The time he stayed in this illusion exceeded Chai Anping's imagination, and the stable illusion showed no signs of collapse. If the purpose of his journey was to hear the songs that Ou Chen sang personally, then when he first entered this illusion, he
Already got what I needed.
After visiting every corner of the Palace of Death, he finally came up with the same doubts he had while sitting in front of the sea of flowers that day -
Is this really an illusion?
The laws and energy used by the gods are so real and powerful, how can the illusion show them so similarly?
"The fifth depth...the spiritual realm..."
In order to find evidence that he was still in an illusion, he began to frequently learn about the secrets of the spiritual realm from Ou Chen.
In today's ancient times, the spiritual realm has been divided into depths, and the names are roughly similar to those of the Yodels.
The only difference is probably that the screening mechanism at the shallow level is not yet mature, so the level is unclear, while the deep level is in a period of violent expansion. Even gods born in the spiritual realm have difficulty exploring the spiritual realm.
The deepest spiritual sea is unreachable and unseen!
Demons during this period could still walk openly and openly on the mainland, and some even established secret sects to preach their own doctrines to the outside world and call themselves so-and-so apostles.
The King of Dragons has not yet raged against the heavens, and even the heavenly beings do not even have a fixed habitat now.
Everything is growing wildly.
By controlling Acheron's body, Chai Anping can easily detect subtle changes in the world.
In terms of divine body alone, there are few in the entire world who can compare to Acheron!
"In the spiritual realm, is it possible for the rules of the physical realm to exist?"
"Impossible!" Ou Chen directly vetoed: "The so-called spiritual realm is the opposite of the material realm. Being and non-being, profit and loss, the two cannot coexist. If the rules are intertwined, wouldn't the two realms eventually
Will they merge into one one day?"
Chai Anping thought thoughtfully, and the fifth and sixth depths of later generations will have pseudo-matter laws.
Of course... it may or may not be a false thing created by the beliefs of all sentient beings, and it only works in vain. But if you really want to study some laws, you can only get the mirror flowers and the water moon.
"But if that's the case, why can you gods who were born in the spiritual realm come to the material world and have an impact on the present world?"
"This is a profound question..."
Ou Chen sighed with emotion, and then explained: "Although the two realms are incompatible, they influence each other all the time. For example, the birth and growth of the spiritual realm are closely related to the material realm.
If there is a connection, there will be loopholes. In fact, there are many secret ways to go to the spiritual realm. The Spirit Realm sect studies the spiritual realm. They believe that the spiritual realm is the home of all beauty, and they spend their entire lives trying to create a spiritual country without malice."
Spirit Realm Sect...
It was another sect that Chai Anping had never heard of, but their ideals reminded Chai Anping of the bearded lady sitting alone in the library.
And he only thought about it for a moment and realized that he was actually asking an idiot question - because he himself had entered the spiritual realm many times.
“As the spiritual realm gradually grows, the two become more equal, and their influence gradually favors ‘interaction’, so there is a soil for us to exist.
But your appearance is a miracle even rarer than ours... It seems that the spiritual realm has the ability to reverse time and space."
"ha……"
Chai Anping was noncommittal. He knew that there were indeed people in Runeterra who controlled time, not to mention the plunderers like Ike and the guardians of time like Kieran.
The power of time is very mysterious, but the threshold is very flexible, because Kieran was once just an ordinary mage.
Of course, he has the talent to study time.
An even greater influence is Bandle City, which is also a miracle created by time.
Therefore, as to whether time and space can be reversed in the spiritual realm, Chai Anping can only say that it is definitely possible.
But whether such an opportunity will fall on him, Chai Anping can only say that it is possible in his dreams.
Temporarily putting aside his doubts about his surroundings, Chai Anping gradually gained Ou Chen's trust without realizing it.
Communication is mutual. Chai Anping is understanding Ou Chen, and Ou Chen is also understanding Chai Anping.
To a certain extent, Xiaochai-san is quite harmless in the eyes of the ancient gods.
(Of course this is not a compliment at all)
In Ou Chen's eyes, Chai Anping's character even tends to be "weak". In this era, is it possible that such a person exists?
Therefore, sometimes, Ou Chen would even take the initiative to ask Chai Anping about his views or political opinions on certain things.
In addition to handling affairs within the territory, Ou Chen's daily work also includes touring most of Hades, which is also the only safe base for their Death camp in the spiritual realm.
Chai Anping carried Acheron's body and followed Ou Chen day and night. It had attracted a lot of discussion recently, but Ou Chen had no intention of explaining it.
Thanks to this, Chai Anping also came into contact with a lot about the procedures for extraditing dead souls in the underworld.
First of all, after the death of the living, the beast-faced messengers called "Netherworld Returners" will be introduced to the spiritual realm. The mountain-moving giants made of aster petals will pick up the bronze ships full of dead souls and carry the dead souls through the spiritual realm.
Many dangers.
Walk through boundless wilderness and cross steep mountain peaks.
Just like the dangers Chai Anping once experienced, the souls of the dead gradually left behind the pain and despicability of their previous lives in the face of hardships and dangers, and became pure and clear again.
Single-winged birds will surround the ship and sing sad songs of mourning.
The spirits born from the aster flowers cheer up the sorrowful souls of the dead.
The clear River Styx led the giants to a safe passage across the depths.
Eventually, the dead souls will arrive at the entrance to Hades.
Stepping off the bronze ship, walking alone on the long soul bridge built by Ou Chen himself, folding the last memories into a small boat, putting it into the Styx, listening to Ou Chen's soft singing, and returning to the original hometown.
The whole process is full of simple beauty. Ou Chen said that he does not like the violence and madness of death. The root of death is tranquility and beauty.
It’s hard to leave when it’s over,
It is the mournful cry when forgotten,
It is the hope that blooms in new life.
The long journey is the last tenderness Ou Chen left to the souls of the dead, allowing them to say goodbye to their past calmly.
Chai Anping can see many prototypes of the fifth depth.
Some are miracles created by the Death God camp with the help of the spiritual realm, and some are miracles they have transformed the environment to make it a passable and smooth road.
While singing on the river bank, Chai Anping noticed that Ou Chen's voice was no longer sad, and even the final lyrics had changed.
It seems that this song is just for Ou Chen to express his mood at a certain moment. The Ou Chen language that communicates death will automatically make the language fit the rhythm, making Ou Chen's voice more moving than a lark.
The returning souls stared at Him obsessively, admired Him, and worshiped Him.
Countless garlands and river water were thrown into the sky by them, and finally fell into the River Styx.
