"No."
Yan Sizhan shook his head slightly, his voice clear and deep, as pleasant as the resonance in his chest, "The underworld is the place of reincarnation. The game created by the Divine Court Technology transcends the underworld. The reason there is such a dungeon about the underworld is because the Second Executive Officer of the Divine Court suffered a setback in the underworld and wanted to use his setback to torment other players."
Qin Xian: "???"
After getting soaked in the rain, he tore up everyone else's umbrellas too?
They're even digging pits to create hell?
Su Deng: "..."
She was tired of saying that Shen Ting was indeed a lunatic.
Inside Meng Po Village, layers of plain white gauze hung down from above, fluttering in the still air.
The crescent moon unfolded layer by layer, leading them up the wooden stairs.
upstairs.
In front of the window facing the Yellow Springs, there was a low couch.
On the couch sat a man dressed in a wide, crescent-white robe, lounging lazily by the window, holding a jar of wine in his hand.
He turned his head to the side, revealing a strikingly handsome face with well-defined features, a true beauty, and long, jet-black hair cascading down his back.
A clear moon and gentle breeze.
Reflecting the yellow sand outside the half-circle window and the churning Yellow Springs, beneath the blood-red spider lilies, it resembles a traditional Chinese ink painting.
His clear gaze swept over Yan Sizhan and Su Deng, finally settling on Su Deng's face.
"I……"
He spoke, somewhat taken aback, "I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."
Su Muyue's expression tightened slightly as he grabbed Su Deng's clothes.
Yan Sizhan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the silver spear silently materialized in his hand.
The man glanced at what he was holding, took a swig of wine from the jar, and chuckled, "You're the one who killed Li Zhao, aren't you?"
This man was extremely handsome, with an antique charm, a lazy and noble air, and an ethereal, otherworldly presence that seemed completely out of place in the underworld.
Qin Xian was stunned, and asked in a low voice, "Who is this?"
Crescent Moon pursed her lips and whispered, "He is Meng Po."
"Huh???" Qin Xian's eyes widened in shock, forgetting to hide his surprise. "Meng Po is actually a man???"
"Keep your voice down!" Crescent Moon came up and tried to cover his mouth.
Although Su Deng had guessed it when she came in and saw him, she was still somewhat taken aback when Yueya confirmed it.
Because in their minds, Meng Po had always been a woman.
"What?" The man raised an eyebrow. "Can't a man be Meng Po?"
Qin Xian: "..."
Su Deng: "".
If this were purely a game world, she would probably say that the Divine Court is a lunatic with such a perverse sense of humor.
But this isn't the case here.
A cyberpunk-style underworld, with ghostly guards wielding pistols, underworld officials in suits playing on their phones, dignified and elegant female judges, and a male Meng Po as pure and serene as a snow lotus under the moonlit breeze...
Okay, she can accept it.
Meng Po scoffed and glanced sideways at Crescent Moon. "You used the Mirror of Reincarnation to wake me up. Are you planning your rebellion again?"
"Hehe..." The proud and arrogant Crescent Moon became somewhat cautious in front of him, smiling ingratiatingly, "Sister Yao Zhi said that you know where Lord Hades is imprisoned by the old ghost."
Meng Po paused slightly, "Do you still believe that Hades is imprisoned?"
Crescent Moon sneered, "If Lord Hades were truly in seclusion, why wouldn't he tell me and leave the Mirror of Reincarnation with me? He's practically begging me to go and save him!"
Meng Po seemed helpless, shook her head and chuckled softly, saying in a distant voice, "Deep in the Netherworld lies the Night Realm, the entrance to which is in the Pool of Reincarnation."
"Thank you!" Crescent Moon's eyes lit up, and she turned and ran outside. "Su Deng, hurry up!"
Su Deng didn't move. He looked at the man in front of him who was Meng Po, his eyes deep and unfathomable. "Is it true that you just said you've seen me before?"
Meng Po stared at her face for a while, then held the wine jar in her clean, slender hand and took a big gulp. "It looks very similar, but you are not reincarnated, nor are you a reincarnation, nor are you her."
Su Deng squinted, "Who...is she?"
Meng Po paused slightly, not answering the question, but instead looking at Yan Sizhan, "After that war a thousand years ago, is the Divine Court still continuing its god-making plan?"
“You…” Yan Sizhan looked at him, his gaze cold and his face expressionless, “You are the fallen god.”
Su Deng suddenly looked up.
Qin Xian's eyes widened even more. Was this something he could hear?
Su Muyue wrinkled her nose, took Su Deng's hand and made her bend down slightly, standing on tiptoe, and whispered in her ear, "Mom, this person died later."
Su Deng's pupils narrowed slightly. "You know him?"
Su Muye nodded, wanting to say more, but then he couldn't make a sound.
"Then let's not talk about it." Su Deng rubbed his head.
Sometimes knowing the future isn't necessarily a good thing.
Let's go.
Su Deng remained calm and lightly kicked Qin Xian's leg beside her.
"Huh? Oh!" Qin Xian snapped out of his daze and followed, somewhat stunned.
Yan Sizhan didn't know what he said to Meng Po again, but he caught up with Su Deng and the others after they had all left Meng Po's manor.
"Hey!" Qin Xian caught up with Yueya, "Is that man really Meng Po?"
Crescent Moon snorted, "Otherwise, are you?"
Qin Xian choked, "But he... he doesn't seem like it at all..."
Su Deng said, "I'm curious too."
Crescent Moon glanced back at Meng Po Manor and suddenly sighed, "Legend has it that the underworld has existed since the beginning of the world, to house the souls of the dead and allow them to reincarnate. The first King of the Underworld dissipated himself more than two thousand years ago, that is, he committed suicide. The second King of the Underworld is the current King of the Underworld, who was forced to take the throne at that time."
This was also a secret she had heard about the underworld.
