Above the gray fog

Lin Shan first looked at the gate of hell behind him, then looked into the depths of the underworld, wondering whether to return to the clan or go to the underworld first.

I don’t know if I can come to the underworld after returning to the clan. By the way... how did he enter the underworld before?

A piece of memory suddenly became blank.

Lin Shan thought about it and decided to go to the inside of the underworld first.

He wanted to figure out where these ghosts came from and whether there was a king of hell in the underworld to coordinate everything.

Since this is the underworld of the human race, there is no need to worry about danger.

Lin Shan chased the fleeing Niu Tou Ma Mian.

Along the way, he met many more ghosts, and even a kind-looking mother-in-law appeared on the Naihe Bridge.

However, the strength of these ghosts was extremely low. They had a mutant soul power in their bodies, which should be the ghost power that Niu Tou just mentioned.

Niu Tou Ma Mian ran all the way until only black plants were swaying around.

A palace appeared in front.

On the main hall, there is a plaque with the words "Judge Hall" written on it.

"Judge Xu, it's bad, it's bad, a powerful person is coming down from above, we can't beat it, it's a black soul!"

Before entering the door, Niu Tou was shouting outside, and the voice was heard from a long distance.

The door opened, and a middle-aged man in a gorgeous Taoist robe walked out, "Black soul, ghost body?"

"It's me." Lin Shan appeared directly behind Niu Tou and Ma Mian.

Niu Tou and Ma Mian heard the voice, looked back, and almost peed in fear.

"Ah..." Niu Tou and Ma Mian shouted in unison and hid behind the middle-aged man.

The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth twitched. These two people are two living treasures. How could the rules of the underworld take a fancy to these two guys and give them the position of guarding the underworld.

"Who are you?" The middle-aged man arched his hand to the black shadow in front of him.

Flesh and blood quickly derived from the black shadow, and in a moment, Lin Shan's body was successfully regenerated.

"Xu Shi, don't you remember me?" Lin Shan said with a smile. He didn't expect to see an acquaintance here.

"Lin... Lin Xianfeng?" The middle-aged man was Xu Shi.

"Lin... Lin... Lin Xianfeng?" The bull-headed and horse-faced demon hiding behind Xu Shi suddenly stared at Lin Shan fiercely.

"What are these two? And how did you become a judge?" Lin Shan asked.

"This is a long story. Lin Xianfeng, let's come in and talk." Xu Shi made a gesture to invite him in.

"Well..." Lin Shan nodded.

Having an acquaintance explain the current situation can save him a lot of time. It seems that the choice to come to the underworld first is the right one.

Niu Tou changed his previous fierceness and said naively: "Lin Xianfeng, my real name is Sun Rui. I watched the live broadcast of you turning into a giant to protect the tribe last time. I was hiding in the hut at that time. I really wanted to pick up a weapon and fight with you, but unfortunately I didn't have the ability."

Horse Face continued Niu Tou's words and said: "Lin Xianfeng, I died late. When I was born, they all said that you were dead, but you protected everyone in the tribe. I grew up listening to your stories. I never thought I could meet you in person."

"You were also human before?" Lin Shan asked in surprise after hearing what the two said.

"Yes, yes, we were all human before, and we became like this inexplicably after we died." Niu Tou nodded repeatedly.

Hearing this, Lin Shan had some guesses in his heart.

Everyone had already arrived at the hall of the Judge's Hall at this time.

Maybe because of Xu Shi, this place is not so gloomy. Although it is called the Judge's Hall, no souls have been seen being judged here.

"Lin Xianfeng, please sit down." Xu Shi moved the only armchair in the hall behind Lin Shan, and then said, "The underworld is not like the world of the living. The place is relatively simple. Please don't blame me."

"Yes." Lin Shan nodded, "You sit down too. I want to ask you something."

Niu Tou cleverly moved a chair without a backrest from the side, "Judge Xu, please sit down."

Lin Shan looked around. No wonder Xu Shi said it was simple. Except for a few handmade chairs, it was a bare house. There were no underworld guards. The only thing that made sense was that the place was relatively large.

"What's going on in this underworld?" Seeing Xu Shi sitting down, Lin Shan asked straight to the point.

"Lin Xianfeng, you are asking me this question, which is a bit embarrassing. I didn't even know the existence of the underworld before I died. We, the officials and ghost messengers of the underworld, were conferred in the underworld after we died."

"And after being conferred, everything has to start over. We need to cultivate a kind of power called ghost power, which has a special suppressive effect on the soul body."

"In other words, you don't know anything?" Lin Shan was a little speechless.

"Probably... It's like this." Xu Shi looked innocent. How could he know something that Xianfeng didn't know.

"In this underworld, except for you and this ox-headed horse-faced, have all other positions been filled?" Lin Shan asked.

"No, there are still many to go." Xu Shi shook his head, "Even the main seat of the underworld is not occupied, only the ghost messengers at the bottom are increasing day by day."

Lin Shan nodded slightly. It seems that this underworld is operating on its own. It is looking for the right person to sit in the right position. I don't know what the standard is.

Even if he knew the rules, Lin Shan didn't want to be selected by the underworld. The priesthood here is not a real position of god. Even the King of Hell will be knocked down by the extraordinary.

Everything here should be left to run on its own. He couldn't intervene even if he wanted to.

The normal operation of the underworld meant that ordinary people in the clan could officially enter the cycle of reincarnation, and reincarnation became possible, and death was no longer a real death.

"How long have I been gone? Has the tribe changed in these years?" Lin Shan asked.

"This year is the 701st year of the human calendar. I remember it very clearly. The year you left was the 503rd year of the human calendar. 198 years have passed."

"Only 701 years... The prediction on the Earth side is that it will merge into the gray fog in a hundred years, which is nearly two hundred years in advance..." Lin Shan said to himself.

"What did you say?" Xu Shi paused and looked at Lin Shan with a suspicious look on his face.

"It's okay, tell me about the changes in the tribe." Lin Shan said lightly.

"It's a bit embarrassing to say that I have been dead for a hundred years. I can't see the changes in the world of the living here. People in the underworld know nothing about the world of the living. We can only get some information from the dead, and most of this information is incomplete."

Xu Shi's pale face turned red. He couldn't answer what Lin Xianfeng wanted to know.

"However, before I died, the tribe was always peaceful. The protection circle you set up prevented the human race from being invaded by the 'Fire Chaser'. When other civilizations were being slaughtered, the human race could still live comfortably."

"The only difference is that the technology level of the tribe is regressing in a straight line. Moreover, there are only a handful of extraordinary people who have not boarded the ship in the entire tribe. Now they should have reached the end of their lifespans like me. The tribe is now a country for ordinary people."

"Because of the canonization of the underworld, I can survive here, but other extraordinary people don't even have the possibility of reincarnation. Extraordinary people don't have the opportunity to reincarnate."

Lin Shan nodded and stood up directly. Since there was no information here, there was no need to waste time.

"I'll go back to the tribe first."
