My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1130 1128. Stepping into the Shallow Sea of ​​Death and into the Embrace of Eternal Life - More Updates [515]

(Additional update for brother "MortaLs丶叶" [5/5])
Not to mention that the little mummy, who always appeared as a "funny comedian" in the past, made a "transformation" in the underworld, and turned from dry air-dried bacon into a 360° seamless Sanghai sports car.

Just from the perspective of the other people who were traveling with the coffin, today's trip to the underworld was an absolute "chance", especially for psychic masters like Tris and Hathor.

In the past thousand years, there have been only a handful of examples of living people being able to enter the underworld and escape unscathed, so the underworld plane is definitely the most mysterious area in the entire world, bar none.

Countless imaginary legends describe the underworld, but no one can guess what this exotic landscape is like before actually seeing it.

Triss, who was walking on the quiet Road of the Dead, moved forward along the quaint, majestic and solemn trail. She looked back frequently. At the end of the trail was a beach and an endless dark sea.

It is said that it is the first stop for the living to enter the underworld.

The soul of the dead must cross the endless underworld sea in the ferryman's boat to reach the other side, but the ferryman is not a saint. If the rules of these guys cannot be met, then the soul of the dead will be thrown into the underworld sea and become part of the weeping and wailing sea water, which is the most tragic ending.

According to the rules of the Songhai people, the three soul-calming coins are the most important things in one's afterlife.

One is used to thank the ferryman for the fare, one is used to wash away the sins of life, and the other is left for emergencies.

Of course, for those guys who have committed many evil deeds, you have to prepare more Soul-Suppressing Coins, because those sins are really not a problem that can be solved by one Soul-Suppressing Coin. In fact, when two coins are not enough to pay off the grudges, bringing more Soul-Suppressing Coins will only speed up their drowning in the Nether Sea.

“It’s growing.”

Grand Duke Hathor, who was beside Tris, said in a trembling voice:
"The story recorded by the forerunners of the Secret Blood Clan is true. The Hades Plane is a living thing! It grows by consuming spiritual essence, allowing the purest death spiritual energy to be born. Even though this place is only open to the Songhai people now, it has accumulated enough spiritual essence over the past thousand years.

Just one chance and it will spread its shadow to the whole world!
By then, not only the Songhai people will embark on the road of the dead after death. All populations and all living beings will have to accept the scrutiny of death after living their lives to determine what identity they will obtain after death.

The underworld left by the Creator is part of the life cycle of the entire world!

Perhaps it was because He left too early, so the Hades system was not integrated into the planning of the Eden area.

Or maybe the Creator originally intended to incorporate the underworld into the world cycle after completing the transformation of the world and the revival of life."

"You know a lot, Hathor."

Trish narrowed her eyes and said:
"But you may not have experienced the Candidate Binding, and you know these past mysteries without triggering the memory resonance of little Murphy. So, who is speaking now? Hathor? Or Constance?"

"Don't try, Tris."

Hathor said coldly:

"Knowing the past is the privilege of the Secret Blood Grand Duke. I used to hide it because these memories are taboo, but now that the Grand Dukes have recovered their memories, I finally don't have to work hard to hide them. As for Ms. Constance.
she is dead!
Don't think too much, she is really dead."

"Just because you're dead doesn't mean you won't be resurrected in the future."

Shani said in a hoarse voice:
“If only one tenth of the cunning memories of Lady Constance that I inherited from Lady Oksana are true, then she is capable enough to plan her future in advance when facing death.

He is the wisest person in the history of the blood clan!
Even when our ancestors were still trying to make a living on their home planet, she was a big shot who could secretly manipulate the direction of the world. It is normal for such a big shot to have some small secrets. "

Hathor said nothing about this.

She obviously didn't intend to continue talking on this topic.

Apart from the scheming third sister of the vampire grand duke, everyone else was more concerned about the differences between the real underworld and the legends. The queen and her daughter walked with the coffin, their eyes looking at both sides of the Road of the Dead.

Beneath those majestic and mysterious pillars, there are empty platforms with indelible bloodstains underneath.

