The underworld of ancient Babylon was a dead and mysterious world, hiding endless secrets and strangeness. The entrance to the underworld is a deep valley, extending downward along a deserted stone road, leading straight into the deep darkness. The surrounding mountains seem like ancient stone gates, guarding this secret and isolated world.
The center of the underworld is a vast expanse of yellow sand, like an endless desert. These grains of sand are not ordinary, they are made of lost life and lost time. Here, time and space are intertwined to create a weird dimension.
In the center of the desert, there is a huge pyramid, which is the residence of Hades, the king of hell in Babylonian mythology. Its base is wide and huge, as if it is the cornerstone of the entire underworld. The tower extends upward into the dark sky, looking solemn and mysterious. Inside the pyramid is the residence of Pluto - a space full of mystery, antiquity and the unknown.
Life in the underworld revolves around Hades. His power covers the entire underworld, and he can decide which souls will enter heaven and which will be imprisoned in the underworld forever. His presence fills the entire underworld with awe and respect.
This stone staircase leads deeper underground, and every step looks cold and eerie. The surrounding air is filled with the smell of dampness, antiquity and death, which makes people shudder.
At the end of the stone staircase is the center of the underworld - the city of the dead. The city is made up of countless stone houses and towers, with strange shapes, as if they are works of art shaped by some unknown force. The streets of the city are filled with all kinds of dead people. Some of them turned into stone statues, some turned into dust, and some are even still wandering.
In addition to Hades and the souls that have passed away, there are many strange creatures in the underworld. There are huge stone statues called "guardians of the underworld" that solemnly guard the door to heaven. There are various mysterious magical creatures that wander the underworld and point the way for lost souls.
In the ancient Babylonian concept, the underworld was a mysterious and solemn place. It is the end of life, but it is also the beginning of new life. Here, the departed souls will be judged, and new life will be born in the gestation of the underworld. Although the underworld is full of endless darkness and mystery, it is this unknown and mystery that makes people full of awe and curiosity about it.
The entrance to the underworld is a huge gap, eerie and terrifying. On both sides of this fissure, huge stone gates are carved with various mysterious symbols and patterns, and every detail is full of historical precipitation and endless sorrow. They open silently, showing the mysterious face of the underworld to the outside world.
To enter the underworld, you must first pass through a wide and dark passage. The walls of the passage are inlaid with countless stone sculptures of various shapes. They shine in the faint blue phosphorescence, adding a strange atmosphere to this cold and silent place. At the end of the passage is a huge underground lake. The lake is dark green and deep, as calm as a mirror, absorbing everything around it.
In the center of the lake, there is a huge stone monument, which symbolizes the judgment of the dead. Behind the stone monument is a tunnel leading deeper. The tunnel is full of unknown fear, but it is also the only way to the unknown world.
Deep in the tunnel, the true face of the underworld is revealed. There are countless stone chambers here, each containing the sarcophagus of a deceased person. The walls around the stone chamber depict the stories of the deceased and their daily lives in the underworld. Although the colors of these murals have faded, you can still feel the traces of the emotions and lives of the ancients.
In the deepest stone chamber lives Nefertari, the ruler of the underworld. She is a queen with mysterious powers who controls the order of the underworld and the fate of the dead. Her residence is full of luxury and mystery, and the gems on the walls shine with cold light, decorating this silent world with brilliance.
Entering the underworld, the first thing you see is a barren land, covered with dead bones and grass. The Styx River meanders through it. The water is as black as ink, with a few bubbles occasionally appearing, as if announcing the silence and death here.
The buildings in the underworld are low and gloomy, as if they have been forgotten by time and have been neglected for a long time. These buildings made of black stone are covered with dead vines and moss, exuding a disgusting smell of decay. The guardians of several stone sculptures had expressionless faces and empty eyes, as if their souls had been swallowed by the endless darkness.
In the sky of this world, there are no sun, moon, or stars, just eternal darkness. The wind howled in the darkness, taking away all the sounds and warmth, leaving only deep coldness and loneliness.
In a dark corner, a lonely figure is waiting silently. His eyes were full of anticipation and uneasiness, as if he was waiting for some important news.
Finally, a messenger appeared, holding a thick book in his hand, which recorded everyone's wishes and prices. The messenger walked up to this figure, handed him the book in his hand, and told him that he could make a wish.
This figure was so excited that it was beyond words. He opened the title page of the book with trembling hands. It read: If you want to get something, you must pay a price equal to its life.
A man in a white robe stood in front of the altar. In front of him was a huge crystal ball, which reflected the entire Hades. He held a burning candle in his hand, and the candlelight flickered, illuminating his deep and empty eyes.
At this time, a short, pale woman came over, holding a box in her hand filled with golden gold coins. The woman walked to the man in white, placed the box on the altar, then knelt on the ground, clasped her hands, and prayed devoutly.
"What do you want?" the man in white asked.
"I am willing to trade my life for wealth and status." the woman replied.
"So, what do you give in exchange?"
"I can trade my soul for it."
"Okay, I accept your request." The man in white picked up the candle and lit the woman's soul.
The figure took a deep breath and nodded firmly. He did not hesitate to give his soul to the messenger in exchange for a wish: hope that he could be resurrected.
As a result, this figure became a member of Hades. He worked hard every day, hoping to exchange his life for the chance of resurrection. However, as time passed, he found that his body had gradually decayed, and the chance of resurrection became slimmer and slimmer.
Finally, the figure closed his eyes in despair, knowing that he could no longer be resurrected. But before he closed his eyes, he suddenly remembered the wish he had made: hoping that he could be resurrected.
So, the figure smiled. Although he could no longer be resurrected, he believed that his soul would exist in Hades forever.
