Chapter 413: River of Pain, Charon
In the world of Kaos, it is said that after death, the soul after death, if not trapped in the human world, will be dragged through a period of boundless darkness by inexplicable power before reaching the entrance to the underworld and entering the underworld. And that place of boundless darkness is the land of eternal darkness opened up by the Lord of Darkness, Orepus, and it is also the place where the human world and the underworld meet.
This land of eternal darkness is named after the Nether God Dark Lord Orepos, and it is also the world he created with his great supernatural powers, which is no different from the divine realm of the gods.
Orepos is the son of the Chaos God Kaos, the brother of Gaia, the Earth Mother, and the husband of Nix, the goddess of the night. He slept in his kingdom all year round, but no one dared to disrespect the gods who came and went.
In the eternal darkness and silence of Orebos, his master had warned the gods that they could walk through it at will, but they could not speak in it or make any fire, or they would be punished by darkness.
Before the Zhou clan came to Kaos, he had heard Yang Mei mention that when he was in Kaos, five half-step Heavenly Dao level besieged him at the same time, although he was hit hard, he did not fail to teach these people a profound lesson, except for the Earth Mother Gaia's unknown injury, the others were also hit hard, among which Orui Bos was directly beaten back to the dark place by him to sleep.
Therefore, when the Zhou clan came to Kaos, he probably didn't need to care about the existence of Orry Persia at all, but he was not afraid of ten thousand, even if he was a sleeping existence, but after all, he was at the half-step Heavenly Dao level, if he really chose to pass through the dark place, even if he didn't have the absolute certainty that he would not wake him up. This is another reason why the Zhou clan does not choose to enter through the Netherworld entrance.
After the soul emerges from the land of eternal darkness, it passes through the gates of the underworld, through the rushing river of pain, and comes to the field of truth. And the souls of men will be in this countryside, and the gods will determine their whereabouts.
Their places are roughly divided into three places: "Aspertros", where ordinary souls live, "Elucion", where heroes live, and "Tartalus", where they are punished.
There are the most people in Asperdros, and they are the place where all ordinary souls live. But to get to Asperdros, you must also pass through several other rivers of the underworld, the river of abomination, Akron, the river of remorse, Churi Plegton, and the god Lert, the river of oblivion, and when they wash away their sins in these rivers, they can enter Asperdros to live.
And Elución, which is a place of happiness, is also known as the Elysée Paradise. It is the aftermath of the death of heroes and good-wills, a place where they can not only be blessed with eternal happiness and, if they are lucky, chosen by the gods to serve as their servants.
As for the last Tartarus, it is the abyss of hell that Tartarus, the lord of the abyss of the primordial god, has transformed. The sinful people were directly punished by the Hades King, and the defeated gods were also thrown into it by the God King. It was the only one of the three places that was not under the control of Hades, and in addition, Zeus was worried that the gods in it would escape, so he specially sent three hundred-armed giants to guard it.
And one of the places is the destination of Buzhou's trip, that is, the gathering place of the soul - Asperdros.
At this time, by a raging black river, the ghostly light of Bu Zhou's fell on the bank, looking at the turbulent black river in front of him, Bu Zhou's eyes flashed with divine light, only to see that under his gaze, the surface of the river was full of undead spirits wailing in pain in the river, struggling to climb out of the river.
The black river in front of you is the Achillon River, the River of Pain. The river blocks the way of the soul, and legend has it that only Charon, a bearded boatman, can ferry the spirits to the other side. However, the undead must pay a fee to cross the river, or they will wander along the banks of the River of Pain or be drowned in the river and fall into endless misery.
"The River of Pain is somewhat similar to the Santu River!" Bu Zhou looked at the black river and whispered to himself.
As time passed, the spirits of the undead began to converge on the shore, and the Bu Zhou clan stood aside, quietly waiting for something.
As the undead gathered more and more on the shore, it was not long before an old man with a beard was seen rowing across the river with a small boat, and stopped on the shore.
The appearance of the old man and the boat made the undead around them excited, and they rushed to get on the boat, but Zhou found out that only by giving this old man a gift could he get on the boat, and those who didn't give him a gift could only wait on the shore for the next opportunity.
"Interesting!" Bu Zhou looked at the old man standing at the bow of the boat, his eyes flashed with fun, in his eyes, this small boat will carry all the pain of the river water in contact, and the core of the boat is this old man, that is to say, the old man-like god in front of him, every time he crosses the river, he has to endure endless pain.
Day after day, enduring thousands of years of endless suffering, what is the purpose, but Zhou seems to be able to see through his heart and sharpen himself with pain, just for the day when he can be strong in the future.
With a strong heart, this is a god who is always determined to follow the path. If he was born in the desolate world, this god may not be able to claim the position of the main god, and his path will not be as bumpy as it is now, and it can even be said that he has no future, and he will be reduced to a ferryman on the River Styx.
But here is Kaos, the ability of the gods is already predestined by nature, unless the god king bestows the throne, Charon's future can only be limited to this river of pain.
"The future is limited, maybe this is the sorrow of these gods!"
Bu Zhou looked at the ferryman god in front of him, his eyes flashed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he saw Bu Zhou Shi step forward, and the undead who were still scrambling to get on the boat on both sides seemed to be affected by some kind of force, and unconsciously forced them to both sides, allowing Bu Zhou to walk in front of Charon.
"Huh?"
The sudden change made Charon's movements pause, and he slowly raised his head, and entered a person dressed in white, Charon couldn't feel any breath of the person in front of him at all, and even if he didn't use his eyes to see, he wasn't sure if this person was here, it seemed that this person was integrated with the whole heaven and earth, which was not Zhou Shi stood aside for a long time, and Charon didn't notice it at all.
"Spirit, this is a powerful god!" was the first thought of Charon when he saw the Buzhou clan.
"Who are you?" Charon breathed a little faster, his eyes subconsciously staggered, and he seemed to be a little afraid to look directly at Bu Zhou's gaze, and asked with difficulty.
