Bai Xi vaguely remembered the scenes she saw in the memory space. In this era, the lifespan of living beings is relatively long, and there are few deaths. Most deaths are caused by Tartarus, who has devoured them. The undead race should be a very weak race now.
If it's an undead, then she can only think of one existence.
Whether she truly possesses one remains a mystery, because the body she saw in her memory space had no soul.
There is no historical record of the existence of a goddess of the dead, yet the dead are convinced that she does exist.
The goddess of the dead also possesses fragments of her soul, which are even fused within her divine essence.
Bai Xi has always known about this hidden danger, but she has been unable to solve it until now. Besides, the power of the undead can also be used to resist the abyss, so Bai Xi just turns a blind eye and pretends that the problem does not exist.
But if... we can really find this 'Schrödinger' goddess of the dead, and she truly exists, then the conspiracy hidden behind it all...
Thinking of this, Bai Xi's expression became much more serious.
"It is indeed rare, but that doesn't mean it's nonexistent."
Ulysses shrugged, seeing that Bai Xi had become interested, and finally didn't intend to send him away, and began to talk to Bai Xi familiarly.
"Although since I appeared, the dead have been a disorganized mess without a god, but... who knows if they really don't have a god."
He stroked his chin as he voiced his guess.
“I can occasionally detect a very powerful undead force, coming from an individual, but only occasionally. That person is very well hidden. However, not long after you left yesterday, I caught her again.”
He was referring to the period after Bai Xi left the temple.
After listening, Bai Xi remained silent for a moment. So the Goddess of the Dead really exists, and is a conscious soul, not just a shell?
However, it is still uncertain whether what Ulysses was referring to was the goddess of the dead.
"Although I don't want to admit that I've been following you, that guy is following you too. Whenever you appear, her presence will be nearby, so I came here specifically to remind you."
Ulysses was always open about the bad things he did, even things like stalking.
Bai Xi stared at him speechlessly, really wanting to say to Ulysses, 'What? Do I need to thank you?'
However, considering that he did provide useful clues, Bai Xi did not retort to him, but instead sincerely thanked Ulysses.
Thank you.
At least let her know that someone who seems to be the goddess of the dead has her eye on her. Although we don't know her purpose yet, we should be able to get useful answers if we investigate carefully.
"No need to thank me, I'm just trying to get closer to you."
Ulysses once again stated his purpose in a very frank tone, but his frankness was a bit excessive, which made Bai Xi feel an inexplicable anger.
Looking at his handsome face, I felt no urge whatsoever, only a strong urge to punch him.
"You really are..."
Bai Xi felt a throbbing sensation in her temple.
"So, would you mind taking me with you on the rest of the journey? I can help you catch her."
Seeing Bai Xi's helpless expression, Ulysses smiled slightly, offering very tempting terms.
"..."
Just as Bai Xi was about to refuse, she saw Ulysses look at the cross 'Nightmare Crescent' around her neck, which still contained his power.
"Can."
She stared at Ulysses quietly for several seconds before finally giving in and agreeing.
It felt strange, like I was being seen through.
"Thank you for the invitation, Miss."
A smile flickered in Ulysses' eyes; seeing Bai Xi humiliated made him feel much better.
...
"A ghost that dares not show its true form dares to come looking for me?"
El stared menacingly at the blurry human figure not far away, the heavy aura of death filling his eyes with uncontrollable disgust.
“You were also born in chaos and evil, so you should understand how I feel. We are the same.”
A woman's voice, tinged with a morbid excitement, came from a dark shadow not far away.
"Who wants to be like the dead? We are completely different!"
El was almost enraged by her words, his face turning extremely pale, but because the person in front of him was so filthy, he didn't want to touch her, he just wanted to get rid of her, not hit her.
He felt that after fighting with her, he would be covered in that ghostly, dead smell, which he didn't like.
But what this guy might say next is another story.
He hated being bothered more than the smell of a dead person.
His temper wasn't exactly good; he wasn't the soft persimmon or cowardly King of Elements who only liked to guard his own little corner and never went out to cause trouble.
"Alright, alright, we are different, but don't you want to transform yourself into a god worshipped by all living beings?"
The woman was speechless after being confronted, but she quickly recovered and began to use a different approach to entice El.
“Our power is not appreciated, but becoming a god will make us infinitely stronger. We will be worshipped and become the object of worship for countless beings.”
She's like the head of a pyramid scheme; every word she says is brainwashing.
El could tell that her intentions were impure. After listening to the woman's speech, he simply sneered.
"Oh? If something like this happens, why would you come to me? Shouldn't you enjoy it all by yourself?"
He was actually quite unhappy about being born into chaos and evil, but he had no interest in changing it; he'd rather find someone to fight than change that.
The Elemental King isn't going out, and he's furious with nowhere to vent his anger.
"You felt it too, didn't you? That woman who suddenly appeared, the savior the creatures spoke of!"
Upon hearing El's question, the woman's voice became noticeably sharper, and when she spoke of Bai Xi, her desire was barely concealed.
"So what if I know?"
El scoffed and retorted.
"We'll cooperate; all we need to do is take her credit and steal her..."
The blurry, illusory figure trembled slightly from the fantasy, barely able to suppress the anticipation.
Unfortunately, he was interrupted by El halfway through his speech.
"Sorry, I'm not interested."
He wasn't that bored. As for the woman who suddenly appeared, he was quite interested. He could find her and have a fight sometime.
However, after defeating the King of Elements, he must personally admit defeat.
"you....."
The phantom was nearly enraged after being rejected, but considering El's special nature and immense power, it could only sheepishly retreat, uttering a harsh remark.
You'll regret this!
She disappeared before El's eyes, without El even giving her a second glance.
However, what no one knew was that although the phantom did not have El's support, she found another way to replace Baixi.
