The man suddenly pounced towards him, and the hand on his waist tightly held him in the man's arms. He rolled several times and stood there in a daze, his eyes meeting the scorching heat head-on.

"呲-"

It was the sound of Chi Yan burning flesh. Lu Jinan's throat tightened and his fingertips trembled as he looked at the person lying on top of him without moving.

"Go... where there's no ghost flame, tear it apart and go in. Exit." Akabane bit his back teeth and propped up one arm so that Lu Jinan could move out.

"I'm seriously injured. You, leave first!"

Lu Jinan watched his shoulders twitching constantly, and his hands hanging by his side clenched and unclenched.

He carefully moved out from under him, and just when Akabane breathed a sigh of relief, he saw the man half-kneeling and bending over again, and he used his elbows to push the man up halfway.

The two knelt face to face. Lu Jinan raised his head, and beads of sweat slid down his forehead until they dried into blood lines. His eyebrows arched, and he relaxedly curled the corners of his mouth towards the person in front of him, "Trust me, I'll take you out."

Looking at the face that was as if he had withdrawn, his fingertips trembled slightly for a moment, then he suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, looked at the smiling face and agreed.

"Okay, I believe you."

He pulled his arm around his neck and held it against his chest, supporting his back with his other hand. The sticky and stinging feeling in his palm made him frown.

After reciting some incantations, Chiyu, who was twice his size, and he were both swallowed by the bubble that had just swallowed Zhu Nu.

Then he called upon Zhu Nu's barrier ball behind him to float towards them.

Chiyu said weakly, "No, this place leads to the Guixu Realm. The flames of those ghost flames can devour such low-level magic."

After hearing his words, Lu Jinan looked at the palm of his hand. The scars crisscrossing his palm were eye-catching. His long eyelashes trembled a few times. Then a short dagger appeared in his hand, and he slashed the wound a few more times.

Akabane's temple bulged. He grabbed his hand and stared at it, watching his blood flow out from between his fingers.

Blood dripped onto the formation beneath their feet, and a layer of faint white light overflowed, covering the entire shape of the two formations like a clear wisp of wind.

Lu Jinan looked at the hand that was holding him in front of him, and calmly put it back, "Hiss... It's okay, one hand in exchange for three lives, that's all profit for me."

He smiled so heartlessly that Akabane lowered his eyelashes and murmured softly, "Is it worth it?"

Lu Jinan didn't hear clearly, but just watched carefully as the barrier ball was getting burned more severely as it got closer to the exit.

So, when he was about to cut his wrist, he was grabbed by the man next to him who was half-supported and about to fall down, and the hand holding the dagger was pulled over by that man.

Without hesitation, he drew his palm across it, then clenched his fist tightly, trying to make the blood flow faster.

As this layer of blood dripped down, the formation pattern underneath was gradually covered with a layer of golden patterns. Lu Jinan looked up at him and met those black eyes.

His voice was still weak. "Compared to your blood, my blood is more effective."

Lu Jinan pulled his arm and said in an urgent tone, "Are you trying to kill yourself? You're already in hemorrhagic shock, and you're still messing around here!" He quickly snatched the dagger back and threw it into space.

He looked at the nervous look of the person in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, "Don't hurt yourself anymore."

Lu Jinan looked at the person in front of him, finally lowered his head and let out a dejected breath.

"Don't talk so much, let me help you treat your wound first."

The blood on Chiyu's back soaked the corners of his clothes into blood red, and when the rest of the formation seeped into the soles of his feet, Lu Jinan could feel that the formation was constantly strengthening.

They were like tiny grass seeds, swallowed up by the scorching lava flames.

As we gradually deepened into this blazing area, the surrounding environment seemed to have been suddenly draped over us. The originally fiery red lava disappeared from our sight, replaced by a dark and oppressive land.

The barrier blocked out the tiny, ghostly sounds around them, and the golden light they shone on gradually became particularly eye-catching in this gloomy place. Akabane looked at the man who was carefully bandaging him, and could see the fine hairs on his face from a few inches away.

Such quiet and intimate moments were something Akabane had only enjoyed in his dreams over the past ten thousand years.

His Adam's apple moved, "You... don't have anything you want to ask me." Lu Jinan finally tied a bow, clapped his hands and stepped back.

