The thoughts that come to mind are not one or two, but the prayers and supplications of thousands of people are intertwined, which is a huge shock to the mind, and it is impossible to distinguish who is thinking what, and even self-consciousness is drowned out. These were the thoughts that came directly to his mind, just like Amon's own thoughts, and he was also aroused by all kinds of desires, and his mind was turbulent. It is necessary to maintain a state of absolute wakefulness and be clear about the existence of self-consciousness so as not to get lost in it.

This "road" is very difficult to walk, Amon must always be clear about his self-awareness, the thoughts that impact his mind, and his self-consciousness is aroused by these thoughts. For example, there is also a longing in Amun's heart, longing for his relatives to be at peace after death, or even to be resurrected from the dead.

I don't know how long I walked, but I seemed to have passed through an invisible portal again. Neti turned around and said, "Goddess, please leave your necklace." "This is the third gate of the underworld, and the lapis lazuli necklace of the goddess Mu Yun disappeared out of thin air, and I don't know where it went.

After entering the third portal, the desires that came into Amun's mind changed subtly, no longer the self-prayers of the people, but more requests and ** for others and the outside world.

For example, a son prays to the goddess of Hades that his wealthy father will die so that he can inherit a huge family fortune, a woman wants her rival to enter Hades so that her beloved man can fall in love with her and marry her, some pray to Hades that their relatives and friends will live a long and healthy life, and some doctors pray to Hades that their patients will recover safely...... And so on and so forth.

Amun's consciousness is wrapped in this complicated desire, and he can only protect his mind from being swallowed up. All kinds of desires were just a flash, and he couldn't distinguish them in detail, let alone inquire about them one by one, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Can the gods hear this? But would the queen of Hades, Erebi, pay attention to this? Amon understood one thing, at least not bothered by the gods, for he had heard so much all the time.

Walking forward and passing through the fourth portal of Hades, Neti turned and said, "Goddess, please leave your earrings." "Goddess Mu Yun's shining starlight earrings also disappeared.

After entering this portal, what was imprinted in Amun's mind was no longer supplication and prayer, but all kinds of curses, resentment, and invective. This is very uncomfortable, and many people's curses and grudges are intertwined and rush directly into the mind, as if forming a force that can almost dispel the self-consciousness in the soul.

Is it normal for the gods to be abused? This is normal, for example, when people lose their loved ones, they will scold Hades for her cruelty, thinking that all this is her doing; some people are questioning Hades, why are there too many people in this world who should die but not die, and people who should not go have gone? It is also interesting to say that the desires behind this fourth portal are far less complicated than after the first two portals, or because most people in the world are afraid of death, cherish their lives, and there are not many people who believe in Hades and dare to curse Hades.

Continuing to walk forward, passing through the fifth portal, Amon suddenly went into a trance. If he hadn't walked in this void-like world, he would have almost fallen to the ground, because the world after this portal was completely different. He saw and heard many things, all the experiences of the life of the person who had just prayed and cursed—their prayers and their own actions, what they wanted others to do and what they did, the flashbacks of their minds at the moment of death, all the remembrance, regret, resentment, despair, or serenity. This is not to see directly with the eyes, nor to hear directly with the ears, or even to detect the sense of divine magic, but the world that emerges in the mind, and the vast number of beings can see so clearly.

Theoretically, this was a great opportunity for Amon to experience the human world, he didn't have to travel to the mainland to witness all kinds of human beings, but in reality, he couldn't and didn't dare to look at it, even in the deepest meditation, he didn't have the ability to discern such a huge amount of information in an instant. The only thing Amon could do was to calm his mind and let the thousands of scenes in this world flow naturally in his mind, without thinking or paying attention to it.

At this time, Neti turned around again and said, "Goddess, please leave your bracelet." The pair of golden bracelets on Goddess Mu Yun's wrists also disappeared.

Entering the fifth portal of Hades, Amon seemed to be able to see everything, but he could not see anything, which seemed to be the most painful torment in the world. I don't know how long I walked, but I felt a sudden sense of relief, as if I had come back from the dead. Then he heard Neti's voice say, "Goddess, please leave your breastplate." ”

The corsage on the long skirt of Goddess Mu Yun also seemed to be taken by an invisible hand and disappeared into the void. - It turns out that they have passed through the sixth portal before they know it.

