Chapter 0333 - Styx (plus more for a monthly pass)

"Lady Moon is a moody deity who loves rituals of moon grass, seven-colored flowers, and soul stones...... The necromancers and the undead are within His protection. ”

"He holds the 'River Styx,' a river that is said to flow in the spirit realm and is only accessible to the dead...... Believers believe that they can be reborn through the River Styx. ”

"In every world's largest church, or the tallest church, the goddess performs miracles to make the River Styx manifest as a real tributary...... All believers, if circumstances permit, will throw their bodies into the tributaries of the River Styx after death, believing that in this way they will reach the kingdom of the goddess and gain a new life. ”

"Styx...... A river flowing in the spirit world? Haven't heard of it and haven't seen it......"

Sulu was eye-opening and excited at the same time: "With the scale here, I'm afraid there is no bigger church in the world...... Lady Mo Feiyue's tributary of the River Styx, also nearby? ”

Thinking of the large number of spirits invested in it, and thinking of his own attribute column, Su Lu had a hunch that maybe a batch of experiences could be harvested there.

After all, through experiments and tests, he became more and more convinced that the acquisition of experience points was related to the most essential point of the soul's 'true spirit'!

"Patrol the surroundings and look carefully, you should find ......"

Sulu originally thought that this would need to be carefully investigated and searched.

Contrary to his expectations, behind the church, he found the 'tributary of the River Styx'!

Because this is a place for believers to worship and sustenance, it is not a hidden place, and there are even road signs.

But the 'tributaries of the River Styx' that appeared were not quite what Sulu had imagined.

It's not in the form of a river, it's a huge lake!

It is an artificial lake made of pebbles and obsidian, forming a black and white pattern, surrounded by a circle of white bones.

What's more...... It had dried up, and there was not a trace of water in it.

"Styx?"

Sulu was inspired and did not observe any anomalies, not even from the spirit realm.

But he just didn't feel right.

Because the white bones here are not like worshipping, but like fleeing for their lives!

Most of them had their backs to the direction of the lake, and some had already run a long distance, but they still fell to the ground, and there was a collective smell of instant death.

And many people are absolutely extraordinary in terms of the hardness and decoration of their bones!

He came to the lake, in front of a white skeleton in armor.

This is one of the very few sacrificers who did not run away, but faced the lake head-on, and Bai Gu left a last word with his fingers: "O gods...... Why abandon us? Punishment for Styx? ”

The handwriting was carved deep into the marble floor, and it was clear that the deceased had been a very powerful knight during his lifetime, and he had a lot of grudges.

But in front of the waves of the River Styx, it is no different from ordinary people.

"Gods...... Styx ...... Abandon? ”

Sulu's inspiration was touched, as if he had seen a scene.

It was a boiling and noisy artificial lake, and a large amount of water from the River Styx poured in, and the transcendents around it screamed for their lives, but it was useless!

Death instantly enveloped everything, not even the people who were worshipping in the church!

"Is it the Moon Lady who manipulated the River Styx and harvested the believers here?"

Sulu was not a believer in the goddess, and directly fixed his suspicious eyes on him: "If this is the case, it can explain why the death here is so 'clean', and there is not even a single resentful spirit left......"

Because all the spirits have been recovered by the River Styx.

"Then why slaughter your own believers? Is Ms. Moon in madness? Or have the believers here turned away from Him? ”

Sulu couldn't think clearly, and he didn't want to think about it anymore.

"If the River Styx were still around, I would surely be able to find a clue from the spirit world...... So the only explanation is that after killing all the believers, Lady Moon's will left this world, and the tributaries of the River Styx here gradually dried up? ”

Sulu had some regrets.

But after thinking about it, he sent a shadow dove forward, jumped forward, and entered the bottom of the lake.

"It's safe! No traps! ”

"It's really like...... Everything is gone. ”

"There must be a secret to the relationship between the gods! But not in my hands...... What's more, from the news I got from the Ancient Snake Society, and even myself, the Seven Great Righteous Gods have been resisting the appearance of the same existence, and they will get a certain amount of attention from the beginning of the legend......"

Sulu sighed and walked over to the artificial lake.

There are also a large number of altars around it, with mottled and ancient traces, apparently used by previous believers in their sacrifices.

According to the rituals in the canon, after the death of a believer, the body is carefully dressed, decorated with moon grass and seven-colored flowers, and then placed on a boat made of thorn wood, and after a prayer ceremony, the boat is lowered into the lake.

When the ritual is over, the waters of the River Styx engulf everything, taking away the spirits of the dead.

"If Lady Moon really had a long period of faith in this life, and even drove the believers to build such a magnificent building...... Then the number of believers buried by water here may reach a terrible level. Among them, there are a large number of professional ......"

He jumped down to the bottom of the dry lake and picked up a pebble.

On the attribute bar, a light curtain appeared and popped up:

【XP+3】

……

"There really is!"

Sulu took a deep breath, and although the experience contained in this stone was weak, he glanced around.

It's a huge lake, and when it dries up, black and white obsidian and pebbles are everywhere, almost converging into the ocean!

"Looks like I'm going to stay here for a while."

Sulu smiled.

The reason why he explored the various ruins was to open up another source of experience.

And now, a rich 'warehouse' is right in front of him!

"Sure enough...... How could a world that once had the dawn of the gods lack experience? ”

Sulu clenched his fists excitedly, feeling like a rat had fallen into the rice barn.

"And the source of experience is really related to the true spirit!"

"Perhaps...... The River Styx has taken most of the spirits, but the remaining 'dross' alone is enough for me to harvest a large amount of experience and cross half of the legendary moat......"

Experience points are not only found in killings, but also in some old books and even strange objects.

Su Lu believes that these items contain some 'true spiritual energy'.

And here in the River Styx, the experience accumulated over time is quite terrifying!

Even, maybe the Styx took away not the energy needed by the attribute bar, they were left behind, and they settled here!

He was a little lamented by the impermanence of the world.

Unexpectedly, the Black Death Society and Lady Tsuki, who were regarded as enemies, helped him step on the threshold of legend with one foot!