The hand that wanted to be placed in his hair was finally withdrawn as he moved.

"Oh, yes, I wanted to ask you something." After Lu Jinan treated his injuries, he asked him to take the nourishing pill.

He stood up again after remembering that he hadn't observed the situation outside the barrier, and Akabane didn't stop when he saw him.

"Actually, you can tell me whatever you want, because I have almost forgotten it." He pursed his lips, and his lake blue eyes flashed.

"However, now that you have recovered your memory, don't try to fool me by calling me Master, Immortal Chiyu." The young man turned around as if joking.

The light was dim, and Akabane looked up at his clear smile with some stagnation. His hair crown was a little loose, and some scattered hairs fell sparsely on his cheeks. The golden light behind him was scattered like stars in the underworld.

"I didn't mean to fool you. I won't lie to you."

"I didn't expect the rewind spell would erase our memories. Thanks to your extra preparation, I was able to remember everything after I woke up."

He seemed to only be able to express his attitude in a serious and rigorous tone. He had been a god for a long time, and the gods in the upper world had gradually disappeared. There was no need for anyone to ask him to explain anything or ask him about anything.

But at this moment, when he saw the young face in front of him reappearing in front of him, he couldn't help but want to explain the image of himself in his mind.

He looked outside and roughly explained his current location to Lu Jinan, "This is the Guixu Divine Realm, the home of all the seas, and the entrance to the underworld. In front of you is the dream of a goddess from the underworld. It was your blood sacrifice that severed the passage between dreams and reality."

"We are clearly in Penglai, so why did we end up in the realm of that goddess in the underworld?"

"Besides, why did you come in too? Did Father, the King, and Mother, the Queen, not find us so they asked you to come find us?"

"Also, why are you injured?"

As he asked questions one after another, even Lu Jinan felt that he was being a little noisy.

But he really didn't know what the situation was like outside. If Akabane had contacted his parents, he would know the situation outside and wouldn't be so worried.

Akabane was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Actually, I don't know either."

"Originally, I was in the Fusang Divine Realm and accidentally touched the Nine Crows' formation. While entangled and fighting with the Nine Suns, I inadvertently absorbed Ju Mang's spiritual consciousness that remained on the upper branch. She asked me to find a place, so I followed her direction and walked for three days. Finally, she said something to me and her spiritual consciousness dissipated. Then I fell into a coma."

Lu Jinan looked at the person in front of him who was telling the story seriously, and with his hand supporting his chin, he connected all the clues in his mind.

"Later, I fell into a lot of mixed dreams, including my memories, as well as the stories of the Goddess of Spring and the Goddess of the Underworld."

Chiyu looked at Lu Jinan, "Then, when I woke up, I saw myself falling here."

Lu Jinan stared at the ground with his eyes lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas states, "Beyond the East China Sea lies a great ravine, the land of Shaohao. Shaohao raised Emperor Zhuanxu here, abandoning his zither and qin. There is a mountain called Gan, from which flows the Gan River, giving rise to the Gan Abyss."

Guixu, also known as "the land of Guixu", is a place full of mysteries and secrets in ancient mythology.

Because Mount Buzhou was hit, the divine pillar supporting the sky and the earth was broken, the sun, moon and stars in the north moved to the west, and a huge ravine appeared in the southeast due to landslides and cracks in the ground, which was called Guixu. The water from the Eight Strings and Nine Fields and the Milky Way in the sky all converged in this ravine, but the water in Guixu would not increase or decrease, like a bottomless pit that could never be filled.

But where does the water go? No one knows. According to legend, Guixu is the entrance to the underworld, and all things will eventually return to Guixu, just like all rivers in the world.

Everything begins with chaos and returns to chaos.

As for Fusang, it is clearly recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas: Overseas Eastern Classic: "There is Fusang on the top of Tanggu, where the ten suns bathe, and it is located to the north of Heichi."

Lu Jinan liked to buy some books to study in the present world, so in addition to some ancient Chinese legends and allusions accumulated in the present world, he also read a lot of books in the previous system library and the current Chiyu collection.

Some people in the modern world have recorded that, in addition to being the sacred tree where the sun resides, the Fusang tree was also believed to be the gateway connecting the divine realm, the human world, and the underworld. Communication between the three realms depended on the Fusang tree, but Houyi stepped on the tree while shooting at the sun, causing it to break, thus severing the connection between the three realms.

