Liu Xinyue felt that her power seemed to have failed at this moment, and her ability to listen to the sounds of all things seemed to be unable to hear anything here.

This is not because her abilities are blocked here, but because there seems to be no "sound" here.

She looked around.

The water and sky are one color with no end in sight.

Under the vast blue sky, the water is sparkling.

The boundary between sky and water seems to be really blurred.

They blend at the end of sight, just as the poem says: The autumn water and the sky are the same color.

The few people who were here only felt endless emptiness and loneliness.

There is a sense of insignificance, like a mayfly in the universe, a grain of sand in the vast ocean.

In this pure and peaceful world.

Everyone subconsciously calmed down.

But when he thought of the words he had heard before, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly again.

The slightest movement of the feet creates ripples on the pure water surface.

Through the mirror-like water surface, everyone can see their own shocked faces reflected in the water.

They were shocked not only because the seemingly endless aura of life and death in the underground passage outside suddenly disappeared here.

It is even more because of the shocking words spoken by the old man named "Chang".

It was a level of horror that could not calm their hearts even though they were in an atmosphere of endless tranquility.

[This is... Shambhala, or the Hall of the Dead. ]

[Yong Zhou once tried to resurrect the dead here. ]

Those two short sentences made Ai Xin and Liu Xinyue's thoughts stop instantly.

The dead are resurrected? Did they hear it right? One is a relative who has just joined Everday for a few days, and the other is a genius who has just joined Everday for a day.

Although both of them had some understanding of Yong Zhou, they were still surprised by the words of this senior Yong Zhou, "Chang".

If this is the place to try to resurrect the dead.

Then it makes sense that it has been said since ancient times that this place is Shambhala, the paradise that holds the ultimate answers.

Because... there is no death here.

This is where death and rebirth meet.

If anything here is revealed, it will become a legend that will be passed down for thousands of years.

Countless writers and religious figures have written about it, and countless talented and ambitious people have embarked on a journey to find Shambhala.

At this moment, the two felt extremely shocked.

Ai Xin, in particular, couldn't help but feel excited after being shocked.

The dead are resurrected... so can her father, mother, and Uncle Marlo also be resurrected?

Realizing the possibility of this, Ai Xin couldn't help but hold his breath.

In addition to these two people, the other three veteran members of the organization beside them also frowned, with no less surprise than the two newcomers.

Don’t think that life and death can be easily understood just because Xuanzang and Bai Jingjing have experienced life and death.

It was because Xuanzang possessed a trace of immortality that it was possible for his spirit to maintain its own identity in the ocean of spiritual rules for a thousand years, and that he could be resurrected with the help of others.

Bai Jingjing was also a special case, she had never really died. The bones that made up Bai Jingjing were indeed left behind after a person died, and the other material was also part of the body of a race from the abyss that was extremely good at hiding and immortality.

She is indeed composed of a bunch of materials that have experienced death, but the spiritual personality Bai Jingjing itself has never died.

Therefore, there is an absolute rule in this world and even in the entire multiverse.

Without touching and realizing immortality, it is impossible to maintain one's self when the spirit returns to the ocean of spiritual rules after death.

There is no possibility of resurrection for creatures below the level of demigod.

If a resurrection occurs.

Or they are not dead at all, and have not yet reached the stage of spiritual return to the ocean of spiritual rules.

Either the one who survives is no longer the original owner.

This is one of the common rules in the multiverse, and it is an iron rule that is theoretically difficult to shake.

The resurrection of the dead that this "Intestine" is talking about at this moment is most likely not aimed at demigods and above.

For that kind of existence, all it takes is for a powerful person to awaken its spirit and retrieve it, then find a body to put it in.

It's like the resurrection of Xuanzang.

There is no need for Yong Zhou to make a special attempt.

Therefore, the resurrection that Senior Yong Zhou "Chang" mentioned should be aimed at creatures that do not yet have immortality.

Therefore, even Xuanzang and others felt surprised and solemn at this moment.

"So...Yong Zhou once tried to resurrect a creature without immortality here?"

"So... was it successful?"

As the representative of everyone, Xuanzang asked this question seriously.

If possible, Xuanzang also wants to resurrect someone...

If successful, then the former territory of Eternal Day that is now revived will truly become the so-called Shambhala.

The legend of Shambhala will no longer be mankind’s desire and yearning for a paradise beyond life and death.

Shambhala will be real.

This will be a holy place without death.

It is the ultimate answer for all living things.

