Chapter 416 Realm of the Dead, Li Qi's Great Adventure of Death
More than half a month was only told by the Lord of Death to Li Qi, and he himself felt that the time was not that long.

The environment has not changed. He walks mechanically without getting tired. He hardly feels the passage of time.

But the more important reason is that Alishan has been with him.

Only now did he understand Alishan's words, "I will be with you for a long time, but you can't be with me anymore."

The warm and soft barrier that wraps his soul tells Alishan's past all the time.

From her memories to every detail before her death, the scenes of her life flowed slowly in Li Qi's heart.

When he paid attention to a certain detail, the corresponding memory gushed out like a stream, bringing all kinds of ups and downs, which was Alishan's feeling.

It was only then that Li Qi understood what the Lord of Death meant by "her soul has dissipated".

In Finn's world, memory and emotion are only the outside of human beings. In the human soul, the only thing that marks the difference from others is the soul source that produces memory and emotion.

Now, he can taste Alishan's memories and emotions as he tastes his own memories. He is equivalent to replacing Alishan's soul source, and the real Alishan no longer exists.

This made him feel extremely heavy when he recalled Alishan's life consciously or unconsciously.

Tasting everyone's life is heavy, no matter how ordinary people are, when every bit of memory spreads out, that little bit of star-like light will always resonate, and those patches of abyss-like darkness It will always be frightening.

What's more, Alishan is a very cheerful girl who loves to laugh...

She doesn't believe in the Lord of the Dead, she just regards it as her innate mission, and this sense of mission is not strong.

In terms that Li Qi could understand, she actually regarded her status as a saint of death as a job, a job where she could not fire her boss as long as she was alive.

When she took off her black robe and wandered into the town outside the cemetery, she was a different person.The black robe was replaced by a white dress, her brown hair was tied with bright ribbons, her lips were smeared with red, and her cheeks became flushed from running. At that time, Alishan was no longer ordinary, but very beautiful.

She often looks forward to her Prince Charming. If the Lord of the Dead has no special needs, it is also her duty to reproduce the next generation of saintesses at the right age.

For this reason, she picks and chooses inside the church. Because she is not satisfied, she often looks at the relatives and friends of the deceased with strange eyes in the cemetery to see if there is someone worthy of her as a single mother.This was acquiesced by the Church of the Dead, and of course her father was very entangled in this.

When she grew into a girl, she rubbed her young body in the bath, and also had a hot impulse.As long as it can make her move a little bit, she wants to take action.Not just desire, but to escape from one's own destiny.

She almost succeeded once when she drugged a young bard who came to town.At the moment when she was about to sit on it, thinking about how she would face her daughter if she really gave birth to a daughter, she had no choice but to run away.

The moment the Lord of Death gave Alishan the oracle, she felt relieved.

She is not afraid of death, if it is interesting and worthwhile, she is even happy for it.

Although her life was depressing, it was not painful.Fate is not a breathless oppression, and it is extremely indifferent to death.She is used to seeing death in the cemetery and the necropolis, which is the inevitable and necessary way back for mortals.

But there were dots of light in Alishan's heart, and in the depths of each dot lay a cry.

For half a month, while walking on the banks of the River Styx, Li Qi knew Alishan far better than he knew himself. He tasted every bit of light, and he heard that cry.

"Change, I want to change..."

This is the deepest and most sincere resistance to fate.

Apart from walking mechanically, Li Qi had nothing else to do, and savoring Alishan's memory became his only "pastime".

In the beginning, he shed tears from time to time, lamenting that his confidante's fate was unlucky, and he hated the god's heart.Eager to complete the task as soon as possible, and promote the revolution with even higher enthusiasm after returning home, so that Finn can change the world.

Gradually, he became a little numb again, feeling that he had become Alishan, and that his revolution in Fern was also an unavoidable fate.

