Volume 2 Chapter 1 The Lord of Extravagant Hopes

When Liu Xiao woke up, she was in the dark, unable to distinguish between up and down, and she didn't know whether she was standing or lying.

Raising his hand, he found that he could see his own hands.

He finally understood that it was not dark and lightless, but empty.

I tried my supernatural abilities and found that my abilities were gone.

Where is this?

"You're awake."

A voice came from all directions, it was a man's voice, but the age was inaudible.

"Who are you and where are you?"

Liu Xiao clearly remembered what had just happened, and if nothing else, she should be dead.

With a strong unwillingness.

In the frustration of not being able to return to the original world, Yuefei left the world in the grief of sacrificing herself to save herself, and she was unwilling to be unable to avenge her despite all her might.

"The underworld."

"The underworld? Am I really dead? ”

Liu Xiao withered, since he came here, it shouldn't be possible to go back, right?

All his hopes were ultimately disappointed.

As the frustration and sadness spread in his heart, the surroundings gradually changed, and he saw that he was actually a picture.

With their parents, they found themselves lying in the hospital, and after four months of coma, they finally woke up, and they cried with joy......

There is Yuefei, she blocked the fatal blow for herself, although she was seriously injured but did not die, she fulfilled her promise to marry her, and the wedding presided over by Si Dian himself......

and Su Gu, she and Huiheng also entered the marriage hall......

The pictures kept flickering, all of which were their own regrets, and they were modified to perfection.

Looking at his parents' joyful and weeping faces, he gradually became obsessed with it, and unconsciously raised his hand and got closer and closer.

Suddenly, the image disappears, as if crushed and discarded by a pair of hands.

Liu Xiao's face was full of anger: "What are you doing!" ”

"I'll tell you two little stories."

The so-called story is usually the answer.

Liu Xiao nodded.

The voice with a slight vicissitudes of life is eloquent.

"A long, long, long time ago, there was a place of nothingness, and nothingness is not a place, and it does not exist, I think you should understand."

Liu Xiao seems to understand whether she understands or not.

"There is no concept of time in nothingness, no concept of distance, where eternity is but a moment. At a certain moment, one existence is born out of non-existence, but at the same time, another opposing existence is born, and from then on time has meaning.

"These two beings grew up like human beings, but chose two very different routes, one of which became a world and the other into a ...... Person. ”

Person?

Liu Xiao was stunned, the world was born, and an existence was born at the same time as the world, is such an existence equivalent to the god of this world?

But the other party's later words made Liu Xiao understand that his guess was not entirely right.

"There are countless such worlds, the so-called thousands of worlds, but there are very few of them in pairs.

"Infinite years have passed, and the world has evolved in different directions, but there is one thing in common, that is, the existence of living beings can evolve the world to a higher level.

"The being who was born at the same time as the world also discovered this, He did not have the aura of living beings, did not have the nourishment of all things, did not have the evolution of the vast stars, He stayed at the moment of birth.

"Eventually, He became Him, He became the nourishment of the world, He became a vassal.

"There is not only one such being, and after one of them has lost himself and become a vassal, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, one of them has come up with a way. The method is very simple, take yourself as the world and re-walk the path of evolution.

"In order to complete the evolution quickly, they modified the speed of time change and the size of the world."

This is normal, small worlds pass time quickly, which can speed up the process of evolution.

The voice continued, "It is impossible for two symbiotic but opposite beings to coexist in harmony, and the fact that the first has been discovered means that the other beings will be discovered sooner or later.

"They have only two paths, one that evolves quickly and devours their opposite, and one that is discovered before they grow up and becomes vassals."

Two paths, the difference between life and death.

When the words fell, Liu Xiao waited for a long time without follow-up, and understood that the other party had finished speaking, but he still didn't quite understand, so he asked

"So, you're one of them?"

"No, you are."

Liu Xiao laughed: "You're mistaken, I'm not." ”

"You weren't once, but now you are. Not only you are, but all the beings of that world are, you are the beginning and the end, the individual and everything, the history and the future. ”

The smile froze, and he understood.

The former self was Liu Xiao, an ordinary person in the original world.

Now I am a person who has no background, a citizen of the Kingdom of God, and an inspector of Jinluo City.

That world was created by some being, and is in the process of evolving?

But why, why did you come here?

Liu Xiao asked loudly, asking if the other party had arranged all this.

"Don't you ask me who I am?"

"Since you are not the evolving Him, you are the opposite world." Liu Xiao had a flash of inspiration and immediately replied.

"Hehehehe, yes, I'm the opposite, the master of the world that is about to be devoured. If I have the ability to arrange everything, why don't I just remove the threat and pull you over? ”

"You didn't do it?"

"It's not me, you need to think about how you got here."

"Is it the painting I restored?"

There was no response from the other party, and Liu Xiao immediately thought that the other party might not know what she had done.

So he said, "I read the words on the painting and came here, and I have been looking for a way to go back." ”

"I can't give you advice, the only thing I know for sure is that since you can come, you will definitely be able to go back."