It is the final destination that transcends life and death.

“This is a pretty old story.”

Chang pondered for a moment, then slowly began to tell the story.

In his description, an experiment that went against the will of heaven gradually unfolded before everyone.

【That was a long time ago.】

[The battle between the Abyss and Eternal Day brought a great deal of casualties and suffering. ]

[The sage of the eternal day named Wa proposed an experiment to try to revive the dead. ]

[As the Sage of Eternal Day with the strongest rules of life, she pushed the experiment to a climax with her own death. ]

[The experiment of the birth of all things began with Wa, and reached its climax with Wa's death. The cycle of life and death became the source of power for the beginning of this nascent world.]

[Then there was another large-scale invasion from the Abyss. Because the ancient sages of **** could not hold on and a hole was left, the cave was invaded and has been hiding from the world ever since. ]

"It's a pity that the experiment is still one step away from being terminated..."

"If the spirit does not have immortality, then once the spirit leaves the body, it will gradually and irreversibly lose its self and become part of the infinite spirit."

"We finally tried to give immortality to ordinary spirits, but this approach is almost against the will of heaven."

"Any spiritual creature must practice and comprehend on their own to realize immortality. The limit of artificial initiation is only to the peak of the third level of spiritual power."

Intestine spoke calmly.

Although the old man had a calm expression, one could faintly hear helplessness in his expression.

The people around him were moved.

Liu Xinyue vaguely understood that this was the origin of some kind of corpse creation myth, coming from the great sage in the eternal day - Wa.

This cave world came from the creation of Nuwa's corpse. The long underground passage may be a symbol of the snake god and intestines, which represent the power of transformation and reproduction. The endless power of life and death here also comes from the experiments that have been done here.

Combining the many myths that she knew, Liu Xinyue's thoughts were endless.

Ai Xin couldn't help but ask, "Is there no result at all?"

Everyone looked towards the intestines.

Waiting for his answer.

"Yes, I have."

"I, whose name is Chang, have learned a lot from the experiments. Just as the Chang represents the womb in mythology, my nine brothers and I have learned some of the power of transformation, reproduction, and death from Nuwa. However, among Nuwa's ten Changs, only I have realized immortality. After binding with the cave, I have reached the level of fourth-level spiritual power in the cave, and I cannot leave the cave at all. As for the other nine, they all disappeared in the long river of time."

"There is also the endless water of rebirth under the feet of this cave. Just soaking in it can repair most physical and spiritual injuries. This is also some of the results obtained from our experiments."

"besides……"

"We have managed to retain the autonomous consciousness of the deceased's spirits for a short period of time, but in the following period of time, apart from being able to communicate with them briefly, we can only helplessly watch them slowly return to the ocean of spiritual rules."

Intestine whispered.

When talking about himself, there was obviously a more obvious helplessness in his expression.

Indeed, his growth during the experiment can be regarded as one of the results of this experiment.

It’s a pity that the purpose of the experiment is to resurrect the dead and make immortality universal.

Rather than letting him realize immortality alone.

The miraculous restorative power of the water of rebirth on the body and spirit is also one of the results of this experiment, but it is not the core of the experiment.

Compared with Wa’s sacrifice, these achievements seem to be better than nothing.

The only small step towards resurrecting the dead is to temporarily preserve the deceased's spirit with independent consciousness.

It’s a pity that these dead spirits are like being marked with death. Even if they are preserved temporarily, they will return to the ocean of spiritual rules in the future.

Everyone fell silent after hearing this.

The boundary between life and death is difficult to cross, this is the most likely scenario.

It is unrealistic to make a breakthrough easily.

If I continue to ask with disappointment and expectation, it would be too disrespectful to the efforts of Chang and many Yong Zhou seniors.

There are too many people in this world who want to resurrect others, just like the Chang in front of him. Doesn’t he want to resurrect his nine senior brothers and Master Wa?

She should be more sensible.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Chang continued, "I first woke up a few days ago. At that time, the turbulent space led the lost cave to return."

"At that time, a huge amount of sandstorms appeared, and the Shambhala Cave Heaven also returned with it."

"The power of the newly returned cave can't affect the space blocked by the wind and sand for the time being, and I can't go out and do anything."

“Although I can’t get out, I can use the power of the cave to receive the spirits that have recently passed away within a radius of several hundred kilometers.”

"How long one can retain their consciousness depends on the strength of their spirituality. For those who died in the sandstorm, their consciousness can still be retained here for a few days."

