Chen Ji and Mu Xiaoxiao entered the ghost realm.

This place is located at the lowest level of the Nine Realms. It is the seat of the traditional concept of reincarnation and is equivalent to the underworld.

But the ghost realm is different from the underworld.

There is no underworld judge here, there is no bull-headed horse-face, and there is no Yama King to command and guard the underworld - neither does Ksitigarbha.

Instead, there are some ghosts who can practice.

The ghost tribe is a race, but after the creatures in the nine realms die, they turn into ghosts and come to the ghost realm. If their spiritual consciousness can stay awake, they can practice again and become members of the ghost tribe.

Therefore, unlike the cold and empty space imagined by Chen Ji, most areas of the Ghost Domain are filled with towns and cities. Their souls float like humans. Eating is similar to absorbing Yin energy. If they carry some treasures, they can become more human-like.

"There is also the concept of reincarnation on earth."

Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly said, turning to him: "And what we say here is almost similar to that on Earth."

"Then what?" Chen Ji smiled.

"Don't you think it's a coincidence?" Mu Xiaoxiao said dissatisfied.

"...What a coincidence!"

Chen Ji originally didn't want to go into details, but now that Mu Xiaoxiao mentioned it, he thought about this issue again.

After a while, he answered her: "If coincidence is ruled out, then the culture of the Xia Kingdom on Earth is similar to that of your Nine Regions, and it should have been caused by some kind of influence."

"..."

Mu Xiaoxiao said faintly: "It's all in vain. What if it's a coincidence?"

Chen Ji laughed dumbly, "It's a coincidence that you happen to speak the same language as me, so Time and Space Blind Date happened to search your world, allowing me to contact you. It's like the world of martial arts, where the probability is one in a billion.

I bumped into you!"

Mu Xiaoxiao subconsciously retorted: "I don't want to be so destined to you..."

She closed her mouth and said with a little hesitation: "It's quite a coincidence... If there is some kind of influence that spans the world, what do you think it is?"

She now understands more and more how difficult it is to straddle two worlds.

In the Nine Realms for hundreds of millions of years, there have been countless strong men and geniuses as numerous as sand, but no one can cross the void and detect a world different from the Nine Realms.

No matter how strong a person is, no matter how talented a genius is, they cannot escape from the Nine Realms.

Except Chen Ji.

No wonder that when the first electron from the earth reaches the Nine Realms, the Nine Realms are so excited that they emit billions of light to celebrate, as if the Nine Realms are reborn!

"Who knows."

Chen Ji spread his hands, "Maybe it's me in the future, or maybe it's a four-dimensional life form, a powerful being that transcends the universe, an ancient god, etc."

Mu Xiaoxiao was silent for a while, and then said longingly: "I really want to see such a being."

Chen Ji took out his mobile phone and showed it to her.

Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly understood and went crazy: "I'm not talking about that idiot Ma Yien of yours! Forget it, let's go quickly and find out that Lin Zhiyang! I don't want to waste any energy on this nonsense!"

Lin Zhiyang can rest in peace if he can make the majestic empress remember her name.

Chen Ji walked with her deeper into the ghost realm.

The so-called depth is a place close to the long river of time.

The division of the nine realms was not achieved overnight. The ghost realm can be said to have been created artificially. The Samsara Goddess that Chen Ji met once played a role in the creation of the ghost realm.

The deeper he went into the ghost realm, the stronger the Yin Qi became, and soon even the ghost clan could no longer bear it. Chen Ji could not see anyone here, only some lonely souls floating forward.

"Not everyone can reincarnate."

Mu Xiaoxiao simply explained to him: "Only ghosts with firm perseverance and tenacious souls can drift through the long river of time and enter reincarnation. Most souls will have their memories erased by the power of reincarnation. Only a handful of powerful beings can retain their memory."

A little inspiration.

But while the spiritual light exists, it will also be corroded by the law of life."

Chen Ji nodded slightly. He also felt that the judge of Hell in myths and legends was unreliable. A person's crime cannot be simply judged. In the old era, it was a crime, but in the new era, it is not. It is difficult for the judging system to keep up with the development of the times, leading to wrongful convictions.

