Chapter 148: Into the River Styx
"Darkness is the bell of death, and dreams are all dead in darkness, without dawn, and never to wake up. "The mysterious female voice sings in the dark sea, full of pathos.
The sound grew farther and farther away, in the direction of the River Styx.
In the darkness, blue light flew out, like a shooting star, it was the Storm Rose.
By the time Jokham Jones and his party arrived in the Dark Celestial Region, the collision between the Immortal Emperor and the Ancestor of the Bloodlines had already ended.
The demigod-level battle has caused irreparable damage to the Dark Celestial Region, with the exception of the River Styx in the center remaining intact, and the earth and ocean have been shattered.
Countless holes appeared in the surrounding space, and each hole was crawling with tumors, as if the world had cancer and was dying.
"The real world has been missing since then..."
Yorkham Jones muttered in a low voice, staring at everything in front of him, although the level of corruption was not as high as the Epoch of Destruction, it was only a matter of time, because the infection caused by chaos was irreversible.
Yorkham Jones didn't feel too emotional, he took a few looks, and then continued to lock on to the retrospective soul of the Daughter of the Sea with his eyes of light:
"Hansen, keep up, 17° turn on the front left!"
"Roger!"
Rumble!
Cannon roared, and a huge cannon rose in the bow of the ship.
The flames burst out a few feet, and the Wind and Rain Rose blasted a path directly out of the nodules.
Half an hour later, Yorkham Jones saw a brightly lit area of the Seagod Temple's fleet, surrounded by psionic lamps and Saori, a sea ritual, singing chants in the center.
Yorkham Jones didn't let Hansen turn, just looked at him from afar.
Saori also sensed Yorkham Jones, she secretly raised her head and swept towards the blue light speeding in the distance, and bit her upper and lower lips:
"Uncle... You promised me that you would come back safely..."
At this time, the old woman who took the lead in the Sea God Temple turned around, "The sleeping period of the Immortal Sea is coming to an end, and the infection in this area is getting more and more serious, you go back to the Sighing Bay first? ”
Then the old woman turned her head to look at the River Styx, looked at it a few times, and muttered:
"If I don't go back in a week? ”
"High priest, I want to stay? I want to wait until the last moment, until the boys and girls come back. Saori took a few steps forward.
"Yes, but you have to be prepared. The old woman pondered, looking at Saori's gaze softened a little, "In all the time I have been waiting, no one has ever returned. ”
"It's always going to work. Saori's eyes were determined, and her gaze was straight into the dark depths of the Styx.
On the Storm Rose, the cutie tugged at the sleeve of Yorkham Jones' shirt. Jones, aren't you going to talk to Sister Saori about something?"
"What should have been said has been said a long time ago, and as for the rest, there will be time after it is over. Yorkham Jones looked at the sleeping Caterina, and he could feel the life of the Son of Destiny weaken again, perhaps because of the recent outbreak, "and? our time is running out." ”
The Storm Rose still moved along with the roar of the cannons, except for the Poseidon fleet that she had encountered earlier? Yorkham Jones didn't see any pirates or ships, and he didn't encounter any undead?
Half a day later, the Jokham Jones approached the River Styx.
From a distance, the Holy Son and the Holy Maiden of the Sea God Temple stood calmly on the raft holding the spiritual lamp, the lights were connected, like the stars echoing in the night sky, some were still shining, and some were already dim.
As I watched, several more psionic lamps went out, and the lives of several 'sons of men' were devoured.
Yorkham Jones couldn't put into words how he was feeling now, he looked at the Son and the Saint in a daze, the flames of anger had taken over his entire heart.
The sons of these people come for salvation, for good wishes, and if they are right in their faith, then these sons can almost be a symbol of beauty.
But at this moment, these beautiful lives have been ruined by the lies of the conspirators.
[Jones... The conspirators behind it, why did they deceive these big brothers and sisters to send them to death?]" Qin Jing trembled inwardly.
[Because the soul... Whether it is to build the River Styx or to build the Kingdom of Death, it all requires the power of death, but death has been mastered by the Death Constellation, so the conspirators can only find another way to build death with the disappearance of the soul. Yorkham Jones bit his lip.
[That... Why do you want to choose...] Qin Jing looked at the pious and determined look on the faces of each of the holy sons and holy women, and her little heart throbbed twice.
[Pure... And the 'quantity'. Jokham Jones took a deep breath, [The kingdom of God is connected to the Godhead, and the Godhead is the soul of the gods, and if the kingdom of God is polluted, the gods will also be polluted. ]
[Therefore, even if it is a god of vain to build the kingdom of God, the things chosen will be the cleanest things...] Among them, the real world is the best basic material for building the kingdom of God. ]
[And these Sons before us, they are the most devout believers, they have been instilled with the mission of saving the Daughter of the Sea since childhood, so their souls are very clean and holy, and they are completely the best material for building death.] ]
Yorkham Jones paused for a few seconds and continued to speak inwardly:
[As for the quantity, it is because the soul, like matter, is fixed in total, and no matter what is done, it will only decrease, not increase.] ]
[Even if it is an extraordinary person, what is improved by cultivation is only the 'quality' of the soul, but the total amount will never increase.] ]
[And the 'quantity' of the soul is innate, and the total 'quantity' of the souls of these holy sons and saints is beyond ordinary people, and the best of them are completely several times that of ordinary people...] It's like building a house, where the soul of an ordinary person is just a stone, and these sons are a whole stone. ]
Then, Yorkham Jones looked at Qinqing:
"Which is stronger, a small pebble or a whole stone?"
