Original God: Becoming the elder brother of the Thor twins
Chapter 161 Death Reign
Stepping into [Ordinary Land], the road ahead is deep and seems to be covered by thick fog.
As if they were in sync, the three of them quickly clarified their respective responsibilities. Lei Dian Shi was responsible for sweeping away the monsters, Ying was responsible for decrypting the secrets, and Hu Tao, of course, took the lead in the way.
"Hey, I have to say, our cooperation is simply amazing, just like the tacit understanding of old friends who have been working together for many years."
Seeing Lei Dianshi easily deal with a ferocious monster in a moment, a hint of admiration flashed in Hu Tao's smart eyes, and he couldn't help but exclaim in praise.
"Swim across this river, then walk up a few stairs, and you'll reach the border between life and death."
Hu Tao paused for a moment, her beautiful eyes moving as she looked at Lei Dian Shi. A hint of regret flashed across the depths of her eyes, and she secretly wondered in her heart whether she should speak out to persuade him.
After thinking for a moment, Hu Tao smiled cunningly and let Lei Dian Shi explore the way first. He then pulled Ying over and leaned close to her ear, whispering in a low voice but unable to hide his excitement.
Lei Dianshi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, pretending not to hear, and walked straight forward without stopping.
We kept going until a faint light appeared from the cave entrance ahead, and our vision suddenly became clear.
“Is this the boundary between life and death?”
Lei Dian Shi muttered to himself and stepped out of the cave.
In an instant, a strange feeling came to my heart. The scenes on both sides were completely different. The warm light that permeated the boundary between life and death was like strands of warm sunshine, slowly dispelling the bone-chilling coldness in the cave.
"Yes, welcome to the farewell ceremony! Our destination is not far ahead."
"I know you're all very excited right now. You can explore freely and talk freely here. You'll soon find that this place is not much different from other places."
Although she said this, Hu Tao's eyes followed him like a shadow, tightly locked on Lei Dian Shi, afraid that he would make any unusual movements.
"Don't worry, if I take any action, I will inform Master Hu in advance." Lei Dianshi seemed to see through Hu Tao's thoughts and responded with a faint smile.
"Alas!" Hu Tao sighed helplessly, secretly complaining in his heart that this thunder and lightning release was really worrying.
"Traveler, come and get down to business!" Hu Tao caught a glimpse of a soul wandering not far away from the corner of his eye, and hurriedly called Ying forward.
……
Following Ying and Walnut, we spent some time on the border between life and death. In short, we kept moving forward and finally reached the platform.
Then, they reminisced and talked about the past with everyone, and learned about the efforts made by the hall masters of all generations to maintain the balance between life and death, as well as Walnut's unique insights into life and death.
"It seems that Master Hu's business is over. Then, my business is about to begin."
Lei Dianshi raised his eyes slightly, looked towards the mysterious place deeper in the area, and was about to move forward.
"No, Shi, stop!" Ying rushed out like a flash of lightning and stood in front of Lei Dian Shi.
"It seems that you are planning to stop me." Lei Dianshi's eyes were calm, but seemed to have deep meaning.
"Hu Tao has already told us. Although we still don't know the specific reason, the key point is that if you set foot in that forbidden area, you will die! Therefore, we must stop you!"
Ying held the edgeless sword and pointed it directly at Lei Dian Shi. Paimon followed Ying without hesitation, with a determined look on his face.
Lei Dianshi turned his gaze to Hu Tao, but saw that Hu Tao seemed not to have heard anything. He squatted aside and admired the floating clouds leisurely.
In this situation, according to the settings in the game, I feel like I am being treated as a powerful BOSS.
In that case, let’s deal with it well!
"Just leave now and no one will get hurt!"
Lei Dianshi let out a low roar and rushed forward like lightning.
Seeing this, Ying turned around lightly, exerted force with her jade arm, and thrust the edgeless sword forward swiftly.
"Whoa!"
I thought it would be a thrilling and fierce collision with sparks flying everywhere, but unexpectedly, Lei Dianshi had no intention of confronting Ying head-on.
In his mind, the best strategy is to conserve more energy to deal with unknown risks.
Therefore, at the moment when the Wufeng Sword was about to touch him, Lei Dianshi's body flashed, and he used his body skills as if a breeze was blowing past. He used the force to turn around in an instant, slid past Ying's side, and gently pushed Ying forward.