Revolution or something is just an apple in the box of fate. It looks beautiful and smells sweet, and it tastes better than apples like Zhenghege and Hougong.It just makes the contribution of one's life and soul more glamorous and interesting.

Later, Li Qi felt that everything was boring, like a job.He also began to yearn for change, and it didn't matter how he changed, he just hoped that this job would end as soon as possible.

If there was no "telegram" from Little Red Riding Hood, perhaps Li Qi would really be infiltrated by Alishan's memory, or perhaps by the artifact of the Pilgrimage to the Underworld.

His soul is not strong, without the protection of Little Red Riding Hood, as well as the life perception and philosophical wisdom of the earth world, he would not be able to get to the present step.

"I still don't accept that you are a petty citizen. Look at your mental outlook now? How is it different from the social animals of 996!?"

With the previous experience of contacting Li Qi in the Storm Islands, Little Red Riding Hood learned to use the extremely limited "bandwidth" to check Li Qi's soul condition and send necessary information.Although the delay is serious and the information that can be transmitted is extremely limited, the two can maintain a trace of contact after all.

Li Qi responded: "I really want to live the life of 996 again. It is much easier than the current 247, and I still get a salary."

Little Red Riding Hood threw a string of numbers with an unknown number of nines: "Salary? You still owe me my soul loan and life loan! Don't talk about this life, there is really a next life, and you have to do it for me in the future nine nine 81 lives Repay the loan alive!"

"I remember, the Goddess of Revolution used to work on campus fruit loans," Li Qi condensed his anger into a reply.

Little Red Riding Hood was furious: "Are you itchy and still dare to post that picture of Sisi! Li Qi is dead for you! When you come back, I will let you know why the flowers are so red!"

It takes more than half an hour to receive each "telegram". It is this kind of connection that makes Li Qi gradually break free from Alishan's memory.

Once again, he felt that Alishan's sacrifice could not be wasted.He is eager to complete the task, go back to reunite with the witches and Little Red Riding Hood, and fight for the revolution together.This kind of thinking seems to be the same as before, but it seems to have been tempered, and it is more solid and tenacious.

A few days ago, Little Red Riding Hood sent good news: "I have found a way to send you power in a short period of time so that you can use God's grace."

This is good news. Li Qi asked what to do expectantly. Little Red Riding Hood said: "Respect me sincerely, respect me, worship me, and regard me as a god who dominates everything."

Li Qi wanted to send a middle finger back at that time...

Little Red Riding Hood continued: "I know you want to give the middle finger, which is also against my purpose of maintaining a mortal heart. But to let my divine power penetrate into the realm of the dead, I can only follow Finn's law, which is the only way. "

Li Qi was very helpless: "I am a patriarchalist revolutionary, how could I do this? Why can't you just follow the example of Goddess Shunzi and just say, 'Anyway, I don't need money and trust a little bit'?"

Little Red Riding Hood said, "You didn't come to Finn to collect corpses, and I don't have any bombs for you..."

"The psychological barrier is too great, even if I have to pretend, I can't pretend it." Li Qi had a hard time: "If you try to overcome it, pretend to love you wholeheartedly, be willing to dedicate everything for you, and be willing to be a lackey under your skirt, maybe can do it."

Three minutes later, Li Qi threw himself on the ground, his body twitching, and a slender middle finger whirled in his mind.

He smiled helplessly: "It seems that scolding you is more effective."

This is just talking, to use the power of Little Red Riding Hood in the realm of the dead, you can only follow the existing rules of Finn.

Li Qi is unwilling to do this, he is a voter, and he treats Little Red Riding Hood as a god, which is a heavy blow to Little Red Riding Hood's mortal heart.He also knew that Little Red Riding Hood was even more unwilling to do this, but when it came to a critical juncture, for safety's sake, he had to make this move.

While the Lord of Death is correcting the map, the battle of the undead ahead is getting more and more intense.

Li Qi was very worried, maybe he was about to resort to bad tactics.