Are you sure?

Liu Xiao's eyes lit up slightly, and she thought of a possibility: "Is it to give up your current identity, or to become that existence completely?" ”

"Maybe, but I don't want you to choose the first option, because that would be my end."

"So who the hell are you, I mean what should I call you?"

"My names, there are many."

As the voice sounded, the ground appeared under Liu Xiao's feet, boundless, paved with black stone slabs.

Directly in front of him, a huge figure, unable to see clearly, shrouded in dark smoke, sat on an equally large stone chair.

Although the figure was far away, it was too tall and still gave people the feeling of being close in front of them.

"You can call me the Lord of the Dead."

Liu Xiao's heart was shocked: "Hades? Yes, this is the underworld. ”

There is no underworld in the myths and legends of the Kingdom of the Gods, and there is not even a mention of the soul, because the underworld and that world are opposites.

Liu Xiao thought of those soul pets, Xiao Yu could summon them to become his soul pets after death, but these soul pets had no sanity and didn't know who they were.

From another point of view, they are no longer the same people they were before they died, which is different from the myths they knew.

Liu Xiao fell into silence for a while, this is the first story, the amount of information is a bit large, he needs a little time to sort it out.

The underworld was born out of nothingness, and with the emergence of thousands of worlds, the underworld gradually took on the nature of the underworld, containing the dead of all worlds.

But there is also a crisis in the underworld, and the crisis comes from the existence of a certain opposite at the beginning of its birth, who in order to avoid becoming a vassal of the underworld, turned into a world, and is now in the process of evolution.

It is precisely because He is the opposite of the underworld that there is no reincarnation in that world, and when a person dies, he disappears forever and has no soul.

Finishing here, he thought of Yue Fei, his heart was sad, and the pictures around him began to emerge again.

Liu Xiao frowned and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"This is the second story, and it is also related to why you left your original world, and I hope it will help you return to your original world."

Liu Xiao cheered up.

"Once upon a time ......"

It's this beginning again.

“…… There's a kid about your age, and no one knows where he's from, but he just showed up and discovered the danger of the underworld.

"He forcibly came here without permission, came to me, and claimed that he could solve the crisis of the underworld, and I only had to pay a small price.

"At first, I just thought he was talking gibberish and didn't take it seriously, but after talking, I realized that there was something special about this child.

"He found all the worlds that had opposites, and gave each world a name, and each of them used a word to describe them."

Got it all? This man is free to come and go in all worlds?

Liu Xiao is short of breath, does it mean that as long as you see him, you can take me back?

"He told me that he called these opposites the poles, and that there were eight poles, and that I was only one of them."

Wait, this statement seems a little familiar.

"The extreme of heaven and earth is the eight directions?"

The Immortal Monarch who was sitting high suddenly got up from the back of his chair and leaned over to look: "What do you think of this?" ”

"The painting."

The Immortal King suddenly erupted in laughter, which spread all around, sending the whole world to shake.

In the boundless void around them, countless pictures emerged with the vibration, all of which were human tragicomedies.

Among them, there are similar worlds that Liu Xiao is familiar with, as well as various unrecognizable existences, and even various creatures that cannot be seen in human form.

It's a world of thousands.

"He actually wrote these contents on it, did he call the underworld 'extravagant hope' on the painting?"

"I don't know, but I do mention extravagance, fantasy, reality, and so on."

The Immortal Monarch muttered, "Extravagant hope...... He never called me the Lord of Hades, he always called me the Lord of Extravagant Hopes. The underworld is the grave of the dead, the end of everything, and all the dead who are attached to the underworld are trapped in their own imaginary world.

"Over and over again, unwilling to wake up, to make up for the wrong choices made in an illusory world, in vain to revise the established facts.

So he called it a luxury.

"I think you can understand why I stopped you from entering."

If it weren't for the Immortal Monarch to stop her, Liu Xiao was afraid that she would have fallen into a false fantasy world at the beginning and would never wake up again.

After another long time, the Immortal Monarch stopped talking, and Liu Xiao knew that the second story was also finished, but he still didn't understand.

"What did he ask you to do, and at what cost?"

"He told me that at some point in the future, I would meet someone with the opposite aura, and asked me to tell him a story and promise him one thing. He said that as long as I can do these two things, the future crisis can be solved. ”

Is this really a kid my age?

For a god-like existence like Hades, it is true that he can call himself a child in terms of age, but the person who let me come to this world without my permission, can he really call him a child?

Except for children, adults may not be able to do such a thing.

The Immortal Monarch slowly leaned back, the surrounding picture disappeared, returning to pitch black, and his voice came: "So what do you want me to do?" ”

Do what...... It's impossible to send me back to the original world, and it's impossible for that "child" to come to see me, and everything about that world should not be possible.

After all, if the underworld could interfere with that world, he wouldn't have to worry about the crisis of the underworld.

Then there is only one and only one request that can be made.

Liu Xiao smiled slightly and looked up.

"Hades, how about you lend me my life?"