"Sorry, bye."
Lei Dianshi left behind a few words and walked away.
Ying was extremely anxious and wanted to chase after him, but Hu Tao called out to her.
Watching Lei Dian Shi stepping onto the forbidden line, Hu Tao's face was filled with helplessness. She said softly, "There's no need to chase him. This is his own choice. We are powerless to stop him. Let's go."
After saying that, Kurumi gently placed her hand on Ying's shoulder.
"Is there really no other way?"
Paimeng was so anxious that she was spinning back and forth in the air. In her eyes, Lei Dianshi was a perfect person. Apart from anything else, the fact that he would always help fight monsters without hesitation whenever they encountered danger was enough to make people admire him.
"A way? Maybe there is." When Ying heard this, a glimmer of hope suddenly lit up in his eyes.
"But I don't know." However, Walnut's next words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the fire of hope that had just been ignited.
"Don't be like that. Let's go back and see if the guest official has returned. Maybe we can ask him. After all, the guy named Lei Dian is also to blame for entering the dead zone." Walnut blinked and suggested with a smile.
Zhongli's calm and wise face instantly appeared in Ying's mind.
Zhongli is the God of Rock, one of the most knowledgeable and powerful people she knows.
If Zhongli was helpless, then she could only prepare more Mora to give to Hu Tao, and then burn more paper money at Lei Dian Shi's funeral to express her gratitude.
If Lei Dian Shi knew that these two...three people never thought about returning safely from the beginning to the end, I wonder how he would feel. Can't he just hope for something good?
……
"Is there really red spider lily in this place? How did the hall master see it?"
Lei Dianshi slowly moved and stepped into this realm of death.
What he saw was that the scene here was almost the same as the outside world, except that the surrounding color was dyed red, as if soaked in blood, revealing a different kind of weirdness and mystery.
Looking around, he originally thought that it would be a gloomy, dead place full of decay, but to his surprise, there was no such disgusting deadness here.
Under my feet was a small grass that was reflected in the red light. Apart from that, there was no trace of any other living creatures.
"Such a large piece of land, and there's only grass? There's no water?"
He muttered to himself, bent down and picked up a piece of grass, held it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully. This grass was no different from the grass outside, so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary.
He pinched the grass lightly, and the grass fragments flew away in the wind. Then he stood up and began to observe the surrounding environment carefully.
I remember that when I peeked inside at the border between life and death, the scene was not like this. In my impression at that time, there should at least be some rolling hills and valleys.
He opened his arms, trying to feel if there was any breeze, but... not a single breath of wind came through.
Looking back, he was shocked to find that the road he came from had quietly disappeared. There was an endless red grassland in front and behind, like a vast red ocean, and he was trapped in this vast red ocean, isolated and helpless.
This situation is really weird!
Lei Dianshi looked up at the sky. The sky was like a mirror, and the picture on the ground was exactly the same, both endless red.
Lei Dian Shi rubbed his chin, looking up at the sky and down at the ground, but he had no idea what to do. Why not try flying up to the sky and have a look?
As soon as the thought came to his mind, the dragon wings behind him suddenly spread out, and with a flap of the wings, his body flew high up like an arrow.
As he continued to climb, the grass below him gradually shrank, and the sky above him seemed to be slowly shrinking as well.
At this moment, he was caught in a dilemma. If he flew too high and his physical strength and elemental power were exhausted, then it would really be "GAME OVER" for him.
But the unwillingness and desire for the truth in his heart drove him to move forward.
"Wealth is found in danger!"
He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and decided to keep flying into the sky.
There is a kind of perception called intuition, and there is a kind of gain called luck.
"That is?"
Lei Dianshi had excellent eyesight. As he flew higher and higher, the grass on the ground had long disappeared from his sight. At this time, the sky also gradually changed, from its original pure red to a strange transparent appearance with a little red seeping through.
Lei Dianshi stretched out his finger and lightly tapped the sky. In an instant, the originally distant sky seemed to be pulled closer by a mysterious force. The moment his finger touched the sky, it was like a drop of water falling into a clear spring, splashing layers of ripples.
No, this touch, this sight, really feels like water!
Only after Lei Dianshi's arm had completely passed through the watery sky did he suddenly react. Then, a powerful suction force came over him, and his body was uncontrollably sucked in. After a dizzying spin, he finally broke free from the water.