“Three-headed dogs should have been squatting on the stone platforms on both sides. They would examine the evil thoughts and good deeds of the soul. Once a person was judged to be a villain, the three-headed dog would bite off his left leg, and he would crawl towards the end of the road of the dead with difficulty while wailing miserably.

However, the three-headed dogs will change shifts at midnight every day. That is the only time when the guilty can sneak into the underworld. However, few souls in history can do this. Those who escaped punishment in this way have mostly become legendary figures in the underworld. "

The little mummy walking with big strides. Uh, it should be called the "big" mummy now.

In short, Nefertari introduced it to her best friend like a qualified tour guide:

“However, due to the war in Hades, the three-headed dogs here started killing each other. They were all killed and are now waiting to be resurrected in the Beast Abyss. So you won’t see the three-headed dog, and you don’t have to worry about having your left leg bitten off.

Especially you vampires, every one of you will have your left leg bitten off!
Most of the three-headed dogs in Hades have never tasted vampires!"

The little mummy threatened the vampire dukes with malicious intent, but no one was scared by her, which made Nefertari shrug her shoulders, then sighed and said:
“However, although the legend of the Judgment of the Three-Headed Dog is described as very horrific, in reality most people do not pay attention to the details about the Road of the Dead.

The souls who can embark on this path themselves represent that they have done meaningful things in their lifetime. They have not lived up to their own vivid lives. Whether it is good or bad, only those who have truly done something and lived a down-to-earth life are qualified to cross the underworld after death.

As for the destination of those souls in the void of time, the most likely destination is drowning in the endless abyss. The ferrymen left by the Creator are never merciful.

This is also the biggest dissatisfaction, or entanglement, that we priests have towards the Creator.

As priests of the Death Moon, we certainly hope that every soul can enjoy peace after death. However, the Creator seems to have his own unique understanding of life, rest, and the value of life, so there is no need to worry.

Those souls that fall into the Underworld will not suffer forever in drowning and struggling. They will sink to the depths of the Underworld at different speeds according to the degree of their sins. After experiencing a long or short period of suffering, they will always fall to the bottom of the sea.

At that time, they will be washed clean of filth by the underworld and sent back to the material world in the form of pure spiritual essence.

The mentor said that this is the most important part of the cycle of life and death. Only by ensuring the balance of the cycle of life and death can a civilization grow and develop. For an individual, death is a disaster, but for a civilization, death is a blessing.

Over the past thousand years, the Hades has shouldered this responsibility in the Songhai Empire, and the fact that the Songhai people have grown to their current size over the past thousand years has proven that the Creator's arrangement is absolutely correct."

"However, the ancient kingdom of Kalem, which was as prosperous as the Songhai Empire, did not have a similar mechanism, and they also grew and prospered."

A Feng asked in a puzzled voice, but was glared at by Nefertari.

Grand Duke Hathor then began to explain:

“This is a fallacy.

The Kalem people don't say this because their traditional customs don't allow them to discuss death openly, but in fact, as far as I know, another secret entrance to the underworld is right under a mountain in the ancient country of Kalem.

It is not connected to the Songhai underworld, but it is certain that the cycle of death also applies to the Kalem people.

It can be said that the Creator made two samples for comparison, and it has been proven that the existence of Hades is very important to the world of the living, so in the future, Hades will cast a shadow on every area of ​​the continent. "

"Yes, I guess it only takes one command from Murphy to start this reincarnation program."

Tris added softly.

Making everyone around look at her, Tris shrugged and said:

"Little Murphy is the chosen one of the Creators. Isn't it normal for him to initiate such an order? At least in Transia, Xike City already has all the conditions to connect with the underworld, right?"

"What are you guys talking about? You look so happy? Do you want us to wait a little longer until you guys have finished talking before we continue on our journey? It's okay. It's just the pharaohs of the underworld fighting each other here. A group of people may rush out at any time and trap us to death here, right?