After this sixth portal, it was almost the same as when I first entered the first portal, it was an infinite void, nothing existed, except for the clear soul, as if even my body had disappeared. Amon inexplicably felt that this place was different from after the first portal, but the subtle changes in it were not something he could sense clearly, and it was beyond the limits of his soul consciousness.

Continuing to move forward, it seems that there is a concept of time and space again, there is always a force in the dark that is blocking him, and there is naturally nothing in the void that can block the tangible, but he needs to continue to restrain his spirit in order to keep up with the footsteps of Neiti, and the bright figure of the goddess Mu Yun is his direction guide.

The Divine Sense of Divine Detection is no longer boundless and unfathomable, and there is a force around him that forms a sense of oppression, making him seem to exist in isolation in this world. Amun remembered that this was the place of Hades, the legendary place of the undead, and people since ancient times have had a kind of self-questioning: if a person dies, will he leave the world in which he lives, or will the original world disappear in relation to him?

When this kind of interrogation arises in the heart, a boundless gloom pervades the soul, and a force surrounds and invades the soul, and the spirit seems to be under some kind of control. The power was deeply awe-inspiring, and Amon had to stay awake, suddenly not knowing where to rest.

At this moment, Neti stopped and said, "Goddess, ahead is the last portal to Hades, Lord Erebi Hades is waiting for you there, please leave the robes first." ”

When passing through the seventh portal, the situation changed a little, in the past, it was only after the portal that Goddess Mu Yun was asked to leave things, but this time she was asked to stay in advance. There was nothing left on Goddess Mu Yun, only a golden dress.

With Neti's voice, the goddess's long dress disappeared, and she was completely ** like a newborn baby. Amon stood behind her side, the goddess's delicate body the only and most beautiful silhouette in the boundless gloom. Just when Amon suddenly didn't know where to rely on, when he saw such a moving female body, he simply focused on admiring it - beautiful, beautiful, so beautiful that it is like the fantasy of every man in the world, and Amon is also a man!

Passing through the six portals of the underworld one after another, Amun, who had never been distracted, finally lost his mind. He asked himself in his mind - Is this my dream, my dream as a man?

As soon as this thought arose, the naked Goddess Mu Yun in front of her seemed to have turned into Echo Maria. When Amon met Echo, she was a weak girl, he had never seen her body, but he had hugged her in his arms and felt it, was that right?

Mu Yun is very beautiful, very beautiful, but it is not the beauty that Amon wants to have most in his heart, or it is not the beauty that he most desires to appreciate in his dreams. If Mu Yun knew that Amon would think like this when he saw her [***], he didn't know how angry he would be. But as the goddess herself said, she could perceive all kinds of emotions and feelings in Amun's heart, but she couldn't fully know what he was thinking.

Just as Amon was looking at Mu Yun's delicate body with an irrepressible desire surging in his heart, Mu Yun's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Bad boy, it's cheap for you!" But now is not the time to think nonsense. Don't talk when you see my sister, and she won't ask you or anything. ”

Then the goddess rebuked her forward: "Neti, if you dare to turn back, I will seal your eyes forever!"

It's not fair, it's not fair! Amon saw everything, and Neti couldn't even look back. At this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had crossed back into the real world from the void world, and Amon realized that he had not gone anywhere else, but was walking in that huge cave, because in front of him was a hall formed of a rock cave, but it was decorated with all kinds of treasures.

At the top of the cave, there are many sacred stones that glow softly, like a starry sky. There was a gorgeous chair on the high platform in front of her, on which a woman was half-lying and half-sitting, holding a staff and wearing a golden crown, looking at Mu Yun who had just appeared in the cave through the portal. Her face was somewhat similar to Mu Yunyi's, her long brown hair draped on the armrests and hung down to the ground.

In the temple of Akkadian Town, he had seen a relief on a wall, among which was the goddess Mu Yun, and he realized why he felt that Inanna was particularly familiar. And in the reliefs of those gods, there is also a woman in front of her, her facial features and figure are almost perfect, but the bridge of her nose is a little high, the tip of her nose is a little pointed, and there is a deep and awe-inspiring aura in her eyes.