He came to the shore, shook off the water droplets on his sleeves, and then folded his wings.
"This is the real realm of death."
Lei Dianshi looked around and found that he had rushed out of a river, with completely different scenes on both sides of the river.
On one side are the stone buildings that are very characteristic of Liyue, and on the other side are flowers of the red spider lily everywhere, but most of them are in bud, and only a few are in full bloom.
At the same time, there are many undead wandering here.
They have different shapes, and most of them sit cross-legged on the ground with their eyes closed, as if immersed in their own world.
Some stood there with empty eyes and dull expressions.
Some of them seemed to have a clear destination and were slowly moving in one direction.
"There…"
Lei Dianshi's attention was attracted by a building in the distance. It was a building with a strong Sky Island style, standing not far away.
Judging from the scale and style of the building, it is clear that someone lives here, and this person must have a close relationship with Sky Island.
Lei Dianshi secretly suppressed the urge to collect all the red spider lilies here. Although his little hands were trembling slightly unconsciously, his reason told him that he should go and greet the person in charge here first.
Although Lei Dian Shi has some abilities, he must not act recklessly.
He did not think that his strength was strong enough to allow him to do whatever he wanted, but he was confident in his own trump card, so he just hoped that the other party could be someone he could talk to.
Aha: You are worthy of it, Shishi. Aha, you are praising me.
Lei Dian Shi: I must be praising you.
Lei Dianshi walked along the river bank and soon saw a small white castle.
This castle is not particularly gorgeous, but it is undoubtedly the most prominent building in this slightly desolate area.
He arrived at the castle gate and examined it carefully. The material of the door looked extremely unique, perhaps some rare metal or stone. The surface had a faint sheen and a rich texture. It looked strong and durable, yet beautiful.
He was about to reach out and push the door, but it unexpectedly opened on its own, as if sensing his presence. Lei Dianshi paused for a moment, a touch surprised, but then slowly lowered it, took a deep breath, and stepped inside.
The castle was very dark and the light was extremely weak, with only a few rays of light coming in from the window facing the lightning.
The light was like a thread, falling on the throne and the cloaked woman lying on the throne.
"As expected...to be in power is to die?"
Lei Dianshi speculated secretly in his heart and slowly stopped about ten meters in front of the throne.
He bowed slightly, his expression respectful, and said in a clear voice, "Greetings, Your Excellency the Governor."
However, after waiting for a while, there was still deathly silence in the castle, and he did not receive any response.
"Your Excellency the Governor?"
He raised his voice and called out again tentatively.
But the surroundings were still silent, as if his voice was swallowed by the darkness.
"Then don't blame me for being rude."
A trace of uneasiness welled up in his heart, but curiosity and persistence in seeking the truth still drove him forward.
He carefully observed the actions of the ruling party while slowly moving forward.
Until he was about to see part of the ruler's face, suddenly, a strong breath of death rushed towards him like a tide, enveloping him in an instant.
"Back off."
A cold and majestic voice sounded in his ears.
The voice seemed to come from hell, carrying an unquestionable command.
Lei Dianshi did not dare to delay for even a moment. He quickly took several steps back and quickly returned to the door. His eyes were full of vigilance and confusion as he stared at the mysterious figure on the throne.
"Thought you were so brave?"
The ruler on the throne slowly sat up. Although his face was covered by a cloak, the invisible sense of oppression spread like a tangible thing.
Lei Dianshi's heart tightened, but he still pretended to be calm. He pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth and said, "I have always been timid and afraid of death."
He deliberately spoke in a light-hearted and teasing tone, even making a self-deprecating joke.
"Are you afraid of me? Then why do you dare to come here?"
Lei Dian Shi raised a seemingly uninhibited smile, bowed slightly, and said loudly: "I have something to ask of you, so I have to come."
"No."
"..."
Lei Dianshi was suddenly speechless, and the smile on his face froze slightly. He never expected to receive such a decisive rejection.
After a moment, he recovered his composure, frowned slightly, and asked with confusion in his eyes: "You denied it without even listening to me?"
"Yes, I don't like you."
The ruling official's answer was still concise and cold, without any explanation. The unquestionable tone made Lei Dianshi completely confused.
How had I offended this high and mighty ruler?
He thought hard but couldn't figure it out. Could it be that he had inadvertently caused her dislike?