The realm of the dead is in a state of chaos, the power of the Pale Lord has been greatly reduced, and the undead monarchs under his command have started to fight for the territory.

The territory in the realm of the dead is not the same as the concept of the main plane, it just refers to the tributaries of the River Styx.

The Styx River is not actually a river, so how did the tributaries come from?
To clarify this concept, we have to start with the essence of the realm of the dead, and Li Qi also got a general idea from the Lord of the Dead.

It is said that at the beginning of the world, the River Styx did not flow through the main plane, and the mortals at the beginning either lived forever or fell directly into purgatory.

As the ancient god who presides over the cycle of life, Lady Sue Death believes that the soul of a mortal should not be eternal.He split the plane that divides the main plane and purgatory with the sickle of death, and diverted the River Styx to this plane.He also announced death to the mortal world, and let the souls of mortals enter the Styx to dissolve.

This plane called Ming'an was originally nothingness.The underworld river flows in, dissolving the soul, and at the same time, the undigestible residue accumulates into the underworld, which gradually expands into a vast land.

The era changes, the world is in turmoil, and the Styx river rolls up tides again and again.The current Fourth Era is nothing but the division of mortals after the Dark Ages.In the age of the elves' rule, and even earlier, similar tides did not know how many times.

Every time the tide washes away the Netherland, the undigested soul source quality mixes with the Netherland, bringing abundant nutrients to this land, which are the endless low-level undead.

In this world cycle, the historical changes of the main plane are also mixed.

Where the domain of the dead is weakly connected to the main plane, or where a strong breath of death is actively created on the main plane, and thus close to the domain of the dead, a nest of undead will be formed.In severe cases, there will be plane gaps, and in further cases, some areas of the main plane will subside. This part of the area will be pulled by the powerful force of death and sink into the realm of the dead, forming a new Netherland.

For example, at the end of the third era, the war that took place on the Shenyun Plateau added a huge territory to the Netherland.With endless resentment, the Giant King led his subordinates and subjects, as well as the younger half of Slanhorn's king, to the shore of the underworld, becoming the undead monarch who ruled over one side of the underworld.

Not only the Giant King, it is said that the dead of that war, including the Queen of the Dark Elf Empire and many powerful beings, refused to enter the Styx River, and still ruled over the Styx Bank.

The tidal erosion of the Styx River and the subsidence of hundreds of millions of years have made the banks of the Styx fragmented, and the flow of the Styx River has also been affected, and several tributaries have been separated.The flow rate of the tributaries slowed down, and the power of digestion was no longer so strong. The contained soul source nourished the kingdom of the undead and became a precious resource for the undead monarch.

The turf battle in the Realm of the Dead revolves around the tributaries of the River Styx.

Different from the tributaries of the rivers on the main plane, the tributaries of the River Styx are three-dimensional, and most of the time they are drawn from the zenith, penetrate the ground, shuttle like giant snakes, and form crater-like exits on the Netherland.The exit closest to the trunk is naturally the area with the richest source of soul, and it has become a mine for the undead monarchs to compete for.

Li Qi had already encountered two tributary battles, and the situation was extremely dangerous.

Pilgrimage to the shore of the underworld can indeed protect his soul and make the undead be regarded as the same kind, but this "kind" is also limited.

Just like when Li Qi ran back to Sichuan, where the warlords fought among warlords in the Republic of China, even though they spoke Sichuan dialect on the battlefield, the soldiers on both sides were filtered through the categories of "human", "men", "Chinese" and "Sichuanese". It will also be stopped by the last layer of screening such as "Liu Mangzi" (Liu Xiang) or "Taoist of Many Treasures" (Liu Wenhui).

He doesn't belong to any party, and he doesn't have the unique aura of a certain undead monarch.Those low-level undead have weak soul fires with limited minds, and can only execute "non-similar to immediate combat" orders, and cannot precisely specify a certain type of enemy, so he becomes an enemy who must fight on both sides.