"I see. Qin Jing nodded.
By the time the two communicated, the soul of the Lady of the Sea had already traveled back to the River Styx.
The Dark River Styx began to change, and the abyss-like darkness appeared a touch of blue, looking like a veil of light.
After a few moments, the Storm Rose came to the bottom of the River Styx.
Glancing up, Yorkham Jones took out the 'Pseudo-Life Fruit' from the Light Elf space.
As soon as the fruit appeared, a wave of energy gushed out from the River Styx not far away to resonate with it, and in just an instant, the fruit sprouted.
[Is it the Life World Rune?, or the Life Rune Mage?]
Muttering inwardly, Yorkham Jones threw the fruit onto the ship, and after a few more moments, the fruit grew into green trees, and the lush foliage enveloped the Storm Rose.
Then, the leaves glow green, forming a shield.
"Hansen, rush forward!" shouted Yorkham Jones.
Hansen did not answer, and after Yorkham Jones gave the order, the Storm Rose leaped high and rushed directly towards the River Styx, which hung in the sky.
In an instant, the Storm Rose poured into the River Styx, and everything fell into darkness.
...
Everyone encounters a wall that is infinitely high upwards, infinitely deep downwards, infinitely far to the left, and infinitely far to the right.
This wall is called death.
The River Styx is death, and when Yorkham Jones came into contact with the River Styx, he felt death more real than ever.
At that moment, time and space disappear, and all perception becomes a smooth line, without any change, without any movement, as if nothing exists.
Yorkham Jones wanted to be afraid, but he couldn't be afraid, because the mind is smooth, and even the thoughts are static.
Suddenly, the light came.
Blue and green light, 'movement' began to appear, smooth surfaces had raised points, and Yorkham Jones's mind appeared.
"Mr. Jones, how are you feeling?"
Fifi's voice appeared, and Yorkham Jones opened his eyes, and the world became real.
The green light is emitted by the green wood on the Storm Rose.
In the Styx, the green trees are more lush than outside, and the green light is dazzling, lighting up the entire Storm Rose like stars, and at the same time, these green light shields also resist the breath of the Styx surging around.
The blue light is the soul of the Daughter of the Sea, which looks like a river that travels back to the sea, and it flows slowly above the River Styx.
"It's fine, it's just that my head hurts, and it feels like I've been asleep for centuries. ”
Yorkham Jones rubbed his temples and got up to look around.
The River Styx has no end, there is no discernment, everything is still, and everything seen is the same in either direction, just like the death that Yorkham Jones had seen earlier.
"Why aren't they awake?" said Yorkham Jones, gesturing to the still sleeping crowd.
"It's going to take a while, after all, I usually use my body to touch the world, but now I use my soul, and it takes a period of adaptation. Fei Fei said.
"Yes. ”
Yorkham Jones nodded, helped the group to their chairs, and walked out of the cabin.
Looking at the flowing blue river, Yorkham Jones asked Fei Fei, who was following him:
"Is the Storm Rose moving?"
"Well, normally soulless things would be in absolute stillness when they enter the River Styx, but now the green wood that grows on the ship seems to be alive, and it is pulling the Storm Rose on its way. Fei Fei nodded.
"Walk?" Yorkham Jones frowned, for the verb Fei Fei described was very strange.
"Well, walk. ”
Fei Fei nodded, and the soul jumped out of the carrier, twisting a few red threads with her fingers.
Immediately after, the red line flew out of the green barrier, dragging back several Styx breaths, and combining them into a red-framed and black-faced mirror.
"The dimensional rules of different worlds are different, and it is impossible to observe the world across dimensions until we reach the realm, so what we see is only the appearance. ”
Fei Fei tapped her finger on the mirror, and the picture began to emerge.
A world composed of black stones appeared in the mirror, the black stones shone with dark light, each black stone was hundreds of feet high, countless black stones formed a corridor and area, and countless undead creatures lived in it.
Suddenly!
The Blackstone area shook, endless green light poured down from the sky, and two pillar-like roots descended on the Blackstone area, and it trampled countless undead with every step, but it didn't stop, and after a few seconds, it rushed to another area, it seemed to be looking for the power to resonate in the River Styx.
After a few seconds of the image appearing, Fei Fei's soul weakened, and immediately after, the mirror also dispersed.
"The River Styx is not a river, but a world of death, which is not yet complete, but it is already different from the dimensions of the real world. ”
Fei Fei took a deep breath, and the soul returned to the carrier:
"If we are aborigines, or if we have a regular view across latitudes, what we see is the picture in the mirror, and the two roots are the green wood on our boat. ”
Yorkham Jones pondered for a few seconds, and his voice was low:
"If a high-level undead creature attacks us, won't we be able to fight back?"
"Hmm. Fei Fei continued to nod, "We are intruders, and we can't see through the dimensional rules of this world, unless a domain-level transcendent drags us into the realm, otherwise we can't even see the way to attack." ”
Bang!
As soon as Fei Fei finished speaking, a loud bang came, and the Wind and Rain Rose suddenly shook a few times.
At the same time, the green wood on the ship swayed, and countless black lines like spider webs appeared on the trunk of the tree.
"Can only wait?" Looking at the increasing black lines on the trunk, Yorkham Jones was a little at a loss, because he couldn't see any enemies at all.
"Hmm... It should have just stepped on the undead, so the strong man inside chased after him. Fei Fei's expression was serious, and she looked at Green Wood intently, she knew very well that as long as Green Wood had an accident, then their group of transcendents who could only see the appearance could only wander on the River Styx until they died.
