Above the gray fog

"Are you still Lin Shan?" Xia Xuan asked.

"After dying so many times, I don't know if I am still Lin Shan." Lin Shan said slowly.

"It's normal to have such thoughts after you die too many times." Xia Xuan looked in the direction of the ghost gate, "Whether a person still exists mainly depends on how he defines life and death. If you die with pure life Definition, then you are indeed no longer Lin Shan, your soul is dead, but many people judge life and death by 'existence', in this case, you are not completely dead yet."

"The sefirah that records your 'existence' did not return to the sefirah sea and was intercepted by this hell."

"Can I still be resurrected?" Lin Shan asked.

"This is the meaning of my appearance." Xia Xuan looked at Lin Shan, "Go and open the door of hell."

Lin Shan took a few steps forward and put his hand on the cold door of Gui Men Guan. Before Lin Shan could exert any force, Gui Men Guan opened automatically. There seemed to be wind coming from the space inside the door, but Lin Shan could no longer feel it. Any feeling.

The moment the gate of hell opens, the lonely souls outside the gate crowd in like a tide, souls squeezing souls, and the scene is abnormal in the underworld.

But these soul bodies passed through Lin Shan directly.

Lin Shan's current state is that of a soul within a soul. Only when the soul dies again can it become an 'existence' state. Normal people will not remain conscious at all after reaching this state. He should be a special case.

"Let's go too." Xia Xuan said. She is in the physical state. These souls will pass through her and can flow through her as unimpeded as Lin Shan.

After passing through the gate of hell, Lin Shan felt something strange about his body. There were some thin black threads in his originally empty body.

My body suddenly felt a little cold.

Lin Shan looked at Xia Xuan.

Xia Xuan saw Lin Shan's state and explained: "It's normal to have a soul. Having a soul can give rise to a physical body, and having 'existence' can give rise to a soul. These things are all symbiotic, and 'existence' will record everything about you." ”

By the way, I popularized some science for Lin Shan, which is just a little bit of knowledge for her:

"At the beginning of the universe, all living things will not die completely."

"However, later on, more and more 'existences' were recorded in the universe, and it began to operate overloaded. At this time, the Sefirot Sea appeared. The existence of the Sefirot Sea is to maintain the normal operation of the rules of the universe and change the 'existence' format of living beings. change."

"The underworld represents the longing of all souls for immortality. It retains its 'existence' and can carry out infinite reincarnations. The underworld and the sea of ​​origin are in opposition to each other, and each has its supporters."

Lin Shan felt something was wrong. What Xia Xuan said conflicted with something he knew. "If you can reincarnate infinitely, wouldn't you be able to achieve eternal life? Why are there still extraordinary and even gods whose lifespans are limited?"

Xia Xuan was not surprised by Lin Shan's question.

"It's ridiculous to say that infinite reincarnation is only effective for ordinary creatures. If the underworld operates normally, ordinary creatures can indeed coexist with the underworld. However, once a creature embarks on the path of the extraordinary, its lifespan has already entered a countdown from the moment it sets foot on the extraordinary. If you don’t break through, you will die. Transcendence can also be reincarnated, but it is meaningless because the life span will not change.”

"Being extraordinary is competing with God for fate."

Lin Shan paused and said, "My life span has been..."

"Yes." Xia Xuan nodded, "You have no life left, so I said that you are dead, the real death under the rules."

"Then where are we going now?"

"Go to this place beyond the control of the rules of the universe, Earth."

"Earth?"

"Um."

After passing through the gate of hell, there was a mysterious and gloomy road in front of him. Lin Shan walked along it, feeling the chill under his feet.

Surrounded by vast gray and black, there is no life in sight.

The sky was also dark.

This road is Huangquan Road.

Huangquan Road is lined with tall black trees, with yellow leaves growing on the trunks and nothing on the branches.

The ground is a patch of uneven rocks, some of which are covered with moss, making them crumbling when stepped on.

Lin Shan saw many souls shaking on the roadside. This long-lonely road once again regained its previous prosperity.

At the end of Huangquan Road, there was a haze. Lin Shan looked up and saw an ancient bridge shrouded in thick fog. The wooden structure of the bridge was dilapidated and the railings above were also in pieces.

A black river flows quietly under the bridge. The bottom of the river cannot be seen and the sound of water cannot be heard.

Naihe Bridge.

It was just like the legend, but the bridge looked dilapidated, and there was no Po Meng beside the bridge.

Not to mention the so-called Meng Po soup.

The bridge was covered with souls who had lost their minds. They pushed each other and many souls were squeezed into the river. The souls that fell into the river did not make a splash and seemed to disappear out of thin air.

Crossing the Naihe Bridge, there is a high platform in front of you.

Wangxiangtai.

The legendary Wangxiang Terrace is located next to Naihe Bridge. It is the only place where souls must pass after crossing Naihe Bridge. It is also a place for the deceased to visit their hometown and miss their relatives.

On the gazebo, the soul can overlook the world where it once lived.

However, the Wangxiang Terrace in front of Lin Shan was extremely dilapidated and cold.

The buildings on the stage are dilapidated, the walls are covered with black vines, and the corners are covered with moss. There are only sighs and wails on the stage, and there are souls staring into the distance and shedding illusory tears.

This building is very special. It doesn't look very big, but it can accommodate no matter how many souls enter it.

"Want to go up and take a look?" Xia Xuan asked.

"Do I need to go through the entire process?" Lin Shan asked.

"That's not necessary." Xia Xuan smiled, "Then keep walking."

Continuing forward, there is a huge palace.

The three characters "Ecstasy Hall" are engraved on it, and the plaque is rusty and even has some cracks.

There is a huge dry well in front of the Hall of Ecstasy, with only some sand in it.

"Okay, there's no need to go any further. If you go any further, you'll reach Fengdu, which is just a dilapidated ghost town." Xia Xuan called Lin Shan to stop.

"What to do next."

"Go here." Xia Xuan pointed ahead. A red-tiled house appeared where Xia Xuan pointed. There were big happy words posted on both sides of the door.

"I will also return to Earth, but I have my own things to do and can't help you. The universe where the Earth is located also has extraordinary power. Although it is not as good as the gray mist, you must get it. Only by setting foot on the extraordinary again can you increase your lifespan. At that time, you can return to the gray mist and get back everything you have."

Xia Xuan looked at Lin Shan and said seriously, "You can only reincarnate as an ordinary person. If you die in the process, you are really dead, and no one can save you."
