hu Miaomiao noticed Chi Chen's unusual behavior and said, "Some things, if you don't have the corresponding ability, knowing them too early will only make you feel like you're being crushed by a mountain."
"As for whether there are still people in the realm of gods, I don't know!"
Hu Miaomiao muttered to herself, after all, whether those things could still be considered human was something even she herself didn't know.
Finally, just before sunset, Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao spotted a small village with only ten mud houses beside a stream.
To Chi Chen's disappointment, there was no one in the village. The entire village had been abandoned for who knows how long and looked dilapidated.
Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao chose a relatively well-preserved small house. After a quick dusting, it was already completely dark.
"Waaaaah!"
Outside, with the doors and windows tightly shut, the wind seemed to be howling again, with a constant wailing sound.
This made Chi Chen feel a little strange again. Why does the wind start blowing so strong at night in the God Realm?
Last night, inside that thatched hut, the wind outside never stopped.
However, Chi Chen had asked Hu Miaomiao, but Hu Miaomiao did not answer him.
Chi Chen sat by the fire, carefully roasting a soul beast. Looking at the neatly arranged bottles and jars containing various seasonings beside him, Chi Chen's lips twitched involuntarily.
Who would have thought that they could have an indoor BBQ under these circumstances?
If Hu Miaomiao's Shadow Gate had a life of its own, it would surely complain that its master used it to store these things.
However, seeing Hu Miaomiao carefully checking whether the doors and windows were properly secured, and even using a wooden stick to prop the door shut again, made Chi Chen even more certain that there was something strange going on in the night of the God Realm.
Chi Chen couldn't understand what use a wooden stick could be if there was real danger.
Also, Hu Miaomiao didn't tell me about the strangeness of the night in the God Realm, probably because she wanted to see me make a fool of myself.
But, beautiful girl, do you really think you can't see anything when you do these things?
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
After Hu Miaomiao finished everything, she sat down by the fire, gazing longingly at the soul beast that was already emitting a fragrant aroma, wondering why Chi Chen was looking at her like that.
"It's nothing, eat!"
Chi Chen shook his head, tore off a leg from a soul beast, and handed it to Hu Miaomiao.
This girl is sometimes incredibly smart, and other times she seems a bit slow on the uptake.
At night, after the two finished eating the soul beast, they each lay down on a wooden bed to rest.
"Knock knock knock!"
In his daze, Chi Chen seemed to hear someone knocking on the door.
Who is it?
Chi Chen seemed to mutter something to himself at home before suddenly sitting up, realizing where he was.
Then, Chi Chen turned his head and saw Hu Miaomiao sleeping comfortably opposite him.
Chi Chen's lips twitched. He dismissed the idea that it was Hu Miaomiao's prank, but now that you're sleeping so soundly, what was the point of all those actions you did earlier?
Outside the door, no one responded to Chi Chen's calls; only the mournful sound of a strong wind howling.
Chi Chen waited for a while, but heard no more noise. He assumed it was just a pebble blown by the wind hitting the door, so he lay down to sleep again.
In this realm of gods, in order to maintain the stability of the soul, sufficient rest is even more necessary, and this is what Hu Miaomiao told Chi Chen.
"Knock knock knock!"
But before Chi Chen could close his eyes, there was another knock on the door.
"who?!!"
Chi Chen sat up with a start, his heart pounding. Could there really be something outside the door?