Li Qi can use the ability to sue the dead to hide and sneak, but this is the domain of the dead, and the power to sue the dead is related to death, so it cannot escape the perception of high-level undead.

Li Qi was very dissatisfied with this. The Styx tour given by the Lord of Death did not even have the basic ability to fool around.

"This is the artifact of Hierro, the god of death. It can indeed exude the breath of Hierro, which is enough to deter ordinary undead." The Lord of Death said, "I don't need to tell you what will happen if you activate it before reaching the throne of the god of death. "

Of course, it is regarded as the biggest threat by the undead monarch, and he should be killed immediately.

Li Qi could only patiently look for opportunities and pass through the gaps in the battlefield.Fortunately, the "hostile vision" of the undead is limited, and they will not chase after them. If they leave a certain distance, they will "get out of battle", which makes some of the experience Li Qi accumulated in "The World of Beasts" come in handy.

Soon Li Qi approached the battlefield. The so-called practice makes perfect. With the previous two experiences, he deftly bypassed the large group of undead this time, and even passed through the open area formed by two groups of skeleton archers.

Unexpectedly, a large number of skeleton warriors were rushing up from behind the skeleton archers, and Li Qi, who was caught in the middle, immediately triggered the hostility between the two sides.

Li Qi didn't panic, he held his chest high and ran away.

After running a few hundred meters, these skeleton warriors will return to their original positions and continue to perform the tasks engraved in their soul fires.

Running, Li Qi was horrified to find that his body was getting heavier and heavier, as if he was dragging a lot of shot puts behind him.

He was about to call the Lord of Death, but the other party spoke first: "The map can no longer be revised. It has changed too much in the past 1000 years. I have adjusted your pilgrimage to the underworld so that it can indicate the position of the seat of God. Of course, you can only go straight there, and if you encounter any obstacles and dangers, just ask for blessings."

Li Qi was dumbfounded, and the bridge was being demolished at this moment. Are you deceiving someone on purpose?Solve the immediate crisis first!

There was no apology in the Lord of Death's tone: "I'm sorry, I can only extend my divine power here with the help of the tour of the underworld, and there is no way to do more."

When I go back, I must let Aurora designate you as the enemy of God!

The lord of the dead said again: "But I have made some arrangements. A lord of the dead should come to meet you."

Undead Lord?It doesn't want to be a god of death, but instead helps people who want to be a god of death?Is the name Dizang?
The Lord of Death said: "She and your goal are the same. Of course, there may be different ideas on how to achieve the goal. I just provided such a choice. It is up to you to decide whether to accept her help."

Don't talk about it yet, okay?Kill the skeleton warrior chasing me!

Li Qi ran at a speed of five meters per second and was still slowing down, screaming in his heart.

His power is severely suppressed here, and once he uses his power to sue the god of death, he may attract even more powerful guys. It's not absolutely necessary, and he doesn't want to make a move.

The Lord of Death completely ignored his yelling, and said indifferently: "I wish you a pleasant journey and a smooth journey. In addition, pay attention to your back."

Follow the wind of your size, carry the back of your size!You just tricked me on purpose!
Li Qi felt that he couldn't run anymore, he gritted his teeth and took out the magic steel sword from the space ring, stopped and turned around.

Turning around, his scalp was numb and he almost cried out.

A huge group of skeleton warriors, probably thousands, brandishing swords and spears, rushed towards him with their jaws shaking.

In their perception, they are a mass of plump soul source quality.

Li Qi swallowed his saliva, and thought to himself, let's see the limit of his sword skills here.

Just as they were about to fight against a thousand, the skeleton group was in a mess behind them, as if they fought by themselves first.

In the chaotic mist, occasionally a very faint light green spot passed by, which gave Li Qi a strange feeling.

He finally remembered what the Lord of Death had said to him twice, pay attention to the back...
