Hearing Xu Xianxian's question, Ellie seemed to remember something, and there was a trace of inexplicable fear in her tone, and she said tremblingly: "I... I didn't know, I had arrived at the Hall of the Springs, but just as I was about to pass through the Togi Bridge, there was a great earthquake... I fell off the bridge, and when I came to my senses, I found that I had returned... With Litor the Great on top, I didn't expect to see little Decre one day, but everything was different from when I left..."

“？？？”

The other party's words were a little incoherent, and Xu Xianxian's face was full of question marks, and he couldn't help but press back the small axe that he pulled out.

"Tell me slowly, I don't understand. She tried to squeeze out a kind smile and asked softly, "What are the places of the Hall of Deep Springs and the Bridge of Tuomu? I have traveled from the far other shore, and I have not heard of these two places. ”

Xu Xianxian felt that things were not as simple as she thought, and directly grasped these two keywords.

"Deep Spring Hall," Ellie's eyes were full of memories and emotion, "that is the place where all souls belong, and as long as you walk across the bridge of Tomu, you will be washed away from your memories and reincarnated." I remember when I died at the age of thirty-two, when little Dickley was only sixteen, with short chestnut-colored hair and freckles on his face, and he was very shy when he smiled, and I remember that he had a crush on Bethle, the next-door neighbor Edward's family, and every time he asked me to help him come over for dinner, and..."

Although Ellie's voice sounded very young, her babbling words were indeed a real aunt, Xu Xianxian did not interrupt the other party's story immersed in memories, but tried her best to distinguish the meaning of each sentence in it.

Then her new discovery overturned her previous judgment.

The name of the owner of the log is most likely the little Derek in the other party's mouth, and Ellie is Delek's mother, not the daughter or sister that Xu Xianxian had guessed before.

When Ellie died, Delek was sixteen years old, and the creatures of this world seem to go to a place called the Hall of the Deep, a gathering place for the dead.

And when Derek was nearly fifty years old, Ellie was the return of the dead.

An inexplicable change occurred in the Hall of the Springs, causing the deceased to return to the present world, and the speed of time in the two places was completely opposite, or the deceased's perception of time was different, which caused Ellie's undead to be in the posture of a maiden, and Derek was over fifty years old at the time. ’

Xu Xianxian fell into deep thought, she recalled the information on the journal, and realized that the date of Ellie's first appearance in the journal was the third day of the collapse.

But Derek doesn't record in detail how he met his mother's young ghost.

In other words, the third day of the collapse begins when the system of life and death in this world begins to crumble. The earthquake in the Hall of Deep Springs that Ellie said is estimated to be at this time. ’

'Being able to have a complete reincarnation system and distinguish between the living and the dead shows that the energy level of this world is not low, but the reason why it will perish so quickly may not be as simple as Derek described. ’

What surprised Xu Xianxian even more was that Ellie was just an ordinary person's undead, and her soul limit would dissipate in one or two hundred years at most, but she seemed to have stayed for a long time.

Even the demon corpses imprisoned in this basement have been consumed for a long time, so what kind of existence does Ellie have?

Can this be applied to the ultimate experiment that pushes the limits of the soul?

Thinking of this, Xu Xianxian's breathing began to become rapid, and there was an inexplicable desire for knowledge flashing in his dark eyes, which was the instinct of being a legendary archmage, and when he encountered something that he could not understand for the time being, he would have this desire to explore and be curious.

Breaking through the limits of the soul is not only a matter of the Legendary Archmage's pursuit, but also an important thing pursued by all material beings.

There are many ways to extend the lifespan of the physical body, but it is not very useful to maintain the immortality of the physical body, most of them are limited by the limit of the race's talent, and the soul will naturally dissipate as soon as the limit is reached. This is the basic general rule of the operation of the material universe, and as long as it is not beyond time, there is no escape from this result.

