The Otherworldly God

Chapter 234

They did not react to Mu Chenyin's words "See you later", nor did they understand what it meant until Li Zhao told them that Mu Chenyin, with her left-hand man, decided to launch a general attack on the Soul-Devouring Beast.

"Even if she is a living soul, she is still a soul. No one knows how many of them can come back."

"I thought she was too lazy to see us again."

Le Zheng Shuiling suddenly remembered that he had slapped her just before she was about to go to war, and he actually felt a little guilty.

"What exactly is the Soul Devourer?"

Facing Le Zheng Qiming's question, Li Zhao sighed and slowly explained: "Didn't you go down there? You should have seen the red spider lilies, right?"

"Ah..." Le Zheng Shui Ling immediately remembered the burning of Lycoris radiata. Xuan and Su took the blame for it and stayed in the underworld. Now they don't know what to do. "I've seen it. It's a very important flower, right?"

"Legend has it that between heaven and earth, in the beginning, there was no you or us. It was the original gods who created you and me. Just as the original gods are closely related and come from the same lineage, aren't we the same?

Outside, although there are distinctions of different races, once you come here, you are all ghosts. You were born here and returned here. You were once a human, but you could also be a demon or a monster. Manjushage will make the choice.

It is not that you can leave immediately after you come here. There are many souls that are stranded here and suffer. If more souls come and fewer souls leave, won’t there be fewer and fewer souls above, or even none? Therefore, Lycoris radiata will nourish new souls. Old souls will disappear, new souls will be born, and that is balance. "

"You didn't even explain what a soul-devouring beast is. What old souls and new souls mean, I don't understand."

"Don't worry, girl. You should all know this, right? The underworld was not originally here. The original underworld was not as comfortable as this place. It was said to be in some deep and bottomless cave.

At that time, the ghosts had to send souls into reincarnation themselves, and they dared not be negligent for even a moment, otherwise, order would be disrupted and everyone would be in trouble.

However, the number of ghost people is decreasing, the situation is getting more chaotic, and there are more souls, so they are simply unable to handle it. Not only the ghost clan, but all clans are facing the risk of extinction.

It was Princess Haitang who used the power of the original gods and the Jiuli artifacts to create a new underworld, which gave rise to the current Suhemati.

The ghost tribe can actively absorb new souls into the tribe, pick red spider lilies and send souls into reincarnation, or the ghost tribe can lead souls into the Forgotten River and the Yellow Spring and maintain order without any action from the ghost tribe. "

"You still haven't explained it clearly, have you?"

Qing Guozi couldn't stand her interruption and flew over to cover her mouth.

“We don’t know what kind of grievances or misunderstandings there are between the original gods, and we dare not speculate.

As the original god who gave birth to the ghost clan, his name is Li Su, and his favorite flower is Lycoris radiata. These are all closely related to us now. It is said that the original god Li Su also likes to transform into Lycoris radiata.

The grudges between the original gods created the Soul Devourer. What exactly is it? No one can tell, maybe it is a curse. In short, the Soul Devourer is an ancient mysterious creature that can devour souls.

They are like a kind of insect that can lay eggs on or near the red spider lily. When the larvae are born, they will attach themselves to the red spider lily. If there happens to be a soul in the red spider lily it attaches to, they will slowly devour the soul and then gain the power to leave.

They not only devoured the soul, but also made the Lycoris radiata sick and weak until death. So they needed the power of the soul so that they could leave the Lycoris radiata they were staying in and continue to obtain food and strength.

No matter how hard our people tried, and we picked out the Soul Devouring Beasts one by one, we were still unable to completely eliminate them. They became even more powerful, especially during the years when the Ghost Clan was weak. Coupled with the war, the number of souls increased, and they also became more powerful.

Princess Haitang did not hesitate to sacrifice herself, using the power of the original god and the Jiuli artifact to place the ghost clan here, and also separated all the soul-devouring beasts outside the barrier.

Souls entering the underworld have a long way to go, and we can only leave on full moon nights. Before that, souls cannot enter the underworld, and some will become food for soul-eating beasts.

The Soul-Eating Beast no longer needs to rely on Lycoris radiata, but can rely on the barrier and borrow the power of the original god to survive. After the eggs hatch, the adult Soul-Eating Beasts will feed them the souls they have captured, giving them the power to leave the barrier.

Therefore, we never approach the barriers easily, because they will lure the ghosts and make them food."

"So what I saw that time was the Soul Devourer?"

"Brother, have you seen the Soul Devouring Beast?"

Le Zheng Shui Ling looked at him in surprise, and Le Zheng Yu Hua shook his head again and explained: "It was just an illusion."

"You are quite lucky. Maybe it's because you are strong-minded. Almost no one can survive the Soul Devourer illusion the first time. The Left Envoy also went through a long and painful training to have a certain resistance ability, but many still died from the illusion. They also went to the Coffin Forest several times. Those dog tribes don't care who you are."

"Those guys? Now that I think about it, they're not that scary. Brother Yuhua, I don't want you to speak first this time. I'm the one who made the move. If she doesn't come back, I'll be to blame for the rest of my life."

When Li Zhao heard her words, he asked hurriedly and panicked: "What's wrong? What's the fight? Did something happen between you? When she came out, her face was not good. Should I stop her? Should I..."

Wei Liao knew that he liked Mu Chenyin, but this time she didn't stop him out of jealousy.

"Brother Li, calm down! The Left Envoy has gone, you can't panic, otherwise, who will watch over this Suhemati? Don't count on me, you know I can't do it."

Li Zhao looked up at the sky and clenched his fists tightly.

"Don't worry. Apart from anything else, we have a lot of experience in dealing with hallucinations. Just leave it to us. I just want to give it a try. What do you think, brother?"

It's not just to improve their skills, nor is it just to help Le Zheng Shui Ling make up for her mistakes. They have more or less realized in their hearts that the journey to the underworld is necessary, not just for the Chaos Starry Sky and the Dream Spring.

Deadpool, Le Zheng’s miserable condition, they need a way to deal with them.

"you?"

Wei Liao didn't believe in their strength even more, and was about to say that they would only be a hindrance if they went. But before he could say it, he saw them one straightening the sword behind his back, one adjusting the whip, and one putting on gloves. He had an illusion that they were indispensable.

"you……"

"It's right there, right? Outside the barrier."

They looked up at the barrier above, and there was no longer nothingness in their eyes. They knew that this was also proof that their cultivation had made a great step forward. Now, they needed an opponent who could shorten their training to become high-level Taoists.

"If you dare to attack Le Zheng, I will never let you off easily!"
