Above the gray fog

Si Yin led Lin Shan through the palaces and walked deeper into the underworld.

As the two of them walked farther and farther, the palace behind them became smaller and smaller, until they entered the darkness without any horizon.

At a certain moment, Si Yin sighed softly, leaving a trace of almost unnoticeable loneliness, then turned around and looked at Lin Shan, the green light in his eyes flickering like flames in the abyss.

"Follow me closely. There is no other way here. If you are too far away from me, you will fall directly into the turbulence of time and space." She reminded.

"Hmm..." Lin Shan nodded slightly. In fact, at his current level, he is not afraid of the turbulence of time and space, but it is still a bit troublesome.

Lin Shan followed closely behind, stepping on the ethereal void. Every time he stepped hard, there would be a feeling of rebounding upwards. Lin Shan's heart tightened, as if he was stepping on the belly of some kind of creature... ...

Lin Shan tried to release his sensory exploration, and found that the ground he stepped on was just a thin layer of paper-like material, and there was nothing underneath.

In the darkness, there was a hidden creature staring closely at the two of them with its glowing green eyes, like a beast peeping at its prey. The stench made Lin Shan frown. How could there be so much weirdness in this place?

This place should be an undeveloped area of ​​the underworld, so there shouldn't be any weird things...

Finally, a green light source appeared in front, like a lighthouse. Inside the green light was a magnificent palace, with huge pillars extending upward and disappearing into the dark dome, as if holding up the weight of the entire underworld.

On the shiny golden plaque, the four characters "Dongyue Emperor's Palace" are carved like a knife and an axe, exuding awe-inspiring majesty.

Lin Shan raised his head, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and his pupils looked weird under the reflection of the green light.

"Dongyue Emperor's Palace? Is this where you asked me to come? Do you want me to take over the priesthood of Emperor Dongyue?" What she said before contacting Si Yin, coupled with the place where she brought herself, her intention has been It's obvious.

"Since there is Emperor Dongyue, there must be Emperor Fengdu and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, right? If I remember correctly, the person in charge of the underworld should be Emperor Fengdu." Lin Shan looked up at the magnificent hall, and the green light was like an invisible line. The barrier blocked his perception.

Si Yin's expression became extremely complicated at this moment. She looked towards the solemn hall as if she was recalling some distant past. She gently touched the cold air with her fingers and said slowly:

"The priesthood of Emperor Fengdu has disappeared with him. The priesthood of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has long ceased to exist. Now the highest priesthood in the underworld is Emperor Dongyue. If one day you can obtain something, you may be able to restore Fengdu The priesthood of the Great Emperor. In the old days, the priesthood of Emperor Fengdu, Emperor Dongyue, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva were all comparable to those of Heaven. Nowadays, they have long lost their original power. You have mastered the priesthood of Emperor Dongyue. , will not allow you to gain power comparable to that of the Lord, or even increase your existing power. Its only function is to allow you to mobilize the rules of the underworld to accomplish certain things."

"Go ahead, I won't go in." Her voice contained a hint of complicated emotions, and her figure looked even more lonely in the green light. She turned around, leaving Lin Shan with a silhouette of her back, which was like a mountain. The lonely tower guarding ancient secrets remains standing.

Lin Shan thought for a while and then asked, "Will priesthood and authority conflict? From the information he understood, the old priesthood was also a type of authority."

"It used to be possible, but not now. Because times are different, and the special nature of the underworld, the priesthood of the underworld cannot leverage the power of Yuanchu. You can just use it as a special key. It can leverage it. There are only the rules of the underworld, just like those judges in the underworld now. They hold the position of judge, but their own strength has not increased at all. If it were in the old days, the judge, the Yin god's position, could be attached to the bearer. The life level of an immortal." After speaking, Si Yin began to urge, "Hurry in, I don't have much time.

Lin Shan stepped forward through the void, and the palace shrouded in green light was getting closer and closer.

He could already see the mottled marks carved on the walls outside the hall.

On the other side, after Lin Shan left, the two Si Yin looked at each other.

"Why...I don't remember?"

"I don't remember either."

"I don't understand why I'm here..."

"Your memory only stays in the old days. Many things happened later, such as my appearance."

"Why...do you exist?"

"Because I am you."

"I know...since you already exist in this world...why do I exist? I don't understand..."

"You'll understand..."

Lin Shan entered the interior of the palace. Under the reflection of green light, the high-hanging eaves were flowing with mysterious colors, like emerald wings, unfolding leisurely. The top of the palace was surrounded by colorful clouds.

In the center of the hall is a tall statue with a solemn face and an inviolable sanctity in its majesty. However, no matter how Lin Shan looked at it, he could not remember the appearance of the statue. As long as he looked away, he would immediately forget it. .

"Da, da, da..." Lin Shan stepped on the black stone slab, and he could feel the heavy sense of history.

When Lin Shan passed the unforgettable statue, the stone lamps on both sides suddenly lit up, accompanied by a slight "bang" sound, and the dark green flames spread out. These flames were not only the source of light, but also dispelled the fog left by time. Under the reflection of this green light, the palace, which was originally stained with traces of time, instantly restored its former glory, as if time was reversed and all the old states were renewed.

The road leading to the heights was clearly visible under the guidance of the stone lamps. At the end of the road, a glorious high seat stood in it. On the high seat, a group of eerie green light floated reservedly, like a floating ghost fire.

Lin Shan walked forward along the road illuminated by the stone lamps, approaching the group of eerie green light.

Until he reached the highest point, in front of the high seat, the green light group jumped in front of his eyes, exuding a peaceful atmosphere.

Without waiting for Lin Shan to do anything, the green light gradually approached him and finally slowly merged into his body.

Lin Shan instantly gained some enlightenment.

This green fire is exactly the divine duty of the Emperor Dongyue.

There seemed to be fine green lines flashing on his skin, and the light in his eyes became deeper, as if there were wisps of information flashing.

At this moment, Lin Shan was the supreme god of this underworld.

As Si Yin said, this underworld is very different from the regular hell.

In the heyday of the human emperor, the technological power of all races also reached its peak. As the only seventh-level civilization in Shenzhou, the people of the human race have long transcended and surpassed all living beings. It is not an exaggeration to say that everyone is like a dragon.

This underworld is the only underworld built by the human race for all races, which controls life and death in the world.

With a wisp of civilization fire as the foundation, supplemented by the most advanced technology at the time, and then loaded with various old underworld powers.
