Chapter 2: The Land of the Dead
The three flowers gather at the top, and the spirit and spirit are mixed into one. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When human flowers, ground flowers, and ceilings are mixed into one, the bones and bodies are glorious and radiant, as if pieces of golden flowers appear in the air.
In the endless darkness, a dazzling golden lotus flower quietly bloomed, a little golden light mist swirled around, among the lotus, a naked man sat cross-legged, his body was like a jewel glass but a little purple up and down.
Slowly opening his eyes, Gu Liangyue knew that such a realm was the top of the three flowers, but unfortunately, he was a step slower, if he could have been a moment earlier, maybe everything would have been different.
"After death, people are still conscious." smiled helplessly, Gu Liangyue looked a little relaxed and casual, she was dead anyway, no matter how bad it was, how bad could it be?
Gu Liangyue began to look around, except for his own body, there was darkness as far as the eye could see, and it was so dark that it made his spirit appear in a trance for a moment, and he even wondered whether the surrounding environment was really so dark, or if he was "blind".
Of course, he knew very well that it was impossible for him to be blind, but this kind of darkness could arouse the fear in people's hearts the most, even Gu Liangyue could not avoid it.
Here, the concept of time and space is blurred, and he does not know how long he has been here, nor whether his position has moved.
Thankfully, he didn't have any human physiology in this place, like basic hunger, thirst, cold, etc., which he didn't have.
Maybe a day, a year, a decade, or even a thousand years have passed.
A small yellow dot suddenly appeared in Gu Liangyue's sight, that is, the size of millet, it may have appeared there for a long time, but it was only now that Gu Liangyue found it.
This was his only reference in this dark space, so he paid special attention to this yellow dot, and his eyes were fixed on this only yellow dot.
I don't know how long it has passed, and the yellow dot the size of millet has become the size of a soybean.
With Gu Liangyue's eyesight, he could already see that this was not a regular circle, but he didn't know what it was yet.
Then, Gu Liangyue's illusory body seemed to be greatly attracted, and he could clearly feel that he was moving quickly towards that yellow dot.
Then his consciousness blurred for the first time, like a sleepy man suddenly taking a nap, and his consciousness was groggy, and then he suddenly woke up.
At this time, the shock in Gu Liangyue's heart was indescribable.
The yellow dot that was only the size of a soybean before has become a behemoth at this moment, no, this can no longer be described in such a simple word as a behemoth, its size has reached the area of a continent on the earth, and Gu Liangyue can't even see the whole picture.
But for now, it's a huge gear set, bronze throughout, with the core of the whole gear set in the middle, a huge shaft, and around it are three constantly rotating pinions, which are not connected to each other, but are connected by the shaft in the middle.
At the outermost end is a gear-like ring that is connected to the three complete round gears.
The entire gear set was running at a slow speed, but what shocked Gu Liangyue the most was the scene above the gear set.
On the gear set, the houses are lined up one after another, but the styles are different, some look full of science fiction, some are medieval house style, some are the modern architectural style he is most familiar with, and some are the appearance of primeval forests, and if you look closely, there seem to be thatched houses inside.
What is this place!?
Le Zhengrong's heart has been completely covered with two emotions: amazement and doubt.
Before he could think about it, his body seemed to feel gravity and fell towards the gear set at a rapid pace, and for this situation, Gu Liangyue was completely helpless, even if he was now a master of the Sanhua Gathering Peak level, he couldn't have the ability to fly!
Interestingly, in the state of the three flowers, his mind has always maintained a high degree of sobriety, and at this time, he is still thinking about whether he will be thrown to death in the state of his soul?
The time to fall may seem like a long time, but it's actually just a moment.
In the next moment, Gu Liangyue saw his soul body collide with a person living on this giant gear set.
――――――――――――
It was an ancient Roman-style arena.
The huge battle platform was empty, and the spectator seats were already full and crowded, and the athletic tournament held at the beginning of each month was one of the few pastimes they could enjoy, of course, this pastime was only for these spectators, and for the players who had to participate in the competition, it was a matter of life and death.
Because, this arena has a special name - the arena of life and death!
Come here and live or die, there is no third situation!
However, in this usual competitive event, an anomaly appeared.