Ordinary humans are short-lived, and their lifespan is at most one hundred and twenty years, and legendary-level humans have some rule exemptions, so the soul limit can be between five hundred years and two thousand years, and beyond the time limit, it will be the five decays of heaven and man, turning into flying ashes.

Fairies are immortal species, and they have the blessing of the World Tree, and their lifespan is generally more than a thousand years, and many of the legendary-level goblins have a soul limit of more than 10,000 years, and very few can last for tens of thousands of years. - But on the other hand, the difficulty of the elves to advance is much higher than that of humans.

As for the beings above the demigods, they have exceeded the material limit, jumped into the long river of time and passed the baptism, and they are semi-regular individuals, with a long soul limit, and different rules also make their limits different.

But in the final analysis, even demigods still have a soul limit, and they can only live forever but not immortal.

Only the throne of the true gods can live forever.

Ellie is only an undead, of course, she can't be an eternal, but this kind of existence seems to have far exceeded the limits of human beings, and even longer than ordinary legendary creatures.

'If all the undead could live for so long, I'm afraid this world would have collapsed a long time ago... Could it be that Ellie is special, that she has divinity in her?'

Xu Xianxian thought of a possibility, and a little greed appeared in her heart, so she slowly pulled out the small axe from behind.

She'd been pulling the little axe back and forth many times, and this time she had to smash the undead door anyway.

Smack-

While Ellie was still chattering about the past, the small axe flashed a perfect arc in the darkness, accurately smashing the dilapidated wooden door in front of her and the young girl's undead who peeked out of the crack in the door.

At that time, after the wooden door was shattered, Xu Xianxian found that her judgment had made a serious mistake, and behind the broken wooden door was not the undead girl she imagined, but an eye embedded in the wooden door.

"Damn, this place has blinded and distorted my mind!"

A series of misjudgments made Xu Xianxian, who was a legendary archmage, immediately react from the original confusion.

She finally realized that after being teleported into this bloody ruin, she had been blinded by some strange power, distorted and blinded by her thinking and judgment, and she didn't notice it at all.

But by this time, it was too late.

After the smashed wooden door was scattered, it did not fall on the ground around it, but was directly frozen in the air, along with Xu Xianxian who was wielding a small axe.

"You... Why would you want to hurt me...?"

The eyes embedded in the wooden door emit a very sad lament.

Hmmm-

Xu Xianxian's eyes, which were frozen in the air, turned black, and her beautiful little head flew out directly, and the entire basement was dyed with a layer of hazy blood mist.

......

......

After about a long time, it seemed that only a moment had passed, and Xu Xianxian woke up from the boundless darkness.

She subconsciously glanced at her hand, which had not changed, there was still an entity, and she touched her head again.

It's still there.

"Is my body dead and turned into an undead?"

Xu Xianxian remembered what happened before, couldn't help frowning, and muttered to herself with some doubts, but quickly overturned this idea.

After the death of the shell, her legendary-level true spirit subconsciously prepared to escape, but as if she was imprisoned in some cage, she could not break free at all, and could only fall into the same darkness as the shell.

In other words, I should have been dead just now.

But now it seems that he is not completely dead.

"It's a strange state... But the previous feeling of being blinded and distorted has faded. ”

Xu Xianxian noticed that her thinking was clear, and she was no longer as slightly confused as before, she looked at the scene around her, not the basement where she was before, but a church full of quaint style, surrounded by a faint light, not the gray place after the light was deprived before.

The whole structure of the building is stone, and there are two tall female statues on both sides of the church, and the statues are surrounded by bright red roses.

And after looking at it for a long time, there is still this faint tingling sensation in my eyes.

This made her heart sink, and she didn't dare to look more, but walked into the church along the steps with some curiosity, Xu Xianxian had a hunch that there might be a clue she was looking for.

"Chosen stranger, welcome to this Church of the Beginning. When Xu Xianxian stepped in, a neutral voice full of magnetism came from her ears, "When you came here, it means that you have been killed in a nightmare, and the power of matter alone cannot fight nightmares, only dreams can fight dreams." ”
