Chapter Twenty-Six: The Land of the Dead
Chapter XXVI: The Land of the Dead
There was a gray gloom all around, a faint mist shrouded in the air at all times, and the sky was obscured by dark clouds.
The Emperor and their car were parked on this barren plain, when did they come from the high-rise city to this inaccessible place?
The emperor and the others who appeared in the gray and white shijie looked so out of place, and the emperor scanned out his perception with all his might, but he didn't feel anything.
It's amazing how big it is!
It's like you've come to another shijie.
Is this really another shijie? The Emperor asked himself, but he also knew that this place must still be in the Shijie of the God Killer, at most it was just a virtual realm similar to the Netherworld.
The Emperor crouched down and grabbed a handful of sand, the gray-white sand slid down his fingertips, the sand was loose and fragile, and the land here was dead!
This is a place of death that ordinary people cannot set foot in, there is no life here, there is no hope!
"Looks like we've come to the right place."
Around, the Emperor began to speculate about where this place was with the knowledge in his brain, and the appearance of this kind of thing in the godkiller Shijie was obviously inseparable from the god of disobedience.
"It's terrible, if it weren't for the king's liliang shrouded in the car, we would all die here like those people before us."
Lily and the others lying on the car window were also amazed at the desolation and loneliness of this shijie, this is not a place where humans can live at all, and even the worst environment on shijie is much more vibrant than here.
"It's been so long since you've been here, and there hasn't been a 'welcome' 'person'? Could it be that the original owner of this place has completely disappeared into history? β
Erica guessed that the god didn't really die, and that when the myth disappeared and no one sang or preached it, it meant that the god would disappear with it. If this is the kingdom of a god in history, then it is only natural that it will become barren and desolate after his disappearance.
The reason why I don't think this is an incident that I think is that I just need to look at it to know that no one on Shijie can make such a big place of dead silence, even the king can't do such a thing.
Only those who have escaped from the myth can make such a strange place.
"Mist, death, empty space, is there a god like this in any myth?"
I've read a lot of things these days, but in general, it's still modern magic-related theoretical knowledge, and for this kind of myth and legend that has little to do with magicians, ordinary magicians won't study it, and naturally the emperor won't know about it.
"We entered here through the fog, so the fog must be related to that god, and death here should also be his essence, so I have a small guess."
Erica paused, this is not very reliable with what can be thought of, and if it is not said at this time, the consequences may be embarrassing.
"It's okay, it's a little reliable!"
The power of the emperor doesn't matter whether the identity of the god is right or not, as long as he appears, he can basically rest assured, the key is that he is afraid that no one will appear, and the emperor and the others will have to find a way to go back by themselves.
However, since even the Yuan Wunu has the ability to go back, there must be no reason why so many elites here can't go back.
"Well, I'll make a guess. According to the myths of various countries, consider Japan first, after all, this is what happened in Japan? But obviously, although there are no gods about death in Japan, there is only one hell in Japan, and it will definitely not be like this. We haven't seen either the other side flower or the Santu River, so we should rule out the Japanese gods first. β
"Secondly, the mythology of the major powers, the difference between the prefectures of China and India and Japan will not be so big, and it will probably not be such a ghost place. The underworld of Rome is the territory of the god of light, and it will never be so dark. β
"There is no light to bear, no water to drink, nothing to eat, but it is a bit like the hell of Greek mythology, but the legend of Hades and Tanatos, the Greek god of death, is famous, and their Hades will not be defeated to this point."
"So, I think this is probably the Hades of Norse mythology. Norse mythology has gradually disappeared from the world with the changes of history, and even most of the works that record Norse mythology have been burned by Christians as heresy. Considering the fog and death, there is only the Nibelungen in Norse mythology, the legendary land of the dead. β
Erica's consideration is not inconsiderate, and after listening to her round of analysis, the emperor also believed seven or eight layers, just waiting for any clues to be found.
Considering the peculiarities of Norse mythology, it's not surprising that their Hades would become like this.
Compared to other myths, the gods of Norse mythology are not so much gods as god-killers or magicians with powerful liliang.
The characteristic of Norse mythology is that Shijie is ultimately destroyed and even the gods cannot escape, which is the so-called Ragnarok.
"If this is the Nibelungen of Northern Europe, which god is most likely to appear? Odin? It seems like he was the only priest in my memory who died. β
It wasn't a solution to stop the car here after all, so the emperor sat down again, and casually pointed to a place for the driver to drive away.