This was a good opportunity for him to ask Akabane, "You...is there someone named Hou Yi here?"

Akabane saw him thinking for a long time, and finally read out the name of this person. His eyes darkened, and even he himself did not notice this change in himself.

He shook his head decisively, then said to the other person, "No."

Lu Jinan turned his face away, turning the ring on his finger repeatedly, looking a little distressed.

It seems that they are not connected.

He turned his head again and met those deep gazes. Lu Jinan didn't understand what was going on and wanted to pat his shoulder but found it was bandaged. He moved his hand to his face and saw the expression that was even more severe than that of the dean... He silently retracted his five fingers.

Akabane looked at the person squatting in front of him, hugging his knees, and carefully poking his... face with his index finger.

"Can you please stop staring at me? Or rather, can you stop looking at me with such bitterness and hatred?" Lu Jinan looked at the man who was already touching his face and trying to adjust his expression, and comforted him, "Forget it, just be yourself. It's my problem."

He pointed outside and said, "You can take a look at the amazing scenery outside. It's more beautiful than mine."

Akabane glanced at the ghost ferry outside, his ghost hand groaned, and turned around to look at the boy in front of him who had already turned his back.

Lu Jinan now also saw the strange scenery behind him. He lowered his head and was speechless about what he said. How could he have said it without thinking?

He was so embarrassed that he turned around and continued asking questions.

He wasn't targeting him, it's just... anyone would feel uncomfortable if they were constantly stared at with an enemy's eyes.

"it is good."

A low and pleasant voice fell into Lu Jinan's ear, accompanied by the sound of clothes rubbing against each other. Lu Jinan couldn't help but turn his head to look. The raggedly dressed Qingleng Immortal was sitting back to back, looking at the scenery outside seriously.

Lu Jinan turned his head away, and the corners of his eyes and mouth rose inadvertently. Chiyu heard a small low laugh and turned his head in confusion.

He saw the thin shoulders behind him couldn't help but shrug, and then he looked at the man and coughed a few times as if rubbing his nose, and then turned back when he was about to turn around.

Lu Jinan had finally managed to suppress his laughter, but when he saw that the long bow he had tied was shaking like a child swinging his legs because of the way he turned back immediately, he burst into laughter again.

Akabane heard the people behind him laughing happily. Although he was confused, his mood seemed to have improved from the dullness just now and was also infected by the laughter.

No one would know what he was laughing at. Lu Jinan pursed his lips and his face turned pale with a smile.

Akabane continued to look outside without turning back.

"I haven't finished asking yet, please don't ignore me."

He glanced at the bow and twirled it gently between his fingers.

"You ask."

The straps on his back would occasionally touch his back, making him feel a little itchy.

"Can the Fusang Realm lead to the divine realm, the human world, and the underworld?"

"Ah."

Lu Jinan withdrew his hand because Chiyu reached behind his back and grabbed his wrist.

"Don't swing, it's itchy."

Lu Jinan nodded deliberately, then turned his back, a sly smile flickering in his eyes.

"Okay, no more shaking."

Akabane took back the hand that had just grabbed him, lowered his head and pinched the knuckles of that hand with his other hand.

"I want to ask." Akabane paused for a moment.

When Lu Jinan heard the voice behind him stop abruptly, he replied, "Well, ask."

But Akabane didn't reply to him. He turned his head to look at him and saw that he was staring at the front.

He stuck his head out and asked curiously, "What did you see?"

He looked in his direction, but saw a group of blue souls standing in front of the ferry waiting for the ferryman.

At this time, the red deer following behind them suddenly became agitated. It knew that this barrier was to protect it, so it used its limbs to push the space inside, trying to let it control the direction.

"Little cutie!"

Lu Jinan watched the little guy suddenly roll out from behind him, and then watched it roll towards the ferry.

He raised his hand, wanting to cast a spell to recall Zhu Nu's barrier ball, but his hand seal was held by the person next to him just as he was about to make the spell. He turned his head to look at him.

He just stared in that direction and said softly, "Let it go, we'll go over there too."

Lu Jinan was puzzled, but still followed his instructions and activated the reverse talisman.
