"Where are you taking me?" You're not familiar with this place? The
Nether God, pulled by Long Chen, ran down the Nether God Tower, calling out somewhat at a loss.
"There's a city over there. Let's go have some fun there." Long Chen pointed to a city in the distance and smiled.
"That is Miluo City, the residence of mortals from the underworld. What's so interesting about it?
And although it looks close, it's actually separated by the Three Empty Lands. For you now, it would take at least three years of running to get there. "The Underworld God frowned slightly.
"Whoa, it's that far?" But you definitely have a way. Long Chen was slightly startled, then smiled and said.
The Nether God looked at Long Chen's expectant expression, seemingly embarrassed to refuse. With a wave of her jade hand, countless runes appeared ahead, forming a portal.
The Nether God led Long Chen through the door. When they stepped out, Long Chen and the Nether God found themselves in a bustling city.
Long Chen looked back and found the portal had vanished, and looking toward the Nether God Tower, he couldn't see anything at all.
"There is a distinction between immortals and mortals, and the Three Voids are isolated. Here, you can't see the Nether God Tower, and these people can't see us either." The Underworld God said.
"What is Sankong?" Long Chen asked.
"The Three Emptinesses are a kind of 'three no's' spaces, without the laws of the Heavenly Dao, without the barriers of the world, without any life attached.
In fact, I have never studied the Three-No Space. It is an extremely strange existence that separates the underworld from the mortal world, allowing gods to descend. However, mortals must have sudden enlightenment and ascension to cross the Three-No Space.
And once you ascend, you can never return. The Three-No Space separates past and future, and only I, the ruler of the Underworld, can freely travel through. Even Leng Yueyan can't enter here. "The Underworld God said.
Long Chen was startled and asked, "Could it be that this Three-No Space is the last barrier our Tianwu Continent experts mentioned?" Once he breaks through, becomes an immortal or a god, ascending in broad daylight? The
Nether God shook his head and said, "It's different. I've been to the Tianwu Continent, and the laws there are completely different."
Moreover, the Tianwu Continent has powerful heroic souls guarding it. Even if I go in, most of my divine power will be stripped away, otherwise I would have ... back then. At
this point, the Nether God didn't continue. Long Chen's face instantly flushed hot; he knew exactly what the Nether God was referring to.
But Long Chen pretended not to hear and asked, "What is a powerful heroic spirit?" Even you have to be wary of him? "
Could it be the Great Emperor?" Wait, no matter how strong the Great Emperor is, how could he possibly threaten the gods? If he really was that strong, how could he have fallen?
"I'm not sure about that either. Their power is terrifying, connected to the laws of the Tianwu Continent. When I come to the Tianwu Continent, I must also abide by its order.
Let me put it this way: Tianwu Continent is not an ordinary continent. I've observed it for a long time, and it's very likely to be a star region core. "The Underworld God pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Star Domain Core?" What is that? "Long Chen had never heard of it before.
The Underworld God said, "This world is vast beyond your imagination. A single star can nurture life, and it itself is a living entity."
Because tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of stars, combined to form their own operating system, this is called a star domain.
As you mentioned before, these stars operate according to certain laws, and the core controlling this law is a massive star—this star is called the Star Domain Core.
However, the Tianwu Continent is not a complete core; it has suffered severe damage, leaving only the core of the star domain, riddled with holes and looking on the verge of collapse at any moment.
But even so, the laws it possesses remain terrifying. Even I wouldn't dare to confront it on the Tianwu Continent. Long
Chen was shocked; he hadn't expected that the Tianwu Continent he was inhabited would have such a terrifying background.
Suffered a major blow? Could it be referring to the Immortal Ancient War? A fierce battle that nearly shattered the core of a star domain—what kind of battle was this?
Off-topic, off-topic, we can't continue on this topic, because Long Chen noticed that the Underworld God's eyes were becoming clearer and gradually showing signs of sobering up.
"Let's not talk about this for now. You know I brought you here..."
"I brought you here." The Underworld God corrected him.
"Ahem, if you say that... You ... Well, you're right. Long
Chen originally wanted to argue, but found there was nothing to argue with. Still, this twist made the Underworld God laugh.
She realized that Long Chen was a strange character, as if he was born without reverence, his heart bigger than the sky, as if nothing in this world could make him worry so much.
Being with Long Chen makes you feel incredibly relaxed, lets go of all reserves, and feels free and at ease.
"I'll take you to understand the true meaning of life." Long Chen smiled and reached out to grab the Underworld God's hand.
This time, the Underworld God's jade hand trembled slightly, clearly unaccustomed, but in the end, she didn't break free from Long Chen's hand and walked side by side with him.
Ahead was an ancient city, with three large characters carved on its gate, but it recognized Long Chen, while Long Chen did not.
"Miluo City, hmm, those three characters are written decently, just a bit lacking in force." Long Chen led the Nether God to the city gate. Long Chen looked up at the three characters and nodded.