How can this small risk be more important than the gossip about the underworld that you all discuss here? "

Mrs. Bohm's cold voice sounded in front of everyone at this moment. The "Hades' Luxury Car" put his hands on his waist and cursed:
"I see you all really don't care about your lives! I risked my dignity to save face for you from the angry death pharaohs nearby, so that everyone would turn a blind eye and pretend not to see you.

But now you guys are chatting here.

Do you want me to set up a barbecue stall for you so you can have a meal before continuing on your journey? Do you want me to dance for you to liven up the atmosphere?"

"Okay, okay."

Trish cheered. Of course, this was a joke.

After being glared at by Mrs. Bom, she waved her hand and the mummy dancers carrying the pharaoh's coffin immediately sped up, and asked everyone to speed up and follow Mrs. Bom into the majestic temple in front of the Road of Death and move forward along a dark road.

As the little mummy said, the living cannot see the way to the underworld.

Therefore, all people saw was a pitch-black scene, and they could only follow the mummy dancer step by step, fearing that one wrong step would lead to their doom.

But in the eyes of spirits like Nefertari and Afeng, the scenery of the underworld is really nice, except that its architectural style is a bit too similar to the world of the living. It feels like some weird replica, but there are also differences in the details.

However, the underworld was in chaos right now, so they had no time to take a closer look. Even if they saw the barricades they passed by, they were filled with the corpses of various underworld creatures.

But the problem is that the dead will not be killed in the underworld, so it won’t be long before these unlucky souls who were hacked to death will be resurrected again.

In other words, although the underworld has been in turmoil these days and various pharaohs have taken turns to engage in the big PK, in fact, not many people have died. Everyone is just chopping for fun and venting their previous conflicts.

However, once the dead here are allowed to enter the material world to "vent their conflicts", the situation will become really serious.

"Go out from the fork in the road here! Keep walking without looking back, and you will enter the Hall of Death in the material world."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

After walking for dozens of minutes, Mrs. Bohm pointed to a fork in the road ahead and said:

"My dear granddaughter! You lead the way for them. My dancers will follow you to the world of the living and help that old man Bayek complete the Pharaoh Ceremony. I hope that the arrival of Thutmose II can restore some order to the chaotic underworld.

I really don't want to see the underworld beauty pageant that I have worked so hard to prepare being shelved indefinitely. Those good girls who have trained so hard are waiting to go on stage to show their glory. That is the only chance for them with ordinary backgrounds to stay in the underworld forever and enjoy themselves.

go Go.

Return to the world of the living!

Don't look back, don't hesitate, this is not a place for you to stay for long, don't let the 'Will of Hades' see you, that invisible 'King of Hell' is not merciful."

With Madame Bohm's rhythmic farewell voice, everyone set off again.

This time, as they continued to move forward, the concentration of death energy around them was rapidly weakening. After they crossed an invisible boundary, the breath of the underworld converged in an instant, and Afeng returned to the sense of restraint that a spirit should have in the material world.

He looked back and saw a ball of netherworld fire floating beside him. It then struggled to transform into Nefertari's true spirit form. The latter's legs went weak and Afeng quickly supported her.

She complained:

"Every time I go to the underworld, I don't want to return to the material world. Sigh, that place is too attractive to the dead. But we have finally arrived at the Hall of the Dead, so let's get to work."

At Nefertari's urging, the group immediately accelerated and jumped into the material world, as if they were stepping out of an invisible land.

When they came to their senses, they were all standing on a dead silent and cold circular platform, with six stairs leading downwards. It was pitch black all around, with only the flying nether fire hanging high in the sky serving as a source of light.

This is the original Underworld Cathedral in the central area of ​​the Dead Moon Holy City.

Like the Great Cathedral in the City of the Blazing Sun, it is located in the core area of ​​the city and is also the most important functional area in the city of faith. This hall of death is closed and will only be opened for the death ceremony after the death of each pharaoh.

Previous ceremonies were always very solemn and lively, with all the important figures of the empire gathering here to bid farewell to the passing of the Pharaoh. However, this time it was much more desolate.