"My sister, I'm glad to see you like this, why did you come to my Divine Domain?" Erebi half lay on the chair and didn't get up, but his eyes looked directly at Mu Yun**'s body. Her expression was clearly marked with ridicule and humiliation, and under the light of the divine stones all over the roof of the cave, Mu Yun's moving body was delicate and unconcealed, and her full **, slender and strong waist, and the shallow pubic hair under the lower abdomen that was tied between the legs were all very clear.

Mu Yun stood in front of another goddess in shame like this, what an embarrassing scene, but she puffed up her chest and said with a face: "My sister, the Queen of Hades, I brought a child, he is a survivor of Duke Town. I brought him to see his relatives in distress for the last time, they are the guardians of my divine domain, and I can make such a request. ”

Erebi said in a mocking tone, "Child? I don't think he's a child, is he? Well, a child indeed...... Mu Yun, you can indeed make such a request. I don't know what the words of the queen of the underworld mean, although she said Amun, her eyes never looked at him, as if she was ignoring the existence of Amun, a mortal.

With a slight wave of his hand, Amon abruptly left the hall where the two gods were. He didn't know what kind of world he had come in, a bit like the situation after the first portal to Hades, surrounded by an infinite void, as if the world didn't exist, or that he no longer existed.

Amon unleashed his detection magic to look around, and found that a dark shadow in the void had spread out and condensed into the appearance of many people. Amon recognized his father at a glance and hurriedly pounced, spreading his arms in an attempt to hug him.

However, Amun held an empty space, and his father's soul was in front of him, but it seemed to be far away, and he could not touch it, and he hurriedly shouted: "Father, it is me, Amun! Your son has come to meet you in Hades!" But the father did not respond, as if he could not hear Amun's voice.

Amon used the information magic in a hurry, turning what he was going to say into a magic message and directly reflecting it into his father's soul. The senseless soul seemed to be suddenly awakened, the father lowered his head, looked at Amon with tears in his eyes, and said, "My son, are you really back?

Didn't the father know that he was dead, or that his soul had been imprisoned in some strange state? Amon cried out, "Father, this is Hades, and I have come to find you......, who have passed away," and he burst into tears, and he had a thousand words but did not know what to say.

When my father heard this, he seemed to be greatly shocked, raised his eyes and looked ahead, and muttered to himself, "Yes, I am dead...... Floods, floods from the Syrian Plateau...... Son, my son, I just want to tell you one last word, don't live like me!"

Amon hugged his father's legs and replied tearfully, "Father, I have finally seen you and heard your heart!"

The father looked down at Amon with a relieved smile, Amon looked up at his father, and found that his father's face gradually changed into the youngest and most handsome in his life, and then dissipated in Amon's arms. Tears dripped down Amon's body, but they didn't know where they fell.

Amon wanted to cry loudly, this was really the last time, and he would never see each other again! But at the same time, he also had a sense that his father's soul should be liberated, and he had left this underworld, no longer under the indulgence and control of some force.

Amon knelt in the void and wept, knowing that he would never see his father again. Did he leave more regrets with fulfilling this last wish? His heart became empty, and he didn't want to think about anything more. At this moment, a man came out of the shadows, came to Amun, and said, "Is it, Amon, you are not dead, but you can enter this underworld!"

Amon was taken aback, his father's soul had no sense just now, and he used the information magic technique to wake him up, but this person's soul was able to come over and talk directly, and when he looked up, it was actually Mayor Dasty.

Mayor Dusty seemed to see Amun's surprise and explained to him, "I don't know why I saw you, but I suddenly heard your voice just now, as if I had been awakened from my slumber and realized what had happened. I used to be a sorcerer, a priest of Duketown, and I knew how to guard my mind. ”

Amon stood up and said, "Lord, don't you know that you're dead?"

Dusty looked sad: "In that moment, there were many desires that blinded my mind, like a shackle to my soul. Thank you for coming here to awaken my soul. Child, I have two things that I must explain in order to be liberated. ”

Amon: "Mayor, tell me anything!"