Gu Liangyue sat in a room that belonged to the contestants in a daze, this room was closed on all sides, and there was only one exit blocked by a wooden door, although it was a wooden door, but the contestants who came here knew that it was impossible to escape from this wooden door, because it led to the arena of life and death.
Now, Gu Liangyue's mind was full of chaos, some inexplicable memories were overlapping with his memories, and countless memory fragments poured into his consciousness space, passing through the golden lotus in the consciousness space and then integrating into his mind.
After a long time, Gu Liangyue's consciousness came to his senses, but his surprise did not diminish in the slightest.
It turned out that the place where he was now was a place called the Land of the Dead.
The realm of the dead, as the name suggests, only the souls of the dead live here, and Gu Liangyue's ability to come here proves that he is indeed dead, however, his situation is very different from the normal situation.
According to the memories that come with this body, if you want to enter the realm of the dead, you must first go through the assessment, and only those who pass the assessment can join the realm of the dead and reshape their bodies here, but it is obvious that Gu Liangyue has not experienced any assessment, and it is like taking away one of them to enter the realm of the dead.
It is not clear whether this situation has occurred to Gu Liangyue, because the owner of the body he took away is a "newcomer" himself, and he only knows some common sense in this world, but these common sense is indeed very important to Gu Liangyue, because in the realm of the dead, there are many taboos, and the slightest carelessness will cost him his life.
For example, the athletic conference he is about to participate in is not allowed to admit defeat in the competition of life and death, but there is another rule, that is, it is not allowed to fall off the field, and if you accidentally fall off the field, you will also face death.
After sorting out his thoughts a little, Gu Liangyue quickly accepted the current environment, as a hunter, if he can't quickly adapt to the unfamiliar environment, then he will probably face death again, and Gu Liangyue does not believe that he can be lucky enough to be reborn again, in this life and death competition, he must go all out.
Subconsciously stretched his hand to his chest, Gu Liangyue was suddenly stunned, this was just a habitual action of his, he came to this place, and even changed his body, but he still touched the ring on his chest!
Looking down at his chest, yes, this is his ring, it actually came here with him!
I'm afraid this ring really contains a huge secret!
After calming down, Gu Liangyue raised her left hand and glanced at the black mark on the back of her hand, which was the official resident mark of the country of the dead, a black skull, as long as it was a commoner, it would be used uniformly, and only after becoming a nobleman could you customize the mark to your liking.
Stretching out the index finger of his right hand and gently touching the imprint, Gu Liangyue was instantly connected to his own space for the dead, in this space, there were several ordinary items, a long sword, a steel knife, a bottle of potion for healing injuries, and in addition to that, there were neatly placed soul crystalline stones!
Soul Crystalline Stone is referred to as Soul Stone, which is the common currency in the realm of the dead, and it is also the source of life for their souls, although the souls get the body here, but this body is more like a container for the soul, their essence is still the spirit body, in order to maintain the existence of the spirit body, it is necessary to consume the soul stone.
However, the soul stone is not a permanent constraint for them, as long as their spirit body is strong enough, or there is some way to keep their spirit body from escaping, then there is no need to consume soul stones.
Gu Liangyue is one of them, and the Sanhua Gathering was originally aimed at the improvement of the soul, so his soul is extremely stable, and he does not need the energy in the soul stone to maintain himself at all.
If he hadn't taken over this body, the original owner of this body would only have lived for thirteen days, as only thirteen soul stones were stored in his dead space.
Through the communication of one of the swords and the sword through his mind, two blades instantly appeared in his hand, this sword was indeed made of ordinary mortal iron, without any special ability.
Gu Liangyue frowned slightly, he already knew from that person's memory, there were all kinds of magical props and weapons in this world, if the person who was going to fight against him next had it, he would be at a disadvantage as soon as he came up, and this was a competitive conference, there was no terrain that could be used on the empty battle platform, so that his lot of experience as a hunter would not be useful.
Even if these objective factors are removed, the biggest problem is that the body used by Gu Liangyue now is not his own body at all, the physical quality of this body cannot be said to be bad, but compared with his original body, it is one heaven and one underground, and the gap is too big!
Before Gu Liangyue could get used to the condition of this body, the only wooden door opened with a piercing creak, and the dazzling sunlight shone in, Gu Liangyue couldn't help but reach out to block his eyes, and at the same time he stood up.
This life-and-death race is finally his turn......