"Pfft,"
the Underworld God laughed, "That's Zhengyang Gate." Long
Chen's face instantly stiffened, wishing he could spank himself. Showing off was too big to take back, and it was all about embarrassing himself at grandma's house.
But who is Long Chen? His skin was thicker than the city wall, and he chuckled, "Of course I know this is Zhengyang Gate. I'm just lamenting that within Miluo City, there isn't a single true calligrapher who could produce such a calligraphy. It's a bit lacking in grandeur." The
Nether God didn't argue with Long Chen, just smiled at him. Long Chen pretended not to see the Nether God's gaze and pulled her into the city.
This place was no different from the Tianwu Continent; there were many cultivators here, but their auras were completely different from those of the continent. Still, Long Chen could discern their strengths and weaknesses.
According to Long Chen's estimate, the strongest experts here could only rival the Divine Transformation Realm on Tianwu Continent, posing no threat to him at all.
However, after Long Chen entered the city, many people looked at him with strange expressions, and their gazes made him feel a bit uneasy.
"Did they realize I'm from out of town?" Long Chen asked curiously.
"Your cultivation is higher than theirs. They can't tell; it's just that they can't see me." The Underworld God smiled.
Long Chen suddenly understood. He held the Nether God with one hand. No one could see her, and his walking posture naturally appeared strange to others.
"Stop messing around, or people will think I'm an idiot." Long Chen said with some complaint.
The Underworld God smiled faintly and gradually manifested his figure, walking side by side with Long Chen. Along the way, the Underworld God's attire,Very eye-catching, after all, the black long dress seemed untouched by anyone in the mortal world.
Long Chen was also dressed in a pitch-black robe, perfectly matching the Nether God. The two moved through the crowd, watching the busy figures around them. Long Chen spoke:
"The bustling crowd is all for profit." Simply put, it's all about desire. Everyone has their own different goals and is striving for them.
Whether ordinary people or emperors and generals, everyone is busy pursuing their own goals. But most people don't know why they're busy, and few take the time to stop and ask themselves. The
Underworld God smiled and said, "Have you ever asked yourself?" "
Yes, I often ask myself, often reflect on everything about myself, what am I living for?"
"Do you have an answer?"
"My goal in life is to let those who love me and those I love live happily and peacefully, free from bullying." Longcheng looked at the Underworld God and spoke with deep affection.
Under Long Chen's gaze, the Underworld Goddess unconsciously began to feel her heartbeat quicken, and she was somewhat afraid to meet Long Chen's eyes.
There seemed to be a burning flame in Long Chen's eyes, an emotion that made her a bit nervous and at a loss.
The two traveled together, experiencing the myriad facets of the world. At this moment, they completely forgot their cultivation and merged into this chaotic world.
At first, the Underworld God seemed out of place in this world, but with Long Chen's guidance, she gradually forgot her identity as a deity and began to see the world from the perspective of an ordinary person.
She used to be a lofty deity. Overlooking all beings in the vast world. She is supreme, but also lonely and isolated.
In her eyes, the mortal world was like an ant's life, something she had never paid attention to.
But today, he had stepped into the mortal world. But she discovered that the mortal world was not as humble as she had imagined; she saw even more the familial affection that mortals possess.
The underworld god saw a little girl holding a string of candied hawthorns fall to the ground, the candied hawthorn stained with mud and inedible.
The girl's mother coaxed the little girl while taking out three copper coins from her crumpled purse and bought her a new string. The little girl immediately broke into a smile, and the underworld god was so stunned that she stared blankly.
Long Chen said, "Those are the only three copper coins she carries. Maybe she bought candied hawthorn, so she might go hungry tonight."
But in her eyes, her daughter's happiness is what matters most. Some might say she's foolish, thinking that three copper coins could buy a dozen or so steamed buns, and she could eat them all day.
But sometimes life is just like that: only your feet know if your shoes fit, and only you know if you're happy or not... What's wrong with you? "
Long Chen suddenly noticed that unconsciously, tears had covered the Underworld God's pretty face. Feeling a bit helpless, he reached out to wipe the tears from the Underworld God's face.
The Nether God said nothing, letting Long Chen wipe her tears. After that, the Nether God didn't say a word the whole way.
Long Chen knew he was doomed. The Underworld God's drunkenness had completely vanished, and he could no longer fool her. He didn't know what had stirred the Underworld God's heartstrings and stirred her emotions. She could no longer maintain a mortal mindset. The divine power began to slowly recover, and Long Chen knew his plan was over.
The Nether God didn't want to continue wandering. She led Long Chen to a high mountain outside the city, beside a waterfall. The Nether God gazed at the waterfall for a long time before slowly turning to Long Chen and saying,
"Long Chen, I want to ask you something. That day, when you jumped, did you think about me?"