Dusty: "My son Moses studied at the academy of the city-state, and his servants were also townspeople from Duc. When the calamity struck, I happened to send a group of men to the city-state to pay tribute, and at the same time to bring something to Moses, who should have survived together. I don't know what is happening to this child, but if you can get out of here, please find him and help him. All the land deeds in Duk are in the hands of Moses, and I hope you can guide them to rebuild their homes. If Duk is no longer uninhabitable, then find another land, at least its descendants are still there. ”

His wish was actually the same as that of Goddess Mu Yun, and Amon finally understood who the other survivors of Duke Town were. How could Amun refuse another father's love for his son when he came to Hades to look for his father?" he nodded, "Rest assured, Lord, I promised the gods to do this, and of course I will promise you. I will find Moses and guide them back to their homeland to rebuild their homeland. After the flood, it will be fertile ground. ”

Dusty smiled with relief and nodded, "The second thing I want to say has to do with this place. It was you who awakened my soul, and when I woke up, I realized that the underworld I was in was actually a space where my soul was imprisoned. The master of Hades is using a kind of magic to indulge the undead, and while I don't know what her purpose is, I know that this is not the true destination of souls after death. ...... At this moment, I seem to have seen a lifetime and understood the doubts of this life, thank you!"

After saying this, Dusty's soul slowly disappeared in front of Amun, but Amon stood there motionless. He has a singular sense that travels through Dusty's life, but this moment is so long that it can even subvert people's understanding of the concept of time. When he came to his senses, Dusty was completely gone, and Amon had witnessed it all as if he had seen it all in a dream, but it was as if he had remembered nothing.

Further on, there are many familiar figures, including Xiao Gu, who once framed him, and Ma Qi, who died long before the flood. Amon suddenly realized that he had been given the ability to feel the emotions and joys and sorrows of these people. Isn't this what Mu Yun said is an ability that only gods have? Amun felt that this ability was not acquired, but awakened from oblivion, was it because he was dealing with a soul rather than a real living person?

Amon first ignored Xiao Gu and Ma Qi nearby, and walked past them to another person, the aunt of his neighbor's house, the woman who often sewed clothes for him, and used a magic message to awaken him...... The soul does not lie, there is no disguise, it is a completely naked mind. As more and more people spoke to him, souls continued to dissipate and depart in the underworld. It didn't take long for Amon to suddenly hear an angry voice shouting: "Mu Yun, I'm afraid the person you brought is not only for seeing your relatives! He has let too many undead people get out of my underworld, I can't tolerate this kind of behavior, this person must stay and be punished!"

When he heard this voice, all the souls around him disappeared, and Amon fell into the boundless void world again, and then heard Mu Yun's voice in his ears: "Queen of Hades, the undead magic has its own rules, and Amon didn't mean it." ”

Erebi: "But he let go of so many undead, I can completely detain him as my slave to compensate, this is my divine domain!"

Mu Yun also shouted angrily: "He is the lost lamb in my flock, I must take him back!"

Erebi replied with a sneer, "You bring him, of course you can take him away." My sister, as a god, you should know the rules here, and you can exchange another person for Amun. But for you, I have an additional condition, the person who sends him in exchange must be a man, and it must be a man you love...... Neti, send-off!"

After these words, Amon did not hear Mu Yun's voice again, and the chants of Queen Erebi echoed in the underworld, and this song was very familiar to Amun, which Gilgamesh had sung when he met Yinnana - "You have not changed your heart to whom you have loved? How many times do you weep for you every year, O young lover, who weeps for you every year? The shepherd whom you loved, who stacks the most beautiful snacks in front of you, slaughters the most beautiful lambs and feeds you, and he is finally whipped and turned into a wolf." Your beloved bird has broken its wings, and your lion is wandering ......with his wounds."

Erebi's singing faded away, like the souls of Hades, and everything fell into an infinite silence. Amon realized that he had met with the worst he could expect—trapped in the underworld.

Erebi made a condition to Mu Yun that she exchange a man she loved for Amun. Amon already knew that he was not the only surviving descendant of Duke Town, and Mu Yun might not have to find him if he wanted to rebuild the Divine Domain, and it didn't seem worth it or need to do so.

Before entering the underworld, Mu Yun told Amon about this possibility, and said that he could wait for her to save him, or he could find a way to escape by himself. It seems that Amun has managed to get out on his own this time, but how can he, a little fifth-level magician, escape from this seemingly boundless underworld?
