Compared to ordinary ghosts, hungry ghosts have no special attributes and are even weaker than ordinary ghosts.
However, the talents of hungry ghosts differ from those of ordinary ghosts. They can accumulate energy and even evolve by eating properly, and they also possess a burst-type talent that allows them to briefly gain powerful strength.
Ye Chen could imagine that these two talents were given to hungry ghosts with weaker soul power so that they could kill living beings and then eat them.
As a flawed ghost, the hungry ghost cannot enjoy incense offerings, and cannot be granted a position in the underworld before she sheds her status as a hungry ghost.
Of course, other ghosts cannot be granted positions in the underworld just by chance. Ye Chen tried and found that the prompts were all that his strength was insufficient or his karma was not yet exhausted, so he could not be granted a position.
It's alright if you're not strong enough; it just means you're at a low level. You just need to grow for a while longer, absorb some ghostly energy, and solidify your soul.
However, it is somewhat difficult to understand why this karma has not been exhausted.
"Could it be that their earthly ties are not yet severed? I can't possibly go and find their past lives, can I?" Ye Chen wondered to himself. He had absolutely no clue how to elevate these ghosts or bestow upon them a position in the underworld.
In addition, these ghosts are not very strong, and at least they cannot help him in terms of combat power in the short term. This made Ye Chen fall into deep thought. Could Fengdu City be just a support-type clan nest?
But these ghosts don't seem like things that can be used for farming. Could they be used for scientific research?
"You can move around freely for now and get familiar with the surroundings in Fengdu City!" Having racked his brains without success, Ye Chen could only put the matter aside for the time being.
The battle is still raging outside. I thought they would be a group of allies, but I found out they were just a bunch of weak ghosts. They need time to grow. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
However, the appearance of Fengdu City is not entirely without its advantages. At least the clansmen in his territory can now face death without fear, as they will enter Fengdu City after death and live on in another form.
"Yes!" The four ghosts nodded. Perhaps because they had just become ghosts, their reactions were still a bit sluggish, not as quick as ordinary humans.
The four ghosts scattered and left, and Ye Chen also turned and left Fengdu City.
Now that Fengdu City stands in the center, the lord's mansion has been moved to the east, near the Chiyang Wutong tree, in the hope that the yang energy of the three-legged golden crow can dispel some of the spreading ghostly energy.
The battle outside the planet continued, with a large number of dark demons being killed. However, judging from the situation, it was not going to end anytime soon. Ye Chen was eager to try his hand at it, wondering if he should go up and fight. After all, he had finally obtained the power, and it would be a real waste to leave it there.
However, before he could ascend to the heavens and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun, he saw Oros's enormous body fly back from the sky, its huge dragon head occasionally glancing towards the direction of Fengdu City.
"Ye Chen, what is that? Why do I vaguely feel that it is calling me?" Oros landed and asked in a puzzled tone.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with ecstasy.
"That's Fengdu City, the new nest of your clan. Can you feel it calling to you?" Ye Chen asked excitedly, feeling as if he had found the correct way to use Fengdu City.
"Hmm, Fengdu City? Can I go and take a look? I feel like it might be of some help to me there?" Oros asked hesitantly, without directly answering Ye Chen's question.
"Haha, of course! You've given me a good reminder. Fengdu is a ghost city, and it should belong to you undead creatures! Let's go, let's go take a look!" Ye Chen said excitedly, leaping directly onto the skeleton of Oros. With his current Tier 3 strength, it wasn't difficult for him to do so.
"Roar~~~" Oros let out a low roar, ignoring Ye Chen's offensive behavior. With a flap of its bone wings, it carried Ye Chen back towards Fengdu City.
"A city? A very strange city?" Arlos landed in front of the city gate of Fengdu and quietly looked at the city, his tone full of doubt.
The existence of Fengdu City was beyond its comprehension; it did not conform to its impression of the city of the dead, nor was it a place of burial.
It was like a real human city, except that it was for the living beings of the dead.
"Come on! I'll take you inside! You're not a living being, so you should be able to come in!" Ye Chen said with a smile, pushing open the gates of Fengdu City with an expectant look on his face.
A dense aura of death emanated from the city gate, causing Oros to shudder and his eyes to widen in horror.
From these dark auras, it sensed an opportunity for a breakthrough. This was an incomparably pure death aura, a great tonic for all undead creatures.
But the dark sky behind the city gate made Oros pause slightly. The row of bluestone slabs behind the city gate made it feel an aura of destruction, as if some kind of force would destroy it once it stepped on it.
"This city gate is the main gate of Fengdu City, also known as the Gate of Hell. The dead can enter, but the living cannot. Of course, I am the lord, so I am an exception!" Ye Chen said with a smile, and took the lead in stepping into the Gate of Hell.
He wasn't worried that Oros wouldn't be able to get in. The gates of Fengdu City seemed to be only a hundred meters high, but in reality, they could accommodate everything. Giant creatures that were too big would automatically shrink when passing through the Gates of Hell, or the city gates would enlarge. In any case, they would definitely be able to pass through.
As for the call that Oros mentioned, it is understandable. After all, Fengdu City is the final resting place of all the dead. As a sixth-tier undead creature, Oros would naturally be affected by the soul-summoning influence of Fengdu City.
Moreover, the deathly aura of Fengdu City is food for all undead creatures.
"However, Fengdu is a ghost city. Can a skeleton like Oros enter?" Ye Chen thought to himself, while Oros behind him had already taken hesitant steps and slowly walked in through the city gate.
"Don't be afraid, this road is the road to the underworld. Once you walk this road, your soul will become a ghost! It should be good for you!" Ye Chen said with a smile, and continued to walk forward. However, Oros hesitated slightly, his thick hind hooves not daring to take another step forward.
It felt that if it took this step, it would discover some kind of irreversible change. It didn't know if this change was good or bad, but it could sense the terrifying energy contained within it.
"Having walked the road to the underworld, will my soul become a ghost? Will I also be able to leave this body of the dead?" Ye Chen's words still echoed in its ears, and it murmured to itself unconsciously.