"Although...... It is most likely Odin, after all, he is the main god of Norse mythology. But one can't fail to think about another, the goddess Hull! β
Erica plays the role of narrator, and Lily can't interject at all, and can only watch as the lord is attracted to the female fox little by little.
"Hull? Who is it? Unfamiliar name? β
After racking his brains and thinking for a while, the emperor still didn't think of this goddess in Norse mythology, so he had to spread his hands and continue to ask the insider.
"Hel, the god of death, the daughter of Loki, was born in Jutenheim, in the cold north; It was Odin who sent her to Niflheim (a reference to the Nibelungen) and put her in charge of the Netherworld. She is the Grim Reaper and the Lord of the Underworld. β
Erica briefly introduced this little-known goddess, which also gave the emperor a lot of knowledge.
"Now it doesn't matter if it's Odin or Hull who is running here, I just want to know how to lure him out, or her!"
Pulling his hair, the emperor is almost fed up with the unchanging gray and white shijie, even if there is a god who jumps out now to add a little color to this shijie.
Otherwise, the emperor would have thought that his eyes had become black and white televisions.
"The Nibelungen is the realm of the dead and the underworld in the same dimension, but the realm of the dead is not the underworld in Norse mythology, but to get to the underworld, you must first enter the Nibelungen."
"Getting to the point!"
The Emperor interrupted Erica's tirade, here is a case where you know how to quickly and concisely introduce the method, why do you say so much!
"Ugh! haodeοΌ Erica, who was obviously choked, regained her face in a blink of an eye, "If you want to go to the underworld, you must walk the rugged road of nine days and nine nights in the cold and dark places of the extreme north to reach it. That is, to move towards the north. β
"As for the Nine Days and Nine Nights, I think this should be an unknown ritual, after all, the underworld cannot be connected to the human world, and the so-called Nine Days and Nine Nights should be a concept. However, after all, most of the works of Norse mythology have been destroyed, and we can't speculate more. β
After saying that, Erica became very worried, if they really had to walk here for nine days and nine nights, they might not have enough food.
If this were a big forest in the outside world, even the Amazon rainforest, Erica would have found enough and delicious food to come out, but there would certainly not be anything that humans could eat.
"I think you're right, I don't want to stay here for at least nine days and nine nights. However, if it's just nine days and nine nights, it may not be able to be replaced by power. β
With one hand supporting his arm and rubbing his chin with the other, the emperor seemed to have thought of something.
If, as Erica speculated, the so-called Nine Days and Nine Nights were just a ritual, then could it be replaced by the power of the sun?
The Emperor thinks that Erica's speculation should be relatively reliable, no matter what myths and legends it is, the real heaven and earth and the like can't really be in the human world, and the so-called heaven and earth should refer to the upper and lower dimensions.
Otherwise, the human beings of this era would have ruined the heavens and the underworld of the gods long ago. Woban doesn't have to work hard to summon the gods, just find a place to dig all the way down, or get on a rocket and go straight to the sky to kill those guys who hold up the throne.
Just as the Emperor and the others were quietly listening to Erica's explanation, the sky outside changed, and a black drizzle was pouring down, which was even more polluted than the outside world in terms of color.
"It's ......"
The Emperor pressed the window and reached outside to catch a few drizzles.
When they withdrew their hands again, Erica, Saya, and Lily all craned their necks to look at them, each staring at the Emperor's hand.
The small round droplets of water are like beautiful black pearls, no matter the weird black gas that comes out from time to time, no girl will really carry it around her neck or ears.
"The rain of death in the sky, it seems that this is really the Nibelungen!" Now Erica can finally confirm it with certainty. There is a rain of blood in Hades elsewhere, but there will be no such black rain of silk.
"So can the disobedient god confirm it?" The Emperor hurriedly asked.
"Unfortunately, both Odin and Hull are actually in the same Hades, and no one can be sure who they will meet unless they are met. Of course, the possibility of two encounters cannot be denied. β
Speaking of which, for the god of disobedience, one is a treasure for the god killer, and the other is fatal. Even Woban and Luo Hao would not be arrogant enough to fight against the pluralistic gods of disobedience at the same time.
Because, no matter how much power you gain, there will be a probability of defeat in the face of the disobedient gods, which is inevitable. Every god is not something to be underestimated, and any carelessness will lead to lifelong remorse.
