Chapter Eighty-Four: The River Styx
There have always been legends about the River Styx in the Starlight Federation.
In the minds of the mages, the River Styx is even more mysterious than the Shroud, and although the Shroud is only partially explored, at least the Shroud still has a chance.
The River Styx, on the other hand, is completely ethereal, and only a demigod at the peak of mage's power has a chance to find it.
Legend has it that after death, the soul will be dragged to the River Styx, and finally fall into reincarnation, where it will start a new life somewhere in the universe.
For this reason, the River Styx is also known as the land of reincarnation.
On this day, an uninvited guest came to Styx.
Somewhere in the void on the border of the River Styx, a tall and gorgeous elk suddenly appeared, and on the elk's back, a blue-eyed, black-haired young man in a dark green robe was sitting.
"Wow!"
Su Xiaobai rode the Styx elk and it took several days to reach the border of the Styx.
And at the moment of entering the River Styx.
Su Xiaobai suddenly felt endless pressure coming towards him, and at the same time, it seemed as if countless chains were locking his limbs, restricting his movements.
And the Styx elk under him is a little very leisurely.
It was as if I had just come out of the bureau and returned to the clubhouse, which was a feeling of home.
A real home from home.
Looking at the magnificent scene in front of him, although Su Xiaobai was used to seeing countless strange scenes, he still felt shocked and inexplicable.
It's like a hillbilly going into the city and seeing everything is fresh.
Su Xiaobai also had no scruples to directly cast the Heavenly Eye Technique, and instantly took this range of heaven and earth into his eyes.
Countless "waterfalls" under the dark blue sky are flowing straight down, and above the sky, there are also twinkling stars, like stars.
From a distance, it's a spectacular sight.
But what disgusted Su Xiaobai was that the "waterfalls" were actually illusory souls.
And the so-called "stars" in the sky are actually mountains of corpses that make people's scalps tingle.
But the strange thing is that those crookedly shaped mountains of corpses actually emit a holy light.
This is outrageous.
For a while, Su Xiaobai couldn't tell whether this was hell or the River Styx.
Or maybe he's re-traveled to a cyberpunk world.
In the face of this vast world, it was difficult for Su Xiaobai to reach the edge of the sky with all his might.
Even throwing a star into the River Styx wouldn't be able to startle the slightest wave.
And there is no map in this place, so I still have to let the locals come, looking at the intoxicated look of the Styx elk under him, Su Xiaobai said angrily:
"Let's go down and have a look."
I don't know how long it took to float down before Su Xiaobai felt really close to the ground.
He also felt the pressure of heaven and earth on him increasingly, although for him, it was nothing more than a small backpack on his back.
But it still made Su Xiaobai's expression a little dignified, this world didn't look easy to mess with.
It seems that the order of this heaven and earth does not allow outsiders to break into, or it is very exclusive to creatures that do not belong to this heaven and earth.
What are the rules of the mechanism for the operation of this heaven and earth?
Su Xiaobai thought about it for a long time, and finally only came to one conclusion.
That is to quickly find a place and lie down happily.
After lying flat for three years, make up a random reason.
For example, he was swept into a small world in the River Styx, but fortunately, there was a lush forest in this world, and after wandering alone for nearly three hundred years, he successfully cultivated to the peak of the high level, and finally met the doppelganger of the Blighted King who was looking for him, only to find out that it had only been three years.
This little story is just perfect.
At least Su Xiaobai thinks so in his heart, and he doesn't accept any refutation, and if he dares to refute, he will send you to reincarnation.
He even thought about writing a book called "Adventures in the River Styx", and when he returned to the Starlight Federation three years later, it would definitely be a big hit.
Su Xiaobai thought about it for a while, and then decided to take a stroll around the area first, riding the Styx elk and floating all the way down.
After getting closer, Su Xiaobai realized that this was not a black ocean, but a pure black continent.
The continent is also covered with black vegetation, as if it blends in with the black earth.
Su Xiaobai gently made a move with his hand, and a pure black unknown grass appeared in his hand.
Silently feeling the ingredients, Su Xiaobai's expression quickly became strange, this vegetation was mixed with two different magical powers.
He didn't know one of them, but what about the other one that was so pure as the abyssal magic?
"How can there be abyssal magic in this vegetation?"
"This is the abyss."
"You are stupid to me, if it is an abyss, why don't I feel a trace of abyssal magic in the void."
"This is the deeper part of the abyss, and the magic of the abyss has materialized."
Hearing the Styx Elk say this, Su Xiaobai instantly gasped, and the bad premonition in his heart also turned into reality.
If these rulers find out, they will have to shed their skin if they don't die.
"So what the hell do you want to do?"
Looking at Su Xiaobai's eyes, which gradually became a little dangerous, the Styx Elk subconsciously cooled down, and hurriedly explained:
"This is the River Styx too."
Su Xiaobai: ......
It's really tiring to communicate with this fat deer.
"The entire River Styx is divided into 18 sections, which are also known as the 18 Underworlds, and each of the Underworlds has its own Hades to manage..."
Hearing the Styx Elk say this, it made Su Xiaobai a little dumbfounded, could this be the legendary 18th layer of hell?
This is not law-learning!
"The lower six realms extend directly to hell, and after endless years of erosion, the lower six realms have become as if they are the same as the abyss hell, but if you want to enter the underworld above, you must use the lower six realms as a springboard."
Hearing the Styx Elk say this, Su Xiaobai instantly understood.
No wonder the River Styx is so mysterious, it turns out that you must first go to the depths of the abyss.
Which TM dares to come? This is nothing short of an act of death.
Su Xiaobai complained a little weakly:
"Then why is the River Styx divided into eighteen underworlds?"
"This depends on the dead creatures themselves, if the good people who are good before they are born will be dragged to the upper reaches of the Styx, if it is the kind of evil people who do no evil, they will basically be dragged to the lower six realms, as for how the Styx is divided, I don't know very well, that underworld has a ferryman designated by the will of the Styx, and our Styx Elk clan is the ferryman in the upper reaches of the Styx."
With that, the Styx Elk raised its head proudly.
Shovel officer, do you know how awesome I am?
Hearing such an explanation, Su Xiaobai immediately understood, what is the difference between this and the 18th layer of hell?
Bad guys go to hell!
Then I should be regarded as a good person, after all, people were killed by the King of Blight, what does it matter to me Su Xiaobai.
"At that time, I also came out to relax, but I was lucky enough to meet you, my master."
Seeing Su Xiaobai in contemplation, the Styx Elk said with some resentment.
Who knew they could come out for a walk and meet this evil star? But life seems to be pretty good now.
"And what is this underworld called?"
"This underworld is revered by countless underworld creatures as the Grim Reaper Underworld, and the Hades of this underworld is also known as the Grim Reaper, and the ferryman here seems to be called the Headless Horseman."
Su Xiaobai: ......