The two of them continued walking deeper.

In front of the vast white river of time, a large number of souls are floating around, unable to survive.

This is a river that buries hundreds of millions of creatures in the nine regions.

Chen Ji looked up and saw no one, so he told Mu Xiao a story about Po Meng.

"I have read this legend."

Mu Xiaoxiao said: "If there is Po Meng in the Nine Realms, she should be a practitioner who can gain transcendence by gaining insights from the joys and sorrows of a ghost's life."

Chen Ji laughed dumbly again and continued to move forward without commenting.

The two spent the vast white river together, and Chen Ji could not feel anything strange. He could leave whenever he wanted, stepping easily into the long river of time, his body unfettered.

On the contrary, the dignified empress walks a little harder, and occasionally loses consciousness due to some illusions.

Chen Ji saw that a small mountain village appeared in the long river of time, and a woman appeared in the illusion. She waved to Mu Xiaoxiao gently and made her stay there for a long time before crushing the illusion.

"Is she your mother?" Chen Ji asked.

Unfortunately, the empress who had been sleeping for a hundred thousand years did not answer him and walked forward in silence.

“I’ll visit your hometown when I have time.”

Chen Ji said again.

Mu Xiaoxiao turned around, glanced at him, and seemed to nod, but he couldn't see clearly in the vast whiteness of the years.

The two of them set foot on the other side together.

An illusory middle-aged man appeared, bowed to Chen Ji, said nothing, stared at Chen Ji, and then slowly disappeared.

It was Lord Samsara, Chen Ji had met him once.

Wait, the person who came to tip off the news before was probably sent by him, right?

Otherwise, very few people would be able to cross the long river of time and reach the other side!

"Leave him alone."

Mu Xiaoxiao was not surprised at all and walked forward step by step: "There are records that after Emperor Netherworld was killed, his body was buried on the other side. Let's take a look."

She walked very slowly, one step at a time.

Chen Ji walked a few steps before he remembered something: "I forgot to get a stick of incense for the Netherworld Emperor."

Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him, "I'm afraid there are only a few incense that can be lit on the other side in all the nine regions. Just lighting it can cause unpredictable consequences, including the same for us here."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh.

Chen Ji looked at her difficulty in walking and laughed. He himself didn't feel anything special about the other side at all. It seemed that he was indeed an existence beyond the Nine Realms.

Mu Xiaoxiao got here purely through strength.

"The other shore is indeed a black land."

Chen Ji nodded and quickened his pace to move forward.

Although he didn't feel it, this ghost place was cold and dead, and it wasn't for humans at all.

"it's common."

After listening to his complaints, Mu Xiaoxiao was quite proud: "It's not easy to reach the river of time, it's even rarer to be able to cross it, and it's even rarer to be able to walk freely on the other side without being suppressed by the laws here.

Domain, all——”

Her voice showing off her strength suddenly stopped, and she opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked forward.

Chen Ji knew why she was surprised:

A large number of corpses appeared in front of them, lying in various directions at the foot of a slope. There were various types of corpses, including human beings, demons, some wearing armors, some wearing bamboo hats, some half-men and half-horses, and some tall giants.

On the top of the slope, in front of an open tomb, the tombstone was broken.

The corpses surrounded the tomb, looking extremely strange and terrifying in the darkness and silence on the other side.

"It's all contaminated."

Chen Ji said in a low voice.

There is no doubt that some of these corpses came from the Divine Grace Continent. Their bodies were deformed and entangled with many black flower branches. Just like in the small dark space, these black flower branches were sleeping and sleeping inside the corpses.

"The place where the nine realms were broken turns out to be here!"

Mu Xiaoxiao calmed down and said: "But think about it, it is natural that the Nine Realms instinctively reject these evil gods. It locks the black flowers on the other side and places them in a small dark space so that they cannot invade the Nine Realms. Otherwise,

I don’t know what the Nine Realms have become now!”

As she spoke, she took out her Tianming mobile phone and flicked at the screen.

Ding.
