Tu Er returned quickly. When he saw Wan Ke, he was a little uncomfortable. He obviously didn't expect Wan Ke to be there. The atmosphere between the two was a bit awkward, but now was not the time to think about those things.
The group sat down and listened to the news that Tu Er had discovered. "I just went down there, and it really is the River of Oblivion, but it's not exactly the River of Oblivion."
"Your Highness Tu Er, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by 'the River of Oblivion' and 'not the River of Oblivion'?" Tu Er looked at Yong Heng with a solemn expression, and after considering it, said, "I suspect that the River of Oblivion under Lanzhou City is just a river created in a dreamlike realm."
"Tu Er, do you mean the River of Oblivion under Lanzhou is an illusion?" Tu Er scratched the back of his head hesitantly, unsure how to explain it to Hua and the others, and stammered, "That's not wrong, but it's an illusion and yet it isn't an illusion."
Tu Er tugged at her hair anxiously, "I don't know how to explain it, but this river is really strange. I don't really understand the specifics."
Tu Er had just gone down with the Imperial Heart Bell, and given that he possessed the bloodline of the Demon Clan's royal family, and upon closer examination, his ancestors were somewhat related to Princess Lan Jiao, he quickly sensed something was amiss after going down.
His intuition told him that there was something wrong with this River of Oblivion. Although it was indeed the River of Oblivion, it was different from the River of Oblivion in the Underworld, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what the problem was.
They were determined to make this trip to the River of Oblivion, so after packing up, they headed down.
"Be careful, we're almost at the end of Lanzhou City," Tu Er whispered a reminder.
Hua used the Heart-Controlling Bell on her hand to protect everyone within its blue light, preventing them from falling into the River of Oblivion later.
Hua and Chu Yu are gods, so the River of Oblivion doesn't have much of an effect on them, but it still poses a certain threat to Tu Er and the others. If they accidentally fall in, their souls will be severely damaged, especially Yong Heng, who will lose half his life.
A moment later, the view suddenly opened up, and a vast river came into view. However, unlike the usual turquoise river water, this river was black, and looking down from above, it looked like a tomb filled with the aura of black death.
Wronged souls and severed limbs kept emerging from above, all desperately trying to escape the river, their cries of pain echoing in the air.
"Chu Yu, is this the River of Oblivion?" Hua Hua felt a pang of pity upon seeing it. She had never seen the River of Oblivion in the underworld before; this was the first time she had ever seen it.
"Alright, some of these souls in the River of Oblivion committed heinous crimes in their lives and are here to cleanse themselves of their sins, while others willingly endure this torment." As they spoke, the group reached the shore.
Looking at the souls struggling in the River of Oblivion, Hua recalled the records about the River of Oblivion that she had once read.
Legend has it that the River of Oblivion has existed since the beginning of the Underworld, a supreme treasure bestowed upon it by the ancestral gods, governing the judgment of good and evil in the human realm.
The Ancestral God Sang loved the human race, and the human race was the only race in the Six Realms that had reincarnation. Even the gods did not have the concept of reincarnation. When they died, they completely disappeared from the Six Realms. The same was true for the other four realms of immortals, demons, monsters, and the underworld. They did not enter the cycle of reincarnation after death.
Humans are bound by the concept of reincarnation, which is accompanied by cause and effect. The good and evil deeds of each life are settled after death, and the underworld is in charge of the process. Those who commit heinous crimes will have their souls cleansed day and night in the River of Oblivion until their souls are cleansed again.