The sound of the intestines fell.

Everyone subconsciously looked at Ai Xin.

Ai Xin, who wanted to be sensible, was also shocked after a moment of trance.

Could it be that? I can see my mother again here...

as well as!!!

"You mean..."

Ai Xin asked with some fear.

She was worried that she might have misunderstood and ended up being disappointed.

So, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

But the expectation in his eyes could not be hidden.

"Yes."

Chang nodded, giving an affirmative answer to the expectant and frightened Ai Xin.

The next moment, the voice of the intestine fell.

The surrounding scenery changed in an instant.

The pure and vast sea and sky are one color.

At this moment, the place went from quiet to lively.

The lively place is not the empty and lonely water surface, but the place beneath the water surface.

Suddenly, the reflections in the water were no longer of them.

Instead, they turned into stars like the night sky.

Looking down, I couldn't see my own reflection, but instead saw a pitch-black night sky and points of light moving around like fireflies.

At this moment, the water surface seemed to divide the entire cave world into two parts, upper and lower.

The above is daytime with only a few people.

Below is the dark night with endless twinkling lights.

This scene makes people feel as if they have fallen into a dream.

The scene at this moment brings everyone a dreamlike and shocking feeling, making people want to immerse themselves in it.

Liu Xinyue swallowed her saliva when she saw this scene. After coming here, she has been listening to the sounds of all things in silence without hearing anything.

At this moment the "voice" was heard again.

"I heard...life."

Liu Xinyue murmured.

That was the lively sound coming from beneath the water, from the infinite points of light.

There is regret, joy, and sadness...

Faintly, Liu Xinyue felt that she heard more.

That was just some gossip about family matters.

That is the triviality of daily life.

That is a friendship of mutual support.

That is the companionship of staying together forever.

This other world beneath the water is filled with countless people's voices.

That is the sound of living beings and life.

Combined with what Senior Chang just said.

Liu Xinyue vaguely realized that the infinite points of light beneath the water were the spirits whose consciousness was temporarily preserved, and they were the people who died in the wind and sand in PL County.

The next moment, everyone saw Ai Xin running out.

She ran on the water of afterlife, her eager movements causing ripples.

After a while, she lay down and stared at the light that seemed to be only separated from her by a surface of water.

She looked at the world beneath the water, and at the light that was about to come up, she could feel a familiar feeling.

In a trance, a figure blocking the attack of a sand wolf was still in front of her.

"mom……"

As she murmured, Ai Xin's eyes became moist.

The spots of light in the water were also swaying as if expressing something.

then.

It seemed as if each person and each point of light had established some kind of communication channel.

In the emotional resonance, Ai Xin wanted to enter the world beneath the water.

"Above the water of the dead is the world of the living, and below is another world."

"You can't get past it."

Intestine said in a low voice.

He didn't want to spoil the mood by saying this suddenly.

But the boundary between life and death is so clear in this cave.

This place gives people hope, but also despair.

It seems that the water and sky are one color, blurring the boundary between life and death.

In fact, life is life and death is death.

The surface of the water formed by the afterlife is like the physical boundary between life and death, separating the living from the dying spirits.

Strangers can only stand on the water and create ripples.

In fact, it is impossible to reach below the water surface, and the spirits waiting to die in the water can never reach the reality above the water surface.

Listen to the words of your intestines.

A trace of sadness flashed across Ai Xin's eyes.

Looking at the point of light that just resonated with me, conveyed a few moments of joy, and then began to dissipate.

There are indescribable complex emotions in my heart.

Although this could be considered as witnessing my mother's passing once again, my mother also resonated with me and conveyed many emotions just now.

This made Ai Xin, who had always said that she had let it go but had not yet gotten over it, feel deeply relieved.

Until the mother's emotional spirit disappeared.

Ai Xin slowly climbed up from the water.

She looked around, recalling the familiar feeling she had just had when she felt her mother.

Trying to find another person among the countless lost souls in the waters of the afterlife by reliving that inexplicable feeling of connection.

Just like before, she instantly found her mother's location among the thousands of spirits under the water.

Now she also wants to find another person in this way.

She ran.

only……

The ripples caused by this run were chaotic and disorderly, without a clear direction.

After a long time, she stopped.

Standing above the water.

Looking at the huge cave world, feeling the world where the dead live temporarily under the water of rebirth.

Ai Xin couldn't help but feel confused.

"Marlowe, I can't find you."
