The so-called heaven.
The so-called underworld.
Generally speaking, they are metaphysical existences, which are different from the real dimension and a mystery in another dimensional realm. Therefore, there is no heaven in the atmosphere, and there will be no hell dug deep in the earth. The world after death and the world in the sky are not far from reality. Not just near or far in the physical sense.
However, this is the Age of Gods now...
The underworld and the present world are connected by the soil. This afterlife does indeed exist under the ground of Mesopotamia. It is an underground space that is unimaginable from a geological perspective.
Even according to the simple and crude method of the goddess Ishtar, to go to the underworld is to blast through the ground in one breath and jump directly.
All kinds of relevant information flashed through his thoughts. Gu Mo was like a ghost wandering in the dark night of the underworld. As an uninvited guest, he was taking advantage of the cover of darkness to wander around other people's homes and look around. Look here, touch there.
The air in the afterlife was cold and cold. Even when he was standing here, he couldn't help but feel an obvious sense of coldness.
Once you are infected and soaked by the yin energy of the underworld, it is probably equivalent to accepting death.
The space is dark and dim, but there are also dots of soft light dotted with it, spreading boundlessly forward. In the coldness filled with Yin Qi, ghost-like spirits float past in the distance from time to time... But according to Meso According to Potamian mythology, should these be said to be Garula spirits?
The so-called messengers of the underworld generally have the same status as ghost soldiers in the underworld.
Gu Mo was thoughtful, but now that he had his own aura blocking skills and could blend into the darkness perfectly, there was no chance that he would be discovered by these patrolling messengers from the underworld. As long as he didn't make too much noise...
After estimating the time, he stepped forward. Although he appeared here mainly to further master and master the power of the Night Walker, he also wanted to familiarize himself with the environment of the underworld in advance. Naturally, he could not simply come and see it. As soon as he saw it, he immediately turned around and went back.
Speaking of which, this is the afterlife...
I used to be just an ordinary person every day, and I probably never thought that one day I would be able to step into the land of this kind of concept.
Walking step by step on the dark and cold underworld, Gu Mo felt a strange feeling in his heart.
The underworld is still a threat to him, and the Yin energy will also infect his body, but there is no way to directly take his life like killing ordinary people. He can sustain it long enough, and during this period Walk freely on the land of the underworld during time.
There are Garula spirits flying around in this dark space from time to time, but even if they pass by each other at a very close distance, they cannot detect the guests walking in the darkness.
The night is your best ally.
Those little soft lights are the light source of this underground space. After getting closer, you can see the whole picture clearly. Gu Mo stood in front of a light source and looked up at this huge and slender birdcage-like thing. They They are placed in various places on the ground of the underworld, seemingly everywhere.
——There are countless light spots in the cage.
——Those are souls.
This is Ereshkigal's Gun Prison. In myths and legends, this goddess will use the Gun Prison to imprison people's souls and torture them for fun, even if the imprisoned souls will be frozen into ice due to the yin energy of the underworld. The pain is so painful that I would rather disappear forever than get relief.
However, according to Gu Mo's careful observation at this moment, these gun prisons actually seem to be "comfortable residences" in a sense, and are protective shields for the soul.
Because even though those light spots are pure souls, he can still perceive their most basic emotions through mental induction. If he is really in pain because of being tortured, then the wavelength emitted by the soul's instinct is absolutely impossible. Liar...
However, at this moment, these souls are very peaceful and peaceful, as if they are asleep.
It happened to be in line with the information he knew. After observing and checking several allocated housing that were said to be gun prisons or rather the underworld, Gu Mo nodded lightly and continued to move forward.
During this period, Cong Yunya on his waist seemed to be a little active and ready to move.
This demon sword that symbolizes the underworld of the earth is extremely evil. Now that it has entered this space with a home advantage, it naturally becomes more energetic. However, the sheath made from the sacred tree, the spirit of the scabbard, and the multiple seals and barriers set up before and after were all suppressing the somewhat restless ancient evil spirits.
Cong Yunya couldn't do much before he took it out of its sheath.
Gu Mo didn't have a good way to deal with this. Ever since he lost the possession blessing of the power of the nine tails, Cong Yunya seemed to have noticed something and began to become uneasy.
It was probably that the ancient evil spirit began to doubt the authenticity of his new master, and even doubted the authenticity of the super demonic power he had shown before... Therefore, this magic sword is now somewhat eager to try, and is no longer as strong as before. of tameness.
…………
It didn't take long.
Wandering on the land of the underworld, looking at the various gun cells one by one, Gu Mo gradually discovered that the gun cells in front of him began to become empty. They were no longer like the ones he had seen before. There were countless souls in each gun cell. light spot.
And in the darkness at the far end, a narrow cliff path vaguely appeared.
