Chapter 1669: Chapter 1001: Here Lies the Netherworld
What is a wandering spirit?
Before the Blue Star flood apocalypse arrived, the so-called wandering spirits were actually just passed down orally among people.
Over time, people seem to have formed some stereotypical descriptions of wandering spirits.
For example, wandering spirits have no physical form, drifting like the wind, disappearing without a trace.
Many wandering spirits have blue faces and sharp fangs, retaining a terrifying appearance from when they died.
Also, wandering spirits fear light and yang energy, among other things.
The woman before them indeed had many features that matched those of wandering spirits.
For instance, she’s a pure energy entity without a physical form; when she activates her powers, she becomes terrifying with a blue face and sharp fangs.
However, whether she fears light and yang energy would have to be tested to be determined.
Thinking of this, Liang Yuan suddenly raised his hand, gathering a ball of light attribute energy in his palm.
In an instant, the entire underwater palace seemed to be lit up.
Suddenly, from the shadows deep within the palace, numerous strange noises could be heard.
It seems quite a few monsters were spectating nearby earlier.
Liang Yuan didn’t pay attention to those monsters, instead focusing on the female ‘ghost’ in front.
At this moment, the female ghost merely furrowed her brow slightly; there was no hostility towards the light, but she was clearly somewhat agitated.
She didn’t like light.
Liang Yuan immediately noticed this and asked, “Are you afraid of the light?”
“Humph.”
The woman coldly snorted, not answering, but judging by her physical state, she seemed unaffected.
Liang Yuan began to ponder.
Light is essentially a wave.
Long before the apocalypse flood, scientists had already proven that light possesses wave-particle duality.
Wave-particle duality means that light not only has wave properties but also particle properties.
Later, scientists established electromagnetic induction, classifying light as an electromagnetic wave.
This indicates that light is endowed with multiple characteristics simultaneously.
Later, the renowned concept of light quantum emerged.
And since light possesses electromagnetic induction, it suggests that it might generate a magnetic field under certain conditions.
As ‘ghosts’ in the form of pure energy entities, they are essentially a form of energy magnetic field.
Therefore, ‘ghosts’ will certainly be affected by light.
Of course, this influence isn’t fatal, but undoubtedly, it would make ghosts feel uncomfortable.
The stronger the light, the more ‘ghosts’ dislike it.
Perhaps this is why ‘ghosts’ and similar superpower users dislike light.
And precisely as humans evolved, ordinary people summarized the behavioral traits of ‘ghosts,’ leading to the common saying that ghosts fear light.
Liang Yuan said indifferently, “The so-called wandering spirit is merely a form of superpower.”
“When you first appeared, it wasn’t in the ‘ghost’ state.”
“Who are you? What is your name? What exactly happened here, why did it turn out like this?”
The woman coldly laughed, not answering Liang Yuan’s questions.
Seeing this, Liang Yuan wasn’t angry; he turned to Shi Haizhu beside him and said, “Open the coffin. If she won’t talk, we’ll find the answers ourselves.”
Shi Haizhu regained his composure and said, “Is this girl a superpower user? I thought she was really a ghost.”
Saying this, he walked over to a coffin, raising his hand to push open the coffin lid.
The female ghost was instantly frantic, shouting gibberish in haste.
Shi Haizhu lacked mind sensing ability, completely unable to understand.
However, Gu Feng hurriedly stopped Shi Haizhu and shouted, “Captain Shi, she’s saying stop.”
Shi Haizhu chuckled, “She says stop, and I stop? I only listen to Mr. Liang.”
Saying this, he suddenly lifted the coffin lid!
Boom!
The coffin lid was forcibly lifted by him.
But surprisingly, the coffin lid didn’t open; instead, the entire coffin was lifted up.
Because chains fixed it below, the coffin clattered and fell back to the ground.
Instantly causing a large number of bubbles to rise and roll.
Shi Haizhu was astonished, “Is this welded together?”
While speaking, he approached again, directly stepping on the coffin base, gripping the coffin lid with both hands, preparing to forcibly peel it off.
This sight startled the ‘female ghost’ into changing her complexion drastically, she immediately screamed.
But she was tightly bound by Liang Yuan’s puppet threads, completely unable to move, only able to shout helplessly.
She turned to Liang Yuan, shouting excitedly.
“Stop now, have your people stop now, what do you want? What do you intend to do?”
Liang Yuan impassively responded with consciousness, “Answer my question.”
“Question? What question?”
“What is your name?”
The female ‘ghost’ hurriedly replied, “My name is Meng Ting.”
The name Meng Ting held no meaning in consciousness, but the woman’s mouth also moved.
She uttered the sounds of ‘Meng Ting.’
Liang Yuan considered her to be called Meng Ting.
“What is this place?”
“Netherworld.”
Liang Yuan showed slight surprise, “Netherworld?”
He was too familiar with this name; probably there isn’t anyone who doesn’t know this place.
Liang Yuan asked, “Is there no one here?”
“Many people used to be here, many spirits lived here, and there were some immortals residing here.”
“Since the great calamity of heaven and earth, the spiritual energy dwindled, immortals no longer are immortal, and spirits also fell silent.”
“The great figures in the underworld left to find a way to break the calamity, and from then on, no news ever returned.”
Meng Ting hurriedly answered, while also saying, “Can you have your companion stop first? I’ve said everything.”
Liang Yuan looked at Shi Haizhu, at this moment Shi Haizhu lifted forcefully again, finally opening a piece of the coffin lid.
Only then did Liang Yuan speak, “Stop now.”
Shi Haizhu quickly stopped, but still glanced at the situation inside the coffin.
With one look, his face suddenly changed, quickly retreating a step.
Seeing this, Gu Feng asked curiously, “What’s inside?”
“See for yourself.”
Gu Feng hurriedly approached, instantly also exclaiming.
Meng Ting was furious, shouting, “I’ve told you everything, how can you still desecrate the corpse of the deity!”
Liang Yuan glanced at her and said, “You spoke too late.”
“Bastard!”
Liang Yuan didn’t bother with angry Meng Ting.
He turned to look into the coffin, inside lay a large corpse.
The body had a human physique but a bull’s head.
It wore ancient armor, muscles bulging even without life; its former terrifying power could still be sensed.
Liang Yuan merely glanced at it, losing interest.
This was a superpower user’s corpse at the gene recombination level.
Its strength wasn’t enough for Liang Yuan to esteem, but the fact this corpse could be preserved underwater for so long was surprising to Liang Yuan.
“Is this the deity you mentioned?” he asked Meng Ting.
Meng Ting glared angrily, reluctant to continue answering him.
Seeing this, Liang Yuan coolly said, “If you don’t speak, my men will continue to open other coffins.”
Meng Ting was suddenly furious, with no choice but angrily saying, “This is Lord Bullhead, a great general of the underworld back in the day!”
Liang Yuan was stunned, “Bullhead?”
Gu Feng and Shi Haizhu exchanged glances, full of astonishment.
“There’s Bullhead, could there be Horseface too?”
“Could this really be the legendary underworld?”
“Bullhead Horseface, Ten Kings of the Underworld?”
“Hiss, are we really in the real underworld?”
For a moment, both Gu Feng and Shi Haizhu couldn’t help but look shocked.
The underworld, the legendary final resting place for the dead.
Unexpectedly, they could actually arrive in such a place someday.
It’s just different from what they imagined.
The ancient legendary underworld, turned out to be just an alternate space, huh?
The legendary Bullhead and Horseface here, all ancient superpower users?
