Chapter 625: The Twelve-layer World of the Concentric Sphere
In the ancient age of gods, there was a giant tree called the World Tree, on which lived three creatures.

There is a rooster on the treetop, a poisonous snake at the root, and a squirrel that happily runs back and forth between the treetops and the roots, destroying the relationship between the rooster and the poisonous snake with false slander.

But who would have thought that the rooster and the poisonous snake are two sides of the same soul? Normally, no one would imagine two people who have a bad relationship as two personalities of the same person.

Blaze covered his face, put his hands on his hips, and held his head, finally accepting the setting of "shared soul". Because no one has ever said, or had evidence, that the rooster and the venomous snake are not the same soul.

In fact, he accepted it very reluctantly, but the circumstances around him did not allow him to dwell on this issue for too long.

They successfully arrived at the underground world, and when they looked up, they could see the blazing sun and the world on the other side. It seemed that the entire underground world was built on the inside of a sphere, and they were now standing on a huge, endless ice field.

"If I understand correctly, you and Vader are like a piece of clothing that can be worn inside out. Alchemy makes this clothing interchangeable."

The snake nodded, not sure if it was being frugal with words or simply didn't want to talk.

"Anyway, we can use the alchemy in the pyramid to change you back, right?" Blaze let go of the snake's wrist.

The snake still nodded.

"That's great. Please use your teleportation skills to bring us back to the surface world."

The snake's cooperation made Blaze breathe a sigh of relief, but before he could finish exhaling, the snake moved its lips and made Blaze suck the breath back.

"Our souls are the same elements, in different configurations, like carbon and diamond."

"You!" Blaze held his head in his hands with a look of pain on his face.

Chickens like to pretend to be profound, always talking about a variety of topics to expand simple answers into a complex riddle. Although it may be confusing, the words themselves are still quite interesting.

The snake, on the other hand, explained the principle directly, which sounded like it was answering something irrelevant. The listener would only feel confused, but the snake looked indifferent and would not repeat the explanation a second time.

"I understand. Although you are essentially the same soul, your soul structures are different so you appear to be two completely different souls. Apart from the total amount of souls, your skills are not the same."

Blaze felt that he was being forced to improve his intelligence by the difficulties and obstacles.

Although he felt a great sense of accomplishment, the usual noise of people praising him and being proud of him was gone, and instead there was only a cold gaze. No matter how great the sense of accomplishment was, it was meaningless.

"You don't have the ability to travel through time and space, so you can't take us out of the underground world." Blaze took out the [Emergency Escape Device], and this krypton gold item was still displayed within the effective range.

Using this item, you can leave the underground world directly.

Snake suddenly reached out and held down Blaze's hand as he was about to use the prop.

"You have no way to control all the foreigners and make them obey your will."

"...You mean, the pyramid will be open to all foreigners. There are so many of them and their interpersonal relationships are complicated. I can't use the pyramid casually under such circumstances, so it's better to explore the underground world first."

The snake nodded, then shook its head.

"The alchemical technique that brought about miracles was lost along with the totem, and can only be preserved outside of a complete upheaval."

Blaze felt his temple throbbing. The conversation with the snake was much more difficult than any old guy he had met before.

"The ladder points to the underground. The pharaohs descended from the top... They may have brought the ancient alchemy to the underground world. Do you think I should find it and use it to make an alchemical tool to reconstruct your soul?"

This time the snake did not nod, but raised his hands hanging on both sides of his body and gave a thumbs up. "I have to guess every sentence myself, and then confirm it with you... Where did you learn this laborious way of speaking!"

The snake fell silent again, staring at Blaze quietly.

"Okay, I'll think about it..." Blaze crossed his arms and looked around with a headache.

To be honest, Blaze hoped that nothing unexpected would happen to the chicken, and that the entire alchemy process and the layout of the mausoleum would be exactly the same as before.

This way all errors can be eliminated and the image can be restored perfectly.

But this is obviously unrealistic. In a short time, a large number of foreigners will enter the pyramids, and then they will definitely mess up the pyramids.

In this way, completing a new alchemical ritual is much more reliable, which is equivalent to performing another reversal when the chicken is reversed into a snake.

As for why they were searching in the underground world, it was largely because there was no alchemy anymore on the ground.

The school of astrology still has people to carry on its tradition, but alchemy was lost long ago, not to mention ancient alchemy.

It is said that real alchemy includes magic, manufacturing, alchemy, etc., which is equivalent to an independent career tree. That is why foreigners get excited after hearing about the original alchemy book, The Emerald Record.

The Sphinx proudly said that [Nile] was the origin of alchemy, and this underground world was inextricably linked to [Nile]. The clue to the Emerald Record in the Sphinx's mouth might be here.

"That's all it can do now."

Blaze sighed helplessly. Originally, he only planned to come to the underground world once and then leave, and then help the stranger find the other twelve beasts to gather the basic conditions for the Sun Ritual.

Now he could only leave the matter of the Twelve Beasts to the stranger and concentrate on finding the Jade Record, which he didn't know if it existed, and turn the chicken back into a chicken.

"That guy is always causing trouble." Blaze complained and groped his way out of the huge pit on the ice field with the snake.

This underground world is lifeless. The sun is the center of the underground world. The entire underground world is always under the sun and there is no night.

Without the alternation of day and night, the cycle of life would naturally disappear.

"This place doesn't look like it can support human life. Even if there are clues to the Jade Record here, there are no living creatures to provide us with clues."

"Over there." Snake grabbed Blaze from behind and directed him to look in another direction.

Blaze looked in the direction indicated by the snake, and saw a hole that was beyond imagination, as if a hole had been dug directly on the map.

What was even more shocking was the scene that Blaze saw through the hole.

There is an underground world beneath this hole, and in that underground world there are many similar holes and depressions, and behind those holes and depressions there is another underground world.

"Too amazing! Is this the true appearance of the twelve worlds in the mural?"

The twelve underground worlds are like nesting dolls, nested together. Each world is independent of each other, but closely connected.

This is simply the inside version of the artwork called the Ghost Ball brought by the stranger.