"Swish"

Shani stepped forward and disappeared from the spot, looking down through the window at the end of the other side of the platform. After a few seconds, she returned to the edge of the platform and said to the others:

"The Hades army of the Badis family is fighting with several other Hades armies on the street outside. I saw Senior Sister Senno also on the saddle of the Skeleton War Scorpion, and Pablo and his mistress who were taking advantage of the chaos to rob.

It seems the Badis are loyal!
The fact that they were able to hold off the siege from several other forces shows that they are already doing their best to help."

"Because the Badis family also had a pharaoh, who was ranked after my great-grandfather and before Fulier's grandfather. Badis I had a very good reputation. He was elected as the tenth pharaoh because of his achievements in suppressing the Mamluk rebellion.

He also realized the drawbacks of the empire's politics, so in the second half of his rule, in addition to recuperating, he began to suppress the power of the Pilgrim Family. Fulier's grandfather and father both followed this policy. "

The little mummy explained:
"Therefore, Senior Senno and her grandfather are very clear that maintaining the authority of the Pharaoh is equivalent to maintaining the authority of the Badis family, so I was so happy when I saw that Senior was still alive. Those rebellious Pilgrim families are powerful families that have never produced a Pharaoh. It is understandable that they resent this system.

But they chose the worst possible way to respond.”

"It's not as simple as you say, Nefertari. The political factors involved are difficult to explain in just a few words."

Princess Fulier sighed.

She stepped forward, laid her hand on her father's coffin, and said:
"But no matter what, the next Pharaoh who succeeds my father will definitely follow his policies. The Pilgrim Family has taken up too many resources. We must let them give up some, otherwise the people's livelihood in the empire will be in big trouble."

"Hey, I don't understand politics and I don't intend to understand it. I'm dead and don't need to think about it."

Nefertari snorted, then reached out and slammed herself hard on the forehead under the gaze of everyone, screaming:
"Old man, we've arrived. Don't sleep any more. Get up and work!"

"buzz"

As the spirits around the little mummy trembled, as if "splitting", in the trembling green netherfire, another spirit peeled off from Nefertari's soul. It kept changing its form like a glowing slime, and finally, as everyone bowed and greeted it, it turned into an old man wrapped in cloth strips and holding a ritual sickle and staff.

Even though it is just a spirit, its appearance is still depicted vividly, down to the crow skull mask on the face of the high priest Bayek, the complicated death moon decoration hanging on his chest, and the Hades walker cloak behind him.

The spirit was very weak, like a dying person with only his last breath left, but when she saw him, even Tris felt at ease.

This old guy.
It was he who almost beat the arrogant Scarlet Witch to death at the border of the Land of Origin. It was precisely because he was severely beaten by the High Priest Bayek that Tris believed that this old guy was very powerful. If he was in his prime, Lord Paying would probably not be able to get any good results.

Well, if you live long enough you can do whatever you want. Uh, that’s not right. In the case of High Priest Bayek, it should be said that if you die long enough you can do whatever you want.

"Well Tuthmons, you are here too."

The chief priest stepped forward, stretched out his fingers wrapped in Hellfire, and slowly stroked them over the restrained coffin. He whispered:

"The power of the Creator protects you, allowing you to walk in pain to the end of the road of the dead; the glorious ancestors are watching you in the dead moon, and they are looking forward to you becoming one of them.

Your country is calling you, your children are crying for you, your destiny has been cut off but sent into another path by His messenger.

Thutmose, the Pharaoh who had great ambitions but died young.

My friend, wake up.

Say goodbye to the tormented past without regrets! Step forward to the peaceful and beautiful destination shrouded by the dead moon. "

During this long chanting, the netherworld fires that were hovering and flying in the surrounding darkness exploded one after another, transforming into dark green phantoms that lined up above the place of death. They were the pharaohs in history appearing one after another.

The little mummy also waved to the one who was wearing a golden fennec fox mask covering half of his face but looked sad, and the latter forced a smile.

"The twelfth pillar of the underworld, the twelfth ancient king of the sea of ​​sand, and the twelfth immortal lord of the Songhai people has arrived!

The time of death begins here! "

Bayek raised his hands and declared:

"Please, everyone, bear witness."