The steep cliff path is like being cut with a knife and an axe, with bottomless dark abyss on both sides, and there are seven stone gates on the winding path of the cliff path...
He stopped and looked at it. So, above here is the surface location of the city of Kusa, right? Although Ereshkigal is the mistress of the underworld, she is also the patron saint of the city Kusa, so the center of the underworld is her palace, located underground in the city Kusa.
Taking a deep look into the distance, Gu Mo thought seriously.
But at this moment, a panicked voice sounded from the front:
"Eh? Why are you...ahem! No! Living people who have entered the underworld, I ask you why you are here?"
There was still a bit of panic at the front, but the back seemed to react immediately, and the voice suddenly changed, and the tone became steady and dignified, as if it was unpredictable.
--Huh?
——Why are you back so soon? !
Gu Mo was slightly stunned. He took advantage of the goddess to sneak into his sister's account and ran to the ground out of curiosity, so he took advantage of this gap and wandered to the underworld underground, but he didn't expect it. The other party came back so quickly.
Although he is indeed an angel of the underworld, he also has the highest authority in this system, and he devotes himself to his duty as the master of the underworld...
This is also the reason why he didn't think much about going to the underworld at first, because the risks do exist. Although the goddess is very kind, she is also very serious. If she is determined to abide by the rules of the underworld, she will not be able to do it. Gu Mo wants to directly fail the mission and exit the instance.
He only caught a glimpse of Tiamat in his dream. The Mother Goddess of Creation gave him an unimaginable sense of oppression and powerlessness even in her deep sleep...
Knowing that he could not avoid going to the underworld, he took advantage of the opportunity of Ereshkigal to go out and arranged some insurance measures before entering the large hole in the ground in order to get there first. Feel it out...
But right now, it looks like he was caught by the owner who returned home, which is a bit embarrassing.
So--
Do you want to wake up directly?
His thoughts were whirling, and Gu Mo finally made up his mind. It would be better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Anyway, he has to convince the goddess... Although objectively speaking, she is indeed very dangerous in the underworld, but because of certain The reason - the advantage is mine!
"Since I came to the underworld, I naturally came to see Lord Ereshkigal."
With this thought in mind, he made up his mind and with a serious expression on his face, he just stood there and stared at the seven-layered door in front of him and said loudly. It was completely impossible to tell that he had actually decided to quit just now. Instead, he seemed to have made a special trip to visit the mistress of the underworld.
"Meet, see me? You...how did you know about my existence?"
The voice seemed a little gloomy, but the surprise in it could still be vaguely heard. After all, Ereshkigal believed that his existence was very secret, and he had just talked to this person a few days ago, although he was borrowing his own The body and name of the stupid sister.
But I hid it very well, no one noticed it.
Why did this person come directly to the underworld after only a few days?
"Well, how do you need to know this kind of thing?" The man opposite seemed to tilt his head in confusion. He stretched out a finger to scratch his cheek, and a strange smile appeared on his face, " Isn’t this an obvious thing?”
Something so obvious... Could it be that he noticed the existence of the underworld and then discovered his own existence?
Well! That’s right! That must be the case! It’s definitely not because I was exposed!
The goddess suddenly panicked, but she still forced herself to calm down, preparing to show a cold attitude and scare this guy. This is the underworld, and the living must be killed. This guy entered here rashly...does he want to become her private property?
But at this moment, the other person continued to speak slowly: "After all, we just talked once a few days ago, didn't we, Lord Ereshkigal?"
A natural hit!
"Wha...wha...wha...woo!"
The voice was tongue-tied, hesitating and stammering, as if her whole body was shocked, and her mind went blank. It took her a long while to finally react, and she denied it with an extremely fierce attitude -
"Huh...what are you talking about! We just talked about it a few days ago. I, I, I, I, I, have never seen you before!"
The goddess was so panicked that she didn't even care to maintain that way of speaking, but she still held a trace of luck deep in her heart.
She obviously secretly signed up to the stupid sister's account, and she did it with Ishtar's body!
"It's impossible. We were in the valley of Mount Abif at that time, and everyone saw it..." Gu Mo put his hand on his chin and frowned in confusion, "While discussing the issue of the Three Goddess Alliance, you suddenly Replace the consciousness of the goddess Ishtar and come and talk to us——"
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
A sudden shout interrupted his words, and the owner of the voice no longer pretended to be mysterious, but was directly forced out by this terrible social death attack.
A blond girl appeared in the darkness ahead, staring at him with a red face, her eyes seemed to be filled with tears, and her hands were still waving randomly in front of her.
It seemed that she wanted to resist his words and prevent him from continuing to speak by yelling and waving his hands.
She was going to die of shame and anger!
